So I flashed a new rom, did the usual, clear everything, reset/cache/dalvik and flashed the rom. However, when I rebooted the trinity logo/initial startup just stays on that screen forever. I tried reflashing from recovery and it still hangs forever on that screen. Do I have to go thru download mode/odin and get stock/root to be able to flash again or is there a quicker easier way?
Have you tried to restore a nand backup?
Try a factory reset after you flash the new rom.

I tried the reset after flash... and I never do NAND backups T_T. But I never do anything that could ruin it. I just thought there would be a quicker way instead of a compete reset to stock. But o wells, now I can set the flash counter back to 0 and not trip it anymore.

Hi! i recently decided to flash the Modaco Custom rom 3.1.
I wanted a fresh start on my desire, but only after i Flashed it, did i realise it doesn't remove all my apps and data.
So went to settings and did the factory data reset thing, but when the phone restarted, it got caught into a reboot loop.
Any ideas on what could causing this, and any ideas on how i can start fresh with the MCR 3.1?
Thnx
Try to first wipe/factory reset your phone via the recovery, and then flash MCR 3.1

O M G ..Thanks - How out of all the things i tried, did i not try factory resetting before i flashed.
But still. Does anyone know why this happened? I mean if i factory reset again. do you think it would boot loop again?
I think it shouldn't boot loop in that case. The problem was probably caused by some stuff that was left over from the previous ROM that you had on your handset.
Hi,
This is my first attempt at flashing ROMs. Any ROM I try gets stuck at boot animation. Only way for me to get out of it is to boot phone into download . Go into TWRP and do system reboot backup restore. I am currently stock VALHU2 rooted. I downloaded Goomanager /TWRP recovery as flash source. I went into browse compatible ROMs and selected the most current CM9 zip and downloaded. After, I went into flash ROMs ,Order & Flash selected. I then checked Wipe cache/dalvik cache partition, checked create backup, but did not check reset factory settings. Is not checking restet factory settings where I am going wrong.Thank you in advace for any input.

You shouldn't need to reset factory defaults. However, I Odin'd UVALH2 Last night and the phone refused to get past the Samsung screen until I did a factory reset.

How did you do a factory reset?
Yes, you do need to do a complete wipe/factory reset when going from Touchwiz to CM9.

Thought so. Thank you.
Hey man you flashing a ROM through Odin or recovery?
Ok so I went back to stock after CM9, all went fine, phone rebooted and does the animation and sound but it won't go any further, I tried getting into the recovery screen but goes as far the little android guy and then reboots. Any ideas?
Reflashed Euro stock and again stuck at boot animation, I can't get into recovery to wipe or anything as it won't go past the little Android guy and reboots any ideas? On my SGS2 what I would of done at this stage is go into recovery and reset all, but can;t do this, gonna try flashing CWM to see if this helps, stock recovery seems fooked.

Hi! You have to flash your phone stock ROM. And then again try to flash the MOD

Have you checked the zip file you downloaded is corrupt or not?
There is a difference 1mb will cause bootlop on your device.

Ok, recorrect.
I missread.
Have u got an SD card?
Just put a new stable ROM in it.
And befoure installing the new ROM wipe factory settings, cache, dalvik cache.
And make sure it is wiped, then install the new one.
Because it might save some setting from that ROM, and they might be corrupted, so it's recommended to wipe those befoure ROM installing, and after, when the ROM is installed already.
And if you can't get into recovery mode, then ur phone might be bricked.
No idea, how to solve that.
Haven't experienced that at all.

If you can go into Download Mode, you can try using Odin to fix things up. Otherwise, your phone is hard-bricked, and only SSC can help.

Hi!
Try to remove the external sd card!!
My phone had a bootloop like this on every custom rom,(also stock rom but with wipe i had resolved).
So try to remove the sd card!
Hi
I was flashing back to Stock from task650 to fix my gps. Well something blew up and when the phone reboots the screen goes black but I hear the AT&T start-up tune. Essentially I can't get to enable USB debugging to reflash. I can get to download or recovery, but there are no files to recover<?> and busybox never got installed.
What do I do now?
Do you have the stock recovery now? If so, try going in there and resetting to defaults. That helps sometimes.
Otherwise, you may need to Odin back to stock if you still want to go stock.

