No link between the custom binary counter and the boot loop.
The last one indicates the number of custom flash on the device, nothing else.
Go to recovery mode (Volume Up + Home + Power) and perform a wipe (cache first and data/cache if boot loop stays here).

Flash stock rom via Odin following the instructions .
Post at what point in Odin it fails .

You can try "Factory reset". I will delete all cache data (no problem) but also all personnal data (stored into internal phone memory).
But without that, I don't know how you can restart your phone.
Before doing that, can you tell me what firmware have you flash (and what is the previous firmware) ?

You are using two different ROM. Cyanogen and TW (Samsung ROM) doesn't use the same folder/files organisation on Internal SD Card. So, you have two solutions :
1) Flash another time CyanogenMod (the same version that you have already installed) and reboot the phone to make a backup for your data
2) Perform a "Factory reset" to use the stock samsung firmware (XXEMC2 in your case) (but you loose all data store into Internal SD Card).

So what was the fix?
I ended up in the same situation rushing around - I would take a guess that using the stock recovery you did a cache & a factory \ data wipe??
Because that was the fix for me - if it was my own S3 I would have just kept CM! But this was trying to help someone else.

I did everything I was supposed to do, first succesfully rooted the phone. Then I put the zip file with the rom into the sd card and then went into recovery mode, installed file from zip and it said success in install so I chose to reobot and now it hangs there... Any one can help me out? I'm scared...

A bit more details. What phone model? What were you trying to flash? Where does it hang, on the Samsung boot animation, or in the recovery?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2
Galaxy s2 international (gt 19100). It hangs on the boot logo, which now is a yin yang with ics on it, I guess this is a NEAT thing. I can go into recovery mode, it just hangs if I try to boot normally.

The yin yang boot logo is actually the kernel. (Siyah)
You should probably try a factory reset/wipe data from recovery. This will alleviate 90% of boot loops and stuck on boot issues.
How do I do that?

You just said above you can boot to recovery... Once you are in recovery mode, can you not follow the recovery menu system to find the wipe data/factory reset option? It should be pretty straightforward.
I'm not running Siyah, so I don't know what the exact menu item is called in the recovery image that is in that kernel.
I tried that but it still does the same thing... any other tips?

Actually, let's take a couple steps back.
What model phone do you have? It's printed on the label under your battery.
it says model GT-i9100
ssn i9100GSMH

Ok. Are you SURE you're doing a wipe data/factory reset when in recovery? If so, then I'd flash a stock firmware, full wipe again, then try the Neat ROM install again.

Find all you need to know here.
As an easy rule before installing any new ROM (that isn't an upgrade from a previous version ex. Cm10 builds or if otherwise stated ) wipe data , cache and dalvik cache , which is under advanced

Hi everyone, i've got a huge problem with my i9300, i've got the foxhound/[email protected] rom since a week, and everything worked fine, i updated once without problems, however today i did the update with usual procedure, but now i've rebooted and i'm stuck on a bootloop after the apps optimizing part, where Android tries to optimize two apps, then open them, but then boot animation starts again over and over.
I tried going into recovery but it did not do anything, so i i tried flashing CWM via Odin, however now if i try starting in recovery only the samsung boot screen shows up and stays there forever.
Please help me

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

Thank you really really much for this
Hello
my friend changed his password to the phone, but of course he forgot it..
I thougt that a wipe and a new rom could do it.
I've struggled with it a long time now..
I can flash cwm recovery - ok
I have tried du download a ICS stock rom, and flashed it with odin. it gets stuck at the samsung logo.
Then i tried to flash a Gingerbread stock rom. then i asks for the code again.
I flashed a new .PIT-file
When I flash the gingerbread rom, it still have the same background as before.
My question is how to I get rid of ALL data on the phone? internal sd-card and so?
some data must have survied the data wipe/dalvik wipe in CWM
what to do?
There is no ext. sd-card
phone is af gt-i9100 intl. version

when the ICS stock rom gets stuck at the samsung logo :
* Boot into recovery mode to do this press and hold Home + Volume UP + Power and your mobile phone will boot into recovery.
* From the recovery screen, Go to Factory Reset and Wipe cache one-by-one and confirm both.
* Now, Go back and select “reboot system now”.
hello
thank you for your answer, but i've tried that.
but how can it be, that the phone remembers the password and backgroun, even after a wipe?

