I have a i9100M that I got recently.
I've been flashing a few different ICS ROMS to try with 100% success and the phone has been awesome.
Then I decided it was getting annoying installing and setting up all of my applications every time I switched to a new ROM so I figured I'd try using the Titanium Backup "All System Data and User Apps" backup and restore.
So I did that, after the restore was done (I went from CM9 to Resurrection Remix 2.5) Everything was working fine for a few minutes but when I was going through some of the RR2.5 settings, the phone suddenly reboot and is now stuck at the boot screen.
It will show the boot animation forever, I've left it for up to about an hour trying to boot.
I can get in to download mode and I've successfully flashed other mods, including a stock ICS image I found somewhere (it was a UK one but I figure that probably doesn't matter?) and they all will just get stuck at the boot animation forever.
Where do I go from here?? Thanks in advance!
If you can't get into recovery to do a factory reset, you only option is to flash something in download mode. If you want to use CM9, use the 'n00b proof' method on the first page of the CM9 discussion thread & flash the Resurrection edition, then the latest nightly & Gapps.
Or flash a stock rom in download mode with Odin, root your phone then restore a backup. Or you could also do a clean install of whatever custom rom you want once you've rooted your phone.

Hi MistahBungle, thanks for the quick response.
Is there by chance a stock rom that you can suggest? I tried one that I found through google and it flashed fine, but it still won't finish booting.
I've tried flashing Resurrection again as well and still had no luck :-/

Try XWLPG. Although there are new roms uploaded by sammobile awhile ago. One thibg you did erong was you restored a system app. You shouldn't have done that.
Edit: Just to make sure, look at sammobile.com for the latest firmware for your phone. Although i9100 and i9100M is similar in hardware, better flash one that is specifically for your device

Hi,
my tab was running great since month with CM9. 2-3 updates a week did not created any problems at all. Everything worked great.
Until i downloaded the
cm-9-20120617-NIGHTLY-p4wifi.zip
update. After applying that update & gapps, wipe cache my tab got stuck at the CID bootanimation. I left there for almost 30 minutes. Nothing happened. I had the update cm-9-201206-NIGHTLY-p4wifi.zip & gapps flashed it in CWM wipe cache still stuck at the CWM bootanimation.
Then flashed it again, wipe cache, wipe data factory, wipe dalvik cache same problem.
My last option was installing a stock rom via odin. At first it rebooted at the samsung logo then i flashed it again and i got lot of red error messages on the tab screen. I barely get it into download mode at all.
Which rom should i flash ??? I think i need flash the bootloader. I dont want to try it again and mess the tablet up at all.
Please advise and safe my tablet.
Are you developing ROMs or Kernels..............................NO.
Which section is this?????...........................................Android Development!!!!!
SO why do you start a Question-Thread in Android Development??????
Com on give the man a break and this is not your task but the mod's.
And he is a litle pist because his tab went dead so he likes a answer for his problem,and then you can easy make this mistake to post it in the wrong section.
Your problem did try to flash the stock rom with odin.
Be kind receive kind.
Regards
Does the stock ROM boot normally?
If not try to get the .pit for your device and then restore the partitions.
When everything works you should be able to flash again as you like.
I personally would recommend you to stay with CM9 nevertheless, it's the most stable ICS ROM I could find.
And don't flash the bootloader... if you've never flashed it before then there's no need to do so now.
sorry i thought since CM9 is getting developed i should post it here.
I would like to stay with CM9 but i do not have the tar file to flash it with odin.
I cant flash the stock. See the screenshot above with the error messages.
Which pit file should i use to flash the stock rom.
Questions go in the Q&A section
Hi,

i've tried flashing several roms using cwm and through rom manager. every time i get stuck on the the samsung screen after reboot, which takes about 30 seconds after initiating flash. i've never had a problem installing anything on my phones or my nook color. it's been nothing but a paper weight for the last year and it's going to the landfill if i can't figure it out soon.
Did you try to wipe data/factory reset/ wip cachd and wipe dalvik?
all of it. follow directions for each rom exactly. i always end up in the same spot

How much you wait? After I flashed the Galaxy Task 14 room earlier this day it took several minutes to load.
Certain ROMS require an older version of CWM, such as CM9. If that is the latest version you have installed it may not work. Maybe try using ODIN to flash the recommended version (you can easily find that in the CM9 Nightly threads or simply by searching around)?

