Have you tried to re-flash??
Have you tried to flash kernel via recovery/download modes?

Stuck on boot screen

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
go to recovery, do a data reset and wipe cache..hope this helps..worked for me a few times.

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.

Flash kernel with Odin.[http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1617219]
After your phone is booted put the phone into recovery modes., In CWM do you wipe data / wipe cache / wipe Dalvik cache / format system in mounts and storage.Then install Rom from sdcard.

have you checked md5sum: e9c809385764bc6083616ce8cd5b0f36?
once downloaded, it should have the same md5..
wow.. size: 150.21mb? that's pretty lite

what he is trying to say is that you should flash the kernel AFTER you flash your ROM
the ROM you chose is [CM10][Jellybro] i9100 Nightly Kangs, yes?
anyway..
here is what you should do
1. flash your rom
2. flash gapps for cm10
3. flash a kernel [an example of which is Dorimanx Kernel]
if you are still confused on some terms, please refer here
I hope this helps
EDIT:
you should root your phone first
You know, after flashing a new rom booting may take some more time, at least a few minutes. Have you been waiting enough time?
First, check md5sum of ROM [what Saywhatt wrote a few posts back]
a. If you are no longer in recovery modes then you can get a kernel [tar file] Flashing with Odin.
If your phone then starts normally, then flash the ROM you want through CWM.
*** wipe data / wipe cache / wipe Dalvik cache / format system in mounts and storage / flash ROM from sdcard***
b. If you can get into recovery mode, not flash with Odin, but do these same steps;
**** wipe data / wipe cache / wipe Dalvik cache / format system in mounts and storage / flash ROM from sdcard***
PS. If it fails in step a first flash stock ROM with Odin
sorry for my bad english

[Q]

hi .am using xperia u,and have installed kernel phantom.while installing firebean i had a problem.1ly the boot animation is visible and not able to enter into the menu.pls give me some suggetions to over come this problem..
tnks..
did you wipe cache and dvalik and data before flashing?

Enter in to recovery, wipe cache/dalvik and reboot system, if it don't works then reflash the ROM.
If you are installing the ROM by flashing from CWM Recovery, wipe cache/dalvik before flashing.
If you are installing a custom ROM over another ROM might also cause this problem. so clear data also..

try flashing another custom kernel, and try to enter into recovery.. if you can enter clear cache, data, dalvik and try booting system.
If this doesn't works you might be doing something wrong. please re do the things which I told you in the previous post. It seems you are skipping some parts.
Flashing Stock FW for Xperia U must bring you out of this. Have you tried out finding the correct FirmWare for your device. I think the latest FW is based on jelly bean and build version is 6.2.A.x.xx....

[Q] Bootloop on any rom, after wiping cache, data, etc.

Hi,
Last night my I9300 decided to randomly reboot and get stuck in a bootloop. This morning I took the time to wipe my cache, data, etc. through CWM but it still would not boot. I did a wipe data/factory reset, wiped cache again and installed the latest AOKP nightly, but it still will not boot.
I can start the bootloader through CWM and I can also get into download mode, but it just won't boot Android.
ADB does list my device while in the bootloop, but I get a "device unauthorized" message.
I've had bootloops before and wiping cache/data/factory reset/installing a new rom always worked, but in this case I am clueless.
What can I do? Is there maybe a way to connect logcat without unauthorizing, or authorizing from CWM, or something?
Do you have the newest CWM?? Or try any other custom recovery
As above, use the latest recovery then manually format system, data, cache preload and data/media/0

On Cwm click advance and try wiping dalvik cache if that doesn't work install your stock rom

[urget]optimizing App-Boot loop even after factory rom.

i flash custom rom i my friend's device then i get the boot loop.
I thought stock rom will solve the problem so i used to odin to flash the stock rom.
Stock rom was flashed successfully but again when it booted up then at optimizing app screen it reboots.
Plz help
It does not reboot to recovery. Mobile is simply restarting and boot loop occurs at "optimizing apps".
