its a known bootloop from litenning mate. what u have to do is go to litenning topic and find solution. i believe the way to sort this is download niphetamine kernel 2.0.5 and do this.
1.flash liten 5 through odin
2.factory resset
3.flash litenning again
4.on the top flash nip kernel.
it should work
i think it was stated here before. correct me if i am wrong
To factory reset boot into recovery, by turning the phone off, then press and hold volume up, home, then hit power
Select wipe cache and data, you will lose all your data.

Hi guys.
I recently purchased Samsung galaxy sII and got it rooted. I'am not sure that if this is the source of the problem but ill describe what i did in hopes that someone will know how to help me...
I installed Litening rom on the first try and used it until decided to try other roms so i got here and grabbed the first one from the list in the Android Development section. Am not sure about the name of the rom but both of them worked as awesome as roms could get.
One day i downloaded Optimize tool box and when I was deleting cache i noticed that market had over 10 mb's of cache [am noob with smartphones] but when compared to the cache that other apps had it was quite a lot.. when i cleared it and clicked home button phone froze... Nothing worked so i decided to pull battery out. After that the phone was stuck at loading animation. After that I cleared all internal cache of the phone, reinstalled rom and it worked. But now am having a weird problem. From time to time phone either shuts down by itself or when remains screen locked for a period of time it remains black [home button does not return me to the lock screen, instead it remains black] and i have to reboot it to get it to work again.
Tnx in advance
Factory reset, reinstall?

Rooting is not the problem it worked .
Recovery mode and factory reset first option.
Follow that by a wipe and install stock rom and start over if Factory reset not cure problem .

Wow you guys are fast.. Will try that, tnx a lot
EDIT: Sorry guys, just saw the master thread. Will repost this there. x
Hi guys,
Apologies if there's a thread about this already.
I just upgraded my firmware through the settings menu on my Galaxy S2 - everything seemed to go OK, phone rebooted, now it's stuck on the SAMSUNG GALAXY SII GT-I9100 logo on a black screen indefinitely.
Tried so far:
Removing battery for a period of time, then rebooting
Booting into recovery mode and emptying the cache (have not tried factory reset yet)
Allowed to boot for 30 minutes to see if anything would happen, nothing
Can you guys offer any advice before I consider more extreme measures? I've kind of accepted I'm going to have to format the stupid thing now. Should I do a factory reset before trying to flash the firmware using Odin? I'm about to try this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1457458
To try to fix what I assume is a soft brick issue. Does this seem like a good idea?
Sorry if I sound like a complete n00b. I don't normally get this involved with my phone, but it's kind of forced my hand this time around
Many thanks x
no worring yet
do factory data reset
if that fails flash a stock rom using odin. search intratech thread in orignal development

Hi
My S3 is stuck on the initial screen that says Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-19300. It has been like that since I got up. If I press the on/off button nothing happens. If I press it for a long time it the screen goes of for about a second then the same screen appears. I tried taking the a battery out put it back in switched on and the same screen appears. When I connect the phone to my laptop my laptop does not recognise the phone.
Please help

Did you flash a rom from this forum? If so, your bricked.. This is the US version on Sprint (SPH-L710) Yours is the international version which can be found on this section here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1563.
We get a few I9300 people in here and seems to be more often then not. Anything in here that is flashed my render your phone nothing more then a paperweight. Check the forums before flashing anything. (incase you did) Thank you and have a nice day.
Moved to I9300
Now that you have already flashed the wrong firmware.. Try the following..
If you have CWM... Flash any intended for your device.. Wipe data factory reset.. Try booting
If that is not working then..
Download the stock firmware.. Flash it using Odin.. Boot into recovery and do a factory reset... Then see if your device boots..

Stock ROM location?

Where can i find the stock rom for international GS-III? Honestly I have no idea where to find it. People say "download stock firmware" but they never put where it can be located. We need a firmware bible of some sort. Thanks if someone can help me out!
