Stuck at bootscreen - Galaxy S II General

So I was on Rom Manager, downloaded a Baseband, when it finished downloading, RM asked if I wanted to proceed into recovery mod, I clicked next. It rebooted the fone, and is stuck at bootscreen since. I can enter download mode but not recovery mod. The fone doesnt boot up, just stuck. I had the exact same problem last week, trying to flash a differwnt baseband. I'm having CWM recovery 5.0 something (I didn't flash it), WanamLite 4.2, siyah 2.0 kernel. Does anyone else have the same problem ?

Flash a fresh rom with Odin.

I had a similar problem that was resolved by flashing a new recovery via ODIN. Once in recovery, I flashed a stock ROM and everything cleared up.

It shouldn't be allowed to post this question anymore .. theres's 100 topics about it, even a sticky!
What more do you need? You already said it yourself, that you can get into download mode. Now if you was able to achieve CWM on your own, you should know what to do..
And for God's sake, post it in the right section.

Can't Boot Into CWM from RM

Can anyone hep?
I have tried many times to boot into recovery from RM to now avail. Cannot flash a rom or theme either...
I tried flashing CWM for another phone, then reflashing Fascinate but that didn't work either.
Thoughts? Help?
I can manually boot into CWM.
Did you flash the CWM enabling patch through Odin?
Here is the link from the two submitted guides on root CWM, etc. in development:

You must run this patch before rom manager will install its custom recovery.

I'd guess flashing the wrong phone is what messed you up but if you can get into CWM recovery manually can't you flash roms/themes from there, or is that not working too? If it is working, then you don't really need be able to do it from Rom Manager.

sure did... going to try uninstalling RM, RE-flashing the Odin patch, then RE-installing RM.
Thank you though!

I had originally flashed the Fascinate, then by suggestion, flashed another phone and then the fascinate again... no luck.
I dont MIND booting into CWM manually, but so much easier to click and go, you know... laziness
You need to be rooted for ROM Manager to reboot the phone at all let alone into recovery. So just flashing CWM patch with Odin and then trying to have ROM Manager reboot the phone without root access isn't going to work.

Help: suddenly bootloop

Hi all,
My tab was using overcome 2.3.1 custom. Suddenly it just boot and looping while running diceplayer.
I still can go to recovery mode CWM, and want to reinstall the ROM. The question is, how do I copy ROM zip image to sdcard root while the system is still bootloop? I have searched google and forum with no luck.
Thanks and really appreciate your kind advice.
Cases like this is why I always keep a copy of the ROM I flash on the tab and a nandroid usually.
The only way I know for you to get from here to there is sammobile stock with Odin and then proceed to root and flash to where you want to be. Of course this will delete all your data. If you have things you can't lose, you might want to wait and see if others have easier and ways with no data loss.

Let it settle in recovery mode. Push the .zip rom via ADB.
Reboot recovery . Flash. Reboot. Enjoy.

Had the same problem over the past 24hrs
(I have a GT-N8013 with stock ICS firmware root injected installed, when I went to check if a JB update had come out it didn't recognize the stock root injected firmware as stock and proceeded to try and install ICS without root through TWRP and continued to loop through recovery and installation.. unsuccessfully)
I am now posting this from the GT-N8013 so here's how to do it:
1) Use ODIN to flash CWM (Google them if you don't know what they are. I am new and cant post links yet)
2) Boot Your Note 10.1 into recovery by holding down Volume Up and Power, wait until the samsung logo shows up twice, then release the power button and you should end up in recovery.
3) Wipe Data/Factory Reset
4) Clear Cache
5) Advanced/Wipe Dalvik Cache
-Repeat Steps 3-5 twice (three times total)
6) Reboot and voila! You are back to your original rom all nice and neat.
Tried that as well no go still goes to black screen after the screen that says Samsung galaxy note 10.1. I hear boot sound but Samsung doesn't show up just blank screen.

[Q] doing something wrong?

