My phone wont boot now.
It stays stuck at the 2nd Samsung during the boot up.
What happen was I updated today to offical ICS from my rooted gingerbread.
I updated via kias today to get official ICS, got it working and I noticed I didn't have cwm install anymore, so I followed this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1504218
It is pass it did it reboot thing, and never got past the 2nd "samsung" loading screen.
Anyone know how to get my phone booting again?
Flash the latest ICS kernel
I am not sure how to do that without cwm.
Before I updated to ICS when I press power + up down, it booted into CWM. Now when I do that I boots into Android System Recovery <3e>
EDIT: Good news.
Got CWM through installed though odin and then I restored to my gingerbread backup I made earlier.
Flash your roms via clockwork recovery mod from now on.
Drop the ROM .zip on sd card and then enter recovery. Wipe everything three times each then flash a uclf6 based ROM. Never touch Odin or kies again. Be happy. Ice cream sandwich is way better than ginger bread

Had the same exact problem. I "believe" the problem was that the CWM I flashed was perhaps incompatible with the official ICS?
I used Odin to flash cwm 5.5.0.4 as suggested and the fone was shut down with the hanging Samsung screen as you mentioned. I used the DL screen with Odin to the 600mb Team Objection ROM, which at least got me up and running again. I found out that CWM did in fact flash once the ROM was compatible with it. Updated CWM, then to finally get full stability, I had to do a factory reset after clearing both caches, then install the CM9 official.

Update: I installed official ICS again last night, looks like I lost my root and CWM.
I don't want to mess anything up again, so could you tell me exactly what CWM file you used to flash so it doesn't hang at samsung again?
I was having the same problems but I think I was doing it wrong. How are you flashing the root files? I upgraded from Kies, then used Odin to flash cwm touch (5.5.0.4 I think), make sure to let the reboot and that it's actually turned on and you can see your homescreen. Once you do that, THEN flash the superuser 3.0.7 in cwm. Let the phone reboot properly and it should be okay.
I was doing the same without the reboots and that's what caused me to hang at the logo, but after the above it worked well. Give it a try. For anyone who needs to flash the T-Mobile radios also let the phone reboot and then flash it because I was having issues with that which was fixed by letting the phone reboot.
Make nandroids at every step in case it does hang so you can just restore and try again instead of flashing everything all over again.

I've also tried rooting my AT&T Galaxy Note I717 which had recently upgraded to ICS via AT&T/Kies and my phone is stuck at the Samsung boot screen. While I'm no expert with rooting phones, I had no problem rooting it when it had GB installed so I figured I wouldn't have any problems rooting it again. Is flashing the ICS kernel the best way to fix this? Where do I get the ICS kernel from and how do I flash it?
Details: After my phone upgraded to ICS 4.0.4 kernel 3.0.8 (IMM76D.UCLF6), I followed some instructions to root it using Odin3-v1.85 and PDA->pda.tar. Other instructions used cwm-touch-i717-120414.tar.md5 and odin_n1717_cwm_recovery_b4.tar and I tried those but to no avail. So I have CWM v5.5.0.4 installed but I don't know what to do next.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Update: I restored my phone back to a non-rooted working Android 4.0.4 by downloading the stock ROM for my phone (I717UCLF6_I717ATTLF6_I717UCLF6_HOME.tar.md5) and uploading it using Odin3-v1.85/PDA. I didn't even lose any of my settings or data. Now I need to figure out how to successfully root it. But at least I'm not worried about getting stuck on the Samsung screen anymore.
Open odin , PDA cwm file, Droid in dl mode, plug in start unplug, reboot, go to cwm recovery mode and backup onto sd card.
Im learning more, as i soft bricked mine last time

odin for touch cwm

You realize the reason you were stuck was because you flashed a GB kernel onto an ICS system? It would never boot. As the second post suggested... all you had to do was flash an ICS kernel to get it to boot.

so correct...you nailed it...so many are trying to root with gb kernal....
I hope they go to the page I made and follow the green arrowed how to root ics...it is very super simple process to root the official ics...but ....
This happened to me after misreading a comment.
If you put your phone into download mode, plug it in, run kies, and do an emergency firmware recovery. You'll need the serial number. My phone is stock ICS again. Works fine.

so cwm 5.5.0.4 touch is a GB kernel? Because that's all I flashed after the KIES update to ICS and I got the hanging Samsung logo.
I believe some people are trying to get ICS rooted with this cwm and are getting stuck. Of course there are ways out of it, but it'll help the learning process if we can find the problem.

