Would Rerooting help?

So somehow someway my phone is on the "Galaxy S 2 Yellow triangle with exclamation mark" screen and wont boot up.
I simply wiped factory reset, and dalvik ( coming from Caulks Rom ) and then flashed Blazer Rom 3.7 and it never went past that screen.
My question is can i simply re root on my mac and would my phone go back to stock rooted OS? Or do I have to restore it through Odin?
Note I did backup my previous rom!
Sorry forgot to mention I cant access recovery either! I hold down volume up and power and nothing just stays on the yellow triangle screen...

Get calks format all ...flash it and then go to advanced and wipe system and then flash new ROM .... If it still doesn't work check md5 on the ROM that it's a good download if it's not redownload and flash ....you can always restore your back up

Can you get into download mode? If so Odin a ROM, then restore your old Nandroid.

I would definitely recommend going this route. Follow the instructions in this thread it will help you to install ACS (CWM) Recovery.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1268037

for future reference recovery is volume Up + power. not down.

From the sounds of it id say you may need to flash more than the kernal I was in a similar situation where my recovery wouldnt work and I couldnt boot into the rom and I had to flash back to stock through Odin to get it working again. Then after that I re rooted and flashed a rom.

Im not sure, when it happened to me there wasnt a way. Its really simple though I mean when I did it I was back up and running, rerooted, and running a rom in about 10 minutes if that.
This is the file you would need to flash the stock tar file http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1409634 this is what I used then after I just re rooted.

Yes that guide is for rooting but you can flash ROM's with Heimdall too. Just do a Google search for it and you'll see. Either that or find yourself a windows box and ODIN a rooted ROM with clockwork recovery and then restore your backup.

Oh well, its not that big of a deal, and, eventually, once all these "leaked" roms are finished, and we have a "release" version, I am sure someone will figure out a way to get rid of it again..

It isn't the newer roms, it is the newer bootloader.
If you use the fb17 odin one-click in my sig you won't have that issue.

thanks for this man, I have a perfect cm9 a3.1 setup now, so I would hate to dump that right now..
Since I am an all osx house, can i just download mobile odin pro, and load it up into that and flash it, once I decide to take this plunge, or, is it smarted to follow the osx/heimndall instructions?
I guess your answer depends on whether or not you are a osx guy, or widows guy.

The E4GT Mobile Odin Thread

I hope hoping to get some discussion going regarding Mobile Odin and how it's working for people on our device.
So far, I've exclusively used it to flash kernels, but has anyone successfully flashed a full TAR with it yet? More specifically, has that full TAR also flashed your modem? I tried flashing a modem.bin file last night using MO, and while it went through the whole process in a way that appeared to be normal, upon reboot baseband was unchanged. I've read about others experiencing the same thing.
According to Chainfire regarding the modem.bin issue ...
Chainfire said:
This maybe a problem specific to CDMA devices... I'm not sure yet though.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I also read about some kernel panic mode reports when trying to use MO to flash the latest FC05 TAR.
So if you've used Mobile Odin, please share your successes and or failures. It's obviously a great tool but I'd like to identify where it's working and where it may not, for our device specifically.

I have used it going from ics back to GB ....but have only been flashing eg30 stock tar and then el26 cwm kernel .....then I boot into recovery and flash cm 7 if going to aokp or whatever ....I have tried fc05 & fb27 modem and they don't work it goes to like it is flashing it but finishes real quick like 10 seconds .... And normal Odin takes like a minute or more to flash modem...
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

I have been using to flash kernels and modems up until FC05. For some reason it will no longer flash modems, like said, it goes through the motions.
Ah, just remembered, used it to flash 27 tar, whole ROM. Flashed modem/kernel/system no issues. Even used it to open that .tar and just flash the modem or kernel once or twice.

The only thing that scares me about MOdin is getting a force close during a flash and hosing my phone.

I don't think that's possible. It seems to get the files ready then actually does the flashing on the reboot, as some kind of preboot flash function. When I flash a modem for example, upon reboot a Mobile Odin screen comes up and does stuff then the phone's OS boots.

Hmmm. So it sounds like you can flash a modem as a piece out of a TAR image, but not from a modem.bin file. I've tried the modem.bins for EL29, FC21 and FC27 all with the same result, which is no change.

You can pick parts out of a .tar.
I've had no luck with .bin files either.

Could you link to the pre-rooted EG30 Tar you have? I downloaded this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20089082#post20089082
and not sure if its pre-rooted. So when I flashed it via Mobile Odin I played it safe and just manually re-rooted via my Mac. I should have just checked to see if it was, but it didn't hit me at the time that a simple terminal command would confirm.

It would be nice to learn how to package things up to flash with mo and avoid recovery all together. Not even sure where to begin on that one.

Indeed, but you need to be EXTREMELY careful, like even more so than you do when modifying a .zip file.
.md5, .tar, etc. -- those are risky business to tamper with, unless you can repackage it and sign it correctly after adjusting, removing, and what have you.

