After 7th step just switch off phone by pulling out battery. Then go to download mode & then start from 8th step. It is as simple as that. Dont worry

Unable to install LF2

Hello friends,
I had been running LF2 for the past few months successfully but i had installed Frankenstein's Mod which i did not prefer over stock due to stability issues. Now when i reflashed LF2 with the PIT file, My device doesnt boot up and keeps restarting after showing the Samsung page. I had to install XXKPQ which is Serbian i suppose to successfully recover my device and it updated to LE4 via Kies.
I am having stability issues now with LE4 and extremely poor battery life.
Please can anybody guide me how do i get back my LF2 again so please tell me which ROM should i Flash before
Thank you!

If you want stability and battery life, perhaps XXKPQ is for you.. the best ROM in my opinion is XXKPQ and JPKPH

[help] i9003 stuck in boot loop

HI,
i've been wanting to root and install custom roms on the i9003. i finally got the courage to try to root and do all these things recently, so i rooted the phone using superoneclick.. but i didnt know what to do next, because i wanted to try out custom roms because of what i have been reading on the forums.
so i followed the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19442301&postcount=1 and flashed the bagaria.tar found here using ODIN.
but it started looping and kept rebooting over and over again. and got stuck in bootloop. eventually it came up and would respond a bit before going back to the booting sequence, and i noticed that opening CWM automatically sent the phone to booting.
thinking that i did something wrong and afraid that i bricked the device i went to this thread and looked for the dxkp9 stock and used odin with it (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1004647)
it just is stuck on boot loop now.
i've tried removing the battery and trying holding the VOLup home and power to no avail.
its just stuck in boot loop.
It is currently stuck in boot loop and wont do anything. i am really hoping it can still be fixed.. a bit of a sentimental value since this was a phone given to me by my dad, and first smartphone as well..
i would be very grateful for any kind of help.

After flashing step 1, did your phone restart/reboot normally?..what was asking for password? "everything goes well" for step1?

after flashing the files (pda modem etc.) the phone rebooted. but now is asking for a password go further. and when i tried to enter recovery and set it to factory settings it also asks for password before wiping the divice. tried a few times but with no success.

Greetings;
I didnt read all the stuff before...
So my answer may not be the best or accurate. (I'm almost out of time - sorry for that).
Either ways this happens to me when you don't perform a clean Flash (Formating Partitions before Flashing, wiping dalvik and cache) and after Flashing; performing a Factory Reset).
After the last step (Factory Reset) it should boot properly.
If not: Remove Battery, place it back and test if it boots.
From my experience: Downgrading ROM also do this issue. But i fix it by Flashing FULL DDLF2 (always with "clean flash") and then after my ROM Boots; Flashing the ROM i want to use.
Hope this helps.

When i flashed the first step my gt i9003 sl went completely blank except a bright light. Any solution or suggestiom
