Hi everyone,
Device: Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300
Custom ROM: Omega v31 - XDLJ4
Kernel: 3.0.31-Phenomenal4.0Medium
Android version: 4.1.1
I rooted my device using CF-AutoRoot following the instructions in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957273
I then purchased Mobile ODIN v3.50, and I've tried flashing two ROMs, Omega v31, and Criskelo ROM v18 using that.
In both situations, the flashing works, but when Mobile ODIN boots into recovery mode to flash the ROMs, my phone's screen just keeps blinking. It looks like the recovery mode screen is overlayed with the ROM installer screen, and they just keep pulsing like a strobe light.
Does anyone have any ideas what's wrong? Like I said, the ROMs were flashed successfully, but I don't think the pulsing is a good sign.
Thanks in advance!
i have a galaxy s2 i9100p all rooted and stuff. i saw jellybam came out and i wanted to try it even if it wasnt for i9100p (big mistake)!! flashed it from clockworkmod recovery and i selected no kernel just install jellybam. the phone bricked, wouldnt turn on just stucked on welcome screen GALAXY SII. anyway i flashed my phone from odin with a stock firmware, it turned on and i did a restore to my previous version with rom manager and everything worked fine. but my stupid curiosity wouldnt let me so i tried jellybam again but this time i chose the siyah kernel. now i tried everything from flashing with odin the same stock firmware, repartition, to restore the backup with cwm.zip from recovery but everything is useless. my phone wont turn on!! when i restore from cwm it gets stuck at restoring data. my galaxy is i9100PXXLPF. PLEASE HELP!!
Can anyone help me? I tried to install Dorimanx 7.26 and it just hung on the boot screen so I reverted back to 7.15.1 and now it also hangs and it even hangs on the boot screen with CF ROOT kernels!? Can anybody help me bring this phone back to life? It is on H3H 4.0.4 firmware.
Thanks
What ROM did you use before flashing the kernel. Have you tried reflashing your phone ?
I encountered the same problem before. I tried flashing dorimanx kernel to a ROM of which didn't support the kernel . Therefore, the phone could not boot up.

I wanted to install a Custom ROM on my s2, but ended up changing the Kernel. Once I changed the Kernel, My phone showed only the Booting screen. (It reads: Samsung Galaxy SII; GT-I9100). To change this, I accidently started installing a ROM for GT-I9100G. ODIN got stuck and remained stuck for a long time. I removed the plug. Now my phone boots only to the Downloading section. I can't even access the Restoring section. I tried to flash my original ROM through ODIN. ODIN stops responding. What should I do??

Try to install a safe kernel like siyah with odin. Download an ICS based custom rom. Reboot to recovery..wipe data/cache and install the rom

just flash the correct one from download mode
If you can access Download mode, you aren't bricked.
As said by others, use download mode to flash a kernel such as Siyah or Chainfire's kernel (CF-Kernel). Start with Kernel, if everything works take a few days break, read Carefully about any ROM that wakes your interest. Be sure to have the PDA and have unchecked re-partition and you're good to go.
Also check if the yellow box appears or not. If not, install KIES, and then flash kernel.

Hello all, I recently had a problem with my Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-I9100, I installed CM11 on it, but It had some bugs, and I bought Galaxy Alpha, so I wanted to give it to my mother, but since she is used to TouchWiz phones, I installed 4.1.2 JB ROM, but device is stuck on boot loop because flash failed? I want to get into recovery, but I have a bit of problem..... , I dropped my phone 4 weeks before this happened, and I replaced shattered screen, but unfortunately I lost power button, and that metal plate is destroyed by pencil I used to lock the device, now I can't boot into recovery, tired combo with download mode reset and vol up + home button, nothing, just samsung logo and boot loop continues, so I tried with adb, but devices recovery is not supported, because I flashed CMR 6.0.5 (that is newest version for GT-I9100) but black screen on boot appeared, so I finally flashed stock rom for the last time 5 hrs ago and nothing, evrything is stock and chache memory also dalvik chache is not deleted, so how can I delete that so I can finally turn device on and set it up? Im not pro\ with Android, just enthusiast so I am mad on myself for doing that, I do not want to waste working device, just how can I delete chache, or can I even fix the phone??

You will have to flash a kernel or recovery that is compatible with stock 4.1.2. Use apolo kernel 4.15 or dorimanx 8.44 v004 and see if it boots up. Look at my create kernel tar from zip guide for pre-made odin kernels.
