If the phone boots to recovery mode them
Mounts and storage format system data cache and sd card.
Factory reset .
Then boot into download mode and flash a stock rom through Odin .
jje
if its in download mode odin should be able to connect.Try recovery if you have a back-up.its not bricked completely.
First download your rom.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
Once your have downloaded it extract it to your desktop and you should get a tar file.
Now turn your phone off and put it into recovery mode. That's done by holding volume up+power+home.
Once in there clear the cache then in advanced clear dalvik cache too. You can use the volume to navigate and power and home to select and go back.
Make sure your battery is charged up.
Once done put your phone into download mode. Volume down+power+home and accept the disclaimer. (If you own a jig its good to use instead never mind if not)
Start Odin and select the .tar file you downloaded in the PDA section. Do not change anything else. Connect your phone and click start.
What for if to finish.
If when all is done it still boot loops, pull out the battery and put it back in. Boot into recovery mode. Select wipe data/factory reset. Then select wipe cache partition. Reboot the phone.
When the phone starts up don't spend too much time setting it up as its best to do another reset. So when you have skipped all the setting up go into the phone dialer and dial this code: *2767*3855#. This will do a good format off the phone and put it back to as new.
After doing all this try updating your phone via kies to make sure everything is ok and that you are on the latest version.

Hi guys:
So I have made so mistakes with this phone. When I got it I thought it was a Samsung Galaxy S 4G...
1. Rooted it using SuperOnClickRoot
2. Almost bricked it triyng to install a CFW done for SGS4G.
Then I realized that it was not a SGS4G and came here looking for some information...
I did that: Return to stock JFD (2.1) using that guide:
http://rootzwiki.com/showthread.php?t=702&p=11409&viewfull=1
And now I am a little more happier because the phone turns on, now the recovery works... But... When it get turn on it boot loop endlessly.
I tried so many times to do the same thing and I don't have a chance to get it fixed. Tried to move an update.zip to the external sd card without luck, I was triying to install ClockworkRecoveryMod.
So now I come here... The phone is boot looping and when Its turning on a lot of line with colors appear...
I know this have solution, just I want to know how to approach it.
Thanks for reading!
Redo the flash back to stock But this time 1st go into recovery and delete the cache then go into the advanced and delete the dalvik.
Then shutdown the phone and re open but this time you want to be in download mode (hold down the volume down only (or could just be the up only)) and on button at the same time to get you there.
Then hook up the phone to your comp after you have Odin up and then reflash stock
Then root> then flash whatever you want from there
good luck

I just have stock recovery... I don't have Advance button...
I have done it in Download Mode, then connected to Odin (PC), box turn yellow saying COM4 and then selected PDA and PIT file in the guide and hit START.
Everything seems to run fine on ODIN and finalize saying PASS but the phone continue doing the problems I have said in my first post.
Hi guys, really need your help!!!
Been using Custom ROMs since Omnia HD. Loved the work of cookers, never had problems, ODIN is just so easy.
Four days ago, tried to flash I9100 from Lite'ning v5 to 6.1. So, as recommended I wiped cach with CWM, and then done proper FORMAT.
Once I pressed it, format started but didn't finish - the phone restarted, and continued to restart - stuck with boot "S" animation - so can't boot into system.
Then, tried as suggested to install VANILA latest firmware - tried it - didn't work. Keeps freezing in the middle of the process in ODIN - or - it says FAILED. Now, i can't use CWM - if I press Volume UP +HOME+POWER, i get "Mobile phone with yellow Triangle with PC signs" - left to the right.
Updating to the VANILA software doesn't work, so as Lite'ning V6, or any other versions of it. Without CWM, i can't boot from SD Card to other cooked roms, so please, any ideas will be MUCH APPRECIATED !!!

I have never tried this before myself, but I have seen some people recommend trying an emergency firmware recovery with kies. If someone else can chime in and correct me if I am wrong, please do so.
emergency firmware recovery with kies - will try now, and update status...

