Hello everyone, I'm Aly. The problem I'm facing with my SII is that whenever I flash the stock firmware, I successfully see the bootup animation but it keeps repeating again and again. I've tried:
1.Downloading the firmware again ( thought it was corrupt)
2.Factory resetting the phone it stock, CWM and TWRP recovery
3.Tried plugging the USB cable in ALL USB PORTS!!
4.Tried flashing a custom rom but still didn't work
5.Wiped Data, System, Cache, Internal Storage, Dalvik Cache
It all started when I flashed Lineage OS on my phone. I successfully flashed it and it was working. I used it for almost a month.
Then I decided to switch to lollipop after flashing the stock firmware. But after that I was able to flash roms but all were stuck at the boot loop
The stock firmware didnt work either
Please help me get out of this problem...

Stock rom won't work because it needs 512mb preload partition, you repartitioned your phone with a pit that decreases preload partition to 45mb, if you want to get back to stock, you need to repartition your phone with the original pit file, or use a pit that supports 1gb system partition and 512mb preload at the same time.
Use pits from the zip attached with the first post in saber's guide to have preload 512mb with system 1.5 gb:

Hi guys.
My phone is a international i9300
I've been searching for a problem like mine in the forum for three weeks now and I couldn't find a proper solution.
I just can't flash any rom via CWM anymore...
I can flash roms via ODIN, but when it comes to CWM, it gets stucked at Samsung logo after the install.
I tried:
Wipe cache / Dalvik / factory reset.
before the installation, after the installation, every combination possible.
Tried megawipe and no help.
Changed the kernel, Siyah, Googy, stock...
Changed versions of CWM, touch.
I have now the Phil'z 5.0.15.
I like very much the XXELK4 version from roalex with its MOD, for the call recording and full multiwindow support, but can't flash it anymore, nor any other custom or stock via CWM.
By now I can only have a full stock flashed via odin, or my Omega 46.1, wich I have a full backup.
Another solution could be find a .tar rooted and with the MODS flashable via Odin, but I really wanted to understand what's happening with my recovery.
Thank you all and congrats for the great work with the forum.
In cwm format..
Data
System
Cache
Then go to advanced and wipe dalvik cache
Then flash the rom.
Your cwm is upto date?

Sorry.
Forgot to include in the original post... I tried that too. Formatted everything
Got the 6.0.6.3
I also tried with the last Philz recovery.
And with previous versions of both too.
Have you tried to go bk to stock,root that firmware then install cwm then flash custom rom? Clean slate start.
Your problem may be a bad file download .

I'll try to download again, although it's not likely that several files are bad. I tried with so many different roms...
I bought another micro sd of 64gb. Maybe the one I'm using is ruining the files...
There can't be a so huge bug in philz recovery
Try install from internal sdcard, a simple 'Factory Reset before New Rom' no need to mega wipe anything.

Of course. And I tried with different versions of Philz' and also CWM. It can't be a bug in recovery.
Re-downloaded the revolution 29.0 and the Roalex XXELK4 rooted, copyed directly to internal and flashed... Same problem. Stuck at Samsung logo in boot. I'm begining to think my phone is screwed up. But this is so strange. I can restore my backup with no problems, and also can flash with Odin.
Is there a way to flash a .ZIP ROM in Odin?
Does not make any sense .
What model phone do you have ???
What model firmware are you flashing .
What about basic stock custom roms flashed via CWM ??
Have you booted to Philz recovery mounts and storage format sd card cache system and data then flash rom ??
Agree it is strange Deviating a little from your problem but have you tried flashing anything with TWRP recovery see if the problem persists with that.

I know it doesn't. That's why I'm going crazy.
I uploaded the screenshots with my system specs.
The model is correct, international i9300. Tried to download from the site and also directly from rommanager.
The firmwares I'm trying to flash are stock, but rooted by Roalex. I couldn't find a pure stock .zip for testing with CWM. The firmware I'm using is UBEMH5 from sammobile, wich I flashed via Odin.
Yes... Tried and formatted everything, several times, mounted, unmounted, every possible order...
Almost giving up. :crying:

I never used TWRP. Can I flash the same ROM file .zip with it or it requires it's own rom file type?
I'm gonna be out of the country for two days. When I come back I'll give it a try.

