I think you better keep an eye on the thread you mentioned earlier. The rommaker is working on it apparently.

Any more details?
Such as exact phone model (GT-I9100/T/M/...), firmware version (ROM/PDA/kernel), what rooting method have you used, etc.
If you can boot into download mode (Volume Down + Home + Power), then you can flash another kernel (such as CF-Root) with Odin to your phone.
Good luck !
GT-I9100 thats the only thing i know. i cant even open the phone only (Volume Down + Home + Power) is working i tried that but is not working. i used kernel method i tried almost ever thing but nothing works. im from asia

That happened to me. Make sure you do the volume down+ home+ power right to enter the download mode, then flash the CF or Siyah kernel with Odin v1.7 (not v1.85).
See if it boots from there. You may need to flash some firmware (PDA) with Odin once you see it boots.
Good luck
Thanks man its working now

"Nothing happened" is not useful. Let me know the exact error and how is your phone working right now (booting, not booting...)
what Kernel did you flash?

Hey... i have the same problem as the first guy.
Next i tried the odin 1.7 but nothing it's allways the same.

Let's go slow.
You managed to flash something via ODIN? Or it failed?
Since you rooted it (same as first guy), I guess it flashed so Odin detects the phone and is able to flash, right?
Explain the exact problem. What are you trying to flash?
Try downloading Siyah kernel for Odin, or Dream kernel for Odin to flash it and make it boot. If not, download an official firmware and try.
Anyway, reply the 2 bold questions.

Ok, if it flashes, it's good.
If you have a i9100 (not a i9100G or whatever), flash this http://buildenv.dream-irc.com/android/?nav=display&file=63 via Odin and boot.

May I ask what did you do to root before it froze?
It's weird, but at least it flashes, so you still can flash an stock firmware to get back your phone.
Maybe this one (4.0.3 so you stay away from emmc harrd-brick bug and don't blame me in case it bricked) http://www.hotfile.com/dl/161662205/363dea0/I9100UHLPS_I9100AROLP4_ARO.zip.html
Good luck
what else can i do?
By the way, now that you have Dream kernel, try booting in recovery (turn it off, then volume up + home + power hold until it gets on, then release power until you get to recovery)

You didn't mess up with a i9100 ROM instead of i9100G ROM or kernel for rooting, did you?
When did it freeze. After rooting (you made sure it booted afterwards?) or after Jelly Bean installation?

Congrats you have flashed wrong kernal..
Now do one thing..
Go to gokhanmoral. Com
If you were running ics download 4.1.5 odin flash able tar file.. Flash throw odin.
If you were on gb download and flash 2.3.5 tar file...
If this doesnt work you need to flash stock rom via odin from sammobile.com for your country..
Make sure you have mobile version GT I9100 AND NOT GT I9100G...

I installed the jelly bean supernexus (i19100) rom but i forgot to wipe before doing it
after it installed, i wiped and it just stuck and rebooted and the phone wouldnt turn on
so, i used odin to flash the stock bell samsung rom and now the it gets stuck at the logo
Further research led me to this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1760107. Would it help? I have no idea what LQ5/LPM is.

Nope, same thing, it gets stuck at Formatting data.... and then after a while (~7-10min) reboots and gets stuck at the logo.
I researched some more and found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1760107. But I don't know what LQ5, LPM is. Would it help?
LQ5 and LPM are the frimware versions ... From what I can tell, Jelly Bean SuperNexus ROM is LPX. Although the problem you describe and the problem the thread you linked sound pretty much the same, at this point I don't think that you have much to lose here.
Before you do, was Odin successfully able to flash the stock ROM on there, or did it fail? If you're not sure, try again and take note. If it was successful, it sounds like your problem might be slightly different from what is described in the linked thread you posted. If it wasn't, then I'd say you don't really have much to lose by trying it out. Your phone is currently useless, if you try the fix in that thread and it doesn't work, it's still useless and you're in the same place you are now... Although there is a small possibility that that place my be a little more permanent...

Yes, I flashed the stock ROM twice and Odin (v1.85) said it was succesful both times. I only set the PDA (with the rom) and left everything else (PIT, CSC, etc) blank and I made sure re-partition was unchecked.
Thanks for responding!
ok, now i cant get into recovery, it says in red text "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again." There is a pic of a red android with a exclamation sign. I can boot into download mode but wheneever i try to flahs something from keys it gets stuck at setupconnection....

