Im using the RGUI MIUI rom for SGSIII, i accidentally applied a new theme (non MIUIv4) and now my phone wont boot. Stuck at "samsung logo". Is it possible to remove the new theme somehow without using data/factory reset? if i reflash to the same rom without using data/factory reset will it work and still have my apks? Thanks a lot in advance.

You have to do a full wipe.
Same thing happened to me where I tried to install the windows phone 7 Miui theme... Kept boot looping.
Lucky I had an Miui back up

Hi! I've searched on and off this forum, my husband and I are on the road all week and his phone had been rooted over a year ago by myself, no splashy roms and no problems. His screen froze so he booted, now stuck in bootloop. I have gone into recovrry but its not working. I'm hesitant to wipe data without computer access. He is active military and needs his phone. I will have computer access in the next few days. Please help!

If you can't get out of the boot loop without wiping data or sbf'ing there's nothing you can do but that. If you are in cwr you can try wiping delvik and cache but if not wiping data couldn't hurt since you'll lose everything doing an sbf anyway. Hope this helps

what do you mean, recovery is not working?
when you see android andy, you have to press both volume buttons
to continue to recovery options

Don't think she was saying that her recovery doesn't work, think she meant that going into didn't help. Although I am not sure what she thought just loading the recovery would accomplish?
Any who, GL!

This. Seems to always stop those little, alien like happenings regardless of the device.
I'm curious to know what exactly you tried to do in recovery -- did you try to restore a nandroid?

I have an AT&T i717 running ics stock rom. I installed cwm 5.0. something and was intending on installing the CM10 JellyBean rom from paranoid. It would not install from sd card. tried another rom from diff developer, same thing. I read that I needed an updated cwm so I tried to flash another, wouldnt work with the version of ODIN i had so i upgraded to v3.07, was able to flash another and then when I went to recovery it stayed in a black screen, reflashed the older version of cwm and now when I go to recovery it will show the main screen, but if I try to install or even reboot it takes the menu away and shows the symbol in the center. Am I just completely stupid? Have I missed something?

Did it work?
Figured it out. Cleared both cache and delvik Cache and did a factory reset. worked like a charm. thanks for the help and I hope this helps others as well.
Just for future reference, also wiping system along with wiping cache/dalvik and factory reset is good practice. Sometimes not wiping system can cause some issues.

Have you tried flashing a stock ROM from TWRP?
-------edit----------
I just remembered. This used to happen on the Note 2 at times. If you're booting and get the Samsung splash screen, try going to TWRP and doing a Factory Reset a couple times. No idea if it will work, but with the Note that would usually clear whatever block existed and allow the ROM to boot past the splash screen. Good luck.

If it exists, it would basically be that ROM stuck into a .zip file which could be flashed from TWRP. I'm not sure it exists, was just browsing the Dev thread for you to see if anyone posted it. There is a version here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2292707 , but I'm not familiar with Loki enough to say whether or not you have it.

If Odin isn't working for you, a solution might be had via TWRP since you can still get into the recovery. If you flash your ROM or try your backup, does the install complete or does it crash? Have you wiped cache, dalvik, system, and data before the flash?
-edit-
Sorry, just saw your OP where you said you wiped and tried. If I were you my next step would be trying a different ROM just to see if you can get something booting.

Trying again. First wiping wiped cache, dalvik, system, and data , then restoring back up. I've tried this multiple times before hopefully it works this time. But generally when i hit reboot system afterward it just hangs at the Samsung Galaxy IV boot screen and does nothing.

After your backup restores, try using TWRP to do a Factory Reset a couple times before rebooting. Also wipe cache/dalvik again before the boot.

I would try downloading a ROM to your computer then copying it to a microsd, put the card in your phone and then try to flash the fresh ROM from TWRP. (After wiping everything again.)

Well went to restart the phone and now its stuck on a Samsung logo with a unlocked icon thats says custom underneath it and just sits there.
Ok, so I've rooted 2 phones so far with no problem. But when I did it to my friend, the phone won't lauch the rom any more (tried with slimbean).
I used this method before I installed slimbean: http://scientimystic.wordpress.com/...i9100-having-android-4-1-2-official-firmware/
After installing it, it wouldn't load. So I reinstalled my backup that I did after I rooted, and nothing, the phone is just stuck on the galaxy s2 screen and a yellow exclamation triangle below.
I can boot into cwm or download mode, but I can't transfer files on my phone I think.
Please help, if it was my phone I wouldn't be so desperate but I really don't want to screw up my friends phone.
If you can boot into cwm and download mode it aint bricked.
All it is....is a borked OS......I'm guessing that if you were on JB before, that when you backed up, you didn't include the preload partition. If your chosen custom rom zip is still on your phone, boot into cwm and flash it again. Thiss time though, before you reboot the phone post flash, wipe cache, dalvic and data.....then reboot.

Hey, ok then well I thought bricked meant you can't load the rom.
My backup actually worked now so all is ok, but I can't install any custom rom - every one of them just loops indefinitely at the loading once I flash it, and after that it won't do anything until i revert my backup.
Are you sure you're rooted?

Yes, I used the guide in the link and checked some apps that required root.
Your custom rom installs......are you doing the post install wipes?
Are you waiting long enough for the phone to complete the first boot?
It always takes longer than usual for that initial boot......

Yes, I wiped the cache afterwards and I waited enough.. 15 minutes sure is enough of a wait, is it not?
Yeah....15 minutes is plenty long enough......but when I said wipes....I didn't mean just cache....I meant dalvic and data too.....

Clearly, you haven't wiped data.
