Hi, because I am unable to post on the thread itself, I have to post here.
I just flashed pandoriam V5, selected every option as 'JB themed', and when I reboot, its stuck at Samsung logo. Thankfully, I backed up in nandroid and I'm still able to use! Help?
Sorry mod, I posted in the wrong Q&A, suppose to be for the i9305. Please move it. Thanks!

which model do u have? 9300 or 9305, if u can reboot to recovery u can flash ur backup, and u would most probably know this but the first boot after flashing a rom will take some time.

It shouldn't be faulty, downloaded it with flashget. it doesn't say any error when flashing.

I followed the guide in the '[READ THIS]' thread and flashed a stock rom (i already tried about 10 different roms), but i still get a boot loop.
As i can enter the recovery and download mode without a problem and there never seems to be an error message after flashing i don't think that there is something wrong with the hardware.
Does anyone have an idea what i could do?
Also i somewhere read that you can fix pretty much any problem by using a riffbox.
Does any of you guys have any experience with that thing/ know if that could probably fix my problem?

Not necessarily.
Similar thing happened to me with KI8.
Was all good on KG1.
Flashed intratechs KI8 all good.
Flashed cfroot for KI8 had to factory reset to get root to work.
All was good at this point.
Flashed siyah 1.8 kernel all good.
CWM backuped.
CWM flashed % battery mod and stuck on Samsung logo at boot.
CWM restore still stuck at Samsung logo at boot.
Tried lots of things to fix but no go.
CWM restore of KG1 and all good again.
Still trying to work out what went wrong and will post the fix when/if I find out.

Ok download mode it's good, flash stock GB ROM, than the wipe code, *2767*3855#
It should wipe now. After that flash the cfroot the newest one, don't have to be your version , when it reboots go to recovery, it will be new recovery now, 5. **
From there format system partition plus all other usual wipes.
Now go to download mode again and flash the stock GB or ICS ROM and wipe with code one last time. You should be fine now.

this problem happened after i flashed slim ics rom yesterday 29-4-2012 on my i9100. the main problem behind it is that i'm not able to factory reset the phone.
whenever i try to factory reset my phone in cwm mode or recovery mode,my phone hangs.
i can format my phone through system /format.
i can wipe cache ,dalvik cache and battery stats.

i can format ,mount ,unmount anything on phone but i cant format the user data or do a factory reset while doing that my phone hangs.

wel u have a soft brick ma8 dont panic just dwnl a odin flashable stock GB rom and install the same
after that search the forum under samsung gs2 how 2 root ur phone with stock gb fallow the instructions and root ur phone
then select the ics rom like lightening rom and flash thru odin
every thing will be fine
Reading the post, seems like OP did flash a stock file (although ICS, not GB).
2 dumb questions just to confirm. You have the i9100? not the i9100G? Also have you waited a certain amount of time after you flashed those roms? It can take up to a couple minutes for it to first boot.
If above are fine, (you have i9100, and you waited a long time and it was still stuck on i9100 screen)

Factory reset is not required after flashing a rom .
You load rom via Odin it finishes install and then reboots itself .
You load rom via CWM and it goes to reboot screen yes and phone reboots .
As said a stock gb rom flashed via Odin preferably after a format of system data and cache should be your first step .
jje
i did that.

Looks like you have siyah rc6. Make sure it's not from the 21st, iirc.
Don't factory reset just to be safe.. Restore your nandroid if possible and change to a later version.
Hope all goes well

yup i had siyah 3.1rc6 on my phone.
i tried to restore my nandroid backup but there is no effect on my problem.
how to know weather emmc is fine or currupted?
Try to mount it in CWM and connect it in linux computer and run fsck to check the eMMC. Windows chkdsk is no good.
And please try to remember, did you do this step: flash bad siyah rc6 then wipe/factory reset and get stuck?
if not, then the problem is different from those who flash bad rc6 (which is removed now and siyah is safe)
any thing is not working.
in every thread its written that if my phone goes in download mode and recovery mode then its soft bricked but then how can i unbrick my phone?
or is there any hardware problem?
i can mount and unmount every thing in recovery mode
i can format every thing but only user data cannot be formated,when ever i format/data or factory reset the phone hangs.
is there any other way of hard resetting i9100.?other than cwm recovery?
Have you tried flashing with the .PIT? I doubt it'll work, since other people also tried it, but it's worth a shot.

3.wipe cache
4.advanced/wipe dalvik cache
5.mounts and storage
6.format system
7.format data
8.format cache
9.format preload
10.install rom
11.wipe data/factory reset
12.wipe cache
13.advanced.wipe dalvik cache
14.reboot system
after doing the above step , i can install the Neat ROM perfectly.
Skip 3,7,8,11 no need but the rest is standard
today my battery went down to zero and then my phone stuck on the menu screen.
i rebooted but then my phone got stucked on the samsung galaxy 3 logo.
i tryed to wipe files and catche but it didnt helped,
i tryed to install the ROM again but it didnt helped...
i can get to the recovery and download mode, but my phone still stuck on the stuped logo...
what to do?
sry if i have spelling mistakes...
You have corrupted one or more partitions, try a factory reset after flashing your custom rom again.
If that doesn't work then use Odin to flash a stock firmware, then factory reset.

Means you screwed the efs partition when flashing an incompatible modem with your efs version.
If you flashed a 4.1.2 firmware and got that error, try and flash a mg4 or above modem to see if it gets solved. Or flash a 4.3 firmware altogether.
Read rootSU post on efs, it's a must.
Of you ever backed up your efs or used twrp recovery to make a nandroid backup (which also backs up efs) you might get it back by restoring it.
Otherwise, a patched kernel, modem or ariza patch would be the last available choice before sending to repair.

I mean, go to the stickies in the general section and read. They're there for a reason, including steps before rooting, flashing, information on the efs partition, and pretty much everything else you could have done to avoid the situation you're facing right now.
