Hi guys.
My phone is a international i9300
I've been searching for a problem like mine in the forum for three weeks now and I couldn't find a proper solution.
I just can't flash any rom via CWM anymore...
I can flash roms via ODIN, but when it comes to CWM, it gets stucked at Samsung logo after the install.
I tried:
Wipe cache / Dalvik / factory reset.
before the installation, after the installation, every combination possible.
Tried megawipe and no help.
Changed the kernel, Siyah, Googy, stock...
Changed versions of CWM, touch.
I have now the Phil'z 5.0.15.
I like very much the XXELK4 version from roalex with its MOD, for the call recording and full multiwindow support, but can't flash it anymore, nor any other custom or stock via CWM.
By now I can only have a full stock flashed via odin, or my Omega 46.1, wich I have a full backup.
Another solution could be find a .tar rooted and with the MODS flashable via Odin, but I really wanted to understand what's happening with my recovery.
Thank you all and congrats for the great work with the forum.
In cwm format..
Data
System
Cache
Then go to advanced and wipe dalvik cache
Then flash the rom.
Your cwm is upto date?

Sorry.
Forgot to include in the original post... I tried that too. Formatted everything
Got the 6.0.6.3
I also tried with the last Philz recovery.
And with previous versions of both too.
Have you tried to go bk to stock,root that firmware then install cwm then flash custom rom? Clean slate start.
Your problem may be a bad file download .

I'll try to download again, although it's not likely that several files are bad. I tried with so many different roms...
I bought another micro sd of 64gb. Maybe the one I'm using is ruining the files...
There can't be a so huge bug in philz recovery
Try install from internal sdcard, a simple 'Factory Reset before New Rom' no need to mega wipe anything.

Of course. And I tried with different versions of Philz' and also CWM. It can't be a bug in recovery.
Re-downloaded the revolution 29.0 and the Roalex XXELK4 rooted, copyed directly to internal and flashed... Same problem. Stuck at Samsung logo in boot. I'm begining to think my phone is screwed up. But this is so strange. I can restore my backup with no problems, and also can flash with Odin.
Is there a way to flash a .ZIP ROM in Odin?
Does not make any sense .
What model phone do you have ???
What model firmware are you flashing .
What about basic stock custom roms flashed via CWM ??
Have you booted to Philz recovery mounts and storage format sd card cache system and data then flash rom ??
Agree it is strange Deviating a little from your problem but have you tried flashing anything with TWRP recovery see if the problem persists with that.

I know it doesn't. That's why I'm going crazy.
I uploaded the screenshots with my system specs.
The model is correct, international i9300. Tried to download from the site and also directly from rommanager.
The firmwares I'm trying to flash are stock, but rooted by Roalex. I couldn't find a pure stock .zip for testing with CWM. The firmware I'm using is UBEMH5 from sammobile, wich I flashed via Odin.
Yes... Tried and formatted everything, several times, mounted, unmounted, every possible order...
Almost giving up. :crying:

I never used TWRP. Can I flash the same ROM file .zip with it or it requires it's own rom file type?
I'm gonna be out of the country for two days. When I come back I'll give it a try.
Thank you all so far.

It's been a while since i used it last time was when I had a S2 and I used it all the time:good: You can flash any rom with it that cwm can flash (as far as I know) but it had a little trouble restoring backups made with cwm but I think that got fixed.But you can make backups and loads of other things with it I recommend people to try it at least once This won't fix your cwm problem but would be interesting to see if it works
If twrp doesn't work on stock Flash googy Max dualboot kernel and keep stock as primary rom and custom as second rom. Then you have best of both world's :thumbup: also take the pic down with your emei showing :banghead: never ever show this!
What i would do in this situation is .
In recovery format cache system sd card preload .
Flash stock rom via Odin.
Check phone works ok .
Then root / flash philz recovery .
Put custom rom on sd card boot to recovery factory reset .
Then install custom rom watching setup to spot a failure point .
Wait for rom to load 10 mins fails then remove batter replace and factory reset .
Problem solved
Hi folks.
Think I figured out what's going on.
Via TWRP it says the files were corrupted, although the file sizes were identical.
I MD5 checked the files in my computer and they're ok, but when checked already inside my phone or SD they're not.
Instead of copying the files via USB cable I removed the SD card and inserted directly in my laptop slot and copyed the files. MD5 checked and they're ok...
After I tryed again copy via USB and the files were corrupted again.
I think my desktop USB or maybe the Samsung drivers are doing that.
Well, problem solved. I hope this helps other people in future problems.
Thank you all for your help and support. Keep on with the great work.
Mark solved then for other users .