This solution doesn't work. Because, all that I can do is to log into DOWNLOAD MODE, once I connect the phone via USB to PC with Kies ON, then the Kies doesn't recognise the phone in this mode, so there is opportunity or possibility to do an emergency firmware recovery - if anybody knows anything abt this - please comment ....

Put the phone in recovery mode with Volume UP +HOME+POWER (it won't be CWM because you tried to flash stock, it is samsung's recovery mode), "Mobile phone with yellow Triangle with PC signs" and try it.
Let me know how it goes.
just checking... when you flashed through odin, was kies turned off? Meaning not even in the background and it's (process) not present in task manager?
Because that's what happend to me when i tried to flash a kernel to my SGS2. odin failed too but good thing my phone wasn't bricked.
Anyways, I would recheck the custom rom you downloaded, it sounds like the file was incomplete, or damaged during download. Always check the MD5 checksum, or at least the filesize.
Some custom ROMs cannot rebuild a formatted userdata partition. Most custom kernels cannot do that, so doing a factory reset (wipe userdata partition, format data partition, etc) is not recommended.
FIX:
Boot into Clockwork Recovery
Format cache, format system, format boot, format userdata partitions
Boot into Download Mode
Use ODIN to flash to Stock ROM
Boot into Stock ROM
Flash Custom ROM (Lite'ning), DO NOT FORMAT USERDATA and DO NOT FACTORY RESET!!
Boot into Lite'ning
CM7 using codeworkx kernel (CM7 kernel), is the only custom rom that does not have a rebuild userdata partition problem.
for my i9100 i solved this problem
i have the same issue and i solved with my i9100:
unmount battery and leave it for 20 sec
push up vol and home and keep it then put the battery !!!!! put vol up and home still pushed
if ....if you entry in recovery mode wipe data and cache and .... voila...
sorry for my bad english...hope this will work for you guys !!!

Hi All,
First off, thanks for taking the trouble read my post!
In the attempt to root my I9100G phone using Odin and GT-I9100G_LP7_ClockworkMod-Recovery_5.5.0.4.tar, I stupidly followed the wrong instructions at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1679778
I didn't have ICS - only GB - so I was completely wrong. Whilst Odin said success, the phone now only boots into Recovery Mode.
1) I can't enter Download Mode - I've tried but the Download screen just blinks and then CWM-Based Recovery Mode reappears.
2) I have tried wiping the cache
3) I have tried wiping data/factory reset
4) If I try to plug in the USB cable whilst in Recovery Mode, Odin does not recognise/detect the phone
5) The only way for me to shut down the phone now is to pull the battery out
I have also tried following Phistachio's Guide on "Fix an unflashable or soft bricked I9100G" but since Odin does not detect the phone when I plug the USB cable, I can't get past Step 3.
I'm a noob so according to the XDA video, I hate myself for messing up! I would appreciate ANY help - as I'm such a noob, please try to speak to me like you would to a 5-year old.
Thanks
------------------------------
Dear All,
I'm happy to report that by the grace of Jesus Christ alone - after trying multiple times to quickly press the Volume Up key when the Downloading screen blinked, Odin suddenly detected the device - and I immediate proceeded to flash it with superatmos_I9100G_kernel_v3.2.tar
The phone has now started up and I'm in the process of restoring backups.
Thank you!!
Wrong thread mate. This is only for GT-I9100, there is another one for the G version. Better ask there

so u can boot into recovery mode.. why not flash another kernel through recovery mode
1)just pull out your SD card and connect it to ur computer through any SD reader
2)download the .zip file of any custom kernel u like and the put ur SD back in ur phone and flash that kernel and install that zip file from your recovery then wipe cache and data and see what happens
Note : u can do that also with a whole rom ( cwm flashable )
Solved!