It's been a while since i used it last time was when I had a S2 and I used it all the time:good: You can flash any rom with it that cwm can flash (as far as I know) but it had a little trouble restoring backups made with cwm but I think that got fixed.But you can make backups and loads of other things with it I recommend people to try it at least once This won't fix your cwm problem but would be interesting to see if it works
If twrp doesn't work on stock Flash googy Max dualboot kernel and keep stock as primary rom and custom as second rom. Then you have best of both world's :thumbup: also take the pic down with your emei showing :banghead: never ever show this!
What i would do in this situation is .
In recovery format cache system sd card preload .
Flash stock rom via Odin.
Check phone works ok .
Then root / flash philz recovery .
Put custom rom on sd card boot to recovery factory reset .
Then install custom rom watching setup to spot a failure point .
Wait for rom to load 10 mins fails then remove batter replace and factory reset .
Problem solved
Hi folks.
Think I figured out what's going on.
Via TWRP it says the files were corrupted, although the file sizes were identical.
I MD5 checked the files in my computer and they're ok, but when checked already inside my phone or SD they're not.
Instead of copying the files via USB cable I removed the SD card and inserted directly in my laptop slot and copyed the files. MD5 checked and they're ok...
After I tryed again copy via USB and the files were corrupted again.
I think my desktop USB or maybe the Samsung drivers are doing that.
Well, problem solved. I hope this helps other people in future problems.
Thank you all for your help and support. Keep on with the great work.
Mark solved then for other users .
After I flashed stock ROM. The Phone keeps on blinking Samsung Galaxy S3 GT I9300 Logo. Doesn't start. Tried reflashing other stock ROMs. Tried Factory Reset as well..Please Help
You can try flashing Philz recovery via odin, then run a mega wipe script to fully format system, data and preload.
In recovery does it show any errors?

Hi
I'm new to the forums and just wondering if anyone can help me out.
I've just started exploring custom ROMs and the like. I've flashed and rooted my Galaxy SIII about four times and never had any problems. Just yesterday I flashed the latest stable build of Slimbean and when I went to root it afterwards it completed the process but wouldn't start. Now it's stuck in a boot loop. I can't access download or recovery mode. Please Help!!!!!!!!

How can I wipe cache or preform a factory reset if i can't access recovery mode?
I searched the internet and threads on XDA for this problem but couldn't really find one!
The problem is- My Galaxy S3 (GT-I9300) doesn't boot any AOSP/AOKP/CM ROMs! It's just the bootanimation and DONE! For hours and hours the bootanimation only! But I can flash any Sammy 4.3 / 4.4 ROMs! They boot! They work properly!
I used to change to AOSP to Sammy and vice versa so many times with no issues. One day I downloaded the UltimaAOSP Valhalla ROM and flashed it. This was the first time my S3 didn't boot. I flashed custom Kernels like boeffla on it but all in vain. It was stuck on the bootanimation. I flashed NeatROM AOSP on top of it, which worked properly. Then it was with the fusion sp ROM that it didn't boot again. Again I flashed NeatROM AOSP on top of it (it's my favorite ROM), which I used just to copy some other ROM from my PC to my phone.
Now, I'm on my Stock ROM which came with my phone since so long! I'm shocked to see now NO AOSP ROMs are booting! I've used C-ROM, NeatROM, Resurrection Remix and SOKP Milestone. I have the ROMs' ZIP files and also a Nandroid Backup which I made when I changed to other ROMs. Not the ZIP files neither the Nandroid Backups are helping! ZIP files get flashed succesfully (I wipe the data & cache & dalvik-cache every time) and the Nandroid Backups get restored successfully! But always the phone gets stuck on the bootanimation!
I always moved to AOSP from Sammy (never Sammy to Sammy) but this time I gave it a shot.
Result : All the Samsung ROMs are flashing, working properly, even the Nandroid restores boot. I flashed my newly downloaded FlashingDroid Sammy 4.4 ROM which also works.
BUT I CAN'T GET THE AOSP ROMs onto my phone!
My thought (it could be wrong) : Is it to do something with the data in a partition other than system, data, and cache? Some partition which has stored files needed to boot Sammy ROMs and is preventing AOSP ROMs to start?
HELP!
:crying:
MORE UPDATED INFO ON POST #6
::ROBLEM SOLVED:::
Wipe system, data, cache and preload partitions manually in mounts and storage in CWM Recovery.
DONE! AOSP Working!
Suggests something is being left behind that aosp objects to. Try the rescue firmware in general forum, wipe internal sd and preload.

Have lots of data on my internal memory! Still I deleted lots of unwanted files. Any other way to wipe the hidden preload partition other than using Philz Recovery? I remember I flashed Philz after which I couldn't restore any of my Nandroid Backups backed up with CWM Recovery..

Press thanx if i helped you in anyway...
Update - Got More Info
Update : Just noticed that when it's the bootanimation on the screen after flashing an AOSP ROM, pressing any of the buttons on the phone vibrates the phone vigorously 2 times.. why??
Also, I want to ask about the connection between a kernel and a bootanimation without starting a new thread 'cause I think it's the solution to my problem here.. The data which I probably suspect that prevents AOSP ROMs from booting is some different bootanimation file? I mean when I'm on a Sammy ROM, I started to flash different bootanimations after flashing some CWM Custom Bootanimation ZIP file. The bootanimation changes on all Kernels on Sammy ROMs -except 1 that is the boeffla kernel. The strange thing is that the first custom bootanimation I had flashed (after flashing Boeffla's Sammy Kernel) when I switched to Sammy from my last AOSP was the hTC One Bootanimation which worked fine (the bootanimation successfully changed). After that, it never changed. My phone always booted up showing the hTC One Bootanimation no matter how many times I flashed another bootanimation ZIP or the CWM ZIPs which enable/disable Custom bootanimations. But! When I changed to any other kernel (the stock that came with the ROM/GoogyMax 2/AGNi), the bootanimation was the last one flashed by me before changing the kernel. I could change the bootanimations successfuly every time after that. Now, I flashed Android Revolution HD ROM and was on Stock Kernel. As soon as I changed to boeffla kernel (without flashing any other ZIP), the bootanimation changed! (automatically!) And it was again the same old hTC One Bootanimation.
Can someone please tell me WHERE is this bootanimation data and the data that prevents AOSP ROMs to boot is stored? Certainly not in the data or system or cache partition...
Update 2 : Just figured out where the automatic htc bootanimation magic happened. The hTC bootanimation.zip file was found in data/local . However, I always knew the bootanimation directory as system/media.. So now, is it safe for me to delete all files in data/local 'cause it seems it is the problem for AOSP ROMs?

