I have a serious problem. I have a Samsung Galaxy s II Tmobile for about a year now I have had it rooted since day one with not one problem with it. I mostly have had installed custom roms is all. I Just recently updated to CM10.1 nightlys with no trouble. I thought I would update the custom recovery since its been a while I went from 5.0.2.7 and updated to 6.0.2.8 and this is where everything went wrong. my phone went into a bootloop at first wouldn't load at all I went into recovery restored to a cm 10 which was working before which now is doing a boot loop. and i restored back to 2.3.5 rooted and that worked. but with some serious problems. I can't download anything like from the web or play store at all I keep getting this error code 492. I was thinking ok well I'll just put a fresh copy of cm10.1 back on the phone flashing it through recovery and nothing it froze. I played around with this new recovery and found out that I can't install anything through recovery can't fix permissions won't format won't wipe cache or factory reset and it won't even reboot the phone the only thing i got it to do was restore to 2.3.5. well I thought ok well I'll just start over again by unrooting the phone and start at square one again. no problem as the phone isn't bricked but when I hooked it to the computer now its not recognizing it. it comes up as unknown device which worked yesterday and never had a problem before i tried uninstalling drivers off my computer reinstalling them to no success. however I thought If I somehow get rom manager back on the phone i can reinstall 5.0.2.7 back on which i did come up with the idea to use kies air for that which did work. but I couldn't get back to 5.0.2.7 by doing that does anybody have any suggestions that can help me out my phone is working i can do everything that it is suppose to do make call connect to the mobile web, wifi but i want back on my custom rom can anybody help thanks

Hello, sorry for creating a 'HELP I don't know what to do!' thread, but I really am stuck now.
I had some Adrenaline rom for quite a while but today I decided to go back to stock because I was having some minor problems.
I suppose flashing stock went okay. I've got the stock recovery now, but the phone loops on boot. With the help of this thread I've figured this is because the previous rom (probably) used ext4 whereas stock needs rfs. That guy got it working by going through adb doing something that I can't even get to because adb doesn't recognize my phone. (I've tried installing drivers for adb but Windows doesn't want to use them because it thinks its own drivers are superior, even though I've uninstalled these, it keeps reinstalling them)
I also can't get CWM working. I've run the root update.zip and that seemed to go fine, but when installing CWM the screen just freezes and the phone reboots when pressing the home button.
I'm kind of stuck on how to revive my gio, any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Edit: SOLVED, thread may be deleted. Went to try flashing CWM through odin (ext4+rfs) and during the reboot phase my phone suddenly booted into the android OS.
Hi everyone,
today I woke up and as usual i turned on my Gnex GSM (that has TWRP 2.8.0.0 and PA 4.6 beta 3 release1) and after a few minutes it started rebooting. i tried to remove battery at first but nothing happened; every time I put in the battery it starts, ask me for PIN, seems everything ok but reboots again.
I tried to enter in recovery mode to do a factory reset and even if TWRP says successful wipe nothing happens because when i reboot everything is like before. Itried to change recovery from TWRP to CWM but I can't even do that it "stucks" with TWRP. Fortunately I made a backup recently so I don't mind losing everything but if everyone has a solution please tell me because I don't know what to do!!
Another thing that compared in the log of TWRP during wipes was some strange ( for me, I'm not a developer) errors like "E: enable to stat '/data/media/.....'
If anyone can help I'll appreciate a lot!!! :laugh::laugh::laugh:
Thanks all!!
Same thing happened to me too....
Everything was working butter smooth when **** hit the fan.
I own GSM Gnex, rooted with stock 4.3 with Xposed installed. Custom recovery was TWRP
One fine day I was sitting with a friend in an restaurant when my phone suddenly started rebooting after reaching the homescreen. Mind you I can unlock my phone but after a couple of seconds, it would reboot
For two days, I did everything I could, used Wugs NRT, did a factory reset using TWRP, used ODIN, Flashed stock using toolkit and did that again manually using ADB. Nothing happened.
It says 'successful' when I flash using NRT, but nothing really changes and it freezes halfway while using ODIN and 'FAIL' error shows up.
After two days, I gave it to the shop from where I bought the device and its fourth day today but he still isnt able to repair my phone.
Mind you, I can access TWRP and all the functions, even factory reset but nothing happens.
At first I thought it might be moisture but it wasnt the case. I think it has to be an hardware issue
Hi there,
I've been trying to fix this issue for a while now and I haven't seen any guides on my particular issue.
