Reflash again with the odin, follow steps CAREFULLY, after flash and device get booted, go to recovery and wipe cache,and dalvik cache if it's possibel with stock samsung recovery, then just reboot

thank you
thanks for your replies...I flashed odin again with odin 3.10 and it cured the problem..........trying to find a stock rom before I accepted the update is proving a harder challenge......but thanks again you guy's do a cracking job......

Not bricked but.. need help

looked at similar threads but not found what im looking for
i tried a new rom last night whih made my phone freeze and trying i could reboot as after 2 seconds it would hang. ended up flashing firmwre via odi which was fine.
tonight tried to reroot my phone using the S3 toolkit which i used fist time round. everything seemed to go as planned but then when it came to reboot.. s3 toolkit aid all successful but i was getting a black screen.
i can hear the samsung logo load up but cant see it.
I can boot into recovery and download mode. what do I do??.. reflash latest 4.1.1 firmware via Odin?
If this works how best to go about rooting as i dont know if i want to try the s3 toolkit again if it clearly didnt work (although all messages pointed to that it did)
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I would flash the last stock rom via odin. (I9300XXDLJ4) UK BTU
Then I would root using the chainfire topic here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1695238)
I hope it helps! Good luck!
Regards.
yeh done this about an hour ago and opted for Cf root.
now just trying to find a good stable Rom.. had omega from day I rooted. great rom but at the end the battery drain was unreal
I Like Wanamlite Rom. Give a try!
Cheers

Foxhound is great. But i have to say stock is better for me. Just use nova launcher then freeze all the bloatwares ising TBpro to set free your RAM. All smooth for me.

Did u update via kies or odin?
If u used a firmware and flashed via odin, please try another firmware.
Over this try to do a factory reset after u flashed the FW.

Well your phone is i9100g... You sure you flashed ROM of i9100g and not of galaxy s2 i9100...coz many people make that mistake..
Post this in the i9100g...idk how much we can help you with this..
Anyways, try factory resetting the phone...if no luck take it to Samsung customer care...it can be a hardware problem. ..
And ya, which ROM are you flashing? The official stock ROM or custom ROM?
Custom ROM do have many bugs and vary from phone to phone. .. Try going to stick for one and check if problem is still there. .
Press thanx if I helped...

cannot post on i9100g dev becoz my post still under 10...
im sure i flash the right rom from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1679636
ya..done factory reset but still got the problem...
like i said before..the touchscreen work fine if i plugin charger or connect usb to pc/laptop...
i dont think it becoz hardware problem since it work perfect on stock GB, stock ICS, aokp, CM and 4-5 other custom ROM...
can it becoz of battery? i use 1650mah...i have try 1500mah and touch screen getting more worst...
i still cant find any solution for my phone..
already try many method like
- using re-partion on odin with pit file
- format data, system, cache, emmc
- wipe data/factory reset/dalvic cache
- flash using odin/cwm
- root/unroot
after done all above..touch screen laggy and still make dash line on drawing...
after my last post...i have try most rom on Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development Section and my touchscreen on all rom are working perfect except official stock JB or custom rom base on stock JB...
forgot to mention that the day on my 1st time installing stock JB i accidently flash Galaxy tab 2 p3100 firmware and got softbrick
but successfuly unbrick then done flashing stock JB...dunno if this incident can damage my phone...
or is other way to make FULL FORMAT internal SD? to make sure the file that i accidently flash completely remove...

you could try Blazing Kernel, it can be flashed via stock recovery. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2113545.
Or you could also flash original GB and upgrade to JB either through OTA or KIES.

I have tried that two methods, Flashing GB (everything works great), flashing ICS (everything works great too), and then JB trough OTA and the touch screen doesnt work properly. I have tried the last Blazing Kernel too without success.
Thanks for the help.
Any ideas?
Try stock kernel. Customs aren't ready yet.

Dosent work either. :/
We have the same problem dude, touch screen not working properly after stock jb (xef) flash but working flawlessly when phone is plugged. I can't have a custom rom above 4.2.1, else I have the problem. Now I'm on CM10.1 4.2.1 and can't leave it because of this, the official rom I want is the official.
Did you got the screen of your phone replaced ? Because mine was and I was wondering if it was that.

Not sure if it was replaced because I bought it used on ebay.
But are you using CM10.1 4.2.1 without touch screen problems? Can you tell me the date of the release so I can try to flash my phone with that ROM?
Thanks
Yeah without touch screen problem. It's 20130213 nightly

[Q] Cant install any ROM on my Phone or even perform a Nandroid Backup

Ive tried installing the 4.4.2 ROM Achidroid N7000 on my phone using TWRP but it skipped the MD5 check and said "Installation failed/aborted....". I then tried an AOSP 4.4.2 ROM but it said the same error message. After that, I gave up and tried to use the phone. When it booted up, it froze on the Samsung logo and wouldnt boot up completely. Ive tried doing a FDR through the custom recoveries but still the same thing happens. I really dont know what to do. I have an i9300 under 4.3.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

I dun think archi developed any rom for the N7000. At least I didn't see any when googling. But if you flashed a N7000 rom on ur phone, even if u finally unbrick it, I bet there will be some hardware issues.

That should be a typo its n7100 which is the port for our s3 from international note 2
Sent from my GT-i9300
The first page alr said tat the rom is VERY buggy and is in the experimental state. Many things are not working in tat rom. So I have no idea why some one would wan it as their daily driver rom.
Issue Solved
Thank you guys. I was able to flash the ROM properly using PHILZ recovery.

[Q] New Note 2 user with a few questions.

Sorry in advance as I'm sure the answer is here somewhere but I cant manage to find it.
I just got a used Note 2 with an unlocked bootloader.
It is currently on SR Remix 4.3 and I'm wondering what I have to do (if anything) to be able to flash 4.4 aosp roms?
I saw something about using the latest recovery and I also thought I saw something about updating the baseband too but now I cant find it again
I've always had moto phones but with that being said I understand what odin is and helped my cousin flash a couple roms on his s3 before.
Any help is greatly appreciated. The last thing i want to do is brick my new phone haha
EDIT: My baseband is MJ9. Probably should have mentioned that

You need the latest cwr or twrp. Then you wipe, flash rom, flash latest gapps and then reboot.

wifi error
i don't know why but my wifi is not working its due to the fact i flashed a custom kernel with cwm recovery tool and it was a rooted kernel. I also rebooted several times but my wifi still says error. I looked for a stock kernel.sin flashed it the wifi is still not working so after flashing the kernel.sin i then tried a hard reset. Now my question if i reinstall 2.3.4 is that the only way il be able to get my wifi working again or isn't there a shorter method because im sure if i reinstall the phones firmware that should get my wifi working again any ideas ? by the way i havn't installed any custom rom i was about to but the wifi issue is a problem
