I ODIN'd back to stock from the Avatar Rom. I ran the update file twice to get into CWM recovery. I did the Factory Wipe, Wipe Data, & Wipe Dalvik Cache process. Loaded cm-10-20120823.1414-UNOFFICIAL-vibrantmtd which I had on my phone once before and when starting it said my IMEI was different. No biggie, went back to stock. Tested the phone, IMEI was back to normal.
I then did the update to root only, booted the phone, downloaded Titanium Backup Pro since I've been able to restore my IMEI before while using it, tried to use it and was told I wasn't rooted.
I then downloaded and renamed recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.2-vibrant to update.zip. I ran the update file twice to get into CWM recovery. I did the Factory Wipe, Wipe Data, & Wipe Dalvik Cache process. Loaded cm-10-20120823.1414-UNOFFICIAL-vibrantmtd again on my phone and when starting it said my IMEI was different.
Can someone tell me what is going wrong? Recovery also seems to be reverting back to stock recovery when I go into it.
Used SOC. Loaded RemICS, no IMEI change occured. FIXED!!!!!!
Could it be that I need to first install CM7 before the CM10? That wouldn't explain the phone reverting back to stock recovery though.

Had ICScrewed running for 4+ months and out of nowhere phone won't boot and is stuck in samsung bootloop.
I have searched and can't seem to get any solutions to work. I have done so much crap I am thoroughly confused as to what I have done and what I haven't tried yet.
Someone please send me in the right direction.
Right now last thing I flashed was "I777UCKH7 OCD Root No BL" oneclick.
Any ideas? I appreciate your help!!
Something changed to trigger the bootloop. If you can pinpoint some event that occured just before it, that might help determine a solution.
From what you say, you must now have stock UCKH7 installed. If you can boot into 3e recovery mode, try a wipe data/factory reset, and clearing anything that it will let you clear. Don't remember the stock recovery very well.
Or, if the bootloop will let you get into 3e recovery, you could flash a custom kernel back onto the phone, enter recovery and clear cache and dalvik cache, etc. Also, if you have a nandroid backup, from custom recovery you can restore the backup to get your phone to boot again.
If you need specialized files to flash to recover the phone, you will find them in the Download Repository, linked in my signature.

I didn't do anything I can think of that would trigger this. I can't get into 3e Recovery it says "Deleting Cryption Meta Data" and just reboots.
I flashed via odin "SGH-I777_ClockworkMod-Recovery_5.0.2.3.tar" That gets me into CWM Recovery... i wiped data/factory reset... cleared cache... doesn't help.
Then I tried SD card to load a custom ROM and everything on the external SD card is completely not what shows up when i have it in my computer.
I am so lost.

I just got a custom rom onto /sd with Droid Explorer and renamed it update and it installed but is still stuck in bootloop.
Any ideas? I need my phone for my business I am soo screwed!
Flashed SiyahKernel v2.6.14 and with stock rom it works. Thanks!
Be sure to make a nandroid backup once you have it configured the way you want. Restoring a nandroid backup is the first thing I would try if that type of problem ever happens again.
Hi guys.
I got a problem.
Got tired of lags, so i decided to wipe (data + dalvik) and reinstall Omega 27.1.
Now i can't boot up the phone - it just starts up CWM (6.0.1.2) when i reboot. Have tried to pull battery and when i insert it recovery just comes up.
What have i missed?
I have tried to install again, with and without wipes but still the same.
Can't restore nandroid either. Getting error on restoring /data, and just comes back to CWM again.
I'm kinda stuck.. ideas?
EDIT:
Just did a nandroid restore, error on restoring /data as always, but i rebooted and got into Android. I had to type in my google account information again, and all apps crashes all the time.
So I rebooted to recovery, and installed 27.1 (did a full wipe again), and now i can't get past recovery again.
Wtf?

If you can get into download mode, flash a stock rom samsung www.sammobile.com with ODIN, then get root permissions and cwm with ]cf-root 6.4

Yes, it seems to be the only thing to do..
But does anyone know what is causing this?
Can't be the boot.img, because restoring the boot (wipes+restores) doesn't work. And installing a new rom also adds a new boot.img.
hi. i tried to flash avatar on my rooted i9300 and i got into boot loop so i some how came out of that by flashing stock firmware via odin. but i could not get mobile network, so i tried to restore efs folder by EFS professional software. that is where again i got in to BOOT LOOP. (like never ending). since i had already experience this problem so i started with wiping data/ factory reset, wipe cache, use odin to flash stock firmware/checkrom/rescue rom. as far as i could read every possible thing, i tried to follow but all i am stuck with is a never ending boot loop which takes me up to asking Google account details then goes back to reboot and i9300 logo and same cycle.
one more thing i have removed sim card and sd card, but still in rebooting phase as i mentioned i can go up to Google account details. i can see network signal on top even if i have removed my sim card. Is there anyway out..
Wiping data factory reset does not wipe previous system rom only reset's it you need to wipe your system but make sure you install a rom soon has you have done it.I suggest installing philz recovery it as got a built in wipe before installing a rom feature.Follow this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1911726 look at Wiping & Flashing - Cleaner Flashing Method :good:
You can also use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1832326 but be very careful make sure you have a rom ready to install on your sd card
I rooted my device a few days ago in order to stop the 4.1 ota update, I am currently on 4.0.4 and the device is an xt912.
Today I decided to install safestrap and after installing the recovery and booting into it, I backed up the stock rom.
After backing it up, I clicked on reboot to system.
The device then jumped into a bootloop.
So I cleared cache, dalvik cache, and even factory reset but it won't pass the DROID eye.
So I created a new slot and restored my early backup and to my suprise, it booted up.
I then rebooted back to recovery and cleared system, data,cache and dalvik cache of stock slot and restored the same back up there and rebooted, and it booted up nicely. But after that the recovery kind of disappeared. So I installed safestrap apk again and rebooted to recovery to make sure it flashed.
I was able to boot into the recovery but as I tried to boot back into the rom, I got stuck in a boot loop again.
My problem is if I reinstall the recovery, the device gets stuck in a bootloop, unless I wipe everything and restore my backup.
Also when turn off the phone and connect it to wall charger, the battery sign doesn't show up again.
Can u guys help me out??
Doesn't matter if I loose my stuff.
I just want a working 4.0.4 with root and to be able to charge the device when it's off.
(BTW my version of safestrap is 3.3.0 I think. Its 3 point something.)
I need help ASAP.
Sent from my DROID RAZR using XDA Free mobile app
I've done everything: cleared all data, tried to restore backups, do a full charge, nothing's working.
I upgraded to 4.4.4 Liquidsmooth, but I decided to restore (with clockworkmod) back to 4.3.
I got the infamous MD5 Mismatch error, so I recreated the nandroid.md5 file, and I successfully booted back into 4.3.
Now 4.3 kept giving me errors so I turned it off and tried to restore BACK to a backup I had once I upgraded to 4.4.4, and nothing happened.
Now I'm in limbo: the phone crashes on the boot screen, and if i restore either the 4.3 or 4.4.4 backup, clockworkmod just crashes while restoring.
At this point I'd be fine with deleting EVERYTHING and starting with a fresh phone, but I don't even know how to do that...
Help would be MUCH appreciated, thanks.
Follow the guide in general forum sticky on how to wipe and flash a stick firmware with Odin. Make sure you factory reset after flashing.
