[Q] Stuck on Bootlogo - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there,
today i installed the newest JellyBAM Mod. After restarting from Recovery to normalboot, the bootlogo stucked. ( http://www.android-hilfe.de/attachm...tlogo-kernel-logo-aendern-galaxy-s2-stock.jpg )
I waited ~10 minutes but nothing happened. I tried wiping cache, dalvik cache and factory reset but nothing works. That means i can go into recovery mode and also into download mode.
What can I do? I dont nesserly need to have it rooted right away, i guess i need to flash something with odin?
A stuck firmware would be cool, i allready found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1650919
But I'm not sure which one exactly i need to use. Im from Germany and I have a GT-I9100 unbranded..
I looked at SAMmobile but im not sure if i need the Germany - MBC or the Germany - DBT ?? What is the difference?
Please help me, i guess i accedently deleted some backups i made earlier (3-4 months ago?), because I dont have them anymore on my SD Card.

Do you have the JellyBam ROM zip on your SD card?try dirty flashing.

I can get any file on my S2 since i can connect my SD card to my PC.
Maybe i accidently downloaded the wrong ROM but i really don't think so. I try it now, atm downloading the newest jellybam update on my PC.
E: Won't work. I found some older Files when 4.1.2 was first leaked, Can i just use these files via Odin once again? Or will it not work because it's then older Jellybean?

Not the ROM.The mod you installed.Its happened to me a couple of times.All I did was flash the rom without any mods .It'll boot.

Woops, i wrote something wrong. I dont meant JellyBAM Mod, I mean rom. My bad! Still, Can i simply try it with odin?

So,you installed jellybam ROM?and it wouldn't go past the bootlogo ?
Yes flashing stock rom via Odin should work.You'll have to flash a compatible kernel again.

Right.
And because I'm not sure what the "compatible kernel" or the stock kernel is, my plan was to use 4.1.2 leaked version that worked beginning of the year (or even further behind) for me fine. This has a kernel etc. on board, that should work again right??

Have you wiped data? Flashing a ROM without wiping data will make your phone end up like that. If you don't want to lose any data then back it up with Titanium Backup. I frequently play with ROMs and thats what I do.
Personal experience.

Yes it should work.But if i remember correctly,the leaked versions weren't stable and had a lot of bugs.To be on the safer side,download the latest version from www.sammobile.com for your country and phone model/carrier.

For me the leaked version worked fairly well and since i know it worked these days ago, im pretty sure I want to use this one.
If not, I don't know the difference between Germany - MBC and Germany - DBT + I don't know if the kernel works etc.

MBC and DBT are just different firmware versions.As long as they are for your phone,carrier and country,they should work.All of them have same stock kernel.Since yours is an unbranded from germeny,either of MBC or DBT should work fine.
By compatible kernel,i meant for rooting purposes.

Custom kernel, or flashing vlara's prerooted system image from the UCKK6 leak thread.
It's just like the days before zergRush - get used to custom kernels and rooted system images being the only way to root.

Have you tried this? vlara's download does not contain a tar. It is named system.img, and I tared it and tried to flash it, and the flash fails immediately, just like the UCKK6 system dump I made myself, so I would guess that his dump has not been prepared to flash.
If I have time this morning I'll make Odin flashable 2.3.6 with root

To test some of the problem reports I needed to run it. Of course, this is bad for some because I've established that the bluetooth HID problems are not the kernel - or if it is, the stock KK6 kernel is just as broken so there's no easy way to figure out how to fix.
Uploading it is going to be a *****, as it always is. I'm not doing it until the family is asleep.

I am worried about doing that because it was intended for 2.3.4 .

All it does is install a custom kernel - that particular one (zedo's) will probably break wifi.
If it does - flash the 12/21 version of my kernel and wifi will work.

[Q] root results in no wifi

hello i am having a problem here. i don't know what is going on but every time i root the phone using entropy's way i loose wifi access (sorry for such noob question) i tried searching and i can't figure this out ??? do i NEED to have a custom rom for wifi to work ??

What Android software version did you root from??
You are obviously not doing it "my way" since you're flashing SiyahKernel.
You also clearly haven't read any of the instructions - if you used my prerooted system packages, they clearly state:
Note that after flashing this, you might need to wipe data depending on what ROM you were coming from. If you bootloop or things behave wacky, enter 3e recovery (stock kernel means stock recovery) and do a Wipe Data/Factory Reset. If you are reverting from UCKK6 back to UCKH7 you MUST perform this step or wifi will not work.

Well you are right, I did use a different custom kernel. I've been playing around with rbis core a while and have to say "your way" works flawlessly. sorry but my n00bness in the subject of Android mods/rooting is GreaT.

