Bootloop with samsung based roms - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Good day all,
I have a problem with samsung based roms. When i flash them, the phonegets stuck at the samsung logo. I tried a few JB 4.1.2 rom from samfirmware.com. And today i tried to flash omega rom v23. With all of them i get the bootloop. I've already tried the newest siyah and philz kernels, but it didn't help.
This is what i do when flashing a new rom: wipe data, wipe cache partition, wipe dalvik. Then flash the rom.
I have no problem flashing aokp roms. Because i have flashed omega rom v12 aokp milestone and it starts normally.
Can anyone help me?
ps. when i do data wipe, i get "E : format_volume : make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblkl1p2
DOes this have anything to do with the bootloops?

Anyone got this problem with Samsung based roms?

Try this download these 2 wipe scripts Rom Wipe / Nuke script Then for good measure this too Kernel Wipe and save files to sd card.
Then go into download mode flash both files, then any Rom you wish immediately after, hope this helps.

Do a full wipe, install the rom, reboot into Recovery, install fixed Philz-kernel (or Siyah), and reboot. In my case it worked, but I agree it's pretty difficult sometimes.
The first boot takes very long by the way.

The files are all good. I've even tried the stock official JB 4.1.2 fom samfirmware. But it also bootloops. I have to add that i had the firmware from three uk 4.0.4. But all the samsung based roms that ive flashed after that (Jellybean) got bootloops.

I have similar problem, no error popups though...
after full wipe (even using cleaning scripts) and installing new rom (with recommended kernel) my phone bootloops on splash screen...
I only found out that stock roms work, and most of custom fails - I managed to launch ReVolt once, failed any other time even with the same method. Furthermore ReVolt caused my simlock to come back (and this is actually a different story - tried every method to unlock my phone but only with Galaxy_S unlock and only on Gingerbread worked)
Could it be casued by any "deeper" ingerence of the provider i got my phone from? It's Orange, Poland
Thanks for any tips

I can install stock ics 4.0.4 without a problem. But when I try to flash stock jelly bean via Odin, it gets stuck at the Samsung screen. And I've waited nearly an hour and still stuck at Samsung screen

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

Almost all the time in case of a bootloop what neo suggested is enough only if that fails should an other kernel be suggested, with the above procedure to be repeated.

[Q] Stuck on bootlogo

Hi,
I am running stock 4.0.3 ICS XWLP7 on my I9100, rooted with CF-Root 5.4 and wanted to update to 4.1.2 by using Chameleon ROM 3.0.2...
So I went to recovery, did factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache and installed the zip file, but after rebooting I am stuck at the bootlogo (with the yellow triangle). After ~10 min. I pulled the battery and rebooted. I was able to get into the new recovery so I tried to flash it again but got the same error.
I am now back at 4.0.3 (nandroid restore).
So.. is there something obvious I did wrong?
TIA for your help.
Did you format system first? If is not working try another kernel

[Q] Root - Flash Problems

hello there guys ...
im confused and in trouble, my problem:
i got a sgs2, had a jb firmware from sammobiles.com, i tried to root my phone,
flash a kernel and look i softbricked my phone and that like 3 times ...
and now, i downloaded again a jb firmware from sammobiles and my phone works now.
i dont know how to root, flash kernel and rom, can someone help me out here ?
i read the threads about root and flash instructions, but still, im dumb -.-
Make it simple, I assume you already know what model you've got so just flash a custom kernel meant fir your device. Get the tar version and flash it via Odin.

The instructions are quite simple:
1. Wipe data / factory reset (mandatory if you coming from STOCK OR 4.2.X version or another ROM)
2.- Install the Main ROM
3- install gapps
4.- When you're back on recovery go to Advanced
5.- Wipe Dalvik Cache
6.- Fix Permissions
7.- Wipe Cache Partition
8.- Reboot
All these options are easy to find on CWM. Which part confuses you?
