if you are referring to this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1457458 I have tried with no success.
@ rocky23 I updated via Samsung update service not kies
@ Azure Flame Kite I tried to reset and cache still boot looping
I have tried flashing GT-I9100_XEU_I9100XWLP7_I9100XXLPS_I9100XEULP5 and get process system is not responding error would you like to close it ?

Thanks for the reply I have flashed CF-root for ics loaded CWM and run factory reset/ cache /dalvik / battery
when you say format system partition is there something I have missed
thanks

thanks for the reply I tried that but it didn't work, I retried the bootloop sticky both for gingerbread and ICS but that didn't work either, I can boot into download and recovery mode.
I can flash CWM and I have retried to flash checkrom v6 from sd card but just stays on S boot screen.
Could the ICS update from Samsung have caused the problems I am having? I have previously flashed a number of different ROM's via odin and CWM with no problem at all
cheers
Mike
Hard to believe, when you format data, system, cache. It's a clean slate..... You should not be boot looping anymore..... Do again, flash stock GB ROM after that.... Wait 3 to 5 minutes. Takes time on first boot.

Oh after wiping and formatting system, you should be doing Odin only stock flash.

I gave up in the end and took it to a local shop to see if they could fix it
thanks for the help if they don't get it running I will try your method
Mike
Ok so I have my phone back from the shop who could not fix it either, it booted but when trying to use phone etc it just hangs, so I flashed cf-root formatted system, cleared cache, and user data then re flashed stock rom XEU_I9100XWKI4_I9100XEUKH2_I9100XXKI1
bootloop removed battery restarted bootloop
I am now dl I9100XXLPQ_I9100H3GLP2_H3G see if that works I might have to send it off to Samsung see if they can fix it I will have to pay as warranty will be void :-(
Ok so after numerous attempts at flashing I now have a partially working phone using GT-I9100_XEU_I9100XWKI4_I9100XEUKH2_I9100XXKI1.tar.md5 I say partial because everything is working except when I recive a call I cannot hear the person and they cannot hear me? and I get com.android.phone is not responding options to wait or close
wifi, googlestore, send sms, updates, keyboard all works perfectly
any idea what's causing this driving me nuts now

had a similar issue my steps
wipe data /factory reset + wipe dalvik cache + battery stats + format system using CWM and then i flashed the indian firmware DDKQ5 (5file format using ODIN) then flash CWM and wipe data factory reset and then install CM7 and try to boot. I know its a long process but for me it worked
I had a same problem..when there was backup app on my phone it was getting constant boot..now its working all good after removing them.

BEFORE anyone mention that this problem has been mentioned before, read twice.
i was on omega rom, it kept rebooting. so i cleared cache and all that stuff. shut down the phone, booted in download mode. tried flashing my stock firmware KK3, it goes up to flashing kernel then fails.
when i turn the phone off and on i get the a different screen saying firmware upgrade failed try restoring via kies.
i tried lp2 firmware it flashes fine. could it be that i was using ICS before and now it doesnt let me go back to 2.3.6
pls respond with solutions
Omega has ICS themed ROMs but no ICS firmware ROMs so it wont be cos of that.Did you try a full system wipe before the flash??
boot to recovery and wipe cache partition.Then go to "mounts and storage" and format System/Data/Cache and then do a factory reset then reboot.The Phone probably wont go past the Galaxy-S logo so pull the battery then put it back in and boot to download mode and try the flash again.If that doesnt work you could try to flash the F/W that works and then flash a new kernel.After that try the 2.3.6 flash again.

Thx I will try it soon. But how come I can flash ics kp8 and lp2 roms
Are you using the new bootloader then?
That one Im not sure of but I have read on other threads that people have had to "repartition" their phones to be able to flash back from ICS.Not bieng on ICS I dont see why you cant as the Omega ROM was just themed.Im on the latest Omega and its 2.3.6. so 100% positive it wasnt ICS.Also Try stupid things like another com port.Happened to me once.The one I was using when I had an i9000 stopped letting me flash it via Odin when it reached the same stage every time I tried.Dont Know why.Just had to change ports.Try everything:
1.Full wipe and flash.....If that dont work then...
2.Flash F/W that works then change kernel and flash old bootloader(as mentioned above)never know,might work.

