Performed rooted ROM steps [epictouch4groot.com], everything worked fine except WiFi. So of course, had to keep going.
Rolled back to stock ROM, still the same: Everything worked but WiFi.
Kept tinkering: Calkulin wipe, then Starburst...Now hangs at Boot Screen (displays 'Samsung GALAXY SII' for infinity.) I've wiped data/cache, wiped Dalvik, (several times). I can still push ROMs via SDCard and Odin (stock rom, back to Starburst, and even one with CWM5) but with same result.
What's next?
Thanks anyone for your help.
If WiFi doesn't work even after an odin reset, it might be a hardware issue. :/ best bet is to odin back to stock EG30 and take it to sprint.
Actually hang on, did you odin EVERYTHING (modem, kernel, rom) back to stock or just the rom? And is it no wifi or stuck on bootscreen after the odin?
and, check your router at home, to make sure thats not the problem...unless of course your wifi doesn't work anywhere else too.
I think you jinxed me, my wifi doesn't work now either..I turn it on, it scans and finds nothing and turns off again. X.x"

That's exactly what mine was doing as well (quick scan, then shuts off), but now it will not boot at all. So original problem was no wifi; now it will not boot at all (but I can still flash it via Odin or Recovery Mode.)
When you ask, "did you odin EVERYTHING (modem, kernel, rom) back to stock or just the rom?"
Not sure, I guess just the kernel. I've been flashing only this file to get it to stock: acs-eb30-stock-kernel-pulled.tar What else would I need to do to completely re-stock it?
Thanks for the help all.

Got it fixed. Performed a FULL stock wipe via odin. Phone is back to pre-sprint update, but wifi is working.

ok..
so im stuck.. tried to reflash the stock DL17, using the downloads provided, including PIT (repartition checked).. via ODIN 1.3 to clear back to stock..
after flashing, the phone booted to DL17 - sort of.. no data was gone, all the wife's programs were there, and i got into a FC hell during setup. ACORE, GAPPS, pretty much every program.
then re-odined the DL17 by itself, no repartition, no pit..
now i cant get anything to flash...ODIN tells me it flashes fine, normal on there.. the phone does not hit the samsung logo.. goes straight to the android system recovery and i have NO hotkeys to select anything..
it says at the bottom..
"e:can't mount /dev/block/st111" (twice)
then under that it says
"update.zip gone"
ive tried every combo from the dev tools thread, and all flash fine via ODIN but go straight back to the android recovery, and i cant select anything..
anyone have any creative ideas?
First, "bricked" is used for when your phone does nothing.
Second, this isn't a development post. And read through stickies in general forum. This problem has been solved. Mostly from Irc.

and for the record i tried the heimdall magic fix in general section and it didnt work. phone starts to boot then shuts off. have to pull battery to get power. 3 finger recovery does not work either..just flashes the screen with samsung and dies again.

The fact that no data was gone the first time interests me.... Was it definitely a full system/data/cache/everything else tar?
I would download the EC07 full package, repartition, then try my magic fix....

if i remember correctly, on irc, he said he flashed a rom that wasn't meant for the continuum, rather another galexy device..
well you surely are not bricked. but the cache partition is in deed messed up. (stl11 refers to the cache partition) unfortunatly, it seams as though you have done just about everything.
Try loading up heimdall and load only the pit, the kernel(imnuts hacked kernel is what i recomend using), and the modem/radio(ec07).
This should fix any partition issues. It will format the partitions in place where they should be but it will not write to the partitions. What i recommend next is different from most other things.
Hopefully if all is well, when you install the kernel it should fix the issues with the boot loader. boot into CWM if possible. Now try and flash a version of ec07.
If you are only receiving the stl11 issue all other partitions should be good. once the kernel and everything else is in place and you flash the system it should be good and boot up... hopefully

