I'm on the latest Resurrection Remix rom and whenever i factory reset the rom from with the phone menu "Back & Reset", I get stuck at the Galaxy S2 logo upon restart. I cannot even access recovery and my only option is to install a stock rom via odin and start all over again. Does anyone one face the same issue and is there a fix for this?
P.S. I select the erase SD card option aswell.
no idea about RR, but after wipe, phone takes time to first boot.

why do u want to do erase sdcard option every time , i think its not needed and also if ur updating from one ver of RR to another, and u have no issues in the previous ver of RR then simply flash the new ver without factory reset and after booting go back to recovery wipe cache and dalvik and reboot back thats enough
Ofcourse i don't do it everytime but I tried it once and the issue is still there. I know the rom takes time to boot after reset but this actually soft bricks the phone. You can't even go into the recovery.
work around
I don't know a fix for it, but you can do everything from CWM,
it always works great for me.

I have GT-I9100.. Like I said, everything works fine but soft bricks if i reset the phone while selecting the erase SD card option.. There are no other issues. Was just wondering if someone else has it too.
Once you get the ROM up and running then change the kernel.Kernels are normally the reason for phones not booting and bricking.You can stay on the same type of kernel just re-flash an earlier one,a stable version,or even try a different one all together.
I think it on v3.3.2 so flash a previous kernel and see.It should solve your problems.

I'm using Resurrection Remix ics v2.5.2 as second rom and faced some issues with USB mount and opening Update menu in Setting. Seems like there is some problems with SD card in Resurrection Remix ics v2.5.2.

I have the same issue, it has happened to me twice, the first time after doing a factory reset while on resurrection remix and the second time while using cMIUI. I have no idea why, but the issue is there.
hello to all
well i have tested a few ROM´s but the Custom Stock Rom (Codenam: ETERNITY) is one of the best in my opinion.
I have flashed this Rom, and it worked realy fine, my first mistake was that i did not make a backup, and my second mistake was that i have tried to flash some Mod´s.
After flashing a few Mod the Rom does not working correctly, anway i though i reflash it again, but that was not so easy as i thought.
After four time flashing, it did not work, so i thought, i flash the Original Samsung Firmware (i downloaded from Sammobile) so after flashing i rooted my S2 again and the Rom Eternity download it again, and save it in my mobile, in CWM window, i have follow this instructions.
Installation Pocedures:
If you're coming from ICS Roms, Stock Roms, AOKP/AOSP Roms or Custom Roms:
Download the zip file.
Put it in either internal or external SDCard.
Reboot in recovery, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, wipe dalvik cache.
Go to Mount and storage, format preload.
*If you do not have fromat preload in recovery (Except Philz and Jeboo kernels), Please go to Other Links section on 1st post to get the GS2ROMWipe. Then, run this in recovery*
Install the ROM.
After installation finish, reboot your device.
The first boot will take several minutes.
Please allow 5-10mins to let the media scanner to finish after configuring the Setup Wizard.
Then, open up SuperSU App and update it.
But it did not worked, later i have follow the instructions from the Video, the same problem.
I see only on Screen : " Samsung Brilliantly Stock Custom Stock ROM"
Please allow 5-10mins to let the media scanner to finish after configuring the Setup Wizard.

Anyone else have problems flashing to a 4.3 ROM? (I know some people do because I've searched.)
No matter what ROM it is, if it is 4.3 it will always fail to reboot a second time after it has been flashed.
Currently on CleanROM ACE 4.9 (4.1.2) with TWRP 2.6.0.1
I've tried to go to CM10.2 and it would reboot initially but then hang on the Note II logo if I tried to reboot.
I've tried to go to Paranoid Android.. same thing.
I've tried to go to PAC-man.. same thing.
I've tried flashing from the stock 4.1.2 ROM and the same thing happens.
I've followed every instruction I could find including this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2423057
I do a factory reset, format data, flash ROM, wipe caches, flash gapps, wipe caches, reboot. It will boot fine from TWRP and load everything normally. Then, if I reboot or power off the device, it will hang on the Note II screen and I have to nandroid back to my previous ROM.
Any insight as to why this is happening? I haven't been able to find anything besides some random instructions for wiping/flashing (which I've linked). These ROMs look great and I'd really like to move to 4.3, but I cannot figure out what the problem is.

