Guys please help - ROM flashing issues - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Weird problem with my phone chaps, can you please help?
I can flash CM9 & CM10 with no issues. I can flash it via restore (CWM) or through a wipe.
I can flash CheckROM V4 Via ODIN with no issues, but I am unable to flash anything I download through the kitchen. I get a bootloop or it gets stuck at the Boot up Samsung logo.
Similarly, I am unable to flash any other ROM apart from CM9/CM10 via recovery. It gets stuck at the boot logo. I've wiped all the caches, and even tried to flash checkrom via Odin to see if this resolves the issues, but unfortunately not.
Is this a case of flashing an original Samsung ROM, then re-rooting and starting over?
I will be grateful if anyone can offer some assistance!

Are you doing a full wipe factory reset in recovery before flashing a ROM? you mentioned you wiped cache thats it

Maybe Megawipe or Superwipe script can help. You can try it if you haven't gone with flashing original firmware.

Im noob on this,i dont understand your response.
Take a look at the noob guide. If i am not mistaken, you need to wipe data/cache

I already made that,and its the same.
what about wiping dalvik? i am not sure if that would help, so you'd better wait for another opinion before wiping dalvik.
remove battery.
flash another roms.
sometime custom roms not compatible with custom kernel.
Well,i had to use Odin again and i lost all my APPs and data.Thanks everybody.

[Q] Help Phone Wont Boot Past AT&T Screen

Hi,
I just bought an AT&T SGS2. I began by rooting it, flashing cwm and trying to flash MIUI. But the phone would not boot up. So I downloaded ODIN one click back to stock and flashed that, but the phone still does not boot past the AT&T screen. I've tried flashing different roms from cwm none of which boot up.
Please point me in the right direction to get the phone to boot.
Thanks
Can you get into cwm? Id bet you didn't wipe before you flashed

+1 this.
boot into cwm>factory wipe data/factory>delete cache partition>delete dalvik cache> install zip from sdcard>pick your ROM...
Thanks guys wiping the all the caches did the trick. I didn't know it was a requirement for this phone. I came from a Captivate where is wasn't required to wipe everything.

He doesn't have CWM if he used the one-click back to stock, unless it failed and didn't flash a kernel. Stock kernel has 3e recovery.

Even on the Captivate, you had to wipe whenever flashing a new ROM. Returning to stock is, effectively, flashing a new ROM (the stock one).

Try to update cmw recovery to the latest one. Just update it threw rom manager and make sure you pick the right phone and carrier in the list.
I tried doing so,bur i only get like 7 phones from that list

You'll need to flash CM9 first, then the options will show up. Its looking for a specific name in your build.prop, and CM9 or AOKP should get it to show up.
Tried doing cm9 does not work also

after you flash CWM recovery.
did you wipe cache partition and wipe dalvik cache?
wiping those before flashing new rom usually solve the problem.
i usually wipe data/factory reset too but doesn't require
i suggest you back up your un-corrupted efs folder contain your IMEI first before you flash anything.
dont be like me. =)

It's look like a bootloop.
Try to enter from recovery for wipe data /factory reset ,wipe dalvik and wipe dalvik cache.

i tried this and didnt work, now i realized that i installed siyah kernel by mistake, how can i go back to the original rom..and no i didnt do any back up for the rom!
What doidn´t work exactly?
Entering recovery or doing a factory reset?
If you are able to enter recovery mode, try as "KeTuRr74" described. After that flash your rom again and try to boot without flashing a new kernel.
Original means for you? Samsung and provider stock rom?

Try to install an other kernel for your rom if it's bootloop with the kernel.

yes into the internal Storage
Install any ROM after full wipe: system, data, cache, dalvik cache and, if existing, the Android-maps in internal&external storage. There will be no essential rests of the previous ROM!
If you find something, post it.

It's an emulated sdcard.Is totally normal when you flash a new rom.When you flash any Rom you will just wipe data not emulated storage