data wipe means that the user-data is deleted
I think that device passwords are saved with the system-data
you should - 'format system', that should do it.
good luck.

hi there i have had my device rooted for awhile now and all of the sudden it just started to get stuck in a bootloop, just displaying the "samsung galaxy s III GT-I9300T" screen then goes black and repeats
i have a sgs3 GT-I9300T (from telstra, australia if it matters)
i rooted with "CF-Auto-Root" which worked fine and was working fine for atleast a month
i dont have a backup (yes im a noob/idiot for not creating a backup but didnt think there was any reason to)
i have tried flashing the latest firmware from sammobile using odin (with only auto reboot and F. reset time checked)
i can still access recovery (factory or custom from flashing in odin)
i've already tried a few suggestions from some posts on here but alot of them arent for the international/I9300T version so wasnt game enough to try them out in fear of fully bricking it
if anyone can help out with what i should try that would be great
i would even settle for resetting flash counter and system status back to 0/offical so that i can try and return it
current state is:
Custom binary download: Yes (3 counts)
Current binary: Samsung Official
System status: Custom
Did you try factory reset from recovery before/after reflashing stock?

yes and even installed CWM recovery to clear the "dalvik cache"
Here is thought
Pull out sdcard, better format in FAT32, copy few ROM into it by using card reader or other usable phone which has sdcard slot.
Flash any of newest recovery such as TWRP personally suggested, Backup current ROM in case of further needed and then
Factory reset, format /system partition, wipe cache / Dalvik cache, and then flash new ROM too see if it works.
Remember format system partition!

download this file http://checkrom.com/threads/resurrection-odin-checkrom-evohd™-v4.896/
get into odin and flash this file into your phone through the download mode ... if everything works it should boot into cwm recovery .. then wipe data\factory reset , wipe cache , wipe dalvik cache and reboot ... wait 15 mins and it should work!! Good Luck!
woot this worked!
i tried re downloading the file first like qtwrk suggested and reflashing it in odin which still returned the same result but i then downloaded this one and did it and it worked
i got into the os downloaded triangle away and reset the counter then flashed the telstra one again so that it was right back to factory default firmware which is what i wanted, will proberly root it again but will def make sure i get a full backup right away incase of any issues later on.
thank you all for your help
hye me again just thought id write an update on my situation
it appears that the phone had stuffed up again this time tho couldnt get into recovery mode but could still get into download mode
i didnt bother doing the same thing again instead i just took it back to telstra and they replaced it, and they replaced it with the 305 model so worked out alright in the end

Be careful because PhilZ as a option to do a normal wipe factory reset but also a option to install a new rom which formats all the necessary files to do that including your system (rom). This can leave you without a rom to boot into if you don't know how to use it propably,I would just recommend just flashing back to stock with Odin (and don't forget to factory reset after using Odin.

If you have tried flashing stock (and you have flashed everything correctly and wiped correctly) and you are still stuck in bootloop the only option I can see is to try the rescue firmware in the stickies forum.
Be very careful and follow instructions carefuly as it containes a pit file,if this failes then I would suggest service repair.

Tried to wipe again and booted up. It just took longer than normal (5mins) and then it booted up as normally. Thank you very much !
Now, if I want to flash Cyanogenmod again (Not Installer !), I just have to root and then flash Cyanogen Mod, right ?

Yep I agree don't use installer seen alot of problems with it... If you just want to install Cyanogen Mod (or any custom rom) with custom recovery then you do not need to root (only root if you want to backup or access anything from system), all custom roms come with root included. Just use a custom recovery wipe then flash your rom (factory reset if it bootloops) done.
