I installed 4.1.2 on my s2 gt i9100 no brand but will not start, crashes on startup with the samsung logo. Why?
I now have the phone down, I think I have to replace the 4.0.3
this is the tread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1544487
Did you use CWM recovery wipe? Maybe it's emmc brick bug?
It can't be a brick as it is turning on
And it's flashable with Odin, not CWM.

CWM doesn't have the emmc bug, Its a bug in the stock 4.0.4 recovery.

This is most likely because you have just flashed 4.1.2 without wiping old rom data. Its advised on just about every single rom thread to wipe before flash. If you dont want to lose apps/appdata then use Titanium Backup Pro.

you have made a backup of the app + system data with titanium. also save photos, music and video
I did not think to flash a firmware I had to clean everything, I thought it was enough to download the file, put the phone in download mode with odin and startare
now how do I proceed? I wipe the 3 as I did for the rom?

1) Put ur phone into dwnld mode and flash a stock ICS 4.0.3 firmware using ODIN to make ur phone up and running.
2) after that root ur phone by flashing the tar file of Siyah kernel v5.0.1 vide ODIN.
3) then reboot to siyah kernel recovery and wipe Data/factory reset and the wipe cache partition.
4)Dwnld the stock JB firmware from that link u provided and flash the same using ODIN
that way u will have a clean install of stock JB on ur phone
but if by dalal recovery without installing the 4.0.3 and do the wipe, and then install the 4.1.2 is not good?

He has no need to do what you said and install rom twice. All he needs to do is flash kernel like Siyah v6 beta4, reboot into download mode, wipe data and then flash his stock rom via download. No need to install 4.0.3 first its just waste of time.
and where can I download the file of Siyah kernel v5.0.1?you say the kernel?
I installed the 4.1.2 doing the wipe, and everything went ok.
so every time I install a new firmware should I do the wipe right?
and then I do not have siyah kernel but everything went well from recovery

Yes, its always better to do the wipes first for a clean install, as u can see in ur case itself
Enjoy the rom for now and no need to worry about siyah kernel for now
ok
however, once I had siyah then I removed
thank you very much for your help, I did not know I had to do so for the firmware

If you flash a 4.0.4 samsung stock, beware of the 4.0.4 emmc brickbug. Google or xda search will get u tons of info about it.

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
Hey guyz
I flashed siyah kernel
Then I tried dual boot wid sammy jb (1st ROM) and cm10.1 as second.
However I wasnt able to boot to second ROM and I had just black screen
Then I removed 2nd ROM
And tried to boot into primary
But got a bootloop.
Then i wiped cache dalvik cache and partition cache.. Still no luck
Then I restored nandroid.
No luck
Then I flashed stock ROM wid odin
Still no luck
What am I missing.. M new to Samsung..

What ur missing for now is a little commonsense to Read before doing anything silly
1)U should be aware (if not get it now), that u cannot Dual boot Stock Samsung JB4.1.2 or Roms based on it, unless they are modified.
2) Siyah doesn't support Rom's like CM10.1 which is based on Android 4.2.2 properly.
3) Dual boot not wrk'ng with JB 4.1.2 (stock samsung/and roms based on it) is due to the reason that they use 'Preload partition' which is required as 'Secondary rom-partition' for Dual boot .
4) which is the reason why u werent able to boot CM10.1 in the firsrt place and could'nt restore/boot back the stock JB (reason being the data in the preload/secondary rom partition being deleted)
5) now start afresh by installing/flashing a stock JB rom via ODIN.
He he he I read siyah doesn't support jb dual boot still was stupid enough to try :/ ...
And as I mentioned...flash stock still doesn't let it boot... I see Samsung and then boot loop

okay i flashed philz kernel ... formated /wiped data ,dalvik,system,cache preload, ... flashed neat rom.. success... then i tried flashing stock rom.. got a bootloop after seeing samsung logo...
i can restore nandroid of cm10.1
bt restoring nandroid of pure stock gives bootloop.
Sounds like your problem is to do with the /preload folder. To restore a stock nandroid, you also have to restore the preload folder associated with that backup. Search on xda for hawkerpaul's backup and restore scripts for preload, and read his OP on how to use them. That should get you sorted. As you wouldn't have already backed it up from the sound of things, you might not have any luck restoring that exact stock backup, and may have to reflash. If you need to extract data from the nandroid, titanium backup can extract data from a nandroid.

