Can somone please help me. I have no idea whats wrong. Its stuck at the Samsung boot logo and wont do anything.
This is what i did before it all.
I wanted to try out a custom ROM, so i installed SuperNexus.
Decided i did not like it that much, plus i did not get WIFI to work. Just wanted to try it out more or less.
So i wanted to reset it to STOCK rom again.
I followed this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646610
And after ODIN was done, its just stuck at the boot logo.
Did i do something wrong? Is it broken?
I did not follow the steps to "reset the warranty" as i thought it would not be any problem.
As i was gonna keep on going rooted.
So i cant go back and get a new one...
Somone please, any advice or tips on what to do?
do u still hav the recovery? try flash another custom rom and see

Did you do a data wipe in recovery mode?

Don't worry you haven't broke it. Just seems like you have made a wrong step and messed it up. Easily fixed. Try doing a full wipe and follow the guide again

Seems like a kernel related problem. Try to start the guide again or try to flash a kernel with Odin or CWM. Will probably boot after a successful installation!
No i did not do a wipe, wich i probably should have. Problem now is, i cant get back into CWM or am i doing a wrong step?
EDIT: I got into CWM, i did a full wipe. Reboot. Nothing still stuck. Also did try to reinstall a custom ROM and still stuck the the new shiny logo that came with it.

Try the Volume-Up (I think, might be down, one does recovery, the other does download mode, you want recovery) + Home Key + Power button on boot.
If that doesn't go into recovery, you should be able to still go to download mode and flash using Odin from your computer I imagine?
Yeah i read the wrong one when i searched around. I got in. Phone is fixed now =) It booted when i took full wipe AND clean the cache thing.
Thanks for the help!
Full wipe is usually helpful when it comes to stuck on boot situation,corrupted rom or not correctly flashed rom.
after u flash with odin
u should enter recovery
do a factory reset
and it will work
thats how the s3 updates work
i had that problem too and i fixed it
Nothing is working.
Nothing is working for me.
Same happened to me after I flashed stock BTU (UK) 4.0.4 ROM (LG8). It just sat at Samsung logo with slowly pulsing Notification light. I rebooted and same thing.
I went into recovery (turn off and then hold VolUp + Home button + Power and as soon as lil Android appears, let go. it should go into recovery) i selected Factory reset and then wipe cache and rebooted and it booted fine.
Thanks all. I'm an 'old hat' at flashing roms etc., but never had the phone hang on boot after a flash, and you really do get a horrible sinking feeling as you wait longer and longer for it to respond. definitely gonna remember this trick to boot to recovery and wipe.
Thanks again to all

I am sure, this has been posted somewhere, but am new to this forum and cannot find it. please bear with me.
I installed CM7 on my Galaxy ace and tried to restore back to stock ROM. the restoration failed, the phone is now in a bootloop (the samsung logo flashes once every two seconds). I tried getting the phone into recovery mode but it does not get that far.
However, I am able to get the phone to download mode and tried loading the stock 2.3.3, 2.3.5 ROM via ODIN. Both times, ODIN passed the installation. but my phone has not improved. can anyone please help?
PS: consider me a beginner.

I wish I could do that. My phone does not get that far.. it restarts before that. Can I do this from the PC anyway?
Search clockwork mod recovery that has 205mg its flashable via odin

Flash it with odin choose it as pda
might say aint compatibile but flash anway
yeah. just tried that. I downloaded the file and chose that as PDA and flashed my phone with odin.. I am still getting the same problem. I guess, the warranty is void since I installed CM7.. so what to do now?
well before giving up you could just let it do its thing for like an hour and see what happens...

Wait from where did you downloaded firmware snd which version of odin did you used.

the same happened to me also.
in the past i've flashed my ace with cm7 and wanted to go back to the stock rom.
flashed the stock rom with odin but the phone stuck in a boot loop.
if you have flashed stock rom with odin..
do this..
remove the phone batteries and let them out for a minute.
after that insert the battery again and goto the Recovery mode by holding the power and the home button.
once you are in recovery (Clockworkmod Recovery).
do a data/factory wipe.
a cache wipe
and a Dalvik Wipe.
and reboot the phone.
hope you phone boots normally.
Am using ODIN version 4.38.
downloaded the original CM7 version from this site ported by grif (Kooper Kang something).
When I had problems with that, I tried to revert to Stock rom 2.3.3 from sammobile.com
To answer other question, I am NOT able to go to the recovery menu. Hence cannot wipe cache, reset etc. The phone restarts before that. The only mode I am able to switch on is the Download mode. Even if I reload the ROM with ODIN showing a "PASSED" at the end of the process, my phone is still a brick.
Thanks to everyone who tried to help.
Seriously, I've seen this before. It can only be fixed by the service centre... flash the stock rom and take it in under warranty if you still have it.