So i managed to solve the problem that i had.
When i said that i could flash only the stock one, i was flashing XXKI3 as one file after each failed attempt to flash a custom one.
So i tried and flashed another stock rom, again as 1 file. after the flash was done the phone again stucked at first screen wit the triangle.
After that i thought that something was really messed up in the phone and flashed again XXKI3 with PIT and multiple files and offcourse RE-Partition.
After that flash a stock rom with 1 file and modified bootloader from Intratech's thread, this way you can also reset the binary caunter with a jig (can find many on ebay).
After finish flashing and first boot
root with CF kernel and flash any custom rom. It worked as it should. Now i am on a custom rom and trying to see which one suits me best.
Thank Jiganet for some may be needed modified bootloader which is recommended so you can reset binary counter.
Everyone tha nk you for your suggestions and help.
any rom that i install is not getting beyond the bootlogo. i had xxki3 stock with cf-root xxki3 kernel.
every install i make full wipe on everything before(data, cache, dalvik).
any body any idea?
only stock rom working.
The first boot takes some time. Are you waiting that long?

1. Enter Clockworkmod recovery
1a. Do a Backup (not a must, but i suggest) from the cwm recovery of your current rom/settings.
2. Wipe Data/Cache Factory reset
3. Flash the new rom you want
4. Again (not needed but well..) Wipe Data/Cache Factory Reset
5. Wipe Cache
6. Advanced -> Wipe Dalvik Cache (this is why you get bootloops)
7. Reboot to system
Wait 4-5 minutes and you will have your new, shiny working rom.
Hope it helps, cheers
yes. more than 10 minutes.

Mh strange, the strange is.. with the stock rom is working.
Looks like your phone dosnt like the rom you are flashing so the quesion now is:
Are you sure, you are flashing a rom your phone can read? I know the i9100G and the AT&T versions cant be flashed with the standard (i9100) S2 roms (there is a specific thread i think here on xda for those versions)
mine is an unbranded i9100 from Greece. i am flashing the correct roms.

next time when u flash try formatting system.
In CWM >mounts and storage> format system
Please state detailed steps you did when flashing a ROM and what kind of ROM.. That will help alot on trouble shooting your problem.

every body read first post managed to solve this.
Hi was there a solution to this problem as I seem to get it with EVERY rom I try to install from zip?
Hi to all, this is my first Post and this is my First Android I come from an iPhone 2G, iPhone 3g, iPhone 3GS and my last phone was an iPhone 4!!! now I'm extremely happy with my new SGS2!!!
I have been searching a lot!!! for a solution for this flash loop issue,
1 - I have flash to a stock 2.3.5 KI3 samfirmware,
2- then I have Odin>PDA>cf-root-KI3-4.2.tar to root my phone.
3 - After that I downloaded 3 custom roms, DarkyROM2_KI3, VillainROM-3.0.0-signed and Cyanogen cm_galaxys2_full-112. put them on my root internal sdcard.
4 - booted to ClockworkMod Recovery menu.
5 - Wipe Data/Factory Reset
6 - Wipe Partition Cache.
7 - Install Zip from sdcard.
and every thing seems ok, but when i restart, it stays on the boot loop, even if i manage to enter to CWM Recovery menu it says that E: Can't Mount ... bla bla bla
I had been trying to put a custom rom so much that my binary counter is now on 10
I'm going to try what you wrote on the first post!
Restore to stock KI3 firmware using pit file and repartition.
after that install the cf-root kernel. Restart and try to install any custom firmware.
Hope it works
Not it did not work, Maybe the problem was Wipe Partition cache after installing new rom, going to stock and repeating
I'm having this exact same problem, please post here if you find an answer to your problem.
I first installed checkrom with no problems, then i decided to wipe and try install dlevrom but after rebooting i'm left with the same problem as above.
It's only when i flash stock 2.3.5 KI3 through odin with pit, repartition, all checked that my phone works.
I then repeat the steps of flashing cf root through odin and then try flash a custom rom, either checkrom or dlevrom and neither work.
Another try another fail!
I have no idea on what else can I do!!! tried again and nothing! I tied cf-root 4.1 and nothing and cf-root 4.2 and nothing!.

