Fellow S3 users,
I am hopeless because i try almost everything but 1 problem remains.
PROBLEM: Phone doesn't react after screen is of for 5 sec. (And when i reboot the samsung animation hangs just a little bit)
''Did some heavy benchmarks to see if is going to freeze but they run as they should no problem at all''
What i did try to solve:
- Wipe/Factory
- Wipe Cache
- Wipe Dalvik
- Wipe Batt Stats
- Mega Wipe (app)
- Format cache/system/preload/data/sdcard
- Flash different Roms Stock 4.0.4, 4.1.1, 4.1.2
- Flashed 4.0.4 and did a OTA to 4.1
- CM 10
- Darkys
- Omega
- Foxhound
- Revolution
And i did this over and over again.
Wiped everything for over 15 times
Flashed roms for over 15 times
ATM i am on the Dutch Stock 4.1 that i updated trough OTA
But there has to be something stuck on the system??? Or is it a hardware problem (buttons work fine don't hang)
If someone is able to give me the right instructions to solve this problem then i am prepaired to donate some money to buy some hamburgers or beers. :good:

Try to bring it back to stock (official firmware) and see if the problem is still there. Flash original Samsung firmware via Odin.

Did you used Odin when you flashed the official firmware? My point is to bring it back to stock, unrooted and locked.

When you bought your s3, did it have that problem or was it after you began flashing that it occurred.
You mentioned that your on Dutch stock now. Did you note were your original firmware was from, like typing *#1234#, would give you values for AP, CP and CSC.
I mean the values for *#1234# just before you did any flashing or update.
My point is maybe, originally the firmware was from a different region as compared to what is on it now even though it is stock. Bring it to the original firmware region. If you did that also, I guess I am stuck also. Hope someone can help you.
Like my s3, originally its firmware was from region Kenya. Updated official firmware but chose a new region.

Thanks for help but i thought about that .. i flashed different roms including my own country and others.
20 dollar for every tip that leads to the solution :silly:
With help of great developers, i use android terminal emulator and put wakelock on... now the phone is not rebooting but how can i see the cause of the problem now?
Why don't you unroot and triangle away to reset flash counter and take it back for warranty

Guys, I tired to flash the s3 look and feel rom from the galasy s2 android development theard on my s2 and now it wont swtich on. It will boot in download mode but no recovery. when I connect it to power, the battery icon only comes on once and then it switches off. Sometimes the screen starts flashing.
Could someone kindly advise how can I get around this?
Thanks in advance
Hi,
If the phone boots only into download mode, that's still a good sign. Just use the Odin tool and flash the new ROM. I know that doesn't help but need to stay calm and find the proper images.

You've obviously flashed it incorrectly or onto a incompatible rom or device variant. Next time read before flashing.
thanks guys,
do I flash a new kernel using odin? if yes, which one?
Thanks again.
Any one you want. Download a stock ICS or GB ROM from sammobile.com, and flash through Odin. Lucky you didn't brick your device, READ TWICE, FLASH ONCE.
Chris.
You should also confirm what model phone you have. Look on the label under the battery. What does it say for model?
flashing the stock firmware is the best option .. that solved my problem in the past .
flash the stock rom using odin . That is the best way to revive a bricked phone .
Oh good lord I hope this guy actually has an i9100.
I do have s2 i900. I am downloading I9100XXLPH.zip as per http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1457458
Is this ok? or do I need stock rom/kernel? if yes, could you advise where I could get that from?
Thanks

Hi,
I was on omega v11 and then i flashed on top without a wipe v14 Jelly bean and now i am not getting any signal.
I reported it on the forum and i was told that my imei number has been changed and it has , and i don't have a backup of the efs folder either.
So i was wondering has anyone faced the same sue and was able to resolve it to restore my imei? I got told to send it back to Samsung for repair, i am considering it but it could take up to weeks with them.
I have also had a look at this but i think it is for international version of the s3 ?

Thanks in advance
Don't you think that as you have flashed it, at least twice, it might make Samsung laugh at you if you send it for repair, warranty or not? Here in the UK it's illegal to try and change your IMEI...
Z.
Have you tried flashing back to ics? I know this happened on the S1 and for some flashing original firmware fixed it.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
If you have no backup of your imei then basically you are screwed and need to pay Samsung for recovery since loosing an important folder when flashing something that voids your warranty is not covered under it.
You could try using Triangle Away and then going back to stock to send it in to Samsung, claiming that Kies or a phone reboot did this. It seems to happen sometimes so Samsung can not prove you wrong unless you screw up

He's talking about the Omega V14 rom (based on the JB leak from 14/08/2012). It uses the Aroma installer and features an EFS backup button during installation. Too bad he didn't use it
I dint know anything about the efs until after it happened to me
i tried to to go back to original software official, and i used triangle away and i got binary Samsung official and software status custom and then I went into odin and flashed the stock Samsung rom and everything went well until after the reboot, then my phone stayed on the Samsung boot logo and now it's stock and then i went into download mode to look at me status and it was still the same binary Samsung offical and software status custom