Starts to boot? Where does it get to? Do you get into recovery, at all? Also, do you get samsung logo? Before you said it was booting straight into recovery. Has that changed after magic fix? I'd recommend doing a full ec07 stock with repartition in heimdall.
Thank you all..
I havent been to the IRC yet. Been trying everything else.
Here is the full story of the phone...
1. When the first ROM came out for this, I flashed it. Something (no idea what) borked it during the flash, and the phone wouldn't turn on. I could only get to CWM. I would try and wipe data, nothing would happen. I got a walk through from someone here on other stuff to try, which included mounting all the drives, and wiping them. I have never been able to mount (manually) any drive since - but it got me running again.
I was getting errors in CWM constantly.
2. No matter what i flash, or what (or how many times) i wipe data, datadata, system, ect.. whenever i flash anything the data from the old ROM remains on the phone and i end up in force close hell on the new ROM..
3. i probably the most stable ROM was EC03.. it worked but after a while would start random rebooting 4-5 times a day. ..so then wife wanted to try MIUINA.. we had her on V4 for a while. Then with upgrade to V5, things went bad again. I couldn't wipe data, ODIN the stock EC07 worked once, but the old data remained (all her settings/programs were force closing and old wallpaper remained.) then after that, I tried to ODIN MIUINA v5 again, ODIN said it worked, phone bootlooped into "stock" recovery, but gave the errors i posted above. no keypresses avail. t
tried heimdall fix all solution, now it boots to the SAMSUNG screen and hangs then shuts off, and wont turn on until a battery pull.
i cant 3 finger to recovery (wont let me, just hangs at samsung screen and then dies after about 2 minutes)
right now, i can get ODIN to work about half the time with the phone "taking" the flash, will get to the verizon logo and while building the dalvik, it dies, shuts off and then wont boot past samsung logo.
im going to try and see if i can get ODIN to let me flash CWM and get to cyan recovery and try a nandroid restore if it will let me.
can i use the DL17 stock MD5 file in heimdall? this is my first time using heimdall.. dont i need other files?

You will need the dl17 pit file. And to use heimdall, you need to break the tar down to its component files. I use 7zip for that, but winrar works too. I'll be in irc in 30 minutes, if you want to run through it.
thank you Txwolf1980 for the offer of an IRC chat, seriously..i just got this late this afternoon..i had to leave friday evening, and didnt get back until late.
i finally got the thing to boot..but it was out of total desperation, i started (logically, yet with reckless abandon, since I had nothing to lose at this point) flashing crap..
here is what i did to get this puppy running again..
ODIN, heimdall and CWM were doing nothing for me..no boot, no recovery, no 3 finger..nothing... still couldnt even boot into original system recovery..
since i have a fascinate, i had a few beers and decided to flash cwm4 (for the MTD ROMS) just to see what would happen...tried a 3 finger and it flickered the screen as if it *wanted* to go to recovery but didnt go into recovery, just kicked me back to the samsung screen..however i took the flicker as a good sign, maybe that jogged something somewhere..
i immediately reflashed the CWM adryn that is used for the continuum.. and 3 fingered after ODIN rebooted..
PROFIT! i now had the softkeys back to select the update zip for cyan recovery..
got into cyan recovery and went to mounts and storage, and mounted everything, wiped them (except for sd card) then unmounted them all and wiped them all again..
it took the commands.. i wiped the snot out of everything i could find to wipe.. i went back to install zip from SD card and flashed stock EC03 that i put on there months ago.. and hit reboot..
PROFIT! it booted.. it was all FUBAR, had screen flickering funny, and key presses were delayed by 3-4 seconds.. the phone was functional, calls, text, market all worked.. however, when the phone was powered off, it returned to stock (like a data wipe) upon restart. which was really weird..
f-it, i was booted.. and it was functional.. now to fix this for good...
i then did some research here, and found i was using the wrong PIT and EC07 ODIN files when flashing in ODIN.. found the right ones...and pulled battery, went to download mode, and flashed EC07 leak (production) with the I500 PIT, repartition checked..and ODIN immediately applied the PIT and flashed EC07...
the wifes phone is now running like a champ.. its not rooted, and is binged and bloated, but its looking like its completely fixed.. time will tell, but its been running for the last 6 hours now perfectly. I even rebooted 2x to make sure the changes/data/downloads stuck this time, and they did.
the wife threatened to snip off my giblets if i attempted to root it or mess with it anymore i tried to remind her that she is the one who liked the "cool other rom-thingies" but that didnt fly.. so i handed her the phone and said have fun....
sincere and heartfelt thanks to all who pitched in to the conversation to help... i hope that this post will help others who think their continuum is completely fubar..
im done messing with her phone. ill head back to flopping between ICS and MIUI on my fascinate where i know more abotu what im doing.. i haven't turned my fassy into a door stop in almost a year of HEAVY flashing..
so, for some weird, out-of-the-blue reason, i can't flash anything successfully through odin. i tried flashing sfhub's el29 one-click ROM (no data) and it flashed, however, when it's done flashing and it tries to boot, it just bootloops. i used to be able to just go into recovery, wipe data, reboot, and all would be fine, however i can't boot into recovery. when i hold down volume up + power, it shows the galaxy boot ani for a few seconds like it normally does when going into recovery mode, but then it'll disappear, the screen will go black, and then it will try to reboot normally again. it never goes into recovery mode.
i tried flashing EL26 stock CMW kernel, and odin goes through the motions as if it flashes, however, when i try to boot into recovery, it does what it did before: display the galaxy boot animation for a few seconds, disappear, then reboots normally.
now, i'm trying to flash sfhub's fb17 full restore and it's hung at data.img (like only 2% remaining). it's been stuck for about 10 minutes now.
WHAT DO? should i try using Kies to reinstall stock firmware?

