I had an issue kinda similar like this and ended up having to flash the RUU through the bootloader. It is the stock firmware 605.19, and I had to reroot. It's a pain I know but it works

I to had to this at one point and it does work. I would first try to flash cwm in fastboot though. Sometimes that works.

My friend's phone tried to pull an OTA while he had CWM recovery installed, and it started boot looping. Had to download the stock recovery, name is PG05IMG.zip in the root of the SDCard, and force the phone to boot to the bootloader and install it. Once it did, the phone started up, rebooted itself, and installed the OTA fine. Sounds like yours may be trying to do something similar?
If so rooted phones need caches cleared for the ota to work.

From my understanding, Rooted can still take OTA, but you have to have stock recovery to do it (as I witnessed earlier). You will lose root, and will have to re-flash recovery to TWRP, CWMR, or whatever your normal choice is, and then re-apply the su.zip, but otherwise easy as pie.

Do you by chance have a working link to the stock recovery? I have been trying to find one without success.

Stock recovery PG05IMG.zip http://dl.dropbox.com/u/61129367/PG05IMG-Stock-Recovery.zip
Hello, first of all I would like to thank everyone who has posted in this thread to try and help out. I just started having a very similar problem- I'm rooted and running stock, but apparently my phone accepted an OTA and I'm stuck in a bootloop as well.
I got into CWM recovery and downloaded the stock recovery PG05IMG.zip, but it won't install. It just aborts every time I try to install it. I'm a noob at this stuff and not very good at dealing with these sorts of things and I've been having a panic attack for the past hour, so if anyone could help me as soon as possible I would really appreciate it.
I'm really scared of making things worse than they already are. I just want a working phone.

The zip won't work in CWM because it's not designed for use with CWM. It's designed for use in Fastboot. Should be on the root of your sd card. From off, if I'm correct (like this with other HTC devices), hold volume down and power to boot into fastboot. This will allow it to flash the stock recovery.

Right. I also have a recovery zip that installs the stock recovery if anyone wants it?
It can be found here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/61129367/OTARestoreAndRecovery.zip
(warning: I have tested it and it works but it did cause me a bootloop, and im assuming this is becuase im on a different rom - - - so not responsible for any damages)

My phone wont boot now.
It stays stuck at the 2nd Samsung during the boot up.
What happen was I updated today to offical ICS from my rooted gingerbread.
I updated via kias today to get official ICS, got it working and I noticed I didn't have cwm install anymore, so I followed this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1504218
It is pass it did it reboot thing, and never got past the 2nd "samsung" loading screen.
Anyone know how to get my phone booting again?
Flash the latest ICS kernel
I am not sure how to do that without cwm.
Before I updated to ICS when I press power + up down, it booted into CWM. Now when I do that I boots into Android System Recovery <3e>
EDIT: Good news.
Got CWM through installed though odin and then I restored to my gingerbread backup I made earlier.
Flash your roms via clockwork recovery mod from now on.
Drop the ROM .zip on sd card and then enter recovery. Wipe everything three times each then flash a uclf6 based ROM. Never touch Odin or kies again. Be happy. Ice cream sandwich is way better than ginger bread

Had the same exact problem. I "believe" the problem was that the CWM I flashed was perhaps incompatible with the official ICS?
I used Odin to flash cwm 5.5.0.4 as suggested and the fone was shut down with the hanging Samsung screen as you mentioned. I used the DL screen with Odin to the 600mb Team Objection ROM, which at least got me up and running again. I found out that CWM did in fact flash once the ROM was compatible with it. Updated CWM, then to finally get full stability, I had to do a factory reset after clearing both caches, then install the CM9 official.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
Update: I installed official ICS again last night, looks like I lost my root and CWM.
I don't want to mess anything up again, so could you tell me exactly what CWM file you used to flash so it doesn't hang at samsung again?
I was having the same problems but I think I was doing it wrong. How are you flashing the root files? I upgraded from Kies, then used Odin to flash cwm touch (5.5.0.4 I think), make sure to let the reboot and that it's actually turned on and you can see your homescreen. Once you do that, THEN flash the superuser 3.0.7 in cwm. Let the phone reboot properly and it should be okay.
I was doing the same without the reboots and that's what caused me to hang at the logo, but after the above it worked well. Give it a try. For anyone who needs to flash the T-Mobile radios also let the phone reboot and then flash it because I was having issues with that which was fixed by letting the phone reboot.
Make nandroids at every step in case it does hang so you can just restore and try again instead of flashing everything all over again.

