Can you boot to recovery?
If yes, then flash the stock ROM again from your previous backup.
If you cannot boot to recovery, then you may need to flash the recovery again.
Generally all phones support a download mode. I don't know about yours. But the procedure is to keep the image file on the root folder of the sd card which has a specific name. The phone looks for it and automatically flashes it. If there is no sdcard support then you do this by connecting your phone via USB & another software (such as ODIN in Samsung).

I can boot to recovery, but flashing or doing a factory reset will result in data loss... which I am not very keen because there are few imp data in my mobile..
Remove SIM.
Reboot.
If Rom boots successfully, power off and replace Sim. Then Rom will boot successfully. It is only the initial boot that is problematic.
It is a known problem with ICS Roms and I have faced this issue couple of times.

Out of ideas now.
Other than restoring from backup, I don't know any other way.
If you have a backup, it would be worth trying a reset to see if you can get to boot. You can retore individual data later.
If your device was configured to back up your apps and settings to your google account, then your data will be automatically synchronized and you won't lose anything.
It seems like a failed flash of the Rom to me.

this is not because of failed flash of rom.. because i flashed rom 6 months back..
something got screwed up when i tried starting the mobile when battery was completely drained..
anyways thanks for your efforts
Try a different battery if possible.

Moreover, I have partitioned my sd card and made 1 GB of it as internal memory...
now all those partitions will be lost... Damn f**** you android
Remove sd card and try to reboot. Maybe the sd card is corrupt and nnot mounting.

I suppose this is a filesystem problem, have you ever mess with it? (Rfs, ext4 and such)

OK Just flashed via Odin, and cleared cache and data and working. Thanx everybody.
But CWM really let me down. I didn't mess with any system files or like that.
Were You trying to flash new rom?
No, I just got a new Class 10 sd card, so I thougt to put it in after a factory reset so that things may get faster.
I had the same issue with my phone after installing Cyanogenmod well not exactly after but once I attempted to boot back to my phone decided to ignore any rom backup. I had to reinstall Gingerbread on my phone again and then using odin once I figured this out it only took me 10 minutes to get back on my mobile then I just recovered my default ROM using clockwork. Hope this helped.

thanks for the reply I tried that but it didn't work, I retried the bootloop sticky both for gingerbread and ICS but that didn't work either, I can boot into download and recovery mode.
I can flash CWM and I have retried to flash checkrom v6 from sd card but just stays on S boot screen.
Could the ICS update from Samsung have caused the problems I am having? I have previously flashed a number of different ROM's via odin and CWM with no problem at all

Hard to believe, when you format data, system, cache. It's a clean slate..... You should not be boot looping anymore..... Do again, flash stock GB ROM after that.... Wait 3 to 5 minutes. Takes time on first boot.

Oh after wiping and formatting system, you should be doing Odin only stock flash.

Ok so I have my phone back from the shop who could not fix it either, it booted but when trying to use phone etc it just hangs, so I flashed cf-root formatted system, cleared cache, and user data then re flashed stock rom XEU_I9100XWKI4_I9100XEUKH2_I9100XXKI1
bootloop removed battery restarted bootloop
I am now dl I9100XXLPQ_I9100H3GLP2_H3G see if that works I might have to send it off to Samsung see if they can fix it I will have to pay as warranty will be void :-(
Ok so after numerous attempts at flashing I now have a partially working phone using GT-I9100_XEU_I9100XWKI4_I9100XEUKH2_I9100XXKI1.tar.md5 I say partial because everything is working except when I recive a call I cannot hear the person and they cannot hear me? and I get com.android.phone is not responding options to wait or close
wifi, googlestore, send sms, updates, keyboard all works perfectly
any idea what's causing this driving me nuts now
hi there i have had my device rooted for awhile now and all of the sudden it just started to get stuck in a bootloop, just displaying the "samsung galaxy s III GT-I9300T" screen then goes black and repeats
i have a sgs3 GT-I9300T (from telstra, australia if it matters)
i rooted with "CF-Auto-Root" which worked fine and was working fine for atleast a month
i dont have a backup (yes im a noob/idiot for not creating a backup but didnt think there was any reason to)
i have tried flashing the latest firmware from sammobile using odin (with only auto reboot and F. reset time checked)
i can still access recovery (factory or custom from flashing in odin)
i've already tried a few suggestions from some posts on here but alot of them arent for the international/I9300T version so wasnt game enough to try them out in fear of fully bricking it
if anyone can help out with what i should try that would be great
i would even settle for resetting flash counter and system status back to 0/offical so that i can try and return it
current state is:
Custom binary download: Yes (3 counts)
Current binary: Samsung Official
System status: Custom

yes and even installed CWM recovery to clear the "dalvik cache"
Here is thought
Pull out sdcard, better format in FAT32, copy few ROM into it by using card reader or other usable phone which has sdcard slot.
Flash any of newest recovery such as TWRP personally suggested, Backup current ROM in case of further needed and then
Factory reset, format /system partition, wipe cache / Dalvik cache, and then flash new ROM too see if it works.
Remember format system partition!

