Phone not restarting after applying UOT zip file

---

Hi there!

I was on XILA2 firmware on my Galaxy S II phone. Cooked this file in the UOT Kitchen. Applied the UOT.zip file in the Recovery mode. But the problem is that the phone is not restarting after that either from the Recovery mode or from the Power button. It gets stuck at the "Samsung Galaxy S II GT-9100" screen. Does not move forward after that screen.

What to do now? How to complete the reboot process? I faced this problem earlier also with Other ROMs, but the phone used to restart after giving it 4-5 tries (from the Power Button). But this time, it is not restarting at all after applying the UOT zip. Have tried two dozen times. Pls help.

1) Make a factory reset in CWM and also format data/system/cache (in mount and storage)... Then flash again.

2) If also doesn't work, search for a flashable kernel for Odin (f.ex. Any firmware), flash it then root again and try an other rom or kitchen .zip

CHEERS ;)

Dear Hannibal, thanks for taking the time to reply. I didn't do factory reset in CWM coz I did not want to lose my apps and data. I simply flashed the XILA2 Rom again, and it did the trick. Now trying to root and will try another UOT file again. Let's see if it works this time

You need to wipe cache and dalvik cache after applying a uot kitchen zip or it will boot loop.

Nope, did not wipe cache and dalvik cache and it did not go into boot loop. Everything works smooth after flashing XILA2. BUT, it does not restart after flashing the UOT.zip through recovery mode. The screen freezes. Tried it twice.

So to conclude, this means that the UOT Kitchen people will have to do some work to make their files compatible with the latest ROMs like XILA2. I think the kitchen Chefs have fallen behind the times.

Err, what? I mean, after flashing the UOT zip, did you wipe cache and dalvik cache?

Try clearing caches like post before said BUT if even this don't work u can't get around to make a factory reset.
That's why always safe data before flash!

No, I did not. Why do I need to wipe cache & dalvik cache after flashing the UOT zip?? The phone is NOT REBOOTING after flashing the UOT zip file. Don't you get it. The UOT zip file is obviously not compatible with XILA2. XILA2 works fine without the UOT mods.

Oh what u can try is one think (without loosing data, maybe some settings like ringtone etc):

Only format system in mount and storage and then flash the LA2 again. If the mods just modded system setting it should work

I get it, you dont seem to be, the phone wont boot after you flash the UOT zip, for it to boot you need to wipe the cache and dalvik cache, you wont lose data.

The UOT mods can cause incomparability between the changed framework and whats in the cache.
