Did you make a nandroid backup of the previous rom and can you get in recovery mode?
if yes restore the backup (ALWAYS MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP OF A WORKING ROM) or reflash the rom ( wipe cache, dalvikcache, data/factory reset and format system in mounts and storage), If you can`t try to get in downloadmode and flash a stock rom and reroot.
You flashed the rom on what model no? That and infact all the roms here are made for i9300
Sounds like you've bricked it.
Make sure the rom you are flashing supports your device model.

Your device was/is i9300 (international) or US model? If your's was a US model than you're one of many who have flashed wrong ROM.

Omega 9 is for the I9300 only. If you can't get it to turn on, you are bricked and therefore there is nothing you can do to fix it.

I really think that the developers should warn in HUGE bright red letters on the FIRST page of every ROM, that THESE are NOT for U.S. versions of the Galaxy S III.
Really getting old seeing people bricking their phones all the time because they can't take 5 minutes to read 1) What section the are in and 2) All of the information before attempting to install ROM's.

I agree. People have to learn to read before doing this stuff. Before I flashed my S2 I read stuff for a month to make sure I knew what I was doing.

I do kind of agree with this but at the same time if you’re silly enough not to read all the info, then you deserve a brick. 9/10 roms state very clearly what the supported devices are.
It's like the fine print on a contract at the bank really.
All the threads are under "Samsung Galaxy S III I9300". I9300 should be enough to make people realize that they are in wrong forum

Most people only go by the Galaxy S III name. This is one of the MAIN reasons why I think that carrier branded phones should have their own unique names.

Please Help. I flashed this Ice cream sandwich file "I9100XXLPB_I9100OXXLP5_OXX" on my galaxy s2 i777 and now i cant go back to stock. I get a frozen boot screen with the gt-i9100 logo. The only time I can get the phone to turn on is when I reflash the i9100 ics with odin. I dont want that because the back and search buttons dont work and internet data is not working. I just want to go back to the icsrewd that I had or foxhound. Please help. Thank you.
P.s. I also tried this, but didnt work "[Heimdall][Odin][Stock][Root]UCKH7/KK6 Return/Unbrick to Stock (or Root)"
Why not flash back to what was working, as you stated you can, and then from there, clear/wipe etc., and flash what you do want?

It wont let me flash anything that has to do with i777, not even the rom i had before.
If you can get into download mode you can flash back to stock. Just do everything you did when you flash the 1900 but use the stock one found in the development board and you should be fine

Tried to return to stock. It finishes download and reboots phone, but then the screen freezes at the galaxy s2 logo. I have to re-enter download mode to get off that screen. The phone never boots up after that. I need a link to a .tar file for a rom so I can flash through odin.

Flash back to stock first. You need to flash everything for the I777 that is in the i9100 package that caused the problem. Use an archive program to open the i9100 tar and look at the contents. It probably includes boot.bin, sbl.bin, and param.lfs. None of the stock I777 packages that you tried to flash have those. In that case, flash the I777UCKH7-CL503881 Stock Binaries from the Download Repository, which contains those files.
What Creepy said is accurate. The reason yer messed up is you flashed i9100 bootloaders most likely.

Ok this is not being mean or rude, but if you dont know the meaning of these basic terms then you need to stop what your doing and spend some time doing your homework. Will you be with out a phone for a few hours? Yes but this is the price you pay for doing something before you understand what your doing. So please before you do something that cant be fixed. Do the research.

Hello Friends,
I am in desperate need of your help.
I am a moderate user and I know how to stuffs about Rooting and flashing custom ROMs.
Today I tried to flash CM9 stable ROM for International Galaxy S2 I9100. I did it using temporary CWM.zip file and everything went just fine till the installation of ROM. But when I clicked Wipe Data, suddenly phone went off and now it doesn't start.
I tried everything, tried to enter into Download mode and Recovery mode but all was in vain.
Please help me what should I do now? And is my phone ever going to come back to life?

Do you know what kernal you had at the time, for the phone to go off during a wipe sounds like the brick bug but I didn't think it was present in LPT. Can other members clarify please. Does your phone charge when plugged into charger?

I'm sorry but that's your fault.
It's being said 1 million times already, that wiping your data in CWM while running stock 4.0.4 ROM with a stock kernel will BRICK your phone.
Your inability to read might have left your phone bricked.
Read through the forum next time, ask questions if you don't understand anything and I can assure you will be luckier next time.

Yes there are many threads in this section and on xda portal warning you about the brick bug...
Almost all 4.0.4 have a brick bug... moreover it is caused when we do a data wipe. I believe you have bricked your device... sorry for that

that's why I blamed you for this. You did not read or ask before wiping but was only guessing.
This is a sticky thread under General section warning everyone about the buck bug. Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1756242
I and many others have also warned people about this bug but the unfortunate thing is that most of ask these kind of questions after the problem has occurred.

As far as I know all 4.0.4 ROMS have MMC_CAP_ERASE enabled, so in case of having bad chip and using wipe under temporary CWM floating around you will brick your phone. Although seems the problem is only in touch version of CWM. More detailed information can be found in 1st guide in my signature where Phil was talking with Entropy512.

