Make sure when flashing roms its for your s2 variant ie i9100/g/p. If I was you go to samfilmware and download the stock rom for your phone via odin.

ROM that i'm using

Did you wipe all data/cache/dalvik just before flashing the stock rom? if not that can cause a bootloop.

Yes i did

The mobie survived
I did the data and cache wipe after instaling ROM, and the device its now running.
So if is there a warnig please tel me.

a lot of the developers of the roms on here recommend that if you have a problem with boot issues then reflash the rom without wiping anything (dirty flash)

[Q] galaxy player 5 international soft bricked

I recently got a galaxy player 5 international with froyo. I rooted it with no problems, but when I tried to flash a kernel with cwm recovery it would get stuck in a boot loop unless i went into the cwm recovery mode. I noticed that the kernel I used, rumirand's r14, was based off of GB and thought that might be my problem. I tried updating my firmware to GB using WT Ho's custom rom, and now it just hangs on the samsung logo, but I can still get into cwm. I made sure to wipe both caches and wipe data before installing the rom. Is this fixable or have I turned it into an expensive paperweight?
Did you try a factory reset?
I am not expert but i tried the same with R14 kernel and bricked but done the same with R13 and it worked .

Now or before installing the rom? I did a factory reset before installing, but I haven't done one since.

I just flashed the R13 kernel, but I'm still in the same situation.
Instead of flashing a new kernel there should be factory reset option on the first set you have or in "mounts and storage"
I had this problem once and I managed to solve it flashing a full rom (like 2.3.5 rooted and with rj kernel). It seems some users are having problems when flashing only the kernel. After you solve the problem, flash back group rom.
I just tried the rom+kernel. It said it was successful but it must not have been because it was hanging on boot again, and now it won't respond to the power button. If I plug it in to the computer it gets an image of a battery turns off and repeats.

Can you go back to CWM after flashing rom+kernel? If yes, usually it is a matter of wiping the data and Dalvik cache. Which ROM+Kernel did you flashed?

No, I'm not able to get a response from the power button.

Desperately need help with my S3 PLEASE

I am unable to get my phone to boot up. I was running resurrection remix fine with no problems, but decided to change ROMS. I did a full wipe and flashed Criskelo ROM through CWM, all looked well, but my phone wouldn't boot. I get the samsung sound and then my phone gets stuck on the Samsung screen. I restored my backup of resurrection remix, but again, my phone wouldn't fully boot. I then decided to flash the original firmware through Odin, which went well also, and passed. But again, my phone wont boot. I know i am using the correct firmware as i have used this firmware before. My phone will charge with no problems, but i cannot get past the Samsung screen. Can anyone help???

[Q] I need your help please

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 you've formatted system as you say you will need to flash a rom, I'm running the latest neatrom lite, I'm confused by your post its 4am here

Hello sir, sorry if I disturbed your sleep XD no I did not flash a ROM. I just flashed a kernel using ODIN. Should I flash a ROM?
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

A problem with all JB 4.3 ROM I've tried

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.

Thanks for the info, I was planning to read more about it before I would make an attempt. BTW already tried CWM that only made things worse, couldn't flash any rom without getting stuck on samsung screen.

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.

Thank you!
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.
