Hi Everyone...
Today, my phone froze while playing radio from InTune so I took out the battery and re-booted it.
It seems that it was not in a bootloop .....
I tried wiping cache, etc.. and still it would not work.
I tried re-installing a backup, even tried installing a fresh rom over top..... Nothing...
No matter what I try, Wiping, or re-flashing a new rom, it just wont get out of its bootloop.
I hope my system partition is not damaged.... because the internal SD is fine.
Im was on Turkbey v17 with my own mods & theme w/ Perseus Kernel 32 .. Everything was working perfect till now.
Anyone have any ideas?

Hi,
Do this, this wipes ALL of your data!
- Flash a stock Samsung ROM
- Go in recovery mode, reset your device.
If this doesn't work, then it's very probable your device is broken.

Thanks to the both of you!
I backed up my internal SD content and then reset my phone from Recovery also formatted everything...
I Then installed stock rom - (which still had bootloop) - I formatted the entire thing again & did a Hard reset.
Then I took an old recovery backup and flashed that in CWM.... That did it! It now is working with last months backup.
It seems like the system Cache was completely corrupt and only a full format & reset would fix it.
Thanks again guys.
Problem solved.

Trying to install themes on the S2 and everytime I keep getting bootloop no matter what theme it is. Tried an ICS and also the Ultratoxic themes
What I am thinking of doing is a wipe data/ factory reset in ClockworkMod mode then load up the Rom via Odin and then flash the theme
Will this work or does the wipe data also delete the back ups created with CWM?
Anything else that maybe causing boot loop?
On UltraToxic Rom and latest Siyah Kernel
The bootloop might be caused if you use a SystemUI.apk/Framework different than the one supported by the ROM.
Clean Slate for those that balls up the firmware .Or need to return to service or decide if its hardware/firmware problem .Or even just to clear out old roms etc .
Backup data first if phone is working .
Boot CWM recovery
Mounts and Storage
Format cache data system sd card .
Remove battery
Boot to download mode
Open Odin
Install correct stock firmware .
Still problems use usb jig to set rom counter to zero .
Return to service centre .
Or throw in the Liffey .

If the theme is not made for you rom, then you get bootloops.
If the theme is made for you rom and you still get bootloops, wipe the cache and chances are it will boot.

Go to CWM recovery and do a data/factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik cache, reboot and restore your apps.

