Have you tried flashing the rom again?

try flashing stock rom through odin..

actly after flashing kernel.i tried to get into recovery mode by pressing those three buttons simultaneously ,got yellow triangle along with samsung galaxy s2(during my earlier part i removed this thing via triangle away,so i will take care of this later but the current problem is that am not able to reach the clockwork mod to recover ma backup.meanwhilw am searching other thread and i got to know that perhaps flashing cm9 resurrection rom edition via odin will make the things moving

that will take some time though as am on my way to download it.secondly i already hav cm9 nightly with me in pc.can i flash the same or i can only do it with resurrection edition.

.thankz

greetings paramvir ^^
if you can get into down load mode just flash your stock firmware -=or=- an Odin compatible custom ROM...
ph may not restart properly after...
reboot into recovery using buttons & do full wipes & reboot
you should be up & running again...

Phone stuck in boot loop.

My phone is stuck in some kind of a boot loop... i can get it into download mode but cant get it into cwm. I have tried flashing lots of stuff via odin but it doesn't make any difference. Is there any way I can fix this?
weird O.O do you mean bootanimation is looping cause you can actually get into CWM before the bootanimation
nope clockwork mod has disappeared D:
After installing new ROM did u again wiped cache or data?? If so reinstalling would be better,,
I reinstalled using odin
try to reset factory settings and clear cache after installing...

By flashing via Odin with a stock rom, you'll loose CWM. You have to flash CWM again to get it back. But as you described it, you can't even get into Recovery mode (blue Samsung recovery screen with HOME+Power button combo)?
^^
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If u can't get to recovery mod then flash a new firmware from sammobile via Odin

I had this problem also.
I reloaded a new stock rom from sam and loaded it with odin, after the install I turned the phone on with the power button + the home button and did a factory reset and wipe catch.
And that worked.
u need to hold the power button + home button till you get in the menu.
I came from cm7.1 and went to stock rom 2.3.5.
Hope get it. Otherwise post your steps from which rom you came.

or...
when phone is off, hold power button and home button in the same time.
when the phone is showing samsung, you can release the power button, but keep hold the home button until recovery menu showed

I didn't get it. You are not able to boot into recovery? If so then you haven't flashed CMW properly. Try again and get into recovery by volume up + center button + power button.

[Q] soft brick after 4.2

Hello
I'm stuck at a boot loop.
History:
Installed the omega rom with the new 4.2 android.
but I forgotton to do a titanium backup.. no worries I had my nandroid.
I was trying to restore but CWM couldn't find my backup.. it said it couldn't open the directory.. soo I plugged the phone into my computer, transferred the whole backup tp the external sd.. Same thing.. CWM couldn't open the directory..
So I flashed my old Team HD 9.1 rom.. And now here I am ?? stuck at the samsung logo..
Any good advices? I flashed around a 50 roms, and all the same way..
I cant open recovery or download mode.. as soon as I insert the battery it starts right at the samsung logo
Thank you
P.s Please let me now if it's all nonsense, english isn't my major lagnguage
So you can't even reach recovery? I mean first you said you couldn't find backup in CWM and after that you can't enter download or recovery mode?
Anyways while you're stuck on boot screen try holding vol down + home + power buttons until it restarts and see if that's gonna work...

After not finding my backup, I flashed Team HD 9.1 (which is 4.1) everything here went fine at first sight.
But it didnt..
I cannot reach recovery or download mode, no matter what. cant find the phone in ADB or odin
succes!
Finally
I was almost feeding my phone to my cat..
After I tried Vol up + home 200 times, and vol down 200 times, I came into Download
I downloadet this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2002953&highlight=cwm+odin
Very nice recovery.
And it has 1 major option.. custom restore, and then restore from 4.2 patch.
I didn't know that 4.2 changes anything in the directorys.. but it must be that havenn't done my homework!
I'm up and running now!
thank you

S3 Stuck on Samsung Logo

S3 Stuck on Samsung Logo
Hey guys, i was using a custom ROM and i flashed the stock ROM with odin but my phone got stuck on Samsung logo. Then i remembered i forgot to enable USB debugging. Could it because of that? and my volume buttons are not working so i cant go into download or recovery mode and o tried using adb, device not found. Im thinking about going into download mode with an USB jig and flash the stock ROM with odin again. Do you think it will work? Thanks*

similar thing happened to me but my aim was to install back to n00t kitkat 4.4.4
you could try flash it again if it doesnt work you could get twrp and flash a custom rom (if you want to) that saved my s3 from getting stuck on samsung logo

you need to get your phone in downloading mode so first of all turn off your phone and then
press HOME + VOL DOWN + POWER BUTTON HOLD IT then you will see something about customroms and some other text in green. now plug in your phone and Odin Should recognise it, then you can flash twrp on it (.tar format)
To get twrp just search "twrp-2.8.6.1-i9300.tar " (without quotes) and then you should find some results.
How to flash TWRP
once twrp-2.8.6.1-i9300.tar is downloaded go on odin and click PDA and navigate to twrp-2.8.6.1-i9300.tar and click start and your all done
How to get into Recovery
HOME + VOL UP + POWER BUTTON HOLD IT FOR 2 SECONDS

[Tip: if u want to forcefully go into download mode hold volume down and power until a black screen appears then hold volume down+home+power button to go to download mode....
[Edit:did some research there is no available twrp for sm t113....so u must have flashed wrong twrp and gotten ur self in this problem....]

U could have flashed the home_csc file in the csc slot instead of regular csc in odin....doing so will make ur device not wipe data....
Still tho happy to know it works
