Hello.
I was in rush and flashed CF Root KG3 with Odin but not as PDA... i flashed it as a Modem.
Odin tells me FAIL but now i cant flash anything more. It's recognized in ODIN but always says "setup up connection". So i cant flash a real modem or a kernel.
Didnt rebooted the phone because its staying atm at the download mode.
Hope you can help me.
ouch.
Okay uhhhhhhhhhh rebooted phone in download mode and reflashed modem.
Everything fine now.
Last time i did this at work.
You are very lucky, on most phones that would have been a hardbrick
Hi all
Tonight I decided to buy that little usb jig and flash the lite'ning rom v5 for first time.
Okay things started alright..
Downloaded lite'ning rom v5 followed the guide, and flashed it via Odin v1.85.
Phone booted as it should, I noticed that all my apps and messages was still there, oh well (I come from custom x10i roms) I decided to go into recovery and did wipe data/ reset. Thought it would wipe the stuff there.
Then it startet to bootloop when I rebooted it.. Hmm funny, I tried to flash lite'ning v5 again but still bootloop. Then I found a guide how to get back on stock software with odin, I downloaded from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113928
The danish vesion + stock kernel flashed both.
Still bootlooped.
Hm The guide mentioned that I could try the villainrom v1.1 I did that and I got into the phone atlast!.
Ok then I tried to flash the stock software again from there boot loop again.. And now im back on villainrom :s seems like every thing I flash exept the villainrom I get bootloops. Even stock software? wtf ?
Could anyone please explain to me how I get the lite'ning rom v5 installed correctly without getting into bootloop.
And I found another guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1108499&highlight=loop
I followed it 100% thats where I got the villainrom from btw.. Seems like its the only way I'm able to use my phone right now :s ?
So please anyone could you give me a hint on what I should do to fix this mess i've made..
Thanks,
Best regards Rasmus Mikkelsen

How come when I connect it to KIES im not allowed to do a reinstall from there?
I remember PC companion / sony ericsson software update just plug it in and you'd be back on stock software unrooted, isnt this possible on the samsung?

You have to clear the flash counter with a jig to be able to update using kies again. I did anyway. I had a similar bootloop problem myself. I fixed it by flashing to a stock firmware with odin, making sure to flash something for phone, pda and csc. I figured that maybe something from lightning ROM was left over and causing incompatibilities. This may not be the reason but the solution worked for me.
For lite'ning rom you cannot do wipe userdata (reset) using Clockwork Recovery. It wipes out something that is required to boot the rom. There is something missing from lite'ning rom that cannot use an empty userdata partition.
To be able to exit boot loop, you will have to go to download mode, flash a stock kernel, boot into samsung recovery, then do a factory reset.
It should boot right in. Then go back to download mode, then flash the latest speedmod kernel. Since there is already data in the userdata partition, it will not boot loop unless you use clockwork recovery to wipe userdata (factory reset).
If that doesn't work, then you will have to goto download mode, reflash a stock rom, goto samsung recovery, do a factory reset, boot into the rom, which will then put stuff back into the userdata partition, then go back to download mode, and reflash lite'ning rom.
It is weird, but all stock rom, and stock rom derivatives will get the boot loop issue when you use clockwork recovery to wipe userdata partition. So far, the only rom that does not have this issue with clockwork recovery wipe userdata function is CM7 and Devnull.
The problem in my view is not the rom's problem, but more of the kernel problem. It is missing a script to rebuild empty userdata.
Do this to get rid of a boot loop.
1) Flash a stock ROM via ODIN
2) Go into stock recovery, do factory reset
3) Re-flash stock ROM via ODIN.

