Help.. Phone not booting up after restoring data!! - Samsung Galaxy SL i9003

I have messed up. After installing supersedes , to get my contacts back I restored data from my old normal rom and now the phone is not even booting up. I tried several ways to Atleast install rom again or restore. But nothing is working. When tried to restore, error saying md5 mismatch is coming. If tried to fresh install the rom, it's getting aborted. If rebooted from recovery, it's coming back to the recovery itself. Pls help.

you didnt messed up that badly.... follow these steps and you will get your device running up.
*Download ODIN from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1133787
*Download a stock firmware from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1004647
*Run Odin.
*Set your phone to download mode : Press Volume down + OK first, then hold Power button.
*Connect your phone, you should see Odin shows your phone is Added with COM number.(if it doesnt shows up on the com port then reinstall samsung usb drivers)
*Extract the contents from the zip, You should have a .dll and a 200-300 MB PDA file.
*At this point you should see Re-Partition, Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time unchecked.
*Click PDA button and select the only PDA file in the zip folder (Here you should not touch any of the Re-Partition/F.Reset options as the newer Odin automatically selects it for you, how conveinient!)
*Click Start button to flash these files to phone.
*Do not touch anything till you see PASS on the program window.
*You have your SL working now

[ODIN][UCKD5] Odin - Stock (100% or Root+3e) - (Update 06/05/11)

This will flash the stock kernel, modem, system, dbdata and cache. There's no need for a pit since we do not have any other OS versions to flash yet that would re-partition your device.
Instructions:
1) Make sure the drivers for the Infuse 4G are installed.
2) Please unzip the .zip file.
3) Run Odin3 v1.81.exe (as administrator if you are on Windows 7)
4) Place your phone into download mode (pull battery, press and hold both Volume keys, put battery in and plug the USB cable in)
5) Make sure your phone shows up in Odin as COM##
5) Click the PDA button and choose the .tar.md5 file in the .zip.
6) Press Start.
7) After it completes, it will reboot your device and should boot up like normal. If it fails on flash see FAQ Question 4 below!
There is ALWAYS risk when flashing your device. Unfortunately, I will not be held responsible. Please use this as a means to get back to stock if something happens.
* DO NOT FLASH PIT (PIT not included).
* DO NOT CHECK ANYTHING IN ODIN EXCEPT "AUTO-REBOOT" AND "F. RESET TIME" (should be checked by default)
FAQ:
Question 1: Why does it have .md5 at the end?
Answer: Its in md5 format so in case your download is corrupted, you dont brick your phone.
Question 2: Can I rename it to just .tar and flash?
Answer: DO NOT rename it from md5 format. If it says the md5 sum is invalid, then it will not flash. Just re-download again and try again.
Question 3: Why does it give an error if i try to open in in 7zip/WinRAR/WinZip?
Answer: It should! Windows doesn't recognize when an md5sum is written to the end of a file. Don't panic!
Question 4: It passed the md5sum check, but failed writing on factoryfs. What do I do?!?
Answer: This is exactly what happened to me. Don't panic. Follow these steps exactly:
* Hold the power button to turn off.
* Make sure Odin is still open.
* Plug the USB cable in and hold the volume keys down at the same time. You will be on the screen with a "Phone ! PC" screen.
* Press Start on Odin.
* Once it completes, it will boot up into recovery. Don't worry about wiping cache or user data. Just choose "Reboot Device".
This flash takes quite a long period of time due to the size of the files. I'd say it took me 5 - 10 minutes for the flash to complete. Be patient! Afterwards it booted up with recovery, and chose Reboot Now.
Thanks:
* codeworkx - for the advice and assistance!
* beatblaster - First tester after a bad framework-res update.
* Realityfalse - Second tester
* dotsad - Third tester
* imnuts - Very Helpful advice and instructions for Odin installations!

Can you wipe all user data and wipe cache from recovery (power phone off via power button or battery pull, hold both volune keys down, then hold power down until samsung appears on the screen and let go of ONLY power)? That should get you to boot.
This happened to beatblaster when we tested. Then he did the data wipes in recovery and booted up fine.
cant get recovery at all. tried all above. pit doesnt work

Was your phone bricked before trying this? If so, how did you brick it?

wasnt bricked. wanted to try odin restore.
how can I clear data and cache without recovery? is there a way in ODIN?

TO get into recovery to wipe data and cache, unplug your phone from the USB cable then make sure the phone is powered off. While the device is powered off press and hold the 2 volume buttons then while holding those 2 volume buttons down press and hold the power button. That will get you into recovery. WHile in there, you can wipe user data and wipe cache. Give that a go.
understood. However, as I was able to successfuly get into recovery by that method before attempting the ODIN restore, It will not enter recovery after ODIN flashed the stock.

Whoa. The only thing I can recommend from here is to try to flash via ODIN again or take the brick back to the store and swap for new. Next time, I'd recommend not fixing anything unless it's broken

[Q] Phone starts always in blue CWM doesn't load any rom

Hello
I was using my infuse running REMICS 1.2a custom rom perfectly fine. In fact, it was so nice that I decided to make a backup of it. I went to rom manager, selected backup, the phone restarted in blue CMW recovery and did the job (supposedly)... but right after that it just reboots into recovery. ALWAYS.
Tried to restore using the backup I just made but it still boots into recovery. Wiped data, cache, devik cache, etc... tried reinstalling the rom using "install zip from sd card".... it clearly installed just fine but it still reboots on blue CWM recovery. Tried many other roms, no luck.
Tried using Heimdall one click, it recognizes the phone but fails. After that when I try to put the phone in download mode it now shows a phone, a yellow triangle and a monitor on the screen and says:
Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.
Now I can't even go into recovery mode. As soon as I start the phone it shows me that message. Opened Kies but I'm not sure what to do.
Downloaded Odin, tried to flash several md5 images (as an administrator) and it fails: "Complete write operation failed".
please help! don't know what to do!
That is another form of download mode...try another usb run the one click again...

