so i have read and read and finally decided to try to flash the jugs 4.1 rom onto my gs2. this was my first attempt at it and i kind of got stuck.
Steps Taken.
Rooted
installed CWM
did a nandroid backup using cwm
booted into recovery
wiped everything even in advanced
install zip from sd card
it says completed and i see no errors
reboot
samsung logo appears quickly and disappears
wait 10 minutes +
try to turn on
samsung logo appears again briefly and then nothing
so after i tried this i went back to my backup and tried again
and again. so then i decided to try a different rom and it worked.
so now back to stock and I'm redownloading the jugs rom and going to
try it again
i know I'm missing something and wondering if someone can help a noob
{MODS DELETE THIS PLEASE}
i got it to work ... 7th times the charm
It shouldn't have taken you seven times ... it work for me in the first try

Well I got a new replacement phone today and I was setting it up how my old one was. I rooted with no prob, installed forever with no problems. Then I went into ROM manager and downloaded the skyraider athena ROM and checked buttons for wipe data/cache and backup. I walked away for about 10 mins so it could do its thing, then it boots into recovery. I clicked REBOOT and it rebooted but went back into recovery again. it wont actually boot up all the way and only goes into CWM recovery. It is version 3.0.0.5 with orange text ( i used to have green,I think)
Please someone help me resolve this, I need my phone for navigation purposes like an hour ago. Please help! Thank you!

You will go back to a stock 2.2, from there try again. Next time you flash the rom, try downloading it from XDA here, put it on your sd card, boot into recovery, then flash. That might cut down on any errors you could possibly encounter.
Flash an older version of CWM, scroll to bottom of page in ROM Manager and pick say 2.0.5, but not v3

Yea you need a diff version of cwm 2505 actually then restore

I had the same issue and formatted my system but same results. So I went back to Calkulin 2.6 let me know if you get a answer to the issue
Did you flast 2.0 first, then 3.2?
After I flashed 2.0 it took me several reboots to get past the logo screen, but after 2-3 reboots and a lot of waiting it did.
yeah same here, either i am in on my phone then i try to reboot, it never reboots on the first try, i have just restart it and it will sometimes reboot. Also do wipe data then flash 2.0 then caulkin then do the blazer bugged 3.2 and it should work, (maybe not on the first retry)
well it all started when i tried rooting my phone, i used the hack ace tool, followed all the instructions and so far through it froze. after so long i decided to pull the plug and take the battery out... when it restarted it all booted up fine and i did the checks to find somehow it had done it
then downloaded cyanogen 7 and put it on with clockwork recovery is it? when it first installed it just boot looped so took out the battery and it started up fine, i had also made a backup of my stock rom which was a orange branded one. i messed around with it for a while before flicking back and forth between the stock and cyanogen when on cyanogen i think i put back clockwork recovery to an older state. after this it wouldnt access the stock rom files so i couldnt revert back to it, assuming it was the clockwork i tried to uninstall it with titanium but it didnt work and had to restart the phone. after that i tried re rooting hoping it would reinstall clockwork like when i first rooted it.
now my phone boots up to the htc screen and i dont know what to do, could anyone give any help?
dl clockwork 5.0.2.0 and flash in recovery.

After trying to flash a new rom after being on AOKP M1 for a little while (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1875923) the phone got stuck at the Black and white Samsung Galaxy SIII screen and didn't boot upon hitting reboot system now on cwm. Tried again, tried reflashing and the whole 9 yards wouldn't boot at all. So I turned to odin and went to the prerooted latest JB build (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1949687) and then reflashed touch cwm and tried to reflash the rom. Same problem. So, I odin'd back to the non rooted UVDLJA. Rerooted and reflashed cwm and blahblahblah. I said hmm maybe it's the rom, I then tried to flash this rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1993934) and when I tried to reboot system now after the process; again the phone got stuck at the black and white Samsung Galaxy SIII screen and did not boot. The phone works fine when I odin it to stock builds but refuses to boot custom roms. Can someone help me here? I haven't been able to find a solution for days. :crying:
PS I'm a noob, don't kill me lol
edit: forgot to include I have the Tmobile variant
Did you wipe data and cache when you flashed the new rom?

a few questions:
and i can verify the issue is something on your end, because the ROM you tried was mine, and nobody has had that issue (not booting it)
do this...
1. make sure you have the latest version of clockwordmod, don't use twrp
2. re-download my ROM (just for sake of not adding any other variables to your issue, because mine should boot)
3. put ROM on external SD card
before continuing... take a quick look at my thread here in QA titled "flashing ROMs correctly every time" .... so you can get some instruction on verifying MD5 of the download... don't worry, the thread will explain that you...
now proceed
4. boot to recovery
5. do a factory reset - 3 times do this, just to be thorough. people will say you don't need to, but like i said, just for the sake of removing variables
6. go to mounts and storage, format system 3 times - (yes, through recovery as well)
7. flash ROM, and reboot
EDIT*** i will say this, ALWAYS format system when flashing a new ROM

thanks for the info, will try this all out soon. I've been flashing roms for years now and have never run into anything like this, and as previously stated, this didn't occur solely with your rom which has me thinking something has happened to the phone itself. will get back to you soon and once again thank you

my point is...
coming from a cm based ROM, or aokp, whatever you said... you would want to format system as well.

I was having some of the same issues. I downloaded XquiziT's Superwipe and ran it by installing from external sd card. I ran it three times to clear everything out, then I wiped data, cache and the rest three times.
No probs for me after that.
Will definitely give that a try as well! Thank you! Will post my results when the holiday is over.
Happy thanksgiving

Hello guys,
It seems I did something stupid and now I cant get into recovery.
I had CM10 alpha 6 with CWM 6.0.2.7. Just to experiment with the stock rom again, I flashed FAW version 3 with the CWM recovery. So I rebooted the phone and everything seemed to went fine.
Then I wanted to flash extra packages for theming etc. But phone can not go into recovery. With the button combination v up, home and power the samsung logo just flashes and phone goes off again. I could get into download mode. But it takes couple of tries.
I tried to flash CWM via adb and it seemed to to be flashed without any errors. But still could not get into recovery.
Do you guys have any suggestions as to what to do? Should I try to flash stock rom via odin and start from scratch? Or do you have a better approach? I dont want to get stuck on sam firmware as I love CM10 .
I am cursing my stupidity. Why do you even want to ecperiment with stock rom.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Edit 1 : OK I took the sdcard off and took the battery out waited 10 to 15 minuted. Tried again to boot into recovery without the sdcard. Voila it worked.
I do not know what did the trick. Was it trying without sd or waiting without battery, I dont know. But happily I am back to CM10. Pheewww...

Edit 2: Ok it seems it was the SD card I had. Again I had the same issue and I could not get into recovery. Moment I take it out, I can get into recovery. For some weird reason the SD card I have causes this issue. I will check with another sdcard soon.
Fiuuh. congratulations bro ..
you add the solution too. it will be a great information for other people
My suggestion would be to delete and then recreate all partitions on the SD Card.
