So you're stuck at the Samsung Galaxy SII loading screen? Is that right?
If that's so, use this to get back to stock and proceed from there (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1394332)

Yes thats correct, thanks, but I can revert to ANY STOCK ROM!!eg31, eg30, ect... But wen I try to flash another rom weather its calukin.s rom, starburst rom or midnight rom I get stuck at the galaxy s II screen... So I can flash a stock rom!!
I just cant flash A CUSTOM ROM!! Im rooted and everthing on stock I keep trying n nothing happens!

Are you sure that you're rooted? Perhaps you should try again. What method did you use to root the device originally?

Thanks again for your reply... I used the auto root method posted by sfhub... I used his method to root as soon as I got my phone! I hate stock.... Ok so if this helps im on eg30 modem, kernal, rom all is stock!! With root

It sounds like the conflict is somewhere in your /data partition. Have you tried resetting your /data

To make it easier, I suggest using the Calkulin format script found here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1332837)

Yeah i did this (format all.zip) i google and used the search key before i posted this im giving this an all day shot... Question do u know any roms other than stock in .tar format so I can flash in odin??? I think that might work, worth a shot

Problems after flashing ROM!!!

I have a rooted Spice Mi-310 with Android 2.2 and I had market compaitibliy problems and for that I have done everything like changing build.prop, trying some apps like modder pro and etc.
All were failed then I talked to my friend about this and he said that you should upgrade your OS. So I thought downloading custom ROMs from ROM Manager from ClockworkMod will help and there I tried to backup my cuerrent ROM but my ROM was not in the list so I tried backing up or flashing up Google Nexus S ROM because I thought that I have changed my build.prop to Nexus S so this will work and it worked too.
And now my Camera is not working it is showing that "Cannot Connect to Camera" and now the battery is also not working properly.
Then I wanted to reset my Factory and now that also not working.....
Please help me. Helpers will be GREATLY APPRICIATED BY THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART.

if you can enter in clockwork mod then you can wipe data and cache...its problem with the rom that it doesnt support your hardware.....
you can get the stock rom service from spice website i think

Will it work after Uninstaling?

Sorry but there is one more problem:
I have one more problem that I have cleared download cache of ROM manage.....
But should I clear cache from setting>applications?
and i also found that there is nothing like wipe data option in ROM Manager but I found it on Titanium Backup so should I Wipe Data from it?

try flashing the stock firmware via odin...this may be your best solution!

Do a factory reset and dalvik and system wipe from recovery.
Then flash stock rom.

I think there's a command line to input through ADB on your pc to your phone, search it. Your best bet is to use toolkit 3.0 for note 2.

Error 7

Hi guys how come evertime I try to install a custom rom its gives me the Error 7 (Status 7 Error). Have anyone encountered this before? How do I fix it? I tried updating my CWM but still, nothing works, I tried to install Cyanogenmod 10.1 and DarthStalker but it gives me that error. Help please, Thanks in advance :thumbup:

What version of CWM are you using? Number, please.
Do you currently have a ROM on the phone? If you go into About phone from the system settings, what phone model does it say you have?

Its says I have SGH-T999
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

Are you updating CWM with ROM Manager?
Factory reset, wipe cache, and you should be able to install any ROM without any issues.

Yes I updated my CWM using Rom Manager

I've had this happen many many times. Check the MD5. Its more than likely a bad download. Try re downloading it again.
Try transferring the download from PC to your phone. And try to flash again.

Most likely you tried to flash some rom which was not 100% compatible with your phone.
If you can get into CWM or TWRP recovery just do a factory reset/wipe cache/wipe dalvik cache.
Do NOT wipe or format SYSTEM . This should allow your phone to boot completly.
Be sure NOT to try flashing the same rom which gave you the error 7.
If you are still having problems then continue reading...
If you have a cwm/twrp backup (nandroid) of your previous rom go back into cwm or twrp
and restore your nandroid backup.
If you don't have a nandroid backup but you do have a proper zip file custom rom saved to your sdcard
then you can flash the rom making sure you first do a factory reset/wipe cache/dalvik and system.
After that you can start over again but be sure to make a nandroid backup first.
If you still have problems after doing the above you will need to ODIN flash the stock-rooted
Samsung Galaxy S3 T999 Jellybean v4.1.1 firmware.
P.S. You would NEVER get an ERROR 7 if you would only flash stock based "Samsung Galaxy S3 T999 Jellybean v4.1.1 custom roms"
instead of those CM/AOKP/AOSP or Ported roms.
Good Luck!

First of all, make sure that you redownload the ROM, check that the MD5's match, and that you are indeed on the latest CWM recovery.
Secondly, I've heard of these status 7 errors, even when on the latest CWM recovery. There's times when installing certain ROMs where these errors occur, which usually happens when the ROM’s updater script file checks to see if the phone model of your phone is compatible with the ROM you are installing and this portion of the script are called “asserts”. with this it prevents you from accidentally flashing a ROM intended for a different model.
Normally you can fix the issue by installing TWRP recovery but there's another possible solution for this if the TWRP method doesn't solve it but take some serious precaution. You need to be very careful and do this at your own risk.
Follow this step by step guide
http://highonandroid.com/android-roms/how-to-fix-status-7-error-with-cwm-recovery-on-rooted-android/
Following this will remove the asserts thus removing protection upon flashing the wrong ROM. Do if you choose to follow this make absolutely sure that the ROM you're flashing is for the T999.

Status 7 errors can very well still occur through CWM recovery on stock based ROMs.. It mostly all depends on the ROMs updater script and if the dev accidentally made an error within that, which is why the asserts would normally correct that error by forcing the ROM to be flashed regardless.

Everyone, Thanks for helping me out, I flash back to stock firmware, I found out that I rooted my phone the wrong way (Qbking's Video). I tried rerooting but I used a different method and updated CWM, now works completely fine, Thanks for all your help!! :thumbup::thumbup:

Have you tried booting to recovery, then doing an advanced wipe (system/data/cache/dalvik) and reflashing rom/gapps?
What version of recovery are you using?

yes, i have. I also got back to stock, used an older recover, flashed with an older version of CM and nothing. I first was using CWM 6.0.3.7., after that I used 6.0.4.3, then an older version of TWRP but nothing. I also tried booting to system without flashing gapps.
With stock ROM everything works just fine.

Well, thank you, but it didn´t work.

it happened to me the same thing months ago. never had solution. still in waiting. attempt internal and external SD format. and followed the same. I hope someday they can come up with the solution! : (

i have the same problem too

I try to install multiple ROM 4.2.2 and I could only install one version AOKP Milstone JB1. I also worked the other. however all 4.1.2 rom if I worked. I could not install any 4.3 and 4.4 now does not know what is the problem but I've tried everything! anyone found the solution yet but I see I'm not the only one! (excuse my bad English, not my language )

Well you all are right, I am also using shadow mastery (stock rooted rom). Just because I had the same problem sometimes stucking and rebooting and sometimes after going in gallery. Even I can't use 4.3 and 4.4 roms. Anyone have to contact with room developer or someone who know about this problem.

You might want to find an Official T-Mobile or Telus 4.1.2 or 4.0.3/4.0.4 rom that is Odin flashable, not one that has been custom made/flashable from recovery - then just start over after getting back to true stock, change to TWRP or CWM recovery that is 4.3+ compatiable, root and then flash rom/gapps etc.
