Hi Maulvi, the colourful boot-up screen is (at least at model B(+)) a sign that the device did not understand the kernel. looking at the official raspi github I see that model 2 support has been added 12 days ago (https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/commits/master)
The kernel on that image is not that new, so I'm not really surprised that it doesn't work. from here I can see two courses of action: 1) download the latest kernel (https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/archive/master.zip) and copy the relevant parts (most stuff under /boot and /modules) to your SD and see if that boots. 2) wait a bit :). My Pi model 2 is due to arrive early next week. Work permitting I will probably update the image with the new kernel somewhere in the coming 2 two weeks. The new kernel is quite a bit newer. It went from a 3.12.x to 3.18.x I don't yet know the impact of that on the rest of the system. I also read a bit about "device tree overlays" and some people were a bit confused about that. Point being that I'd like your input if you manage to get the new kernel working.