Wrong, after flash the stock rom with ODIN take battery, insertt battery, the keep pressed Home button and Power button until it goes to Samsung Recovery, then do the full wipe and reboot.
Last week I flashed LD3 for my Galaxy S2 i777. Today I was going to flash CM9. Every time I tried to boot into recovery it just started the phone.
I figured I could use mobile odin to flash a new kernel and it would fix it. Like an idiot I used a Gingerbread kernel on my phone running an ICS rom. So of course my phone froze on the "Galaxy S2" screen.
I couldn't boot into recovery and freaked out because I couldn't boot into dl either. I ordered a jig but kept fiddling in the meantime. I found that if I hook my phone to the USB, wait for the battery charging icon, take the battery out, then hold the down button it would boot into dl mode. Then I had to put the battery back in before I clicked continue or else it just reset.
Ok, so got into DL mode. I grabbed the stock rom and kernel from XDA site and flashed them with Odin. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1286432 (can't post links yet).
The phone starts and setup mode begins. It shows the android figure and says click it. Now all kinds of errors pop up telling me different google services weren't working and force close. When you click the android figure it goes to setup wizard screen but nothing happens (except more android service errors).
Can someone help me out here? I've been at it 5 hours and searched this forum high and low. My thought is there are some ICS elements left behind in there it is trying to load, but I could be way off.
I still can't boot into recovery mode, just DL.

Did you do a full wipe before flashing the stock rom and kernel?
I did not do a full wipe. How can I go about that without logging into recovery? I'm googling that now but if you have linkage I would appreciate it.

dont need to wipe when using Odin/Heimdall.
To OP:
there is only factory recovery, no CWM, you could always just flash a kernal from the DEV section, get CWM, flash CM9.
If I flash another kernel wouldn't I still have the same problem? I'll go ahead and give it a shot. Any you recommend for any reason or other?

So let me get the straight...you're on unrooted stock right now? If that's true, you should:
1. Do a factory reset from settings.
2. Use Odin to flash the Stock with Root package.
3. Use Mobile Odin to flash either Entropy's DD or Siyah.
4. Use CWM to flash what you want after that.

recovery is in kernal. If you flash a kernal from the DEV section you'll get CWM recovery, then you can flash your CM9 that you wanted, after a wipe data/factory reset.

Yes, but if he flashes said kernel with Odin, it'll trip his flash counter. I'm just telling him the safe way to do it, Mobile Odin.
I've already tripped my counter. I have a jig that will be here tomorrow so I can use it to reset the counter.
I can't use mobile odin because I can't log into my phone. I can only use desktop Odin.
All the files I am digging up look like .zip made for cwm. Could someone help guide me towards a kernel I can flash from desktop?

Either Entropy's DD or Siyah. You can open the zip and extract the zimage; the zimage is the kernel.
I just tried using Syiah:

Flash the return to stock package from Odin again. Something must have gone wrong with it the first time.
well thats wierd. Sorry man but are you doing it right?
vol down and power. hold it untill the screen flashes twice.
I flashed stock 3 times now. I couldn't get into recovery before this (manually or with rom manager) and still can't. It starts like its going into recovery then just resets and loads normally.
Down is for dl mode, up is recovery.
I think the lack of ability to boot into recovery and the android service errors may be related.

Forget recovery. You shouldn't be worrying about recovery until after you get your phone booting.
New thought: maybe your download of the stock package is corrupted. Try to download it on your computer again. Download the one with root. If that fixes it, you can go use Mobile Odin to flash the Siyah kernel.
To get into recovery hold down both volume up, volume down, and power button and don't let go until recovery comes up.

I have been using the rooted. The fully stock won't dl. This started because I flashed a gb kernel instead of ics. Maybe I should try flashing an ics kernel instead of stock gb?
So.. I was using my phone normally .. but suddenly my phone went very very slow and then I turned off... I was running Unnamed rom.
But here is the deal , the phone didnt woke up! I mean , The phone got stucked into a boot loop , So I treid to enter into recovery with no luck!... Then I managed to go into download mode without any problem.
So after that I restored the phone to stock (One click root odin) . BUT the phone is still showing the Galaxy S Screen Boot loop.
HELP!
I´ve tried many things.. 2 Laptops and PC´s , ports , etc.. I also removed the sim card and the micro sd , but that didnt do anything.
So , any suggestion?
PS: Sorry 4 my english
I'm going to assume that you flashed UCKH7, either the stock without root, or the stock with root one click downloader. If you flashed something different than one of these, let me know.
Since you flashed the stock package successfully, you should now be able to get into 3e recovery by holding vol+ vol- and power buttons. Once in 3e recovery, you should do a wipe data/factory reset and your phone should then boot normally.
If you are unable to get into 3e recovery, then there is some sort of unusual problem, so post back here and we'll try to find out what it is.