It appears everything is back to normal now.
Simply flash stock rom, factory reset it in stock recovery, and reflash stock rom

Follow 3 simple steps to get Lite'ning Rom 5 working as its supposed to:
1 - Download and Flash Lite'ning Rom 5 via odin as normal.
2 - Download and Flash the Ninphetamine-2.0.5 Kernel from the link bellow:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179814
If you download the TAR file, you need to flash it via ODIN, or if you download the ZIP file, you need to flash it via RECOVERY.
3 - Go into recovery and do a full wipe and restart the phone.
Start enjoying Lite'ning Rom 5 without any bootloops what so ever.
Its a real pitty Lite'ning Rom Dev didnt even bother mentioning this on his main page, knowing that this bootloop issue comes with his rom.
kwazyivan - Thanks
I just did what you said. Seems to run smooth
I wonder if its possible to remove the social hub and gamehub and that samsung stuff? I never use it anyways.
Also I have another question, I come from the x10i custom roms. How come the FPS cap isnt removed in the custom kernels? Not that it matters Phone is fast as hell anyways, just wondering
I hope this explains it

The hubs in the system, doesnt cause any slowdowns or extra ram usage from my experience but if you want to remove them you can always download Titanium Backup from the Market, once you start the TB app go to Backup/Restore, from the list of installed apps, tap on any program and choose the Uninstall option that you wish to remove permanently.
The screen has a refresh rate of 60, so even if the cap is removed it would be completely pointless as the framerate would still be 60 for any graphics app such as games and benchmarks, again in my opinion 60fps is all we need to see smooth rendering graphics, anything more than that is just to satisfy our own greed and hunger for power.
Thanks alot man, explains my questions !
Much appreciated

Hi,
I have a Galaxy S3 I9300.
I tried to flash a stock rom a couple of days ago and something went wrong.
Now my touch screen doesn't respond, it's the weirdest thing, I guess I flashed a corrupted file with Odin.
Anyway, I couldn't enter recovery mode (the phone kept roobting when I tried), I managed to flash the CWM recovery and now I can enter recovery mode.
I could flash a rom via external SD card, but still no luck, now I have paranoid, but still the only buttons that work are the home and shutdown (physical buttons) the touch screen just doesn't respond...
What can I do ???

which stock rom did you flash a couple of days ago?
If you can get back to recovery now then try download mode too and reflash your countrys/carriers original firmware to what it was before.Then re-root and flash philz recovery and then a custom ROM from the internalSD.

I've tried so many ROM's to repair that I'm not sure regarding which one is the corrupted one...
I'm almost sure it was downloaded from the link in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2187081
Before flashing a new ROM boot to recovery and manually wipe cache partition and dalvik and format data/system/cache from mounts and storage.After that the phone wont reboot so pull the battery and put it back in and boot to download mode then flash via Odin.Also try Odin v1.85 too.Ive used both v1.85 and v3.07 and sometimes had issues with the newer one.
try this with a different firmware than the first one you used.
the WEIRDEST thing ever

So, I have done what you suggested.
And now, the left bottom 'menu' button work!
it's not a physical button, and It didn't work before.
I know it sound crazy, but this is the situation.
I've tried doing it a few times more, and nada, still the same..
I've tried more roms, but nothing seems to help...
Any ideas anyone ?
Sounds like damage to the hardware from flashing a rom not for this phone .
Good point from JJEgan mate.What was the ROM you flashed to your phone and is your phone an i9300 or i9305?.Maybe another varient..?.Makes a big difference.

I have the international I9300.
All the stock rom's that I tried contained '9300' in their name...
the custom roms that I tried were Paranoid and Cyanogenmod.. I was pretty careful regarding the exact model type.
I think maybe at one time I accidentally plugged out the phone while odin was in the reset stage and didn't get to PASS yet.
Can this explain the symptoms ?
If indeed there is a hardware problem, is it fixable or should I begin grieving ?
Flash stock rom via Odin .
Post at what point it fails .
If you unplug your phone in Odin mode you could kill it.Atleast it was at the end.You said you have formatted and reflashed again and I guess that about all you can do but do it a couple more times with your countrys firmware just to make sure.Keep an eye on the flash bar on Odin an watch to see if anything doesnt flash or skips.
I hope you didn't flash a note 2 rom (i and some other users flashed the kernel of note2 and the digitizer was dead), you can read in one of my posts and I'm sure there are other users. Not so many but still.
