no one can help you without you providing alot more specifics..
exactly, step by step, what did you do?

Download samsung kies, go to tools-firmware upgrade and initilization, put your phone in download mode and plug it in. Go through the directions and youll be back to normal

I used odin to flash the the kernal in the second thread of this post. I put the .tar in PDA and the phone is recognized by the computer/odin. Hit start and it flashed the kernal with success. It was stuck at Samsung logo (the one with color not the initial white one). Did it again with the stock kernal same issue.
I will tried the kies approach.
Easiest way i found to root was to flash stock gb rom via odin and install cwm from odin and flash a rooted rom.....semi bricked while trying to root a stock 4.0.4 note.

Update ur cwm or just flash twrp. If u are still rooted. Status 7 means ur recovery is outdated or u are no longer rooted.

i have tried before.....
however, at the PDA section....it said i got an invalid image type....
or maybe this is why i fail flashing CWM recovery...
should i do that again?
Since when was CWM recovery an image? We always used stock recovery to flash. Now you just flash back to a stock gingerbread rom. The scary image you see when you boot up means that it failed to start, not that you flashed too much.
are you happy to show me how to fix it through odin step by step?

Ok so I tried to install the Domination ICS 4.0.5 theme on my phone. Followed the instructions very closely and still ended up in a bootloop. My phone was rooted and running an Odexed rom.(the theme was compatible with Odexed stock roms) and I had no prior mods installed. I tried a factory reset but when it starts up it says phone process, system UI has stopped and I get a boot loop. I can get into download mode.
I need urgent help as this is not my phone. Is there anyway to reflash stock ICS on it.
*EDIT* Sorry didn't see the sticky thread about boot loops. I was kind of in a panic. Can a mod please delete this thread
yeah boot you will have to flash back via odin
Yeah I guess I'm just a little panicky right now as this phone is a loaner phone from the service center. I shouldn't have tried to mess with it....lol. Well I'll just re download and flash with odin then and hope it boots up.
Good luck!

I know I was dumb. But I rooted it using a method which the flash counter does not change and I thought I'd just unroot it using the same method before I send it back. Also I got fed up with touchwiz. BTW isn't the left most box suppossed to be yellow in odin. Looks like its not picking up my phone. Oh ****
don't be panick your phone is still healthy.. just install the stock rom via Odin again or you have a CWM ? so install a rom with that things
cheers
Note : bricked is while your SGS II can't get to download mode mate although you tried with JIG ... J-Tag is only Hope for completely bricked phone

vol down+power+home key=download mode
and flash a stock firmware
its around 300 mb download
and before flashing stock do a full wipe in cwm recovery
I finally got odin to recognise my phone and it successfully re flashed. Thanks everyone for your help, you saved my butt. Sorry If I seemed like a noob its just I never got a bootloop before. Ok well I'll leave my loaner phone alone from now on
Guys, is there any chance of rooting the phone without flash with odin or from the mobile odin?
Serve unlock root for ICS 4.0.3?
From already thank you very much.
PS: Sorry for my English is not very good
Look at the PhilZ-CWM6 custom kernel. It can be flashed in stock recovery and includes SuperSU, root, ClockworkMod Recovery and Busybox.
It is pure stock based, and doesn't have MMC brickbug.
Thanks for responding! But there would be some way that only makes you root, without installing a modified kernel and without CWM? is that I want nothing more root access

You're wrong pal, using the first method will only root your phone, no cwm nor custom kernel. its a single file u flash through stock recovery that gives you root and busybox, nothing else.
Thanks friend! Now I see it, I do not set it up yet because there is no custom rom, just want root : D

Try flashing a custom kernel through Odin on your PC. Plenty of guides on here and Google. That way you can flash cm through recovery. Keep an eye out for the kernel bug related to 4.0.4. Again lots of documentation on that too.

There is ALWAYS a risk when doing anything to your device. The level of risk is down to what you are doing and what state the battery is in etc.
As long at the rooted kernel you are flashing is compatible with the current firmware then all SHOULD be fine.

