Hi,

Im new to this forum and sorry if it is a usual problem. Basically, I made a big mistake of rushing through rooting my new samsung galaxy s2 and applied a kernel for android 4.0.3 although i was on a previous version of stock android (not sure which stock version it was, although it was the latest and up-to-date version as of 23rd feburary 19:00pm GMT). I followed the instructions on this link: androidauthority(dot)commm/galaxy-s2-root-xxlpb-firmware-55849

Now when i turn my phone on i see the samsung boot screen with a yellow warning triangle until it turns itself off seconds later. I have tried holding volume down + home + power and "wipe data /factory reset" but i get:-
"--wiping data...
Formatting /data...
Formatting /cache...
Formatting /sd-ext...
Formatting /sdcard/.android_secure...
Error mounting /sdcard/.android_secure!
Skipping format...
Data wipe complete."

and problem still isnt fixed.

HELP IS MUCH NEEDED AND WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!!
 
Well I did not see you helping??
I apologize to the site owner. This site is super when I need help for Desire. SGS2 seems not so active. Sorry just a personal view which I hope changes with time. I know my comment does a disservice to great helpers like Shotgun. I was just suggesting what i thought would help. If you want, I will remove the post.
