[Q] Galaxy Ace 2 bootloop - Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Dear fellow xda readers,
I have a problem with my Samsung Galaxy Ace2 (GT-I8160). Out of sudden after a few days that i had installed a custom rom started to bootloop all the time.
It doesn't boot. I can get to the recovery which is CWM v6.0.4.9. I tried to install many other roms but it said "symlink: some symlinks failed" .
I also tried to flash stock rom through odin but still got a bootloop. I tried through android-sdk to reboot the phone or try to delete everything from inside but it stuck there too saying "waiting phone to response"
Does any member has any suggestion what to try before i throw it away??
Can anyone provide me a backup file made by CWM in order to try restore from there? whatever the rom...
Any suggestion will be good!!!
Sorry if my english is not that good :angel:
Thanks for reading
and thanks in advance for the help

Have you tried flashing stock Gingerbread rom with pit file. That might help you.

Hey man im not totally sure, but when i was going to flash CM7, i saw that your have to flash ext4 formatter first, because stock ROM runs on the RFS filesystem, not ext4. I forgot to do this and changed my mind to go for cm9, and my phone did a 45min bootloop after i flashed haha. So i decided to flash to cm7. But when i was flashing cm7 i saw it "formatting /system" presumably to ext4 i would image. So im thinking that the stock rom wont work because it cannot use ext4. NOT 100% SURE THOUGH, thats just my best guess.
Good luck!

because of the different filesystem,i think you need to flash a stock rom with odin for once.

[Q] can't enter recovery mode

hello, i have a problem with my galaxy gio...
it is 2.2.1 and i wanted to upgradeit to a newer version.
first i tried to use the stock recovery mode (the one without many options) and so i tryed to install the clockwork recovery.
i forgot to do the root in the first place, so i have done it using superoneclick- the phone is now rooted and superuser is working great!
the only problem is that now every time i try to enter recovery mode it is stuck on the samsung logo.. and then i turn off and on to normal mode...

Dont install CWM on Froyo..
Thats is the problem,2.2.1 is froyo..
Sent from my GT-S5660 using Tapatalk 2
CWM isn't compatible with Froyo... You must upgrade to Ginger to use CWM. But ginger is hard to root with Super one click... So you must flash it! :good:
Flash stock 2.3.6 with Odin, then flash cwm with Odin directly afterwards.

thank you all for tips, i understood why it happened, and solved it by flashing the stock 2.3.6 using odin and then stock recovery apeared and working then i could do everything bec i got the recovery mode back to work!.

Same thing happened to me after i updated super user, it said 'super user signing error' when i accessed CWR from the os, and when i tried to boot it went straight to the OS (cm 7.2) - i fixed it by throwing out the battery for 5 minutes and re installing cm 7.2.

[Q] N7100 Boot Loop + Stuck at Samsung word

Hello everyone! This is my first post here, actually ive been here just for stalking and follow tutorials. this forum is the best for me and helped me a lot. But, 2 days ago, I got an issue that cant be solved by me by refering threads. So I decided to register to forum, and ask by myself.
Here's the problem.
"There has been sudden booting while I was using Facebook on my device, while I reboot it, it stuck at "Samsung Galaxy Note II -GTN7100" after a while, it reboot again. It happened suddently. It happens continously untill now. It has been 2 days I search through the forum but none can help me."
My device details while the problem occur :
ROM : Paranoid Android 3.99 RC2
Recovery : TWRP 2.6.3.0
kernel : stock
and my device can turn into download mode, and TWRP. but only cant boot into ROM.
I did try to flash many ROM via TWRP. And do fresh format.(Clean evrything via TWRP). Install various ROM and it seemed cant help to boot into the ROM.
I also try to flash stock from SAM, via Odin, but it helpless.
I also discovered that is not the power button issue, as i can boot into recovery without restarting by itself. So I think it is not about the power button.
I tried to use other recovery, and flash CWM via Odin, but cant get to CWM recovery mode. I also tried to flash stock recovery, but same as CWM. Only TWRP is working on my phone.
I searched thorugh the forum, and many ask to do factory reset, but it helpless for me.
Thanks everyone for any suggestion! and dont ask me to go to Samsung centre as my device warranty is expired.:cyclops:

after flashing it will reboot.. go to stock recovery and do a wipe..
that should help i guess..!

does it say anything about efs or pit being corrupted
well flash this http://d-h.st/fWr and try install any custom rom and get back with the result
and what about philz recovery that does not work even http://d-h.st/iII
Try flash cf-auto root through odin. Usually the phone will successfully booting after the auto root process done.

well it seems its time to it to service guys it should have booted fine or maybe the pit partition damaged is not letting it boot
if u have tried solving that way then finally to ss
flash pit partition http://d-h.st/Dlv,then flash the firmware stock
I read through the thread and was about to say what the above poster suggested. Make sure you tick repartition in Odin when you've input the pit file.

