hi guys i would appreciate help concerning my gt i9300..new android user n am not a pro yet but am following intructions over here and upgraded my phone from 4.1 to 4.3 via odin[as said in different threads]..works wonderful but later i noticed huge battery drain.i googled for the matter and i came to know that the issue was in the firmware itself..
i then downloaded another 4.3 [updated and latest].
now i cant update to the latest 4.3 iv just downloaded..my present kernel version is dated nov 29 and it remained wen i try flashing it to the latest???
did i skipped somthing??
what should i do??
i read lots of threads n still dnt kno wat to do.
please..........
Your description of what you've done is no help.
Download the latest firmware for your country from Sammobile.com, flash using odin then factory reset.
Follow the guide in general forum, sticky threads.

Are you just wanting stock 4.3 for your I9300 or are you wanting a custom rom for the I9300?
If its just stock then yes as @boomboomer says you need to download latest firmware via sammobile or alternative site (there is even a collection on xda i believe) and flash this via odin.
If you want to go the custom rom root however to get the most from your device then all you would need to do is to download the rom of your choice and put on your phone, from there get latest TWRP or CWM recovery (depending on your preference) flash this via odin (in pda), then boot into recovery and flash the rom as per the Dev's instructions
Hope you get your phone to the rom/firmware you want

Seems Like uve Followed the instructions correctly but the recovery you are using is outdated OR The .zip Rom file that u have downloaded is corrupted. Try The Following:
1) Enter CWM and flash this recovery, Its the latest Philz Touch Edition of CWM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/orig-development/i93xx-philz-touch-t2002953
As u said Phone isnt booting then u can place the zip file of philz externally in ur external sd and flash from there.
After u flash Philz touch REINSTALL the rom following the same steps as u did earlier or as some of the members suggested u and see what happens.
2) IF 1 Doesnt work den redownload the rom put it in ur SD and Reflash
I'm Sure one of the Above 2 has to work

Hello everybody,
First I'd like to thank to community for the hard work. I v read a countless amount of pages of this forum and I can't even imagine the time people spent helping on issues or writing tutorials.
So thank you if you re up to spend few minutes on my specific case (and sorry for the bad english).
Here is my device and the different version of kernel ...
1/ Rooting my device (tutorial in french translated from xda)
http://www.cnetfrance.fr/produits/guide-rooter-son-galaxy-s2-39763841.htm
S-Root version used: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125414
Everything went pretty well when I rooted the GS2. I got the Superuser app so i figure it's ok.
I just used a modified kernel found on xda who was corresponding the my base band version (just the PDA in Odin).
2/ Installing a new ROM (Cyanogenmod by Rom Manager)
I followed : http://www.redmondpie.com/install-cm7-on-galaxy-s2-using-rom-manager-how-to-tutorial/ and http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_II:_Full_Update_Guide (official guide) using Rom Manager premium.
When i tried to reboot in Recovery (manually or with Rom Manager), i can't find the "Install the zip" option, I have 4 available: "Update from the zip", the 2 wiping/delete options and the reboot.
So obviously if i try to wipe files, wipe the cache then to update with the zip I have the following Error:
E: failed to verify whole-file signature
Do you have any idea what went wrong in the process ?
Should i flash the phone withOdin and change my base band version to another one ?
For info, I did the Permission Fix option in Rom Manager too. Didnt help.
Thanks a lot.
U need clockworkmod instaled first..

You didn't install ClockworkMod Recovery.
Thanks for theses answers but I think I installed it with Rom Manager and i flashed it to the last version.

When i reboot in recovery mode here is the only options available (and it's the problem i pointed out) :

