So I followed all of the instructions on the first post Android Open Kang Project | July 15 | Milestone 6:
Make sure you're on the latest CWM
MAKE A NANDROID
flash Darkside Superwipe
flash ROM
flash Gapps
flash Darkside Cachewipe
reboot
let phone sit for approximately 10 minutes
reboot
enjoy!
After letting my phone sit I tried to reboot it but it's just sitting here at Reboot phone and a little circle to the left of the text saying "Rebooting .. . " It's been on this screen for at least 15 min.
What should I do now?
if i was in your situation, i would just force shutdown( if that doesn't work ) pull the battery.
boot into recovery, flash darkside cache wipe, and then test if it still gets stuck when rebooting.
if it still hangs, boot into recovery and redo the whole process.

I appreciate your reply but how do I reboot into recovery if I can't reboot?
You can either hold the power button down for ~10 seconds or pull and replace the battery. If holding down power works, immediately press down volume up and volume down to get it into recovery. Otherwise do it after you put the battery back in.

Do I continue holding down the power button while pressing the volume up and then down buttons? or release and then push? And when do I push the volume buttons?
Press and hold volume up and down, press power until your phone vibrates, and keep holding the volume buttons until you're in the recovery menu.

Awesome! that did the trick I'm in recovery!
I'll just redo the whole process and then hopefully it'll work then.
For the wait ten minutes then reboot step am I supposed to just wait that the getting started page and then reboot or should I sign in and everything then wait and reboot?
I re did everything now it's just hung up on the Restoring screen. . .

or is it stuck on the boot screen animation?

bro
it is restarting non stop
what shall i do else ???????????????
1) Take out and reinsert battery.
2) Hold down volume down and power button, release power button but keep holding down 'volume down' button.
3) Phone will boot into bootloader, use volume up/volume down to navigate and power button to select. Choose 'factory reset'.
BTW, are you running as stock unrooted ROM or a rooted custom ROM? And do you have a recovery installed? (ClockworkMod or 4ext). If you have recovery then you can boot into recovery from the bootloader and in recovery choose 'factory reset (wipe data)'.

Hi everyone...
I'm running the SlimBean 2.9 rom with the latest ktoonsez kernel, and I tried running the Odex Me apk from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1839445
After about 15 minutes of it sitting at the boot screen, I figured I'd just give up, pull the battery, boot into CWM and revert to the backup I made just before... except it won't boot into CWM. At all. I hold down VolUp+VolDown and Power and let go of power once I see the Samsung logo as per usual, and it just continues into booting SlimBean. I've tried letting go of the power button at different times to see if it was just a timing issue, and I can't for the life of me figure out why it won't boot into recovery. It also just sits at the boot screen, so I can't get to recovery from my power menu.
I've searched for other people mentioning the same problem, no luck. I'd post this directly to the Odex Me post, but unfortunately I haven't posted 10 times to XDA and aren't able to post to the Development forums.
Is there any way I can restore my phone to that back up without booting into recovery via the hard keys? What's the resolution for a situation like this? Thank you for your help in advance!
Hold volume up for recovery. Volume down is for download mode.
Or get goo or rom manager and reboit recovery from within the app.

You know what, I'm a huge dumbass. Recovery is VolUp + HOME + power... (facepalm)
Mods, if you wanted to delete this threat, I would be totally into that. Thanks!
No worries. You are at least the 5th person to do the exact same thing today. Probably were more that I just didnt see!

Calm down. And no need to open a new thread everytime.
Pull off the battery and boot in stock recovery by pressing "volume up+homme button+ power button" when Samsung logo appears release power button but keep pressing the other two.
You will be then in recovery.
Select wipe phone/factory reset
And wipe cache. After that select reboot.
Phone should boot normally.

I'm absolutely confused with how to root my SGH-T999 properly. I know I'm suppose to use the search function and read everything and anything before I post a thread, but I'm seriously overwhelmed with what's what.
So far, I'm trying to follow this guide, but when I go check the md5, it says it's not a match between the file I downloaded and the md5 # on the download page. I figured that since my phone is 4.1.1, I should use this image, but again, I try to check the md5 sums, but it comes out as not a match.
So I'm super paranoid that I might mess something up and brick my phone.
I'm betting you checked the md5 after extracting it. The md5 on the download page is for the file exactly as you downloaded it.
You don't have to worry about an update 'path'. You can get the latest and flash it as per the instructions.

Oh thank god. Yeah, I was checking the extracted file. Thanks for clearing that up.
One more question: Let's say I want to use CyanogenMod 10. Once I've rooted my phone with this method, I could get ClockworkMod recovery (via ROM Manager from the app store) and download the CM10 mod and install the CM10 that way?

Yes. Make sure you follow all the flashing instructions from the thread. You could also install goo manager and install TWRP and find roms through there as well

Yeah, you can use TWRP or CWM to flash roms. It's preference. You don't HAVE to have CWM to flash CM10.
I never used TWRP, but I'm absolutely content with CWM. Hasn't failed me once. Don't fix what's not broken, right?

Alright ****. I think I messed something up.
I installed ROM Manager and downloaded CM10. I then went through the options of rebooting it and installing. But now it's stuck at a spinning circle with "CyanogenMod" in the center. I have no idea what to do or how to get out of it. I've tried forcing it to power down by holding down the power button or doing the three button press (volume down, home and power), but either way, it just shuts down, vibrates a little and reboots itself back to the spinning logo screen.
EDIT: Ok so I've pulled the battery and went into recovery mode. Then I "wiped data/factory reset" and I think I got it to work now. It seems to be at the CM10 home screen now

Pull the battery. Once the screen is black. Put the battery back and boot into recovery(Vol up, home, and power).
When you installed CM10, did you factory reset, wipe cache, and dalvik cache?

Yeah. That's exactly what I did. Pulled the battery, put it back in, factory rest and wiped data. I'm not sure about the dalvik cache though. Once I got to the ClockworkMod recovery mode/screen, I just went to the "wipe data/factory reset option"
Hi guys
Bit stupid of me.
I rooted and installed recovery then i wanted to wipe the data and start a clean rom - the stock rom, no other rom was ever loaded.
I went into recovery and wiped cache and data etc
I think what I have done is wipe the rom itself and wiped all data.
I can boot up but it sticks on the HTC screen and I can't even turn the phone off from there.
I'm sure this is fixable but it's been a long time since i used adb etc and i am not even sure where or what or the steps to take to get to a point where I can load stock rom back on to my phone. If anyone could throw a few pointers my way I'd be grateful.
Cheers in advance.
Turn phone off by keep the power button down for about 10 seconds, volume down and power together to boot into recovery, install new rom

it won't boot into recovery
Can you get to bootloader.? I bet if you keep trying you will be able to
Maybe try power and volume up to turn off, then hold volume down while turning on

oh wow that worked.. the switching up and down buttons ...how very odd.
So now I can mount a usb with otg cable and load a rom thanks very much
