you are a newbie i guess. how did you flash a custom rom without knowing how to flash a custom recovery?
anyhow, enter the recovery mode(volume up+home+power). there you can see backup&restore option, go into it and back it up. hope you do everything right. read the stickies if you don't know what you are doing.

Ur file system is ext4 now and stock Roms require rfs file system ...
Just flash a stock rom first, then restore your backup
P.S. confirm that the stock rom or custom rom based on stock u flash has rfs file system
Edit: or try to do a "wipe cache partition " if this doesn't work follow the above steps
well i guess that can be the problem. xperiatized is based on ext4 partirion system. and i've tried wiping cache but didn't worked.
i guess i have to flash rom through odin then :-(

But why do u want stock rom again? ?
Have u heard of an awesome rom called CM7 ?
yes man....one can't be so silly not knowing about cm ;-)
and does it mean that i will not be able to restore my stock rom again as almost all roms are based on ext4 partition?
You got the wrong file format, reflash stock via odin then try restore. Wipe cache after that
if I help please hit thanks :beer:

You can olso try to flash with odin another basaband beside DDKQ8.Cheers!

Lol I was just recommending cm7 ....dude u flash a stock rom via Odin first then root your phone again ( yes root access will get wiped by flashing stock rom) then install cwm and restore your backup ( if it has some important data it doesn't make sense to take all this trouble otherwise )

after restoring your backup, restore BOOT from a cm7 rom
I'm having the same problem, if i do a factory reset from Clockwork recovery,it will give me stock rom? I don't really want to use my pc when i'm going to turn back to stock because of possible usb/connection problems..
Try using stocklite, its DDKQ8. I like that rom a lot. Good battery life, speed and no bugs as far as i know.
If you don't want to flash it with odin try flashing Stocklite v6 and then restoring the backup

Easiest way to root is to flash a rooted kernel, such as CF-Root kernel.
Here is the thread => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399&highlight=CF+Root
In Post #8 you will find CF-Root-SGS2_XW_NEE_LPG-v5.5-CWM5.zip which will work fine for your ROM.
Just download this kernel and flash it with Odin to your phone - as described in the first post.
If you want to remove the yellow triangle and reset the flash counter after flashing the CF-Root kernel, just use TriangleAway app from Chainfire (there is a link to it in the first post).
Good luck !

is it poosible to go to previous kernal after rooting?
also if you are planning to use other carrier make sure you have an unlock phone. If not, go to PLay Store and download Galaxy S2 unlock app.
You mean stock kernel? Yes, but only by flashing stock Samsung firmware.

That's not true. You can just flash the stock kernel without flashing the entire firmware.

Download a stock kernel, flash it in Odin. Not rocket surgery. You got your hand held on the first page & a half of this thread, time for you to do some reading/learning on your own; Stickies.

Custom ROM

Hello guys, i found the Android Revolution HD rom pretty awesome,it fits my style(stock, fast etc) but i don`t know how to flash it, i have Galaxy s3 i9300 International version Unbranded never locked on any carrier, firmware 4.1.2 i9300XXEMC2 stock kernel, my phone isn`t even rooted...i had a galaxy s1 and s2 before but im not so experienced with rooting the galaxy s3, in that ROM section how to install it tells me i need Custom Recovery, and now my questions are :
1. how i flash galaxy s3 i9300 ? i found chainfire method but i read that it doesn`t support custom recovery ... so what`s the method?
2. wich version i must flash ? what are the differences ? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1797334 the 25.0 or 35.5 version?
HEEEELP ! PLEASE
If you read both chainfires thread and the revolution thread properly then all is completely clear.....don't skim it....read them both PROPERLY ....if you can't be bothered to do this then the chances are you will brick your phone
I just read the revolution thread and found the answer within 1 minute
I know Chainfire thread is 100% clear
This site is not for this

you can flash via odin i think. otherwise, use cf method then flash philz in recovery
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
My routine is this (I use cf root)(old recovery included)
Flash cf root
Update to Phil's with either Odin or mobile Odin or through recovery

You used terminal emulator ??
Then as it says you require a service centre repair
<<Failing that, flash stock and send for repair.
Tried Terminal Emulator and Root Explorer a lot of times.
Gonna delete efs folder then do full wipe and flash ICS Stock Rom again.
I solve my problem using codes via PC and Terminal Emulator.
Thank you very much for your helps
