In some rare occasions my phone also gets stuck at the booting logo, but holding power down and restart the phone solves my problem.
Did you preform a clean install?

And what does the op say?
"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"
In stead of step 1 i would suggest:
Mounting /system, /data and /cache
Format /system, /data and /cache
Then proceed with step 2 etc...
Everything will be lost so make a back-up with titanium backup. (don't back-up/restore system apps)

okay.what you do is not enough . and as you mentioned , you need to reboot recovery(under advanced ) after you flash the compatible recovery .
I recommend ..
1) flash compatible recovery ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2546597 ) and reboot recovery
2)wipe data
3)wipe cache
4)wipe dalvik cache(in advanced )
5)go to mounts and storage and format system , data , cache
6) flash the rom and compatible gapps and leave the rom after flashing for like 10 minutes ( leave it in the recovery , untouched )
7) after you are back , reboot system and let the rom boot up .
8) after it boots up and you set it up ( like setting time , date , account ) leave the rom untouched again .. say for an overnight so that it gets the time to settle .. the next day .. start customizing and installing apps like you did .
P.S. : I would recommend not to flash a custom kernel as of yet as kernels are in beta stages as of now
All the best !

Phone will no longer boot remove battery then replace and boot to download mode .
Via Odin flash stock rom .

What kernel are you using? Go into Download mode as jje said and flash a stock firmware, then flash CF root then flash away with custom roms.

Flash a stock kernel+rom with odin , flash a cf-root then use clockwordmod recovery ( enter CWM manager in apps drawer and boot to CWM )
-wipe data
-wipe cache
-install zip from internal sdcard
-DO NOT REBOOT ( at least if you want CyanogenMod )
-install zip from internal sdcard (again , due to a bug)
-reboot
report back here when you try it

This is for the international I9100:
Data/factory reset,wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, format system, data and cache in mounts and storage. flash cm7 twice in a row without rebooting and flash google apps.Reboot and done
Enable usb-debugging first before flashing and backup you current rom and apps.
Maybe you have a I9100G, all the roms don't work.

How to update from v 1.0
this is my first post, so yeah im a noob, but just want to ask if i was on Resurrection ics v1.0, how could i update? do i just jump to the most recent update, or is there a certain update i have to flash first before moving on? ive tried to flash the v1.4 but then it would'nt boot, then i restored a backup, tried a couple times even from a fresh stock rom, but still it couldnt boot, what do you think the problem is?
sorry for all the questions
i was on resurrection now i dual boot 1.8 with siyah 3.1.2 with D4 rom( which is amazing btw) try 3.1.2 siyah and see if it works - im avoiding RC's and betas for kernel since the brickings, unless you want the features from rc5
@yugorisfriwan you don't need to install any update, go straight to the last version.
To install
1- full wipe & wipe cache
2- install rom
3- wipe dalvik
4- reboot (it takes time to boot the first time so be patient)
5- install another kernel (siyah of instance) otherwise you are done.
Now to my question
I have the version 1.8.1 and siyah kernel 3.2b8 everything works great except that I cannot access my external sdcard on my computer. I also tried the default and thoravukk kernels but they give the same result.
Thx in advance for your help

hey i am using this remix rom right from the ver 7.4 now on v1.8.1 what i sugesst u first is 2 install v1.7 then u upgrade it 2 the new v1.8.1 by simply flashing it over v1.7 without any wipes that way u wont have any issues in installation
PS: while installing 1.7 u do a full wipe
ie
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache part
wipe dalvik cache
then install v1.7
then again wipe cache
wipe dalvik cache
Fix permissions
reboot 2 system
boot takes a while?
So how long do i have to wait for the phone to actually boot after updating? So ive flashed the updates, but when i select reboot now, it then comes to the Galaxy s ii i19100 splash screen. Now i have waited for at least 5 minutes, and nothing happened yet, so just restored my backup in fear of something going wrong am i too inpatient or is that just taking to long? how many minutes do i actually have to wait until its a sure flash fail? thx in advance!
5 minutes is too long, are you sure that you have done a full wipe before installing the rom and then wiped the dalvik cache after. The only time when my phone wouldn't boot was when I had forgotten to do the wipes.
anyway just redo the process and make sure you do everything (don't flash any kernels) and just leave the phone for few more minutes than last time. otherwise try to install another version (1.7 for instance) and see if it boots this time
installation problem
hi ,guys
sorry to post here,but i am having a annoying problem during the installation .
As,i am trying to install it is showing a build prop problem and showing some step7 and displaying msg as installation aborted.I did full wipe,wiped cache did data reset,wiped dalvik everything i did but this problem still annoys me.