As we've already said, you haven't installed CWM Recovery. You see at the top of your second photo where it says "Android system recovery (3e)"? That's stock recovery.
you can't install CWM recovery thru ROM manager.
just flash the CF Root Kernel for KI4 thru ODIN , you will have CWM recovery.
Hmm I understand about the CWM version I'm booting with, but as you can see on the first capture, my kernel version is a modified one i got after using Odin (puting this Kernel : GT-I9100_XXKI4_insecure.tar from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1101671).
I got the root access by S2 Root.
Ok I think I installed only the Kernel and not CF Root available here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
I ll try to redo Odin and stuff and let you know if I'm still alive.
So it's not great right now. I have installed CF Root with Odin, so I had CWM on my phone (I could see the application). Then after reboot with CWM Recovery and installing Cyanogenmod, the phone doesnt want to start anymore.....
I tried to apply the insecure kernel again with Odin but still impossible to download. I'm stuck on the screen with the yellow sign and written Galaxy S2.
HALP !!
I just tried to put back the official firware version : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 and put it in my phone with Odin.
Ok, I dont have the yellow sign anywore but the phone is still stuck on the boot screen (where it's written Samsung GALAXY s II)...
What should I try ?
I'm still able to boot with CWM recovery but I didn't make any backup and nothing work.
Do you think the phone is dead ?
5 posts in a row?
So, just to clarify, you've tried to install CM7, which amongst other things tells you to do a nandroid backup, and also to flash twice in succession. Did you do either of these things? The instructions are there to be followed, don't just ignore them.
Ok my bad I didn't backup anything because I had no data to backup. This was maybe a bad move...
Anyway, I tried to flash it twice yes. Right now, i'm working with a modified Kernel (with CF Root), and booting in CWM Recovery. When I want to flash again by installing from the .zip I get a Satus 7 Error.
In CWM, every advanced options are apparently available but I dont know anything about them.
And just so you know, on my SD Card i have 1 update.zip and the update-cm-7.1.0-Galaxys2.... .zip from Cyanogen.

Flash a stock rom with Odin and then root your phone again. Start reading and follow procedures when you want to flash custom roms again .See Intratechs`s thread for a stock rom
Thanks for your reply.
I did it, it didn't work, I mean i could flash with Odin but the reboot doesn't work : the start screen appeared without the yellow sign, but it's stuck on it.

FYI, I installed Rom Manager yesterday, it way interact in a bad way with CWM Recovery.
For now i can mount USB by CWM Recovery but cannot do anything else.
If you have a method to clean completely the phone ? Maybe the bootloader is broken...

Whenever i install a custom rom my sgs2 bootloops, it runs fine on the ones i flash with odin, but when i try to flash a custom rom it bootloops the i9100 screen and i can't even get into recovery, only download mode...
Name a ROM that's not flashing for you and list your install procedure.
Which other ROMs have you tried to install? What recovery do you currently have?
latest clockworkmod recovery...i reboot into it i wipe data and dalvick, then i install the rom and reboot(i am not a newbie) i have tried with cyanogenmod 7 and 9 , and some custom roms here in the forums...MIUI also...

CM7 (and CM7 based ROMs) has to be flashed twice from recovery, and often won't flash from a CF Root kernel; instructions in the Nightly thread, post 1.
I had no issue flashing CM9 but I came to it from CM7 so I had CWMR 5.0.2.7 already. I'm unsure if people flashing from a CF Root kernel have issue moving to CM9 directly or not.
i am on latest recovery i told you and i tried with other roms 2

What's your latest recovery? I have 5.5....
Did you flash twice from recovery like I asked? Did you flash from a cf root kernel?
Since you're not giving useful info I'll unsubscribe from this thread now.
Miui = cm7 based
Sent from a Phone
sorry, i am on cwm recovery 5.0.2.7
And did you flash cm7 TWICE from recovery? It won't install otherwise.
Sent from a Phone
yes i flashed it twice, also when i chose the zip it finishes installing in like 2-3 seconds, from what i know a rom takes about 30 seconds to install at least, and then it bootloopes from the samsung galaxy s i9100 screen with the yellow triangle and it keeps restarting and i can't even get into recovery after that, i have to flash cf-root kernel again in recovery then i install simple and clean 2.4(only rom that works besides stock) and i do it all again:|...also when i try to install cm7 with rom manager, when it reboots to install the rom it boots into the stoock recovery and gives me an error, does the battery level count?
Downgrade CWM to an older version.
Flash cfroot KK5 or something like that via Odin and see if that makes a difference.
Also intratech has the old bootloader in his thread to flash via Odin. Might help also.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
ok thank you i will report back
Have same problem after flashing KP8 rom... I believe it installed new bootloaders and it won't flash the older ones again.
Went through about 5 or 6 stock roms, some booted but had problems with google and the phone apks . Reloaded kp8 and it works perfectly... Don't have time to play around, working.... Something to do later...
CyanogenMod7
To start off a clean slate :
1. Flash XWKK5 ( Frankenstein build ) from intratech's thread via Odin
2. Flash CF-Root for XWKK5
3. Boot into CWM
4. Wipe data
5. Wipe cache
6. Advanced -> Wipe dalvik cache
7. Install zip from sdcard -> CyanogenModxxx.zip (xxx=version)
8. AGAIN Install zip from sdcard -> CyanogenModxxx.zip
9. Reboot phone
10. If your still getting a bootloop but your keys are backlit , turn off phone , remove and reinsert battery, turn it on
CyanogenMod9
You need to flash the new bootloader too ( read instructions on the CM9 thread)
MIUI
Same as CM7 , except you don't need to flash it twice
Hope i helped
EDIT : Going back from CM9 -> You CANT flash CM7 , you have to flash stock first then CM7 , also you need the old bootloader

How is your data and/or internet connection? Have you checked the md5 sums of any of the cm7 DL's?

