I tried to root my S3 (i9300) that I just bought from a friend with a custom ROM and it got bricked. After following most of the guides from similar threds, I was able to make the boot screen appear but now it won't get past that!!!
it shows an error at the top left conner in green color reading as follow: jump kernel
can anyone kindly advise me or guide me to how I can make the phone work again?
If it had a custom rom then it was already rooted. Follow the guide in general forum to flash back to stock rom via odin on your pc. If you can access download mode (from off hold volume down, home then power button until the Samsung logo appears) then thus should work.
Make sure you read and fully understand what you are doing otherwise you'll end up with a full brick.

This is my first post on this forum and very new to rom-ing, so I'm sorry if I didn't post it in the right section, but I was trying to rom cyanogen mod on my Samsung Captivate by using Rom Manager. I had rooted my phone and it was also running 2.1.
I followed all the instructions from the forums on how to install a rom step by step, but as soon as the phone rebooted, my phone has been stuck on the model number screen with the Samsung logo on the bottom and its been about more than an hour that it hasn't moved.
So, now I m not sure if i should take out my battery and and go into recovery, or it will totally brick the phone because i have no idea if it is bricked or not. I also made a Nandroid Backup before this, so I was wondering if i can just take the battery off and go into recovery mode and do a restore?
If someone could help me, please let me know as soon as possible, and thank you in advance!
Update: I tried pulling the battery, and booting into recovery mode, but the start up screen just keeps flashing when I hold on to the 3 button combo. And when I don't, it just stays on the logo screen.
If you have a backup,restore! If u havent a back up: Flash a stock rom via flash tools...
thank you !
Thanks for taking your time to reply back ! and after searching and reading more, I plan to re flash back to the stock rom . Thank you !

You need to download files to use for your specific phone and try again. You said you have a GT-I9100G, right? Well, where did you get the files you used to root?
You also said in the title of this post that you installed XXKI3. Well, installing XXKI3 and rooting are not the same thing. Which did you do? Root using an insecure kernel? Or install an XXKI3 firmware?
I'm going to go ahead and guess that you tried to flash a firmware intended for the regular GT-I9100, and not the GT-I9100G. These two phones have different hardware, so firmwares are NOT compatible.
Amirite?
first I tried to root it using insecure kernel...when it got stuck with galaxy s 2 logo screen with yellow triangle.... I searched all over the net for a solution and one of the solutions was is to flash xxki3 ....and I did that.... but it always fail.... I also tried to flash litening rom... but at the end...it fails at MODEM stage i believe....
Now all i want is to get my phone working....I dont wanna root it anymore....
please guys please help me
Stop flashing it.
You are doing more damage.
You have the 9100G, but you're flashing 9100 stuff
I am not flashing it anymore.... but I need a solution.... I want to know how can I get it back up and running
please help me

Please guys, can anyone help me with a solution here ? I installed a theme which was unknown to me, not meant for the custom rom i was using, it did make the device unstable, then later, i got it back working, but now, each time i switch it on, on the welcome screen that displays " Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1" there is a yellow triangle with the sign " ! " inside of the yellow triangle, below the " Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1" welcome message, anyone got an idea what it is and how to get rid of it ? Please i really need your help here guy. I couldn't take screen shots but i will use a phone later. Ok i managed to attach the icon i see the " Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1" welcome message when loading the OS.
If you have access to download mode, then use Odin and revert back to stock. Your title of your thread should be changed to , you bricked your tab not the theme.
If your not sure how to use Odin or where to get a stock file then read through this thread.

I used Odin to flash stock but it wouldn't go out, i have flashed stock recovery several times, any more idea what to do please ?
yes. the theme didnt soft brick your tab. you did. and you do need to flash to stock with odin to get rid of that triangle. you said you did that and it didn't "go out"??? what is that supposed to mean dude? you need to flash to stock.
My Galaxy S2 suddenlz got stuck on the boot screen that gives the name and model number and since then has been on the same screen. I have never rooted the phone so thats not the problem. I can however enter download mode so I was wondering if there was a way that i could maybe flash a rom onto it, I've never done this before and could not get it to work by following the tutorial on cyanogenwiki.
any help would be much appreciated to revive my gs2
Thread stickied near the top of Q&A showing you how to flash stock rom with Odin (get one for your country/carrier from Samfirmware).
My problem: samsung galaxy s2 gt i1900, rooted for the first time yesterday by someone not so experienced (me). After rooting, it worked well until I did a factory reset from phone menu. After that, it got stucked on boot, samsung logo with the yellow triangle. It only works now in download mode - I cannot acces the reset/recovery menu - it restarts over and over. Odin recognizes the phone.
I have read many threads here , but I didn`t find a real step by step solution. Could be my fault. Anyway, I need your kind help before making another wrong move.
From what I understood so far, I could download the original firmware from : www.sammobile.com, then Download mode - Odin - PDA - load the original firmware - start. If this is right, I have a few questions:
1. In odin what options must be un / checked?
2. After this step (if I`m right so far) can I still root the phone after fixing the problem? If so, please recommend me a safe firmware. Or if it`s possible to load directly a custom rom (not the original one but a safe, working one), please tell me (link).
If I`m wrong so far please teach me how to fix this frustrating issue.
Please excuse my english and thank you.
