I have Nightly 4.4.4. KitKat installed on my Galaxy S2 D710. Ive been trying to remove bloatware and unwanted apps. I downloaded Re-Calked 2.2 and flashed it using a good CWM. It flashed successfully but when rebooting its at a new "Samsung Galaxy SII" boot screen ive never seen. The colors are still going on the boot screen but it just never fully boots up.
Please lend me a hand/advice if possible.

Odin stock rooted GB27, let it boot up, Odin Agat 1.4.2f recovery, reflash recalked JB.
The device doesn't play nice when you flash between KK AOSP and JB TW.

I just decided last night to switch from Calkulin to Blazer so I could try it out.
The results were disastrous.
I took my phone, which was running on Rogue Desperado Kernel, EL29 Modem, Calk 2.8.1, and backed up everything. Then I booted into ROGUE recovery, and flashed CALKS FORMAT ALL. This was a success.
Then I flashed BLAZER ROM 3.7. This was a success, according to my little black and green screen.
**HOWEVER, upon reboot I was stuck at SAMSUNG GALAXY S II screen. I waited...and waited...and waited. It never moved past this screen.
Then I tried booting into recovery - no dice. I had to download the Stock EL29 Kernel/Modem/ROM ODIN Full Restore and flash everything back to square one.
Once this was completed, I rooted using the Auto Rooter and took my phone to EL29 with CWM. Then I flashed my Kernel over to the stock EL29 with Rogue Kernel (this is easier to use than stock CWM IMO).
FINALLY, I booted into recovery, flashed CALK FORMAT ALL, then flashed BLAZER ROM 3.7. Now I'm back to the ** from earlier in this post - SAMSUNG GALAXY SII is on the screen, and I can't get past it or boot into recovery.
I'm going to run through the steps again to bring my phone back to stock, but I'd really like to try this ROM out. Does anyone have any ideas?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
With no background information, it sounds like it may have been a bad download. Have you tried downloading another copy of Blazer rom?
The process you described was correct, and sometimes bad downloads lead to infinite splash screens.

OK it looks like you correct. I re-installed Calk 2.8.1 with no issues and did a restore through Titanium. I then got a message saying "download incomplete" of BLAZER ROM. It's odd, because the download went through fine yesterday and the notification cleared before I booted into Recovery to flash everything.
Now I'm trying to re-download the ROM and the link is down with no mirror. Does anyone have a copy saved that they can create a mirror with?

The EXACT same thing happened to me and I did the same as the OP. I followed the instructions, I thought, verbatim. I'm not a newb when it comes to flashing, I've been doing this for years. Stupid me, I flashed a ROM and locked up the phone for a few hours until I got home from work. The only thing that brought it back was Odin to stock and start all over. The only roms that work for me are cal's rooted stocks, his custom roms and strong Steve's Smurf love ROM. Such is life.
was trying to download the new blazer rom and seems the link is broken so will try later.
PhantomHacker is having issues with his host (see quote below), I'm sure he'll have it handled asap. Blazer ROM is awesome, hope you guys enjoy once he gets it back up and running.

Im not sure if you are or not but if you are trying to download the rom from your phone that is the first mistake. I have had allot of bad luck doing it this way. Always download it from the computer and never transfer it through Kies air always use a usb cable. I cannot tell you how much trouble I have run into when trying to download from the phone or transfer roms/themes wireless.
PH's site is back. Download to PC
OK I'm all good. Someone posted a mirror last night for the Blazer Rom (nibrwr notes that PhantomHacker's site is back up today for anyone else trying to download) and I downloaded it on my phone.
rbtrucking - I know you mentioned to always download on PC and transfer, but I've had almost no issues with the downloads direct to the phone. I did all of the Calk install when I first rooted this way, and the Blazer issue was probably my own fault, I must have ended the download before the file finished and then tried to Flash it.
I downloaded the full Blazer Rom on my phone directly yesterday and flashed it in Recovery and it worked fine.
Everything is working perfectly, and I've got it overclocked to 1.35GHZ. Stable as all hell and pulling over 5,000 on Quadrant, whatever the hell that test is good for.
Thanks for the help everyone.
Alright so i've searched google forums, yahoo, bing you name it i've tried. So i'm here today posting my issue.
i've done everything possible and did all of the recommended instructions to installing a rom / flashing
a custom kernel compatible with the rom, so far this is what i did and has happened to me.
E4GT ( Sprint ) on stock rooted GB27 w/ agat's source kernel 1.3.0.
Mobile Odin'd EL26 to flash the FL24 modem ( I wanted to try some AOSP roms and needed Data )
installed ExtendRom's AoCP through DirectBoot EL29 CWM5. ( I used tdunham's x2 jb wipe before i flashed )
The phone booted up all the way, custom recovery from Extends AOCP rom was working fine when i accessed it.
Forgotten to do a PRL / Profile update for the fl24 modem.
so I nandroid back to GB27 rom, updated PRL and profile.
Reflashed AOCP using jb 2x wipe beforehand. and i gotten the buildprop error for SPH-D710 Sprint / D710BST / D710GC01
like flashing it didn't even recognized the phones model number, then at the end goten the Error status ( 7 ) which I know some times
the file is a bad download. But I haven't gotten the buildprop error before.
So i PC Odin'd stock rooted reset data for GB27 and for some reason now it wont let me install AOSP based roms and flash a custom recovery for the rom its built for. I've been flashing Agat's source built gb27 1.3.0 and sxtp's source built with agat recovery 0.5.0.
When ever i flash AOSP its the buildprop error with Status ( 7 ) and im always nandroiding back to stock rooted GB27.
When I try and flash a custom recovery for TW JB GB27 both mobile odin and PC Odin my phone gets stuck at the
Samsung Galaxy II screen ( The very first boot image before the actual boot animation. )
I can PC odin and Mobile odin the EL26CWM5 and EL29's DirectBoot Kernel just fine. But the problem is it can only flash
TW JB roms like its locked to that specific rom for flashing only.
When i flash a few tw jb roms like SGSIV or kobridge's tweaked. The roms built in kernels are not replacing the stock original kernel
like its locked.
So if anyone wants to try and help me troubleshoot my issue, that'd be awesomeness.
This is my current setup for now.
E4GT on update GB27. ( ROOTED )
ROM - Kobridge's DeOdexed Rom.
Modem / Baseband - GB27
Software version - GB27
Kernel - Official Stock GB27 ( Can't install custom or my phone wont even go past the first boot screen )
Thankies for replies.
Go to the modem repository in Android development get the gb27 tar and flash in Odin or mobile Odin, it's not booting because the kernels you said you flashed aren't jellybean kernels.
Edit: last time I used any of the jb tw roms they were keeping the stock kernel. As you probably already know this phone when flashing roms doesn't keep the recovery you were on, it uses what is packed into the kernel.

