Hope someone can help. I originally rooted my phone via Odin after I had updated to ICS via Kies. It was all working perfectly.
I then got notified via Kies that there was a firmware update so I downloaded that. After this, my phone kept on crashing, restarting and a couple of other issues including not being able to take screenshots.
Last night I re-rooted my phone using Odin again. Weirdly, now my camera screen is black, whether I select the front or rear camera. I still can't take a screenshot. I've tried wiping the dalvik cache. I would be grateful for any help you can give me.

I guess you are on ICS 4.0.4.
Flash a custom kernel via Odin, Siyah (4.x) or Speedmod (latest version)
Problem solved!

Hi!
Perhaps you can flash another firmware? It may be a firmware bug that you are experiencing..
D
i hope this will help you, cheers
You can reflash the firmware using Odin. You can find non wipe ROMs in this forum so that you can retain your gallery and contacts and stuff

Hi Jokesy. I flashed the Siyah kernel and it appears to have fixed the problem! Incidentally, I wiped the cache and dalvik cache. Many thanks

Hey guys I've been experiencing random freezes on my phone mainly while connected to the internet,the phone freezes and completely stops working, I can hit the home button infinite times that nothing happens, I can lock the screen but they I can not do anything, so I then have to press the power and lock key until it reboots! This has happened to me 4 times just today two times using the browser, 1 time using Opera Mini and 1 time on the XDA app!
I have searched but what I found is people with the issue, no answers!
I'm running the stock UK firmware flashed through odin the XXALE8, with the latest LH1 modem flashed through CMW, and rooted with the S3 toolkit method! Just that, have had the phone for 7 days and this started happening 2 days ago and the phone has been rooted since the second day.
Anyone knows what this is related to? If removing root will help and if I should change the modem to another one (which one?)
Flash the XXBLG8 firmware via Odin.
I've never experienced that problem but it wouldn't hurt to be on the latest firmware.

Thanks for your reply! So the XXBLG8 is the latest one? If it is then I will download it right away! Oh and would it still be good to flash the LH1 modem? Or should I stay with the one it comes with?
Yes it's the latest UK one, there is LG9 but that's the same except it's for Asia.
The LH1 modem is the latest for the UK also so use that one.

Thanks again, I'll do that and let you know! And as an update, in te afternoon I wiped cache, and dalvik just to see if it would do anything but without success! And about an hour ago I found out that the freezes would occur whenever I enable the syncing! And I had to reboot it 4 times until I could disable the syncing, I don't know what this means, but it might be helpful!
A friend of mine has the same problem, and in fact, has already returned on S3 due to the same 'glitch,' as Verizon referred to it. I'm trying to get into TW to wipe that cache, but don't have time before the lockup. I disabled syncing, but that hasn't helped.
I'm trying now to connect to Kies to at least back up the contacts before a reset. No luck there either.
Hi
I searched and only found similar cases with other phones and no solution.
I was on stock 4.0.3 with CWM, rooted and siyah kernel and tried to upgrade to CM9
with Rom manager
i dled cm9 with gapps and let ROM Manager do the backup, wipe and reboot to recovery
but then i just saw the first GT 9100i boot screen with the triangle and after that
the screen stayed black.
i noticed in a darker area that the screen blinked everey few seconds, so i guess its trying to reboot all the time. some kind of bootloop?
i cant access the cwm, nor boot normaly.
just the download mode is working
so i tried to flash a stock FW from intratechs thread via odin
but... FAIL
help would be much appreciated right know :crying:
thank you
Mmm I've had issues with rom manager before but never this severe. All I can suggest is what I would do which is to fash stock firmware from samfirmware via PDA section in odin. If this doesn't work I think there is a sticky thread which is dedicated to situations like this. It requires flashing a firmware via odin again but all partitions are used so it will wipe your device. All the best.

Can you still get into Download Mode?
EDIT:
Try manually wiping data, cache and dalvik cache.
Try to go into recovery. Hold down volumen up, home key, and power on, at once hold them down ontil you reach recovery.

I had that problem too-a black screen with a flash down the rh side of the screen every few seconds.
I managed a repair via odin after a couple of attempts.

Flash a stock kernel then wipe everything the recovery it comes with. Also make your flashing roms for your 9100i model.

I have the very same problem as you.
I can enter download mode but can't enter recovery mode.
I can flash any rom I can find but all of them have no use.
Still can't boot nor recovery.
Have you fixed the problem just by reflashing stock rom?

Yes, that's our fault that haven't read enough before installing a software.
But is there any way to revive our phone?

the only way to revive ur phone, is to flash a stock ICS 4.0.3 firmware thro 'ODIN' and have a clean boot of ur phone
and never use 'Rom Manager' in the future
i recently installed via odin the stock jellybean release rom on my phone along with cfroot and simunlocker.
i have found the stock jellybean rom to have a few too many bugs for my liking and want to go back to stock ics.
I have downloaded the stock ics rom latest release and tried to flash it again using odin in the pda box, it all seems to go fine but then the phone only seems to reboot as far as the samsung logo then stops.
What have i done wrong and how do i fix it please (or should i just be waiting longer for it to boot from the samsung logo?)
thanks
Try boot into recovery and factory reset.

I have an i777, with ICS 4.0.3. It's an AT&T ROM, rooted via kernel replacement. If I open settings, then tap 'More...' settings stops with the error message in the subject. I can't get to any of the settings under 'More...' because of this. The phone seems to work just fine otherwise.
It's not bothering me too much, since the phone doesn't seem to have any other problems, but can anyone give me any advice on fixing this? Thanks...

ive never had this issue with any of the roms i have used. but maybe try clearing the cache partition and dalvik cache, or just do a whole reset and clear both caches and re-flash the rom.

I'm pretty sure that would not only wipe his memory, but also replace the kernel with the stock ICS one again, thus eliminating root.
OP, what kernel did you use to root? It might help us figure this out, though I've never heard of anything like this and I don't think many others have either.
yeah sounds like you need to wipe. do a full wipe and try again.

Flashed TWRP with same results. Can someone tell me what am I doing wrong
1 wipe dalvik, cache, system
2. flashed rom
wipe dalvik, fix permissions
with no avail. Can someone please help
Try flashing back to stock ICS with Odin. Then root and do all necessary steps. After you do all that DL the ROM you want and wipe data, cache, wipe system and dalvick cache. Now flash the ROM. Reboot phone, let it sit for at least 10 minutes. Try that and see if it helps.

Just finished trying that. flashed the stock back in but now the stock has also gone unstable. even small things like accessing the settings menu causes a reboot. Almost turning into a nightmare. Thanks for your help
Are you using correct technique? A factory reset the wiping all caches? What baseband is in the About Phone?
The fastest way to recover is to use Kies firmware and initialization to clean it up.
I read through many threads and followed the technique described there in but seems like when I flashed the black star rom something messed up. I am unsure what. Is there any way to get the phone to the default state? Thanks in advance for all your help with this nightmare

Yes, that is a t-mobile modem. If you are at&t you want the LF6 modem.
Kies emergency firmware recovery will restock your phone.
Thanks to all for your help.
Whoa.....finally nightmare ended. I used the instructions in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1731654worked like a charm and got back my phone.
Even though I have the ATT baseband LF6 Tmo calling sill works fine
Mods: please close this thread
I had the same problem but the AT&T guy had me call the AT&T support line and they sent a replacement without even asking me to do troubleshooting.
