Congrats, you are one more in millions of people whose phone crashed and rebooted...
I don't even want to put the smiley face I usually put in all my posts, but...

Meh, could've been anything. Since it is working now, I suggest you just leave it. Also, post this kind of thing in the general section.

no need to be sarcastic about the wrong section..
but is it that i need to change the firmware or something?
can u point me to a solution or a bug or something..

For one factory reset fixed it means you know what you did that crashed your phone.
Second, get rid of lpq and flash something newer, but with full wipe before and after.
User dial code to wipe, or better cwm format cache data system dalvik.

ok please suggest me something new to flash...
all pointers are welcome

Rootbox. Make sure you do a full wipe when you flash though.

thanx
but which is the official xda thread that is supporting the leaked firmwares

Did you do a factory rest, wiped dalvik cache and cleared cache before installing the ROM?

Basics.... Reflash any custom rom with Odin. That will help.

Yes, download and flash new rom, Then you have guarantee your phone will boot up because after flashing kernel you might get bootloop too.

This is because you flashed a wrong kernel for your phone.
# Quick question:
Is your phone on Gingerbread, Android 2.3.x or ICS (Ice Cream Sandwich), Android 4.0.x?
# If your phone is on ICS, then download and flash this kernel via Odin: www.gokhanmoral.com/public/files/siyahkernel/v3.0/Siyah-v3.5.2.tar
# If your phone is on Gingerbread, then download and flash this kernel via Odin: gokhanmoral.desean.net/siyahkernel/v2.6/Siyah-v2.6.14.tar

Thanks for that.
I have the I9100BVLPH stock ROM from T-Mobile UK on my phone so I downloaded the correct Chain Fire kernel (CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_LPH-v5.2-CWM5.tar) from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399 and this caused the phone not to boot.
Thanks for the link to Siyah, I used the v4.1.5 kernel and it worked great.
Hello there.
I'm in a bit of a trouble so I need some help. I've bought an S2 for my wife from a guy (in Ireland).
The phone was locked on Vodafone so I tried to root it maybe I'll be lucky to unlock it with out paying nothing. So, the phone is on Gingerbread with a BUKJ3 kernel. I've downloaded last night a CF root but by mistake I took a KG3 instead of KJ3. After flashing with Odin 1.85 I got stuck on the boot screen with the yellow triangle.
This morning I've downloaded another kernel as in KJ3 flashed with Odin, the phone is starting but no network coverage, I tried with different Sim cards but nothing so I went in recovery mode and wipe/format data, system, dalvik and cache as factory reset as well. Since that moment the phone won't boot, it gets stuck on the boot screen and yellow triangle.
I can go in recovery mode and download mode with no problem but I can't make it start.
I reflashed the kernel, I don't know what to do and tomorrow is my wife's birthday and I was trying to surprise her with a nice phone but instead looks like she is gonna get a brick ( I hope not)
Thank you guys for any help.
Go to sammobile and get something like unbranded XWLP7 stock rom....flash via odin
Then use rachmats ics rooting guide
Backup efs folder and make nand backup

Thank you for the reply. I don't mean any disrespect but for the last 3 hours I'm looking over kernels and forum and my brain is really wired now maybe.
I've had a look at sammobile but I can't find what you've recommended. A more specific link will be more than helpful.
Thank you very much anyway. If I'm getting advises it means I didn't bricked the phone so I might be able to fix it.
Once again thank you.
You just go to sammobile,then register,then firmware and files,then put the info in the 4 fields
eg
Smartphone
Android
Gt-i9100
Then uk/ire XEU (or vodafone or whatever..but unbranded better)
Then youll see a list about firmware version and their release date
Eg
Lpt 4.0.4 ics jul 2012
Lp7 4.0.3 ics apr 2012
So download lp7 4.0.3 and flash with odin.
Then use the rooting guide in my sig
Then do the other things I said.

