Do a full wipe (data factory reset, wipe cache) and reflash the rom. That should fix it.

Doesn't help, stock rom - no lockscreen, custom JB - no lockscreen

Have you tried *2767*3855# in the dialpad, this is a complete data factory reset.

yes...via settings and factory reset - same result, just the other way
Download a terminal emulator and do the following:
# echo -n ON > /efs/imei/keystr
# reboot
See if that helps. If it sticks after reboot good. If not, you might have to flash a different ROM.

One more thing to try.
Go into CWM recovery.
1. Wipe Cache
2. Wipe Dalvik Cache
Still in CWM go to Mounts And Storage
1. format /data
2. format /cache
3. format /system
The Factory Reset again.
Go back to CWM Menu and go to Advanced
1. Fix Permissions
See if that fixes it..

Do u mean, after formating data/cache/system i need to reboot phone, factory reset from settings menu or dial keys code and than back to cwm. i try this but phone stuck at galaxy s3 logo
even i factory reset/wipe from CWM my phone stuck at galaxy logo.
You need to do that all from the CWM Recovery.
Don't reboot the phone until you are all done.
If you are stuck at boot logo now, you will need to re-flash your firmware with ODIN and try again.

You will have to re-flash your ROM with ODIN and then flash CF-Root again. That will give you recovery.
But, that might fix your problem too.

i just bricked my phone with script manager,done something wrong.What can i do to unbrick?1 question,can i wipe data/factory reset and phone will be fixed?
What did you mean bricked? Can you turn you phone one, whats happened after this, I think you have only a bootloop. If you can access recovery menu try wipe, if it doesn't help reflash you rom using ODIN.

Your phone is not bricked. You have a minor inconvenience. Wipe everything and flash new firmware.

Choose whatever rom you want and install as normal through recovery. Wipe data/cache/factory reset and install .zip file. Done.

Just to make sure, flash it with a full package. (Zip containing 4 files instead of one big one). It'll turn everything to stock including system format just in case you messed that up. Flash it via ODIN and make sure to follow instructions so you won't have another inconvenience.

I did everything I was supposed to do, first succesfully rooted the phone. Then I put the zip file with the rom into the sd card and then went into recovery mode, installed file from zip and it said success in install so I chose to reobot and now it hangs there... Any one can help me out? I'm scared...

A bit more details. What phone model? What were you trying to flash? Where does it hang, on the Samsung boot animation, or in the recovery?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2
Galaxy s2 international (gt 19100). It hangs on the boot logo, which now is a yin yang with ics on it, I guess this is a NEAT thing. I can go into recovery mode, it just hangs if I try to boot normally.

The yin yang boot logo is actually the kernel. (Siyah)
You should probably try a factory reset/wipe data from recovery. This will alleviate 90% of boot loops and stuck on boot issues.
How do I do that?

You just said above you can boot to recovery... Once you are in recovery mode, can you not follow the recovery menu system to find the wipe data/factory reset option? It should be pretty straightforward.
I'm not running Siyah, so I don't know what the exact menu item is called in the recovery image that is in that kernel.
I tried that but it still does the same thing... any other tips?

Actually, let's take a couple steps back.
What model phone do you have? It's printed on the label under your battery.
it says model GT-i9100

Ok. Are you SURE you're doing a wipe data/factory reset when in recovery? If so, then I'd flash a stock firmware, full wipe again, then try the Neat ROM install again.

Find all you need to know here.
As an easy rule before installing any new ROM (that isn't an upgrade from a previous version ex. Cm10 builds or if otherwise stated ) wipe data , cache and dalvik cache , which is under advanced

Try
Go to recovery
wipe data
wipe cache
advanced/wipe dalvik cache
go back
mounts and storage
format system
format data
format cache
go back
install rom
Okay, So.. As the title says, i have googled for DAYS, Tried every damn thing i could get my hands on..
Now.
So far, im able to get into download mode, and also into recovery mode, I've tried doing a factory reset, and then flashing a stock rom, and i've tried every concevable method of fixing this damned phone, Its driving me crazy, I flash a new rom with odin, phone reboots, (adds to count) and is STILL stuck at that ****ty flashing samsung logo..
I'd really appreciate ANY help i can get, And i AM a noob at this, So i dont FULLY understand EVERY detail of this, But i've read around enough to know a few things.
My SGS3 has been out of commision for longer than i've actually used it.. So.. Yeah, Getting quite desperate!
Please let me know if there are any particular details yyou need!
Hi,
Your problem is EFS.IMG
Please clear it. Use Odin3 for that.
Boot into recovery and wipe data/factory reset, after you've flashed your ROM.
I had your problem some weeks ago,I finally managed to get arround this after I deleted the dalvik cache and flashed stock rom trough odin,and worked like a charm :good:
try this first before thinking of efs errors!

