Bootloop. Please help! RemICS JB

Hi! Today i tried to update the i9003L of my brother's girlfriend. Ive gad RemICS 4.0.4, wiped data and then flashed RemICS JB. But when its mostly complete, the phone goes off and then automatically turned on. I get a bootloop at the animation. I cant even enter to recovery and flash gapps but still can i enter to the download mode. So i've downloaded a 2.3.6 gingerbread (i dont remember the buold but it starts with UB, from argentina my country) and flashed from odin, it says flash and the phone reboots, but i still have the bootloop problem in samsung logo animation. I dont think i ve messed the sd card because when i flashed the stock rom apears a yellow letters saying wiping data and wiping cache, and i didnt have any error (i guess). I cant enter stock recovery because when i press the vol up home and power button the screen fades to black and then reboots. Please help me, tomorrow i will flash cf root to see whats happening and if my sd card isnt f*cked up i will flash RemICS 4.0.4 again. Thats correct or i need to go back froyo? Please help! Sorry my bad english

You should have noticed that i9003L is not same as i9003, they didn't share same firmware if I'm not mistaken as I found different official firmware for both.

Hey? Sorry but its my first time hearing i9003L and googled it. I think its i9003 our phone. Hold volume first, then HOME button, then last the power. If it reboots to recovery, ur just fine.

Found some information about i9003L in Chile Samsung website.
Based on the site, it's called Samsung Galaxy S Latona
The specs are the same but I'm not sure you can directly flash i9003 rom without some modification.
You can try flashing with kpe+pit first if you can enter download mode.
Beware that in our rom, the build prop stated i9003, I'm not sure whether it will cause trouble in your phone.

I9003 use latona. Also googled it, its the same as our device.
Okay, about the fade to black when opening stock recovery,
After holding the power+home+vol up, when the phone boots, you have to release the power button but don't release the two buttons yet until the recovery is opened.

Open the recovery using steps I said just now, wipe data/cache.
Download firmware XXKPE.
Use Odin v1.8x (not odin 4.x), place latona.pit as pit file, tick the check box repartition. place phone in download mode and plug it in. Start the flash.
After it says pass, unplug and remove battery and place the battery back.
Plug it back in download mode,
Put other files of KPE (Phone, Pda, Boot) and flash. The phone reboots itself.
Also using Odin,
place the Gingerbread firmware on PDA, put the phone in download mode, connect to pc and press start. After a while the yellow/green(whatever color it is) square in odin will show "PASS" and the phone reboots itself. You can unplug the phone.
Poof! The phone is now functional.

Hi! Thanks! i fixed the phone (uff...), first i tried to go to stock GB, flashed ok and ODIN sayed "PASS", but i have a bootloop again, so flashed CF-Root and i have the screen fading to black again, but, thanks for the advice, ive pressed Power, Home and volume up, and then stop pressing Power, and then the recovery appears!! Wiped everything and i've flashed the RemICS 4.0.4, rebooted and works! i cant belive the phone is working again!. Thanks for the support.
And yes, the i9003L and i9003 are the same phone, the "L" means it has a diferent modem, but the specs are the same and their roms are also the same. Also The L or Latona is for "Latin America"/Latinoamérica. So thanks again and sorry for my bad english!

Why not flash a rom instead of just doing a restore
sent from MY BAD A$$ ET4G

I tried to flash cleanRom v1.1 but that only made things worse, now I don't even get to the Samsung screen. I originally used mobile Odin to get the 4.1.1 update but when I did that I started getting a very bad looking multi colored pixellated screen ( see attached) on boot between the tab logo and Samsung logo screens but it still booted, after attempting to flash cleanrom I get stuck on that same bad looking screen. I don't know what to do at this point, I'm still able to get to download and recovery, I need an android genius to help me please I'm begging you

This is because incompatibility between bootloader and kernel LCD identification. Almost all custom ROM not touch second bootloader Sbl.bin partition because not understand this incompatibility will reproduce this problem or fully understand Sbl.bin partition is a very dangerous area. Flash a full package stock firmware (have MLO and Sbl.bin inside) will resolve your problem.

I got my stock firmware from the thread posted by Sergio_f, does that firmware have those files?
Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk 2

I finally got the stock firmware to flash in Odin, so I am back to stock including recovery, thank you all for your advice, there used to be a great root guide in here somewhere but it seems to have been deleted, is a Shane I really liked the step by step it had

Flash a stock tar in odin. Pc odin.

I have the same issue - please help
What I did:
My device Samsung Tab 2 P5113 was on bootloop. I do not remember which version of Android was running on it. So, I followed this forum and using ODIN flashed 4.1.1 stock ROM. The ODIN process was successful. Device restarted -but stuck in starting process. Instead of waiting for couple of more minutes, I powered off the device and then tried to restart it.
It didnt start. It is completely black, even after connecting to PC, no change, my pc not able to detect the device in Device manager.
I am guessing I have flashed wrong Stock ROM 4.1.1 instead of ICS stock ROM. What should I do? I cannot redo this step because ODIN is not recognizing the device.
PLEASE PLEASE help.

