I just got a samsung galaxy SII epic touch. like an idiot I went to this forum to try to root it. Now I can't get back to the hboot menu. It just sais that it is downloading and hangs. How can I undo this??? Since then I have rooted the phone. Please help!
Try installing a rom using odin..guess an official rom will be good..this shud work if the phone can go into download mode..

I wish I could but I cannot get to hboot. Every time I try to get to the boot menu it goes into the download kernal mode which does nothing.

But if it goes into download mode, install odin on you computer and you should be able to see your phone?
then you install a rom for your phone trough Odin, i notice that you say you got an SGS II this for instanse is the forum for SGS 1
no hboot
ok. but if I do this will it only root my phone? I have already done that. what I need is to stop the phone from going into this download mode instead of going to the hboot. Now I have a rooted phone that will not go into hboot mode. Is there some sort of startup folder that puts me into this mode? Is there a file that I can delete so I can get into hboot when I reboot?

Got a little/big problem..
I rooted/lagfixed my phone a while ago, now i accidently removed my root.. which leaves me with a phone that get stuck on the 'S' logo.. I tried to get in the recovery mode by doing 3 button way, didnt work. Tried doin it with the adb mode, doesnt work.
Tried to reflash with odin, no luck either.. So anyone any idea how to get this fixed?

problem is i cant get into download mode..
I turned my phone off like normal last night. The phone is rooted with 2.2. I have anti virus etc on it to make sure i dont do anything nasty to it. I went to turn it on this morning and it got into a loop when it got into the main screen it got to a loop where it loads up all services and then vibrates and retries to start all services.
I shut it off and have rebooted it and same thing continues to happen. I cannot get into the apps screen to reset the phone and when I try to reinstall the root pkgs in the recovery screen i Get a red message saying cannot find update.zip or whatever the extension name is. I am not sure what to do here. I Keep pulling the battery out and resetting it but same thing is happening its booting up but keeps looping in the main screen.
1.not a dev subject.
2.let us know what rom. What you have installed latley and what kernel. Ect...

you must have installed the wrong modem or kernel.
Hello !
I have a big problem. I tried installing clockworkmod recovery. I'm standing at Rom manager. I dont know what I clickking. One time 1 click to reboot to recovery and I have a black screen.
I'm rooted a phone, and i downloaded rom manager from filecrop, i think non-trusted.
You shouldn't use ROM manager. If you can get into the downloading mod, flash through Odin. If not, you may have to go get your phone repaired.

You should have read previous posts here before you even tried to use rom manager. A lot of cases already where rom manager bricked their phone. If you can still boot it in download mode, better flash a stock rom thru odin and cwm thru odin as well.. then you can install custom roms..

Thanks every1 for quick reply.
It's my friend's phone. I tried to use CTBeastDroid?'s guide. I copied a file from Dreaming-rc29 and I tried a Power + Home combo it didn't work. Can I do ? Please tell me step by step. I never use SGM. I'm formatted external sdcard by my Captivate(phone, it use for sdcard reader). I had a black screen. And my friend's phone didn't do nothing.
HELP!!!! My Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830 is in soft bricked mode
After i used odin and it took forever and did not start at all, i removed the usb cable and now when i start up its always an icon of a fone n a triangle wif a ! in it and a computer bside it HELP PLS!!!! HOW COULD I FIX THIS?!?!
did you flash the correct firmware.check your device model and download the suitsble version and try flashing again.if you go to boot screen then remove your battery and goto stock recovery and wipe data and cache.dont panic just search and read you may get a solution.
Restore it then flash it again. That's why you always back up. If you didn't back up download the official firmware then root it again

[Solved!]
Hey everyone!
I followed the Cyanogenmod guide from cm's website on how to install cm 10 on rooted att captivate from android 2.2 froyo.
I followed the guide exactly up to installing cwm recovery via heimdall on a windows 7 (heimdall wouldn't work on an xp I have so I switched to my 7) and everything worked as it said it would, however after finishing and getting the blue bar on the download mode screen, I held the vol up/down and pwr keys per the guide and the phone went to the att logo screen that it shows when you first turn it on and it just flashes that screen.
I can get into download mode still but it won't go into the options screen to hard reset or use cwm recovery.
I rooted it using the superoneclick method and I backedup with titanium.
I haven't been able to find anyone on xda or any other site with the same problem as me (everyone with a similar problem had a different version of android or something so I was afraid to try the solutions given for them.)
Please Help!! Thank you so much in advance!!

Thanks, I tried getting into recovery mode using the guide on that thread but no luck. I haven't gotten to try the first guide suggested yet so when I have time I'll try that. Thankfully I can get into download mode fine.

Here is the last Stock Firmware released, i897ucKK4 Gingerbread 2.3.5, if ya wanna flash it instead.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18370912&postcount=3 ...Since ya can get in Download mode.
Flashin to KK4 with the Bootloaders included (if u don't already have them) has solved the button combo problems for others who were not able to get into recovery, etc.
Heed all warnings about flashin bootloaders. It only takes a few seconds to flash the boot.bin and sbl.bin, but ya don't wanna interupt the flash durin that process, i.e. loose power, accidently disconnect micro usb/usb cable, etc.
Once ya have the gb boots, there is no need to flash bootloaders again.

How long should/could it take Odin to detect/recognize my captivate? I couldn't wait to try the KK4 flash, but I've waited for about 10 minutes and it's not showing anything in Odin.:\
It should only take a few seconds.
See that Captivate - PC Connection Issues...thread i linked u to in my reply a few posts up.

Well I've been up all night lol but I got everything to work!! I guess it all just clicked with me and I understood and found all the answers in threads. THANK YOU SO MUCH!! Your link and Odin one click worked perfect. I think I had a problem with the drivers, that's why it wouldn't detect it. I read in another thread it could be that and I tried reinstalling the Samsung drivers but no luck. So I just switched to my windows xp where I'd never used heimdall drivers(I was on my windows 7) and did it on there, worked perfectly! I then went on to reinstall cwm and then cm 10.1.2 and I love it! Now I'm waiting for the Google play store .zip to download so I can flash it onto my i897! THANKS AGAIN!!! :thumbup:
