I think it should be clearly said that one has to wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache after flashing stock rom... The tutorial videos only show upto flashing stock rom... No one says that if u dnt wipe after flashing, its worthless...

Do a cache clear and factory reset.
If it doesnt help flash ddkp3 twice and do a factory reset...
Sent from my GT-I9003 using XDA App
You should do a factory reset and cache partition wipe from the recovery mode. It is more advisable than flashing with DDKP3 version. If the problem persists, flash with it!
if i flash a new gingerbread rom will my data be erased ? should i take backup with cwm but if i restore it it comes to the same rom and all ?
Ya by flashing you will loose all the data... use titanium backup to backup apps

I would try reflashing the ROM or restoring a nandroid backup. Be prepared to possibly lose your personal data and apps though, as you may have to clear them all.

Maybe try another ROM, I know most have upgraded to 4.2.2, but there may be a couple different ICS options. If you have CWM, there is an option to mount USB, I think you could use that to get another ROM on your phone

Have patience,wait for 10-15 minutes.
First of all, you shouldn't have used Rom manager. It bricks our device
Read the guide in the top of general section and install a proper recovery from odin.
Maybe the zip you have downloaded is corrupted. So download it again and try.
Make sure you are on official gingerbread(2.3.x) and not froyo(2.2)
If none of this works,there is something seriously wrong with your device.
But don't worry,you can flash stock via odin and revert back to factory state.

^flashing stock rom

And try Jana rom,official cm7, minicm7 at first because they boot very fast
And you cannot flash roms via odin. Odin is only for flashing stock firmware and recovery
I read that with 4 file package we can flash ROM (Official ) via odin,
In my case do I need to flash official firmware and then try Custom ROM or not
Kindly send a link to download 4 file package of stock firware

Which customize ROM?
For customize ROM you need with ODIN instal Clockwork Mod Recovery (CWM).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1339640
Now you can install custom ROM. Go in CWM and go on wipe data reset, wipe cashe partition in Advanced wipe dalvik cashe. Install ROM and again go on wipe data reset, wipe cashe partition and in Advanced, go on wipe dalvik cashe. Reboot phone. It need wait about 5 minutes for system up.

When u are flashing any custom rom over the stock rom for the 1st time then u *should* necessarily wipe /system otherwise you'll get hanged up forever on that android-text/boot-up screen.

Stock ROM work on your phone?
Bro! Goto "mounts & storage" & select "format /system"...(if u haven't done yet). Then try flashing custom rom. & always use cwm recovery by tjstyles v5.0.2.7
Let's hope for the best...:thumbup:

Do this straight away:-
1. Flash Froyo 2.2.1(4 package) of ur country.
2. Then flash Gingerbread 2.3.6(one package) of ur country.
3. Then flash cwm via Odin.
4. Flash the custom rom thereafter.
Since it seems a bit complex issue, u need to try this to ensure zero errors.:sly: Btw u can try above steps in ur spare time.
As for me, I always try all methods that I know b4 concluding anything.

Reboot to recovery, Wipe cache.
I did it no use...
What about sending it for repair again, then when it comes back do a nandroid restore of your data only (not system and other partitions), see whether that works.

Thanks for the answer but u didn't read what I wrote. I've downloaded one from sammobile but it contains only PDA file and after installation it gets stuck in SAMSUNG logo and doesn't turn on. Someone told me that I need a ROM with all PIT,PDA,CSC files to downgrade. And thats what Im asking for - for a rom with all the three files.

You're on 4.2.2 and want to revert to 4.1.2.When you flash the stock 4.1.2,go to stock recovery and make a factory reset and then wipe cache partition.