If u have searched u must have find the answer.
Whenever you are flashing any Samsung custom rom and stuck on boot screen, just flash any CFROOT kernel via odin it will boot.
and for CM7 & MIUI just flash Siyah 2.1 or Speedmod 13...it should boot.
This problem was faced by me and I did found the above solutions.

Not true, Mine goes into boot loop constantly... If it does boot then I get error about google and phone apks and can't get past the "touch the android" page....
I believe their is a minority of sgsII's tha have this problem, might be something to do with the new bootloaders not being completely wiped but it doesn't matter how many times I install a stock rom I get problems... And yes, I always flash the cfroot kernels after... Doesn't help....
Hi.
Having come from the HTC HD2,I am a complete noob when it comes to galaxy s2 and flashing Roms etc;
I know I had problems.....until I discovered that unlike the HD2,placing a rom on the sd card means placing it into the internal memory of the phone and not the sd card you have inserted.
Hope this helps!

Do you have the CWM app on your programs?
if yes,
Download cwm version of the kernel that you want to flash
open the zip file and extract zImage file, copy it into sdcard.
Run CWM app, select flash kernel, choose the zImage you just copied.
if no, you have to flash the kernel using ODIN. There is a very detailed thread for how to use ODIN.
The link above is to flash with ODIN. Just follow instructions.
EDIT: Sorry i thought ur phone wouldn't boot. I've read fast.

i just got an official xx UK firmware flashed it with odin it booted.
do i now then flash the stock kernal to match the firmware ive just installed?
if so thts just the tar file flash with odin ok correct?
i mean i can install cwm again and flash custom firmware and it should all work?
Download the CF root file that matchs the kernel version (Check Chainfire thread)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
the instructions just say flash the kernal stock tar file without partition and thats it nothing else whats cf root?
U flash with Odin dude. The CF-root will contain a custom version of CWM. Once You have cwm then flash your custom ROM.
Check post #1 of the link

What cwm and bootloader do you have installed?? you need the 6.1..... cwm and the ICS bootloader from http://droidbasement.com/db-blog/
And yes you can go back to stock ics by using odin, wipe data/cashe/dalvik and then flash the cwm in odin, the bootloader in odin, kernel isn't needed because it's a build-in kernel and then the ROM
Thanks 4 ur reply sir...i used CWM 5.8. and i didnt installed bootloader.sry i dont know sme technical terms.i updated official ics from samsung .and rooted by odin.

samsung galaxy s3 i9300. Rooted with cyanogenmod Installer: http://beta.download.cyanogenmod.org/install
A while ago I tried flashing a costum rom, however i wasnt fully satistied so went back to cyanogenmod. My SDcard space went from 11gb to 2gb left. I went to recovery (CWM Touch) and formatted system and sdcard (which was a huge mistake I believe). As far as I know, I have no rom installed right now after the format. Ive downloaded MIUI and put it on my external SD and tried flashing it from my external SD. After wiping dalvik, cache and factory reset flashing went well. When I press reboot device CWM says "root access is missing, root device?" Now there are 2 options: "no" and "yes root device (/system/xbin/su)". Both options result in my phone stuck at the boot animation.
I thought because I had no root, I had to flash a stock rom. So I downloaded a stock rom and tried flashing it. CWM said "installation aborted". So right now Im kind of clueless. Can anyone help me and tell me what to do? Ive been searchin this forum for quite a long time now. Any help would be appreciated.
Kind regards

Which stock rom you installed??
And are you able to flash that miui rom you talking about now??
If it asks fit root just click no.. That's a problem I guess with the recovery not detecting root but you still have it.. just not into your rom by clicking no... then if you don't have root you can flash a supersu file through recovery..

Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Yes, unless it is a repackaged stock rom you must use odin, not CWM to flash it. You could try using archie's rom or one of Wanam's in CWM. Or download a repacked stock that is flashable in CWM.

Yes the MIUI rom has been flashed "succesfully". Only thing is when I reboot my phone, it gets stuck at this screen:

Ehm im not familiar with Odin. I used Cyanogenmod Installer to install CM. From then I installed CWM and flashed other Roms
Good news guys, I flashed CM and boot went well. Thanks for your time and help. Thread can be closed
