Stuck in bootloop after installing leaked 4.2.1 then removing it - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey there
I installed a leaked 4.2.1 firmware but it turned out to be too buggy so I removed it and installed the stock 4.1.2 firmware which is I9300XXEMB5_I9300OXAEMB5_BTU however I get stuck in a bootloop after that. What do you think is causing the problem? I used to flash it using ODIN just fine but for some reason now I am in a bootloop. I was able to flash CWM and install Android Revolution HD and it's working but I'd like to go back to stock ROM without root or anything since a couple of friends of mine ended up with broken motherboards after being rooted for a while.
Would flashing this bootloader "bootLoader_XXEMB5.tar.md5" and then the stock ROM work? The 4.2.1 leaked ROM may have updated my bootloader or something.
Thanks!

You have to boot in recovery and wipe

Oh wow how could I miss that. Thank you so much. I just realized that I have a problem with the Messages application occuring on any ROM I install, so it's not a problem with the leaked 4.2.1 firmware but with my device. I am going to wipe the device and cache and reinstall 4.2.1 and see how that works out! Thanks again.

[Q] Cannot Flash ICS ROMS?

For some reason I cannot flash 4.0 roms. I wipe everything and format system but still no go. I get stuck at a black screen after the red Moto boot logo.
Any help would be great. Thanks
Is your system up to date. I've noticed that they all state your phone must be at version 6.12.173... I've had mine about a week, and it was at 6.11, and I had to flash the update manually as the ota wasn't taking. I have yet to try an ICS rom though.
Think someone also had a problem because they were not using the latest version of Safestrap.

[Sola] Unable to turn Wifi On

Ok, I was using the official ICS rom and out of nowhere I got the Wifi bug, my wifi was unable to turn on.
So I already tried to fix:
1) Unlocking the bootloader
2) Installing the CMW recovery
3) Installing the xICS Hybrid ROM rom (wiping everything)
And the bug is there even on a wiped new rom.
Still not working.
Why??? Isn't there any fix for it? Even changing roms!
Please help!
I'm going back to GB, I bought this phone for the ICS update, I still cannot believe that I will going back because of this bug.
Really.
reflash the official ics ftf
it may help i guess

Well your phone is i9100g... You sure you flashed ROM of i9100g and not of galaxy s2 i9100...coz many people make that mistake..
Post this in the i9100g...idk how much we can help you with this..
Anyways, try factory resetting the phone...if no luck take it to Samsung customer care...it can be a hardware problem. ..
And ya, which ROM are you flashing? The official stock ROM or custom ROM?
Custom ROM do have many bugs and vary from phone to phone. .. Try going to stick for one and check if problem is still there. .
Press thanx if I helped...

ya..done factory reset but still got the problem...
like i said before..the touchscreen work fine if i plugin charger or connect usb to pc/laptop...
i dont think it becoz hardware problem since it work perfect on stock GB, stock ICS, aokp, CM and 4-5 other custom ROM...
can it becoz of battery? i use 1650mah...i have try 1500mah and touch screen getting more worst...
i still cant find any solution for my phone..
already try many method like
- using re-partion on odin with pit file
- format data, system, cache, emmc
- wipe data/factory reset/dalvic cache
- flash using odin/cwm
- root/unroot
after done all above..touch screen laggy and still make dash line on drawing...
after my last post...i have try most rom on Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development Section and my touchscreen on all rom are working perfect except official stock JB or custom rom base on stock JB...
forgot to mention that the day on my 1st time installing stock JB i accidently flash Galaxy tab 2 p3100 firmware and got softbrick
but successfuly unbrick then done flashing stock JB...dunno if this incident can damage my phone...
or is other way to make FULL FORMAT internal SD? to make sure the file that i accidently flash completely remove...

you could try Blazing Kernel, it can be flashed via stock recovery. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2113545.
Or you could also flash original GB and upgrade to JB either through OTA or KIES.

I have tried that two methods, Flashing GB (everything works great), flashing ICS (everything works great too), and then JB trough OTA and the touch screen doesnt work properly. I have tried the last Blazing Kernel too without success.

We have the same problem dude, touch screen not working properly after stock jb (xef) flash but working flawlessly when phone is plugged. I can't have a custom rom above 4.2.1, else I have the problem. Now I'm on CM10.1 4.2.1 and can't leave it because of this, the official rom I want is the official.
Did you got the screen of your phone replaced ? Because mine was and I was wondering if it was that.

Not sure if it was replaced because I bought it used on ebay.
But are you using CM10.1 4.2.1 without touch screen problems? Can you tell me the date of the release so I can try to flash my phone with that ROM?
Thanks
Yeah without touch screen problem. It's 20130213 nightly

Make sure you are getting a clean flash... wipe data, cache, dalvik cache.. and then go to mounts( in cwm ) or advanced( TWRP ) and wipe system ( format it in cwm )
Also make sure you have a good download.. that can cause many different issues... from boot loops to force closes.

Do you have a good download or a better rom or even a good md5 to flash to go back to stock?
I am having a lot of problems with this tablet, sometimes it crashes, it bootloops, sometimes it just freezes and sometimes I need to force restart it so much times till it boots properly because it freezes while booting a lot.
also whenever I connect it to the PC it seems to have problems.
It used to be my sister's so I fear she broke it
Thanks for the reply
@arboy2
You can find the stock rom at sammobile.com
Also.. make sure you have an ICS bootloader... almost all the custom roms require that bootloader. You can find it at pershoot's site and flash it with Odin.
As far as good download's with md5's go.. this forum doesn't seem to use them as much as most forum's. So what I do is download a rom twice and check the md5's against each other.. that's not the best way, as you could have 2 bad download's, but it's something.. lol
If you can't find the stock 4.0.4 ICS rom at sammobile... I think I have it.. somewhere I also have the ICS bootloader..
But if you're new to flashing and Odin... I highly recommend doing some reading and watch QBKings' video's..
I would also recommend(once you know that you have the ICS bootloader)that you use the infamous TWRP recovery.. it is the best recovery for this device ( I believe )..

[Q] over heating after rom flashed

I´ve flashed S4 Revolution v6 rom with no problems at all.
After going on a tour my i9300 reached 43º. I thought it was just me getting excited but it still happens.
I´m using titanium backup and removed all apps I didn´t want but didn´t improve.
After idle it´s ok but as I start using net or a few multitasks.... 43º again
Also, I´ve deleted cache, dalvik and factory as well and flashed again with no luck.
On another note, on previous S4 Revolution v5 it was fine.
Any ideas please???
Wipe phone flash stock rom and test and or read the rom thread .

any way that is based on a leaked rom and hence bugs are expected. tweak according to your requirements. else mega wipe and flash the rom again.