Flash it in PDA in Odin.
ALso you could try a program called "Fus Downloader"

True.Same thing happened to my mate.He has an i9000 and Odin stopped flashing his phone but only if he used a PIT file so I gave him my i9100 cable and it started flashing his phone again with PIT file selected.Weird how things work sometimes for no real reason.Anyway Nandroid backups are always a good call.could have saved some trouble the this case.Ive got a Nandroid backup on my phone and copied to DropBox thats months old but it would get me out of trouble if this sort of thing happened to me Even though its old as.Gotta have that saftey net.

Mate,thats a strange one alright.
Any luck yet.I was thinking that you might have to look for a package that has the older 4 file flash with pit.Its possible that maybe you need to repartition your device.Might be hard to find thought.
Hi everyone, i've got a huge problem with my i9300, i've got the foxhound/[email protected] rom since a week, and everything worked fine, i updated once without problems, however today i did the update with usual procedure, but now i've rebooted and i'm stuck on a bootloop after the apps optimizing part, where Android tries to optimize two apps, then open them, but then boot animation starts again over and over.
I tried going into recovery but it did not do anything, so i i tried flashing CWM via Odin, however now if i try starting in recovery only the samsung boot screen shows up and stays there forever.
Please help me

Go to CWM recovery and do a data/factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik cache, reboot and restore your apps.

THANKS SO MUCH FOR THIS I MANAGED TO GO TO RECOVERY AND DO THE UPDATE AGAIN, NOW MY PHONE WORKS PERFECTLY WITHOUT LOSING DATA !!!!
Thank you really really much for this
hi there i have had my device rooted for awhile now and all of the sudden it just started to get stuck in a bootloop, just displaying the "samsung galaxy s III GT-I9300T" screen then goes black and repeats
i have a sgs3 GT-I9300T (from telstra, australia if it matters)
i rooted with "CF-Auto-Root" which worked fine and was working fine for atleast a month
i dont have a backup (yes im a noob/idiot for not creating a backup but didnt think there was any reason to)
i have tried flashing the latest firmware from sammobile using odin (with only auto reboot and F. reset time checked)
i can still access recovery (factory or custom from flashing in odin)
i've already tried a few suggestions from some posts on here but alot of them arent for the international/I9300T version so wasnt game enough to try them out in fear of fully bricking it
if anyone can help out with what i should try that would be great
i would even settle for resetting flash counter and system status back to 0/offical so that i can try and return it
current state is:
Custom binary download: Yes (3 counts)
Current binary: Samsung Official
System status: Custom
Did you try factory reset from recovery before/after reflashing stock?

yes and even installed CWM recovery to clear the "dalvik cache"
Here is thought
Pull out sdcard, better format in FAT32, copy few ROM into it by using card reader or other usable phone which has sdcard slot.
Flash any of newest recovery such as TWRP personally suggested, Backup current ROM in case of further needed and then
Factory reset, format /system partition, wipe cache / Dalvik cache, and then flash new ROM too see if it works.
Remember format system partition!

download this file http://checkrom.com/threads/resurrection-odin-checkrom-evohd™-v4.896/
get into odin and flash this file into your phone through the download mode ... if everything works it should boot into cwm recovery .. then wipe data\factory reset , wipe cache , wipe dalvik cache and reboot ... wait 15 mins and it should work!! Good Luck!
woot this worked!
i tried re downloading the file first like qtwrk suggested and reflashing it in odin which still returned the same result but i then downloaded this one and did it and it worked
i got into the os downloaded triangle away and reset the counter then flashed the telstra one again so that it was right back to factory default firmware which is what i wanted, will proberly root it again but will def make sure i get a full backup right away incase of any issues later on.
thank you all for your help
hye me again just thought id write an update on my situation
it appears that the phone had stuffed up again this time tho couldnt get into recovery mode but could still get into download mode
i didnt bother doing the same thing again instead i just took it back to telstra and they replaced it, and they replaced it with the 305 model so worked out alright in the end
Hello,
Recently, I was having problems with my cache partition being corrupt as I could not install apps from the play store. To fix this, I flashed stock rom S5830i_XXLI1_ODDLI1_DDLI1. After flashing via odin, I got stuck in a bootloop and had to flash cyanogenmod RC 3 with the CM kernel after which the phone started working. Since then I have lost my IMEI number. I tried flashing S5830i_XXMC1_ODDLK1_DDMC1 but my phone is again stuck in bootloop? I think the kernel is the reason why I lost my IMEI, so I dont want to flash it again. Is there anyway I can get my phone to working conditions?
I have tried the Hex workshop method which hasn't yet worked for me.
In CM 7 Rom,IMEI bug is not solve. Search in xda you will get the information about how to restore IMEI or see CM7.2 Rom's thread and comments.
