Hey folks,
I got a Galaxy S2 GT-I9100 and upgraded my custom rom to Resurrection Remix ics v1.8 today (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1436854).
The problem is that I am now stuck at the bootlogo -.- I fear that my phone is bricked now as I cant boot it up anymore to flash a new/old rom. Is there any way to get a new rom flashed via download or recovery mode? The main problem is that I cant put new files on thje phone via USB so imho it is impossible for me to flash something new... Hope there's a way or that someone can help with his problem.
best regards,
daZza
Lol flash via odin...?

your phone isnt bricked, just noobed, its ok
If you still got cwm, which I think you have, format data, system, cache, sdcard
Download the custom ROM again, use mount option in cwm and copy file.
Or after wiping/ format, use Odin and flash the stock ROM

Ye I still got CWM, but when trying to mount USB storage it says: E:Unable to open ums lun file (No such file for directory)...
No I mean, from mount and storage press mount, and plug in the cable. And copy the new file from computer

Do you have the CWM app on your programs?
if yes,
Download cwm version of the kernel that you want to flash
open the zip file and extract zImage file, copy it into sdcard.
Run CWM app, select flash kernel, choose the zImage you just copied.
if no, you have to flash the kernel using ODIN. There is a very detailed thread for how to use ODIN.
The link above is to flash with ODIN. Just follow instructions.
EDIT: Sorry i thought ur phone wouldn't boot. I've read fast.

i just got an official xx UK firmware flashed it with odin it booted.
do i now then flash the stock kernal to match the firmware ive just installed?
if so thts just the tar file flash with odin ok correct?
i mean i can install cwm again and flash custom firmware and it should all work?
Download the CF root file that matchs the kernel version (Check Chainfire thread)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
the instructions just say flash the kernal stock tar file without partition and thats it nothing else whats cf root?
U flash with Odin dude. The CF-root will contain a custom version of CWM. Once You have cwm then flash your custom ROM.
Check post #1 of the link
Good luck man

Hi guys,
I have accidentally formatted my Galaxy S3 system and now I only get the Samsung logo. My laptop cannot detect my phone and it has no response. :crying:
Can anyone help me with it? With GREAT thanks!!!!
Hi noob
Formatting the system partition removes the OS, therefore the phone can't boot but that's not a problem.
All you need to do is boot up your phone on Download mode (keep volume down + home button + power button pressed) and then flash an official ROM through Odin from your PC. Get the XXALF6 ROM preferably from the official roms thread, as it's the latest.
Once flashed your phone will boot fresh like new again.
Or just flash one from cwm if you have a rom zip stored on your phone.
If you don't then Odin it.
Or adb push the zip to your sdcard in recovery.

Please infoem moderator to move to Q&A, thanks.
If you formatted system, you probably did it through CWM Recovery?
So, just flash any custom ROM.zip from external sdcard via CWM recovery and reboot.
Else, follow the suggestion in previous post.
Hey guys! I have the same problem except when i try to flash the rom through odin it gives me: "system.img.ext4" and then "Complete(Write) operation failed". Is there anything that I did wrong?
I recently tried to install android revolution hd 2.2.0 and ran super wipe.I have put the rom on the sdcard too,so it isn't anymore and the normal bootup doesn't work,I am stuck in recovery and need a way to put that rom there to flash it..does the window explorer work in recovery mode?

If you have the stock Rom flash it via Odin.
Cwm sometimes mounts the external sd card but sometimes doesn't.. don't know how it is for others but it isn't working properly for me.
Go to mount and storage in Cwm for mounting sdcard.

I removed the battery because it was not charging and I thought I won't can flash any rom with the battery low,so I will seek more advices before turning it back on,so..
Wipe removed all my files,including stock rom,but I don't know if volume down + power + home button will work.Well I went into choose zip from sdcard and they all were there,I ran super wipe as it was said in the flash tutorial and it deleted almost everything,I am stuck into recovery and I cannot enter sdcard because there are no files anymore,such as the rom needed to be flashed.
If I mount sdcard n the mount and storage in cwm will windows explorer be able to put the rom back there? So i can flash it with.
update: volume down+home+power works perfectly,should I flash the rom with odin directly? the sdcard is empty too.

If you can get into download mode then you should easily be able to flash via Odin.
Do a search in the forum because there are many guides about flashing through Odin.