dammit that really blows! i need to order a jig now to clear my count. dammit i knew i should've used the triangle app last night when i had the chance. blahhhhhhhhh
okay so i was able to remove the yellow triangle, but am not able to reset the odin count. is there a way to reset the count via recovery or odin? obviousy i can't use the yellow triangle app cuz i can't even get android loaded. seems like whatever the yellow triangle app is doing should be able to duplicated in recovery too. what say?

yeah, i saw that earlier, but i can't make anything of it.
i tried "/sys/block/mmcblk0boot0/force_ro" via adb while in recovery, but got access denied. is it because su isn't included in rogue 1.1.2 recovery? if so, how do i install su?
At least you should have the original bootloader so a jig will work.
To help others, do you think you can remember when the problem happened.
Usually it happens when doing operations in an ics-based custom recovery, operations like wipe/factory reset, restoring backups, flashing ROMs, etc.
i guess the usb jig is my only option if i wanna take it to the store. i'm a cheapskate and dont feel like waiting to get a jig shipped to me and then waiting longer for sprint to replace the phone, so i really wanted to find any manual way of repartitioning or just resetting the count myself.
anywho, this all started when...
i was in the process of wiping my phone to install aokp build 31. i flashed calk's wipe all script, then used the factory reset option in cwm recovery (http://www.mediafire.com/?hkydca9ob98z89m, first post of aokp dev thread). everything was kosher. i started odin'ing el26 (cuz i like to play it the safe way, and this way has always worked for me). odin seemed successful cuz it said "passed!"; and i had done this numerous times with every build of AOKP and CNA so nothing seemed out of the ordinary. when it rebooted, it got stuck at boot loop, which is typical in my experience -- i just go into stock recovery and wipe data and all would be good again. however, this time when i went into stock recovery to wipe data, it just froze and didn't do anything. and that's how i met your mother.
also, apparently the only recovery image i can flash via odin is steady hawkin's rogue recovery 1.1.2.
Okay wtf im able to flash cm7 all of a sudden. Brb, blowing load into sock, will report back later.
nvm, it freezes about 5 seconds after loading the home screen.

I've never used calks format all with anything ics related because I heard you don't want to format the data. also when you factory reset was that on el26?
I got yelled at for starting a new thread because this is the exact same problem that happened to me. I was in Calks ics rom, I had downloaded the new alpha build for CM9, and installed rom manager and clockwork and went into recovery and went to wipe everything and BOOM, froze, and then when I tried to restart it it got stuck on the galaxy s ii logo and kept cycling like yours did. I cant get into recovery, but can get into download mode.
So OP|, are we screwed? Did you find a way to fix er up? Cuz I haven't

Level27xrock,
To answer your question first, you're probably "hard" bricked. It's been posted many times that you'll be able to get into Download mode, ODIN *most* of the stock image and it will hang at data.img because a previous action that you did - suspected to be the CWM wipe operation but not definitively confirmed - caused a I/O problem within the embedded memory or eMMC. Please feel free to try this out on your own and verify the results for yourself - it seems that may be the only way of convincing you.
You can find out more in the thread linked above.
I hope you will read the threads more before you try again. Please start with the one that says "How Not To Brick Your E4GT" for example. You also missed the one that said ROM Manager is a no-no for the E4GT - believe it's in the Q&A forum.
If I read the earlier posts right, I believe something similar happened to my friend. He was on AOKP then tried to Odin FD05 and it wouldnt get past splash screen. He then went back to EG30 and ran that through Odin and it did work but if some ROMs effect Odin completely flashing and restoring a stock setup then we are going to have a new surge of problems
Edit..he did NOT wipe in ICS recovery either