Wait what??!!??!!
you need to read read read read and PLEASE read
Because CMW is not a kernel
Its a recovery
People wouldn't have these issues if they read.
Please refer to the stickies before you really damage your phone.

The OP had posted that he flashed Da_g's GB kernel trying to get root...your issue if flashing CWM may be different. Hopefully you use the steps outlined by bigjoe in his post.

Hi guys,
I've tried flashing CM10 (fxp 134 and fxp 135), but after I give the command to reboot in the terminal, my phone just shows the fxp logo. Doesn't go in CWM recovery when I'm pushing te volume button. Anybody any idea why this is? Flashing CM9 works just fine.
Xperia neo, use the back key not volume down for recovery. What kernel are you using?

I've always used the volume down for recovery, always worked. The wiki also says it's the volume down button. http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Sony_Ericsson_Xperia_Neo:_Full_Update_Guide
I just use the kernel from the package with the ROM.
I always use back key on neo, I use volume down in ray. Try using the back key and let me know the result

Did you flash kernel for cm10?
Used the back key, and at first it didn't work (rebooting from computer), phone shut down again.
But then I put it back on and tried again, and it works, thanks guys!
Yeah, I flashed the kernel
However, I've got some problems with wifi now, which shouldn't be, I read in developers forum that wifi should work.
Also, CWM was kind of unstable. Screen went from left to right when I was navigating the menu.

That is a known UI bug for the recovery, it still works.
As for wifi, do a fresh install.
Flash rom
Flash gapps
factory reset clear cache etc
flash kernel
reboot

Did that, didn't help. There were a few other bugs too I didn't come across in the developers section (but I can't post there), for example google now was not working very well.
Flashed back to CM9 for now, but I will try again when the fxp136 is released
I liked JB a lot though.
Just got a GSIII today and have been trying some JB ROMS out, but so far I have not been able to get WiFi working at all with any of them.
I have tried Vanilla RootBox, LiquidJB and SuperNexus but whilst I can see my WiFi AP on all of them and can enter my password all I get is the "Connecting..." message for ages before it gives up?
WiFi works fine on the stock ROM, and there are no obvious settings on the WiFi router itself which would be causing this.
Any advice appreciated!
You need to flash back to stock ICS then flash jelly beam buddy

Thanks, I just spotted a couple of threads mentioning this.
Couple of questions, when you say flash back to stock does that mean through CWM Recovery, or some other way? Does it have to be a straight flash to a downloaded stock ROM or am I able to just "restore" the backup I made?
Thanks again!
Flash back using odin....i can provide a link if you like

Cool, so I've got Odin (I believe that's what I used to root the phone?) Is there a specific .zip I need to flash back to? Also do I need to boot back in to the stock ROM or just stick JB straight back on again?
Please note, when you have flashed back to ics you need to then set up phone and connect to Wi-Fi once, then proceed to flash jb

Excellent. Do I need to download a specific "Stock ICS" ROM to do this? Any pointers as to where I can find this?
Thanks for the help people
I seem to remember I just flashed an old wannamlite Rom in cwm
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646610
These ones. (4.0.4)
Or try http://fus.nanzen.se/
This is if you want to find the original firmware your phone came with.
I'm still not having much luck with this.
Should I be wiping before I flash back to ICS, and then again before back to JB?
I think a wipe before flashing ICS is enough.
But watch the youtube video on the first post on :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646610
It pretty much explains every part of returning to stock ICS. From there it is just reflashing JB with odin and wifi should work.
Hmm, still not having much luck. I've installed my JB ROM, wiped, gone back to stock ICS using the ROM from the link provided above in ODNI.
But now when I try to reboot in to recovery to re-flash my JB ROM I seem to get a different version of recovery from what I had before and it fails during verification when I try to flash the .zip.
Any advice welcome!
I'm having the same problem here.
BUT, even flasing stock ICS and flasing a custom JB ROM after that does not solve the issue.
Here is what I did in what order. Maybe I'm missing some essential point or whatever:
- full wipe in cwm recovery
- flash stock ICS via Odin (I9300XXBLH3_I9300DBTBLH4_I9300XXLH1_HOME.tar)
- reboot and test WiFi. WiFi works fine! Firmware is 4.0.4
- flash CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4 to gain root again
- boot into CWM Recovery, format /preload (to get rid of apps installing themselves on boot)
- another full wipe
- install zip from sdcard (tried AOKP JB build 4 for i9300 and ParanoidAndroid v2.22)
same old ****! WiFi not conecting!
I would apeciatie any help to solve this problem for me. Aparently reverting to stock ICS has solved this for others but I dont get what I'm donig wrong her...
try some router side adjustments

you need to root again flashing 'CF-Root' via Odin to get CWM recovery. I guess.

that does not seem right. My phone connects just fine with any ICS based ROM. It even conects with JB ROM Android Revolution HD.

