I had ICS.. backed with titanium and upgraded to JB with Liquidsmooth's rom... however I failed to read that titanium backedup contacts couldn't restore from ICS to JB... after reinstalling Liquidsmooth I thought the error might be with the ROM so I installed Omega's JB rom... nice bootscreen... pity it stayed in a bootloop... I then reinstalled it from cwm after removing the battery (a few times) and getting into recovery.... however it remained the same...
so.. I get into odin.. PDA -> ChainFire's "CF-SGS3-CWM-v5.5-v1.5.tar" worried that all I've don'e is put a ics kernal into a JB rom... I boot into recovery and install an old (possibly original root) ROM... now it boots past the animated logo just stays on the static -Samsung- logo... I can boot into odin.. not tried to boot into recovery...
but I don't have a recovery rom... (I have searched)...
could someone point me in the right direction please
Thanks
Have you tried wiping cache and dalvik, maybe try factory reset.
If all that fails this is what I do:
Boot into recovery
Go to mounts and storage
Format cache, System, data and internal sd card. (of course you will lose all data)
Then flash a full stock firmware package through Odin.

I found a stock 4.04 (ICS) rom... still soft bricked... I'll wipe everything except internal SD card... see if that works.. else guess I got no other option :s... I am pretty much backed up so I'm not completely fussed.. but I know there will be something that was missed...
didn't have to do a full wipe... but when I power-off it still reboots... I have to remove battery to power off?
Just do a wipe from Recovery, often the problem then not.

Hi,
I just flash the Rom Batista70 3.6, after flashed, I found that it is not the ROM I want, so I flashed my S2 to other ROM. However, The boot logo have been changed to "Batista70" and I am unable to restore it to original one, can someone show me how can I change the bootup logo back to the original?
Ir you flashed vía cwm then you will have a copy of the old Rom on your internal SD card.wipe it.then do a full wipe again and factory reset from recovery and re-install the new Rom.once done don't forget to wipe stats.
Do a full wipe before doing anything (flashing ROM, restoring backup and so on), and trust me, you will forget half of problems that you're experiencing now. I always see here people complaining here on that or that and most of these problems can be solved by doing full wipe (cache, data, system, Dalvik cache)
I already wipe everything before flash MIUI1.8.12, seems the previous rom replace default logo files that other roms seldom replace

Flash Rom via ODIN
I suppose this is a filesystem problem, have you ever mess with it? (Rfs, ext4 and such)
Flash DXKPB (The one I use to repair my usual bootloop) with Odin, Full package. Make sure it has data.rfs flashed (You can see it in odin log)
I suppose this is

OK Just flashed via Odin, and cleared cache and data and working. Thanx everybody.
But CWM really let me down. I didn't mess with any system files or like that.
Were You trying to flash new rom?
No, I just got a new Class 10 sd card, so I thougt to put it in after a factory reset so that things may get faster.
I had the same issue with my phone after installing Cyanogenmod well not exactly after but once I attempted to boot back to my phone decided to ignore any rom backup. I had to reinstall Gingerbread on my phone again and then using odin once I figured this out it only took me 10 minutes to get back on my mobile then I just recovered my default ROM using clockwork. Hope this helped.

thanks JJ but i already wiped now i just want to restore data see if that works out or if it wiill be stuck on bootloop again
hi there i have had my device rooted for awhile now and all of the sudden it just started to get stuck in a bootloop, just displaying the "samsung galaxy s III GT-I9300T" screen then goes black and repeats
i have a sgs3 GT-I9300T (from telstra, australia if it matters)
i rooted with "CF-Auto-Root" which worked fine and was working fine for atleast a month
i dont have a backup (yes im a noob/idiot for not creating a backup but didnt think there was any reason to)
i have tried flashing the latest firmware from sammobile using odin (with only auto reboot and F. reset time checked)
i can still access recovery (factory or custom from flashing in odin)
i've already tried a few suggestions from some posts on here but alot of them arent for the international/I9300T version so wasnt game enough to try them out in fear of fully bricking it
if anyone can help out with what i should try that would be great
i would even settle for resetting flash counter and system status back to 0/offical so that i can try and return it
current state is:
Custom binary download: Yes (3 counts)
Current binary: Samsung Official
System status: Custom
Did you try factory reset from recovery before/after reflashing stock?

yes and even installed CWM recovery to clear the "dalvik cache"
Here is thought
Pull out sdcard, better format in FAT32, copy few ROM into it by using card reader or other usable phone which has sdcard slot.
Flash any of newest recovery such as TWRP personally suggested, Backup current ROM in case of further needed and then
Factory reset, format /system partition, wipe cache / Dalvik cache, and then flash new ROM too see if it works.
Remember format system partition!

download this file http://checkrom.com/threads/resurrection-odin-checkrom-evohd™-v4.896/
get into odin and flash this file into your phone through the download mode ... if everything works it should boot into cwm recovery .. then wipe data\factory reset , wipe cache , wipe dalvik cache and reboot ... wait 15 mins and it should work!! Good Luck!
woot this worked!
i tried re downloading the file first like qtwrk suggested and reflashing it in odin which still returned the same result but i then downloaded this one and did it and it worked
i got into the os downloaded triangle away and reset the counter then flashed the telstra one again so that it was right back to factory default firmware which is what i wanted, will proberly root it again but will def make sure i get a full backup right away incase of any issues later on.
thank you all for your help
hye me again just thought id write an update on my situation
it appears that the phone had stuffed up again this time tho couldnt get into recovery mode but could still get into download mode
i didnt bother doing the same thing again instead i just took it back to telstra and they replaced it, and they replaced it with the 305 model so worked out alright in the end