After i got the stuck on boot! I can restore to stock by only using the PDA, I don't need to set the pit file again!, but I'm usign all the files on Odin to see If that makes any difference but nothing!!!
I wonder how mariosraptor did it!!!! Can you throw us a light???
I have explained it on first post. Just follow step by step the first post directions.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Nope it didn't work
The steps I did:
1. Restore to stock using PIT, PDA, PHONE, CSC.
2. After it boots root the phone with cf root 4.1 for ki3
3. Use CWM Recovery to flash the new rom on internal sdcard.
I have been doing it with wipe data, wipe cache, wipe develk.
Nothing is there a step that im missing?
Thanks
SOLVED!!!!!! JAJAJA
The only problem, was one minor thing, a little thing called Bootloader!
I installed the old bootloader!
find it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
And after that every thing worked perfectly, no boot loops!!!!
Hope it helps!!!
iv been having a few issues as of late with my s2 so decided id just backup my numbers and media and wipe and start again, but when i do a factory reset, it shows an error mounting the sdcard/.android_secure
and then it skips it, can anyone tell me how to fix this problem so i can start a fresh with a nice clean and empty galaxy
What system do you have? ics or ginbread...?
Question = wrong forum.
....................................
Clean Slate for those that balls up the firmware .
Backup data first if phone is working .
Boot CWM recovery
Mounts and Storage
Format cache data system sd card .
Remove battery
Boot to download mode
Open Odin
Install correct stock firmware .
jje
my apologies, i havent used the forum much as the phone has been fine for about 6 months, its now on checkroms v6 which i managed to flash onto it with a bit of fiddling, thinking that may solve some of my issues but it didnt. thats when i noticed this error when doing a few resets.
JJEgan, gonna follow your steps now buddy, thanks and fingers crossed
its a no go, it wont let me format or mount the sdcard
try factory reset from phone menu,
try another kernel to get another version of CWM, eg: Siyah
hiya zac, well i have the phone in download mode connected to odin, im using the link in your sig, and downloading the stock firmare and kernal, will it matter if i didnt wipe the sdcard before flashing these two items with odin? surely i can do it after?
upto you to try.....
cant guarantee since dont know what weird problem has got with your SD card which
dont allow you to wipe,
you can also try flashing another custom kernel first,
When you flash a stock firmware it already contains a Kernel, no need to flash seperately..
any chance to a quick link to a kernal to try and a guide!
its been a while since iv done this! haha
which rom are you currently on?? ICS or GB
checkrom v6 i do believe
GB CWM flash : http://gokhanmoral.desean.net/siyahkernel/v2.6/Siyah-v2.6.14-CWM.zip
Checkrom is GB version,
but makesure, from settings/about phone
i will bud, and i flash that kernal, with odin?
no this is CWM flashable, put on SDcard, and flash from CWM,
top man, off to have a go now
if CWM flash fails, you can try from ODIN
ODIN flash :http://gokhanmoral.desean.net/siyahkernel/v2.6/Siyah-v2.6.14.tar
select the file from PDA of Odin,