[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

great!!! since you can enter download mode I am gonna say you the easiest way to get your phone back in running condition..
*Download ODIN (google for the download link or search here in forums)
*Download a stock firmware from samfirmware (www.sammobile.com/firmwares/) or from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1004647 and extract the downloaded file to .tar.md5
*Install samsung USB drivers.
*Get your phone into Download mode and connect it to PC via usb cable.
*Open ODIN and check if the com port section and turned yellow(this means your phone is recognised by ODIN).
*Once the port section is yellow open the PDA section in ODIN and point the downloaded stock firmware in it.(the firmware file should be of format "I9003DDLF2_I9003ODDLF2_I9003DDLE1_HOME.tar.md5").This format is just for example and it may vary depending on the stock ROM you dowloaded.
*Click the start button.
*Once finished the ODIN com port section will turn green and should report "PASS"
*Disconnect your phone and Power on.. wait for some time as its the first boot so it will take time so be patient.

tweeks are to to edit your build.prop and CWM(ClockWorkMOD) which allows you to create a backup point which you can restore via recovery and also let you flash ROM,MOD,etc and SuperUser is the app which comes into play after rooting which give root access to your phone/apps.
@themes:since you are on stock you can download any launcher like go launcher from market and download themes from there
so, how can i install jb or ics themes on my phone, I just want theme not the whole rom. or is there any custom gingerbread rom(stable like stock rom) for installing jb themes..? :0

I have downloaded the frankenstain rom for flashing,But when I try to enter in recovery mode The screen fades and restarting normally. Is there any other settings for installing a rom..?
BTW when I opens the CWM in my menu it shows 'this version of CWM manager should be used with CF-ROOT v5.0 or newer.It appears you are running on a different kernel. Various features have been disabled.' Is that the problem with the kernel i have rooted..?

To enter recovery mode you should press Volume UP+Home Button+Power Button.press it long enough till samsung logo passes by.. and even my screen fades when I try it manually... try it for 4-5 times till you enter in recovery and dont worry when screen fades,its not an issue...
maybe your kernel is not compatible with the present version of CWM and since its not compatible some features might have been disabled and its no big deal....Custom ROM is zip and should be flashed via recovery so that you can wipe data/cache/dalvik..

if you have a CWM recovery then you can go to recovery.. wipe data/cache/dalvik.. the flash rom then again wipe cache/dalvik and reboot... the first reboots always take more time so be patient

[Help] Galaxy Tab 2 P3100 randonly rebooting. Can't flash roms or factory reset.

Hi,
I'm having hard times trying to fix my tablet. Here are the specs:
Model: GT-P3100
Android: 4.2.2
Kernel: 3.0.31-CM
Cyanogenmod v.: 10.1.2-p3100
Recovery: 6.0.1.0
OEM Data Cable
The problem is: The tablet is randomly restarting. So I've tried to flash some roms (Cyanogen12, 13, STOCK Rom) via External SD Card. None of them worked. (Installation aborted, no error messages). Whenever I uninstall any app using the Android App Manager, it uninstalls but then installs again after a few seconds. I already did factory reset, wipe cache, dalvik, .. and even wipe /system, /sd, .. partition didn't work. It always boots on Cyanogen with the same apps installed. Inside the '0' folder there are other folders just like an infinite loop(the same folders I have in the root folder, I have inside the '0' folder, and inside that folder, another '0' folder containing the same files.
Then I did install TWRP using Odin, the device was recognized and the PASS message appeared sucessfully. After the reboot, CWM was still installed and I couldn't load the TWRP Recovery.
Whenever I try to use Kies, a connecting message appears but never ends.
Can anybody help?
my beloved friend,
in odin options remove the Auto reboot option
then flash the twrp
( the device wont reboot)
when it goes PASS
remove the battery and put it back
press the buttons to go to twrp

Still got CWM installed...
It seems my SD is somehow write-protected. I've tried to do a "NAND erase all" but it fails after the "erase..." message.
When I connect the tablet to my Notebook, I can delete/write files. in the Internal Storage. Very weird

9 - Waited 10 seconds and plugged in again.

Yes, I'm rooted. Sadly, the tablet reboots whenever I try to install an Application (Via Playstore or Apk).
I already did try installing TWRP using ADB Shell(direcly inside the mmc block) but CWM keeps being the recovery.
Trying to do a Nand erase, I've got an error, as you can see in the attachment.

Mate, pit may kill your device or mess up the phone it it was lucky to boot.
To let you know, nand erase will require you to load the firmware
Please don't do an erase, lucky that your phone booted, please uncheck repartition
And band erase
You said you are having problem installing apps,
When did this happen?
After flashing pit?

No, it was included in the initial problem(random reboots), that's why I'm trying to recovery the Tab. This is my uncle's tablet, he said he didn't do anything unusual lately. The cyanogen mod was installed by a technician, a long time ago.
I'm 99% sure it's EMMC problem related, as -Hope- told me via Discord.
For more information, see: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-2/general/discussion-alternative-tab-2-emmc-bug-t3306862
I would like to thanks -Hope- for all the efforts trying to revive my Tablet . I said before and I'll say again, you are a GREAT person!! Really thanks buddy!
