Tittle says all!​
Things you will need:
1) Copy of Cyanogen Mod 9 FOR S II..DUH!
2) External SD-CARD
4)Custom ROM that you want to Flash!
3) Patience!
How it Works:
Put CM9 on your SD-CARD.
Go into CWM Recovery! (If coming from a custom ROM that isn't booting)
{Otherwise flash stock ROM above 2.3.* and then flash CF-ROOT kernel and then follow the above step}
Select "WIPE DATA/Factory Reset"
Let it finish and Flash CM9 and don't WIPE DATA after flashing!
Boot! Hopefully it will boot and give you the startup screen!
Finish all the forms and such until you get homescreen!
Go into Recovery and Flash ROM without any sort of WIPING!
REBOOT!
CONGRATS! You Have saved your phone from a Field Trip to Samsung!
Don't Forget to click Thanks and flash my ROM first as it is the ROM I tested after flashing CM9! In order to do that just download my ROM and put it on the same SD-CARD and flash after CM9! LINK: DOWNLOAD and if you Just click on the Image in my Signature, it will take you to the whole thread for features and screenshots!
THANKS TO PHISTACHIO for encouraging me to write one more guide!
99.99% of the time a user has a boot loop is due to not cleaning cache or wiping data. Is a guide really necesary?
Also this guide is ONLY for CyanogenMod, you should edit the title to show that.

Thanks for that! But sometimes when you are flashing a your own ROM(junior devs) they mess with boot files and such that with wiping deletes those so this guide with help of CM9 fixes the problem! It does not mean it fixes CM9 or CM it fixes the issue with any custom roms.!
Will this work on a bootlooping stock rom?

have you considered doing a full wipe and flashing the rom again, and fixing permissions or flashing a different rom to see if the audio works?

if the audio worked on one rom and not another, then the system files arent flashing properly.. what recovery are you using.. and like i said have you tried flashing the rom over.. and if so what steps do you take when doing a "full wipe" to flash the rom?

okay, ill say this once again.. *then i think ill add it to my signature*... if you take the proper steps to flash a rom.. make sure that rom is working properly before you do any additional mods to the rom and then say something like the rom is broken or something isn't working../ and also what recovery are you using.. because if your s-on and using any other recovery other than 4EXT your kernel might not flash properly...

Please I need help guys! I earlier today rooted my Samsung Galaxy S3 international variant i9300. After this I went about to install a custom ROM the Cyanogen Mod 10.1 4.2.2 rom, and to do this I followed the this method on YouTube:
After I completed the installation I it showed the Cyanogen Mod logo which looked amazing but after this I kept getting "unfortunately setup wizard has stopped" and "unfortunately google framework services has stopped". I am sure that I maybe installed the older version of gapps and this is why this is happening. How can I fix this issue?
Please help! I have tried almost everything!
Thank you!!!

How can I wipe the system? I've tried through the recovery menu, I selected wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition. Still got the same thing. Do I have to install stock firmware via Odin??

flash CWM touch recovery(latest ones) via desktop odin. then put your CM10.1 and latest gapps .zip files on your sdcard. reboot into CWM touch recovery and then flash the files after wiping data, cache and dalvik cahce!
We all were noobs at some point i'll help u out
Lets start from top.
To get cwm:
- flash cwm or twrp from odin ( i'll trust u know how to do that ) ( go for cwm this time )
To get phone up and running on cm:
-Re-download cm and respective gapps
-Turn off your phone
-Turn your phone on into recovery by pressing power+center+vol down (when the phone boots release power) and you'll be on cwm
-conect your phone to pc
-on cwm go to advanced settings
- mount usb storage
- phone will apear on pc, copy rom and gapps
- once done return to main "page" of cwm and wipe data/factory reset
- then install zip and select the rom zip first after zip is installed install gaps
- reboot phone after
- you'll be just fine
If that dont work out will talk about that later.
Take care

