Hey!
Did you try WIPE FACTORY/DATA, before flashed STOCK ROM?
CHEERS!
I guess u flashed stock 2.2.1 asia version package directly...it is known to brick a lot of aces...
Try flashing stock kpn and tgen try some custom rom based on kpn. Dont forget to do a wipe uswr data/Gactory reset and wipe dalvik cache. For that u will have to flash cwm4. Hope this helps

Flash ROMs in complete packages when you are downgrading and not ROMs in one packages (single file .tar archives).
You should have separate files for the Boot, Phone, PDA, and CSC images.

check this link, you must have flashed the Indian version directly on to the gingerbread, that's why your phone isn't starting up,

Right so here is my thing acouple of days ago i tried to go from a rom based on XLPH to one Based on XLPQ. I did the four wipes however on startup it would go into Kernel Panic Mode. I could not access cwm but could get into dl mode so i flashed cf root XLPH and managed to get back to the original rom i started from. It seems that any XLPQ based rom results in the same outcome of Kernel Panic Mode even siyah.Ive tried to go back to stock to start again but the same thing keeps happening.However as a last resort i flashed an original ota based samsung Build i don't now get the Kernel Panic Mode message but a blank screen and it shuts down I've managed to get into dl mode and get back to my original rom any advice.

unfortunately.. i having same problem..tired of this..please someone help..
i think it maybe hardware i hope not
Been a few people on my forum with the same problem but I seemed to avoid it.
First I made a nandrord backup and passed it to my PC.Then formatted my internalSD(have all important stuff on external anyway)then passed it back to internalSD again with the new ROM.Formated the phone-System,Data,cache in Mounts and Storage and flashed the official ICS from SamMobile.Rooted booted to recovery and then flashed the ROM on a clean device.After that flashed the CF-PROPER kernel cos the CF-Root kernel has the apps to SD and Titanium restore problems.So far all running smooth.
thanks will try that how do i get a nandroid back up to my pc
guys can i install this new XXLPQ ics update manually??...i heard its for the european phones...im in Malaysia...hope it wont effect my carrier phone calls, sms ad 3G network ~~
how did you reformat through cwm and how did you flash the official ics from sammmobile just glad im not the only one with this problem thought it was my fault.

sorry should have put it better i just want to know whether her reformatted in cwm or any other way ie kies.
CWM only .

Sorry had to go to bed.It was late in the morning here.
1.have your nandroid and custom ROM on the internalSD.The wont be touched by a format.
2.Boot to recovery and go to Mounts and Storage and format System,Data;Cache
3.Go back and wipe battery stats.Go back and do a Factory reset.
4.Reboot your device.
It wont boot properly cos you have formatted the system so pull the battery,put it back in and boot into download mode.Now flash via Odin the Official LPQ firmware that you can download from SamMobile and root with chainfires CF kernel.Now flash your custom ROM.
Tryed find a full "odin-version" of a XLPQ, including bootloader?
it MUST include XLPQ bootloader for this to work.
I had Kernel panic when I needed go from Omega V4 to v5.
Odin image with same kernel as needed, root it,
then try install youre new rom.
Good luck man
Thanx guys will try later maybe the idea of messing with the bootloader scares me im gonna try cooza method first.

Hi everyone,
I gave it a shot at rooting my phone and upgrading it from android 4.0.3 to 4.2.1 (rootbox) but I failed miserably. Somewhere in between the phone got stuck at that warning yellow marker and it would only allow me to get into download mode. After trying 5-6 different firmware versions, I finally managed to get one of them to work with Odin and the phone works once again but this firmware version does not work with kies.
I have no idea what the original version was, but I can get all the details from an identical phone from the same operator if you tell me what would be needed. I know it is a silly question, but is there a way to download the firmware from another identical phone used by the same operator?
I want to either restore the phone to a firmware version of local Swiss operator or properly manage to upgrade the firmware to a light version of android so I won't have to deal anymore with all those useless default apps which start automatically and eat up the battery.
I welcome any and all advices.
Thanks in advance.
did you do a full wipe?
my SII is runnning on SlimBean 4.2.2.
just try it
the latest firmware for you S2 you will find at sammobile->firmwares->check your firmware
You can download stock from
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ just search for your phone and carrier then flash back to stock.
As the previous post said did you wipe first? Try a factory reset then flash the rom.

It would be great if I someone would lend a hand in fixing the following 2 small, but quite annoying issues:
1. finding a way to remove 3 of the 5 home screens - I just don't need them and its annoying.
2. finding a way to disable the vibrations that happen whenever I use the on-screen keyboard to write anything

1. If you are on TwLauncher (original one) put two of your fingers on opposite corners or homescreen and then move both fingers to middle. Then you'll see all homescreens and just long press one and a dustbin will appear. Put the homescreens on it
2. Settings > sound > there it will be an option to have you vibrate while pressing and you can uncheck it.
This is very basic stuff, you should explore everything on your phone before asking questions. Keep in mind for next time.
Till then, cheers.

