I can't flash any rom after flash I9300XXUFME7 (4.2.2) - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, there is the problem, I found this rom to flash in recovery, it works ok, but when I tried to change and flash another differents roms is some times I could not.
right now I tried to flash [4.1.2] I9300XXEMG6 and got the same problem, bootloop at samsung logo
before I tried the 4.2.2 version I had not problem changing rom, wipe dalvik as always and it worked fine, but not now
I read about the efs folder change and I think that may it cause the problem, but, XEMG6 have the same efs folder, or 4.2.2 version would not return to work after tried XEMG6, but, the mentioned dont work
how can be the problem?
thanks you

thanks for the reply
I think that it can be the solution, but Im not sure, before I tried this version I had never this problem, only wipe dalvik and it works fine, which makes me think that there is a posibility that it will not run
I dont like at all the idea of total wipe
there is nothing unusual, no? it should work making a wipe, no?
maybe I should try

your thread should have been pinned in this forum
because many people don't read general section.. they directly come to Q&A section whenever they have a problem . however i guess moderation policy don't allow it

I first asked for it to be put in general > sticky roll-up as I knew this was where it would ultimately end up. Mod 1 put it as a sticky in general first. Mod 2 moved it to top of Q&A and Mod 3 moved it to Sticky roll-up....
Or something like that
I actually campaigned to get general and Q&A merged, and many RC's were with me, although not enough.

you have to do a full wipe. i had the same problem when i tried to go back. i also got stuck on bootloop. after full wipe was my problem solved

thank you for the info schaduw1984
i have right now lot of issues
after wrote here, I left home and I noticed that I dont have network connection, flash again same rom but dont resolved anything, cant make even emergency calls, but if I go to networks and connections and I search for networks there appear, but, not connect, when try to call message appear that is not registered in network. (maybe because the efs folder changed?)
go to titanium backup for make the backups and saw that dont recognise the paid license (bought, and never happened this), restart phone, and finaly uninstall TB and when I tryed to reinstall its not possible, appear message that need space (have 2 gb free yet) tried with other apps and there is not any problem
none of this is allied
I will try search a flasheable TB from recovery and try this way to make backups, for make the full wipe

done, after few tries i got
factory reset worked
thanks to all

[Q] (Help needed)

Hi Gurus,
As I am not allowed to post in the original thread, thus I am asking my question here.
this is the actual thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1742493&page=8
I am using stock Samsung ICS firmware (DXLP9) beforehand, rooted using CF root. Yesterday I tried this rom and encountered some issues.
1) After flashing this ROM, i didn't do a wipe (i guess there is no need to as per the title)
2) I notice only applications installed on phone memory will appears on the desktop, I mean on the "Downloaded App" tab itself. Apps installed on SD card will not be shown. Why is this so? Did I miss out something?
3) the Music app will FC when selecting the "End" options to close this program
I have reverted back to my original settings.
Could someone help me? thanks
Even a noob who flashed multiple times would know, it is crying for a wipe.
Haha yes do a factory reset and try again.

i am really a noob cos I flashed only once. you know, it can be very confusing and 'life threatening' for noob like me as some ROM requires flashing of kernel while some don't need, I have been reading till i give up. then there is this bootloader thing. Frankly speaking i also don't know what's the version of bootloader my set is using.
So for all ROMs I installed, I will do a wipe (factory reset, wipe davik cache etc). Is that correct?
thanks
YES

[Q] ROMs do not work on Mobile Network

I have tried 3 ROMs.
One did not have a phone app and anyway did not register on the mobile network. The other two showed full bars on the network but said 'failed to register' even though 'registered on network' was reported when I connected to a network following a scan.
So I am assuming that there is no modem?? - though why a ROM should be produced without one I can't imagine.
I looked around for a modem to download. I can't find one. Further, virtually everywhere I look Odin is used to do installations. As I use Linux there is very little information to help me, I might be on the wrong track anyway.
So, my phone is non-operational atm :crying: Can anyone help please?

A bit of a learning curve to put back the stock ROM. The reason why I wanted a new ROM is because of all the trouble I've had since the last Samsung firmware update. Multivarious problems! Of course I should have done a back up but I have flashed ROMs on other phones before and been perfectly OK - oh well, lesson definitely learned!!
Anyway, should the worst come to the worst, which it probably will, and I need to get it fixed, do I send it back to Samsung or is there somewhere local that you know [you are located about 7 miles from me ]
It depends on the issue really. If the imei and serial are correct, no need to do anything.
Sending to samsung can be a long process so sometimes if your imei has gone, a mobile phone repair shop can fix for say £20. It shouldn't affect warranty.
Where are you?

Need Help

Hello.
I have a samsung galaxy s2 and its been working fine for more than a year. Few days ago, i did a factory reset and now when I power on my phone it stays on the Samsung logo. If i go in recovery, it says CWM-based Recovery v6.0.1.2-Siyah. and i have a lot of options. I did wipe data/factory reset and after that completes it powers on and goes in safe mode, i can do stuff for around 30 seconds and then it restarts and stuck on samsung logo again.
I tried flashing stock firmware but Odin does not detect my phone. i have tried on two different computers, they both have the drivers everything, tried on different ports, tried with different cables.
Please Help.

