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.

Oh, you didn't know how to get into CWM.... Also, if someone helps you push his thanks button.

How to go back to stock?

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.

T-mobile Samsung Galaxy S2 / CM9 Stuck at boot screen

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.

[Q] Why does a battery pull kill my stock rooted 4.1.2 SGH-T989 UVMC6 ???? [SOLVED]

If you are running stock rooted 4.1.2 UVMC6 on a SGH-t989, pull out your battery while the phone is on. Now, can you get past the 4G screen? If you can, is everything now FC on you?
This is frustrating. It seems all runs SO PERFECTLY. Until I pull my battery on the stock rooted 4.1.2. Then my phone will not boot or will not boot properly.
Anyone else have this?
*edit* Jamison's Infamous CACHE wipe fixed it. I ran the cache wipe script under TWRP. The phone rebooted itself. I waited a few minutes and it worked!!!
Get the script here!

I'll try this next time. I'm tired of restoring my phone just to have it randomly die. A few days later.
This time I restored with the stock rooted deodexed rom and not ODIN. Maybe it'll keep working...
Funny thing though. The ODIN stock for SGH-t989 works GREAT (minus one wierd FC ridden boot that fixed itself) on my wife's SGH-i727 Skyrocket. WiFi calling and all.

Why are do doing a battery pull? You can't power off normally? If the phone is freezing just hold the power button in for about ten seconds, and it will do a reboot no matter what it's frozen on. Then when it reboots you can do a normal reboot or power off.

Been having the same issues, sometimes it fixes it self. ill have to try the superwipe next time i have an issue.

Just hold the power button and wait for it to restart, it should work fine

Thats where it runs into problems. I get to the 4G screen and 99% on the loading bar. Then it just stays there no matter what. Battery pull. Power button reset. Nothing. Oh well. I installed the stock rooted rom and now do frequent nand backups. Haven't had a problem so far... I've tucked the cache wipe script on my sd card just in case...

It takes time to boot sometimes. I've waited around 10 - 15 minutes for it to get past the loading screen. I don't know if it's device related or update related but either way just give it some time your next go

I fought through this problem too. Tried multiple recoverys and ROMs.
Superwipe/cachewiped using twrp - boots perfectly...

Phone will not wipe data, keeps rebooting

Hi everyone, I just made a huge mistake on my phone, I was trying to restore a NAND backup and forgot to do a factory reset before I did that. Now my phone freezes at the samsung logo, and when I get into the cwm screen I cannot wipe data because it reboots whenever I try to do that. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks !

Follow this. http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2618447 .
I followed sections all sections 1 threw 3. At section 2 the link for the I317UCUBMK6-TZ-PARAM.zip did not work. I used this link instead.
http://www56.zippyshare.com/v/16559598/file.html
At section 3 don't be alarmed when it says it's downloading the update but it doesn't show percentages. It is downloading. In fact for me it automatically downloaded the 4.4.2 update instead of 4.3. It skipped it and went straight to kitkat. It took some time but I have Official KItkat 4.4.2.
Hit Thanks