First time installing CyanogenMod 10.2 to your Galaxy Note 2 I605, or coming from another ROM:
- Read known issues ans FAQs
- Flash the latest official ClockworkMod-Recovery
- Copy GApps and CM10.2 ZIPs to your SDCard
- Boot into Recovery
- Flash CM10.2 zip from SDCard
- Flash GApps zip from SDCard
- DO A DATA WIPE / FACTORY RESET (otherwise your device will be stuck at boot)
- Reboot
- Don't restore system data using Titanium Backup!
- Restoring Apps + Data might cause problems and is not recommended, avoid it if possible!
read the OP for CM 10.2 next time....
First - clockworkmod not twrp for 4.3 usually fixes things
Second - do a factory reset AFTER installing
Third - Dont restore apps with TiBu going to 4.3
Next time be truthful when you say you read and searched.
I have a Galaxy S2 intl version. I was on carbon rom with siyah kernel. All was fine then suddenly it force reboots. but while rebooting it just didn't happen. Nothing happened. The screen logo just flashes for a second and then disappears, and then nothing happens. I tried entering the recovery mode, but doesn't enter the recovery mode. The download mode is working just fine. So I flashed a custom rom with siyah kernel using ODIN, hoping it would help, but nothing seems to happen though both rom and kernel are flashing perfectly alright! Please help me recover my phone guys. Would be extremely grateful, please!
Don't use siyah on custom roms. Flash Dorimanx 9.xx through odin . Recovery should now work. Go into recovery and factory reset clear the caches and reboot. Should work fine after this.
Remember
Dorimanx 8.xx is for stock and custom rom
Dorimanx9.xx is for custom only.

Okay so I left my phone overnight, with the battery pulled out. I had flashed a stock rom before going to sleep. And i woke up and just put the battery back in to flash Dorimanx, and, something happened. The phone entered recovery mode :cyclops: I had been trying to get in the damn thing for the whole day yesterday, and today it happened, so i did as you said, wiping all that, and rebooted the phone. In a little odd fashion though, but it booted up and the setup process started, and it's working fine now. So, now I'm on a custom rom JB 4.1.2 and siyah kernel. I want a stable 4.3 on my phone. What can I do, sir? I dont wanna run into trouble again, so what would be a safe way?

I am installing the Carbon Rom, JB 4.3 as I already have a copy of it on my phone, and I'm doing it with the same previous kernel on it, ie, Siyah-s2-v5.0.1. Should this create a problem?
Yes it will. DONT USE SIYAH. Use dorimanx 9.xx for any custom rom. Including carbon rom

Okay now I'm really sorry it's starting to bug you but my phone seems to develop new problems every time I reboot. Now, I havent changed anything, On a stock rom with siyah kernel. and i rebooted, and stuck again! I am able to enter recovery mode though (CWM recovery) and download mode also. BUT, now what happens when I boot is, the samsung logo shows with the triangle and, the boot tune plays but there's nothing on the screen, it's just black, and a few secs later, it gives a small vibration, all still with the phone screen black. Later i get to know that my phone has apparently turned on, but the screen is not showing anything. I called my cell and to my surprise it rings meaning its actually ON!! Why is the screen not ON then?? Please help, kind sir! Also if you could provide me with links to the required kernels/roms or whatever else required. Eagerly awaiting your saviour reply! :crying:
You need to go bk to stock with Odin. Test and see if it still happened with fully stock rom and kernel.

Hey, problem solved now, dont know what it was though! What i did was flash the Carbon rom with siyah, and it booted and then i flashed dorimanx and its working fine now. But the gapps package is reacting weirdly. I flashed it perfectly and when i reboot, it says "Google + stopped working" and then i check the app menu and there's no google apps whatsoever. http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20130813-signed.zip I then installed play store apk and it opened up and looked fine but then that is all it did! It won't download anything. What shall I do?
Full wipe. So format
Data
System
Preload
Cache
Dalvik cache
Then flash
Rom and gapps
Then flash dori
Then reboot

I did everything! I never got the option to format preload though. Everything else went smooth. Rebooted. Same problem persists.
Go bk to recovery and factory reset. Also maybe if that don't work redownload gapps and try again. May have curupt gapps.

How do I check to tell which nightly I am on? And the first time I had done the full format, i had preload, and while i foramtted that, it gave me some error saying it couldnt do so. I completed the procedure anyways, availing no success. So, repeated it second time and found no preload option. The recovery menu seems to have changed. Is it a matter of concern? I am on a CWM recovery, apparently. and i found the preload option. tried. it says "Error foramtting /preload" how should i proceed?
Okay this is what I'm using "CARBON-JB-NIGHTLY-20131018-0102-i9100" Please help! I've run into more problems than I had anticipated! I am so worried. What should I do now?

Try gapps for jb 4.3. It will surely work.

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
Now swipe to flash
Wait to flash finish and then click on Reboot system
Done
Good luck

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.
