So i did a soft brick yesterday..
Applied voodoo, then tried to restore a non voodoo backup.. My bad
Since then i have used ODIN and flashed the justinthecroud "stock"
After that i re-flashed some rom's but once i get in to the OS and Download rom manager i have nothing but issues.
Rebooting via ROM manager in order to flash a new rom, or even "reboot recovery" via the terminal i just get the "vibrant" screen and then nothing..
This has happened a few times.
Since then i flashed the leaked 2.2 posted by Eugean (via ODIN).
Then macnut12
Again, as soon as i use ROM Manager and try to get in to recovery directly from the OS i get soft bricked...
Anyone have any clue?

Timeline:
Flashed Onyx 4.2
Flashed EugeneKernel A11
Installed OCLF through Clockwork
---everything was working fine, but im anal about my phone and decided i wanted to nandroid restore back to 2.1, so heres that time line:
Disabled OCLF
Factory Wiped
Installed JAC-OV/UV Kernel (2.1 compatible)
Went to Nandroid Restore
I noticed that the restore finished way more quickly than usual, but clockwork said it finished successfully. so i went to reboot and it rebooted into stock recovery. odd. so i chose "reinstall packages" to flash back into clockwork, and now everytime it says "replacing recovery with Clockworkmod recovery" it then goes to "Vibrant" screen, and boots back into stock recovery. (same thing happens if i simply try to reboot, i always get sent back to stock recovery)
So is this happening because Clockworkmod LagFix edition is not compatible with my 2.1 kernel?? If so, is there a way to correct this WITHOUT using Odin?? ( i tried to adb push my old clockworkmod update.zip, in hopes that it would just overwrite the current one, it pushes successfully but same symptoms still occur)
Thanks ahead! (also, since i just backed up my sdcard today, id be more than willing to wipe my sdcard, if theres a way to do that through ADB without needing to be in ADB shell)
my phone is stuck at stock recovery screen..
when i turn on the phone, samsung logo appears, then right after it takes me to
android system recovery screen... it's not booting T_T tried Odin stock recovery,
nandroid.. nothing seems to get my phone to boot up. help me please !!
What happened prior to cause this scenario? Any custom roms or kernels etc...
I have the same problem,
it happend after a couple of rom flashes. i think the reason is in voodoo kernal. Tried to flash it with odin and then remove, but no luck...
it exchanged the master boot record on the device so it wont boot properly.
Tried to change mbr to original one with adb shell, but it says "device not found"
What am I doing wrong?
HELP US PLEASE!!!!
ive updated to dj05, flashed voodoo 5, then i was flashing the boot animation through
rom manager. for some reason it got stuck in the process saying 'finding zip file'.. so i
pulled out the battery.. once i reboot it, i knew something was wrong with the phone
at this point. it keeps getting me to the voodoo lagfix recovery which is all red color, i went to irc and got help getting rid of voodoo so its back to stock recovery and pushed in stock files through odin. but still when i turn on the phone, after samsung logo it keeps getting me to the stock recovery screen instead of booting the system..
You are selecting PDA within odin correct? Have you followed this procedure? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=782204&highlight=odin
Yes i did everything.. i uninstalled voodoo by flashing novoodoo 1129 .. this is how the stock recovery came back from the voodoo lagfix recovery. is something wrong in the process..? do you think

Hello,
my phone was working like a charm with cm 7.1 , Siyah Kernel, clockworkmod recovery mod 5.0.2.
I decided to upgrade my Siyah Kernel from 2.0 beta 8 to v2.
I used the QR code from Xda forum. Phone downloaded kernel, then once download finished, opened Rom Manager app, then invite me to install the new .zip file.
I usually do it manually, in rebooting in recovery and installing the .zip file in recovery mod, but I wanted to try this way.
Now my phone doesn't boot, hanf on on Samsung logo. No recovery mod available, only download mod.
Tried to reinstall ClockworkMode recovery 5 with Odin, but nothing happens. The yelow box stays yellow, and message hans on at Setup connection.
I alos tried to flash P-SBL.tar with odin, but it failed.
So, what can I do??
EDIT : Issue solved. Retried with Odin and ClockworkMod. This time I booted in recovery, phone booted in it and installed new kernel, and the booted in cm 7.1. I do think this issue came from Rom Manager.
So far as i know, using rom manager with the S2 is a mistake.
The S2 dosnt like rom manager much, and it can end up in a lot of problems up to a semi bricked phone.
Glad you solved it , but i recommend to avoid rom manager for now
ok, I am using a GT-19505, root with CF-Auto-root, using TWRP recovery
the problem is, when I put a rom in sd card and try to flash it, it will usually says fail (I am sure I get the right version for my device, and I tried many different rom), no matter how many times I re-download the rom, it will says it failed. Even if it success (i.e. omega 7.1 rom), it got stuck in the boot screen forever. I tried to use odin to flash a stock rom, but it also got stuck in boot screen for half an hour before I pull battery.
so far the only successful flashing is a cyanogenmod nightly on 7/14 (I tried other days one, but they all failed to flash). I tried to restore that rom after attempt to flash another rom (omega 7.1), but find out it was factory reset after boot up. I got into the recovery and see that my data partition has 1016154 MB of stuff through the backup option.
I have no idea what had happen, and how to solve it, can someone help?
lg g2 att rooted with stock ROM
i actually already found a fix here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2451696
but i tried it and it didn't work.
the phone connects fine to my computer and ADB works even though it's in recovery, but after copy/pasting the code i'm still getting the same problem.
i've tried a full wipe, and trying to install an old backup. i've tried installing the stock rooted rom again, still ending up at CWM recovery.
any other options?