Just asking for the verification, m8.
There is no need to get itch.
Reason: back then, there was a member kept reporting said his phone was UCKK7 and most of us if not all claimed it should be UCKH7 and thing fired up.
Now, I've seen you post UCKK7 so I just asked to verify if it is true or not.
That's all.

[Q] SGS3 GT-I9300 will not boot, what do I do?

So I need some help guys. I have the international factory unlocked 16gb Samsung Galaxy S3.
I recently rooted my phone using ODIN and CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4.tar
It worked great until I saw an OTA update available (Jelly Bean)
My phone would download it but it would not install it.
I did a bunch of Google and Android and XDA searching and the solution I decided to go with was flashing TeamEpic-RemoveRoot-from-Recovery-signed.zip through CWM. Then pushing TeamEpic-Sprint-SGS3-stock-boot-and-recovery.tar.md5 through ODIN. By doing this I would be stock and un-rooted, I could install the OTA update, and then re-root through the previous method.
www . epiccm. org/2012/06/sprint-sgs3-stock-restore. html is the link to where I got these files.
However, after doing these two things my phone does not boot. It instead just sits at the
Samsung
GALAXY SIII
GT-I9300
screen.
I tried to go back in to ODIN and Re-push CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4
I tried to boot in to recovery and install from back up. It is not finding the back up that Titanium made.
I tried wipe/factory reset and it did it but i'm still stuck at the same screen.
I tried pulling the battery.
I tried Pushing CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4 after the wipe/factory reset.
None of these things worked. Sorry if my problem is somewhere else in another forum. I spent 2 hours searching and came up with nothing. Individuals with similar problems as mine were not able to access recovery or download mode.
Any help will be greatly appreciated and thanks so much for your time.
I should also note that there was no recovery after I installed the TeamEpic stuff from ODIN...I tried to boot recovery but the screen just flickered and settled right back in to the same spot.

That sounds like it's not for i9300 but rather the US-versions. These will not work on the international one and cause soft- or hard-bricks.

Titanium Backups are to be used when the new Version/ROM is running, not from CWM. At this point you can only use Nandroid backups which you have to backup/restore through CWM.

This reads as if you have flashed firmware for a different phone .
Jelly bean is not released for SGS for starters . You also mention Sprint a diffrent phone >>

Is there by chance a link to where I can get the firmware to flash again?
Thanks for all the help. And how do I get OTA updates to work since this method obviously is not corrct.

That's the thing.. I'm still on initial release firmware.. my carrier takes forever to release updates and I can't wait..
Isn't there a way I can receive these updates without the carrier delays?
I had the GNex and I simply flashed the Google build and I just received updates as soon as they were released..
Is the S3 different? Wouldn't an unbranded Rom get updates via kies when they come out?

Conclusion everyone got their own choice
You have to remember that despite this being XDA Developers forum we have a lot of new users that are somewhat lost and think this is a Samsung update forum .
jje
You have 3 options:
- stick with original roms updated through ota or kies. You keep your warranty
- use official rom's from other countries. Risk of problems is as low as sticking to original when reading carefully
- use aftermarket firmwares which have different features.
Now decide on that, then proceed =)

The message says I need to flash this kernel here. How do I do that? The webpage linked shows the source code, but I'm lost with what to do!
I have -no- LTE/CDMA radio and have a message which shows "unknown baseband" - again, supposedly the
I originally flashed from the FB01 firmware which is supposedly what I am supposed to use - thus, the Verizon baseband SHOULD allow me to connect.
Any thoughts?
I need to:
Get help to flash that kernel
get help getting the radio working
(My original baseband information was as follows: CDMA i905.03 V.FB04 //////// LTE: SCH-i905.FB01
Not sure about the radio, but you don't have to flash that kernel. It is already packed into the ROM.

Gotchya, Thanks!
I don't know why that was mentioned in the step outlined above.
However, the radio part is the most confusing to me at the moment :-/

As I recall, you first have to be on ICS and it's radios before flashing CM. I would recommend first flashing ICS for VZW then install CM 10.1

I seem to be having trouble finding a Stock VZW flashable ROM. There is an update.zip which should run in the stock recovery, but I think I will need Odin or a CWM flashable ICS build.
Any thoughts?

Any fix to this yet? I will never use my tab on a network, just want a better running rom and cant seem to find anything that works. Tried pershoots kernel but it just gets stuck at the samsung screen for more than 45 mins until i just hard reset and nand back to stock. I got this tsb for free, its just very laggy. Thanks for your time guys
Edit: basically i just want to verify that CM can and is working on this specific us cellular device.
stock rom

CM should work (cellular data) and the rom i use on mine, i am currently using it as wifi only, i use cm10.1 it runs really smooth and it allows a stable overclock which makes it run much faster, there are a ton of tweaks you can set another tip is to turn the window animation scale .5 as well as the other two transition and animator. If you need any help flashing shoot me a pm and i can walk you through