Thanks for the feedback. Be it basic or not, it simply does not work. I used the basic Rootbox as described in this thread.
1. No matter how much I move my fingers on the screen no menu appears
2. System settings >> Sound >> "vibrate on touch" is disabled yet the phone vibrates when I type on the screen keyboard which is really annoying to others if I am in a meeting ... I googled for about 6 hours for a solution and when I failed to find one I posted here. I am sure that the time of everyone here is quite precious I would never want to waste it.

If you can get to the samsung boot logo, then no. Can you access recovery? Or just download mode? If you can access recovery, then factory reset>clear cache>clear dalvik cache and flash one of the firmwares you'd have on your sd card, assuming that you used CWM to flash a zip in the first place (you said that you had cMIUI and rootbox working, go back to one of those.) If you can't get into recovery, then try download mode. You need to keep trying to flash with Odin if you can only access download mode. There's a set of troubleshooting steps to follow if you get another bad Odin flash. Search through my posts for them, I posted them a week back or so.

If you're attempting to flash a stock ROM through CWM recovery, stop now. That'll never work. The only way to flash a stock ROM is to use Odin, Mobile Odin (which in your case won't work, requires phone to boot) or Heimdall (I've never used this personally). So if you're using recovery, DON'T flash stock. You have two options to flash a ROM at present:
1) Stock ROM using Odin
2) Custom ROM using CWM recovery.
Done and working Thanks a Lot

I flashed into stock rom XXLSJ variant. phone is working fine but lost access to root. in order to regain recovery menu i rooted my phone.
1. Now i want to backup my ROM using titanium backup. But its stuck at Gaining Root Access Screen What do i do now?
2. Stweaks,Super User and CWM have disappeared how do i get it back??
3. Strange thing Whatsapp is not working Unable to connect using my datapack
4. Can i Software update irrespective of the JB Stock ROMs region I am from.
Good job getting it working again now, time for you to do some reading. Read about what flashing a custom kernel will do for you. Then pick one that's compatible with your firmware and flash it.

seems like you are new on xda, so welcome buddy,
download a firmware from sammobile, you have to register yourself, before you can download anything, dont worry, its free. flash this one file via odin3 v3.04, drop the file to PDA, connect your phone with USB and go to download mode, start just everything from begin.
i have tried all the things but i cannot solve the problems
Have you tried flashing a different Kernet?
True, did you try a other kernel ? Dorimanx v8.34, its good, by my side, its perfect, not bugged etc. flash via odin

Do a full wipe. It will get you out of the boot loop (hopefully)
Why does it 'not work'? There's gotta be a reason. Does odin fail when it flashes? If so, click the link in my signature and follow those steps.
And you do have an i9100 right? If you do, flash JB leak using odin. Download it from samfirmware. Its a 3 part firmware, and will wipe your device as it flashes. Give it a go.
i have tried all the things done flashing , stock and custom kernels and also the pit files but the behaviour is still the same ......
There"s no quick fix for this (other than buying a new phone) afraid you're here for the 'long haul'........
Look at @Hopper8 s guide for troubleshooting a failed Odin flash and follow it exactly (all steps) and repeat (all steps) as often as is necessary.........
......Unless you've done irreparable harm by flashing a pit file......

My t959 got bricked where it wouldn't go passed the vibrant screen, found a post called ** [GUIDE] FIX AND RESCUE YOUR VIBRICK + ODIN SUPPORT! N00b Friendly ** followed instructions on it to take it back to stock with Odin, rigth now my phone is running Android 2.1 eclair, rooted and with CWM Recovery version 2.5.1.2. im trying to flash a custom rom and when i go into recovery mode and try to do it, the progress bar at the bottom comes up and when it is at about 10% the phone reboots back to the vibrant screen and wont go passed it so i have to take the battery out put it back in and get the phone into download mode to retake it back to stock using ODIN, so i guess is safe to say that my phone gets bricked whenever i try to install a custom rom so im stuck with eclair wich blows specially after having 4.2.2
my phone got bricked the first time when i was trying to update the rom from SlimBean 4.2.2 Build 7 to Build 8 (had done the process many times and never had a problem) did the usual, put the Rom and the Gapps .rar files in the sd card and performed wipe data/ factory reset only this time i went into mounts and storage and wiped everything that was under there as well (dont know why) so when went to flash the rom it was no longer on the sd card (cause i wiped it) so rebooted my phone and it got stuck on the vibrant screen with i fixed already and my problem now is the one mentioned above
i have browsed the different forums and have tried many different methods to try to fix it for example: have brought it back to stock with Odin also with AIO Vibrant Toolbox and even tried UVKB5_Stock_Heimdall-One-Click wich is a froyo 2.2 that comes with CWM recovery with voodoo lag fix and root. even though all these methods work as far as bringing the phone back to stock i still get the same problem when trying to flash a rom, i also have installed CWM through Rom manager and also through the update.zip file i think im doing everything right and have tried multiple forums yet havent been able to find a forum about this specific issue so decided to create this thread as a last resource