Hi,
Please give me some help guys,
After installing an app from a torrent (dont know if its related but it happened after installing and opening it) my phone keeps restarting every time, it boots up normally but after just about 5 seconds in the home screen it reboots again. I need to pull out battery to get it stop rebooting.
I've entered in CWM, but cant wipe data/factory reset, when I choose that option it appears "wipping /data" and it just reboots again. I cant also format /data from advanced options. Also, when /data is mounted I cant unmount it also from advanced options. Can wipe cache and dalvik cache but not data. Cant use the phone!
I have Omega v36 with superSU and CWM touch in it. How can I solve this?
Happened to me once also. Idk which app you installed but I had installed privacy guard and it resulted in a boot loop. The 5 seconds it gives you at start, try to go in settings then applications and uninstall the app which caused this. Took 15 minutes of me trying and I lucked out and uninstalled it. Phone been fine after that

I've tried, but as soon as I hit the "unninstall" the phone reboots. I guess trying to interact with something in /data makes it reboot.
App + torrent = probable malware .
Flash stock rom via Odin is the first step .

Well, things have gone worst, i've entered in safe mode and choose factory reset from settings, now the phone keeps rebooting, show the green robot of factory reset for 2 seconds and then reboots again. Now cant even get in the samsung logo neither in recovery or download mode.
Now, is there a solution for this? Have removed the battery for about 5 minuts but it stays the same.

I am having this same problem with my ACE 3 Duos, and it is DRIVING ME NUTS!
I searched all over the internet
- It starts up normally then reboots within 2 - 4 seconds
- I managed to let it start on SAFE MODE it didn't work! still rebooting!
- I wiped the cache and it didn't work
- I am leaving the Factory Reset as a last option ((cause I didn't back up my data and I have bad experience with back ups))
- much important info on my phone ((about my work)) and don't wanna lose that
- I think I can save it cause it is booting normally then something goes wrong

Hi everyone.
I have a i9300 and it is stuck in rebooting.
Power key is ok.
I can get it to download mode or recovery mode.
I can wipe cache and partition but nothing change, it keeps rebooting.
I cant use odin because odin didn't see the phone,
I think USB debugging wasn't on. But I cant find a way to open it without turning on.
I am looking for possibilities and solution for 2 days and I cant find any. Please help me.
bootloop
It seems you are stuck in a boot loop. Try clearing the cache & perform a full factory wipe. Then reboot your device.
Hope that helps.

If you've cleared the partition structure then you've turned a possible soft brick into a hard brick, you'll need a new motherboard now.
Try flashing the rescue firmware, from the thread in general, but I wouldn't hold out any hope.

same problem but worse please help
HI guys i have exactly the same problem but my bootloop was caused by installing recovery through the cwm app and then rebooting to recovery through the app. i rebooted to recovery with an app before and it caused this aswell ...however back then my volume down button was working. i fixed it last time by going into download mode and flashing philz recovery however i cant enter download mode or recovery or boot into system.
PS: my phone doesnt boot into recovery it comes up with the samsung galaxy s3 gt 19300 logo then it comes up with the cwm recovery icon in the middle of my screen and 'clockwordmod recovery v6.0.6.4' at the bottom of the screen then restarts itself.
i dont know what to try i have looked around, didnt want to create a new thread just wanted to find out if anyone has any idea of what i can do except for buying a new volume down button thats my last resort apprently its £35 to fix
easy way to fill up you thanks meter guys as any sort of input and advice is extremely appreciated.
alphadavid99 you fried your lcd when you flashed cwm made for note in the other thread.
Hi i have the issue... I am able to get in Recovery and Download Mode.
While in recovery i had formatted the whole internal memory and tried flashing about three AOSP ROMs (Formatting each time before Flashing) but the only result was the endless boot up screen (not boot loop).
Then i tried flashing a sammy ROM and it worked...
Could someone tell me why am I able to flash Sammy ROM but not AOSP (such as ARCHIDROID & SLIMBEAN).
My Model is GT-i9300
Current Modem - XXUGMK6
Current ROM - S4 Revolution ROM (TM)
Thanks in advance for your time if someone has any suggestions
