Just do another wipe data/factory reset and reboot system and it'll work normally

Hi everyone !
As a new Android user, I'm in a need of help... My GS3 is running Omega 8.1 (not sure of the version...) and I've tried to install the battery fix thingie but now I an't start the device anymore.. It's stuck on a screen and I can't do anything about it. Tried CWM recovery mode to restore a back up I've done before but it says it can't mount /sdcard or something like that...
Is my phone bricked ? Is there a way to rollback what I've done and save my datas ?
Thanks for your help.
Here's a screen of what I have when I start the phone :
Boot into cwm, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, then advanced, wipe dalvik, then try restoring

Thank you very much, it worked !!
I did everything I was supposed to do, first succesfully rooted the phone. Then I put the zip file with the rom into the sd card and then went into recovery mode, installed file from zip and it said success in install so I chose to reobot and now it hangs there... Any one can help me out? I'm scared...

A bit more details. What phone model? What were you trying to flash? Where does it hang, on the Samsung boot animation, or in the recovery?

Galaxy s2 international (gt 19100). It hangs on the boot logo, which now is a yin yang with ics on it, I guess this is a NEAT thing. I can go into recovery mode, it just hangs if I try to boot normally.

The yin yang boot logo is actually the kernel. (Siyah)
You should probably try a factory reset/wipe data from recovery. This will alleviate 90% of boot loops and stuck on boot issues.
How do I do that?

You just said above you can boot to recovery... Once you are in recovery mode, can you not follow the recovery menu system to find the wipe data/factory reset option? It should be pretty straightforward.
I'm not running Siyah, so I don't know what the exact menu item is called in the recovery image that is in that kernel.
I tried that but it still does the same thing... any other tips?

Actually, let's take a couple steps back.
What model phone do you have? It's printed on the label under your battery.
it says model GT-i9100
ssn i9100GSMH

Ok. Are you SURE you're doing a wipe data/factory reset when in recovery? If so, then I'd flash a stock firmware, full wipe again, then try the Neat ROM install again.

Well I'm going into recovery mode and clicking on the option that says wipe data/ factory reset... How would I install the stock firmware if I can't get past the boot screen?
What recovery u using ? CWM ?

Find all you need to know here.
As an easy rule before installing any new ROM (that isn't an upgrade from a previous version ex. Cm10 builds or if otherwise stated ) wipe data , cache and dalvik cache , which is under advanced

Go to recovery

advanced/wipe dalvik cache
go back
mounts and storage
format system
format data
format cache
go back
install rom
Hi guys,
I just flashed criskelo rom to my phone, but I tried to do a hard reset using the code (*2767....) and now my phone is stuck on the boot screen (SAMSUNG). I've waited a long time already, left it over night and nothing.
Also I tried to recover the back up I made with CWM, but I'm again stuck on boot screen...
Any ideas on what I can do??
Thanks

Try either flashing a stock firmware through Odin, or go into recovery and format /system in addition to wiping data, cache and Dalvik, and install the ROM zip again.

OMG THX...
I just flashed a stock firmware through ODIN and it's ALIVE!! Thanks...
(before i flashed on ODIN I restarted my laptop and it was stuck on BOOT... its like a curse omg... i had to go to safe mode to make it work again...)
Its all working now thanks
EDIT: Well... i rooted the phone again, flashed the rom, but this time I tried to make the wipe cache and factory reset through the CWM (volup+home+power), but I got stuck on boot screen again.... Guess I'll have to stay with the rom but without wiping it

If I remember correctly, Criskelo ROM does not require you to wipe anything if you're coming from a stock ROM (it does everything through the install script). So just install it and live happily ever after
getting stuck on the boot screen is normal...i did twice already while flashing new rooms...usualy for forgeting to wipe. reflashing the stock rom always works.

I presume you have tried taking the battery out and outting it back in again,
If you can get into recovery, wipe data, wipe dalvik cache and cache.
If you cannot get into recovery, flash cf-root first. After that, enter to recovery. Wipe all and format system. Flash dlj5 again with ODIN.
Greetings.
thanks guys ! I did wipedata/factory reset and it got solved
Okay, So.. As the title says, i have googled for DAYS, Tried every damn thing i could get my hands on..
Now.
So far, im able to get into download mode, and also into recovery mode, I've tried doing a factory reset, and then flashing a stock rom, and i've tried every concevable method of fixing this damned phone, Its driving me crazy, I flash a new rom with odin, phone reboots, (adds to count) and is STILL stuck at that ****ty flashing samsung logo..
I'd really appreciate ANY help i can get, And i AM a noob at this, So i dont FULLY understand EVERY detail of this, But i've read around enough to know a few things.
My SGS3 has been out of commision for longer than i've actually used it.. So.. Yeah, Getting quite desperate!
Please let me know if there are any particular details yyou need!
Hi,
Your problem is EFS.IMG
Please clear it. Use Odin3 for that.
Boot into recovery and wipe data/factory reset, after you've flashed your ROM.
I had your problem some weeks ago,I finally managed to get arround this after I deleted the dalvik cache and flashed stock rom trough odin,and worked like a charm :good:
try this first before thinking of efs errors!

Thank so damn much for the help so far guys, i really appreciate it!
Cam't really help you with the EFS, but:
-bootloops are often fixed by installing rom then wiping data+cache from recovery as others said
-the dalvik cache can be wiped in the recovery, you can find "wipe dalvik cache" under the advanced submenu

Im in recovery mode right now (Vol UP+ Home + Power)? And i dont see an 'Advanced' menu option;
Options i DO have: reboot system now; apply update from ADB; apply update from external storage; wipe data/factory reset; wipe cache parition;
apply update from cache..
Any ideas?
These options are only available in a custom recovery.
Just try wipe --> flash stock room --> wipe

i just want to clarify... when you say 'flash STOCK rom' Do you mean i need to get a rom for a SGS3 VAU (Vodafone Asutralia) and flash that (go to odin, put it in PDA, etc)
and if THAT is the case.. Where would i get said rom, Because i've downloaded it from sammy firmware 4 times, each time it finishes the download without a hitch, when i go to extract the zip to get the needed files, it says its corrupted or some such BS..
Go to Sam mobile and download the firmware mate.
You will end up with a tar md5 file you flash using PDA section of Odin.
Good luck!

Kies is by far the easiest and safest way to factory reset. I have had to use it about 3 times in the past 6 months because I have flashed something I shouldn't have. Plus Kies now has a lite mode that is quicker at flashing your phone back to stock firmware.