Ok, lol, now I can flash again. I have a question: to flash a PIT file (the one I found in OP) do you have to tick re-partition or leave it unchecked?
Also, I still cant wipe data (it gets stuck at:
formating /data....
for a looooooooooong time and then reboots.
I have a trouble the same with interioralligator. are you sovle it? Please for me a solution for this case. Thanks

[Solved] Firwmware Update has Encountered an Issue

Here's the story. I finally updated through Kies Air to 4.0.4 on my Samsung Galaxy S2 SGH-I7777. Internet went down for about a minute and the download failed. The screen "Firmware Update encountered an issue" is stuck on my phone.
HERE'S THE PROBLEM.
I tried to Odin a new, official ROM but it keeps failing. I also tried an older rom. I have the official Samsung binary, and I have tried 2 official roms.
I am quite scared. What do I do?
EDIT: Fixed! I had to take out my battery and update ODIN. Packet went through and updated.
First thing you should do it's ask a mod to move this thread to your forum.
And don't panic, you're gonna be just fine.

Do a full wipe (data, dalvik, cache) in recovery mod and re install a new rom. Try it
Update: I got to download mode with my battery out and flashed an official firmware. In ODIN it gets to about 85% then FAILS.
Also, to get to recovery mode on the SGS2UCLK3 SGH-I777 is VOLUME UP+HOME+POWER correct? Thanks for the help.
How come this thread is still here?

Stuck at Recovery and can't boot android

So I just installed the 0.2.3 cm 12 beta rom on and since I was giving my galaxy light to a friend I decided to do a factory reset so when I did that the phone rebooted and now its stuck at the twrp recovery splashscreen. I've already tried rebooting and re-flashing twrp but no luck. Could it be a cache problem or something? Thanks to all in advance who reply.

Im guessing you wiped device and if you go into recovery and try to reboot system it will tell you no os installed if that is the case you can plug device into computer and still use twrp as file manager thats if you had a backup stored on desktop or drag a CM zip to device .
other method of course would be to enter download mode and use odin to flash stock firmware for your device not sure if you have t399 or the N varient lastest beening OH2/OH3 you can find that in my filehost i have stock odin zips to flash.

I used the download from this guide by ShabbyPenguin: http://androidforums.com/threads/guide-restore-your-galaxy-light-to-stock-mja.846767/
Hey guys...I did the same thing but my t399 must have lost battery charge because when I picked it back up, it was dead...I plugged in and it started flashing the Samsung screen slowly at me. It would not reboot. I did get download and twrp to show up and start to atleast work enough to flash and Odin again...I used Shabby's kernel source and it is still doing the same thing after flashing through Odin. Still stuck on Samsung screen slowly flashing and recovery shows no operating system. I'm about to put it back in a drawer but I feel it's so close that I had to ask for help. I flashed shabby work to root and recovery. I flashed twrp 2.7 and the cm12 beta rom. Then back to shabby guide to get it to recognize, it did..kind of..but still boot looped. Flashed 3 times... No changes. Can anyone help or is it time for a staircase? hA!
Oh yes .. I don't think the battery is bad.. I checked it with a meter and it reads voltage. It does get pretty hot while I'm working on it though and my pc shows its charged at 100% but the phone doesn't show that...it stays in like dead mode. Nit recognizing again. Anybody have suggestions? In recovery it also indicated it can not locate most of my files in read after I flash.. what am I doing wrong.
sgh-399n bootloop
It's taken me 2 months to cry for help. I'm not a complete noobie, but I'm completely exhausted. First of all, one morning I woke up and I thought that somehow my battery was dead. It wasn't. Eventually, I found it in a bootloop. This phone was working fine, running a "Tiger_Lilly" ROM the night before. I've tried everything using Odin, adb and fastboot (I'm not sure how to get the phone in fastboot mode and also, before using Odin, TWRP wouldn't mount/data.) I'm stumped. Would appreciate some help, thank you.

What was you using prior to it bootlooping and what rom was installed have you modifed anything else such as partions etc...
also list your method and link rom your trying. just wondering if its the lastest version for device. while in odin also make sure Auto Reboot” and “F. Reset Time is only selected and what version of odin are you using?
If your unable to flash any rom thru odin then there must be a major problem else where until we can narrow it down no one can assist you.
hi good morning, i actually dont know the prior version of the SW, i am using the available version on sammobile of the sw and i am trying odin to flash, ive already used odin 3.8 and 3.9 and the one that said it is configured to this phone in the thread.