I will flash stock rom then I will try again to do android revolution hd 2.2.0 ( the step I missed is about creating a virtual ssd )
I will come with an update if the flash stock rom through odin works.
Checkrom comes in two versions,one is Odin flashable,flash that.then u are rooted after flashing
Next time u use superwipe remember to move the rom to EXTERNAL SD-card ,because internal SD-card is wiped.
Weird..odin exits after a while it says Please wait then it quits,while trying to flash stock rom,what's the problem?
I found a way to put the rom back there,but it is in sdcard,and I cannot enter it ( cannot mount )
How can I solve this from the recovery mode? I am still stuck in recovery mode or download mode..and the rom is on the card now,but cannot access to flash it with cwm
Why do not you just boot?
Previous rom is there but wiped and restored.
I do not think that superwipe was made to empty system from the rom.

The rom had to be put on a virtual/external sdcard,but because I didn't read carefully I put it on sdcard aslong with superwipe,so after I launched superwipe it deleted the sdcard files and the stock OS too,so it just says samsung galaxy siii like before it boots,but it stays that way..
I don't know how to get into the sdcard,cwm recovery says it cannot mount it,sdcard contains my rom,and because I cannot access it,I cannot flash it..I need a way to help cwm to mount sdcard,so I can flash it from there..
Otherwise I tried flashing stock rom but odin crashes,like I press start,then it says check md5 then Please wait,it gets stuck and quits..
Which recovery do you have? Is it the touch cwm?
Flash 5.5.0.4 1.5 from chainfire. Make sure when running odin nothing from kies is running in the background and make sure you do not tick re-partition.

It is not touch cwm..it is a normal cwm from what I have seen.
Can you give me the exact version ( including link )to flash with odin? I think it does not charge and I always get off the battery from it when I try something new and it does not work.
edit: CWM-based Recovery v5.5.0.4 :: CF -v1.3

Then i need to tell you that you must flash through Odin a full rom then reroot and then flash again a custom rom of your choice.
Just make sure every time you flash with Odin nothing from Kies runs in the background. Otherwise Odin flash will fail or stuck.
Edit: Please remember and NOT TICK REPARTITION.

What's the problem?
Its checking md5, that takes a few minutes.
Boot into download mode (volume down+home+power, press up when it says are you sure) then flash via Odin.
Its simple.

I wanted to format my phone cause it was almost full, so i format it, but it doesnt work and i got the same space free.
So i tried to do it manually in Recovery Mode, i formated some stuff, but i formated something like: Format Pre-Load (or something like this) and some more stuff, if im right that was only data/cache etc, and system to.
But now my phone wont reboot....

Hey guys,
I have a similar problem after attempting a root on my Galasxy i9001T.
I used Odin following the instructions on this thread,http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125414, I've gotten as far as using Odin 1.83, using the GT-I9100T_DUKF2_original.tar as my insure kernel. Odin gave me the green light "OK" and I waited for my phone to boot upt.
My phone gets far as the initial "Samsung SII GT-I9100T" and stays there, there was no yellow triangle, which expected from the instructions. The phone recharges and is able to go into recovery mode, but is Odin is having trouble communicating to the phone via USB, it won't establish a connection, so I have a strange feeling that I've bricked my phone and need help to fix the problem if possible.
My phone model and kernel are below, any assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers.

You should not have formatted preload. Why didn't you just format the internal sd card?? Anyway now you will have to flash official firmware with odin. you can find so many guides on how to do that
...and to format your system wasn't the best idea also

Watch the third post. There's your answer.

You cleaned everything boy even the Android OS
You just formated your whole phone you deleted your android os. you have to use ODIN to flash rom download some official firmware of some custom rom or if you have cwm download the rom transfer the zip to sd card or internal on your phone and flash it from cwm. And remember if you want to clean up your phone completly Just use factory reset in setting and if you want to delete all files in your internal sd check delete all files. Never format SYSTEM and PRELOAD
Now he's got a clean device alright.
I can just put a custom rom on it?
Using Siyah kernel, Philz, CWM or another? Does this matter?
Otherwise is put a rom on my sdcard and i put my sd in my phone and i flash it.
I putted a rom on my sd, installed it in Recovery Mode and its working again, thx for the support.
Hey,
I've got a rooted s3 (international).
Rebooted to cwm, factory reset + format system.
Went to flash new omega rom and realised it wasn't on the sdcard.
-Mount sdcard says e: error mounting /sdcard
-I can flash rom from internal memory (but it's not on there)
-I have an external sdcard with the rom on it, but it cannot be opened in cwm.
How can i fix this? Truly stuck.