Unless you have a external sdcard, this problem is self explanatory!
So I bought my new galaxy s2 (i9100 int'l version) and i flashed a stock rom that matches my carrier and country (israel) and then i rooted it
by using CF-Root kernel, now i have it for over a month and i flashed many roms with success and then when i tried to flash cm 7 from stock i got into an endless bootloop.
now if you need to know how i flashed it so here you go:
flash stock rom (2.3.5) with ODIN
flash CF-Root kernel that matches my rom (KJ1)
move the official cm 7 (cm-7.2.0-galaxys2.zip) install file onto my internal memory
reboot into cwm recovery with 3 button combo
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
wipe delvik cache
install zip from internal SD TWICE just to be sure
and then when i reboot with the "reboot device" option i get stuck on the galaxy sii screen
note: after i flashed the zip twice i also tried to reboot straight into cwm from the advanced tab and it still got stuck in the bootloop.
also when im in the bootloop i cant get into cwm with 3 button combo but i can get into download mode and i have been reading that when a thing like this happens it means its a NAND rw corruption
so does it mean i can never acomplish successfull installation of cm 7 on my device?
If you would have corrupted nand rw, you couldn't flash stock firmware with success.
Why don't you try CM9/10?

can the problem be envolved with that fact that im flashing the rom from the internal sd card?
cause i saw some videos that people were installing cm 7 onto thier devices from the external sd and it worked for them.

Are you sure you have I9100 or do you have I9100G? Try flashing CM9 or CM10 and report if you face similar issues.

Hi,
so I tried to install a new theme and during the install the phone froze. I tried to access the recovery again, but I can't, the phone stucks at galaxy s3 screen. However I can access download mode.
My question is, what do I have to do to keep my SD Card content (like pictures)? Which firmware should I flash? I was on Wanam Lite Rom.
Thanks for Help

Flashing a theme will not mess your recovery partition so it cannot happen that you have lost recovery..so try again..
Once you are able to boot into recovery flash the ROM which you were using without a wipe first...you will not loose anything..if you face problems then wipe data/factory reset in CWM ..even then you will not loose the data on your internal SD..

Hey guys this is my first time messing with custom roms and my biggest fear has come true i think i bricked my phone, at least soft brick.
here is what happened:
I decided to flash supernexus 5 rom and everything went well, however my wifi wasnt working i tried to do a nandroid recover from a nandroid backup that i had from a while back made with the same version of cmw but it i got the message "no files found" even when i had put the folder with the recovery in my internal storage in the cmw folder. I decided to do a factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik cache but this didn't solve my problem with cmw not detecting the files then i went on and did this i went to mounts and storage as i read on a thread that mounting and unmounting everything solved the problem for a guy but this did not help either, then i went to mounts and storage and formated cache, data and system as shown in this youtube video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCoI62PG7jE&feature=g-hist after that i tried to rebot the phone but it wont get pass the inicial galaxy s3 i9300 screen, i tried whipe data cache and factory reset again but i still can't make it boot ,I can get to recovery however it still doesn't see the folder that i have there. If i connect the phone to the pc it says installing drivers for the device but it fails and i can't see the phone anymore as connected.
Please help me you have no idea how much i saved for buying this and i don't want to loose it.
this is the version of cmw that im using CF-SGS3-CWM-v5.5-v1.5

You formatted system so you have no os to boot! Flash stock Rom with Odin.
Nb.......if you are using cm10/aosp you need to flash an ics Rom, let it boot, and enable wifi before then going on to flash the Rom as wifi won't work coming direct from jb Rom

yes it was the same version only thing is that when i made it i have rooted with cf-root 6.4, but after flashing the stock elk4 leak i used cf auto root and then installed the recovery on its own but is the same version.

hmmmm......not sure what the problem is then, only thing I can suggest is flash the cf root again(not the auto one) and see if that sorts it, but I would move that backup back to its original location first
thanks again!! i will try flashing it again.

It's just a shot in the dark, but it's the direction I would head in if it happened to me......or I would just abandon the backup and start afresh !
