flash stock ICS Rom ftf with flashtool

Thanks for help
Thanks I managed to flash stock Gingerbread in the end.
In case anyone else has a similar problem here is a handy guide I found. (youtube.com/watch?v=hPPWRXcsz7g)
Where it says connect phone I found you need to connect it in fast boot (hold volume up button as you connect it) when the software is ready to flash un-plug phone then connect in flash mode (hold volume down button as you connect).

Flash stock firmware.

[Q] Can't remove installed software and can't use odin

Ok so I'm fairly new to the rooting scene, and these forums, but so far everything has been pretty good, except for one small problem. I installed a custom boot logo, and afterwards my phone was lagging a bit. I contacted the boot logo programmer, with no response, so I decided to wipe my system and use the backup from right before I installed the custom boot logo. Unfortunately, the boot logo has not changed, and my phone 'fails' whenever I try to flash something from Odin. Anyone know what to do in this situation.
If you want to do a full wipe of you device,cos it sounds like tha boot logo is corrupt,then boot to recovery and wipe cache partition and dalvik cache.then go to "storage and mounts" and format system,data and cache.Select "Go Back" and factory reset your phone and reboot.If it doesnt go past the boot logo after 1min then pull the battery,put it back in and turn it back on.Its a pain in the arse but it will completely clean up your device and if you where rooted you will need to probably reroot but berfore hand plug in your phone to your PC so it gets recognized again.
EDIT:Just incase,first of all download titanium backup from the market and backup your apps!!!!

You need to wipe usb storage, sd card, then put phone in download mode, flash stock ROM using Odin. You need to fully wipe everything.
Sent from my Sexynos SGH-i777 using XDA Premium.
I've trying reflashing the stock ROM and kernel; however, it gives me a FAIL and says can't open the serial (COM) port.
I have solved the problem by closing Samsung Kies and wiping the system, thanks for all the help offered.

Stuck on unlock screen

Hi guys I received a Refurbed phone today and unlocked my phone. I have tried both Tenfars and the RomManager version of recovery on my phone. When I boot up my phone says Unlocked and if I choose to I can enter fastboot or recovery without issue. The problem comes when I try to flash a rom.
After doing the standard Factory reset, wipe cache wipe dalvik, I reboot and then get stuck on the Dual core screen. I have waited more than five minutes on this screen with no luck. Any suggestions?
I have tried both Aura and Darkside in the same manner as described above.
Thanks much!
You may NOT wipe Factory Reset after flashing a rom... maybe its that the problem...
1.- Wipe Data/Factory
2.- Wipe Cache
3.- Flash your desired ROM
4.- Reboot
Try it in that order...

Yeah I always do all of the wipes before the rom... It ended up being fixed by reflashing RomRacers recovery. Thanks

Reboot

Ok so i have rooted and used cwm to make a backup of my stock from which is on Three UK carrier.
Then i put a custom rom on the phone and used it for a while but decided to go back to stock, but when i done the recovery all i get is constant boot loop just after the three logo. It never gets to to lockscreen.
I have done the usual things like wiping all the cache before booting but it wont work.
Can anyone help and if not does anyone know where i can find the stock rom for my phone.
Thanks.
Just do a wipe data/factory reset from the recovery menu.

[Q] Stuck on bootscreen

Hey,
First off i hope i have put this on the right sub forum.
I've been stupid (I Think) I've olso looked around on the forum and the [READ THIS] Got a Boot Loop? Don't post a New Thread!
topic.
I'm using my SGS2 for a year now and was using the ressurexionRimix rom for a while.
I've been plaing around with my phone so i got lots of folder that were not used etc, so I wanted to get it back to factory settings, here is when all went down.
Via Settings-Backup and recovery i gave my phone a factory reset (while using the latest ressurexionremix rom, i think this is the misstake i made) When my phone went into the reboot is got stuck on the splash screen, it kept reapeeting the boot animation.
The second mistake i mad was not puting back my back-up but thought well i want it back to it's first state so i'll use ODIN to flash the stock ROM onto it. now, 4 hours later and about 10 trys with diferent versions of the stock roms i'm still stuck on the boot screen.
I've also tryd flashing a cwm so i could get in cwm recovery, this also without any luck
Does anyone have a idea what to do!?
go back to recovery - mounts andstorage and format the following :
cache, system, data, sdcards if you have it in recovery. reboot
you have a bkank screen as your phone has been wiped. reboot into download mode.
Connect odin and flash a stock rom. reboot and your phone should work provided that you have not damaged the flash chip on the motherboard.
Is this in CWM? the problem is i dont have that anymore because i've flashed it toc stok. I now get in the Android system recovery
The option i get there ar:
Reboot system now
apply update from external storage
Wype data/factory reset
Wipe cache parition
apply update from cash
test redbend fola[FS]
Will try this, thank..will let you know if it worked
Wiped data/factory reset and cache after this i ebooted my phone and i got the message installing application, now i'm in the setup menu. Looks like it is working.
Did'nt realice there was a recovery besides CWM Thank yoy so much Cosmic Blue!!! You saved my life!!

Phone soft bricked. Please help!

Sony Xperia Z2, locked bootloader, rooted SuperSU.
I was running MM but wanted to update my phone to latest Firmware .575 Marshmellow. Unfortunately, I made the rookie mistake of not making a backup because I was running low on space. Flashed, wiped cache/dalvik and then It went as far as home screen and then boot looped. I could only get into recovery TWRP.
Did a factory reset, clear cache/dalvik again. Nothing worked. Could only get as far as agreeing to terms screen and then boot loop.
Flashed an older firmware (.232) Lollipop that was pre rooted, same issue (don't know what I expected really)
Recovery is still there, I decided to just turn it off and ask someone because the internet is not giving me answers and I think I did enough damage. Please help!
Maybe too late, but..
What about when you wipe only cache and dalvik cache and flash again 575 zip and after that, flash bootloop fix, then restart phone to system from recovery menu?

I haven't tried the bootlop fix bit. I have tried this one though after going back to 570 and it still bootlooped. I'm back to 570 now.
Maybe a more stable flashable version will be revealed soon...one can only wait and see.