download this file http://checkrom.com/threads/resurrection-odin-checkrom-evohd™-v4.896/
get into odin and flash this file into your phone through the download mode ... if everything works it should boot into cwm recovery .. then wipe data\factory reset , wipe cache , wipe dalvik cache and reboot ... wait 15 mins and it should work!! Good Luck!
woot this worked!
i tried re downloading the file first like qtwrk suggested and reflashing it in odin which still returned the same result but i then downloaded this one and did it and it worked
i got into the os downloaded triangle away and reset the counter then flashed the telstra one again so that it was right back to factory default firmware which is what i wanted, will proberly root it again but will def make sure i get a full backup right away incase of any issues later on.
thank you all for your help
hye me again just thought id write an update on my situation
it appears that the phone had stuffed up again this time tho couldnt get into recovery mode but could still get into download mode
i didnt bother doing the same thing again instead i just took it back to telstra and they replaced it, and they replaced it with the 305 model so worked out alright in the end
I dont know whether such a question can be asked, but i am altogether in a soup.
I have the problem of continuous boot loop.I tried cache wipe, but no it didnt work. i have gone through the forum and i have come to the conclusion that i will go for a factory reset.
But the real problem is i have lot of data that is not yet backed up (data which is in phone) and i am not able to do the same as the phone once switched on, continuously restarts.
Can anyone guide me on how to backup at such a situation ? The PC does not detect while the above happens.
How can i do a backup?
My phone is not rooted and has stock ICS firmware.
Please help
What version are you at?
You can go to Recovery and hit backup, that will probably backup everything and then you can just restore it.
If you are on 4.0.4 do NOT try this, it will potentially brick your device

I think i am at 4.0.1 but not sure...
You mean to say to do backup in recovery mode (Vol Up + Home + Power) , if so i am see only below options :
- reboot system now
- apply update from external storage
- wipe data/factory reset
- wipe cache partition
- apply update from cache
- test redbend fota[FS]
Just to let you know, the phone does not even stay at home screen for even 5 seconds. It just simply restarts repeatedly

If you want to backup all your phone data before doing a factory reset, I would suggest you going to download mode and flashing a new kernel that implements the CWM recovery.
Then you can go into your recovery and make a full backup of your phone on your sd card. It is also possible to mount your sd card as mass storage device and copy the files to your computer. And all of this can be done from the recovery.
Re: [Q] Data backup without powering on device?
Can you advise me on which kernel i should use ?

Actually i backed up all my data without flashing a kernel.
All i did was put CWM Recovery 4.0.1.5 in my SD card and went into recovery mode and selected "apply update from external storage" and selected the CWM recovery zip. And then i was able to do a complete backup without a problem. Later on i did a factory reset, and all is well with my phone now.
[Noob question]
I have a 2 year old Samsung GT-S5282 i just rooted a month ago, by installing CWM 6.0.3.7 and flashing SuperSU 2.07 in it.
I've installed a few root apps that "boosts" the phone's performance.
But a month later i tried rebooting the phone, it passes the boot logo, then it comes across a dialog saying "process system is not responding, do you want to close it?"
I pressed "wait", but then the system crashes and the screen turns off. I tried consecutive battery pulls, wiping cache partition, but no luck, it still crashes on the dialogue screen.
I reckon it's on the kernel, but i'm STILL not sure what is going on.
Can anybody suggest a fix? I really need this phone and i don't want to lose any data.
(I've backed up my personal files, i meant i don't want to lose any internal data that cannot be backed up)
Please.

Um thank you so much for the suggestion.
But unfortunately when i try to boot to recovery, the stock recovery opens up, not the CWM i flashed.
I tried to flash a fix for it, but it also didn't work.
But i guess flashing a new ROM will be the last option i have, so....do flashing one delete all my data? And if so, can i restore all internal data if ever i'll back it up? Thank you SO much for replying.

Well, then try three button combo (volume-down + home + power) to boot into bootloader and flash TWRP with odin.
No, your files in internal and external storage are not deleted when you format dalvik,cache,system and data partitions.
Edit: volume-down + home + power (boot to bootloader)
volume-up + home + power (boot to recovery)

By the way what version of TWRP would work great? (I have XXANF4 stock kernel btw, i still can't access the main screen of the phone after booting up)
And if i wipe system and data partitions will it delete the settings i have on the phone (ex. WiFi connection history, Bluetooth transfer history etc.)?