THANKS SO MUCH FOR THIS I MANAGED TO GO TO RECOVERY AND DO THE UPDATE AGAIN, NOW MY PHONE WORKS PERFECTLY WITHOUT LOSING DATA !!!!
Thank you really really much for this
Ok so heres the info burb:-
My phone is UK SGS3 i9300 Vodafone, I rooted it a little while ago, tried a sammy variant custom rom (JB), then changed to paranoid android (cm10). I then tried injecting the sammy firmware files to try and get s memo work - it didnt work anyway, and i lost some data (had backups), so I updated the ROM (without data wipe) but things weren't right, so I was going to do a factory reset, but decided to change to a sammy rom again. aaaaand now it goes really wrong :/
I tried Psycho ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1947072) I did a factory reset, and then installed it. the boot logo changed but it just began to bootloop. no adb logcat... o and i had the touch CM recovery with extsd support. I tried again, but also wiped dalvik, cache factory reset, this time i noticed that when i did the factory reset, it rebooted recovery. flashed it again to no avail. so i found UltimaROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1911572) it had the aroma installer which i liked. I used a laptop to transfer the files onto my extsdcard. factory wipe (rebooted), wiped dalvik n cache, and went thu the installer fine, but still hung on the bootanimation. and to my surprise it was still the one from psycho rom. I wiped again and tried to install again but same problem. EDIT: I just remembered that it came up with a modem choice... I wasnt sure which to pick...
so I did some research tried to find out what was wrong... Following a few suggestions, I downloaded the I9300BUBLG3 (search on sammobile says thats uk vod - 4.04) from sammobile.com and flashed it via odin. I did skip triangle away, because I was just going to put a custom rom back on it. I'm more concerned about data wipe causing a reboot recovery... I also flashed cf-root again over the top to get recovery again. It STILL hangs on the samsung logo! I have even used the recovery after cf root flash, it still reboots when you select factory reset -_- I can get into recovery, and download mode - so that something right? why is it rebooting when i wipe data? did i flash the wrong stock firmware? Whats the next step? what haven't i tried? PLEASE tell me its not fully bricked?
Thanks in advance
/data GONE?!?!
UPDATE: I've just tried wiping again, and viewed the recovery log, it said it couldnt find /data/... it looked on the sdext as well i think same with other wipes... it cannot find source :'( HELP! I've got to go out for now (without my phone :'( ) - so i hope to return to some advice...
When you go to advanced mode you can mount all parts? Try to set permission only to test.
You can format each part at advanced?
ok so the mount / unmount feature appears to work (or so it says), but when i go to fix permissions, and check log - sh:fix_permissions: not found
when I format system n cache n preload it works as far as i can tell via logs, when i did /sdcard/ it said it couldn't remove "." and ".." I guess that just mean it was already blank (which i had done b4 messing all these roms)
it also just occurred to me to try adb shell in recovery! ha and it works! I can see the sdcard0 and sdcard1 can even access /data!
ok heres what I've got in /data/...
/data/app/*.apk - - - - LOTS OF APKS (i guess wipe didnt work)
/data/data/ -- - - the data for my apps
/data/dalvik - - empty
/sbin/fix_permissions - - is there!
there are obv all the other folders like app-private, media, user,system, gps etc etc
SO why cant my recovery perform a data wipe without rebooting(and failing)?? Ooooorrr what do I have to remove via adb to flash a rom?
--------UPDATE-------
right heres how ive SORT OF fixed it.
I used adb shell with su to wipe data (didnt work without su) then formatted system, cache dalvik etc etc all with adb. I rebooted recovery and flashed UltimaROM. It works and it HAS booted - this is how my phone was left today.
I do have several strange problems tho. I know my cable is a little odd - it doesnt always connect right (maybe thats how i caused the problem - mtp style fyi)- but i cannot seem to get it to copy to the the extsd or sd via the cable. I can use solid explorer to transfer files etc, I can use wifi explorer to transfer files... so the sdcard appears to work. My internal sdcard shows a could of ROM zips that are 0 bytes, and I cannot delete them. I cannot "convert to user app" with titianium backup pro (aka TT) to uninstall the stock email app. TT also shows my internal as 12.1gb total?!?!?! I've not restored any of my apps bar a couple which ive done via the market.
Soooo is my internal partitioned wrong? or does it need an error fixed, or partition alignment... and WHHHHYYYY does my recovery STILL reboot when i try to wipe data (i tried just after installing the current ROM)?? what have I done wrong?!?!
internal screwed i think
BUMP! XD please see above for the update...
So much words! •_• anyway, since you are stuck on Sammy logo, then i guess you are on a bootloop? Just go to download mode and flash a stock firmware from sammobile.com

Ive done it already, ive got it to boot... look at my update post above. I mean 12.1gb internal is kinda worrying me.
Cannot make head nor tail of the problem .
Standard reply to a non boot is .
Boot to recovery format cache data sd card and system .
Flash stock rom via Odin .
No recovery flash CF root recovery first .
That should give you a clean wiped phone .

OK well I'm going to make another thread now because it is booting. I have a different problem ATM really even tho its kinda a continuation of this... I'll change topic head to solved if I can...

Hi guys.
My phone is a international i9300
I've been searching for a problem like mine in the forum for three weeks now and I couldn't find a proper solution.
I just can't flash any rom via CWM anymore...
I can flash roms via ODIN, but when it comes to CWM, it gets stucked at Samsung logo after the install.
I tried:
Wipe cache / Dalvik / factory reset.
before the installation, after the installation, every combination possible.
Tried megawipe and no help.
Changed the kernel, Siyah, Googy, stock...
Changed versions of CWM, touch.
I have now the Phil'z 5.0.15.
I like very much the XXELK4 version from roalex with its MOD, for the call recording and full multiwindow support, but can't flash it anymore, nor any other custom or stock via CWM.
By now I can only have a full stock flashed via odin, or my Omega 46.1, wich I have a full backup.
Another solution could be find a .tar rooted and with the MODS flashable via Odin, but I really wanted to understand what's happening with my recovery.
Thank you all and congrats for the great work with the forum.
In cwm format..
Data
System
Cache
Then go to advanced and wipe dalvik cache
Then flash the rom.
Your cwm is upto date?