Basically what's going on is I tried doing a factory reset on the phone while having cyanogenmod flashed and when it booted, it would keep booting up in the recovery.
There seem to be no backups or roms on the phone.
Now here's the kicker, when I try using the Nexus root toolkit, it doesn't recognize my device whatsoever. I've uninstalled the drivers fully and reinstalled them and still nothing.
When I plug the phone in, it doesn't show up as an external source (other than in the device manager with a "!" by 'galaxy nexus'), so I can't just put a ROM on there and try flashing that.
I'm stuck. I have no idea what I can do to get this back up & running.
It's a GSM phone, being from Canada I believe it to be Yakju...
Anybody have any ideas? I really need this phone to start working!!
Have you tried the method in this tutorial?
you may bring ti back to samsung customer service.
Ok so i will try and explain step by step what is the matter here.... Since i have been trying to fix my Note 2 since 2 weeks now and i got nowhere.
I was running 4.4.2 and i had TWRP on it but it wasnt Rooted. (Bought it like that) Had some custom Rom on it etc...
Used it for 2 months with no problems whatsoever,decided to root and went on installing AGNI Kernel for better audio (Eargasm ON). Everything worked as a dream for 4-5 days...was enjoying the crazy sound. Till one morning i woke up,received a call and i had to swap my sim cards,after i did this i had Emergency calls only on screen. BAFFLED !! Went on factory restoring the phone,still Emergency calls only on screen. JUST LIKE THAT !! All of a sudden,with no reason at all !! o.0
Anyway,after that i tried again factory restore and wipe cache and something else from TWRP i think it was a FULL DELETE or something like that,including System and all... so i can install a new fresh ROM on it (As i thought it`s the ROM). Well that didnt went well for me,as the phone got stuck into Samsung bootloop. AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN !!!
I gave up on TWRP and connected it to the laptop so i can use ODIN and flash stock ROM. Worked !! It went pass the Samsung boot,i set it up,still had the same `Emergency calls only` error,BUT THEN as soon as i unplugged my usb cable from it,BOOM !! Phone restarts itself,and gets stuck on Samsung boot. I connected the charger,works fine. Stays in menu,apps work,etc. As soon as i unplug the charger or the usb cable,it kept on restarting itself and going into Samsung Bootloop.
Went on different threads,tried a lot of ROMS and Kernels,nothing worked,so i gave up and BOUGHT A NEW BATTERY.
With the new battery,phone worked ok,no more bootloops,but still the same `Emergency calls only` issue.
Tried installing the modem fix with twrp,phone got stuck on samsung boot,tried installing nb4_N7100_Patched Modem_CWM with philz_touch_6.46.3-n7100 phone got stuck on samsung boot.
Then tried installing back the Android that Worked as a dream before (TWRP-Android Revolution HD) but this time i had the philz CWM and guess what,whatever Rom i install with philz,the same Samsung boot comes on.
Right now i tried installing Phoenix ROM,got stuck on bootloop,then cleaned the WHOLE DEVICE by a MEGA WIPE with Zoot's-Wipe-Scripts_SGS_N-II then tried installing again Phoenix Rom with philz,phone still NOPE,stuck on Samsung bootloop.
I am dead !! Please somebody give me some hope here,as i am dying.
I will put back TWRP now,and install again the only ROM that worked for me that is Android Revolution HD and stay with the bloody Emergency Calls Only on screen till somebody will be able to help me out here.... Please guys... i dont know what to do anymore,i am actually loosing my hope,it`s been 2 weeks since i am REALLY REALLY trying to get it back working....i feel i am growing white hair !!
use odin and go back to stock
HERE
there is factory firmware with pit file.
do everything as said in instruction
So I recently learned that there was a CM12 update for my phone, so I downloaded the zip file, Gapps, and a new kernel. I deleted all the cache, delvik cache and all that fun stuff and flashed all the new zips. It finished and I clicked reboot phone and it said "Phone might be un rooted, fix now" Obviously I clicked yes. Waited for it to boot and it froze and started all over again. I finally said I am just going to restore the back up but it would not work. So thinking that maybe I have to get rid of everything in my phone I downloaded Darkside super wipe and ran it. It cleaned everything, flashed CM 1O the old Gapps, and the old kernel I used to have. Still no luck still stuck in a boot loop and not only that after I super wiped now CWM wont work at all. I try a function and it does not do anything. Also my phone wont connect thru odin mode. Any ideas or explanations? Its obviously not bricked cause I can still go into CWM but CWM wont work at all.
