S2 stuck at boot screen

[taislice]

Currently stuck at the "Samsung Galaxy S II" logo during boot and it won't go past that. I can't seem to get into recovery mode, but I can access download mode.

I was using Shostock v3.0.2 (latest) and the Jeboo 1.3b Kernel.

SuperSU had an update and I accidentally pressed "twrp/cwm" instead of "normal" which made my phone reboot and has been stuck at the Samsung logo at boot up since then. When going into download mode, it shows that the current binary is "Samsung Official".

Would I have to use Kies to restore the phone back to factory or is there any other workarounds to get it to work again?

Thanks in advance!

You don't have to use Kies, but since it won't boot into recovery, you will have to load stock firmware. Your options are Kies if it will restore the phone, or, since you can get into download mode, flash the stock firmware with Odin.

If it were me, I would flash 4.0.4 UCLL6 plus root from the development forum using Odin3 v1.85, and then install Mobile Odin lite or Mobile Odin pro, and flash one of the custom kernels that are linked in the OP of that thread. Then you can load and flash SHOstock 3.0.2 again if you want.

Alright I will try out your recommendation and let you guys know how it turns out. Thanks for the quick reply. :good:

Alright I was able to flash back to stock 4.0.4 using your thread/guide. Will flash a custom kernel now.

Back to SHOstock again!

I had the same thing happen to me today.
I had to clear the cache on the phone and factory reset it after installing the 4.0.4 UCLL6 from creepyncrawly's sig.
It took 5 minutes or so after I did that of it sitting at the AT&T logo before the phone came up.
It sucked.