Okay so I Re-rooted with CF-Root through ODIN and have got CWM recover back, but now when I re-flash JB I still get the same problems, try to connect to WiFi and it just sits there saying "Connecting..." and then gives up!
Is there a specific set of steps for doing this? I connected to WiFi whilst back on the Stock ICS ROM (LG8) and that worked fine, I have tried various combinations of wiping/not wiping at each stage in between JB->ICS->JB with no luck. Do I need a particular Stock ROM to go back to, do I have to use a specific version of ODIN/CF-Root/CWM?
Very annoying as everything else about the Jelly Bean ROMS seems perfect!
Has anyone worked out why JB ROMS are doing this?
I have the same problem
It seems to work for some people to go back to ICS and then flash JB ROMs, but somehow it does not work for us..
I'm trying an old stock ICS now and the will flash cm10. lets see if that helps
I've downloaded a selection of stock and custom ICS roms to try with the process, hopefully something will do the trick!
Also I don't think changing router settings can have anything to do with this as it works fine for every other device I own, including a different handset running JB. However out of curiosity I spent last night playing with all the settings to see if anything would help. It didn't

Good news! I found a solution!!
use newest siyah kernel and wifi should connect
I've searched just about everything I can think of and am now at a loss...
Here's the situation:
-Coming from stock JB, 6.2.A.0.400
-Unlocked the bootloader
-Installed CWM (I was an idiot and forgot to make a backup)
-(after some struggle) rooted the phone
-Installed this custom kernel
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1894463
At this point my settings looked exactly like what is shown there and everything was working fine.
-Wanting to try some ROMs, I installed this via CWM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069543
It just gets stuck at boot, and I'm not sure what direction to move in. I can access CWM and recovery, but like I said I was a moron and didn't make a backup before. It will connect via fastboot but not adb, so I'm not sure how to push another ROM over or (at this point) just get back to a working phone. I can't get it to flash with flashtool.
Any suggestions are seriously appreciated, let me know if I left anything out.
Flash stock rom with flashtool and start again

hey guys, id like to preface this by saying im VERY new to sony devices, but not new to custom roms and rooting in general.
im currently running pacrom 4.3, but there is an app i want to use that just wont work with it. so i want to go back to stock. i made a nand before i flashed pac, and figured i could just restore back to my stock rooted .290. but when i do the restore, the phone will not boot. i have tried everything... i do remember having to flash a special boot img in order to get pac to work, and im curious if i have to do something similar to go back? i have searched high and low and followed many guides and instructions but sony development seems incredibly confusing compared to samsung and htc...
any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
Does it restore the backup without any errors, or are you getting an error before it completes?

It does a full restore without errors. Then I choose to reboot and the pac boot splash still shows up and it stays there

Flash a boot.img in recovery from one of the stock roms (DoggRom etc) or flash the bootbundle & kernel from a .290 ftf. That should sort it.

i appreciate the tip. i downloaded the Dogg rom, as the monx rom didnt have a boot img. i used quikimg to load it just like i did when going to pacrom. no errors, everything worked fine. but when i went to start the device to put it into recovery, it would vibrate once, and nothing else.
then i tried using flashtool to flash the bootbundle and kernel from a .290, same thing. no errors, smooth sailing, until i try to boot. one vibration, then nothing.
i guess im just doomed to stay on pacrom. couldnt have chosen a better rom to be stuck on though XD

You could try a full flash of .290 then flash boot.img from doggrom to get recovery then restore the backup???
When ever flashing .290 start with a full battery
Hello,
For me from GPe ROM and PAC before:
Flash 290 Sony, the one before 5xx and to finish boot.img from PAC, flash PAC, boot PAC.
RESTORE PAC! :good:
Thank you everyone for the help. I was able to do some SERIOUS troubleshooting and got the app working through trial and error. I no longer need to go back to stock, I can stay on my beautiful pac!