Are you trying to charge from a wall outlet or usb.
sent from MY BAD A$$ ET4G

I tried both wall charger and USB charging - no impact.
However, I press Power + vol down button, in device manager it is showing as OMAP 4440 (no drivers installed).
Will there be any chance to make work from here..? Point me any post who used OMAP flash recovery for P5113. I didnt find one.
thanks.

Does your tablet turn on? If it doesnt, you have hard brick :/

when you put the battery the phone auto turns on?
when it reboots it vibrates everytime?

Connect your phone to charger once it vibrates for the first time when you boot into recovery mode.
And do you have root access?

Guys did you solve this issue?

2 years passed... this brings some memories
yeah basically your power button is broken, just think about it. Think that your power button is always being pressed, that explains why it keeps rebooting and it autoboots. Just go to a service to request button change, shouldn't be expensive. Or you could try inspecting it yourself, maybe just some dust got in (usually its dirty there)

buddy, you can try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2426426
you should to whatever you can so you flash stock using odin, by stock i mean EVERYTHING including bootloader, recovery etc.
if odin gives you error, try to find out if its because of your phone or your pc, as odin tends to give a lot of errors based on drivers and usb ports.
in the case neither a full wipe on the system and all partition works, its totally a hardware issue.
honestly im pretty sure now that its a hardware thing, but the least i can do is to make you try the full wipe
edit: forgot to tell you about the power button.
if you say it didnt autobooted after checking it still could be the button, as when you powered the device up you still used the button which probably got stuck again and continued his buggy purpose.
to fix that , you should follow something like this www(dot)youtube(dot)com/watch?v=3Glllc7bEJs but specifically for the ace plus. I dont know if its connected or soldiered because i no longer have the device so cant help you here

[Q] Very Interesting...

So my ATT variant Note Edge decided to quit working on me unexpectedly yesterday. All had been going well and with no warning it rebooted at 80%. A bit of its history:
Phone has been my primary work and play phone for over 3 years
I switched it from ATT to Cricket several months ago and it has been working fine.
I have been using an extended battery in it for about a year because the OEM battery was rapidly draining and would shut down when reaching anywhere from 50% - 30% charge.
What it is now doing:
Rebooting continually and either freezing at the splash page and rebooting or after several reboots it will get to my homepage, but then reboot a few seconds later.
Blue blinking light by upper speaker continuously blinks despite having black screen
What I have done:
let it reboot continually and try to get into setting when it finally gets to my homepage- no luck
rebooted it to recovery mode- it states "installing system update" then freezes and reboots OR states "no command" with a fallen Andy
Attempted to access the phone through Find my Phone in Google- set it to wipe phone- didn't work.
After several attempts it was able to reboot into recovery so I factory wiped the phone(including partitions). Still continuous rebooting.
took out SD card thinking it was corrupt- no difference
Taken battery out for minutes to hours
Any other suggestions? thanks!
I have never done a firmware flash through ODIN and have no clue how.

Looks like you might want to flash official firmware with odin or use smartswitch recovery. Id go with the odin option

So I went to Sammobile and when I search for the ATT firmware it is telling me the device model is not found. what is the official ATT firmware for the US I can use?

Then use Google and search n915a firmware ... xda is the first link that comes up

So I downloaded 6.0.1 and flash through ODIN. it went through the process fine and installed, however phone continues to reboot. At one point the phone rebooted and I was able to sign in to my Samsung account. that was as far as I could get. I have tried several versions of the firmware and the same result. Continual reboot. at times I cannot even get into recovery mode.
I think my phone has finally bit the dust

Try rebooting while connected to power supply

Samsung core plus G350 bricked on downloading mode

Hello guys!
This is a kind of newbie question. My daughter gave me its samsung galaxy core plus g350 because it was impossible to boot. It stayed on a picture of a grey battery. I try to fix it by flashing a new rom with odin. Stupidly, I do that from a laptop with an antivirus. Flashing stopped. And now, the grey battery is changed by the infamous yellow triangle and the message "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue..." . I've still access to the downloading menu. Then I've tried again from another desktop PC, many different rom, full rom, versions of odin, even a thing called cwm. Each flash, Odin says it is a success, but nothing changes. I've even tried Kies.
I've only the downloading mode and it is said on the first line :
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SM-G350
CURRENT BIN: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: custom.
My question is simple. What is the status of my phone? Hard or soft bricked? Is it a way out? For example, I've read that for hard bricked, changing the motherboard is a solution. But before that, I will be please to read your advice.
Thanks a lot for anybody who can help
