Just sticks on the galaxys s3 logo
Well you can try hit factory reset (will wipe everything, including internal storage)
Flashing cwm via Odin
Flashing a stock ROM via Odin.

When the ROM is booting it usually stays on the Samsung logo for a few minutes as it boots/builds dalvik-cache and all that jazz.
How long did you wait?
Do you have Odin already?
You'll need to download a stock ROM to flash first of all, or if you want there is am Odin flashable version of the jellybean ROM you flashed.

Oh OK, you'll need to flash it so.
download whatever stock ROM you need from samfirmware.com or the jellybean leaked one (Odin in title) and we'll talk then. (700+mb)
You can flash whatever firmware you want from samfirmware.com (obviously for gt-i9300) but region doesn't matter, I used XXBLG8 firmware. (UK)

Chainfire didn't get rid of your recovery, stock android has a file in ota's which overwrites custom recoveries on boot, i think flashing cf-root seems to solve this problem, I still have my custom recovery after several reboots.
Chainfire3d may not be compatible with sammy jellybean just yet.

Earlier today tried flashing an original firmware on my Galaxy S2 using this file GT-I9100_XEU_I9100XWLP7_I9100XXLPS_I9100XEULP5.tar. Everything passed through Odin but seems my device doesn't want to boot flashing this. I also installed the Litening_Rom_v6-1.tar.md5 after that and again didn't want to boot through Odin.
I did manage to get into CWM and restore a nandroid backup and it boots fine now.
I am selling my S2 tomorrow and wanted to put it back to stock. Is there any way through CWM to flash a stock rom and unroot as seems odin is causing problems. If the CWM way isn't possible can anyone point me in the right direction for an original rom that will work.
Any help appreciated.
By the way i am on an unbranded S2 form Uk.
When you were flashing in Odin did you flash the kernel, recovery and the system? Or just the system?

Just flashed the file above with the pda button. (Only gave me the .tar file)
It is caused by not making a wipe cache and data before flash. Before selling, format also /system. First of all reset counter with Triangle Away if not yet

Will this mthod take me back to stock after I have done it?
Use the Odin instructions from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1544487
Remember to select the PDA option, not other options on Odin. That should work without needing to format system, cache and dalvik cache. If it really doesn't work report here. And try to flash other Roms, like the NEE 4.0.4 (last one released).

With those steps you have an empty phone. If you flash a stock ROM you get your phone like when you bought it

[SOLVED]
Hi guys, so I just bought an SIII and after a long and fruitful relationship with my SII, I decided to flash stock and sell the thing.
Unfortunately it won't boot. I was previously running ASNET MIUI on the thing, just downloaded a stock 4.0.3 firmware and flashed it, but it just doesn't go past the S logo on the boot animation. I've tried flashing about 6 different firmwares through Odin, unbranded, O2 branded and frankenstein, and none get past the boot animation.
Download mode still works and recovery works. I've tried just flashing different kernels through Odin as well but doesn't work.
So I've got no idea how to get the thing to boot and it's no longer rooted so no CWM to flash a custom ROM over it, and thinking I'd just wipe the thing and go back to stock I wiped all the internal memory meaning losing all my back ups etc so can't just restore.
Any help guys? It's O2 locked which is why I tried flashing some O2 branded firmwares. Just wanna sell the damn thing already.
You must flash 3 file stock firmware with repartition (and correct, newest pit of cource).
But be aware of repartitioning risk.

What'd you mean? :s
I mean that repartition could be risky if it fail. I never had any problem with any of my sgs line phone but if it stuck at bootloader flashing than you will hardbrick your phone. But I don't won't to scare you. Probably everything will be flashed without any problems. Some roms changing stock partition layout and that why you need do repartition it while backing to stock firmware.

Oh no I get that part, I mean what do you mean by 3 file stock firmware? Usually everytime I've ever Odin'd something it's just the one file in PDA?
Firmware with separate PDA, CSC and modem. Those firmwares usualy have full wipe commands implemented in scripts.
This is the best solution if you like to have absolutly stock factory state without any junks from previous soft.

You don't need a 3 part Odin package, just go to intratechs post & grab the single file Cf root kernel & stock XEU firmware

Well, be cautious when you flash it. It could ruin your phone if you flash the wrong one. I personally haven't ever used it because of that risk.

Hello guys!
My problem is that I wanted to root my freind's I9100, but something went totally wrong...
Now my problem is that the bootloader doesn't seem to work... I hold the power button, the screen lights up, nothing happens for 1-2 minutes, it crashes and it all begins again.
The only thing that is working (I think) is the Download mode...
I tried to flash VillainROM v1.1 (I read that it would solve the problem somewhere), but it didn't work...
Also with that ROM I can get to the recovery, but unfortunately it can't find the storage (Of course I have a backup on there...)
I'm really worried right now, because it's not mine...
Please help me! :crying:
If you can get into Download mode, then flash a stock rom and see if that fixes your problem.

Didn't work for me... Any other ideas?
EDIT: I waited some minutes and now it says "KERNEL PANIC UPLOAD MODE" any ideas?
EDIT2: I've done a lot of research now and it seems like I have an emmc-brick which can only be fixed by re-partitioning... does anyone know where I can get the PIT file and if that would fix it? THANKS
what method did u use to root??
I didn't root it, i installed CWM recovery, wiped system, and then when i tried to wipe data it crashed...

I don't think that this makes a difference, root basically is just some modified system files, isn't it?
and with a new rom the old system partition gets wiped completely
I dont think its super bricked if u can power on the device. try to get into download mode and flash a stock rom. If you have warranty you better take your phone to samsung repair centre

Only the rom, with bootloader, with all 4 parts, with pit, only pit, only kernel, pit & all 4 parts, nothing seems to work...

& when I flashed VillianROM v1.1 it gets me into recovery, but it always says that it can't find E:\*

No it cant be. If you can power on your device its not super bricked..If it was super bricked your phone would be just a piece of plastic that gets heat up near the camera area. you should have just flashed a safe kernel like siyah using odin. Its perfectly safe. you must have ticked the repartition on Odin
Your data partition is corrupted. And only flashing a .pit file would save your phone. If it doesnt, i think samsung is the only way...

Ok to cut a long story short I've had to send my HTC One back off for repair so it will be away for a week or so, so I still have a GT-S5380i that I was given from my dad as a spare, thought what the hell last night and decided to flash a custom rom to make it at least a little bit better than it is as stock. So I spotted Touchwiz-Resurrected ROM and followed the guide on how to root and install clockwork mod, which was fine then flashed the rom, that seemed to go fine until I noticed no data or cellular connection and someone said I've probably lost my imei, checked that and he was correct the IMEI was blank, so basically thought what the hell flash back a stock rom using odin, did that and all seemed well, odin reported success and rebooted to be stuck at the Samsung splash screen and that's as far as I can get, I can get into download mode but no matter which version of odin I use or which stock rom I try and flash I cannot get past the splash screen despite odin saying it succeeded, I can also still get into cwm but that seems to take ages?? done full wipes reinstalls blah blah but cant get it to boot
So obviously somewhere along the line I've messed up but the fact I can get into download mode and cwm made me think I could somehow get it back?
Any ideas?
