Sounds like what ever tweak you flashed screwed something up. Jeboo kernel should have worked fine.

You have the answer to your question in the same post.
Flash the stock ROM via Odin and try again with other ROMs, if you want to.
Remember to wipe data/factory set and wipe cache. Also wipe Dalvik-cache if necessary.
How would you suggest Wipe data/Factory Reset, Wipe Cache and Wipe Dalvik--from Download mode--first do the Flash with Odin--then do all the wipes?? Obvious, I suppose--but I fail to see how that would clean up the **** prior to flashing new ROM--doesn't have to, I guess?
Do the wipes from CWRecovery before you flash the rom (and reset the flash counter before you do the wipes/lose root if you need to) via Odin.

What would be the best way to go from any custom rom back to a stock rom. Wipe data, cache, dalvik cache in recovery, the shut down phone and flash stock rom via odin? Or should I also wipe system before flashing?
Thanks!

You don't need to do any wipes through CWM if you are going to be flashing a stock Odin rom, odin automatically takes care of all that stuff. You can just boot your phone into download mode as is and flash the odin rom.
Regards.
Btw, your title is a bit misleading/ confusing? Aha, you ask "best way to flash back to custom rom" ??
Yes that was indeed a bit misleading, corrected!
I am using the latest Unnamed 1.1.0 ROM and when I use the shutdown feature, the phone will shutdown, but then reboot immediately. For my install I wiped both data cache and delvik cache before installing, however, I didn't flash from a stock 2.3.4 ROM. Since the directions did not say that was needed, is that not the case, or is this a known bug with unnamed 1.1.0?

If you did not flash from stock 2.3.4 rom and you did not flash from the
previous version of the UnNamed rom that means that you forgot to do a
"Wipe data/Factory Reset" in the clockworkmod recovery before flashing
the UnNamed rom.
Your best bet is to reflash the UnNamed rom but this time when you are in
the clockworkmod menu (CWM recovery) select the "Wipe Data/FActory Reset"
before you flash the rom. (you may want to do a titanium backup of your apps first)
Good Luck!
Also, if you install a theme from a different ROM, the shutdown menu may become rearranged or even nonfunctional.
Thanks Misterjunky, I'll give that a try. Coming from the Samsung Captivate I find the new ROM process a little frustrating. I have been using ODIN to flash the Clockwork (CW) Recovery kernel, then install ROMs via the CW menu. Two questions:
-Is the Wipe Data/Factory reset right there next to the devlik/cache clear on the first CW screen or hidden in advanced?
-Is there an easier way to flash ROMs other than pushing the CW kernel via ODIN?

The "Wipe data/factory reset" is in the default screen which you see first.
Also you only need to flash the odin3 kernel once, not everytime you flash a custom rom.
(SGH-I777_ClockworkMod-Recovery_5.0.2.3.TAR - kernel).
The reason is, that if coming from STOCK Gingerbread 2.3.4 rom we cannot flash any custom
roms without first flashing the odin flash kernel because the stock rom does not have a CWM
Recovery compatible kernel.
The other kernels you see here in XDA for our phones are CWM flash zipfiles which we can flash
since after flashing the custom odin3 kernel we now have a kernel that has CWM Recovery
built-in which is required for flashing any compatible custom roms, kernels, themes and other
modifications. (Which are all zipfiles ) - I hope this explains it.
Thanks for the info Misterjunky, that helped. Unnamed isn't rebooting on power any more either. Reinstalled, no issues, must've forgotten to clear both options prior to install.
I rooted my i777 with UCEL5 from forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746181 with Odin3 v1.85 .
To put on Siyah v3 kernel, it says i must wipe cache and wipe dalvik. Now i dont have an "advanced" option in recovery mode. I did some reasearch and it says i must have CWM to do the wipe dalvik. To get CWM on my phone, i read i must flash another kernel. this part is confusing me.
So i should flash another kernel, for example forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399 , and then do the steps and reflash Siyah onto it? Is this safe to do?
or did i do something wrong with the rooting step, because after rooting my kernel changed but i dont know why CWM wasnt included in this kernel.

i know i am trying to get off this kernel to Siyah, but the instructions for Siyah said to wipe cache and dalvik before flashing the kernel. so is it ok if i just skip the wipe dalvik and go ahead with the flash ?