Cam't really help you with the EFS, but:
-bootloops are often fixed by installing rom then wiping data+cache from recovery as others said
-the dalvik cache can be wiped in the recovery, you can find "wipe dalvik cache" under the advanced submenu

Im in recovery mode right now (Vol UP+ Home + Power)? And i dont see an 'Advanced' menu option;
Options i DO have: reboot system now; apply update from ADB; apply update from external storage; wipe data/factory reset; wipe cache parition;
apply update from cache..
Any ideas?
These options are only available in a custom recovery.
Just try wipe --> flash stock room --> wipe

i just want to clarify... when you say 'flash STOCK rom' Do you mean i need to get a rom for a SGS3 VAU (Vodafone Asutralia) and flash that (go to odin, put it in PDA, etc)
and if THAT is the case.. Where would i get said rom, Because i've downloaded it from sammy firmware 4 times, each time it finishes the download without a hitch, when i go to extract the zip to get the needed files, it says its corrupted or some such BS..
Go to Sam mobile and download the firmware mate.
You will end up with a tar md5 file you flash using PDA section of Odin.
Good luck!

Kies is by far the easiest and safest way to factory reset. I have had to use it about 3 times in the past 6 months because I have flashed something I shouldn't have. Plus Kies now has a lite mode that is quicker at flashing your phone back to stock firmware.

Slightly puzzled by you not having an "advanced" menu option. Which CWM version do you have?
Okay guys it seems ive fixxed my s3, after 4 long months lol..
What i did:
Installed Kies, Got my phone into download mode, Let kies to a PROPER wipe of the phone, (Phone, pds, csc) and it just ****ing straight up fixed everything...now i just need to find a thread that shows me how to COMPLETELY backup my ENTIRE phone, Every damn fkn Kb.. And ill be rooting it again lol
Thanks everyone!
I use stock rom (original) I9300XXEMC2
Kernel 3.0.31-1042335 [email protected] #1
Android version 4.1.2
My phone started to be slow and laggy. When I get a call it takes about three seconds to recognize the caller. I get alot of apps crash, I mean apps suddenly closes(I started to play a short video and then 3G Watchdog and PlayerPro got close).
What could be the reason for the laggs and slowleness of the phone?
Your rom has the sds fix so it might be the fix kicking in to save your phone. First try clearing cache and dalvic in recovery and fixing permissions, if still laggy then factory reset.
what does clear dalvik and catch do? do I need to backup the phone before I do this things? (I'm not talking about the reset only clear)

It clears the cache and clears the dalvik for details use Google but Dalvik is basically VM .
Backup is not relevant to either both are rebuilt on next boot .

I don't have advanced...This is the options I have:

apply update from ADB
apply update from external storage

You need CWM recovery .
Use Philz from development .

If you're not de-odexed (which you won't be since you're not running a custom ROM) there's not a lot "Wiping Dalvik-Cache" will do. Dalvik-Cache is used when you have dispensed with odex.
Essentially, every app you have has an .odex file.
so:
/system/app/MMS.apk
/system/app/MMS.odex
Most custom ROMs are "de-odexed" which means they get rid of all the .odex files and replace them with dalvik-cache files.
Basically what I am saying is you don 't have any to clear.
I wrote that I use stock rom so I don't want to root my phone.
don't suggest things that can't be done or I don't want to
Anyway thatks
I didn't. I told you it's irrelevant.
All you can do is factory reset or flash official roms. Or dummy file generator.

The same method is followed for both CWM and TWRP but dont know why it doesnot delete in your case. Coz if you are doing a advanced wipe it will surely delete boot files for sure.