Stock kernel with custom recovery? Ive been trying to flash agats source kernel n recovery but it
just doesn't seem to want to stay >_<
And the modem / base is already on gb27
Every time you flash a new rom you get the recovery that is with that rom, so after flashing the jb tw roms you will have to Odin or mobile Odin the recovery, in your case you said your wanting agat

That's the issue. Even with the roms that have custom recovery, the stock official will still stick.
Like TBSGIV, It's already using Agat's source, But the Kernel + Recovery is still stock official when I
flash it.
Also I've never had the yellow triangle when i booted up my phone before and the flash counter never has
been ticked when i install recoveries via mobile or PC odin, but it's starting to tick the counter and the yellow triangle only shows
up when I try booting into recovery.
Also I'm trying to look for a kernel + recovery that disables stock recovery flash like how kobridge's rom has it. But I forgot which one
was it.

The ROM has the stock recovery baked in. You are using agat's to flash the ROM but the ROM flashes the stock recovery. That is how it has always been with TW JB ROMs

Thanks for all the help fella's, I got everything working now. I One Clicked back to FI27 ( Unrooted + Wipe Data )
Officially updated each OTA after that and then rooted.
Guess the phone wasn't fully completely wiped and the recovery from all stock / CWM / AGAT / TWRP / Rogue
didn't want to cooperate with me.

To me it looks like it's time for your phone to get a fresh clean start.
Why not Odin flash back to stock firmware and go from there.
Afterwards you can root the phone and flash one of the excellent custom Touchwiz roms.
It's best if before you Odin flash the stock rom to be sure to do a factory reset,
wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache in the phone.
Here is the link to the Samsung Touchwiz Jellybean 4.2.2 MDL M919 stock rom: http://k0nane.info/rom/M919UVUAMDL_M919TMBAMDL_TMB.zip
Good luck!
Actually thought about doing this, I just wish I knew what the problem was

I recently rooted my AT&T Samsung Galaxy S3 running Android 4.3 using odin. I loved the features, I flashed the ROM CyanogenMod and had that working just fine. Until just recently I made the mistake of installing a new ROM. I used ROM manager and decided to go with stratatak7 . Now after doing this, my phone has been downgraded from 4.3 to 4.1.1 and is not running properly and crashes. So I went back into ROM manager and tried to get CyanogenMod back, but am unable too, every time I try to install I get an error. I am looking for ANY way to fix this. I mainly want to get my phone back to COMPLETE factory settings and Android 4.3. Im currently running Build Number Intergalactic 2.5.
PLEASE HELP!!!

Step #1 - Dont use ROM manger to install roms.
Step #2 - Flash back to stock and start over. If you need help with this there are stickies all over the general and q&a sub forums.

All by itself? Or did you manage to flash back to stock? If so the fix is to boot into recovery and factory reset. Also note it will take a little longer to boot after a stock flash (or wiping the cache) as the cache needs to be rebuilt.
I am running stock 4.3 rom, with philz recovery (and rooted too). Yesterday I flashed a Perseus kernel and my phone won't go past the "SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE II" screen. I had to re-flash firmware because I couldn't find the stock kernel anywhere (I wonder). Now I again flashed the DB kernel from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2239453
And again the same thing happened. I wish to dual boot my phone running CM 11 and TW. But I can't even boot my phone. And yes, I wiped dalvik and cache. What I am doing wrong? Please guide me.