Sadly solve
Hello everybody.... I assumed that this topic now shall be closed since I sadly solved it.
The solution :
After trying stock ROM and cant enter stock recovery, I tried many official rom 4.1.2 and many custom rom, but nothing can help.
So I decided to go to Samsung centre, then they tried to flash with their own odin, so the same thing happened. After a few checkings, ive been told that my motherboard got problem. So I need to change a new motherboard but I dont want.
So, i decided to buy a brand new phone that same price as the new motherboard =.= .... Thanks to all that trying to help me especially mr Ankit.. Many2 thanks and i appreciate it.. Taking 3 days without sleeping to figure it out seems helpless..
If there are any possible solution, please share to me since Im still following this thread..

Continuing from my above post, I also faced the same situation...Samsung service center guys told me that my motherboard needs to be replaced and it would cost Indian Rs.7400/-, so I am going ahead with the replacement, as now also a new note 2 costs min. Rs.22k in India. And at the Rs.7500/- price point even the new 'Android One' phones launched by Google are no where near to the punch packed by Note 2.
Hope this post helps other beleaguered souls like me.

Pity, mate- but I think motherboard change will in fact provide you a new phone. Samsung has used some third party components that have not been so reliable. New motherboard will have aproven components.

Stuck in recovery boot loop!

I went through the normal procedure of installing a new ROM, I wiped w/factory reset, got hit with a "status 7" error. I looked it up and it's apparently a problem with conflicting recovery manager files. That makes sense because I have CWM recovery and it asked me to install TWRP. I guess you can't have both?
I followed a tutorial explaining how to edit the userscript file to bypass the error and it seemed like it was going to install at first but I still got hit with it. Now my computer doesn't recognize my s3 (d2spr) so I have to put the files on an external microSD. I tried to restore from CWM but it wouldn't let me. I'm pretty new to this stuff so I'm not sure how to proceed from here.
Your best option is Odin back to stock and start over again.

[Q] Softbricked my Tab 3 7

Hello there, I was trying to update my Tab's firmware to 4.2.2 following the instructions listed on a website I can't link to because I'm a new member. I found it by googling "update sm-t210 to 2.4.4". It's on a website called techbeasts.
I was using CWM recovery 6.0.4.7. I installed the first file, listed at the bottom of the page, the "Kernel.zip file". It installed using CWM just fine, it's a small file only about 6MB. The second file I tried to install, the "T110 on T210/210R.zip" file failed. It gave me something about 5 out 4 expected args and didn't work.
After this my tablet would not boot, it would show the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 (not the animation) and then go black.
Next I tried to reflash using the 4.1.2 firmware from SamMobile using ODIN. This failed on the modem.bin. After this I couldn't boot in in recovery mode or ODIN mode. All I get is the, "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue...". ODIN still recognizes my tablet.
So I'm stuck. I've spent all night googling to no avail. Any help would be appreciated.
So I managed to use ODIN to get CWM reworking. But I've hit another brick wall. Now that I've got something to work with anyone have any ideas?

Install the latest CWM (6.0.4.8) and it you should be able to flash the rom correctly.
Thanks gr8note,
So I did what you suggested, I installed 6.0.4.9 and then lo and behold, the error went away! The ROM installed with no errors. One issue is the device no longer registers with adb, but fortunately the ROM was already on my device. The device is still discoverable with ODIN on my PC.
My new problem is now I can't get it to boot in to anything but recovery or ODIN. Even if I just use the power button it boots to recovery. I just got home from work and will be searching for a solution, but any more help would be appreciated!
Thanks again.

Flash the kernel again.
Sent from my SCH-I605
Hi gr8nole, thank you for getting back to me. I've seen your name all over these forums searching for a solution.
So I have reflashed the kernel I had originally downloaded, and also tried the blackhawk kernel I found on these forums for the sm-t210. It still will only boot to recovery. I have flashed several different recoveries to my tablet. I have tried two different ROMs - one from the website I mentioned above and the stock ROM from SamMobile - and it still will only boot to recovery or ODIN.
If you had a different kernel in mind a link would be greatly appreciated. Beyond that, any other advice you can give me?

j,
a while back i read a warning about sammobile images being screwy and to avoid them.
this was the image i used when i first got my tab http://d-h.st/users/Jamison904?fld_id=21912 the 1.13 gb img not the dump
hope this helps
m
Hey thanks for replying.
I ended up doing a huge facepalm when I figured out my problem. I was attempting to install the stock ROM like the other ROMs...through a recovery. You can imagine my frustration when I finally realized it was not a normal ZIP but instead had to be extracted and ODIN'D.
Duh.
