[Q] Urgent Help! Phone stuck on boot up google gears spinning.. - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Alright so heres the deal.
1.Wanted to flash ONE5MOD new ICS rom.
2.So i followed instructions to the T! but later my dumbass read through the discussion and read its not working with ClockworkMOD Touch Recovery
3. Been stuck on hanging goggle sign ever since
Anyone have advice on what I should do from here?

Remove battery, put it back in then reboot into recovery by pressing the volume keys and power button at the same time. Once in recovery try re flashing the rom or restore one of your backups.

Dont know what to do, can some one please help i really need help. Please./

At the exclamation screen press volume up and down. Sounds like your cwr is gone and you will go into stock recovery?
Not sure if that will work.
Also maybe try pulling battery and then with battery out press volume up and down then put battery back in.

I cant see the video but you lost the cwm recovery.Pull the battery out and then place it again.Hit the middle of volume buttons and power.You are going to be in bootloader.With volume up go to option Recovery mode and select it with the power.Your phone after google logo is going to android with the exclamation mark(stock 3e recovery).Hold power button and then volume up and you ll see the options in stock recovery.Select the wipe data/factory reset and then reboot your phone.
Post back the result
ps you must start phone setup from scratch.I dont thibk that just wipe cache is going to solve your problem

Thank You.
Hey guys, I had the same issue on my GNex when on ICS. I tried this method and it got solved. Later I updated to JB and again Bluetooth caused a bootloop, again did this method and the problem got solved.
This is getting really annoying now. How can I permanently avoid these bootloops as each time my ENTIRE data gets deleted. Please help me.

Bad flash...Hboot but no use of volume keys..

Flashed BlackIce from a bad link and was stuck with a black screen. Im able to get to the Hboot menu but once there the volume keys do not work. Hit the power button and given option to install splash and volume keys work for that choice but not much help...
How do I fix this mess without being able to get into recovery but with the use of my laptop?
Kind of heated since this is the first fudged download Ive had in a year....
TIA
Try ruu flash.

hboot / bootloader <-- cant get there

Just got my s2 a couple days ago. went ahead and rooted it, threw on a Jedi Knight. I wound up switching recoveries to twrp as well. i like to flash roms alot till i find what i like best (dont we all). I wanted to try pa 2.52 but was unable to get it to bootup so I restored Jedi Knight.. I hit up the pa thread and people mentioned formatting internal storage. So I did that, and managed to get pa 2.52 on without any problems.. In the reboot options bootloader is not there.. So I started with my battery pull options to get there and nothing seems to be working..
some battery pull scenarios:
volume + & power = 1 vibe, samsung logo, let go >> boot back to rom. If I hold past 1 vibe, more continous vibes and no boot up at all
volume - & power = same as above
volume +- & power = 1vibe, samsung logo, let go >> recovery. If i continue to hold past the logo and then let go >> boot back to rom.
I'm trying to get to hboot just so I can see my s-off status & radio versions.. Much thanks..
Boot loader and s-off are for HTC phones not Samsung phones

I can see someone is coming from an HTC phone haha... If you are on the the T989 booting in download is volume down+volume up + power, or recovery mode its volume down + power.
That would be why I am familiar with them.. I left my incredible and got the s2. Is their anything similar to that for us or no? Not that it makes a difference..

Wait...so there is not bootloader
Hello I was attempting to get into my bootloader and I can't. If I am in the phone and press the power button I get the option to reboot if I click that I have the option to reboot into recovery, reboot into bootloader, or just reboot. Why have the option to reboot into bootloader if there isn't one?
I thought I booted into the bootloader to factory rest my SGH-T989 when I purchased it from someone was that not the case? was I booting into some sort of recovery?

Yes, you booted into Download mode which is the mode needed to flash your phone over usb with a tool called odin. In most cases it doesn't wipe the /data or /emmc partitions though so the best thing to do is to use the factory restore in android or your installed recovery.

Humbled, need a little help

So I've had this phone 9 days, unlocked/rooted it a few hours ago and decided to try Cyanogen 10. I used ROM Manager to boot into recovery for the flash and now it's stuck on the splash screen.
I made a full nandroid backup before flashing but can't figure out how to manually get it back into Clockwork's recovery. Volume-down+power brings me to a robot telling me he's downloading something and not to turn off the target. I also made full ADB backups from the Nexus Root Toolkit before the unlock/root if anyone can tell me how to restore that way.
Flame away, I'm never this dude!
Volume up + volume down + power will get up into bootloader then u can select recovery.

What? You can press the Vol Up and Vol Down at the same time now and it registers? The wonders of technology.
Sarcasm off... Thanks, you just saved my ass (recovery successful). Now to figure out why Google didn't tell me that.
There's no problem with you coming to the forums to ask for help, but in the future, please try and post in the appropriate forum. This particular forum is not for general Q&A. I would think you would some better help over there.

Booting into Custom recovery help

I have rooted and unlocked my phone using he tool kit which worked like a charm.
My question now is how to boot into recovery? I have a galaxy nexus and I just hold the power button and down volume and it works fine.
Using TWRP recovery that was installed with the root kit.
With this device, it will just boot into safe mode.
My goal here is to install a custom rom.
Also, I am used to flashing the ROM and Gapps with my Galaxy Nexus , but the instructions or this phone always having something about extracting a zip and flashing it after the gapps. What is this for?
Thanks

You have to zip a ROM, gapps, and then flash the kernel. If you're using the all in one toolkit then all you have to do is press "boot into recovery," otherwise you'll have to power your phone off, go into boot loader by pressing your power and volume down button for a bit then in boot loader scroll down to recovery.I'm not 100% sure about how to work your recovery cause I use cwm. I hope this helps though. Good luck.

When i try to hold down the power button and down volume it will boot into safe ode not recovery.
Regarding flashing the kernels, Do they not come with the rom itself like JB Sourcery and all the roms for the Galaxy Nexus?
I would flash another kernel sometimes, like Franco, but that was optional.
Thanks

I basically just want "vanilla" JB installed .
How can I do this?

no u have to use fastboot to flash kernel boot img and twrp has the option on the main screen to flash zip on it when u get to the main screen it is pretty self explanitory but, to get to recovery using adb just do the command adb reboot recovery in fastboot just replace the adb with fastboot if no p.c. then turn phone of power on and after hiting powerr botton just do power and bottom down and it should take u to bootloader screen
where do I get kernel boot.img? Is that something that comes with the rom like when i flash in my Galaxy Nexus
if I'm not mistaken, this forum is for the HTC One V... maybe the guys in the galaxy nexus forum can help you more?
Please do not post questions in the development sections. Moved to Q&A.