1) 'Please use a descriptive thread title'
2) Hopper8's 'Odin troubleshooting' thread stickied in General, find it, try as many of the things in that thread as many times as you need to in order to get a successful flash. If you try the stuff in the thread two or three times then come back to this thread & say 'I tried blah blah a few times & still the same', guess what ? Your phone will stay busted. Why ? Because perseverance always fixes these issues unless the phone isn't recoverable. You need to try everything in that thread over and over and over if necessary. There's nothing that isn't in that thread which can be suggested in these situations. Why ? That thread is the 'Bible'.
So...Go...You now have the tools to fix your phone.
i have already seen that thread and tried what it advised but to no avail.

Tried but did not work.
Same thing happens, goes into the system, and then restarts after 20-30 seconds and then stuck on samsung logo.
Well,if you can boot,quickly go to phone's settings,scroll down and tap "about phone".Write down android,firmware and kernel versions and post here.
That stuff is irrelevant. OP, you're clearly not doing some things here or not telling us exactly what you did to get the phone in that state (like most people who get into this situation). Service centre.
i said in my FIRST post that after i did a factory reset, when i restarted it got stuck on the samsung logo.
Anyone ?
Please.
Well,if your current rom is messed up and can't use ODIN,you may try flashing a stock based jb rom through recovery.Choose the one you like,follow the instructions and that's it.
Just a suggestion:angel:
Could you please link me to which one i should download. i do not want to mess my phone up even more.
im from uk.

Well,I cannot say which rom you SHOULD try as it's against the rules and is purely your choice.Although I used this one some time ago and really liked it

What's the point in telling people what the rules are when you go and break them in the next sentence ? Why not just tell people to go read some rom threads & try some roms ? Do you realise how much more likely it is that a n00b will break their phone at some point in the fairly near future when you spoonfeed them everything, which is exactly what you've been doing for the past few weeks, as opposed to pointing them in the right direction & telling them to learn for themselves ?

I don't get you mate.The man asked me to suggest a rom so I did.Honestly,it was the only stock jb based rom I ever tried as AOSP is my home.As much as I hate stock,I know that rom has little to no problems,so that OP won't come back here anytime soon.Which is good.Never wanted to break any rules,but because his phone was in unusable state,I pointed him to (IMHO) the right direction.Is this a bad HELP?
I know I did some things here and there that made some noobs lifes easier.So this means I should always reply by saying:
Hey,there's search button for that!DIY!Troubleshooting thread is not for these kind of questions.Get outta here!!
That's not how I understand HELP.
Anyway,thanks for your opinion,really respect that.

What to do when you are internally and externally corrupted??

Hi Everyone
One of the senior contributors on here has been helping me via pm but I don’t want to keep bothering him and it would probably help to open up this issue anyway.
In essence, I’ve been unable to flash a variety of ROMS suggested by my friend on my 5380i (CM7, Extremesis etc).
Although the ROMs themselves are fine (checked MD5 etc), they have been mainly failing with abort message status 7. I finally got the Extremesis to install properly but then the phone got stuck at the first Samsung Galaxy screen.
I’ve had no probs restoring to stock with Odin but then keep repeating the problem when I try to flash.
Throughout the recovery process I’ve noticed various error messages when trying to wipe data, format system etc. One is when attempting wipe data from CWM. I get E format _volume rfs format failed on /dev / Stl.11 and similar with wipe cache but Stl.10 instead.
I’ve done some research and understand that this could be due to a corrupted internal card. Can anyone confirm this with a possible solution for my model?
II also get another one when wiping the dalvik cache in CWM. It says "Unknown volume for path sd-ext" I guess that must be linked to external sd. I've reformatted this many times so don't know what else that could relate to.
Either way it seems that I am “corrupted” internally as well as externally.
I’d really be delighted to hear from anyone who ever got any ROM to work on this damn model.
Many thanks Simon
Flash multiformater and there select rfs and then clear data and cache and then mount system and flash extremiss rom or any stock based custom roms..if u want to flash cm roms then u have to also flash cm7 kernel and and make system to ext4 thru multiformater and then flash any cm7 rom

Tried Extremesis again but phone still freezes on Samsung Galaxy opening screen!!
This is what I did:
1. Used multiformatter to set RFS and clear data and cache.
2. Used CWM to wipe data/factory reset.
3. Used CWM to wipe cache.
4. Wipe dalvik cache.
5. Mount system.
6. Format data, system and cache.
7. Installed Extremesis from zip.
I haven't tried CM7 as that involves the extra steps of cm kernel and mutiformatter to set to ext 4.
During this process I did note two error messages. First when wiping dalvik cache-unknown volume for path sd-ext and then when booting into CWM-Can't mount cache /recovery /latest log
Really confused and frustrated now.

