So i managed to solve the problem that i had.
When i said that i could flash only the stock one, i was flashing XXKI3 as one file after each failed attempt to flash a custom one.
So i tried and flashed another stock rom, again as 1 file. after the flash was done the phone again stucked at first screen wit the triangle.
After that i thought that something was really messed up in the phone and flashed again XXKI3 with PIT and multiple files and offcourse RE-Partition.
After that flash a stock rom with 1 file and modified bootloader from Intratech's thread, this way you can also reset the binary caunter with a jig (can find many on ebay).
After finish flashing and first boot
root with CF kernel and flash any custom rom. It worked as it should. Now i am on a custom rom and trying to see which one suits me best.
Thank Jiganet for some may be needed modified bootloader which is recommended so you can reset binary counter.
Everyone tha nk you for your suggestions and help.
any rom that i install is not getting beyond the bootlogo. i had xxki3 stock with cf-root xxki3 kernel.
every install i make full wipe on everything before(data, cache, dalvik).
any body any idea?
only stock rom working.
The first boot takes some time. Are you waiting that long?

1. Enter Clockworkmod recovery
1a. Do a Backup (not a must, but i suggest) from the cwm recovery of your current rom/settings.
2. Wipe Data/Cache Factory reset
3. Flash the new rom you want
4. Again (not needed but well..) Wipe Data/Cache Factory Reset
5. Wipe Cache
6. Advanced -> Wipe Dalvik Cache (this is why you get bootloops)
7. Reboot to system
Wait 4-5 minutes and you will have your new, shiny working rom.
Hope it helps, cheers
yes. more than 10 minutes.

Mh strange, the strange is.. with the stock rom is working.
Looks like your phone dosnt like the rom you are flashing so the quesion now is:
Are you sure, you are flashing a rom your phone can read? I know the i9100G and the AT&T versions cant be flashed with the standard (i9100) S2 roms (there is a specific thread i think here on xda for those versions)
mine is an unbranded i9100 from Greece. i am flashing the correct roms.

next time when u flash try formatting system.
In CWM >mounts and storage> format system
Please state detailed steps you did when flashing a ROM and what kind of ROM.. That will help alot on trouble shooting your problem.

every body read first post managed to solve this.
Hi was there a solution to this problem as I seem to get it with EVERY rom I try to install from zip?
Hi to all, this is my first Post and this is my First Android I come from an iPhone 2G, iPhone 3g, iPhone 3GS and my last phone was an iPhone 4!!! now I'm extremely happy with my new SGS2!!!
I have been searching a lot!!! for a solution for this flash loop issue,
1 - I have flash to a stock 2.3.5 KI3 samfirmware,
2- then I have Odin>PDA>cf-root-KI3-4.2.tar to root my phone.
3 - After that I downloaded 3 custom roms, DarkyROM2_KI3, VillainROM-3.0.0-signed and Cyanogen cm_galaxys2_full-112. put them on my root internal sdcard.
4 - booted to ClockworkMod Recovery menu.
5 - Wipe Data/Factory Reset
6 - Wipe Partition Cache.
7 - Install Zip from sdcard.
and every thing seems ok, but when i restart, it stays on the boot loop, even if i manage to enter to CWM Recovery menu it says that E: Can't Mount ... bla bla bla
I had been trying to put a custom rom so much that my binary counter is now on 10
I'm going to try what you wrote on the first post!
Restore to stock KI3 firmware using pit file and repartition.
after that install the cf-root kernel. Restart and try to install any custom firmware.
Hope it works
Not it did not work, Maybe the problem was Wipe Partition cache after installing new rom, going to stock and repeating
I'm having this exact same problem, please post here if you find an answer to your problem.
I first installed checkrom with no problems, then i decided to wipe and try install dlevrom but after rebooting i'm left with the same problem as above.
It's only when i flash stock 2.3.5 KI3 through odin with pit, repartition, all checked that my phone works.
I then repeat the steps of flashing cf root through odin and then try flash a custom rom, either checkrom or dlevrom and neither work.
Another try another fail!
I have no idea on what else can I do!!! tried again and nothing! I tied cf-root 4.1 and nothing and cf-root 4.2 and nothing!.
I'm having this exact same problem, please post here if you find an answer to your problem.

After i got the stuck on boot! I can restore to stock by only using the PDA, I don't need to set the pit file again!, but I'm usign all the files on Odin to see If that makes any difference but nothing!!!
I wonder how mariosraptor did it!!!! Can you throw us a light???
I have explained it on first post. Just follow step by step the first post directions.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Nope it didn't work
The steps I did:
1. Restore to stock using PIT, PDA, PHONE, CSC.
2. After it boots root the phone with cf root 4.1 for ki3
3. Use CWM Recovery to flash the new rom on internal sdcard.
I have been doing it with wipe data, wipe cache, wipe develk.
Nothing is there a step that im missing?
Thanks
SOLVED!!!!!! JAJAJA
The only problem, was one minor thing, a little thing called Bootloader!
I installed the old bootloader!
find it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
And after that every thing worked perfectly, no boot loops!!!!

