UPDATE (30.05.11):
My phone starts up, but then hangs after some secounds. It started happend without me doing anything(I ofcourse had rooted my phone, but that was days earlier)
I have tried to flash Samsung KE7 firmware, with and without .PIT file, I have tried Villianrom v1.1 and I also tried to enter recovery and wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache.
Nothing seems to help, the phone still doesnt work.
I ordered a USB jig so I can reset the counter before I try to get it on warranty.
But before I do that, is there something else I can try?
Is my really phone defect?
What is samsung policy when you have flashed custom roms?

You saved the original firmware ???
Or do you know what your original firmware was . Probably WKDD

Flash back to that but i would wager you are doing something wrong .
Did you extract the tar file I9100XWKE7_I9100XXKE4_I9100XEUKD1
from the zipped file first guess .

Im flashing I9100XWKE7_I9100XXKE4_I9100XEUKD1.tar
And it flashes successfully. But when one flash like this it doesnt delete everyting.
Still having issues with my phone, its hangs on boot, or right after, when I try to enter my gmail acount.
Tried flashing it with PDA : I9100XWKE7_I9100XXKE4_I9100XEUKD1_HOME.tar
and pit file u1_02_20110310_emmc_EXT4.pit
DON'T use the pit file, only put the firmware in PDA and then press start.
I had the same Problem, just like you. I forgot to wipe the cache/data in the bootloader, thats why it goes in a boot loop.
first you have to go into the bootloader(shutdown phone, and then press home+volume up+power button). then once you are in the bootloader, wipe the data/factory reset, and then wipe the cache.
after you have done that, you can flash a new rom.
I tried that earlier aswell. But I can try again with the new firmware I downloaded.
This is what I tried now:
Enter rec mode (Power + Volume UP + enter)
wipe the data/factory reset
wipe the cache
Battery inn and out
Enter Flash mode (Power + Volume down + Enter)
Flashed I9100XWKE7_I9100XXKE4_I9100XEUKD1_HOME.tar with Odin3 v1.85 with only "Auto reboot", "F. Reset time" and PDA file checked.
After the flash, the phone reboots and Lock up on the "S" logo with "Samsung galaxy s II" underneath.
Waited 5 minutes, still locked on the same screen.
Turn the phone off and on, and it lockup where I input sim pin code.
I again turn the phone off and on an it locked up at the "Touch the android to begin, even before I get asked to enter pin..
I turn of and on the phone, And I get to the point where I can am asked to enter google infomation, and then the phone reboots itself and lockups on the "Samsung Galaxy SII GT-9100" logo.
Tried to enter Enter rec mode (Power + Volume UP + enter) and wipe out everything again, and reboot. But the system still hangs.
But I get this error message when I enter Rec mode and when I flash, is this normal?

Five mins doesn't sound long enough to me. My first boots took much longer, I swear. don't worry about multi csc error, I get that.
While you're at it, buy a jig and reset the custom rom counter to protect yourself

Okay, I can try to flash again when I come home from work today.
How long should I wait? 15 minutes?
Tried flashing again, and I leaved until the phone booted. (Happen very quick this time)
The phone still gets in reboot loop, or it hangs. Sometime its boots up fully(I can move around in homescreen) and then it hangs/reboots.
Tried flashing many different roms, but same symptoms.
Do people have an idea what I can do?
Is my phone defect?

Hi,
I tried to root my phone and install jelly bean 4.1.1 rom but f*cked up.
I used the wrong rom (for Verizon S3) and soft bricked my phone.
Worked 3 hours to get it back to a functional state.
However, since this happened the following problems occur:
Overal performance is a lot less smooth, I installed a stock ROM + CWR.
When booting, it often has problems at the "Samsung" logo, laggs etc...
Worst: It takes about 2 seconds for the lock screen to pop up EVERY time I turn the screen on.
I made a video to clarify what I mean: (can't link because new on forum, search on youtube for "Slow unlock screen Samsung Galaxy S3"
This makes the phone pretty useless imo since it drives me crazy to wait this long for just the screen to pop up.
Any help would be appreciated.
What would be the best course of action?
Install a -as close to stock as possible- ROM and start over again?
Or can I just wipe whatever's on there and flash/install a new ROM?
Thanks in advance, I'm freaking out because I'm afraid I just threw away 500€
Few steps to possible recovery as I have faced the same problem before....
1. download any rom like OMEGA V19 put it in root of the external sd card.
2. boot in CWM
- factory reset
- wipe cache partition
- go to advance
- wipe dalvik cache
- wipe battery status
3. install the omega rom.
4. remove the battery
5. press VOL UP + home button + power key to enter CWM
- repeat step no. 2
6. reboot.
It should solve the problem buddy... and bring your phone to a normal state...
Find the official firmware for your region..from here
Unpack the zip and use the md5.tar file..
Boot your phone in Download mode..vol down+power+menu
Open Odin and select the tar file as PDA
Start..
If you are stuck at the boot screen..hold vol up+menu+power to go to stock recovery..wipe data factory reset from there then reboot..
Your phone will be as good as new..
I factory reseted my Galaxy S3. everything went normal but as soon as the mobile rebooted after the reset, started the problem. most of the system apps and the apps i download from the market closes by itself and return to home screen.
for example, if i try to check a mail in gmail, it keeps on loading and then suddenly goes back to home screen.
plz help. what should i do?
I even flashed the ROM back with odin but the problem still persist
Factory reset Flash a stock rom via Odin .
Next step try root and format system cache data preload .

Here's what I did when I got the same issue:
1. I booted into Clockwork recovery. Once there I wiped everything incl. "Dalvik Cache" and "Battery Stats" in advanced menu.
Manually formated every step in "Mounts and Storage" menu (EXCEPT FOR SDCARD of course!). Even tho that step might not be necessary
2. Did a factory reset.
3. Removed SD-card and put it in my putor. Then copied a ROM to the card.
4. Booted into download mode (hold Volume down + Home + Power buttton) and flashed a kernel with Odin.
5. Booted into Clockwork recovery and installed ROM from zip.
This worked like a Clockwork for me, No guarantees from me tho!
Hello guys and thank you for reading this post. I have successfuly rooted my phone yesterday and tried to install Xposed framework. First I installed Xposed framework zip file and then apk. After that i enter recovery mode and flashed zip file. And my sad story starts now. After i flashed zip file i my phone get stucked at bootloop. So every time i try to power on my phone there only appear samsung logo and got stucked at that point. Then went in recovery mode to Advanced-File Manager and deleted xposed zip file. Then i tried to power on my phone but there i get stucked on samsung logo again. After that I back up all files. Then i wiped all Dalvik,System,Data,Internal Storage,Cache after that when i try to power on my phone it always enter recovery mode (it is not stucked at samsung logo)...I think i deleted my OS. I restore my back up data and tought that i will be at same point as before wiping but i am not. It keeps to enter recovery mode every time i try to power on phone. I don't know what to do now. Please help me! I have a problem with connecting my phone to PC too. :crying:
Please help...
Anyone? :crying:
Backup personal data -> factory reset -> reflash ROM -> restore data -> profit
But as said above, a little more information would be helpful. Device name, model number, what recovery, what version of android, blood type, social security number, you know, the normal stuff
How to reflash ROM?