How about, use odin and flash stock rom. Use all 5 files (pit file, pda, modem, csc boot)
After restars phone into recovery. Format system, data and cache. Mount everything, flash rom(redownload it just incase).
Stop complaining, theyre are over 100 android forums which you can ask for help, and this phone is just under 4 years old, every single problem has been encountered from atleast one of us, so it is somewhere in this forum, so look harder. Nobody gives a sh*t about this phone anymore and rightfully so.

I'm sure nobody gives a sh***t, aside from my good lady wife, who kindly bought it for me. I know it's ancient history, but doyouknowot? it's still being sold in stores so has a certain currency, so to speak.
I know there are millions of android forums and I've spent the best part of two weeks combing thru them!!!!
I've also been liaising with my Indian friend who hasn't been able to assist, despite being more affable and articulate than you (not difficult!).
I don't really have a problem restoring with Odin. The errors and freezes occur when trying to install Extremesis and CM7, 9, 10,11...............
Having said that, there may be an issue as I'm only using PDA the version of Odin I've been using, and although that gets me back to stock it may contribute to the subsequent errors when trying to install the ROM. I'll try the multiple files when restoring to stock but not confident.
I think you need to go back to your comics son.

Fixing Rotation (Proximity Sensors) After Downgrading from Android O Dev Preview

Just tried a downgrade from the Android O Developer Preview (2), to 7.1.2 official Google images. Everything seemed to be going swimmingly, so I immediately rooted, and flashed Resurrection Remix 7.1.2.
What I did not count on was auto-rotation not working, and receiving no read on my proximity sensors at all. Thinking this was a ROM issue, I posted to the official ROM thread. Luckily, two users immediately responded telling me this was a known issue after downgrading from O, so I want to post it here in case anyone searches for it, hopefully the solution is easier to find.
Solution: Flash Official Google stock image of 7.1.2, check to see if rotation is working (it probably won't if yours wasn't previously). So now perform a Factory Reset (Settings->Backup & Reset->Factory Reset), some people have apparently needed to reset twice for the effect, but then your rotation/proximity should be fixed! Now you can return to doing whatever you wish with your 6P! Hopefully this will help anyone in need
Solution 2: After downgrading to the 7.x stock image, lock your bootloader. (Be sure to backup your internal!) Once you've locked it, boot up the device and unlock the bootloader again.
Solution 2.1: After you've locked the bootloader using Solution 2, boot up the device and perform a factory reset. Once that is done, boot up the device again before unlocking the bootloader again. Then continue on your Android journey!
Huge thanks to everyone sharing solutions and information on this thread!

If you use WugFresh's root tool, flashing the stock images + unroot will wipe sdcard, however there is a "No wipe mode", but I've never tried it so I couldn't say what it involves/how it works.
The factory data reset(s) will not wipe sdcard, though you probably know that already, just including it in case you don't
Any other questions I'd be happy to answer the best I can

Not sure what a Fabric Reset would do, but factory data reset just wipes Data, Dalvik and Cache, not the sdcard.
I guess you're f**** with me though since I can't imagine someone with you're knowledge and "thanks" doesn't know what a factory data reset is lol.
Anyway, Fabric Reset needs to be an option
I found another solution on the 5X forums. After downgrading to N you need to lock and then unlock your bootloader again (wipes internal storage obviously). Worked for me. Clean install by itself didn't do anything to help.

Hum... envy much?
I didn't ask what was a factory reset, I asked if it also wiped internal.
But I guess some people just enjoy being pathetic

For real man? First thing I did for you was answer that question, "The factory data reset(s) will not wipe sdcard" look back in the thread.
I certainly don't enjoy being pathetic, and wouldn't say I was. You typed "Fabric Reset" so I thought you were messing around since I answered you earlier.. I appologize for the confusion man, the factory reset (going through Settings-Backup & Reset-Factory Data Reset) wipes the Data, Dalvik, and Cache, your internal will be completely preserved during a factory reset. However, your apps and app data will be wiped sorry again if I came off ignorant I just misunderstood you :good:

Definitely weird, did you try the factory reset before that with no success? I was thinking that locking/unlocking the bootloader probably does something similar to a factory reset since it wipes the device.

Answering the question would be enough and I'd thank you, your thanks observation was just... useless and provocative.

I did factory reset more than once, but it didn't work
Worked for me. Thx.
Flashed latest factory image.
Relocked the BL
Booted up and performed a factory reset
Booted up again than back to the BL
Unlocked the BL
Added files
Flashed TWRP than flashed Rom of choice.
All good. Thx again!

I did answer the damn question, it was the first thing i did, but you decided to ignore it for some reason, and continue to ask the same question I had just answered, but with a typo, and a half sentence.
So my thanks observation was supposed to be a complement, I was trying to not insult your intelligence by either, answering a question I already answered, or answer a question you already knew. I was being sensitive.
Obviously us writing to each other completely lacks any form of human expression and tone, but try to actually read and understand before discrediting and insulting someone, especially while they're trying to help you.

Very interesting.. I'd love to find out how this works. Thanks for sharing your experience, but mostly I'm happy you were able to find a solution I will add the bootloader solution to the OP!