Sorry dude
You might have to send your phone to device center for repairs but if you are out of warranty or wants to try to Fix things yourself, then the advise/instructions below is for you:
-boot your phone with usb jig, if you can get to download mode, then proceed to next step

Hi guys,
Thanks for all your replies.
I already figured it out that I have bricked my phone. But I was under impression that Data wipe with CM9 ROMs is not dangerous. At the time of failure I had already installed CM9.
Guess now I'll have to send the phone to Service center.
One thing I want to ask, "If the phone is hard bricked, is there any chance of them knowing that I had installed a custom ROM?"
If they can't then it might help me since my phone is still under 1 year manufacturer warranty.
Please reply and Thank you for your replies. The latest adventure of mine turned out to be painful one!!

I don't think so. since you can't boot into either recovery or download mode.
Even if you have an increased binary counter, it will be cleared once your device is forced with a usb jig to boot into download mode.

Then USB Jig is my last hope and if that doesn't work then I have to send the phone to the service center.
So if you can't enter into download or recovery mode there is no way to find out if i have used any custom ROM or rooted the phone?

Hello guys,
After receiving positive feedback from members I have finally submitted my phone to service center.
Please pray and hope they don't find out about my little adventure!!
first of all sorry if this is a repeated thread, very new to this site and no offense intended. please point me in the right direction if this is the case.
phone is very unresponsive with either a battery symbol (with circle inside - frozen) or galaxy s2 load up screen with triangle. I have previously rooted the phone with a litening rom through odin v 1.85. i was running a version of ICS on it and this morning i tried to upgrade to jellybean as a forum on this site had said it was possible. firstly in clockwork mod (holding power, vol up and home button) somewhere through the process of putting the file on the phone (instructions said to carry out the process through the clockwork mod) i have made a grave error. If I was able to get the phone to be recognised by the laptop I would be able to flash another stock kernel through odin to at least get me back functional and worry about tweaking later. Currently the phone won't recognise as a drive to the laptop though. Any advice people? Perhaps a suggestion also of a location of stock kernel for australian samsung galaxy s2 (using the virgin network).
That's just a soft brick, don't worry about it .

Hi (newb alert)
First of all thanks for all the info - followed the pistacchio thread to regenerate phone, that worked great. however, now once the phone is going again, repeatedly getting an overvoltage error message (did not have before) and the battery dying very quickly. I also cannot access the 3G network, but wifi is fine.
Can you recommend a course of action for this, not sure if i have flashed back to a complete stock rom or not, does that mean that the phone is still rooted? I would like to flash another rom if possible, but am not asking what one to use (have seen the rules of the site Sometimes the battery is even flashing . kernel version is 3.0.15-I9100XXLPH-CL118559 and build number is IML74K.XXLPH.
Any more info needed I am happy to provide. I was really happy with the slim ICS rom and would like to stick with that in the jellybean option if possible.
thanks
Go as stock as possible before going custom again.
See if issues persists.
Make sure you flash the right ROM for your device, noticed you're on I9100 ROM and you've only stated you own an "s II" , so, I cannot recommend any specific ROM because of the variants.

Hey, Guys I had the CM10 Jelly Bean rom downloaded from Rom Manager (I know I shouldnt have used Rom Manager but too late). The rom was giving me problems of low call volume and mic, Losing signal and some other stuff so someone suggested me to use Dark Side Super Wipe and reinstall the rom. I did and Now the phone won't boot up it stays on the CM screen and the Nothing works in the recovery. I tried back and restore doesnt work, Tried installing super wipe again doesnt work. Reseting phone to factory doesnt work. So basically im stuck. I did my search couldnt find anything similar to my problem so I decided to post here. Next step I was going to take is put it on download mode and flash stock rom with ODIN but before I do that I wana get advice from you experts.
I made a short video describing the problem so please take a look to get a better idea of what im talking about. Unfortunately forums wont let me post the links because i have less than 10 posts so please type the title on youtube with my username

Ok a friend S3 started acting up I didn't back up so I lost anything
When I tried to put back the original firmware on the phone using Odin for no reason at all will it be installed. It will just stick on Nand writing in the bottom part of the screen and nothing on tp part of the screen that would usually show FIL, PASS etc.
Next thing with some other firmwares the blue loading bar on the phone will go to basically 100% but nothing will happen on the phone
I did get on 2 firmwares, one just kept booting to the Samsung logo then go in a revolving boot sequence with the animation coming up, the other firmware I got on seems like it belonged to some other phone company and after their boot screen comes up and the Samsung's logo come on the screen it will just stay there.
In both cases the phone was left after installation on both screens for hours with no success.
All I want to do is put back on the 4.12 JB T mobile version enter unlock code and give back to my friend
Can I get some assistance please thanks

Take out the battery and post the model number here.
Factory reset to get past the forever spinning Samsung logo. The Odin fails are probably due to incorrect firmware.

You should stick to that forum before someone doesn't read this thread and answers with a link to our firmware which will brick your device.
It should be in there somewhere. Did you read the stickies? Like aerowinder said, all tour future questions need to be posted in that forum. We know very little about your device here.
You can find all samsung firmware at samsung-updates.com

Well that forum is specifically for your device. Use what you find in this forum and youre destined for a brick.
If you were to ask this question there you would get answers from people who are familiar with the device you have. Ours is very different.

According to this you are working on an International i9300 S3 I will move your thread to the correct forum as to not confuse other users here, or have someone here give you the wrong links to software that may brick your device.
Thread moved.
The op can post what the problem is here please if its an I9300 .
I9300 Basics read first.
