Hey guys. I made the mistake of flashing an ICS rom for the international galaxy s2 (my phone is the I777) specifically this one. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1752034
After realizing my mistake, I decided to try to install CWM recovery over the E3 recovery. I did so then rebooted. Now the phone will display Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100 (which again is the wrong phone model) and then just hang up on a black screen.I'm not sure what to do at this point. I can't get into recovery or download mode. Thanks!
Flash back to stock first....

can you go to download mode? at least this would allow you to reflash a rom (stock for instance).

That's what i did a minute ago.
Was stucked on Samsung logo, but could enter in download mode, just reflashed a new firmware (Officcial) with ODIN and things went back to normal again.
Alternatively, if u can enter in CWM try to wipe everything and reboot. May solve it too.

By mistake I have flashed the Cameleon custom rom for S2 on my S3 and now the phone is stuck on the boot screen.
I have tried to reinstall the Omega Rom but nothing happens, it is still stuck on the boot screen.
Any ideas will be more than appreciated.
Thanks a lot.

ur S3 is softbricked buddy, only thing to do is tht u buy a USB JIG to restore download mode and flash official Samsung rom and then flash back ur regular rom.
NUFF SAID
if a bootloader is not included in the rom, you should be fine.
can you boot into download mode?
Solution found
Thanks a lot to all of you for your replies.
Apparently after you install the official samsung stock rom using the download mode, you have to go into recovery mode and do a data factory reset and the then the device boots up ok.
Thank God and all of yous the phone is up and running again

But you can search for "I9100G rom" stock xda
Well not able to flash Stock ROM
finally given in Phone market to get ROM Updated for Rs 300 ($6)
If you cant even do a simple thing as flashing a stock rom, stay away from rooting and Cyanogenmod! Please take my advice.

yesterday i tried to restore a previous system via CWM. At the end of the process when i rebooted the phone, my galaxy s2 i9100g was stucked, showing the logo : "samsung galaxy s 2 GT-I9100G". I tried to reboot again, and the same result, and also i cant seem to be able to get into recovery mode, it just won't work, the same logo appears over and over again
please help me, i don't know what to do.
i see now that i can get into sownloading mode, maybe i can flash a rom from the computer somehow??

does it have to be a stock, or can i flash a custom rom?
Not through odin no.
can you explain more, because i'm kind of new to those things. where can I get a stock, and how do i flash it using odin?
Get firmware from sammoblie. Say lsw firmwear and well here's the thing iv never had to use it so best bet follow the many many guides to use odin. One day I will have to use it but for now I don't no how to
Go over to that newbies thread and post all your current lame questions there.

Yes I Can enter recovery mode. I think I installed a kernel which is not made for my phone and I bricked my phone?

1) Are you sure it is for GT-S5830i? But first, are you sure that your device is an Ace-i?
2) Which kernel is it? You need to know whether it is for stock-based ROMs or for CM7.2 ROMs.
3) Download mode is more important. Can you access it with volume down + home + power?

Since you can enter the Recovery Mode, just flash any custom rom. Make sure to do Wipe data/ factory reset, Wipe cache partitions, Mounts & Storage> Format /system and Advanced> Wipe dalvik cache from CWM before you flash a rom. That should solve it. If that doesn't work, then flash the stock rom back using odin from the Download Mode. Do post the result. Hope I Helped

If your device is s5830i then flash rafael kernel then flash any stock based custom rom.

Bootloop S5389i
Hi there, i recently tried to install a custom rom on my ace s5839i but got stuck on the 'Galaxy Ace GT-S5389i' splash screen. I then managed to get it into download mode and install the stock ROM using odin. the process completes on the computer but on the phone it says 'failed to mount /data' and gets stuck in a new bootloop now between the 'SAMSUNG' and Vodafone logo. is there anything i can do about this? thanks in advance
