"edit": i can also get it to boot normally now, it then shows a yellow triangle with exclamation mark (soo sorry for bad spelling, i'm trying my very best)

The yellow triangle isn't a problem. Doesn't mean theres any problem with the phone. Only there as a visual indicator that the phone has been flashed. If it bothers you, search for chainfire's "triangle away" app.
Edit:
If you're unable to install cyanogenmod you can try this..
-first ensure you're on ICS and not on GB.
-download the tar version of siyah kernel for the S2.
install it via Odin..steps similar to what you used to install cf.
once you've flashed siyah, you should have root access and cwm recovery. Now you can install CM or any other custom rom.

great!!!!! that kernel works like a charm....
only problem is, i can't get into the cwm recovery....
ps the yellow triangle wasn't the one under "samsung", it had something to do with an faulty upgrade and that you should reconnect to keis.... anyway, thats fixed now... thx a lot

Can't you get into recovery using the vol up+ home+ power button combo?
It takes some getting used to..most custom ROMs provide the option to go directly into rcovery from the power menu itself.
Don't you have the CWM app? Can gt into recovery mode through that too.

trying to use rom manager but got error signature verification failed in Android system recovery (2e)
I did not post 10 messages and cannot ask it in that topic
PS: I also have captivate and without any problem rooted it, unlocked and reflashed it to 2.2
verizon makes me ploblems since motorola v710, get it now and etc.
And my bluetooth not working after rooting
I start Googling tango found that peoples have same problems on rooting phones after update.
droidforums dot net
forum/samsung-fascinate/117399-lost-bluetooth-capability-after-update.html
Anybody can say me that I need to reflash?
And provide link to download and string name in Odin
Another problem, I cannot update firmware. I lived in canada and to activate phone I need to be in states.
That's an old CWM. You want the new CWM for all ROMs. Can't post a link, but it's in the devs forum by jt. Flash the Odin file and you should be fine.

Its latest cwmr 3.0.0.8
But... I can only run it if I choose "reboot into recovery" from rom manager.
3 buttons or adb reboot recovery or even reboot recovery from advanced menu of cwmr start samsung e2 recovery. Is it correct? How to access cwmr if I will not be able to boot?

[Q] odin/boot/firmware/zimage

I installed Cyanogen mod, didn't like it so wanted to go back to the stock, as it was "out-of-the-box"
Loaded up odin (latest) put phone into download mode, loaded I9100XWKF3_Kernel kernel, all went well.

Now phone is stuck at the start screen
"Samsung Galaxy S II GT-I9100"
Where do I go from here? Thanks for your time.
Try flashing stock again.
And how would I go about doing that?
I've just redone Odin with XW_NEE_KI4, am I supposed to then boot into the clockwork mod recovery option to install a ROM?
If so, I've downloaded the VillainROM-3.0.0-signed rom, copied it to my SD card, but it isn't showing up.
And I've tried with a different rom only to be told that the file integerity or something along those lines has failed, leaving back at the boot/lock screen.
Can someone tell me how I can get my SD card to show up? Or of a way I can connect my phone to my PC so I can copy the VillainROM-3.0.0-signed onto the phones memory so I can install it via that way?
Thanks, it's rather urgent I get the phone sorted.

Just restore your nandroid backup that you made when following the instructions to install CyanogenMod.
Found a little work-around, but if you go into the settings and mount the USB, but don't click mount, your phone will show up as a memory card allowing you to copy any required files.
However, when I copied over the VillainROM-3.0.0-signed to install it and run it I now get the following error.
"E:signature verification failed. Installation aborted."
Any solutions please?

When I try that (and I'm not too sure I created a backup) it says "couldn't open directory, no files found"
Currently downloading GT-I9100_NEE_I9100XWKI4_I9100XXKI2_I9100XXKI1_I9100XWKI4.zip to see if this'll work.
Going through the options, I went to "Fix permissions" I then tried installing the GT-I9100_NEE_I9100XWKI4_I9100XXKI2_I9100XXKI1_I9100XWKI4.zip I downloaded, however it gave me errors.
So I tried the vanilla rom, and it's now installing *something* and it's now said "install from SD card complete."
So, after a few minutes at the dreaded boot/lock screen, I've now got a boot screen for "villiainrom" and it's gone no further.
Good news everyone!
It's now booted and all is well thus far.
gratz! u manage to tame the monster!

Looks like the Problem was, that you were only flashing the stock kernel onto your CM7
so in the end, you had a CM7 rom with a samsung kernel (wich obviously doesen't work)

Exactly!
You must flash FULL firmware (with PDA

, Phone [modem] and CSC), not only kernel... Next time RTFM first. ;) Cheers!

AFAIK that stock firmware is meant for I9100 not the I9100G
ps- if u install any rom/kernel meant for I9100 and its variants like M/P/T on ur I9100G u will hardbrick ur phone for sure, since I9100G is very diff from the above ones in Hardware
You're lucky youre only in a boot loop coz that sounds like an i9100 ROM not i9100G. As long as Odin is detecting your phone you should be able to flash a stock ROM for the G variant.

Download another ROM preferably a KitKat Rom(Your choice). But since ODIN is blocked you'll have to flash it via your custom recovery. If you don't have a custom recovery:
Goto the Playstore
Download "TWRP Manager (ROOT)"
Open app
Grant Permission(on SU)
Select "Device Name"
Find "Samsung Galaxy S3 i9300"
Select "Recovery Version to install"
Select the latest one(The one very first at the top is latest available)
Hit "Install Recovery"
Make sure you have WiFi as it will now start to download the files..
If something like "Ensure the partition...... /dev/block/.." pops up; Hit "YES"

Sounds like the phone is bricked.
You have to return to stock S3 via download mode and start the rooting again if ODIN still works in Download Mode.
Do you know how to?

Help im freaking out

I rooted my phone using odin3 then tryed to flash the sdk23 arm64 xposed framework using flashify
Now im stuck on the samsung word logo 'boot loop' and i don't know how to fix it:crying:
Also have a custom recovery [TWRP]
now i think i broke it :crying: i cant get into the recovery mode i dont why but i went to advance wipe and check all of it
also now doesnt do to the samsung word logo it stays on the samsung galaxy s6 powered by android screen
also when charging no green is seen just a empty battery with lighting bolt
plus KERNEL IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING in red in the top left corner.
Think i basicallly wiped everything ohno
I'm struggling to understand why you were using Flashify to install Xposed, especially since you have TWRP. Regardless, you have to try and get it into Download Mode. If you can, you should be able to reinstall the original firmware.

i am able to get to download mode (odin mode right?), now how do i reinstall the original firmware? (maybe link me some steps)
1000 tutorials here on xda or youtube.
Basic structure:
find / download firmware
boot to Download Mode
open Odin as admin
place .tar or .tar.md5 file of the firmware in AP slot if one 1 large file or if it is split into multiple ones then they will be labeled obviously for BL, AP, CP, CSC just like in Odin.
Hit start and wait for a bit. If the flash is successful but it is stuck in a boot loop, then reboot to the stock recovery and reset it.

Looks like you're using the wrong firmware. You have to use one for your variant and you typically can't downgrade bootloaders so it's gotta be the same firmware or newer.
