Hi.
I followed the advice in the http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34744118#post34744118 thread. I used the Noob proof method.
My phone was already rooted.
I have a i9300 and was under android 4.1.1 before using the method.
After having done the reset in Odin, I encounter a bootloop. I've tried reinstalling the ROM several times in vain.
As it wasn't specified in the tutorial, I didn't do any cache and dalvik cache wipe and delete. The phone doesn't boot into CWM mode for me to do it now (unless i've missed a step for this)...
Any advice?

Hi Guy,
I got a BIIIGGG problem.
After doing some VERY quick research i decided to get started by rooting and installing VillainROM, which worked lovely...no probs, however because there was a lack of themes (the main reason i rom'd the phone), I was swayed to go for Cynogen.
After downloading CM7.1 and installing through CWM my phone will not boot.
I have tried to do a factory reset through CWM, wipe the cache, and reinstall VillainROM but to no effect and stupidly i didnt backup my data.
Any advice on what i can do or have I bricked my phone?
What does the screen show? Can you get into download mode or recovery? Have you tried flashing the rom twice? This worked for me in the past.
Ricey
yep i can get into recovery and download mode, but when i boot the phone no joy
Ive tried installing the rom several times
Try formatting /data, /cache and /system from CWM recovery before flashing the new ROM.
If that doesn't help flash a stock ROM from Intratech's thread in the dev section via Odin.
1st- Boot into recovery.
2nd- wipe data/factory reset
3rd- wipe cache
4th- go to advanced/ wipe dalvik cache
5th- go to mounts and storage - format/system
6th- go to install ROM from SD card - select the ROM you'd like
7th- reboot system DO NOT TOUCH MAY TAKE A WHILE
8th- let it sit for 10 minutes once its booted so all the cache can build back up
9th- reboot, set up, and enjoy!!
Hope this helps!
Enzopreme you are a legend many thanks indeed
Hi Guys
Im having some problems trying to install a custom rom into my new Galaxy SIII I9300.
The rom in question is OmegaRom V35
After roooting and all, yesterday i tryed installing the rom with mobile odin, following all the instructions.
The result was the phone rebooted after the instalation seemed to be ok, but got stuck on the booting animation, and never got out of there.
I Had then to inject cwm with odin desktop, wiped data, cache anda dalvik, and then proceed to install the stock rom with desktop odin. All went well and the phone worked great.
I thought that maybe the problem was with mobile odin pro. So today, i went and proceeded to install Omega V35 via CWM. I again put the file on internal sd card, wiped data, cache and dalvik, and the rom started flashing. It all started good but, with no warning, at the mniddle of the installation, when applications were being installed, the phone went automatically and wuickly back to CWM!
Of course the installation wasnt finished, so i was stuck with cwm on reboot. Again made wipe data, cache and Dalvik, tried again to flash Omega V35, and again, the same problem...
In the end, i had to flash the stock rom again.
I searched the forum, but i cant seem to find the problem for this. I followed all the instructions, and had no error messages besides CWM skiping the format of the card, and some message (that i've seen in videos as normal), when wiping Dalvik!
Any clue to what's happening?
A clue read the instructions for the rom .
<b>Installation:Install CWM Recovery with Odin - Get CWM Recovery here
Boot to CWM Recovery using volume up, power button and home key
Backup your device and make sure to keep a copy of the backup to your pc!
Wipe data / factory reset (Not needed if you already have Omega)
Install Omega
(Wipe cache will be done automatically during installation so you can skip this step
Wipe dalvik cache will be done automatically during installation so you can skip this step)</b>

Maybe i didn't expressed myself correctly, but today i followed those instructions twice, and, at each of these tries the
same thing happened. When the flashing was running apparently problemless it simply stoped and went to CWM without rebooting.

I had already checked the md5, and the file is ok...
When you try to flash it through cwm recovery what error do you get while flashing?

None whatsoever. The flashing process seems to be running ok, It starts, i select default instalation, after i can see the apps being installed and suddenly, it all stops and goes into cwm without any message or warning...
hello,
have a problem with my galaxy s2:
just updated my s2 to the latest nightly of cyanogenmod "cm-10.2-20130921-NIGHTLY-i9100".
my old kernel was: dorimanx 9.34 + rootbox 4.2
after update it booted to cyanogenmod and worked for few minutes. then it showed some errors like "android.core.*" stopped working. after reboot it can´t even boot on recovery mode. download mode is still availabile, flashing to old kernel + firmware doesn´t help anything.
same probelm: no boot (stuck at bootscreen)
anyone has an idea what to do?
thanks in advice
Have you tried wiping data in recovery when it stuck in boot loop.
Also did you format system before you flashed cm 10.2
I got it to work fine on my S2. Played around on it for a few hours, got everything installed. Then bam, upon restart I get boot loop. Wiping cache/delvik didn't work. Various tutorials recommend repeating the install process and/or continuing to factory wipe until it works.
EDIT: I have repeated the process. Make sure that before you install CM/Gapps, you factory reset, wipe cache and delvik. Have reset the phone several times and it now works.
hello,
i never posted here before but i am following this site for a while and flashed lots of roms using the data here.
i got into a problem trying to flash the kitkat on my HTC sensation 4G.
i am using ATM the android 4.2.2 CM 10.1 albinoman887 rom.
i tried installing the android 4.4.1 according the instructions posted by android1234567 here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2530073
i did factory factory reset, cache wipe, and davlik wipe
after that flashed the Kernel Aroma installer, the rom and the gapps from this link.
after i flashed them i rebooted and the phone doesnt pass the reboot screen, got stuck on it for few seconds and then restart and stuck again.
could anyone help me resolve this?
thanks ahead.
Dan

thanks for the help
Hi guys! I've been trying for the last hours to install Cyanogenmod 11 on a friend's S3 international (i9300). After some driver problems CM now installs fine, but after the installation finishes and the phone reboots the phone reverts to Samsung's stock firmware. Even though I select yes at the question that should prevent stock recovery from occurring.
I have tested every solution I could find out there to prevent this:
1. After CM setup finishes, I pull the battery and start the phone in Clockworkmod by holding Vol-up+home+power. Then I have wiped the cache, data and dalvik cache and rebooted. Still reverting to stock.
2. I have tried rooting the phone and removing /system/etc/install-recovery.sh using Root explorer before starting the installation. There was however no file /system/recovery-from-boot.p which was also mentioned in som guides.
Nothing seems to work.
I can't understand that I'm the only one having this problem. Is there a solution out there? Thanks!

Thanks! The reason I did not do this before was that I am not really comfortable installing manually and was afraid to brick the phone (since it's not mine). But I followed your instructions and it worked perfectly
It's a shame that the automatic installer can't handle this though.

Haha! Actually you won't brick your device by installing a ROM for your device. You can only brick it by flashing a ROM from other device without porting it, and I think this will be then only soft-bricked. A hard-brick can be done by flashing basebands from different devices. But I hope you won't do that
Actually by installing a ROM only your system(apps, vendor files, tweaks, etc.) and boot partition(kernel, etc.) will be overwritten. And that won't hard-brick your device
But I can understand your fear. I was same as you when I was a beginner
