[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JustArchi:
Firstly make sure that you have working .zip on your internal/external sdcard as it will be required.

From the recovery move to "mounts and storage" tab and click on format /system /data /cache /preload and if you have .zip on external sdcard also /sdcard.

Now you can install rom and everything should be fine.

BTW I suggest to stick with Samsung Base first, as it's proven to be stable and working. But it's up to you.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Digitalstone:
Ok, i will use the format method like you said.

I have no external sdcard so there's nothing to be done there.

One thing that's bothering me is that i should flash a new rom (Samsung's stock TouchWiz which i'm going to download) right from the recovery.

But, from how i see it, there's no way around than doing it from odin since i can't just put something onto my phone's storage like you do with the folder app inside the system.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JustArchi:
Yeah I totally forgot that you can't connect internal sdcard with pc while being in recovery.

So basicly yes, you should flash some original soft from Samsung through Odin and eventually later put anything on your internal sdcard.

BTW it's much easier if you could find any external sdcard actually. You don't have to flash through odin then.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mindu99:
I had the same problem here on my galaxy s 3...

And here is what i did:

1) go to sammobile.com and download the latest firmware fot your country.

2) download odin.

3) turn your phone on and connect to your pc.

4) remember to have kies instaled (just download it from samsung's website.).

5) extract the file you donloaded from sammobile.com.

6) open odin and select PDA.

7) navigate to where you extracted the fitmware and click start.

8) thats it you are done.

It should take 4/5 minutes to complete.....

Please hit Thanks
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Digitalstone:
Where do i need Kies for? I'm not using it.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oomahey:
KIES is the best bet to install phone drivers.

Ensure it is stopped in the Windows Task Manager before starting ODIN! Else it's a one way ticket to la-la-land for your phone. Good luck, mate! :thumbup:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JustArchi:
Actually on newer windows it's enough to just connect phone to a PC, at least on my windows 7 and windows 8, without needing to install kies-**** ;).
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Digitalstone:
Alright, so i've got a set of new information to digest.

I tried to merge it all together, made up a to-do list and looks like this:

-Download and install Kies

-Making sure that the Kies service has stopped (although i wonder what good it is when it's stopped :confused: )

-Startup Odin

-Connect phone to pc through USB

-Boot phone into recovery

-Go to "mounts and storage"

-Format /system /data /cache /preload

-Reboot into odin mode

-Load the stock rom from samsung with the PDA-button.

-Leave everything else untouched.

-Click "start"

Looks correct?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Digitalstone:
Oh you replied when i was writing my last reply :P

Indeed i thought i read that somewhere.

I think i'll leave Kies out of it then.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Digitalstone:
IT'S ALIVE!!

I've flashed the newest stock rom (Dutch T-Mobile) onto the device.

Thanks to everyone here who helped me with this problem, especially JustArchi. I couldn't have done it without you. I learned a lot too.

All data was lost in the process of course, but at least i saved on an excellent phone (otherwise i was stuck using my old iPhone 4:eek:).

Hey guys, i'm kind of a newbie when it comes to rooting & flashing. here what i did

1. flashed with Odin Siyah-s2-v4.0.1 kernel and all went well

2. went to the cwm to install CM10 after factory reset/ wipe

and then i get stuck on the yellow triangle boot screen with no where to go. i tried few kernels with no luck all compatible to JB

im stuck :/
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] immortalneo:
Please tell us which firmware u are currently on now, and which model do u have?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] immortalneo:
Siyah v4 is not compatible with JB 4.1.2. Siyah v6 is. :)

If you cannot get into recovery menu, try flashing Siyah v6 beta 5 kernel via Odin. Then try to enter Recovery. :)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DiesFrae:
trying this now, after going to recovery shall i install CM10 doing a wipe ? and if i got stuck with the yellow triangle boot what may be causing the problem
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] immortalneo:
Yup, wipe data, cache and dalvik cache in CWM and flash CM10 and then GApps zip. Then reboot.

If you still get into a bootloop, it could be an issue with the CM10 nightly. Check for corrupted or broken file. Or download another nightly.

Good luck!

also got stuck with the yellow triangle boot screen.. btw im flashing cm10 stable
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] immortalneo:
Are you sure its bootlooping? The first boot usually takes time.

Try doing a data, cache and dalvik wipe again.

Update:

Just re-read ur post now. There is NO STABLE CM10 got the I9100!! Are you sure you downloaded the right ROM?

i had some issues with siyah kernel and cyanogenmod 10.1,

what helped for me was trying another kernel ( dorimanx kernel v 8.13 ) in combination with cyanogenmod 10.1

i cant find the download link for the dorimanx kernel v 8.13 maybe someone could post it here for you.

http://www.get.cm/?device=i9100 here u could find the dorimanx 10.1 firmware

Good Luck
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stopro:
Mate 8.13 is not for cm10.1 its for stock/custom 4.1.2 , cm10.1 is 4.2.2 right kernel is 9.13.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] immortalneo:
That wouldn't be a problem here mate, because when flashing CM10, Siyah kernel is replaced by the stock CM kernel. :rolleyes:

Guys

I've made backups of two roms using cwm 6....it makes backup in 2 folders... One backup and one blobs folder... The backup folder is only 13 mb while max data is there in blobs folder which is common to both the backups.... So how can i separate the two coz i want to transfer one of them to my pc...

Thanks in advance :)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] D™:
Blobs are folders with different applications and files. So better to take backup with both of folder. Be careful, If any file would be missing, you would lost whole backup. BTW, if you want then Just restore your that backup & select format in CWM backup in recovery. i.e. .Tar format.

Then delete blobs Using CWM & take backup. Save it..simple.:angel:
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] ashish.kmc08:
Will use cwm 4 from now.... Its simpler:p
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] D™:
Yes you can..But V6 has lots of options then V4
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] Adam77Root:
You can create tar backups in CWMv6. It's much simpler.