Yes, but any recovery will do for factory-reset. (There are others than CWM)
ok let me see if I got the instructions correct
download the fw from sammobile, the stock one
flash through odin
if stuck on samsung screen, access to recovery (missing how)
wipe data

to boot into recovery, whatever recovery it is either stock or CWM.
turn off the phone ( if it does not turn off by on/off button, just pull the battery and leave it out for 5 seconds),
press and hold with this order: volume up+ home button+ on/off(power button) and keep pressing until the logo. release power button and keep pressing the other buttons.
wipe data + cache + dalvik cache. reboot

well we downgrade in order to go back to LG8 and install a new OTA, even though we are using OTA's if we have (i.e) LI5 we cannot update to LI9 unless we're on LG8 which is the base, also for warranty purposes hehehe

This is because you flashed a wrong kernel for your phone.
# Quick question:
Is your phone on Gingerbread, Android 2.3.x or ICS (Ice Cream Sandwich), Android 4.0.x?
# If your phone is on ICS, then download and flash this kernel via Odin: www.gokhanmoral.com/public/files/siyahkernel/v3.0/Siyah-v3.5.2.tar

I have the I9100BVLPH stock ROM from T-Mobile UK on my phone so I downloaded the correct Chain Fire kernel (CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_LPH-v5.2-CWM5.tar) from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399 and this caused the phone not to boot.
Thanks for the link to Siyah, I used the v4.1.5 kernel and it worked great.
Hello there.
I'm in a bit of a trouble so I need some help. I've bought an S2 for my wife from a guy (in Ireland).
The phone was locked on Vodafone so I tried to root it maybe I'll be lucky to unlock it with out paying nothing. So, the phone is on Gingerbread with a BUKJ3 kernel. I've downloaded last night a CF root but by mistake I took a KG3 instead of KJ3. After flashing with Odin 1.85 I got stuck on the boot screen with the yellow triangle.
This morning I've downloaded another kernel as in KJ3 flashed with Odin, the phone is starting but no network coverage, I tried with different Sim cards but nothing so I went in recovery mode and wipe/format data, system, dalvik and cache as factory reset as well. Since that moment the phone won't boot, it gets stuck on the boot screen and yellow triangle.
I can go in recovery mode and download mode with no problem but I can't make it start.
I reflashed the kernel, I don't know what to do and tomorrow is my wife's birthday and I was trying to surprise her with a nice phone but instead looks like she is gonna get a brick ( I hope not)
Thank you guys for any help.

Thank you for the reply. I don't mean any disrespect but for the last 3 hours I'm looking over kernels and forum and my brain is really wired now maybe.
I've had a look at sammobile but I can't find what you've recommended. A more specific link will be more than helpful.
Thank you very much anyway. If I'm getting advises it means I didn't bricked the phone so I might be able to fix it.
Once again thank you.
You just go to sammobile,then register,then firmware and files,then put the info in the 4 fields
eg
Smartphone
Android
Gt-i9100
Then uk/ire XEU (or vodafone or whatever..but unbranded better)
Then youll see a list about firmware version and their release date
Eg
Lpt 4.0.4 ics jul 2012
Lp7 4.0.3 ics apr 2012
So download lp7 4.0.3 and flash with odin.
Then use the rooting guide in my sig
Then do the other things I said.

Thank you very much. In the mean while I've managed to find exactly what you've said in your answer. I've choose the gingerbread version of the ROM cause that was what the phone had when I've bought it.
SO, now is it safe to go on ICS like I did half an hour ago with that Gingerbread rom?
Thank you and sorry about the noob question, never used an Samsung, only HTC.

So try that or theres a thread about "restore imei in 9 easy steps".

I know I was stupid enough not to read before flashing, but now it too late to think about that.
the thing is I've never used a galaxy phone until these days and I wasn't aware of all this things and I don't know how to restore this NAND backup IF I have one, as I didn't make any backup before flushing. I hope I'll get some help from somebody and as I've said, a nice donation will be on the way to the helper.
Try GSII repair app.But you have to be rooted.
Hi all
I've had a custom root and rom on my s2
I've since reset and odined a new rom into it that didn't seem to work (boot looped) so I installed what I thought was a stock one vod uk)
Anyway, this hasn't worked as it now gets stuck booting on the s2 screen
Not sure what to do... my root (0yellow triangle) has disappeared so I can't install a custom rom and I don't know the csc (or whatever it It is) as I'm guessing the stock rom I put on was not exactly the same as the one that came on it originally?
Bit confused how I get it back now
Thanks

To help you out more information is needed - exact phone type, what was your previous ROM, what ROM you flashed, etc..
Can you go to Download Mode? (home + power + volume down)
If you can, download the right ROM and flash it with Odin.

Yes i can get into download mode but I don't know what to flash to it,I've tried 2 different ones which I thought we're stock ones but clearly not as the phone doesn't accept it, I've tried 2 different Vodafone UK ones but don't know the exact build what was on itoriginally as I got it with a custom rom when I bought it
Thanks

Still unclear what is your phone model. Is it I9100, I9100G or even HD LTE?
According to this you must choose a proper ROM for your device. If it`s wrong you will get soft brick.

It must be written on your first boot screen, lowest line - on mine I have I9100.
Its even written on a big sticker under the battery.

Hi
It's gt i9100
Can you point me in the direction of a rom that will work? Do I need to find a way of clearing the cache as well or should a simple reinstall fix it?
Thank you
Go to sammobile and get a stock rom from there......fill in the 4 boxes to pinpoint which ones you can try.Avoid the 4.0.4 one lol.
Then read tutorial about using odin properly on here.