Stuck in bootloop
Hi,
So, this is what happened
I have a galaxy SII gt-i9100, About 5 months ago I rooted it and installed the galaxy nexus update to android 4.0.4. and everything was ok except it wasn't showing me the option to transfer via blue tooth (but that didn't bother me much). These were the things I used
1. GT-I9100_ClockworkMod-Recovery_4.0.1.4
2. Odin3 v1.83
3. GT-I9100_XWKI8_insecure
4. GT-I9100_XWKI8_original
Now, yesterday I a friend had galaxy S II i9100P and he updated the firmware using kies and it had working blue tooth. I thought ok let's change it to that and my blue tooth might work also. I was at work and I (in a hurry) tried rooting it with only Odin. No backup, No Clockwork :laugh: nothing. ( and "Now it's stuck at the startup screen. I can go to download mode and recovery mode but it has samusg recovery not clockwork. I don't know what to do and in need of help. I'd really appreciate a quick response. (hoping to get atleast the mass data back )
These were the only 2 things used.
1. Odin3 v1.83
2. I9100JPLPH_I9100OJPLPF_PAK

ok, the galaxy nexus update? you mean Jelly Bean or Supernexus / chamaleon?
I think that you've installed a stock ROM over a custom ROM and that's why you are stucked at the logo.
read a little bit about flashing because you are up for it.
Learn about SD card data when flashing and follow a tutorial to flash stock ICS 4.0.3 via odin thru Download mode.
Also make sure to flash a safe kernel so you wont get the brick bug (see warning post sticked in the general section).
I don't know what to put here...any ideas?
fixed.Thanks

Can you please tell me how you resolved this issue. I have a VZW note 2 and I have the same issue. I didn't see the instructions in the forum. Thanks for your help.
Can someone please help me? I was rooted but my bootloader was not unlocked and before I read anything... I am so stupid... I downloaded goomanager and now I have a soft brick that I am not able to get out of. I have followed every direction and used every recovery rom even the stock rom. The stock rom will not even load in Odin all I get is an error. I really don't know what to do at this point. Thanks
So I just installed the 0.2.3 cm 12 beta rom on and since I was giving my galaxy light to a friend I decided to do a factory reset so when I did that the phone rebooted and now its stuck at the twrp recovery splashscreen. I've already tried rebooting and re-flashing twrp but no luck. Could it be a cache problem or something? Thanks to all in advance who reply.

Im guessing you wiped device and if you go into recovery and try to reboot system it will tell you no os installed if that is the case you can plug device into computer and still use twrp as file manager thats if you had a backup stored on desktop or drag a CM zip to device .
other method of course would be to enter download mode and use odin to flash stock firmware for your device not sure if you have t399 or the N varient lastest beening OH2/OH3 you can find that in my filehost i have stock odin zips to flash.

I used the download from this guide by ShabbyPenguin: http://androidforums.com/threads/guide-restore-your-galaxy-light-to-stock-mja.846767/
Hey guys...I did the same thing but my t399 must have lost battery charge because when I picked it back up, it was dead...I plugged in and it started flashing the Samsung screen slowly at me. It would not reboot. I did get download and twrp to show up and start to atleast work enough to flash and Odin again...I used Shabby's kernel source and it is still doing the same thing after flashing through Odin. Still stuck on Samsung screen slowly flashing and recovery shows no operating system. I'm about to put it back in a drawer but I feel it's so close that I had to ask for help. I flashed shabby work to root and recovery. I flashed twrp 2.7 and the cm12 beta rom. Then back to shabby guide to get it to recognize, it did..kind of..but still boot looped. Flashed 3 times... No changes. Can anyone help or is it time for a staircase? hA!
Oh yes .. I don't think the battery is bad.. I checked it with a meter and it reads voltage. It does get pretty hot while I'm working on it though and my pc shows its charged at 100% but the phone doesn't show that...it stays in like dead mode. Nit recognizing again. Anybody have suggestions? In recovery it also indicated it can not locate most of my files in read after I flash.. what am I doing wrong.
sgh-399n bootloop
It's taken me 2 months to cry for help. I'm not a complete noobie, but I'm completely exhausted. First of all, one morning I woke up and I thought that somehow my battery was dead. It wasn't. Eventually, I found it in a bootloop. This phone was working fine, running a "Tiger_Lilly" ROM the night before. I've tried everything using Odin, adb and fastboot (I'm not sure how to get the phone in fastboot mode and also, before using Odin, TWRP wouldn't mount/data.) I'm stumped. Would appreciate some help, thank you.

What was you using prior to it bootlooping and what rom was installed have you modifed anything else such as partions etc...
also list your method and link rom your trying. just wondering if its the lastest version for device. while in odin also make sure Auto Reboot” and “F. Reset Time is only selected and what version of odin are you using?
If your unable to flash any rom thru odin then there must be a major problem else where until we can narrow it down no one can assist you.
hi good morning, i actually dont know the prior version of the SW, i am using the available version on sammobile of the sw and i am trying odin to flash, ive already used odin 3.8 and 3.9 and the one that said it is configured to this phone in the thread.