If you can't get into recovery using the three button technique then there is something seriously wrong with your phone.
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
Yes... I'm thinking possible hardware issue. But since you can still get download mode, I'd try flashing the full stock package which you can get from the Download Repository. The one you already flashed did not contain the bootloaders and other stuff. If that doesn't clear it up, then I'm thinking repair or replace.
Noob question.. Where I can find the download repository?
thanks

I'm encoutering this issue with a Galaxy S2 GT-I9100 (Intl).
The phone randomly got into a bootloop by itself, and since then I could never boot it up. I managed to miraculously boot it once or twice, but then after awhile it went back into bootloop. I can get into download mode/recovery, but the problem is in recovery I am UNABLE TO SELECT anything. Tried power button/home button to select, I can't. Volume buttons work fine.
Here's what I've tried (in no particular order):
Installed Philz CWM touch to do the wipe
Flashed CM10.1.3 / CM10.2
Flashed CWM 6.0.2.9 as recommended on the CM thread (The buttons work fine with this)
Flashed Stock ROM (I9100DXLSD Singapore Stardhub)
Flashed Siyah Kernel and tried to wipe
Another problem is that everytime I flashed CM, the recovery gets overwritten by CWM 6.0.3.8 regardless of the type of recovery I am using at that point. When this happens I am UNABLE TO SELECT anything. Appreciate if anyone has any ideas. Thanks!
Urgently need help here. Nobody? D:
Try to use the odin to flash the kernel use dorimanx (9.xx is for aokp, cm... and the 8.xx is for stock sammy) flash that and do a full wipe with it, download a ROM and go to mount and storage in cwm and mount usb so that you can put the ROM on the phone. Now go to mounts and storage again and format system, (dont reboot after format system, AFTER YOU FLASH THE ROM REBOOT), then flash it.
Ask if you need something more!

Thank you for the response.
I tried the method but it doesn't seem to work. I managed to boot the phone though, strange way of doing it. All I had to do, was hold the the power button until about 3 seconds into the boot animation (the spinning Cyanogenmod, or the one with the Samsung signature tone), and the phone will boot up.
Once again CM went ahead and overwrote my recovery, bringing it back to the recovery that I cannot use. I'd like to know how I can replace this recovery with a touch one. Flashing say Philz touch recovery using Odin will render the phone unable to boot. Even flashing CWM 6.0.2.9 as recommended by the CM team (the one that prevents MMC-SUPERBRICK) will not allow me to boot the phone.
Also ROM Manager wouldn't let me flash a touch recovery unless I give them some money. Any other method to flash a touch recovery?
The Philz kernel is for sammy roms only I think. Did you do a wipe with a script https://db.tt/42o0ebwz . Just run it in cwm and you can try and flash the kernel through cwm again. Report back.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Yes you're right it's for Sammy ROMs I missed that part out, my bad.
BTW what do I do with the script? I've never used it before.
You flash it before flashing a new ROM. It basically removes parts of the phone that they maybe can make some isues with the ROM that you are flashing.

With regards to recovery it's not that important since the phone works now more or less.

Sorry for taking awhile to reply. The wipe script doesn't seem to work, but it's alright.
Now I've got another question. Is there any way to add a power menu tile to quick settings so I can access the power menu to shut down the phone since the power button doesn't respond on mine. (I can turn on the phone, but it doesn't respond to anything else) I can't find any threads that provide such a mod, and can't be sure if AOKP has it 'cause I can't find a list of features for quick settings.
Something like what you see here. Can't seem to find any hint of him sharing it anywhere.
Apps that provide power menu functionality seems to freeze the phone upon shutdown, so they don't work. I'm trying to see if I can shut down the phone with the "official" shut down menu.
i installed cm13 custom rom in my s3 then with twrp. it worked fine then i factory reset my phone then it starts with twrp screen and screen flashes and again twrp screen comes(screen with twrp written not options).i can just go to odin mode. what to do now
please help!!!!!
Never factory reset from a custom ROM. It is recommended to do it from recovery. Your reset has wiped too much including important parts of the OS. Flash another copy again.

Thanks for ur concern but i cannot open my recovery it is just teamwin written on screen any other method plse describe.
Maybe it is just loading? If after waiting for 5 mins. can you enter recovery? If not can you enter download mode? If yes then download a copy of the stock rom from here and flash it via ODIN.