Yes I have stock recovery. Odin is of no use because it hangs waiting for the USB debug to respond. And i can't turn it on because the screen is black and I can't navigate
Do you have a micro sd card? If so, throw a rom on there. If you want to go back to stock, there' a flashable stock zip at the bottom of post #2 in the link in my signature. Under the emergency toolkit section. Flash that, turn on use debugging, do your gps fix and continue on with the task release

Thanks. I created an emergency tool kit on an SD, I wiped data, wiped cache and Davlik and formated system. Flashed the stock rom. When I rebooted it now hung at the Samsung Galaxy S III screen.
How do I get out of this mess?
Try wiping data and cache again in recovery

I've wiped data and cache several times, and format/system. I've even tried to flash CWM 6.0.3.1 and I get a status 7 error. Nothing is taking.I get signature failures.
I re downloaded all the files figuring they were corrupted. Nothing doing. I need some real help, because this is beyond my abilities to figure out.,
Now I've got a red triangle showing up in recovery.

i dont know why some of these things are not working correctly for you. you're seeing the red triangle because you have stock recovery now from the stock firmware zip. you cannot flash anything in stock recovery nor can you format /system. what happens when you boot up after a factory reset and cache wipe?
a couple of your options include either using odin to flash the stock firmware back onto your device or to use odin to flash a custom recovery back and make a move from there.

When it rains it pours. Now I can't get into recovery. I get the empty battery graphic cycling on and off, and its very warm to the touch. I think the battery is not charging.
I tried using Odin and flashed a stock rom but I kept getting verification errors and status 7 errors. Things just are not taking. I fear I've got a hard brick and I don't know what to do to fix it.
I appreciate your help
aaaaand let the questions roll:
you got verification errors in odin? and after flashing the firmware, i'm assuming you then flashed cwm and that's where you were getting the status 7 errors?
at what point did it all go off? i need to know what order you did all of these things.
can you still get into download mode?

No, it won't go into download. I initially flashed stock rom, but I don't think I wiped anything. That was probably the big mistake. I used something called Samsung S3 QCom tool kit to do an initial flash. It never failed me before. And I also flashed a CWM.
I followed your advice and made a emergency SD kit and flashed from there. I did a clean flash several times. Things just never worked and I kept getting those error messages. Then it just got more difficult to get into download. Now it just flashes a drained battery
it might indeed be drained. leave it plugged in for a while and report back.
you were getting the error/status 7 messages after you flashed cwm back on it likely because the cwm wasnt up-to-date.
what was the last thing you tried before it stopped working altogether?
It gets really hot if I leave it plugged in. But it seems like I can get into recovery again. The last thing I flashed was CMW 6.0.3.1. But what is on it now is CMW 5.5.0.4
actually, what you're saying is the last thing you flashed was cwm 5.5.0.4, just via odin not cwm.
if the phone was in my hands, i would:
flash the cwm 6.0.3.1 zip, select advanced and reboot recovery. now you will be in the updated cwm recovery.
perform a full wipe: wipe data, cache, dalvik, format /system, format /data
flash rom and gapps. if you're going to stick with tasks, use the 4/23 release. i'm on that with no feature or stability issues.
wipe data, wipe cache, reboot.
give it a few minutes to boot up.

Well I think I managed it!. First I tried to install an update d/l'ed from Dropbox and that did nothing. Then I flashed an old .tar that was a rooted stock and it rebooted!
I tried editing the updater-script but I couldn't getit to save the changes properly.
Well I will now re flash the RM and CWM and hope for the best
Thanks for all your help, greatly appreciated
I have been having a weird issue. Whenever I flash a rom and it completes, I will reset like normal but it wont boot. It will vibrate twice after the note 4 screen and loop. I have a stock nandroid backup I have reverted back to. Its more annoying then anything trying to figure out whats going on. Any ideas?
What recovery?
TWRP
Flash a stock ROM tar and then do a factory reset in stock recovery. Then reflash twrp and try again.
