Hey,
I have since become a S3 ... I have rooted it and wanted to play another Rome.
First I flashed my Carbon ... that was wonderful, but I had no wifi. Then I tried another Rom (with aroma installer). When I had WiFi, but since I have the menu did not like it and it was me too many Samsung Apps.
Now I have flashed me the Resurrection Remix, but the S3 boots constantly new to the CWM.
The same I have with CM11.
What am I doing wrong please?

You need to install exactly like below don't miss any steps
-Installation-
1.- Wipe data / factory reset (mandatory if you coming from STOCK OR 4.2.X version or another ROM)
2.- Install the Main ROM
3- install gapps
4.- When you're back on recovery go to Advanced
5.- Wipe Dalvik Cache
6.- Fix Permissions
7.- Wipe Cache Partition
8.- Reboot
If it still not working flash TWRP recovery and use that to flash the rom
Hey,
I just did it. Then came the Samsung logo, phone restarts and I'm back in the CWM.
Have just flashed TWRP reboot (via CWM) Recovery and but still have CWM.
Grrrrrr ...... what for now
Better download official firmware from Sammobile and install thru Odin. Then Root and carry on with your favorite custom rom.
Yes I agree with KSKHH if problem still there return to stock with odin and start again..

Hey,
I have now taken me this firmware:
I9300XXUGML2_I9300DTMGML2_I9300BOUGMK3_HOME.tar
Odin started, specified in the PDA tar file, made my S3 in the download mode, USB cable ran ... it was detected and was also flashed. Now I sit for at least 10 minutes and nothing happens.
The Samsung logo always changes its color and the LED on the top left light blue.

Boot into recovery then factory reset..

exactly these thoughts I had just as well.
Meanwhile, I have written this text did something on the screen ... the phone goes again.

Now I'll try to flash CM11 ... hopefully it starts this time also

OK so it seems a lot of people are having issues with boot loops when they are messing around with things. First thing. Your phone is NOT bricked or broken.
It's just unable to start due to something missing or broken. Don't panic, there's no issue. I did this the day I got my phone, and there was nobody to "help" as such, so I just fixed it myself.
These are the steps to fix a boot loop. If you do this correctly, it WILL fix it. But you must do it EXACTLY to the letter.
So here we go...
1) Turn off your phone. Unplug it from your computer etc
2) Hold down home, power, and volume UP. This will enter recovery mode. If you are using CF-Root, you'll get CWM recovery. If not, you get stock recovery. It doesn't matter which appears.
3) Choose to wipe user data from the menu.
4) Turn off the phone by long-pressing the power button.
5) Prepare ODIN on your PC by using task manager to kill any KIES processes, then open ODIN.
6) Put your phone into download mode (home + power + volume down)
7) Plug your phone into the computer using the factory USB cable. The leftmost box should go yellow and an ID number will appear.
8) Flash a stock ROM from those available in ODIN format, and the phone will boot correctly.
Alternatively, it is possible to flash VillainROM 1.1 if you are not comfortable in wiping via recovery, or if you cannot do so for any reason (corrupted kernel etc), as it wipes all users data when installing. Simply ignore steps 2 to 4, and flash VillainROM 1.1 via ODIN instead of the stock ROM.
Any questions about boot loops? Ask them here rather than making new threads.

You're a great, I risked a heart attack!
noted with thx, I wish i had the correct instruction 3 days ago.
one more question, do we have to do one more step to flash the stock kernel after we flash the stock rom?
I plug the phone into the pc, but my drivers dont seem to be working it fails to be recognised. I tried with another Galaxy S II, and this phone does appear on the pc. Im thinking its because my phone isnt in download mode?
Any ideas?
Legend, thank god for this topic
Filed under "Need to have handy!"
You can also try just 1 2 3 & 4 and see if phone boots .
Its done just that for me as i try to clear a bootloop from a wipe to stock .
jje
I had it myself and i was pretty happy that i uses the backup function from recoverymode cwm.
I would really really recommend that u use this BEFORE doing any critical changes to your phone.
I have a Boot loop after doing a full reset, It was installed with lightning rom
Now Odin doesnt recognize my phone, thats bacause i'm on other computer now (havnt installed the drivers jet)... i tried installing kies 2.0, didnt help... any suggestions?
Edit: is there no manually way to install you phone on you computer with manual drivers or something.... it's bacause odin still doesnt recognize my phone
EDIT2: I fixed my problem, for everyone that had same issue: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=961956 => these drivers work
I have done all the instructions and flashed with a stock rom with odin but my phone still does the boot loop any suggestions?