Hello,
I was trying to do a factory reset on my S2, and I noticed it doesn't delete my other files (Music, Photos, Etc.) but it does reset my apps installed. Because I want to totally erase my files, I went to recovery mode and did a wipe, and I think I may have wiped the data, system, dalvic, etc on the process. And now my phone wont boot up. It is stuck at the Siyah logo (Because I flashed siyah on it before and it was a success). After this, I tried to flash siyah again into my device and its still stuck. I dont know what to do anymore, I also tried factory resetting using recovery mode. I have flashed other kernels but it still doesn't work. BTW I am using a jelly bean device

If I flash a new ROM, say the latest Snapdragon for S2 will the kernel be included in the package? I still cant pass the logo screen even though I have flashed different kernels

Thanks Sir Slim, I will try to flash the Snapdragon ROM as soon as after I finish downloading it. Because I believe I have cleared out the operating system and other important data on my device, that's why I need a new ROM.
Hi mate,
Do you run a stock ROM on your phone like you didnt flash any custom ROM on it....
Did you check if the SIYAH kernel you flashed on your device has STOCK ROM support, cause if the siya kernel you flashed has no support for stock rom it will just stay on the siyah logo the whole day until it drains out your battery.....
if you want to go to this website : http://dorimanx.shine.sk/ and dowload the v8.xxx those got stock rom support..... then do a wipe data factory reset....
if your phone booted up, and want to you wipe the phone completely, go to settings and do a factory reset there, your phone will prompt you if you want to wipe the memory card too.... put a check on it then follow the steps okay....

Thank you sir! You are right that I did not have a custom ROM when I installed the Siyah kernel. Maybe that's the reason I was stuck

Hi, all!
I have that annoying problem with all the 4.3 ROM I've tried with no exception. Everything is fine until the first reboot. Then it's stuck on the first Galaxy SIII boot logo. I'm using TWRP - the latest version if it matters.
I always wipe everything first.
Please give more details on how you flash it.

If you did all required wipes and followed the instructions did you try a different recovery? I read in the SB thread for example of people having issues with TWRP
Sent from my Nexus 7 (2013)
I am sorry for the wrong section. May I ask some to move it to Q&A?
I always wipe data, cash, dalvik cash, system. Then install the ROM and gapps...
After the restart I set up the google account and etc. And after the first restart the phone freezes. That's all.
I'll try with different recovery.
PS. I've just tried CWM recovery 6.0.3.3. and Omega AOSP v9. Still the same.
Try cwm 6.0.3.6 and after you install the rom and after its set up go to recovery and factory reset

That's strange, I run Philz recovery and every 4.3 flash till now went through without issue.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
I tried all the recoveries I could find. Including Philz. Still the same.
And something else strange. I installed CWM, CWM, touch and Philz and with them I made backups. After restoration of the backup the phone freezes. I also tried to install Omega 49 and the installation goes OK, but freezes before the first start-up.
The only solution was to install manually TWRP (Odin) to restore some of my old backups. I'm beginning to think that there is something wrong with my phone. It's black if it is important.
Suggest total wipe of phone install your stock rom and test
Hi,
I just want to say I'm also having the same problem.
Started using TWRP with full wipe, same issue on 4.3 and no issues on 4.2.
On latest CWM same problem and 4.2 wont even pass the first boot on Samsung logo.
Also had to use Odin to get back on TWRP and flash a 4.2 rom again.
Anyway there is one more thing I would like to try but haven't had the chance to do so, is installing the latest modem and ril. But I'm kind skeptic about that currently because there is also some risks and my S3 is my daily driver.
Don't change the ril on any custom as you stand a big chance of breaking the calls and Tex's. Modem yes but not ril. Do change to cwm and retry.

You are doing a full wipe?. System and data is the main thing to wipe not just factory reset. So go into mounts and storage and format data,system and cache there then flash the rom /gapps.

Start fresh and flash stock with Odin then try again after you root and install cwm.

But nothing helped. I flashed a stock ROM, with Odin. First I tried with TWRP, and the second time (again after flashing stock) with CWM recovery. I tried two 4.3 ROMs. They both can't boot after the first reboot.

1. Flash stock with odin
2. Hard reset
3. Boot up and finish first run menus
4. Flash twrp with odin
5. Format data with twrp
6. Flash 4.3 rom
