Big problem with my sgs2 :(

Everything have worked fine until now..
Latest things i did was update firmware on the camera, then rebooted and the camera worked just as fine as before.
I had two framework-res.apk's that i have moded from my own frameworkfile in kitchen, i did try both out and they worked just fine before, i did rename them and hade both in my bluetooth folder on the phone.. one circle and one guage battery framework modfile.
I wanted to go back to the guagefile, so i copied the file (it was renamed framework-res..guage.apk) and pasted it in the framework folder on the phone, renamed it and now it seamed i had two framework-res.apk files... thought one would overwrite the other, but no it didnt. So i checked what file was oldest and deleted that and rebooted, now i cant get by the samsung logo have tried everything and it just wont go any further
Could anyone help me with what to do pleeeeeease ? i can flash with odin, and i have tried flasing kernels unsecure and original with no effect, please help me !! i really hope this phone isnt bricked now

Put phone in download mode or cwm and flash a rom. Use a stock rom made for your phone.

I would prefer not to flash a new rom as there is many things on my phone that i dont want to get wiped away. I have some movies in the camera folder that i havent made a backup for yet and i just cant live without them, if they are lost i could just as well throw away the phone

root it , then buy titanium backup from the market and backup what you want , then flash rom , then install titanium again , then reinstall back up , easy peasy
your phone will have what you want on it still and hopefully be working again
have a good day
flashing a rom shouldnt clear your mass memory mate , your videos etc should remain unless you use the android restore function in settings or format it via pc

sorry didnt read post properley my fault :-(
still flashing a new rom wont delete your mass memory files
it never has on mine , as the other user said , wipe , wipe cache , wipe dalvik cache , if this still doesnt boot then flash a rom of your choice it may bring it back fine and your mass memory should be intact
leomar2.4 / 2.5 / 2.6 / doesnt touch the mass memory files anyways so your videos would be fine and you would have one of the best roms going

No worries
As it is now i can only get into odin mode.. down volume,home button,power button and get connected to the odin flashprogram, that is the only thing i can do
So even if my pictures and movies are on phones internal sd-card it wont be deleted ?? i just need to know this before i do something major like new rom.
I have a external sd-card to and i guess that wont be effected, but i dont know about the internal sd-card
Can i flash a rom without do those wipe cleaning stuff i read about that seams to be important to do before flashing a new rom ?
If it is just the framework-res.apk file thats wrong, cant i flash a new framework file with odin ? if for some reason there was something wrong there.

What rom do you use now? Wiping data wipes everything, wiping cache and dalvik cache shouldn't delete any personal data.

Im running original stock rom with unsecure kernel..

Just flash a stock ROM with Odin.
It won't remove anything, it'll all br there.

Wipe will only wipe /data and /system which will be user and system apps and data.
You wont lose anything on the internal sd card and ext sd card.
You can always flash the same rom as you had before over the top which should fix the framework.

just flash non wipe rom from intratech topic, it will fix it for you
or boot into recovery, do backup there, flash new rom and then restore advenced only data in recovery
and as was mentioned before, reset/wipe/new rom through odin will not touch pictures/movies/music on internal sd card only apps and app setup with data will be erased

Thanks everyone for your help, you are really a great bunch of people here, so fast and very helpful, thank you all so much !
I must admit that my heart stopped for a moment when i couldnt get it restarted, forgot to breath but i did as you said only thing is i didnt flash a stock rom, i flashed a very nice rom called lightning and im much more happy with my phone now then i was before... in the end it was a good thing maybe that this happen to me today, otherwise i would probably never have gone from stock rom, now im glad i did it's faster and everything is better, and i could just now flash a new bootanimation that i couldnt do before, i tried the cool pc bios boot and im very happy with that, overall it feels like a new improved phone
Thanks everyone !!! Have a great eavning !

All you had to do was boot in recovery, and adb a stock frameworkres.apk to the phone and it wouldve booted fine! Or made a flshable zip that copies the stock frameworkres.apk and flash that through clockwork!
...and on the 8th day he created the SGS II!

I think my brother bricked my Defy+ =0

Today I ask my brother to install me some apps I put in a folder while I was away. Unfortunately, I forgot to remove 2nd init app (the one with the custom recovery for defy). My brother told me he installed it, pressed Install Bootmenu and then the phone lagged so he rebooted it.
Now my phone gets stuck after the red M appears when I try to load it. I can still go into recovery but it fails to do actions I thought would solve the problem such as wiping cache, and when I try to do so it says failed to mount E;/
How can I solve such problem? I think I can reinstall CM10 but I dont have any recent backups of important items like Whatsapp conversations.
By the way I am using Quarx's CM10 , forgot to mention that.
Please tell me how can I solve this issue and load my phone, preferably without reinstalling CM.
Thanks in advance, and I hope you can answer asap, Im really worried about this situation!

Does that bootmenu have adb or mount option? If it does you may be able to restore you bootmenu by using Linux.
Tell me if it has an option for adb or mount, and I'll tell you what to do.

Yes this problem happens to me as well! However I purposely install 2ndInit again because that earlier version of recovery that it installs allows me to mount my sdcard. But for you I'm afraid it has the opposite effect.
In custom recovery try these:
Mounts and Storage > check that you can unmount/mount things (post here what you can and can't)
If you can mount your sdcard: Go to Advanced > Start adb, Mounts and Storage > Mount usb drive, then you can copy over the files you want to flash and reflash everything.
As for backups, I'm afraid there is little you can do.

Can you do a normall boot if you can head to settings strorage and (Something cant remmeber ) go to factory reset! You will have to reset your phone. If not i dont know what to do except wipe th sdcard and try to reinstall to factory reset!i hope this helps!
To help other people in this matter could you list all the steps you took before messing up!