Ok I clearly must be doing something wrong when it comes to flashing ROMs as the only I used to be able to install them was through Odin on my old gs2 and so far have been unable to install one via recovery on my new s4.
I follow the instructions exactly but yet find my self either bootloop(rarely) or most of the time stuck at the screen with white text of "Samsung Galaxys4 gt-i9505" on screen.
I have waited up to 30 mins on this screen as I have read first boot can take some time but 30mins should be enough?
Eventually I have to flash stock via odin to have my phone back working.
Loosely step by step this has been my process.
1)flash a recovery with odin(whichever recovery rom author recommends)
2)boot into recovery
3)full wipe
4)install zip from ext card
5)select rom
6)wait till installed it then asked me to install root, have tried both install and not install root
7)phone reboots, stuck on Samsung Galaxys4 gt-i9505 screen.
This is the same with omega,foxhound and wanamlite, clearly I am missing something here for it not to install correctly.
If it matters I am on t-mobile UK.
I have tried rooting the stock rom first before installing anything still no difference.
Thanks for reading
sometimes mine gets stuck on that screen as well after flashing something... i just hold the power button to restart the phone and then generally it boots up fine...
also I'm assuming you have an i9505?

Yes i9505, I have tried long holding power button but just goes back to that screen. Just finding it quite frustrating now it must be something simple I'm missing.

just tried for omega and foxhound and no difference just going to try the last one now.
just download a pre-rooted stock, flash via odin, then flash a recovery via odin, wipe everything, format /system and then install a custon first boot takes around 3 minutes...
Have now managed to get wanamlite up and running using the wipe cache & dalvik after installing rom, I am still none the wiser as to why the other two wouldn't install.

My friend has the exact same issue on his i9505 using twrp, he tried to flash various ROMs but not getting past boot screen, fortunately his back up worked but still no luck in getting a ROM to flash...very odd
Edit: he is running a 3 network supplied phone if that make any difference

I have exactly the same!
Formatted, factory reset, wipe cache/dalvik, stock firmware using Odin, Nothing is working so far..
$%^$%
Now trying to instal FoxHound 0.5.
Well still having problems lol no idea why but I can only install two ROMS but I am happy with the one I'm currently using but your always curious to see what the others are like.
If you guys are using twrp as your recovery and you format internal sd this will happen. It is a know issue with that recovery. It messes with the partition and you need to flash a different recovery. You may need to Odin back to stock to get the partition right and go from there. Hope this helps.

Im currentl;y using philz_touch recovery, I have been having to go back to odin and flash stock rom just to get the phone running again after trying these roms. I havent tried any roms from the original android development forum so might see if I get any joy with them, I know it must be something silly I'm missing
It happens if the base ROM you are currently on isn't the same or similar to the ROM you're trying to flash. Maybe changelog of the ROM you're trying to flash is a lot higher tan your current ROM and things get mixed up. I have always had success by performing a factory reset after flashing the ROM.
I had the exact same problem going from MDE firmware to Omega V7. After flashing Omega again I did a factory reset and it was sweet

Tried to restore from a backup, flash failed. TWRP asking for password?

I cant reinstall my ROM or flash anything, i cant even boot into anything but recovery and download.
I did not set a password, i tried restoring hyperdrive from a backup.
Is there a default password to TWRP recovery?
If not, can i flash recovery without booting into my phone.
EDIT:
I'm following this guide here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2301259&highlight=stock
and here:

To flash via ODIN.
I've seen that with a bad download of twrp. Download load it again and then reflash it.
Edit, at this point you might be better off using Odin to flash the stock rom and starting over. I'm not sure if an odin flashable version of twrp exists.

Went through the Odin process and now i'm stuck at the Samsung custom screen, wont go any farther.
Any suggestions?
EDIT
WOAH Looks like i have stock recovery now. Trying to factory reset etc...
EDIT 2:
Alright so the process i took was to flash the stock factory image using Odin, then reboot into recovery and factory wipe/reset phone.
It's booting up into the stock rom now..... Woot!
Yep, that's what it all should be.
