Flashing a rom on my phone, and it's on the loading/rom animation for a hour at least.
Should I do something or just wait it out?
Are you talking about flashing the rom or restarting phone after flashing a rom?

Restarting the phone after flash depends from rom to rom. Anyways the general idea about how much time it takes will be around the same time when you had first started your phone i.e when you had purchased it. The time taken after first boot is same as that of when you have flashed a fresh rom. Hope you get it since my English isnt that great.
Btw it wont take an hour XD

You did something wrong. Are you coming to aokp from a touchwiz rom?

Usually it doesn't take more than 5 to 10 minutes to boot after a rom flash. Those are the longest times I have experienced with my phones. It usually takes 3 minutes or less for me.
Stock rooted Sammy rom. I did read the op, and followed the procedure.
I just fixed it with the other procedure some people have mentioned.
factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, format data
flash again, reboot straight back into recovery
factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik
Phone booted up in about 30 seconds after that.:good:

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.

Pardon me if an answer has already been posted, but I could not find a thread related to the Galaxy S2. Is there a method to downgrade from Jellybean to Ice Cream Sandwich?
I have a rooted phone if that makes any difference.
Do you have a recovery? A rom to flash? Its no too hard

Flash an ICS ROM. Be sure to do a clean install. Wipe data, system, cache and dalvik cache. You can flash between as many ROMS as you wish, between ICS,JB or even GB in no particular. Flash away buddy!

I did a clean install. I flashed the same ICS ROM twice because both times it would get stuck on a loading screen. The screen where the bar fills up, but did not complete loading. It gets stuck at the last 1% or so.

Try redownloading on your PC, transfer to your SD card, try another clean flash. What ROM are you trying to flash?

Try this. Right after you install the rom stay in recovery and wipe the factory data only... I had this same problem and it works everytime.

I did both of these and it worked. I don't know if the combination of both or one or the other was the solution. Haha. Anyway, thanks so much for your help.
I been flashing roms for a year now and the only time I was on stock is when my phone was new. But I hear other ppl say it's best to flash to stock via odin before installing a custom rom. I don't see a difference.
Your still flashing even if it's going to stock right?
Please tell me your opinion on the matter.
I do from time to time but every time is a bit overkill and how little I trust Odin plays into that as well.

Agreed.
If you format /system when switching roms, you're removing the OS anyways, thus allowing for a completely clean install
Actually, with the stock roms we have available, its a waste of time to flash stock between ROM flashes. LG1 (att) is the only one that actually does a full wipe. Problem is it also wipes your internal sd when you flash it. So even if you flashed DK3, for example, you would still have to do a factory reset from recovery if/when you bootloop. These no wipe packages are the reason so many ppl bootloop after flashing stock.

I just use a complete wipe script and flash that way. Takes 5 seconds and I never have a bad flash. 2 years without a single boot loop or bad flash
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
Those are good to use. On my old htc I had 4ext recovery and it had a button to wipe everything except your sd card. I miss that recovery.

Those wipe scripts are great. Half the problems in q&a wouldn't exist if they were used more often
I was wondering how in the hell do i get updated to all the new updates and such.
Currently i'm rooted with Twrp 2.3.1.0, i used the toolkit back some time ago and game me the option to basically install custom roms and such but never did anything except for a kernel.
So my question is Im still on LJC, 4.1.1, and i'm sick of the pop ups for the install update, and i know its going to fail so i'd figure can i just install a custom rom and it will take care of all that crap like for instance just go ahead and start fresh and install CyanogenMod?

That could be an option if you're looking to move over to AOSP but if you wanted to stick with TW you could always just flash a ROM based off stock 4.1.2, MA7 or MC2.

When you say CM 10 I'm assuming you're referring to CM 10.1? If so make sure your using the correct gapps and if you still face issues I suggest redownloading the ROM and gapps through Goomanager, make sure the MD5 match up, and then fully wipe and flash again. Keep me updated.

Ok I see what you're doing. My brother had a similar problem and there seems to be something wrong with the kernel script not running through properly and to fix this you will need to perform a factory reset as the OP instructs BUT I would try it twice. Once before the flash and another after the flash. Try it and if that doesn't work try the same steps with a 3rd party kernel. Flashing a kernel after the ROM is not recommended but if it helps to boot up the phone then you'll know it was the stock kernel. Let me know

Does it bootloop...or have you just been impatient? 1st boots of a new ROM can take a while.
Presuming it is stuck at boot splash...either an unstable build, or a corrupt download are possible. Verify the MD5 of your downloads.

Every device handles things differently, including first boot up times. It can take anywhere from 5-10min. So don't worry about how short Josh's boot up time was in his video. I highly suggest you:
1) Wipe system, data, cache/dalvik 3x
2) flash ROM and Gapps
3) Go back and perform a "factory reset" 3x
4) Reboot
5) Let phone sit at most 15min.
Just do this one final time exactly as instructed and assuming you've tried earlier nighties, if it doesn't boot up by 15 min then you'll know it's the phone and NOT you.

correct yeah because i restored so i can atleast use my phone to try to fix it using toolkit
EDIT: Hooray i finally got it that did the trick this time. however basband is still LJC but is 4.2.2 because i went through setup this time and was able to boot up
So I installed Skynote 4.3 Edition RC8-1 Base followed all instructions... phone starts up fine first time but once I reboot to install the update to V8.2 it just sits at the GN 2 Logo the only way to get it to fully reboot is to do a complete re-wipe and flash again. What am I doing wrong? It does not do this with any other ROM. Phone is the AT&T GN 2. PLEASE HELP ME!
Sounds like user error sorry to say.
Imho
I haven't seen or heard anything like this in that thread.:what:
And I've been there since it started...
START over full wipe of everything 3x including INTERNAL storage...
Flash Rom 8.1 base let it sit for 10 minutes. Set it up play store etc.
TRY and reboot to recovery. Wipe C/D cache, flash update 8.2 reboot.
Let it sit again for like 5 mins. Then flash what ever add on's you'll like to add in...