If when connecting phone to your pc and your phone is ON then download the latest version of kies from samsung as this holds the drivers to connect to your computer properly.
If you are talking about when your phone is OFF and using ODIN then it should pick up your phone but you wont be able to flash until you are in download mode.
only other thing id add is try using a different usb port, one that is like a mainboard port not a hub.

Jep having same issues, not really an issue but i'm also stuck with the villain rom If i try to flash it with lighting rom i have boot loop
this all has started with a full factory reset, when I was on the lightning rom, the full factory reset caused my bootloop and ever sence the only rom that works on my phone is the villain rom
Exactly same happens to me
I have literom v1.0 I cant flash 1.1 or even flash stock rom without boot loops
Guys it seems there's an issue with some custom ROMs. VillainROM seems fine, as people can safely return to it.
If you cannot get a ROM to flash, then instead of flashing a custom ROM at the end of the process, ODIN a stock ROM after the wipe. That should fix the issue.
It appears some custom ROMs have a bug with wrong permissions, preventing the system from booting.

Yes, it appears lightning rom can't cope with a full wipe when it's running. VR is set up to work after the full wipe, provided you re-install it via ODIN

Hi all,
I've been having a few issues with my S2 (Randomly resetting, freezing, etc) - so I decided to do a factory reset - but it hasn't worked.
When I turn my phone on, it wont go past the galaxy logo. I've tried holding down VOLUME UP, POWER, and HOME - but it doesn't boot it into recovery mode.
I've downloaded odin (the phone is rooted) and was told to download a new ROM and then use the PDA button on odin. But the only file type it expects is MD5, tar and SMD. Whenever I download a ROM, I just get a ZIP?
I'm probably being stupid. Could someone point me in the right direction? I don't care if I lose data, I just want the phone working.

What ROM do you want to flash?
If it's a stock ROM, then extract the zip file and flash the contained tar/md5 file with Odin.
If it is a custom ROM and only provided as CWM-flashable zip file, then use a stock ROM to flash first and flash the custom ROM afterwards, when everything works again.
Here you can get the latest stock ROMs => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1544487, or pre-rooted stock ROMs from here => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1608071, or use Check Fus Downloader from here => http://fus.nanzen.se/ to check for the latest officiallly released firmware versions for your phone in your region and download it directly from Samsung servers.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. I don't care which ROM I use - As long as I get the phone working again. I did download 7comp ROM but I couldn't find any .tar files?
I also converted the ZIP to a TAR but odin isn't picking it up ?!
OK - I've downloaded and installed the latest stock ROM you posted.
It seems to have installed, but doesn't go past the splash screen which says samsung galaxy Sii
Any ideas?
[EDIT] - Phone fixed. I was able to load it into recovery mode and cleared cache. woo
Well done ...now try to go on recovery mode ...if should be able to go....do full wipe...then clear delvik cache...then advance- fix permission ..
Then reboot system ....you are done...
Don't forget to say thanks..

Attempted to root the phone but it didn't work.
I followed a set of instructions, and was asked to wait for the phone to reboot. It now has the "!" rooted icon but won't go past the rooted screen.
System restore and clearing cache doesn't set it back to factory default. Any ideas?