Can you link us to the CWM 5.8.3.1 recovery your using???
As far as I know this is the latest version of CWM http://droidbasement.com/db-blog/?p=2655 as of 6/30 and it's only 5.5.0.4.
As far as Googling is telling me...
1. It may be a touch recovery?
2. I couldn't find a many search returns that mentioned it being for Tab10.1s
3. The search returns I did find that mentioned Galaxy Tabs were in languages I don't read.
Just curious don't ya know...

my recovery is listed on the cwm site under rom manager. it's not touch
now i'm curious as to what version everyone else is using
okay. so i flashed 5.5.0.4 through odin then flashed aokp m4 plus gapps. all seemed to go well until boot time. i've been sitting at the samsung screen for a full 20 minutes now. i suppose my next course of action would be to revert to stock via odin and start the process over? i'd really like to use this thing but absolutely can't stand tw
you may have gotten a corrupt partition somewhere. I'd odin back to stock and start fresh. fwiw, I wouldn't trust ROM Manager for the latest recovery, it doesn't always have the correct file for your device. For example, for may particular phone Rom Manager had never worked properly and soft-bricks the phone every time.
Always check here on XDA for the proper recovery files for this device first.
that's all i needed to hear. now, can anyone point me in the direction of the file i need? my searches all point to S0ckM0nk3y's link which results in a 404 error
disregard my last post. i flashed sam's ics via odin. i'll play with it and try to like it. thank you sir
huh. still can't flash a custom rom...
Well, I don't know what I did but i was able to get MapleSyrup's CM10 preview to run. I'm happy for now
Are you doing a factory reset and wiping the cache in CWM before you flash? I always do that and then use titanium backup to restore my apps.
Also, what version of recovery are you using? I'm on CWM 5.5.0.4 which I've used to flash a couple of different roms, including the latest stock ICS from Toldo I think.
you can get it here and use ODIN to flash. Just make sure you download the correct version for your device:

i had the same problem. i flash stock ics rom for my 7510. at first it looks fine until i try to reboot my tab. it starts to hang at the bootscreen. i try to reflash the rom via recovery but fail. try to install nandroid backup and also fail. the last resort is to do clean flash from odin. this thing happened 5 times in 3 days. one time after i install all the apps and try to restart my tab then it happened again, stuck at bootcscreen.
Just got a GSIII today and have been trying some JB ROMS out, but so far I have not been able to get WiFi working at all with any of them.
I have tried Vanilla RootBox, LiquidJB and SuperNexus but whilst I can see my WiFi AP on all of them and can enter my password all I get is the "Connecting..." message for ages before it gives up?
WiFi works fine on the stock ROM, and there are no obvious settings on the WiFi router itself which would be causing this.
Any advice appreciated!

Thanks, I just spotted a couple of threads mentioning this.
Couple of questions, when you say flash back to stock does that mean through CWM Recovery, or some other way? Does it have to be a straight flash to a downloaded stock ROM or am I able to just "restore" the backup I made?
Thanks again!

Cool, so I've got Odin (I believe that's what I used to root the phone?) Is there a specific .zip I need to flash back to? Also do I need to boot back in to the stock ROM or just stick JB straight back on again?
Please note, when you have flashed back to ics you need to then set up phone and connect to Wi-Fi once, then proceed to flash jb

Excellent. Do I need to download a specific "Stock ICS" ROM to do this? Any pointers as to where I can find this?
Thanks for the help people
I seem to remember I just flashed an old wannamlite Rom in cwm
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646610
These ones. (4.0.4)
Or try http://fus.nanzen.se/
This is if you want to find the original firmware your phone came with.
I'm still not having much luck with this.
Should I be wiping before I flash back to ICS, and then again before back to JB?
I think a wipe before flashing ICS is enough.
But watch the youtube video on the first post on :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646610
It pretty much explains every part of returning to stock ICS. From there it is just reflashing JB with odin and wifi should work.
Hmm, still not having much luck. I've installed my JB ROM, wiped, gone back to stock ICS using the ROM from the link provided above in ODNI.
But now when I try to reboot in to recovery to re-flash my JB ROM I seem to get a different version of recovery from what I had before and it fails during verification when I try to flash the .zip.
Any advice welcome!
I'm having the same problem here.
BUT, even flasing stock ICS and flasing a custom JB ROM after that does not solve the issue.
Here is what I did in what order. Maybe I'm missing some essential point or whatever:
- full wipe in cwm recovery
- flash stock ICS via Odin (I9300XXBLH3_I9300DBTBLH4_I9300XXLH1_HOME.tar)
- reboot and test WiFi. WiFi works fine! Firmware is 4.0.4
- flash CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4 to gain root again
- boot into CWM Recovery, format /preload (to get rid of apps installing themselves on boot)
- another full wipe
- install zip from sdcard (tried AOKP JB build 4 for i9300 and ParanoidAndroid v2.22)
same old ****! WiFi not conecting!
I would apeciatie any help to solve this problem for me. Aparently reverting to stock ICS has solved this for others but I dont get what I'm donig wrong her...

you need to root again flashing 'CF-Root' via Odin to get CWM recovery. I guess.