Can anyone help me please ?
If I try to flash any ROM (Tried to install paranoindandroid, Ressurection Rom, Slim Rom) I get stucked in endless bootloop. From time to time the phone boots ROM, but only thing that happens is that I see "Enter your PIN code" for like 1-2 secs and then phone restarts and bootloop continues. Fortunately, I have Nandroid backup of my previous ROM which is old like hell (It´s RebelAOKP 1.3 ROM) so I can download other ROMs from xda. I tried full wipe, flashing other kernels, flashing ROM several times, fixing permissions and I don´t know, everything what is in CWM.
I´m so frustrated, whole day I´m searching for solution but I can´t find anything helpfull so I hope that someone will help me. Please be good to me I´m little bit noob but flashed lot of ROMs and this happens to me for first time. I will appreciate every response.

- Reboot recovery (under Advanced)
- wipe data/factory reset
- format /system (under mount and storage)

All should be fine now.
Note: this is not a standard flashing method. I only tried as much as possible to remove possibility of another round of bootloops.

Something must have gone wrong somewhere. This shouldn't happen, normally.
Restore your backup. Sorry about that.
Can you confirm if the MD5 sum of the zips corresponds with the ones provided by the Rom developers?

How to do a logcat
Ok so this is what i do.
. Download attachment and extract anywhere
.Open up Platform-tools folder and hold Shift+right click on an empty space within the folder.
.Click on "Open command window here"
.In the command window, type "adb logcat"
.Plug in device & turn it on
.It should do a logcat
leave it for about 1 min then disconnect device. Right click the logcat and select mark then highlight all and right click again. go to pastebin.com or something like that then paste it and save and give us the link.
hope this helps
I'm currently running CM10.1 nightlies, I quite fancy trying out a stock based ROM, can I just flash as usual using a ROM manager from the phone being turned on or will i need to flash back to stock first?

You don't need to flash a stock rom with Odin and your PC, just use CWM. Just follow the instructions on the page, i've pasted them below for your convenience.
***COMING FROM A DIFFERENT ROM A FULL WIPE IS RECOMMENDED***

MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP
Wipe data/factory reset in recovery
Wipe Cache & Davilk Cache
Flash Rom in CWM

You have to do a megawipe if coming back from 4.2 roms, as these roms change the folder structure of internal storage. Dont forget to backup everything in your internal storage or you will lose them.
Many others have faced problems later by not doing a megawipe.
lefttobleed - pardon my ignorance, can this be done within the ROM manager or is it worth going into recovery to do this? I don't have my phone for a couple of days so I can't currently check settings.
Thanks

you have to go into recovery and flash the megawipe aroma file. sorry i dont remember the link for the file. Search for it.
Please note that i am not familiar with rom manager so i dont know whether this can be done with rom manager. I always flash through recovery.
Edit: Please dont try this through rom manager... i feel something might go really wrong.
Hi, all!
I have that annoying problem with all the 4.3 ROM I've tried with no exception. Everything is fine until the first reboot. Then it's stuck on the first Galaxy SIII boot logo. I'm using TWRP - the latest version if it matters.
I always wipe everything first.
Please give more details on how you flash it.

If you did all required wipes and followed the instructions did you try a different recovery? I read in the SB thread for example of people having issues with TWRP
Sent from my Nexus 7 (2013)
I am sorry for the wrong section. May I ask some to move it to Q&A?
I always wipe data, cash, dalvik cash, system. Then install the ROM and gapps...
After the restart I set up the google account and etc. And after the first restart the phone freezes. That's all.
I'll try with different recovery.
PS. I've just tried CWM recovery 6.0.3.3. and Omega AOSP v9. Still the same.
Try cwm 6.0.3.6 and after you install the rom and after its set up go to recovery and factory reset

That's strange, I run Philz recovery and every 4.3 flash till now went through without issue.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
I tried all the recoveries I could find. Including Philz. Still the same.
And something else strange. I installed CWM, CWM, touch and Philz and with them I made backups. After restoration of the backup the phone freezes. I also tried to install Omega 49 and the installation goes OK, but freezes before the first start-up.
The only solution was to install manually TWRP (Odin) to restore some of my old backups. I'm beginning to think that there is something wrong with my phone. It's black if it is important.
Suggest total wipe of phone install your stock rom and test
Hi,
I just want to say I'm also having the same problem.
Started using TWRP with full wipe, same issue on 4.3 and no issues on 4.2.
On latest CWM same problem and 4.2 wont even pass the first boot on Samsung logo.
Also had to use Odin to get back on TWRP and flash a 4.2 rom again.
Anyway there is one more thing I would like to try but haven't had the chance to do so, is installing the latest modem and ril. But I'm kind skeptic about that currently because there is also some risks and my S3 is my daily driver.
Don't change the ril on any custom as you stand a big chance of breaking the calls and Tex's. Modem yes but not ril. Do change to cwm and retry.

