Hi, I've decided to go back to stock so I flashed the 2.3.6 MD5 file via odin. The flash was successful but when the phone booted up, all i get is FCs and cannot go any further. tried flashing 2.3.5 and 4.0.3 and both ended up with the same results.
does anybody know whats going on?
Not sure what you did wrong or why it's acting up, but odin this one instead

It's the official ICS and I Odin back to stock using this yesterday and haven't had any problems with this.
If you want to go back to GB let me know and I'll post some files I have for that, but I'm not sure why you would want to.

Finally I got it to work. I flashed the stock ROM and flashed clockwork recovery immediately afterwards. Then I wiped the data, cache, davlik cache, and fixed permissions.

I don't know what is going on with my Epic Touch. I rooted the phone, added CWN recovery, and then installed starburstROM. After my phone tried to encrypt, my phone would not start up. So I went back to the stock kernel, tried to re-root, and add CWN. Once I install CWN, my phone goes into bootloop. The only way I can get out of that loop is if I install stock kernel or re-root. I would like to reset everything, root, and add a new ROM. I am relatively new at this. Would someone be so kind to help me out?
I am pretty sure I want to install the midnight ROM. So any help finding the right things to install would be appreciated.
I got it working by using versions very similar to stock. Now I am installing midnight rom

Well, I just installed midnight and now it won't turn on. I see the bootup screen but the phone turns off after that. BUmmer, any ideas?
I would flash the stock eg30 tar and start over.

before I install new ROMS, I wipe everything. Factory reset, wipe cache, then flash the new ROM.
As posted above, also flash back to stock eg30 and start over.
I was running Starburst v1.9 and saw a thread on Themes & Apps with ICS transitions. I downloaded both just in case (ICS Transitions & Revert back to stock). I went into Root Explorer and checked my Clockwork/Backup and saw that I had a backup in there. I booted into Recovery and flashed the theme transitions for ICS zip and thus problem began.
I then went to restore to restore the backup and it seems like that file was corrupted because it wouldn't restore. I ended up flashing the revert zip file and wiping my rom. It doesn't boot but I can still get into recovery. I believe that the issue is that the theme was made for the v1.9.5 and I had v1.9 of Starburst.
I was messing around with it and I was able to boot back in and click on the Android to set it up. After a while the phone will go crazy and the screen will flicker on and off. The buttons at the bottom became useless. How can I recover from this.
** I used my friend's Sensation and downloaded v.1.9.5 and threw it on my SD. I booted into Recovery and flashed the ROM and it still won't boot up. Any suggestions? **
The phone booting up I think was a luck of the draw thing. Since then the phone has not been able to boot into the actual ROM. I've been without a phone since yesterday and I'm planning on going into the Sprint store and getting it swapped.
Did you wipe system, data, cache, and dalvik?
THEN reflash the rom?
Yes. I was a flashaholic on my Evo.
I notice another thread in q&a with people the same issue as mines. I'm lost and haven't had my phone working for two days now.
Here's what I did:
Delete system, wipe factory reset, cache and dalvik, flashed ROM.
Could it be kernel related? I'm confused. I have a wedding tomorrow and this couldn't have happened at a worse time. Coincidentally something happened on my At&t dumb phone so I'm phoneless.
stupid suggestion...is your battery low?
with the evo it would see corrupted if the battery was low. may not apply, but hey its a shot.
if you cant figure out, theres always Odin to cure your issues
ReDL the ROM and reflash. Try mounting USB storage while in recovery. Alternatively, Odin the stock .tar for a full refresh.
If you've already retired reflashing I'd go with odin back to stock

I will flash to stock and re-root.

Hi, this is my first post so please be patient with me
Today I finally decided to update my Nexus from 4.0.4 to 4.1.1 up till now I have been running ARHD.
I decided to flash the new MinCo ROM, everything went smooth, I did a Nandroid backup and used Superwipe Light.
Then flashed the ROM via CW, the phone booted fine and I restored my apps and I thought everything was fine till I checked the system information. There it says I am running 4.1 and no mention of MinCo ??? It shows Francos Kernel though
Did I just out myself as a noob or what went wrong ?
Help is much appreciated
PS. Love XDA :fingers-crossed:
I just looked at the build.prop file of my minco download and it shows 4.1.1. in the ro.build.version.release which would dictate what shows up under version. Maybe you downloaded a different rom?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I downloaded the ROM from the official source.
Here are my steps.
1. Downloaded ROM, Gapps
2. Backed up the phone using CW
3. Wiped the phone using Super Wipe Lite Nexus
4. Flashed ROM using CW
5. Flashed Gapps using CW
6. Rebooted the phone
7. Restored Apps via Titanium Backup
Should I have done a full wipe? I didn't want to loose all my stuff.
Thanks for the help by the way.
Whenever you are flashing a new base you want to do a full wipe. I'm not sure what happened with your download and why it says 4.1 instead of 4.1.1. Probably not worth losing sleep over though.