I have booted many Samsung roms and also ported many of them like J5's 5.1.1 , On7's 5.1.1 rom and many other 5.1.1 and 5.0.2 roms and all of them work perfectly. But when it comes to AOSP ROMS each of them keeps loading at the booting animation screen. Ive tried many roms like RR, AOSP Extended, Cyanogenmod, LINEAGEOS, All of these 5.1.1 , 7.1.1.
It booted for others with the exact Same variant as mine too.

Well, what you did was butter than a factory reset.
Factory reset means wiping data, cache and dalvik cache.
I would like you to do something first, try downloading the latest stock firmware for your phone from sammobile, and then flash it with Odin, then try flash AOSP roms again, maybe you have an old bootloader.

Are you sure it's the latest one?
Did you check Sammobile.com?
The latest one was released in 1st Feb 2017.
Also please check the IMEI of your phone by typing *#06#, because if you've a problem with efs partition you may not be able to flash any AOSP Rom (happened to a friend before..he had sim working without IMEI!!)
Also what is your country code?
As stated above, check your imei is still OK then from a working stock state:
Root it.
Flash custom recovery.
Flash the custom rom twice and then wipe data/cache. Do not wipe system!.
If that doesn't work then try the above but instead of wipe data/cache do a factory reset.

Self-explanatory really.
I updated my phone a few weeks ago to Omnirom 4.4.4, one of the nightly builds and everything was going well.
Today I installed a couple of apps, and tonight the screen started flickering and the phone reset, however when it started again, it went into a bootloop.
How do I get it working again without losing the files that are on the internal memory? (I don't know which resets in CWM delete personal data)

How do I get it working again without losing the files that are on the internal memory? (I don't know which resets in CWM delete personal data)
Thanks

Flash latest (6.0.4.7) CWM or latest TWRP (2.7.1.0 if Im not wrong) and reflash the rom.
Wiping data, and formatting partitions doesnt get you wiped internal memory files; but apps and things installed.

I did this, and I'm still stuck in a bootloop, it gets as far as the "Omni" animation, and then reboots
Any advice?

I'm sorry for my ignorance, but would you happen to know of a guide for flashing the stock ROM?
Would it fix by flashing a different ROM, such as Cyanogenmod which I have in the download folder on the phone?
If like you said you don't want to lose data don't flash stock rom this will wipe your data fist thing you need to do is install PhilZ recovery then look here >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/orig-development/i93xx-philz-touch-t2002953 << then look at the special features section here >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39433728#post39433728 << look for the aroma file manager and how to use.
You will then be able to boot into recovery browse your internal files with aroma and move and copy/backup what you need,once you have done all that you will then be able to return to stock with odin.

If you don't want to lose your data then no because you need to wipe your data....Did you reboot into recovery and wipe cache advanced delvik cache? Also read my suggestions above
Model : Samsung galaxy s3 GT19300
I was using s5 sensation rom for my s3 gt19300 but was facing some problems. So i swithed to Glamour s5. The flashing process was successfully done (i wiped all cache,dalviks cache). Now when i start the phone the samsung logo appears and then the screen remains blank. Now i cant start my phone. Tried flashing the same file several times yet no progress( phone can start in recovery mode). Now i dont have any backup of the previous roms on my phone and cannot access phones internal memory as phone is not starting up. * Is there any way by which i can paste the previous rom on my phones internal memory and flash that? Or any other process using odin or anything so that i can get my phone back:crying:*
Tried various times by removing battery for a long time and flasing again and clearing cache and dalviks cache.
Any way to read phoneinternal memory on PC in recovery mode to paste the previous rom file.
Thanks in advance

download stock firmware from sammobile flash it with odin. after flashing stock rom boot into recovery wipe data, reboot system. It will boot
before flashing any rom at first flash stock rom then flash the custom roms beacuse clean install is always better.
In recovery
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache
wipe dalvik cache
flash the rom
reboot system :good:
I suggest you to try blekota note 3 lite rom

Actually your problem with glamour rom is just the kernel. After flashing the rom, don't reboot but flash appropriate kernel then you reboot.