hey which rom ur trying 2 install if its v1.7 of remix then first flash the cm9 kernel dwnld'ng the same from OP (original post in page 1 of remix ics thread) section after that reboot 2 cm9 recovery and then flash 1.7 it will be ok
5 minutes are too long mate. before flashing make sure that the current rom you are on has default CM9 kernel (for version 1-1.8)
After that follow the steps:
1.wipe data/factory reset
2.wipe cache partition
3.install main rom
4.go in advance and wipe dalvik cache and then fix permissions
5.wipe cache partition again and reboot
6.after ur first reboot u can then flash kernels,themes,and mods
enjoy
So... if im still on resurrection version 1.0, would installing the stock cm9 kernel work? .... then i could update?
So any workarounds on accessing the external sd on the computer?!!?

This seems to be a bug with the rom. I got the same problem on 1.4 and on 1.8.1. It will only mount the internal mass storage.
To work around this: Mount it with CWM. Works for me.

what he is trying to say is that you should flash the kernel AFTER you flash your ROM
the ROM you chose is [CM10][Jellybro] i9100 Nightly Kangs, yes?
anyway..
here is what you should do
1. flash your rom
2. flash gapps for cm10
3. flash a kernel [an example of which is Dorimanx Kernel]
if you are still confused on some terms, please refer here
I hope this helps
EDIT:
you should root your phone first
You know, after flashing a new rom booting may take some more time, at least a few minutes. Have you been waiting enough time?
First, check md5sum of ROM [what Saywhatt wrote a few posts back]
a. If you are no longer in recovery modes then you can get a kernel [tar file] Flashing with Odin.
If your phone then starts normally, then flash the ROM you want through CWM.
*** wipe data / wipe cache / wipe Dalvik cache / format system in mounts and storage / flash ROM from sdcard***
b. If you can get into recovery mode, not flash with Odin, but do these same steps;
**** wipe data / wipe cache / wipe Dalvik cache / format system in mounts and storage / flash ROM from sdcard***
PS. If it fails in step a first flash stock ROM with Odin
sorry for my bad english

[Q] After flash Custom Rom the phone stay at Samsung Logo

I root my Phone With "CF-Auto-Root-m0-m0xx-gti9300"
I instal Recovery ( I try many recoverys CWM 5.xx 6.xx and TWRP ) All are working good
Everytime when I try to flash a custom rom with or without aroma all the proces are working good but when I rebot, the phone stay at samsung logo .(retry flash not help)
I can install just with Odin stock firmware.
In recovery i can instal diferent mods in stok firmware and that works good ,but when i try to instal a full rom ,custom rom ,after instal and rebut the phone stay at samsung logo
What i do wrong ? What can i do to be able to instal a custom rom ?
Please help
Go flash a full stock with closest android version to the custom u want to flash, then wipe data/factory reset, install cwm wipe data, cache and dalvik cache. Install custom rom then wipe cache and dalvik cache again. Reboot device and wait about 15 to 20 min. I takes some time for first boot. Gd luck
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
Use philz recovery version 5.15, use the wipe for new rom installation before you flash, also format internal sd if going to 4.3.

I do what you said but i don't wait 15 - 20 min . I wait about 5 -10 minutes and i removed the battery
Recap . I understand that I should wait 20 minutes with the phone showing samsung logo ? Nothing else . Isn't it ?

S2 boots once, then stalls

Hi guys,
I successfully followed the advice on this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/help/to-mod-s2-t3189884) and I have installed CM12.1 's nightly from 29/8.
I boot in once, no problem. But on the second boot the phone bricks. The only way I can get into the system again is to load Philz kernel again and reinstall. But after the second boot the phone bricks again.
Any ideas? It may be the nightly, but even updating to the latest (31/8) didn't fix this.
I can get the CM10.1 stable to work fine, but that drain my battery faster than I can charge it.
I'd like to use 12.1, though: am I just doing something wrong that causes the bricking?
thanks,

When you say I should flash the rom, do you mean I should unzip the stock and push it with Heimdall/Odin?

I mean before flashing any custom rom flash stock rom then flash that rom which u want.
1.download stock firmware flash it with odin
2.then flash philz kernel
3.Reboot to recovery
4.Wipe Cache Partition and Dalvik/ART Cache
5.Now click on Clean to Install New ROM
6.Install the rom
7.Reboot system
Don't forget to hit the thanks button
Excellent, thank you!
A few tips to anyone looking this up:
First, I used Heimdall - but apparently Odin is quite similar.
I had to unpack the stock rom and then individually flash the factoryfs and zimage files.
I then unpacked the Phils mod and flashed the zimage again.
That was all in download mode
After that I flashed CM12 in recovery mode.
