I have followed the guides on restoring your phone with ODIN. I am able to restore everything with ODIN, I get to the part where it says "pass" and the phone reboots... from the video it's supposed to reboot and show some "yellow" text after the vibrant logo... I just get an infinate boot loop with (i get a hour glass/circle over a transparent battery icon and it just reboots and keeps doing the same thing)
If I disconnect the USB cable and pull the battery after getting the "pass" from ODIN I still get a boot loop, but this time it just flashes the "vibrant" logo
any ideas?

it was charged before I started this whole process... i don't know how to tell if it's charged or not now.. when I put it on the charger (from an off state) it just turns on and starts the boot loop (transparent battery with loading circle in front of it/repeats that)
Care to take a pic of the battery icon thingy...I've never heard of that.

Definitely not, it's taking you to OEM recovery. Good luck flashing from there.
Just flash a kernel with CWM Recovery if ROM Manager doesn't want to play nice. Do all you flashing by booting to recovery and flashing from there.
What could be wrong?
I click the boot into recovery from the rom manager.?

It hasn't actually installed CWM Recovery so it's booting you to the only recovery you have: stock.
You can also boot to recovery by vol up + home + power.
I could never get Rom manager working on mine so flashed a cf-root kernel with cwm included all working fine now
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
I find ROM manager only plays nice on CM..
Next time you find yourself there do the three finger salute and it should continue to cwm and even proceed with the ROM manager task.
Cwm is present but for some reason it hasn't written over the stock recovery. Its one of the most annoying bugs since I don't have a PC to fix anything with when **** gets squirrelly. I will be replacing this phone with the nexus for that reason primarily.

I have looked everywhere for an answer but have found nothing. I can use my phone just fine until it completely freezes. I am left with no option but to take the battery out and restart and come back to a low battery that went from roughly 80% to 10%. I have no clue what to do. I'm not sure if i need to wipe and format. Can anyone give me some advice? If it's a case of having to wipe, can I have details on how to do this without losing information?
Thanks

i think you have the original firmware, try to install the newest firmware LSJ you can get this at sammobile.com or you can choose a custom rom which you can find here

Yeah, you're on an official rom, and since you don't know what it means, I assume you don't underclock (UC) and/or undervolt (UV)
Ever considered rooting and flashing a custom rom? Or, like stated above me, flash some other official firmware through Odin to see if the problems still excist (except someone else has another sollution).

Hi, I am currently running the latest MeanBean and I decided to try AOSP out one day. I am S-ON so I installed the Rom zip and then used fastboot to install the boot.img in my rom zip. I booted up the phone, but I get stuck at the CM boot animation screen (it just keeps on spinning). Anyone know how I can fix this? I can't go S-OFF at the moment since that would require reprovisioning and I'm travelling internationally right now. Thanks!

You have to flash the kernel separately.
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
He did flash the kernel separately using fast boot.
Try restoring your backup that you surely made, then using flashimageGUI from market to flash boot image while running sense ROM, then immediately flash CM

Seriously, S-off makes life with this phone so much easier. I understand you're traveling at the moment, but you need to look into it once you get back home

Thanks guys, I'll try the market app to flash the kernel and see how that goes. I'm going S-Off as soon as I get back to the states, don't worry
