Hello All,
I've searched around and wasn't able to find anything that helped. I had the leaked ics rom on the phone (with no root and stock recovery) which worked fine for several months, then the other day the phone crashed and now it only boots to the white Rogers screen. I've tried a physical battery pull and still nothing. I've also tried flashing a stock rogers flashboot and it does succeed but still doesn't make it past the white Rogers screen. I can still get to stock recovery and Flashboot mode but i can't seem to get it working.
I appreciate any advice to help me out. Thanks.
after you flash a stock with rsd enter in stock recovery and delete cache (and dalvik?), then reboot

Wait until battery 0% then boot up with Volume Down+ Volume Up, select AF Boot. Use RSD lite.

Only option I have is "wipe cache partition" and "wipe data/factory reset".
I've flashed stock and then wiped cache partition but I still can't boot past the white Rogers screen.

wipe data and cache and retry flashing. maybe another firmware
if still bootloop, wipe cache/data again and reboot
I had the same problem once when I've flashed a stock rom, but after the wipes, it worked

Ok so my Galaxy S2 i9100 arrived today!
I began by flashing VillainRom 1.1 and then decided to give Litening Rom a try, fired up odin, selected the rom and hit start. It completed but instead of rebooting the phone has gone into an endless reboot cycle, just showing the boot screen over and over.
I pulled the battery and am reflashing now, it that doesn't work where do I go from here?
Cheers
Edit: Nope, still not booting up properly
You go to the OP of the VillainROM thread and read the words in big red letters.

So if I reflash VillainRom then enter recovery, wipe user data and THEN install Litening Rom it should work?
Or have I permanantly screwed my phone?
Edit: So I reflashed Villain and it booted up fine, I went into recovery as suggested and selected wipe user data. After that finished I held the power button down until the phone turned off, then booted into downlaod mode and flashed litening. Same problem occurred, I tried this two more times but both to no avail.
What am I doing wrong?
Cheers
flash to stock KE7, then boot into recovery, select wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache, boot into download mode, flash lite'ning rom, then then it should work 100%.
oh and btw, as long as you can boot into recovery/download mode, your device isn't bricked.

Sorry to seem like a noob here... but a few quick questions, What does KE stand for exactly and where can I downlaod a stock version from? Cheers
KE means after KD but before KJ ,just as A is before C .

Worked brilliant, thanks
I had a similar problem, but I solved it by just booting into recovery mode, wiping data(/factory reset) and dalvik cache and then just flashing then ROM through "download" mode.
I did not have to flash any stock ROM prior to that. Just these two simple steps!
I was flashing Liberty Gingerbread to my Droid X with ClockWorkMod Recovery, I Wipe data/Factory Reset and Wipe Cache, but, when it rebooted, it get stuck in the Yellow Hand Boot Logo.
I don't know what to do, I've tried everything, pulling off the battery, Stock Recovery Factory Reset and volume down button and power button, so if you can help me will be great.
Have u tried reflashing the rom. It happens to me sometimes so i just reflash the rom and it starts to work.

About the thing of reflashing, how do you do it? and how i do it if i cannot enter to any kind of recovery exept the stock recovey which haves only four options:
-Reboot Phone (It reboots but gets into de Boot Loop again)
-Install: update.zip (I've tried it with the same rom and others and nothing)
-Wipe data/factory reset (does not work)
-Clear cache (does not work)
What i mean is that i cannot enter to ClockWorkMod Recovery so i cannot install a new rom.
I've heard about the Bootloader and SBF's or something like that but i don't know if it is safe or if it could work
Hi guys I received a Refurbed phone today and unlocked my phone. I have tried both Tenfars and the RomManager version of recovery on my phone. When I boot up my phone says Unlocked and if I choose to I can enter fastboot or recovery without issue. The problem comes when I try to flash a rom.
After doing the standard Factory reset, wipe cache wipe dalvik, I reboot and then get stuck on the Dual core screen. I have waited more than five minutes on this screen with no luck. Any suggestions?
I have tried both Aura and Darkside in the same manner as described above.
Thanks much!
You may NOT wipe Factory Reset after flashing a rom... maybe its that the problem...
1.- Wipe Data/Factory
2.- Wipe Cache
3.- Flash your desired ROM
4.- Reboot
Try it in that order...

Yeah I always do all of the wipes before the rom... It ended up being fixed by reflashing RomRacers recovery. Thanks
Hi guys,
I just flashed criskelo rom to my phone, but I tried to do a hard reset using the code (*2767....) and now my phone is stuck on the boot screen (SAMSUNG). I've waited a long time already, left it over night and nothing.
Also I tried to recover the back up I made with CWM, but I'm again stuck on boot screen...
Any ideas on what I can do??
Thanks

Try either flashing a stock firmware through Odin, or go into recovery and format /system in addition to wiping data, cache and Dalvik, and install the ROM zip again.

OMG THX...
I just flashed a stock firmware through ODIN and it's ALIVE!! Thanks...
(before i flashed on ODIN I restarted my laptop and it was stuck on BOOT... its like a curse omg... i had to go to safe mode to make it work again...)
Its all working now thanks
EDIT: Well... i rooted the phone again, flashed the rom, but this time I tried to make the wipe cache and factory reset through the CWM (volup+home+power), but I got stuck on boot screen again.... Guess I'll have to stay with the rom but without wiping it

If I remember correctly, Criskelo ROM does not require you to wipe anything if you're coming from a stock ROM (it does everything through the install script). So just install it and live happily ever after
getting stuck on the boot screen is normal...i did twice already while flashing new rooms...usualy for forgeting to wipe. reflashing the stock rom always works.
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!

Again, Please elaborate, How do i go about doing this, I've never seen an option to delete the 'Dalvik cache'
Thank so damn much for the help so far guys, i really appreciate it!
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.
