Please help!!! Phone keeps restarting

I'm new to this phone stuff and I tried downloading Valhalla v1.3 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1203591 from recovery mode and my phone rebooted, and now it keeps restarting over and over. I have access to download and recovery mode only. I don't know any ROM or flash business so please help.
I just realized that i tried to download a galaxy 4g theme on my tmobile galaxy s2

if you did a nand back up and your able to go to the recovery mode flash your back up image in other terms if you backed up your rom do a restore.

if its still booting u have a chance to save it

boot into recovery, plug your phone in with your usb cable to your computer, under recovery go to mounts and storage, select mount usb storage, once your compter detects it, drag and drop the rom to the root of your sd, go back disconect the phone, go advance reboot recovery, and now wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, dalvik, install zip from sd card and select the rom
hope that little tutorial helped, im half asleep, 3:45 am

My sdcard's memory is too low lol. But got one coming in with 8 gb. So i'll try it with that.
Can you tell me the difference between a brick and boot loop?

A brick does nothing, just lies there ...
Bootloop starts to boot then restarts , hence the loop part ...
When you say your SD card memory is low, you mean your external SD?? Why not delete something to get the rom on it ... Should be able to put it in a PC and remove something , if you are talking about your external ...
IF you can get to download mode, find the Stock ODIN flash for t989, and follow the directions, ODIN does not care how full your SD card is ...

Ahh, ok. Then yeah, I'm in a boot loop . It's only a 120 mb external SD. Even the stock ROM won't fit there lol.

IMHO Odin back to stock is your best option , then you have a clean start ...
Just make sure you ONLY flash ROMs for the t989(or skyrocket if you are brave) ...

This was like 5+ years ago haha.

Not turning on!

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

[Q] sd card Swap failed :/

I use cm10 alpha 7 , when I swap sd card by changing vold.stab I get unfortunately android.process.media stopped and I tried to open storage in settings then I get settings stopped . Possible solution ? :/ Sorry for bad english

Did you set the permissions correctly? Or did you sure the value in vold.fstab are done correctly?
Sent from my HTC Sensation using Xparent Green Tapatalk 2

as long as ur editing the vold.fstab file not copying a replacement then permissions won't change
just make sure that u only change the "1" with "0" and vice versa , don't change anythn else, then save then reboot
If u prefer just flashing a zip then u can find a link for it in another question thread i guess

Try flashing zip files from here instead http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1994688

hi, Yes, I did that reinstall the same rom and flash the zip file. I had also tried a few different ROM with the same repeated flashing & keep getting the same result. At one point, I had also waited for 30 minutes thinking maybe I should have waited a bit longer.

That's very strange, okey lets take it step by step:
What recovery are you using?
Before attempting to swap your sdcard, does the rom worked porperly?

CWM 6.0.2.3 ..and yes, it working..because I was able to re-install the ROM zip so I can get back the system.
During the installing of the swap sdcard zip file. I did not see any error message as well.
I had flashed SWAP ICS Version: Android 4.0.x on the S3 ROM by ipromeh..

okey then i guess the only thing you can do is try again. try this, i know you know how to flash but just try it:
1) wipe data/factory reset, wipe dalvik, wipe system, wipe cache
2) reboot to recovery
3) redo step 1
4) reboot to recovery
5) flash rom, flash gapps
6) boot rom
7) reboot rom
8) install es file manager (you may download it from play store)
9) start es file manager, enable root browsing, and edit /system/etc/vold.stab like in the attached picture
10) reboot
try and lets see

Hi. I had used manual editing on the /system/etc/bold.fstab
Screenshot attached.
Reboot into recovery and wipe the cache ..the reboot system. This time no Boot loop but sdcards are not changing. Please see the second screenshot.

that's really strange. it should change after reboot even without wipe.
anyone experienced this? or does anyone have any idea how to resolve this?

Copy the ROM in ur MicroSD
Go to CWM Recovery
Format all clean (except where the ROM is stored)
Wipe Data N Cache etc
Wipe Delvik
Flash as usual
..Just to ensure no unwanted bit n pieces is left behind :highfive:

You mean you cant see ur Micro SD it should be read as folder EMCC (something like that)
As long as the W can boot to Samsung logo it is just soft-bricked
One more solution in CWM mount everything and try to re-flash the ROM

Relax ... And be patient
First you don't know how to choose your ext SD in recovery that's all.
Before first .. This thread must be in Q&A section
Second
Go into recovery
Then choose install from SD card ..
Then search for this word External SD .. Choose it

Which recovery are you using? You don't have to be rooted to flash a ROM. Try re-downloading the ROM and install it again.

When you say you can't access the SD card, do you mean when you hook your phone up to the computer? Even when you go into TWRP mounts and storage and press mount USB storage? If you can't do that you are going to have to Odin flash the stock firmware with your PC.
