I think your system is formatted and there is no OS because of the aborted installtion. I had Status 7 error yesterday because my CWM recovery was outdated. Use latest TWRP from teamw.in and install any rom by copying them in yor sdcard. This should do it.

[Q] [HELP] How can i fix boot loop Problem after flashing a Custom Rom, I9300?

Hey Guys
I came from Stock Rom, rooted my device and flash recovery. And when i come to install any custom rom my device get into a boot loop.
Fortunately I got a back up and every time a try a different custom rom and i can go back to stock.
Well i have tried with the following roms
CM10
AOKP
Slim Roms
Paranoid
Everytime i have tried any of these roms i do carefully everty step. Just exactly like the tutorial says. I've been done this before, installing custom rom in other device, like nexus s, gs3, gs2. Im familiar with those stuffs.
And i don´t think it has to do with some corrupted file when i download the base.
I have tried to reflash recovery and nothing.
Tried to change kernel, i changed to siyah and nothing. After i install custom rom , the device just show the logo of the rom and ask select language and bam!, there is the boop loop
I don´t know what else to do.
I have read something about clear nand with odin , but i dont see those options.
If anyone knows what to do, please let me know.
Thnks
Aditional Info:
Baseband: GT-I9300XXELLA
Kernel: Stock
Root with Odin3 v3.04 - CF-Auto-Root-m0-m0du-gti9300t.tar
International Version
4.1.2
Recovery 6.0.3.1
I Flash the Recovery with Rom Manager V5.5.2.3

I have tried these option after i get the boop loop> wipe factory reset, wipe cache partition. And before install> wipes, fix permissions. But none of these options have help me.
Another suggestion?

That suggests a problem that is one of the following .
EXT SD card faulty
Custom rom download faulty
CWM recovery faulty.
user not following instructions .
Try flashing a Samsung Based custom rom .
jje
What do you mean boot loop is it actually restarting after boot and restating again ??
Yes. Exactly that's what i mean. It restart over and over again.
External sd card > i dont have one
Recovery > i tried with cwm and philz
Downloaded rom > i have tried download from the xda developer site and tried with different files, different roms
Im pretty sure i follow the instructions just the way it is

Hey jje, what is the purpose of flash a samsung based rom?
With this I understand that it will alow me to flash a custom rom after that, is that right?
Another question, how can i go back like all factory settings, i mean clear everything. I format internal sd, factory reset, do the wipes, fix permissions and once again try to install a custom rom but phone doesn't boot after show logo. Actually i install the same rom in another i9300 and everything's go fine, so the file is ok.

Samsung-based ROM is a custom ROM based on the stock one.

cwm doesnt start/stuck at loading screen after stock flashed

Hey guys,
yesterday i flashed the latest unofficial temasek rom, before that i had cm 10.2.
at first it worked fine, but afterwards i also flashed the latest gapps.
it lagged a bit so i did a reboot but then it stuck at loading screen. i mean it seemed like it boots but it didnt continue.
i tried to get in cwm and it took about 5 minutes to get there, it said cant mount data etc.
i wanted to flash the normal cm11 but there was an error and then it couldnt start anymore. no blue circle.
after several minutes i got in the cwm and tried to flash different roms, at first custom via cwm, then i tried to flash the stock via odin and
it said it was successfull, but it wasnt. it still stuck at loading but its not frozen, the animation works well.
i tried wipes and factory reset but it didnt help. the only thing that works well is download mode.
its a normal unbranded s3.
thanks for helping

ensure that you wiped all data, cache and factory reset
clean wipe..this step is often omitted during installation.

okay . first up stop panicking and all will be cool . i assume you can enter recovery mode ? switch your device off , remove the sd card and place a newer version of cwm recovery by a sd card reader ( http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/GalaxyS2/recovery/CWM-KitKatCompatible-i9100.zip ) . Also Place the rom ( the one you wish [since you want it be kitkat , i recommend you to flash cyanaosp ] ) after you are done copying both files on sd using a card reader , place the sd back and plug the battery in . boot into recovery mode and flash the cwm-kitkatcompatible recovery . after you have flashed it , reboot recovery ( under advanced ) and you'll be running cwm recovery v6.0.4.5 . Then wipe data , cache , dalvik cache ( under advanced ) and then flash the rom . reboot system and you'll be running cyanaosp .
here are a few important links : CyanAOSP : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2576407
P.S. : Report and feel free to ask anything and hope i helped ... do as i said and you'll be fine . All the best

Did you bkup you're efs? Hope so. Why are you on twrp when he helped you to get to cwm and a working phone? Flash siyah kernel v6.0b5 with Odin tar or in twrp zip. Then flash alliance rom. BTW Have you tried to mount efs in recovery?

To root the s2 and install cwm.. Because the kernel and recovery are together on the s2 you just flash a kernel on firmware like 4.1.2 . So if you flash say philz kernel on 4.1.2 firmware you get custom stock kernel and root and cwm all from the one zip.
Edit.. Sorry about the link. Get 4.1.2 from Sammobile.com.

Install PhilZ recovery choose option in menu Wipe Data/Factory Reset then choose Clean to install a new rom this will wipe/format the correct files for you to flash your rom. (Make sure you have your rom on the ext sd card ready to flash! This will format your system partition so don't reboot untill you have immediately flashed the rom after wiping)..
Thanks fir your reply
I already did exactly like u said but the same result bootloop
Is there any rom or kernil to fkash before flashing this romSmartDroid AOSP V45.0?

No.. nothing special to flash before installing.. Are you on latest PhilZ recovery?
Can you install other roms? ( To see if your phone will install other roms)
Have you tried factory resetting after flashing? (To clear any data issues that are causing a bootloop)
Have you tried downloading the rom again? ( could be a bad download)
Have you tried flashing the rom booting up the phone then flashing the gapps.
Also post the exact method that you are using to install..

did you use odin for flashing stock? flash stock firmware
Yes I did switched to stock Rom through Odin and the phone is working but software update downloads but when the time comes for installation it goes into bootmode and says installation aborted. Could you pls tell me that if I am using a custom Rom that is installed by philz recovery "install zip from ext card " then how to switch back to stock Rom using Odin.
