You say that Siyah is installed successfully? If yes just grab the CWM version of the ROM (if available) and flash it via CWM.

dont work

*most probably* you would need stock recovery to install update through kies.. search a thread where there is flashable zip of stock recovery and flash it
as its booting into cwm [not tried method but looks same way]
Remove cwm too
And dont use ext4 stock rom
herpderp © aint got money to pay to my fish

My phone won't boot after flashing modem

After flashing the modem LPW through rom manager, my phone restarted and get stuck in a black screen after the S2 logo.
I can go into download mode but not in recovery, single solution would be try flash a rom through odin?
Happened to me all the time, that's really because the version CWW you has wasn't installed by ROM manager.

and what solution you have found?
I would reflash through odin.
Then I'd install latest CWM. I would not recommend Rom Manager for this kind of things on an S2. Better to flash directly from recovery mode.

Galaxy s3 GT bricked?

First off I know I shouldn't have done this before I was sure what I was doing, but I have done it.
I have used chainfires mobile odin pro to flash siyah's latest kernel to my rooted s3. i put the .tar on external sd. Opened mobile odin, opened file, and pressed flash. It said it's dangerous, I pressed continue and the phone immediatly rebooted, and is now stuck on boot loop.
I had never updated the phone from when it first came out, I just rooted and kept stock rom.
Any help much appreciated,
Thanks in advance.
Try to boot into download mode if this works you can flash a stock or custom Rom and kernel through Odin ans it should fix your problem.
Or try to boot into recovery and flash a custom Rom, either way should fix the bootloop.

As a precaution I'm going to ask if you have the American or international model.

Currently in download mode, going to try to install the latest kernel. Do you think that should work, or should I install custom rom?

I would say you just need to flash the kernel if that's all you changed, the Rom should be fine.

Did you choose kernel>open file>flash?

[Q] Kernel for nandroid backups? - JB 4.1.2 leak

I'm on the stock leaked ROM & kernel. I hear that Philz kernel has some added functionality but dodgy with nandroid backups. Can anyone confirm this? Are there any other kernels yet which are better for this?

apart from 'Philz' kernel no other Custom kernels will wrk with Stock JB leak ma8
OK thanks for that. Guess I'll have to wait. I really want to be able to do a nandroid backup in case things screw up and I have to spend ages restoring everything.
I never had problem with backups on Philz kernel. At least for me to do backup and restore working well.
Can't seem to install this! Just tried flashing the latest - PhilZ-cwm6-XXLSJ-OXX-3.70 - using Mobile Odin. It just reboots the phone and the kernel isn't flashed. Tried it twice with/without the md5 tag but didn't work either time. What am I doing wrong?

Is your phone rooted properly in order to use mobile odin. Else flash the philz .tar.md5 in download mode via odin.

Well, it's rooted - not sure about properly. I flashed a file (posted on XDA) which rooted it after flashing the ROM. Everything appears to be rooted - Superuser, Busybox, etc
Problem is I can't use Odin cause I'm on a Mac so I have to use the mobile version.

Download root checker in playstore,to configure if your phone is rooted properly. Or find a windows pc to flash the kernel via odin..

Your rooted for sure, i also flash that update.zip on recovery,but the thing is you cant flash a kernel via mobileodin.. i dont have an experience of flashing fw,kernel on M .O,but i read somewhere many users experiencing issues when using that,thats why i prefer windows odin. im not saying dont use M.O.. but if you want a guaranteed flashing just used odin for windows.

OK cheers.
Just out of interest I just booted into recovery <3e> and I get an error message in red at the bottom:
"E:Failed to seek in /cache/update.zip )invalid argument)
E:signature verification failed"
I'm confused. Does this refer to the root "update.zip" or to the kernel which didn't flash?

What does mobile odin says when you flash the kernel lately?and did you rename this
http://download.chainfire.eu/267/SuperSU/CWM-SuperSU-v0.97.zip?retrieve_file=1 to update.zip? Before you flash as an update in external storage?

Yes, I renamed it "update.zip" before moving it to the ex SD and flashing it.
When I try and flash Philz kernel, it selects OK in Mobile Odin but when I press "flash" the phone just reboots normally, not into recovery and the kernel isn't flashed.

Did you try to download the file again? Download the kernel again,make sure it is finished,and flash it again.. mybe the file you download earlier is unfinished or interupted.

G920F soft bricked

Hello
I have had a look around the forum and i can't seem to find my answer.
I tried to install CrissCross 6.01, all was good untill it got stuck in a boot loop due to an issue with the kernal. I can't get into recovery and wipe the device.
I have tried to use a stock rom, but would i be correct in saying that because the boot loader has been updated to 6.0 I can't use a 5.1.1 recovery?
I have been trying to fix this for 3 days now with no luck, if anyone has any idea what i can do I would really appreciate it.
Thanks
Stuart

I can get into download and that is where I have tried a few different stock Roms
The error I get is SV Rev. Check Fail Device : 3 Binary :1 in Odin and from my understanding that is because I'm trying to use a rom that is trying to downgrade the boot loader
I think I need a 6.0 stock rom for this to work but I are t sure
Edit one more thing that confuses me is it will let me flash a 5.1.1 twrp but it still won't let me into recovery.
Thanks
Have you tried to flash bootloader / kernel via Odin?
Try to flash older TWRP, also, via Odin then try to flash 5.1.1.
I'm not 100% sure but I doubt you can flash 5.x.x ROMs from newest TWRP.
Try few things with older recovery and kernel, that shoud wake the device.
As long as you can access download mod you can save your device.

Thanks for the reply.
I have only flashed twrp in download mode not touched any kernels. I thought you could only flash a kernel I twrp that's why
Do you have any suggestions as to which kernel and twrp ?
I had same problem yesterday..
I flashed CrisCros ROM for S6 edge and bump into bootloop.
I just restarted device to download mode, flash kernel via Odin (in BL) and all went well.
You have kernel in OP of CrisCross ROM, that's 6.0.1 kernel, flash it and twrp via Odin, restart to recovery and flash ROM.
That should be enough and your device should boot.
You see, there's no bricked device as long as you can flash, fastboot or sideload something to you device..