Okay so I Re-rooted with CF-Root through ODIN and have got CWM recover back, but now when I re-flash JB I still get the same problems, try to connect to WiFi and it just sits there saying "Connecting..." and then gives up!
Is there a specific set of steps for doing this? I connected to WiFi whilst back on the Stock ICS ROM (LG8) and that worked fine, I have tried various combinations of wiping/not wiping at each stage in between JB->ICS->JB with no luck. Do I need a particular Stock ROM to go back to, do I have to use a specific version of ODIN/CF-Root/CWM?
Very annoying as everything else about the Jelly Bean ROMS seems perfect!
Has anyone worked out why JB ROMS are doing this?
I have the same problem
It seems to work for some people to go back to ICS and then flash JB ROMs, but somehow it does not work for us..
I'm trying an old stock ICS now and the will flash cm10. lets see if that helps
I've downloaded a selection of stock and custom ICS roms to try with the process, hopefully something will do the trick!
Also I don't think changing router settings can have anything to do with this as it works fine for every other device I own, including a different handset running JB. However out of curiosity I spent last night playing with all the settings to see if anything would help. It didn't

Hey there,
Today I received an MHL-adapter for my Galaxy S3 and wanted to try it out. Since it didn't work in combination with Slim Bean I decided to flash another rom (more on the sammy side of things). Coming across a thread with a guy pointing out a so called Chameleon crossover rom, I decided to give it a go, downloaded and flashed it. I shat bricks as I saw that, in my euphoria to try the adapter, I flashed a rom that was meant to be for the Galaxy S2!
So I restarted into recovery and tried to perform a full wipe, which didn't work, because it wasn't able to load the partitions (data etc.) then I tried to flash on a recent backup of Slim Bean, which was only partly succsessfull, meaning, that it flashed but couldn't wipe because of the reason mentioned above.
Booting into system doesn't work either, I just get a bootloop.
Right now im not quite sure, which step to take. Shall i flash on a clean stock-image via Odin or maybe try out something like One-Click UnBrick?
All your help and suggestions are highly appreciated!

Thank you so much for the quick response, I'm going to check whether it works and report back after it's done! :good:
G'Luck
Problem solved, thanks rootSU!
So, if someone is following this thread, I just want to share with you guys what I did and how it turned out:
I flashed the original firmware, according to region etc. via Odin, the procedure was succsessfull and I rebooted.
At first I had a bootloop, so I went into the stock recovery and hit "wipe /data and /cache", which was succsessfull as well, meaning that the previous problem with not being able to mount the partitions was resolved. So I went ahead and rebooted again aaand it booted!
Everything is working fine as far as i can tell, no misfunctions, hot reboots or anything similar.
Thanks very much for the quick response rootSU, which prevented me from hyperventilating .
I've rooted, unlocked bootloader and flashed stuff on my former phones (Htc Wildfire, Galaxy S) and I've never done anything like that before and nothing like that ever happened to me. So to anyone reading this, I highly encourage you not to be as dumb as me and to doublecheck what rom you're flashing and not to flash while being overly exicted about anything .
Does your adapter now work?

I was using cm 10.1 no problems then i updated to newest nightly for dec.4th and it updated with gmail and no playstore, superuser. i tried to DL the google services apk as well as the newest playstore apks, services did not install and the playstore did but cannot connect at all. I then downloaded the proper gapps for 4.3.1 and flashed it and now my phone is stuck on the startup screen. I have no backups anymore for some reason either, my cmw recovery is still good but with no backup i can't figure what to do about stock since checking sammobile i cannot find the proper stock firmware.
Im in canada and this phone was bought unlocked it's the international version but i don't know which region to flash since there is no canadian or US version on sammobile.
if anyone can help me i'd appreciate it im only looking for stock so i can start over again then re root and flash my rom again since i seem to be stuck.
please and thank you
If you're going to go back to a custom rom anyway, why would it matter what stock rom you flash ? You're only using it to get your phone working normally again so you can re-root it & flash CM/whatever again, you can flash whatever stock rom/for whatever country/carrier you want (but not Android 4.0.4 given you'll be re-rooting your phone immediately after).
Samfirmware's firmwares are unavailable at the moment due to HotFile being shutdown, go to AndroidFirmwares.net or Samsung-Updates.com, download a firmware, flash it with Odin & go from there.
Or if you have a removable micro SD card, you can download just your cusROM of choice (+ the associated gapps) to it via PC, put it in the phone, do a full wipe/format and flash it via your pre existing cwm.......no need to go back to stock at all......
This might be my S2, or it might be my W...but it's definitely CM
That's the way I did it and ended up being stuck at boot screen.