[Q] Semi-brick internal memory issue

Hi everyone, sorry to post but I'm at wits end.
I've searched and googled all over for the past week and have found problems similar to mine but none of the fixes have worked.
If this has already been asked I apologise and will remove but here goes:
I rooted my phone and using the latest cwm flashed the rc1 of cm10, this didnt flash properly so I tried again, no joy.
I read around and decided to try with a different recovery, twrp.
So I tried flashing with that, again no joy. so i used twrp to do factory reset and cache wipes. As I was unfamiliar with the layout of twrp I'm under the impression I've deleted or wiped the cache/system and data partitions.
I've since flashed a PIT file to restore the original partitions, gone back to stock tried reflashing new roms. Its been a nightmare.
The issue itself is no recovery can mount the ext-sd which is actually the internal memory and cannot access the cache/log etc.
The phone itself shuts down randomly and then will not boot up.
Adb can't write or push anything to the device either, the strange thing is when the phones working for brief periods of time I can read and write to device memory?so at this point I'm flat out of ideas.
Any help/ideas or advice would be gratefully received, once again thanks guys

Ext sd is your sdcard.Internal memory is the system and data.
The pit file was not needed after you formatted the system.Its only for repartition.
My suggestion is to format system flash stock rom do a factory reset then reboot.

Sorry thats my mistake, I can't mount ext-sd in recovery to format it and nothing can be acessed in cache or cache/logs, hence I thought it was an issue with the partitions. I've tried your suggestion but will try again.
Thankyou

Is your phone booting fine ? I didn't understand your actual problem.I just checked the recovery.Sd-ext is the second partion for the sdcard./external sd is the sdcard.
If cache can't be mounted just format it.

Hi again. Cache can be mounted and formatted but recovery can't access cache/logs. My biggest issue is that the phone will randomly close when under stress and hit a bootloop that can only be cured by attaching the charger. The phone does boot I'm currently running pacman ROM. Tbh I'm fairly certain I wiped something important but flashing stock and even a pit file hasn't corrected it

Weired.Did you try other recoveries ? Unfortunately I don't have any idea of what else you can do.

I've tried cwm, twrp and am currently running philztouch recovery as this seems to be the most stable on my phone, I can mount every directory but sd-ext and it also cant format that directory.
I installed AParted app to it this afternoon during a shortlived moment of clarity, phone not me, and tried fixing partitions/blocks. the only viewable were /dev/block/mmcblk0 and /dev/block/mmcblk1
the former, blk1 had 4 pieces of varying sizes but no registered file system whilst the latter was fat32. Could it be that the unacessable sd-ext is in the wrong file format? I've read for cwm and philz it needs to be ext4 but I may be mistaken.
also the crashing seems to occur when an app or process attempts to write to our unaccesable area and leaves me in a bootloop stating the battery is dead. So weird...
beginning to lose hope of solving this and fixing my buggy phone
Anyone with any ideas/experience please help, I'm willing to try almost anything at this point
thanks again guys

ext-sd?
Have no idea about this, but who cares
Many TWRP and CWM first releases break /data and /cache when you format them in recovery
Only known fix for is to flash a full STOCK rom (sammobile tar.md5) using odin + PIT (the right one, memory wise)
All my last recovery releases fully support all format options on S4
By the way, internal storage = sdcard = /data

Thanks for your quick reply Phil. I've flashed back to stock multiple times using a pit file and the sammobile firmware for my device. No joy unfortunately. And your recovery brings back an error when trying to mount or format sd-ext. I don't know what the issue could be but its crashing my phone near constantly

Hi,
try to fix it tru kies recovery.

Have you tried formating your Ext SD card in a PC? maybe its corrupt?
Also the boot loop you mentioned, only being fixed by attaching a charger sounds like a faulty battery. Is it swollen in the middle?
I would try new SD card and/or battery and see if that helps.

I've tried lies and no joy. The sd-ext is a partition in the internal memory not the external SD card, confusing I know. Battery appears fine. During my reading someone mentioned it may be inaccessible due to it being in the wrong format also that it could've corrupted blocks of memory and the crash occurs when the phone tries to access said block. Any thoughts?

Hhhhmmm have you tried running a e2fsck on the sd-ext block?

Sd-ext is the second partition of the SD card while /external-sd is the primary.If you don't have a second partition that's normal if it can't get mounted.

sd-ext is in external_sd
If that's only error you get, it is not an error, it is normal
Google for sd-ext

Well that clears that issue but still leaves me with the crashes and bootloop.
When I try to flash a ROM via recovery it isn't 100percent successful and it then says it can't access cache and cache/recovery/log even though when the phone is running they are visible so I know they're there. This is driving me to despair now. Thanks for the input guys

Did you try a factory reset with philz recovery ? Technically that should format cache and data with a compatible filesystem

Ah thats not good,i suppose you dont have a Nandroid either? i suggest you do a nandroid backup right now, format data & cache and try rebooting. If it still doesnt work , your /System partition may be corrupt. best to go with the above mentioned post by klebengan which would return you back to stock.
Mind you, in both cases you would lose your data. so do a nandroid right now, atleast wou would have a chance to extract important data later once you are up and running again.
BTW, This is the wrong place for this thread, it should be in Q & A and i m pretty sure there would be similar or related posts

ok, thanks for the tip but I tried to even follow the Klebengan post but the main problem is that I am not even able to go to the download mode with the volume key up and Plugin in the usb cable.
I have the flash tool and the kdz file but as i said I am not able to go to the download mode so I am not able to use the LG flash tool also.
If somebody can help me with the steps of transfering the zip file in to the phone memory I can atleast try to install the custom rom once the phone goes on and starts than I may try to flash with the kdz file.
pls help