You are doing a full wipe?. System and data is the main thing to wipe not just factory reset. So go into mounts and storage and format data,system and cache there then flash the rom /gapps.

Start fresh and flash stock with Odin then try again after you root and install cwm.

Tried to go stock and flashed a 4.3 rom again that fixed my problem. =)
Thanks! :good:
I'll try it too. And one stupid question. Where do I find a stock ROM? I never did it before

Thank you!
But nothing helped. I flashed a stock ROM, with Odin. First I tried with TWRP, and the second time (again after flashing stock) with CWM recovery. I tried two 4.3 ROMs. They both can't boot after the first reboot.

Hi, I think I did the following steps to get it working on my device.
1. Flash stock with odin
2. Hard reset
3. Boot up and finish first run menus
4. Flash twrp with odin
5. Format data with twrp
6. Flash 4.3 rom
So this is my first post, but whatever.
So it's safe to say I screwed up, I accidentally deleted my stock (rooted) Samsung OS. I somehow managed to download Paranoid Android 6.0.1 onto the Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 I received. I heavily dislike Paranoid Android, and I would like to give Cyanogen 14.1 a shot. The problem is since I wiped everything, every time I do a factory reset for my device, it goes into a bootloop, even if I flashed CM 14.1.
I have TWRP installed, if that helps, and all files (that I know of) are installed on my computer (Odin, CM14.1 ZIP, and Paranoid is backed up).
I'd like to thank everyone who even comes and reads this thread, and I'd be very grateful if I managed to get CM 14.1 on the Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300.
Which version of TWRP is installed? If you have 2.87, try 3.02. Are you performing a full system and data wipe before installing cm14.1?
Hi bro
I am agree with the first reply to you.
All You need the official CM14.1 ROM
Download here https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=i9300
And then download Gapps for android 7.1 pico
Download here http://opengapps.org/
If yoy havn't twrp recovery ! Download it from here
https://dl.twrp.me/i9300/
The file end with (tar) it flashing with Odin.
And the file end with (img) it is update from other version to new with Flashify app (you can find the app in playstore free)
Now You have all requirements files
Let's flashing Your device:
Move the files to Ext.sdcard
Make sure you have 80% battery charge
Then reboot your device to (recovery mode)
Turn off your device and Push (Power+home+volume up) keys at the same time for 5 sec untill u see the recovery icon
Now go to wipe your phone choose advance wipe check the dalvilk + cache + system + data + inernal storage ,, done
Now go back and choose install
Search to your Ext.sdcard then choose the CM14.1 at the same time click on Add more zips
And choose Gapps 7.1 pico

I'm using the latest TWRP, I made sure to install the latest one, and I'm performing a full data and system wipe before I install CM14.1. My question is does it HAVE to be on an external SD card, because I just port it over to a folder in my internal SD card.
It can be installed from the internal memory. Simplest way would be to boot into TWRP, mount storage, copy over CM and gapps, and flash.
Maybe try TWRP 2.87?

I've tried to do that multiple times, but everytime I try it, the S3 goes into a bootloop.
Due to the bootloop issue, I would flash a stock ROM with Odin, perform a factory wipe from stock recovery, and then see if the phone will boot properly.
Is the phone a gt-i9300 in download mode?

Yeah, I managed to install the stock OS. I also tried to install CM14.1 again, following the instructions to the letter, but still no CM build. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong, since I've read multiple threads on XDA and the CM site.
Not exactly sure what you mean by in download mode, since I'm new to all this rooting business.
You need download mode to flash a stock ROM; otherwise, Odin can't install a stock ROM.

Oh if that's the case, then yes. I put it in Odin mode to flash the stock ROM.
Okay, just to confirm but these are the major steps you took:
flashed the latest stock ROM to the phone;
flashed the latest tar version of TWRP using Odin;
booted into TWRP and copied CM14 to the internal memory or an SD card;
wipe data, system, and cache in TWRP;
flash CM14 in TWRP and rebooted.
Yup, those are the exact steps I took. I think I'm just going to tinker around with the Samsung a little longer, until I manage to brick it, or I'll just continue doing research. I'm already happy I managed to get out of a boot loop on my own, with and without OS.
Are you in Canada? Where did you get the i9300? The i747m is sold in Canada and the i747 is sold in the USA.

My dad got it for his work during his visit in Turkey, is that a factor during flashing of new OS's? What surprises me is that I could install Paranoid Android 6.0.1 onto it without an OS with little or no problem.
A pre-existing OS on the phone is not a requirement to flash a custom ROM.
As long as the ROM is for the i9300, you should be fine.

I made sure it was for the i9300. I'm confused to where it doesn't work because I would see the CM battery charging logo, but when I wanted it to boot, it kept bootlooping for 10 minutes on end. The longest I've let it run was whilst I was sleeping, 8 hours, still nothing.
Maybe try a different version of CM14.1 or a different version of TWRP.

I'll give those options a shot. I'll try out clockwork and see. I guess I'll keep going until I brick it. Thanks for aiding me, and enjoy having a happy new year.