Ok seems like I have to wipe the whole thing then.
Will post the results later.
Thanks.
So I did a full wipe and flashed the ROM again. This time the System UI kept crashing.
This kept happening over and over again. I wiped and re installed 4-5 times with the same result.
Then I downloaded the the ROM and the bootloader again and flashed it again. This time it worked and it stopped crashing.
The ROM then showed 4.1.1.
I then flashed Gapps and MinCo+ Stock Mod and after reboot it was showing Android 4.1 again!
I really have no idea what is going on ???
I can no longer flash a new rom and boot up successfully. It goes through the entire flash process correctly, but then boots straight into CWM when i restart. I have tried to flashing back to stock via odin, then starting fresh, did a factory reset from standard recovery. I have flashed MANY times prior with no problems. The only way I can get it to boot is when I restore with Odin. Am I missing something? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I tried TWRP and same issue. Boots straight into whatever recovery I have installed. I have never had a problem with CWM before. I was running Serenity 1.1, noticed my GPS wasn't working and reverted back to stock and did factory reset. Ever since, not able to flash. I had flashed a couple of the Sprint leak roms prior to Serenity with no issues.

I don't want stock recovery. I want to be able to flash again. I tried using TWRP after fresh install but still have same issue. Either I boot straight into recovery after flashing rom, or it just sits on the SGS III logo. The only thing I can flash is back to stock either already rooted or plain stock. I am at a loss. I have been flashing with no problems since august and have no idea what the problem can be. I have even tried redownloading the roms.

Well fortunately for you rooting the GS3 is very easy, so do as he says, Odin to stock, re-root and flash. If you are seriously at a loss because you don't want to go through the trouble to be able to flash and root again then I suggest searching forums for someone who might have the same problem.
That's the problem, after flashing back to stock, and re rooting, I have the problem. I cannot flash anything using CWM or TWRP anymore. I am currently rooted and stock. No recovery installed. Not sure what happened and why recoveries are not working. I don't mind flashing back to stock.
Grab a stock image from sammobile.com and try that.

Evidently fifth time is a charm. Restored back to rooted stock, reinstalled apps, twrp and successfully made a back up and restored. Was able to flash Ariel. Not sure what the difference was but back up and running now. Thanks for all the suggestions.
So I was using the stock rom that actually came on the phone, I also have twrp 2.6.3.2 downloaded onto my phone which I downloaded via odin. So I just wanted to see what the darthstalker looked like but realized I wanted to go back to stock. I did a back up before I flashed darthstalker onto the phone, so I went back into recovery and then I did a factory reset and went to restore so that I can go back to stock, and it sent me into bootloops, so I tried again and still no luck. So I unrooted the phone over odin and then the same exact thing. I ended up having to root the phone and having to put darthstalker back onto the phone because no other rom works. Someone please help me get back to stock.

Last I read you can't restore back to stock from recovery. You have to download the stock firmware and flash via Odin to go back to stock.
This thread shows you have to flash back to stock:

You did all the necessary wipes? I have noticed that I only get bootloops when I don't wipe the needed stuff: cache, dalvik cache, System, data. Make sure you wipe those and flash again.
Check the 2nd post in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2467001
when restoring, did you only check "Boot", "System" and "Data"? make sure "EFS" is unchecked... you might also consider flashing jovy23's stock, DeOdexed ROM. there's also newer versions of TWRP; i'm currently using 2.6.3.7 and have no issues backing up/restoring. hope you get it sorted out!

Flash back to stock odin .... make sure next time using twrp don't wipe the system data ... that deletes the OS of the phone ... The phone is trying to boot but since it was formated it has no boot img ..
