  1. Hello, if you got the reboot loop problem after trying to install CyanogenMod 7 on SGS2 like me, the solution exists, read carefully this topic:
    http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/38096-boot-loop-sollution/

    In my case I put the cm_galaxys2_full-116.zip then I rebooted into clockWorkMod to install the update-cm-7.2.0-RC1-galaxys2-signed.zip
    Again, I had the reboot loop, but no worries, because with the following it was possible to boot CyanogenMod 7.2

    To resume it quick, (but please read the page on the link as well)
    Once in the reboot loop, you are at the step 7.
    [...]
    8.: dl the latest syah kernel from here: http://forum.xda-dev...d.php?t=1263838 But carefull not the Siyah-v3.x, it's for ICS, USE Siyah-v2.6.x for CM7
    pick the tar version, we gonna hit Odin one more time.
    9.: boot into dl mode (vol down, home and power), start Odin and load the syah kernel file to the pda field. Hit start and wait for the phone to start up.

    And voila! Your phone should boot into CM ok!
