I tried following everything based on the original post and using that rom you pointed out. However, I ended up with nothing but a screen with a spinning set of colors after the install finished. It would boot up showing the S2 screen, show a google screen, then show the colors before shutting down.
I attempted to get back into the Recovery Mode to attempt to restore the backup I had made earlier, but my phone will no longer boot into recovery mode - I press vol up/down + power, see the S2 logo, then BRIEFLY I see the loading screen for Recovery Mode, then it goes immediately back into the S2 logo again. Letting go of the buttons once the Recovery Mode screen starts to show still accomplishes nothing - it just restarts again.
Finally, I decided to cut my losses and try to get my phone back the way it was. I used the Stock recovery via Odin mentioned on the original post and thankfully got the phone back up and running... However, now I can't install any apps via the Store, kicks back error 492. I searched for that error and the fix that most all pages recommended was to clear dalvik - but I can't get into the Recovery Mode to do that anymore. I attempted to reinstall it via Odin, but it didn't make any difference - recovery still will not load.
Any ideas? I'm done trying to upgrade/enhance this thing, I just want it back the way it was before I got this idea in my head.
Which version of cwm are you trying to install? Are you saying you successfully reinstalled cwm and it still won't boot into recovery? Or you can't Odin in a recovery at all?