Sorry.
Forgot to include in the original post... I tried that too. Formatted everything
Got the 6.0.6.3
I also tried with the last Philz recovery.
And with previous versions of both too.
Have you tried to go bk to stock,root that firmware then install cwm then flash custom rom? Clean slate start.
Your problem may be a bad file download .

I'll try to download again, although it's not likely that several files are bad. I tried with so many different roms...
I bought another micro sd of 64gb. Maybe the one I'm using is ruining the files...
There can't be a so huge bug in philz recovery
Try install from internal sdcard, a simple 'Factory Reset before New Rom' no need to mega wipe anything.

Of course. And I tried with different versions of Philz' and also CWM. It can't be a bug in recovery.
Re-downloaded the revolution 29.0 and the Roalex XXELK4 rooted, copyed directly to internal and flashed... Same problem. Stuck at Samsung logo in boot. I'm begining to think my phone is screwed up. But this is so strange. I can restore my backup with no problems, and also can flash with Odin.
Is there a way to flash a .ZIP ROM in Odin?
Does not make any sense .
What model phone do you have ???
What model firmware are you flashing .
What about basic stock custom roms flashed via CWM ??
Have you booted to Philz recovery mounts and storage format sd card cache system and data then flash rom ??
Agree it is strange Deviating a little from your problem but have you tried flashing anything with TWRP recovery see if the problem persists with that.

I know it doesn't. That's why I'm going crazy.
I uploaded the screenshots with my system specs.
The model is correct, international i9300. Tried to download from the site and also directly from rommanager.
The firmwares I'm trying to flash are stock, but rooted by Roalex. I couldn't find a pure stock .zip for testing with CWM. The firmware I'm using is UBEMH5 from sammobile, wich I flashed via Odin.
Yes... Tried and formatted everything, several times, mounted, unmounted, every possible order...
Almost giving up. :crying:

I never used TWRP. Can I flash the same ROM file .zip with it or it requires it's own rom file type?
I'm gonna be out of the country for two days. When I come back I'll give it a try.
Thank you all so far.

It's been a while since i used it last time was when I had a S2 and I used it all the time:good: You can flash any rom with it that cwm can flash (as far as I know) but it had a little trouble restoring backups made with cwm but I think that got fixed.But you can make backups and loads of other things with it I recommend people to try it at least once This won't fix your cwm problem but would be interesting to see if it works
If twrp doesn't work on stock Flash googy Max dualboot kernel and keep stock as primary rom and custom as second rom. Then you have best of both world's :thumbup: also take the pic down with your emei showing :banghead: never ever show this!
What i would do in this situation is .
In recovery format cache system sd card preload .
Flash stock rom via Odin.
Check phone works ok .
Then root / flash philz recovery .
Put custom rom on sd card boot to recovery factory reset .
Then install custom rom watching setup to spot a failure point .
Wait for rom to load 10 mins fails then remove batter replace and factory reset .
Problem solved
Hi folks.
Think I figured out what's going on.
Via TWRP it says the files were corrupted, although the file sizes were identical.
I MD5 checked the files in my computer and they're ok, but when checked already inside my phone or SD they're not.
Instead of copying the files via USB cable I removed the SD card and inserted directly in my laptop slot and copyed the files. MD5 checked and they're ok...
After I tryed again copy via USB and the files were corrupted again.
I think my desktop USB or maybe the Samsung drivers are doing that.
Well, problem solved. I hope this helps other people in future problems.
Thank you all for your help and support. Keep on with the great work.
Mark solved then for other users .