So I've had this problem, and I fought with it for one night until I got it working. I'm sharing my experience here in case others have this issue, and I invite people that have encountered this issue to criticize the way I fixed my problems so that we can get the minimum bricked to working procedure and identify issues in loading custom roms.
The problem is that the phone after flashing a custom rom will work, but you get 'no carrier' meaning that the radio on the device isn't connecting to your carrier. In my case, 'Sprint'. I don't know why this happens, but no matter what I did, I couldn't get it to connect.
What I had to do was go back to stock. The MD4 stock didn't work for me, it would display the samsung note 2 branding screen, then the screen would fuzz out like an old tv that lost the vsync signal, and then the red light would blink blink blink. I bricked my pho.ne
The good news is, I didn't completely brick it. What you have to do is ODIN the phone. The problem was, it would never go into odin mode, it would always crash before it got there. What I had to do was take the battery out and power it ONLY via USB. Then it would go into odin, and I was able to flash the LJC firmware. It seems that if you want to replace the radio, you have to flash an entire rom to do it. Those downloads are a gig!
So even after doing this, it wouldn't quite work right. If you still have issues, you may have to ODIN a new BOOT image. Once you do that, then when it boots you'll get the standard sprint logo and animation / sound, but it will still hang. What you have to do then is load a custom recovery (odin), boot into that recovery, and format system twice then cache twice. The recovery that worked best for me was ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.4.3.
That seemed to reset the radio/carrier and then I could load the original LJC rom & radio. I verified that I could access everything. Then, I did CF Auto-Root, and loaded a new custom rom. All was working afer that!
Hello,
I have a GT-N7105 (Australian Version) and tonight i flashed this kernel (N7105 MK5 kernel) the phone worked fine for a little while and then turned off and now wont go past the boot screen.
My phone was running 4.1.2 i think maybe the kernel wasnt compatible (stupid thing to do i know)
Can anyone help me to get the phone working again if it is at all possible, im currently dling the stock rom from samsung and will try to flash with ODIN.
But im not sure what to do i dont even know where to find the original kernel for my phone.
Thanks
I've never heard of a wrong kernel booting fine, then gradually stop working...
Stock rom through odin (factory reset in recovery first) will fix most issues, in particular it will replace rom and kernel.
factory reset first, then in samfirmware find your model and install it by odin and fix all

This...
It's very rare that a rooted, ROM'd and kernel'd phone will gradually stop working because of that customization.
I've long remembered one post somewhere here that as long as the phone switches on and powers up (regardless of boot loops, black screens or otherwise) As long as you can get to Download mode, you'll find a way to get through.
As everyone else said, flash the stock ROM (making sure you got the right one for your country or the modem might be rendered useless) and fingers crossed you'll be on the pathway to stability. Good luck!
So I attempted to flash the renegade rom...do not think this has anything to do with that in particular, but now I'm stuck on the screen that says the software was not installed correctly. Holding down the power, volume up and home buttons will get me back to odin but when I try to flash anything in Odin (3.10.6), it gets about 20% done and fails. I can't get into the stock recovery again. Before this happened, I was on stock OI1 and had developer options up and bootloader option on , I tried to flash TWRP but kept getting an error, then I had flashed the unikernel (V6 I believe). The phone booted correctly, but the touch screen didn't work. I rebooted several time and tried again, still screen problem. I went into the stock recovery and did a factory reset, booted, screen still didn't work. I went back to odin tried to flash the G920PVPU3BOI1_G920PSPT3BOI1_G920PVPU3BOI1_HOME.tar, but it halted with the fail message at about 20%. Tried again, failed at same time point. Very frustrating because I've successfully rooted and installed multiple roms on my S4 and Evo prior.
At this point I am stuck in the blue screen that says you need to do smart switch to do an emergency recovery, I can get this over to odin, but not recovery. I tried both smart switch and Kies, and both say the phone isn't supported by the software(s). Yes, the drivers were installed prior to. I've tried waiting for the battery to discharge as well, nothing.
I'm at a loss of what to do now. Phone is inoperable and I can't even get into a screen that tells me anything about versions of hardware or software. The barcode is still intact and I can still get into Odin, but nothing more than that. Stock kernel to flash? Why won't odin finish the upgrades? Anything?
The phone is about to go in the trash...Help!

What I would recommend doing is to try using Kies 3 its pretty much Samsung's take on iTunes. It maybe able to help you. Otherwise, try redownloading the latest tar avabile which is: OJ7 also, try Odin v3.10.7

I tried Kies and Smart Switch, but both did not recognize phone. I did manage to find out that TWRP has a sprint variant and that it seems to be incorrectly labeled in many posts. The sprint variant is 2.8.7.0 NOT 2.8.7.1. I managed to flash it in ODIN and now it boots into Recovery, which is a start. I tried applying the renegade rom, but it wouldn't finish and I'm left with a 'no OS detected, do you want to reboot?' from TWRP.
TWRP website isn't much help (but I love that product). At this point, still cannot tell what firmware is on device and where to go from here. I think I may need a recovery of some sort, but don't have. Tried flashing OJ7 tar as recommeded but it continues to fail when it hits the 'system' part of the download.
Still need advice/help....etc.
Since you are now in recovery, wipe everything!
Cache, System, Data, Internal Data and Dalvik Cache. After that, reboot into Odin and try restoring once more in odin. If that does not work, then wipe everything again and try installing Renegade once more.

Thank for the reply. I did just that and after installing Renegade with kernel version 8, three times, the phone is up and running. Really appreciate the help.

You should be able to use odin on your PC tp send an image to your phone.
Lookup, for example, how to root your phone in these threads.
