Why did you deodex the phone? That isn't necessary for rooting.
You just need to flash the update.zip file from here through recovery (stock, CWM4, CWM5, shouldn't matter) and you're rooted.
Plus, a tip:
ALWAYS do a Nandroid backup before doing anything substantial to your phone (such as flashing stuff).
Glad you sorted it out.
No matter what I tried I could not get that update.zip package to install!! lol. I just installed the CM7 zip from CWM and never looked back
Reflash it by yourself can solve your problem ;-)

All,
I kinda ran into an issue after i was trying to upgrade to ICS on my Galaxy S II.
I downloaded the ROM that Faryaab posted on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1544487 .
SInce i upgraded to Android 2.3.6 before using the information from Intratech in the http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 post i also installed CF-Root 5.
Using CWM version 3 i installed the new firmware that Faryaab posted.
I placed the extracted tar.md5 file in a firmware folder on the phone's SD card. At the start of the install i selected "Keep CF-Root"
But after the phone rebooted one and continued with the install i briefly saw an error.
After this the phone rebooted again but froze at the "Samsung Galaxy SII" bootsplash.
I am still abale to get into CWM Recovery but í don't seem to be able to install another ROM or do anthting else.
Also i'm unable to install any updates using Odin3 v1.85 but this is probably due to the fact that i have CWM installed.
The same go's for "Odin3_v3.04" and "Odin Multi Downloader v4.28".
Unfortunately i'm a complete NOOB when it comes to this as i haven't played around enough to really know exactly what i'm doing.
I tried to explain everything i did as precice as possible and i hope someoone can help me!
I can't make a lot of sense of your post, but you don't mention download mode once.
I don't know how you've managed to flash something with "CFM version 3" (whatever that is) nor why you'd want to keep a GB kernel with an ICS ROM (that won't work).
Sorry for the confusion.
I used CWM version 3, i just noticed i made a typo.
I think the kernel is my mistake. I flashed the new ICS firmware before upgrading the Kernel...
Right now i'm unable to use Odin (for as far as i can determine).
I;m able to startup in download mode (power+volume up+home) at which point i am able to get into CWM Recovery (part of CF-Root).
That is all, im completely stuck with what i know.

Thats indeed turned out to be it!
I was able to flash a new ROM and new Firmware and everything is working again and running on Android 4.0.3 now
Guys, is there any chance of rooting the phone without flash with odin or from the mobile odin?
Serve unlock root for ICS 4.0.3?
From already thank you very much.
PS: Sorry for my English is not very good
Look at the PhilZ-CWM6 custom kernel. It can be flashed in stock recovery and includes SuperSU, root, ClockworkMod Recovery and Busybox.
It is pure stock based, and doesn't have MMC brickbug.
Thanks for responding! But there would be some way that only makes you root, without installing a modified kernel and without CWM? is that I want nothing more root access

This method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746794 doesn't flash a custom kernel, but do include CWM. Why don't you want CWM?

You're wrong pal, using the first method will only root your phone, no cwm nor custom kernel. its a single file u flash through stock recovery that gives you root and busybox, nothing else.
Thanks friend! Now I see it, I do not set it up yet because there is no custom rom, just want root : D

Try flashing a custom kernel through Odin on your PC. Plenty of guides on here and Google. That way you can flash cm through recovery. Keep an eye out for the kernel bug related to 4.0.4. Again lots of documentation on that too.

Thanks and one more thing, Is there any risk of getting my phone bricked during rooting part only? I mean we are not installing a firmware so why would the phone get bricked!

There is ALWAYS a risk when doing anything to your device. The level of risk is down to what you are doing and what state the battery is in etc.
As long at the rooted kernel you are flashing is compatible with the current firmware then all SHOULD be fine.

Stuck in bootloop
Hi,
So, this is what happened
I have a galaxy SII gt-i9100, About 5 months ago I rooted it and installed the galaxy nexus update to android 4.0.4. and everything was ok except it wasn't showing me the option to transfer via blue tooth (but that didn't bother me much). These were the things I used
1. GT-I9100_ClockworkMod-Recovery_4.0.1.4
2. Odin3 v1.83
3. GT-I9100_XWKI8_insecure
4. GT-I9100_XWKI8_original
Now, yesterday I a friend had galaxy S II i9100P and he updated the firmware using kies and it had working blue tooth. I thought ok let's change it to that and my blue tooth might work also. I was at work and I (in a hurry) tried rooting it with only Odin. No backup, No Clockwork :laugh: nothing. ( and "Now it's stuck at the startup screen. I can go to download mode and recovery mode but it has samusg recovery not clockwork. I don't know what to do and in need of help. I'd really appreciate a quick response. (hoping to get atleast the mass data back )
These were the only 2 things used.
1. Odin3 v1.83
2. I9100JPLPH_I9100OJPLPF_PAK

ok, the galaxy nexus update? you mean Jelly Bean or Supernexus / chamaleon?
I think that you've installed a stock ROM over a custom ROM and that's why you are stucked at the logo.
read a little bit about flashing because you are up for it.
Learn about SD card data when flashing and follow a tutorial to flash stock ICS 4.0.3 via odin thru Download mode.
Also make sure to flash a safe kernel so you wont get the brick bug (see warning post sticked in the general section).
I don't know what to put here...any ideas?

Greeting Devs & thanks in advance.
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
this is my first post and id really appreciate any assitance and if any additional information is needed ill be happy to provide it, thanks in advance

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.

Try flashing a 2.2 rom or below.
if that works you probably just need to flash GB bootloaders before flashing the 4.2 rom (See Below)
if that doesn't work I wouldn't worry about the step below until we figure out why its not working.

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.

I was replacing a screen for my friend and the phone (sprint sph-L600) was working just fine. Then it stated there was an update, I selected ok. Since then the phone has been looping Samsung Mega and vibrating 2 times over and over. I downloaded odin and flashed 4.4.2 and still the same issue. I can not get into samsung recovery as it does the same reboot over and over. I flash it with a different recovery, and then could get into the recovery mode,once I flash the stock rom, I'm back to square one, rebooting and no recovery. Before I did a flash recovery I did notice the KNOX was 0x1, which I'm not sure why. Any help would be great or I'm out some money for trying to be nice... thanks in advance!

Dont worry its not a hard brick. Try to flash the stock rom with odin. It will solve the problem.
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.

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.

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