Hello,
I was trying to do a factory reset on my S2, and I noticed it doesn't delete my other files (Music, Photos, Etc.) but it does reset my apps installed. Because I want to totally erase my files, I went to recovery mode and did a wipe, and I think I may have wiped the data, system, dalvic, etc on the process. And now my phone wont boot up. It is stuck at the Siyah logo (Because I flashed siyah on it before and it was a success). After this, I tried to flash siyah again into my device and its still stuck. I dont know what to do anymore, I also tried factory resetting using recovery mode. I have flashed other kernels but it still doesn't work. BTW I am using a jelly bean device

Thanks Sir Slim, I will try to flash the Snapdragon ROM as soon as after I finish downloading it. Because I believe I have cleared out the operating system and other important data on my device, that's why I need a new ROM.
Hi mate,
Do you run a stock ROM on your phone like you didnt flash any custom ROM on it....
Did you check if the SIYAH kernel you flashed on your device has STOCK ROM support, cause if the siya kernel you flashed has no support for stock rom it will just stay on the siyah logo the whole day until it drains out your battery.....
if you want to go to this website : http://dorimanx.shine.sk/ and dowload the v8.xxx those got stock rom support..... then do a wipe data factory reset....
if your phone booted up, and want to you wipe the phone completely, go to settings and do a factory reset there, your phone will prompt you if you want to wipe the memory card too.... put a check on it then follow the steps okay....

Thank you sir! You are right that I did not have a custom ROM when I installed the Siyah kernel. Maybe that's the reason I was stuck

Yes, it is still boot loop, i flash form Wannalite 4.0.3 via Philz to Wannalite base 4.1.2, Stock rom 4.1.2 also bootloop.
You can try to do a full wipe, install Wanam (not Wanna) Lite.
Then reboot into Recovery, flash Philz kernel and reboot system.
Did you try to flash another custom rom by the way?

After flashing a rom, you shouldn't do another wipe. In that case you erase the rom you've just flashed, and there is nothing to boot up.

Last thing that comes up in my mind is: flash the rom. After it, reboot into Recovery, DON'T wipe and reflash the rom, reboot.
Not really sure if this is making any difference, but maybe it is

Hi, all!
I have that annoying problem with all the 4.3 ROM I've tried with no exception. Everything is fine until the first reboot. Then it's stuck on the first Galaxy SIII boot logo. I'm using TWRP - the latest version if it matters.
I always wipe everything first.
Please give more details on how you flash it.

If you did all required wipes and followed the instructions did you try a different recovery? I read in the SB thread for example of people having issues with TWRP

I'll try with different recovery.

Try cwm 6.0.3.6 and after you install the rom and after its set up go to recovery and factory reset

That's strange, I run Philz recovery and every 4.3 flash till now went through without issue.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
I tried all the recoveries I could find. Including Philz. Still the same.
And something else strange. I installed CWM, CWM, touch and Philz and with them I made backups. After restoration of the backup the phone freezes. I also tried to install Omega 49 and the installation goes OK, but freezes before the first start-up.
The only solution was to install manually TWRP (Odin) to restore some of my old backups. I'm beginning to think that there is something wrong with my phone. It's black if it is important.
Suggest total wipe of phone install your stock rom and test
Hi,
I just want to say I'm also having the same problem.
Started using TWRP with full wipe, same issue on 4.3 and no issues on 4.2.
On latest CWM same problem and 4.2 wont even pass the first boot on Samsung logo.
Also had to use Odin to get back on TWRP and flash a 4.2 rom again.
Anyway there is one more thing I would like to try but haven't had the chance to do so, is installing the latest modem and ril. But I'm kind skeptic about that currently because there is also some risks and my S3 is my daily driver.
Don't change the ril on any custom as you stand a big chance of breaking the calls and Tex's. Modem yes but not ril. Do change to cwm and retry.

You are doing a full wipe?. System and data is the main thing to wipe not just factory reset. So go into mounts and storage and format data,system and cache there then flash the rom /gapps.

1. Flash stock with odin
2. Hard reset
3. Boot up and finish first run menus
4. Flash twrp with odin
5. Format data with twrp
6. Flash 4.3 rom