Have you tried to get back into download mode? If you can then I'd suggest using Sfhub's one-click EL29.
Hopefully someone with more knowledge will chime in to help out.

In CWM recovery you can mount the internal or external memory so you can put a different ROM/kernel and flash it right in recovery. But still as Eso said it's best to get into download mode and use Odin

Not sure what you did and how you did it. Need more details. A lot more details. But if you can get to download mode (hold the power button + volume down till the boot screen shows), I'd follow Esoteric68's advice and use the one-click EL29 here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1433101 or try the EL26 here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1623684. Make sure you use the 'Full Reset' options.

This one. I had the same experience and was able to go DL mode. Download the one-click odin rom from sfhub's thread (having kenel included one) and flash it.

All he did was flash the El26 CWM kernel we all use in ICS to flash from Rom to Rom, he is safe on where he is at.
The reason he gets boot loops is because it's a GB kernel and not an ICS kernel. The GT-I9000 is normal when using this file and happens to everyone right now when they use it.
He can flash a new Rom and such from where he is at, or if he wants to keep his current Rom he has to find an ICS kernel to flash through CWM that he has.

yp yup. its doing the same thing as musclehead. says its flashing but afterwards just goes back to the homescreen.

its doing the same thing to me. im not sure if it matters but i did notice when i had superSU installed it wouldnt work but it was doing something different. after i uninstalled superSU and updated the binarny for the regular superuser.apk app it seemed to do an extra step that i dint notice it wasnt doing on prior tries. so if any of u are using superSU then uninstall it and see what i mean. maybe that can help us fig it out. cause i did notice at the bottom of superSU it says something about "injecting superSU"...sorry if my wording on that was confusing.

I noticed when I am using it to replace a stock kernel it doesn't reboot, but it does install kernel I wanted. I just manually reboot.

This may not be not be helpful,
The same was happening to me but it was with modems, and it was several builds ago. I was stuck with FD19 (not a complaint, seeing as how that's the best modem for me so far)
It definitely is not an overall Mobile Odin thing, for me... when I couldn't install a new modem it wouldn't do it from the unlocked stock recovery either. It would SAY that it was. So I was thinking that it was a kernel issue.. Doesn't Mobile Odin make himself a copy of your current kernel to use a "flash kernel?'
Also, are you using "open file" with a .tar or are you placing the zImage directly in the kernel slot? I have noticed varying results when I do it differently.
As a temporary solution, download "Hc-kTool" from the market.
This app is also a must have. You can dump your current kernel, flash zImages, install update.tar packets with a zImage, modem.bin, and param.lfs, backup and restore EFS...
Just until MoOd is up and running for you this should hold you over.

I tried out FE10 (Sfhub) the other day, and tried to mobile Odin back to EL29 and it wouldn't work. I'm guessing its the same scenario as you're having on FE16. Everything works as normal, and then right after it says "flashing kernel", it just does nothing instead of rebooting and flashing like it should.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2

I've noticed on some of the TW based roms when I would flash a kernel with mobile odin it just doesnt reboot the phone after flashing. I would then reboot into recovery and the kernel I had flashed would be there.

Try going into developers settings uncheck usb debugging it was doing the same thing for me and reboot.

Sometimes I'd flash a kernel threw mobile Odin. And it wouldn't do the reboot at first I thought it didn't work. And would do it over again but one day I I checked to see if the kernel was flashed regardless and it was good to go. Plus it still happens here and there and every time kernel still flashes great. :what:

Weird, I've always had HC-kTool as the name, oh well, it's a great app, by any name.
Also; I had the moble odin doing nothing issue, after you tell him what to do and he does nothing just immediately boot into recovery and he'll go about his business.

mobile odin fail
been flashing roms ok and kernals fine can't get the modems to change after flashing.

This may not be not be helpful,
The same was happening to me but it was with modems, and it was several builds ago. I was stuck with FD19 (not a complaint, seeing as how that's the best modem for me so far)
It definitely is not an overall Mobile Odin thing, for me... when I couldn't install a new modem it wouldn't do it from the unlocked stock recovery either. It would SAY that it was. So I was thinking that it was a kernel issue.. Doesn't Mobile Odin make himself a copy of your current kernel to use a "flash kernel?'
Also, are you using "open file" with a .tar or are you placing the zImage directly in the kernel slot? I have noticed varying results when I do it differently.

This app is also a must have. You can dump your current kernel, flash zImages, install update.tar packets with a zImage, modem.bin, and param.lfs, backup and restore EFS...
Just until MoOd is up and running for you this should hold you over.

It's a known fact that Mobile Odin does not flash cdma modems. They need to either be flashed via recovery or through the use of desktop Odin.

Ha! Known to you maybe, I never looked into it

I've noticed on some of the TW based roms when I would flash a kernel with mobile odin it just doesnt reboot the phone after flashing. I would then reboot into recovery and the kernel I had flashed would be there.

Just curious, but can you please advise how you verify that your kernel installed when booted into recovery? I am able to tell what recovery I have installed but not sure how to verify the kernel when only in recovery

Mobile Odin cannot flash modems at all.
