Try downloading the ROM again.
After you flash the ROM try clearing cache partition and dalvik cache...

boot to recovery,wipe cache and factory reset.
EDIT:Hold "home+volume up+power" all at the same time until recovery menu appears.
reflash with odin some stock firmware if you don't want to wipe, if there is no problem with wiping, just go to recovery and do a factory reset...this has a strong chance of success.

dont bother wit finding of exact fw. for you, find something that is for your region....
Is it flash it by using odin?
apsolutley with odin, since I suppose that you don't have cwm packed rom on SD card, because in that case does not matter if you have cwm recovery or not..., dont know if you have done it before...bat after beginners fear, it is actually peace of cake...dont be afraid, just follow instructions to the letter...

After I flashed it, it turns to the CWM screen and install the Multi-csc..something like that..and it reboot..after it reboot..its still turns to CWM and install the multi-csc.
So what should I do now?
you have done something wrong, or taken wrong rom image, since after flashing with ODIN stock rom you WILL ENDUP with stock recovery! Dont know what you flashed, but it was not stock rom.
What rom you took exactly??
"GT-I9100_SIN_I9100DXKI2_I9100OLCKH1_I9100DXKI1"
I flash this..is this a boot loop or other problem?
Hey dude, thanks for helping me so much..
My phone is working now..but I have to download my things again..=(
Alright. Thanks!
no problem, been in that situation. check some custom roms when u have time....you'll be amazed what this device can do.
and in clockwork recovery you have backup and restore, setup phone just how you like it, make a CWM backup and you are always sure that rescue is there....don't need odin or PC for that.
Flash Supercore with odin as PDA or some other kernel that has CWM recovery
The problem occured again just now, its after i dpwnlpad some apps from market..and its still not completely remove the hanging problem..And my laptop died. LOL.
Anyone here?
May i sugest u reflash stock rom and return it to the store.
If u have random reboot after flashing stock rom there is obviouse something wrong with your device.
hi

Ok download mode it's good, flash stock GB ROM, than the wipe code, *2767*3855#
It should wipe now. After that flash the cfroot the newest one, don't have to be your version , when it reboots go to recovery, it will be new recovery now, 5. **
From there format system partition plus all other usual wipes.
Now go to download mode again and flash the stock GB or ICS ROM and wipe with code one last time. You should be fine now.

What isn't working? Did it flash successfully but not boot? Just do a factory reset. If it didn't flash completely, then you have to let us know what happened before it failed.

Ok, so typically when people say they flashed a rom, that means a custom version through a custom recovery. But you said earlier you tried to install through Odin. This is an important distinction. If you tried to flash a custom rom and it didn't work, then flashing the correct stock firmware through Odin will resolve. If you flashed through Odin and it gave you that warning, then you need to find the right one and re-try.

Yup what i tried to do is flash an arabic rom instead the Chinese stock one but if failed on the phone it said invalid at the end so if i flashed the Chinese stock one back from odin will it work or not
Yes, flashing the original firmware via Odin should get you working again.

will it work if i used samsung kies recovery
Possibly, but if the system had already been modified, I find Odin to be a more reliable fix.

Flash back to stock with Odin and don't forget to factory reset after flashing or you could even try flashing PhilZ recovery with odin boot into PhilZ after flashing and factory reset see if that works if not flash stock and start again.

Quite possible but have you tried all the options first like (1) flashing back to stock with Odin also if you have flashed back to stock with Odin did you factory reset after flashing? (2)rescue firmware (only use as last resort because it containes a pit file)

Hi tallman just got my SIII back from samsung service center, they said ther is an I C not working, but now justried to flash philz recover Odin failed to ans it says something non Pit file something like that.
If an IC isn't working then pay for the repair or buy a new phone, flashing won't fix a dead chip.

are you sure your new rom bootloader is higher than the old one?
Is your model no. correct?
i think you flashed wrong rom.
Find the correct rom for your device (if you don't remeber Old Build no., just find the latest rom)
flash to your device . (if it is Ok, you can go to recovery mode.)
In recovery mode , wipe & reset your cache, data.
Agree. Reflash the correct official ROM that includes the boot loader . .. If you can. My experience with latest official ROM has a Blind Download Mode (black screen) on the GT-i9200. Might be the same on the i9205.

So as the last resort go to download mode and reflash stock ROM. Be sure you flash your actual version of Android because you can not downgrade once you upgrade to 4.4.

Let's try, it costs nothing. The differences between regional versions of firmware are mainly in radio part - after flashing firmware from very different region unit should stand up normally, only then could be problem with data exchange or making calls. The rest should be normal.
It is hard to determine which version of firmware you have actually on your unit. Problem lays in bootloader - with upgrade to 4.4 the bootloader is changing to new one and there is no way back. So if you try to flash 4.2 after upgrade to 4.4 you can soft brick your phone.
IMHO safest way for you is to find and flash newest 4.4 firmware for your region. If there will be problems after flashing try to make factory reset from recovery. Best luck.
