Ok download mode it's good, flash stock GB ROM, than the wipe code, *2767*3855#
It should wipe now. After that flash the cfroot the newest one, don't have to be your version , when it reboots go to recovery, it will be new recovery now, 5. **
From there format system partition plus all other usual wipes.
Now go to download mode again and flash the stock GB or ICS ROM and wipe with code one last time. You should be fine now.

Try flashing the latest siyah kernel using ODIN.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
First I had XXLPQ then I flashed siyah kernel v3.2.8 through CMW, I used it for like a day then everything started crashing so I just rebooted and then I got a bootloop.
I flashed XWLP7 it got stuck at the bootlogo(before animation screen) so I went into recovery mode and then it said "successful csc install (KOR)" something like that then I flashed siyah kernel v3.3.1 though ODIN, now I tried to change the CSC though the menu by using *#272*IMEI No# then it just never booted it just stays at the "Samsung Galaxy S II" the one before the animation screen.
I tried searching i found nothing similar...

So now it boots past the Galaxy S2 screen? I have experienced that for 2-3 times now, same thing where everything started crashing and rebooting the phone will end up stuck at the bootscreen. What I had to do is to wipe data, dalvik, and cache then only it would work again.
It could be due to the particular ROM used as I have not experienced it after using the newer XWLPD for a few weeks now.

its a siyah kernel v2.3.8 issue where some files get corrupt, so even after flash v3.3.1 some files maybe corrupt also. So a full wipe is advised after backup.
Hoesntly I dont know but I think that its linked to the rom :/.

No I could boot into both recovery and download modes. Back then I tried flashing the same firmware and newer firmware but both still ended stuck at the boot screen. Only after I booted into recovery to wipe data, Dalvik cache and cache then it booted past the bootscreen and working again.

Hey Guys
I came from Stock Rom, rooted my device and flash recovery. And when i come to install any custom rom my device get into a boot loop.
Fortunately I got a back up and every time a try a different custom rom and i can go back to stock.
Well i have tried with the following roms
CM10
AOKP
Slim Roms
Paranoid
Everytime i have tried any of these roms i do carefully everty step. Just exactly like the tutorial says. I've been done this before, installing custom rom in other device, like nexus s, gs3, gs2. Im familiar with those stuffs.
And i don´t think it has to do with some corrupted file when i download the base.
I have tried to reflash recovery and nothing.
Tried to change kernel, i changed to siyah and nothing. After i install custom rom , the device just show the logo of the rom and ask select language and bam!, there is the boop loop
I don´t know what else to do.
I have read something about clear nand with odin , but i dont see those options.
If anyone knows what to do, please let me know.
Thnks
Aditional Info:
Baseband: GT-I9300XXELLA
Kernel: Stock
Root with Odin3 v3.04 - CF-Auto-Root-m0-m0du-gti9300t.tar
International Version
4.1.2
Recovery 6.0.3.1
I Flash the Recovery with Rom Manager V5.5.2.3

That suggests a problem that is one of the following .
EXT SD card faulty
Custom rom download faulty
CWM recovery faulty.
user not following instructions .
Try flashing a Samsung Based custom rom .
jje
What do you mean boot loop is it actually restarting after boot and restating again ??
Yes. Exactly that's what i mean. It restart over and over again.
External sd card > i dont have one
Recovery > i tried with cwm and philz
Downloaded rom > i have tried download from the xda developer site and tried with different files, different roms
Im pretty sure i follow the instructions just the way it is

Hey jje, what is the purpose of flash a samsung based rom?
With this I understand that it will alow me to flash a custom rom after that, is that right?
Another question, how can i go back like all factory settings, i mean clear everything. I format internal sd, factory reset, do the wipes, fix permissions and once again try to install a custom rom but phone doesn't boot after show logo. Actually i install the same rom in another i9300 and everything's go fine, so the file is ok.

Samsung-based ROM is a custom ROM based on the stock one.
Hey guys,
yesterday i flashed the latest unofficial temasek rom, before that i had cm 10.2.
at first it worked fine, but afterwards i also flashed the latest gapps.
it lagged a bit so i did a reboot but then it stuck at loading screen. i mean it seemed like it boots but it didnt continue.
i tried to get in cwm and it took about 5 minutes to get there, it said cant mount data etc.
i wanted to flash the normal cm11 but there was an error and then it couldnt start anymore. no blue circle.
after several minutes i got in the cwm and tried to flash different roms, at first custom via cwm, then i tried to flash the stock via odin and
it said it was successfull, but it wasnt. it still stuck at loading but its not frozen, the animation works well.
i tried wipes and factory reset but it didnt help. the only thing that works well is download mode.
its a normal unbranded s3.
thanks for helping

it still stucks at the animation..
ensure that you wiped all data, cache and factory reset
clean wipe..this step is often omitted during installation.

Hello
I've accidentally flashed a wrong cwm-recovery (meant for some other phone)
After the installation I've rebooted into recovery and it booted the one I already had (that's when I understood it's the wrong one)
Then I've tried to reboot back to my rom but it got stuck on the rom's loading screen
Tried to flash a new rom after using gs2RomWipe
Tried to restore from a nandroid backup
all of them gave the same result.. stuck on the loading screen
Now to my question...
If I flash a stock Rom via Odin.. will it be enough? will I be able to reroot and use my phone normally again?
Or is there an easier way maybe?
i did the same today..
all the time bootloop..
flashing same rom that i was using did not helped..
flashing some other rom helped but cant call cause phone dont see simcard..
flashing some other roms like cyanogenmod also stuck my on bootloop..
I am pretty sure you have to flash via odin.
Update...
I've flashed a stock rom via Odin but it went into a bootloop
when I've entered recovery it said E:failed to mount efs (invalid argument)
so far I've found no way to make the phone work
please help

I have efs backup as tar.gz but didn't find a normal guide on how to use it without the phone working (i.e adb)
I'm not even sure if the problem is because of the efs missing or not but it seems to be the problem

still nothing...
and it usually takes 1-2 mins max for me
also doesn't explain why stock from odin wont work
It seems to me that I need to somehow fix the efs folder but no idea how to do that
almost all the guides I've seen about that requires the rom to work and use root explorer
the others wasn't clear enough or just not related
according to the shell commands my efs folder is empty
copying the efs folder I have on my sdcard doesn't help because it's not there after reboot
I have a tar.gz as well but not sure how to use it
can I flash the .tar via odin? or some other solution with adb/shell?
or do you think it has nothing to do with my problem?
anyone have any idea how to help me???
I've tried many different ways but my device just wont make it past the loading screen of the rom (doesn't matter which one)
I really have no idea what can cause this problem
thought that flashing stock rom via Odin should fix it but it doesn't help
I've tried some methods I've seen to fix efs problems but so far nothing helped
I'm really desperate at the moment :\
download mode and flash the cwm kernel via Odin should work.

OK.....just a quick thing......Odin flashing a normal single file stock firmware *may* not be the solution as it just overwrites what is already there during the flash. I will provide a link to a three part firmware that wipes the old as it flashes.....this essentially flashes the firmware onto 'pristine' memory partitions....it *might* help......
Here's the link.....

Search for @Hopper8s Odin troubleshooting guide for instructions on how to flash it.....
Good luck.....