Yes and don't worry about installing the MobileODIN_FlashKernel_I777-v1.0.zip that is only needed to flash full ROMS you can flash the kernel with just Mobile ODIN... I know it gets confusing just make sure you read all you can and don't do ANYTHING till you understand EVERYTHING... GL

thanks guys for all the help i was succesfully able to do all i needed for my first root and flash rom
Hello, I hope this is the right group.
I have spent the last 2 days trying to get JB working on my SGS2. I previously had ICS Hydra h2o 1.4.1 ROM on my device.
The troubles started when I tried booting into CWM recovery. The phone wouldn't go past the yellow triangle so I had to use ODIN to flash stock Samsung ICS ROM on the phone to get it working again. I have since tried multiple JB ROMs with different kernels but most of them get past the yellow triangle but then stop on logos varying between kernels. I am also unable to boot into CWM recovery and must flash a CF-Root kernel using ODIN to get into recovery.
It is strange that this happens only with JB ROMs and I have no trouble installing Hydra h2o again through recovery.
I always use the same method of installing ROMs through CWM:
- wipe data/factory reset
- wipe cache
- wipe dalvik
- install .zip from sdcard
I have also tried fixing permissions before and after flashing ROMs, nothing seems to get me into the OS.
One ROM, Vanilla RootBox, I have found to sometimes boot all the way into the OS but the system frequently freezes and is unstable. Looks amazing tho.
Do you have any ideas on how I could get JB ROMs working with my SGS2? Is there anything I am missing?

Follow this:
-boot to CWM recovery
-wipe data /factory reset
-wipe dalvik cache (under advanced)
-format /system (under mount and storage)
-flash ROM
-flash Gapps (for jelly bean)
-fix permissions
-reboot phone
Done

Thank you for the reply, but that method does not seem to work either.
One thing I have noticed though is when I select wipe data/factory reset it reports an error formatting /sdcard/.android_secure.
Is this something that could be causing my problems?

When I'm flashing I'm using XLPB kernel with CF-root. That's the kernel I flash to get into CWM when the ROMs misbehave.

Gives me Kernel panic or stops at the triangle loading screen. Seems the only way to get into CWM is through CF-root.

Use a newer version of siyah or dorimanx, they should work fine
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
I have tried three versions of syiah, including 4.1.4 but I will try dorimanx and report with the results.
edit: dorimax kernel is the same.
One thing I noticed tough is whenever I wipe dalvik cache the system reports "unknown volume for /ext-sd blablabla" - maybe this is connected to my problem?
I am at a complete stop...
No JB kernels seem to work whatsoever. Is there any wit to flash the bootloader? Or is that even possible?
I really would like to get JB working on my device.
There must be something about the previous state of my phone, some files or folders that are in the way or are missing or somewhat. Is there any way to completely reset the phone? Not just factory resetting it since that is not working.
edit: Progress! These are my steps:
- Downloaded fresh stock Samsung ROM and another version of CF-root.
- Flashed stock ROM and then CF-root kernel.
- Booted into recovery and did the whole wipe.
- Flashed .zip twice (don't know if that did the trick or what)
- Wipe dalvik cache and fix permissions.
After that the phone booted normally and I'm now running ResurrectionRemix with Android 4.1.1, hoping it wil be awesome as ****.

so you are stuck in bootloop? go to download mode and flash a stock ROM/firmware (you can find it in sammobile.com), just flash it with odin and you are good to go..
maybe your download was incomplete, i suggest you redownload the ROM again
