wait to get into clockwork mod its up and down arrows and power button then when it says samsung let go power button but keep holding up and down arrows until clockwork turns on.
once in clockwork factory reset wipe cache and reflash a different rom. if needed dload and new rom and load into clock work it usng mount usb option under advanced to put the rom on your phone then flash it. if you cant get into clockwork go to this guide to use odin to flash back a stock rom and start over.

I'm flashing a new ROM on my wife's Dinc, and I go into recovery mode through ROM manager and when I try to do anything, I only get the ROM manager logo in the center of the screen. I can back up to the main menu, but in order to reboot the phone I have to pull the battery. I would just flash the ROM through ROM manager, but I need to flash the ROM, and the gapps also. I don't think it will let me do both, plus I like to wipe everything myself before I flash. Any idea why this is happening?
Thanks in advance.

Okay...forgive me. I found the solution. I've never had a track ball phone before and was trying to use the power button to select.

I was running darkside evo 2 and wanted to go back to stock to flash his new rom. I followed the directions HERE. Once the phone odin's back to stock, I get a bunch of force closes and cannot get past the android screen. I tried going into recovery to wipe data, cache, dalvik per the instructions but I cannot select any of the options. WHen I press the power button it does not do anything. help!!!!!!
You need to wipe your phone completely clean before you proceed to use Odin to flash...
At this point I'd do a factory data reset clear everything.. old info is your foe.
Edit: try try again in the recovery
What can you do on your phone?
Did you flash CWM recovery yet

1Flash dark sides full wipe.
2Go into your setting do a factory reset.
3 run Odin and flash the stock file.
4 (just in case) once back to stock run an extra factory reset and wipe all files.
This works for me and makes sure it deletes all older files.

So this is my first time posting so im a pretty big noob at this, but here it goes. I have a T-mobile Galaxy s2 that i rooted a few months ago. Today CM9 released the stable version, which is what Ive been waiting for so i decided to try it out. (again, Ive never flashed a rom before I only used the stock one) I followed all the steps to do it and now its been at the boot screen for over an hour. The instructions said be patient, but I feel that over an hour is too long. I decided to pull the battery, hoping I could go into recovery mode and do a factory reset. When I try to go into recovery mode it vibrates a couple times but doesn't go into recovery mode. I can't go into download mode either. Does anyone have any idea for what I can do to at least do a factory reset? Thank you in advance for the help.
Edit* After going into recovery, I tried a factory reset but its still trying to boot into CM9. Why is it doing that?
When factory reset it doesn't go back to stock rom .
How are you flashing the rom?

Actually, for some reason recovery was being really strange. I had to hold down the power and the volume buttons 3 times for it to go to recovery, then I restored an older backup that was on my memory card and it took a while then finally worked
Do you by chance know why it didn't work?
I've been getting this same problem. I can get back to recovery and recover from my backup just fine, but every time I try to get CM9 working, it won't go past the boot screen, even after about an hour of waiting.
I've tried the CM9 hercules stable release off the CyanogenMod website and the CM9 RC2 download through ROM Manager, I've tried installing through ROM Manager and straight from booting into recovery, and I've tried putting the zip on both external and internal storage just in case that might conceivably affect something. I have the same problem every time. I'm using CWM 5.0.2.7 and currently on rooted stock.
Any ideas on how I might get this rom working?
You need Darkside super and cache wipes, which are both available in a sticky with an obvious title in the development section of the forum.

What he said. Non touch clockwork mod for this phone has a broken cache wipe function. Will cause infinite boot. Flash tdjs cache wipe NOT THE SUPER WIPE. and you should be golden.

I flashed the CWM and I was able to go into recovery and flash the liquid rom. And now it doesnt turn on or even vibrate when I try to power it on. Nothing on the screen. And when i plug it into the computer a message asking me to format the Drive. And screen doesnt turn on or show the charging indicator when I try to charge it.

I installed CWM with odin and I was able to boot into CWM recovery I wiped data and cache then install LIQUIDSMOOTH rom then latest gapps and restart.Nothing shows up on the screen and no vibration or anything.
I got the phone for about 8 months. Should I send it in to Samsung or try one of those jtag repair service. Their description says they can repair hard brick devices. Has anyone tried it and are they reliable?
if you have CWMR installed you should be able to just turn off your device and turn it on hold both volume up and down once the CWMR comes up take your fingers off the volume buttons.
EDIT: if you can access the CWMR find the proper ROM for your device put in a SDcard and put the SDcard in your phone and boot up CWMR and install from zip from sdcard following this to install it correctly.
I normally do...
Wipe Data/Factory reset
Wipe cache partition
install zip from sdcard
go to Advanced
Wipe dalvik cache
Wipe battery status
Fix permissions (just incase)
Reboot Device
wait about usually 3-8 minutes depends on the ROM. if it's longer then that then your stuck in a boot loop
this is all on done on CWMR v6.0.1.5
Same thing happen to me. Now my phone won't turn on
I'm absolutely confused with how to root my SGH-T999 properly. I know I'm suppose to use the search function and read everything and anything before I post a thread, but I'm seriously overwhelmed with what's what.
So far, I'm trying to follow this guide, but when I go check the md5, it says it's not a match between the file I downloaded and the md5 # on the download page. I figured that since my phone is 4.1.1, I should use this image, but again, I try to check the md5 sums, but it comes out as not a match.
So I'm super paranoid that I might mess something up and brick my phone.
I'm betting you checked the md5 after extracting it. The md5 on the download page is for the file exactly as you downloaded it.
You don't have to worry about an update 'path'. You can get the latest and flash it as per the instructions.

Oh thank god. Yeah, I was checking the extracted file. Thanks for clearing that up.
One more question: Let's say I want to use CyanogenMod 10. Once I've rooted my phone with this method, I could get ClockworkMod recovery (via ROM Manager from the app store) and download the CM10 mod and install the CM10 that way?

Yes. Make sure you follow all the flashing instructions from the thread. You could also install goo manager and install TWRP and find roms through there as well

Yeah, you can use TWRP or CWM to flash roms. It's preference. You don't HAVE to have CWM to flash CM10.
I never used TWRP, but I'm absolutely content with CWM. Hasn't failed me once. Don't fix what's not broken, right?

Alright ****. I think I messed something up.
I installed ROM Manager and downloaded CM10. I then went through the options of rebooting it and installing. But now it's stuck at a spinning circle with "CyanogenMod" in the center. I have no idea what to do or how to get out of it. I've tried forcing it to power down by holding down the power button or doing the three button press (volume down, home and power), but either way, it just shuts down, vibrates a little and reboots itself back to the spinning logo screen.
EDIT: Ok so I've pulled the battery and went into recovery mode. Then I "wiped data/factory reset" and I think I got it to work now. It seems to be at the CM10 home screen now

Pull the battery. Once the screen is black. Put the battery back and boot into recovery(Vol up, home, and power).
When you installed CM10, did you factory reset, wipe cache, and dalvik cache?

Yeah. That's exactly what I did. Pulled the battery, put it back in, factory rest and wiped data. I'm not sure about the dalvik cache though. Once I got to the ClockworkMod recovery mode/screen, I just went to the "wipe data/factory reset option"