Thank you very much. In the mean while I've managed to find exactly what you've said in your answer. I've choose the gingerbread version of the ROM cause that was what the phone had when I've bought it.
SO, now is it safe to go on ICS like I did half an hour ago with that Gingerbread rom?
Thank you and sorry about the noob question, never used an Samsung, only HTC.
Yeah just do what I said.......not what you think!.

Did it, thank you very much. The phone start but somehow I've lost my IMEI number and base band. I must be really unlucky.
I've read that Odia can help in this matter but if anybody has any idea, I'll be happy to make a donation for getting back the IMEI number.
Once again thank you very much.

People contact Odia when theres a problem with their efs folder/no backup.
But you should have a backup and a nand backup.
I had the same problem yesterday and I restored efs folder/restored nand backup.....which got it back.
So try that or theres a thread about "restore imei in 9 easy steps".

I know I was stupid enough not to read before flashing, but now it too late to think about that.
the thing is I've never used a galaxy phone until these days and I wasn't aware of all this things and I don't know how to restore this NAND backup IF I have one, as I didn't make any backup before flushing. I hope I'll get some help from somebody and as I've said, a nice donation will be on the way to the helper.
Try GSII repair app.But you have to be rooted.

If you don't bother reading the warnings on this site before messing around with your phone, you and you alone are to blame.
Wiping while on stock 4.0.4 is inviting trouble with the brickbug.

Very good 1st post.There is nothing wrong with that guide.It roots the phone via temp cwm.
So you then flash like a siyah 4.1.5.zip kernel which gives you perm cwm and leaves you safe from brickbug.
Your mistakes were
1.wiping when not instructed to
2.not having safe kernel when wiping

Everything Works Execpt wake after screen of

Fellow S3 users,
I am hopeless because i try almost everything but 1 problem remains.
PROBLEM: Phone doesn't react after screen is of for 5 sec. (And when i reboot the samsung animation hangs just a little bit)
''Did some heavy benchmarks to see if is going to freeze but they run as they should no problem at all''
What i did try to solve:
- Wipe/Factory
- Wipe Cache
- Wipe Dalvik
- Wipe Batt Stats
- Mega Wipe (app)
- Format cache/system/preload/data/sdcard
- Flash different Roms Stock 4.0.4, 4.1.1, 4.1.2
- Flashed 4.0.4 and did a OTA to 4.1
- CM 10
- Darkys
- Omega
- Foxhound
- Revolution
And i did this over and over again.
Wiped everything for over 15 times
Flashed roms for over 15 times
ATM i am on the Dutch Stock 4.1 that i updated trough OTA
But there has to be something stuck on the system??? Or is it a hardware problem (buttons work fine don't hang)
If someone is able to give me the right instructions to solve this problem then i am prepaired to donate some money to buy some hamburgers or beers. :good:

Try to bring it back to stock (official firmware) and see if the problem is still there. Flash original Samsung firmware via Odin.

When you bought your s3, did it have that problem or was it after you began flashing that it occurred.
You mentioned that your on Dutch stock now. Did you note were your original firmware was from, like typing *#1234#, would give you values for AP, CP and CSC.
I mean the values for *#1234# just before you did any flashing or update.
My point is maybe, originally the firmware was from a different region as compared to what is on it now even though it is stock. Bring it to the original firmware region. If you did that also, I guess I am stuck also. Hope someone can help you.
Like my s3, originally its firmware was from region Kenya. Updated official firmware but chose a new region.

Thanks for help but i thought about that .. i flashed different roms including my own country and others.

[Q] Troubleshoot my Phone

I was switching my phone off and then on again when suddenly all the icons and customization I made went back to factory default. My installed apps are still there but they will crash once I open them.
Is there any way to find out what is the issue and how to resolve this? My phone is rooted by the way but I have been using for a year with no problems.
Thanks!

Is there a guide for wipe/reset? Does this mean the phone will go back to the factory 'unrooted' state?
Any help is appreciated as I don't want to mess things up further, thank you!
If you fullwipe you will lose all data on your phone exept for internal or external sd. Also this will not affect root.
This is safe exept if you're running 4.0.4, than you first have to flash a custom kernel who has the brickbug patched.