I've also tried rooting my AT&T Galaxy Note I717 which had recently upgraded to ICS via AT&T/Kies and my phone is stuck at the Samsung boot screen. While I'm no expert with rooting phones, I had no problem rooting it when it had GB installed so I figured I wouldn't have any problems rooting it again. Is flashing the ICS kernel the best way to fix this? Where do I get the ICS kernel from and how do I flash it?
Details: After my phone upgraded to ICS 4.0.4 kernel 3.0.8 (IMM76D.UCLF6), I followed some instructions to root it using Odin3-v1.85 and PDA->pda.tar. Other instructions used cwm-touch-i717-120414.tar.md5 and odin_n1717_cwm_recovery_b4.tar and I tried those but to no avail. So I have CWM v5.5.0.4 installed but I don't know what to do next.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Update: I restored my phone back to a non-rooted working Android 4.0.4 by downloading the stock ROM for my phone (I717UCLF6_I717ATTLF6_I717UCLF6_HOME.tar.md5) and uploading it using Odin3-v1.85/PDA. I didn't even lose any of my settings or data. Now I need to figure out how to successfully root it. But at least I'm not worried about getting stuck on the Samsung screen anymore.
Open odin , PDA cwm file, Droid in dl mode, plug in start unplug, reboot, go to cwm recovery mode and backup onto sd card.
Im learning more, as i soft bricked mine last time

You realize the reason you were stuck was because you flashed a GB kernel onto an ICS system? It would never boot. As the second post suggested... all you had to do was flash an ICS kernel to get it to boot.

I hope they go to the page I made and follow the green arrowed how to root ics...it is very super simple process to root the official ics...but ....
This happened to me after misreading a comment.
If you put your phone into download mode, plug it in, run kies, and do an emergency firmware recovery. You'll need the serial number. My phone is stock ICS again. Works fine.

so cwm 5.5.0.4 touch is a GB kernel? Because that's all I flashed after the KIES update to ICS and I got the hanging Samsung logo.
I believe some people are trying to get ICS rooted with this cwm and are getting stuck. Of course there are ways out of it, but it'll help the learning process if we can find the problem.

This is a guide that has all the files you need to DL.
Basically it will guide you through downloading Odin (open disc in a nutshell) and the two files you need to flash the phone back to stock 2.1 eclair. It will tell you how to put phone in DL mode. Never disconnect a phone from PC while Odin is running.
After that, it will guide you through the rooting the phone and getting a custom recovery(clockwork mod).
CWM recovery is what is needed to install a custom rom.

ok im confused on the rooting part. I cant seem to put it into recovery... the vibrant logo just keeps on restarting till i let go and the phone just starts up.
Are you on GB boot loader? Make sure your using correct button combo to get to recovery. Think its down and power at same time. Kind of a pain in the butt to do until you get the hang of it. Soon as you see Samsung let go and it should give yellow text scrolling, then recovery menu.
°thats not exactly rooting. The HB ROM has root though, so when all is finished you will be rooted.
Also make sure when HB is installed, when you first boot it let it sit and don't touch it for 10 min or so
If you get stuck pm me

Yeah. Don't skip anything either. Update.zip then wipe and everything install froyo then wipe, etc. Then cm nightly, etc. Don't skip, will likely just slow you down.
The last thing i wanted to do is make a n00b post like this but i want to make sure i have missed anything so far.
I have a white 9100m that a friend gave to me. It was upgraded to stock Bell ICS when it was released. The phone got really warm in his pocket then shut off. When he tried to power it on it would just sit at the SGSII splash screen forever.
Some things to note:
- Download mode works
- Cannot get into recovery
- Phone charges fine
Now i have tried Odin to flash stock Bell ICS both with the appropriate pit and without. I have tried flashing a ICS CF-root to try and get into a CWM recovery and it doesn't work. I cannot also get the phone to be recognized with ADB with the android SDK installed or after installing kies.
I am lost and am ready to just send it in but perhaps i am missing something that people 100x smarter me will know. Any thoughts?
Theres a thread by Phistachio so have a look there.

Did you get any error while carrying out the instructions in that thread?
Swyped from my Samsung Galaxy SII
No error at all. ODIN successfully flashed anything i threw at it. This is why i am thinking its hardware related.
Hi,
First of all, I apologize, I am sure this has been asked before - I've searched here, googled, but none of the responses came up with a solution (or at least not one that fixed it for me).
My device : Simple SGS2.
ROM when I started : SlimBean
I tried to flash the leaked Jelly Bean from Samsung, went smooth - no issues. I also flashed Philz kernel (the one which is confirmed to work with the leaked JB via Odin).
So far so good, BUT:
Stock Revoery only allows "Odin Mode", which isn't a big deal.
Via ADB I can get into Philz CW Recovery.
I wanted to go back to SlimBean or try Revolt.
Now, I can flash either of them without issues. But the phone stays stuck on the bootanimation of either Slim or Revolt.
What I've tried :
- Rooting
- Flashing another kernel (which was a bad call but oh well, we tried)
The only thing I can do is go back to the stock JB rom, that works fine.
I just know I am missing something, but I can't seem to find it (yes, I wiped dalvik and did factory resets).
Currently the phone isn't rooted and all "fixes" entail me going into Stock Recovery and installing a zip - and that is the option I don't seem to have. If I try stock recovery, it's always in odin mode/download mode. I must also add: I can only get into Philz CM Recovery by using "adb reboot recovery"
Guys, girls, any pointers - even flames on what an idiot I am - are welcomed.
Just use odin to put and older firmware on and cf-root. Then use recovery from there
