Restored to stock ROM, stuck at boot screen! - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, i have flashed through Odin the stock ROM, Odin says everything is allright but when the phone reboots it remains stuck on the Galaxy S2 splash screen.
What can i do? I can go into download mode and have flashed twice each of the two different firmware from Sammobile, they're specific for Europe, where i live and where i have bought the phone.
Before coming back to stock i had CM10 JB.
Help please.
Thank you
*edited* i flashed for the fifth times and everything is ok now, thank you anyway!

Boot Loop, Can't Access Recovery Mode

After hours of searching and flashing roms I've decided to give in and start a thread:
I downloaded a jelly bean rom, using CWM, It then preceded to install. Stupidly I didn't opt to factory reset and wipe everything (I thought CWM would take me to recovery mode before flashing the rom). That left my phone in a boot loop. I then flashed a stock rom (4.0.3) but it still was boot looping.
From the past few hours I've spent in these forums it seems by best bet it to flash a rom that has all the parts (phone, csc, modem etc) but I can't find one anywhere. Does anyone know where I can find one or of any way of getting into recovery mode? Any help would be much appreciated, thanks.
Device: Samsung Galaxy S II - UK - O2 (Was running CM9 before I ruined everything).

Hi mate,
The best thing for you to do is enter download mode (hold volume down+home key+power) and connect to Odin and flash an official firmware again
I know that XWLP7 contains everything in the 1 file as this is the one I flashed. Simply place the file in PDA section of Odin.
check out this thread:

Good luck mate!!
Thanks for the reply. I had tried flashing a stock rom a while back but to no avail. A couple tries later and it worked - I'm now running Jelly Bean but more importantly I have a working phone!
For anyone having similar problems (which seemed to be a few). Just keep flashing stock roms and remove the battery a few times, cross your fingers and at some point you should be able to get into recovery mode to do a proper install. Also I was mistaken about it being a boot loop, I was actually just stuck on the starup, galaxy s II, screen.
But anyways, cheers for your help.

Stock ROM doesnt work

Hi there.
I had a custom rom on my Galaxy S3, and I wanted to go back to stock rom. Before I had a custom rom, I checked my product code, just in case if I ever wanted to flash stock rom. So, I downloaded a stock rom from sammobile and flashed it with Odin. I had a successful flash, but when the phone rebooted, it stopped at the samsung logo and it's like that every time I turn on the phone.
I aslo tried to flash it with the same rom, but from a different site (androidfirmwares), but every time I treid to do that, Odin crashed ( Odin downloader has stopped working).
I can't even boot into CWR to flash any custom rom, cuz it's gone. There is only stock recovery.
Please help
Which Rom were you trying to flash when this happened, and give details of how you flashed please

if you are getting stuck on the boot screen after you flashed the stock rom this always works..go to recovery do a data reset and wipe cache.
this is really weird and a stupid thing I did when I was completely new to android..a little over a month ago.I got stuck on the boot screen and accidentally flash CF-Root instead of the stock firmware..when the phone rebooted it worked just fine.I dont think its supposed to work that way..:S

[Q] Soft Bricked my S3 after flashing XELL4 over XELLA Firmware

Hi I have done something silly in the flashing process and now the phone wont get past the Samsung logo and is stuck in boot. I can get to Recovery and Download mode. Have tried flashing stock ROM twice but still the same result.
Here is what happened
1) Flashed Stock 4.1.2 XELLA ROM - Through ODIN - was successful, used it for 2 days
2) Due to battery drain issues did a Factory reset and Reflashed XELL4 Stock ROM through ODIN
3) Phone got stuck in boot screen on Samsung logo so reflashed the XELLA firmware again but its still Stuck
Each time the ODIN gave a successful flash but the phone does not get past the Samsung Logo
Dont know what to do it looks like something got screwed up perhaps due to the new bootloader in XELLA which has messed up the process???:crying:
Device I9300, UK version from Carphone warehouse
Will it help if I try the emergency firmware recovery on should i send the device to Samsung as its stll covered under warranty (Have only flashed Stock RoM and not rooted)

Not an expert, but would a full root be able to fix this?

[Q] Won't get past boot!

So I've been on CM9 since October, everything has been all well and good! Today I decided I wanted to flash a unbranded GS2 ICS ROM onto my phone so I could then update via KIES to the new JellyBean one. But now my phone will not go past the boot logo since I flashed I9100XWLPT via ODIN in the PDA section just as the guide told me. The boot logo moves but will not go past it. I have flashed a new kernel, I then tried Syiah Kernel. Now I've reflashed Cyanogen mod 9 via CWM and it is doing the same thing. The boot animation just moves forever. Can anyone help?
yes flash jb straight up.
Sent from the little guy
Wipe data/cache and dalvik-cache then re-flash a JB ROM (since you want to use Jelly bean) via Odin. You can get JB Roms from here
I've wiped all caches then flashed the JB SII ROM and still the same problem, it boots up to the samsung logo then just replays it over and over again without getting into the phone
And factory reset does nothing?
Flash this. See how you do.
PS: Flash only CODE, PHONE and CSC.

[Q] Phone Loops at Vibrant Logo

I tried ODIN and successfully got it back to stock rom. But the phone keeps looping back to the Vibrant logo screen. The method I used worked for me for the past three years, it started acting weird when all of a sudden an ICS custom rom from MIUI hanged on me. And then I was unable to get my phone working!
Is my phone permanently bricked?!

Can you get into recovery? Did you flash a custom gb boot loader? You wipe data and cache? You could try Odin again and flash stock with the correct pit file and re partition checked I've done this many times and have not had this problem you might just have had a corrupt flash like I've read Odin has been known to fail