What version of android are the ROMs you are flashing?
are they above or below android 2.3?
and on the same note, do you know what bootloader you have?
some roms 2.3 and above require gingerbread bootloaders.
(an easy way to find out is by figuring out which button combo you have to use to get to recovery)
you might also try re-flashing recovery.

if that works you probably just need to flash GB bootloaders before flashing the 4.2 rom (See Below)

Flash the rom again instead of going back to stock when it hangs. You have to flash JB roms twice most of the time when you are on stock 2.1, the first flash simply upgrades your recovery mode. Pull the battery after the first flash and boot back into recovery (should be blue now) and flash the rom again.

Glad you figured it out. Just so you you know, your phone says GT-I9000 because you flashed gingerbread bootloaders. They provide better button combinations to recovery and download modes, much easier than stock combos.

So I just installed the 0.2.3 cm 12 beta rom on and since I was giving my galaxy light to a friend I decided to do a factory reset so when I did that the phone rebooted and now its stuck at the twrp recovery splashscreen. I've already tried rebooting and re-flashing twrp but no luck. Could it be a cache problem or something? Thanks to all in advance who reply.

Im guessing you wiped device and if you go into recovery and try to reboot system it will tell you no os installed if that is the case you can plug device into computer and still use twrp as file manager thats if you had a backup stored on desktop or drag a CM zip to device .
other method of course would be to enter download mode and use odin to flash stock firmware for your device not sure if you have t399 or the N varient lastest beening OH2/OH3 you can find that in my filehost i have stock odin zips to flash.

I used the download from this guide by ShabbyPenguin: http://androidforums.com/threads/guide-restore-your-galaxy-light-to-stock-mja.846767/
Hey guys...I did the same thing but my t399 must have lost battery charge because when I picked it back up, it was dead...I plugged in and it started flashing the Samsung screen slowly at me. It would not reboot. I did get download and twrp to show up and start to atleast work enough to flash and Odin again...I used Shabby's kernel source and it is still doing the same thing after flashing through Odin. Still stuck on Samsung screen slowly flashing and recovery shows no operating system. I'm about to put it back in a drawer but I feel it's so close that I had to ask for help. I flashed shabby work to root and recovery. I flashed twrp 2.7 and the cm12 beta rom. Then back to shabby guide to get it to recognize, it did..kind of..but still boot looped. Flashed 3 times... No changes. Can anyone help or is it time for a staircase? hA!
Oh yes .. I don't think the battery is bad.. I checked it with a meter and it reads voltage. It does get pretty hot while I'm working on it though and my pc shows its charged at 100% but the phone doesn't show that...it stays in like dead mode. Nit recognizing again. Anybody have suggestions? In recovery it also indicated it can not locate most of my files in read after I flash.. what am I doing wrong.
sgh-399n bootloop
It's taken me 2 months to cry for help. I'm not a complete noobie, but I'm completely exhausted. First of all, one morning I woke up and I thought that somehow my battery was dead. It wasn't. Eventually, I found it in a bootloop. This phone was working fine, running a "Tiger_Lilly" ROM the night before. I've tried everything using Odin, adb and fastboot (I'm not sure how to get the phone in fastboot mode and also, before using Odin, TWRP wouldn't mount/data.) I'm stumped. Would appreciate some help, thank you.
HELP...!!!

What was you using prior to it bootlooping and what rom was installed have you modifed anything else such as partions etc...
also list your method and link rom your trying. just wondering if its the lastest version for device. while in odin also make sure Auto Reboot” and “F. Reset Time is only selected and what version of odin are you using?
If your unable to flash any rom thru odin then there must be a major problem else where until we can narrow it down no one can assist you.
hi good morning, i actually dont know the prior version of the SW, i am using the available version on sammobile of the sw and i am trying odin to flash, ive already used odin 3.8 and 3.9 and the one that said it is configured to this phone in the thread.

Ok try this version of odin 3.0.7 which i added as attachment also i linked my firmware OH3 as you stated your device is t399n i know sammobile takes long to download so this may be faster for you Link HERE
as stated previously make sure only thing selected is Auto Reboot” and “F. Reset Time and add tar file into PDA.
I await your reply if fails i send you adb fastboot etc may be able to grab some logs see whats happening