Sorry for late reply. I followed a video on youtube showing you how to root the phone. It looked succesfull as the "!" did appear, but it wouldn't go past that.
So I rolled it back using the original ROM and have given up on rooting it. It's a shame as I really liked Jelly Bean

Hi,
I tried to root (first time) my S3 using this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1703488
My S3 is the international version: GT-I9300.
I followed all the steps, except for one bit. In the prompts, I could not find the exact version of my S3. The guide said to use the closest one so I did. My build is JRO03C UBDLJ1 but I used number 9 (see guide photo 2). All went well until my phone won't reboot anymore. Odin and the root application says that everything is fine, except my S3 is stuck at the boot screen (Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 with black screen). I can still get into Download or Recovery modes. How do I fix this?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I'll try that tomorrow since it's already past midnight here where I live. Is there any way to turn the phone off? Cos it just keeps on rebooting up everytime I close it. Or is it okay if I just leave it on the boot screen. Will the battery run out?
simple take the battery out
in cwm
Delete cache,dalvik cache and it should boot! If it refuses flash stock and it will boot normally again!
I Think You Should Check This checkrom.com/threads/resurrection-odin-checkrom-evohd™-v4.896/
Please Report If It Worked
OK I managed to get this thing back working finally. What I did was flash it back to a stock ROM. I couldn't find my original version but close enough, except this version, 4.1.1 doesn't seem to be available (but thats not a big deal).
Now I'm too scared to try root it again lol...
And thanks for all the suggestions!!!

I remember it takes some time for everything to load first time,maybe 5 or 10 minutes,also I think it`s better to use cwm to flash custom roms! just use odin for root and stock roms!
just move the file on the sdcard and boot in cwm,let it do his thing and then wait a bit!

Hello,
well, i'm beginner in all the android custom stuff but yesterday, I wanted to try jelly bean on my galaxy tab 10.1 wifi version.
So I've installed a rom custom with this tuto androidauthority.com/galaxy-tab-10-1-wifi-p7510-paranoid-android-2-custom-rom-114133/
But i'm not satisfied with it and i want to go back on the previous version I had : official ICS.
So i've a question : are the firmware (download on sammobile for exemple) simply updates or complete ROM that we can install on our devices?
In both cases, i would like to find a way to get back an official rom...:crying:
Can you help me please?
First rule of Android modding. Always make a backup in recovery. If you had you could just boot to recovery and restore the backup. To answer your question the firmware downloads from sammobile are indeed fully stock roms. They are designed to be flashed with Odin (.tar.md5 files) flash them in Odin the same way you flashed a recovery, point to the .tar file with PDA slot in Odin.

Tanks for reply,
Actually, I did a backup before, like the tuto said, but when i want to restore, i've an error during the restauration of the data so it stop and don't restore.
And like you said, I've flashed the file from sammobile with Odin and the installation seems to work but when I reboot in normal mode, I'm stuck at the Samsung logo screen.
So do you know a way to reinstall proprely an official ICS ROM, even if I have to format my tablet?
thanks for help

After downgrading, it's a good idea to wipe data/factory reset from whatever recovery you have (stock or CWM). Factory reset may resolve this.
Note that the first boot after an installation is slow.. the logo screen stays around for several minutes if I remember right.

I waited like 10 minutes ^^ :silly:
I had an costume ROM installed, but at one point, while trying to change the recovery it bricked, and I just received errors like "Messenger has stopped" for every sing app (even system) and the screen all blacked, then I reinstalled the costume ROM again, but it got worse, cause I could only see a black screen, and had to remove the battery. So I decided to go back to the original recovery and installed the original, official ROM, and when I installed it appeared "Unfortunately System UI has stopped" every second, so I wiped the data in the original recovery mode and it worked, but now it appears the message: "Unauthorized actions have been detected" and it asks to restart my phone, that message is appeared all the time too. How do I get rid of it?
And the boot when i turn the device on is still the one from the ROM Note 7 style (white), how do I change that to?
If you still have TWRP installed you can try this method to change boot logo.
For the other problem try to use your last working backup, if it won't work - wipe everything and then flash original image throught Odin.

I guess, I will need to install TWRP again, and do that to change the boot logo;
I never had a backup, so should I wipe everything again (In TWRP?) And then install the original ROM throught Odin again?
To be sure wipe everything including internal storage - recovery and download mode will remain, everything else will be lost so make a backup of important files. Download latest firmware from Sammobile and flash it through Odin (search for SamFirm on xda to download faster). That should do the work.
