Then you have obviously flashed a incompatible version or kernel. You will need to be more specific about how you flashed and what you flashed.
If download/recovery are working simply flash a compatible kernel. Kernels come with cwm.

I'm a noobie, the only thing I did is simply put the phone in download mode and installed clockworkmode recovery 5.5.0.4.
How can I check which kernel is compatible with my phone?

Boot into download mode and then flash Siyah kernel v4 or v5 should be fine, then after flashing kernel reboot into recovery and flash the rom zip of your choice.

+1 Siyah will do the job.
Be careful to flash the right version of rom for your phone :fingers-crossed:

Try flashing the kernel again after you flash the rom

Well that doesn't make sense lol. Your device is suppose to boot into the main menu and not CWM when flashing a rom and kernel. Are you saying it gets stuck when you go into CWM after boot? Anyways try going back to stock. Then open up the recovery (the regular android recovery) and wipe data/factory reset, and wipe cache partition. Then flash the kernel first, and then the rom. If it still gets stuck reflash only the kernel (without going back to stock).
I believe you can If the rom allows you to swap boot animations. I know on the 4.0 with the IcyFusion rom the creator was using the galaxy nexus boot animation, so I don't see why you couldn't use the G S i9000 animation.
One more thing are you using the 4.0, or 5.0?

So you can get into the main screen of your device, well at least we know it isn't bricked. Have you tried flashing a different kernel and it just does the same thing? Futhermore what rom and kernel are you using, and what player do you have (US, International, Eur).
i was trying all steves and terrasilent kernels and they all stuck on cwm... now i'm using stock rom with stock kernel becose it's the only way to keep my device running wihout stuck on cwm i have galaxy player 4.0 international

Well that sucks lol. Did you double check to make sure you where downloading the right kernel and rom for your device? And did you try reflashing the kernel again with the custom rom already installed? Like Flash the kernel, then flash the rom, then flash the kernel again because sometimes the kernel gets *overwritten* <-- is what I say, and you just have to reflash it again.
yes i'm sure i was tryning to reflash kernel again but still the same sh** hapens...

Don't panic,follow the steps:
1-Root e recovery with cf-root
2-download rom ( zip.packages) If you see any error messages or the procedure stops, then the packet of cooked rom may be corrupted.
Re-download and re-install from the beginning..
3-If the first boot takes more than 20-30 minutes, manually restart the phone by removing the battery or by pressing and holding for 10 seconds the power button.
If the problem persists, perform a hard reset .
4-If the phone restarts all the time, back in recovery mode and re-install, also performing the hard reset.
5-If your phone will not boot up, go into download mode and try to install a firmware via odin, performing a hard reset.
i tried installing a stock rom then flashing over that i have installed a ics one and jb one...didn't work...the problem is not with the booting itself but with the flashing like i said every rom flashes in like 5 seconds...it tells me it;s done and everything went fine but when i reboot i can't get past the samsung logo before the boot animation, so practically the rom doesn't flash...i dont know why...odin works great....but i can't flash through CWM. I wanted to try TWRP recovery also but i can't seem to find one for the international version of SGS3...Please help:crying:
Flash via recovery requires CF Root ,
ROOT
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1684535
Odin flash is much longer than 5 seconds and short flash is probably wrong file /faulty file .

i have flashed cf root after flashing stock roms both jb and ics and it didint work...i tried to flash like 7 different roms in ics both based on jellybean and ics...i wiped all everytime...

I really don't think the ROM caused your recovery to not work correctly. Have you tried a different recovery, likE https://play.google.com/store/apps/...DEsImNvbS5mcmFnZ2VsLnJlY292ZXJ5ZXhlY3V0ZXIiXQ..

Use a different/older recovery..if you are using touch version use the non-touch version of vice-versa..just flash the recovery tar file in Odin..

There is some protection with some cwm that allow script only with ROM Manager
as you can see there is no error in the log, so i can't do nothing.
Now try to ADB Push a ROM to your phone.....

Hey, I'll explain you what I did ;
After I rooted my device, I booted the device and it worked. After that, I installed CWM, tried to turn on the device and it doesnt work! stuck on boot animation..
Soo...I downloaded SiyahKernel which is the most basic and for major users kernel. You can download it here :
http://www.gokhanmoral.com/?cat=5
You install ODIN on your PC, open it, and click on PDA and open the kernel you downloaded(siyah kernel), you put your device on Download Mode (you press volume down, home, and power button. you will see the download mode screen, it will ask you to press volume up or volume down, PRESS THE VOLUME UP! THIS IS THE ONLY WAY ODIN WILL FIND YOUR DEVICE!). And than on Odin you press start. Hope it helped

1) Are you sure it is for GT-S5830i? But first, are you sure that your device is an Ace-i?
2) Which kernel is it? You need to know whether it is for stock-based ROMs or for CM7.2 ROMs.
3) Download mode is more important. Can you access it with volume down + home + power?

Since you can enter the Recovery Mode, just flash any custom rom. Make sure to do Wipe data/ factory reset, Wipe cache partitions, Mounts & Storage> Format /system and Advanced> Wipe dalvik cache from CWM before you flash a rom. That should solve it. If that doesn't work, then flash the stock rom back using odin from the Download Mode. Do post the result. Hope I Helped

Bootloop S5389i
Hi there, i recently tried to install a custom rom on my ace s5839i but got stuck on the 'Galaxy Ace GT-S5389i' splash screen. I then managed to get it into download mode and install the stock ROM using odin. the process completes on the computer but on the phone it says 'failed to mount /data' and gets stuck in a new bootloop now between the 'SAMSUNG' and Vodafone logo. is there anything i can do about this? thanks in advance

G920F soft bricked

Hello
I have had a look around the forum and i can't seem to find my answer.
I tried to install CrissCross 6.01, all was good untill it got stuck in a boot loop due to an issue with the kernal. I can't get into recovery and wipe the device.
I have tried to use a stock rom, but would i be correct in saying that because the boot loader has been updated to 6.0 I can't use a 5.1.1 recovery?
I have been trying to fix this for 3 days now with no luck, if anyone has any idea what i can do I would really appreciate it.
Thanks

I can get into download and that is where I have tried a few different stock Roms
The error I get is SV Rev. Check Fail Device : 3 Binary :1 in Odin and from my understanding that is because I'm trying to use a rom that is trying to downgrade the boot loader
I think I need a 6.0 stock rom for this to work but I are t sure
Edit one more thing that confuses me is it will let me flash a 5.1.1 twrp but it still won't let me into recovery.
Thanks
Have you tried to flash bootloader / kernel via Odin?
Try to flash older TWRP, also, via Odin then try to flash 5.1.1.
I'm not 100% sure but I doubt you can flash 5.x.x ROMs from newest TWRP.
Try few things with older recovery and kernel, that shoud wake the device.
As long as you can access download mod you can save your device.

I have only flashed twrp in download mode not touched any kernels. I thought you could only flash a kernel I twrp that's why
Do you have any suggestions as to which kernel and twrp ?
I had same problem yesterday..
I flashed CrisCros ROM for S6 edge and bump into bootloop.
I just restarted device to download mode, flash kernel via Odin (in BL) and all went well.
You have kernel in OP of CrisCross ROM, that's 6.0.1 kernel, flash it and twrp via Odin, restart to recovery and flash ROM.
That should be enough and your device should boot.
You see, there's no bricked device as long as you can flash, fastboot or sideload something to you device..
