After using Odin and reinstalling your Stock ROM, Hold Volume Up + Home + Power, which will bring you into Samsung's Recovery Mode. Do a Factory Reset from there, and you should be able to get passed the logo.
Let me know if that works!

Galaxy s Flashed wont boot

Hi
Please can someone help I flashed my Galaxy s with fyro 2.2 using odin. Since i done this it wont get past the screen that has the "S" on it gets to that then switches off.
I have tried flashing it with other firmware still get the same issue.
What am i doing wrong?
cheers
Try factory resetting through recovery. That fixed the S hang for me.
Did you have any lagfixes enabled before flashing?
I dont think i had any lagfixes enabled.
How do i reset it through recovery mode?
cheers

Using the factory reset phone option in Recovery Mode. If that doesn't work, flash a fresh stock ROM that contains DBDATA, such as XXJPU.
thanks i will give this a try and let you know how it went

Firmware Flash Fail

Hey All,
I flashed Jamal's Google Edition ROM, but now i wanted to go back to stock touchwiz rom.
So i downloaded official firmware from sammobile and flashed it trough odin.
It succeeded and started to boot
But then every app started crashing and the phone kept telling me this and that ended.
So i Flashed it again, only this time it got stuck on system.img.ext4
it wouldn't go passed it...
So after 10-15mins waiting i just unplugged and tried to flash again, but it keeps getting stuck on system.img.ext4
Any help is much appreciated!!!

You should have done a data factory reset after the first flash bro, that would have solved it. Can you still get into recovery and wipe the caches and do a data factory reset?

ugh (-_-)
now i can't even get into recovery anymore
"Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
EDIT:
I flashed a stock kernel and it booted, but now the device driver installer said the MTP USB-Device has failed to install
>> i'll try to get into recovery now
EDIT 2:
I succesfully did a data/factory reset
but the cache partition fails...
the phone reboots and gets stuck on the Samsung GALAXY S4 GT-I9505 screen

Do you have a jig to get into downloadmode? If not, pull the battery and try after a few minutes (5-10) reinserting the battery and you might try again.

Noooooo, not during the flash
Is it done and does it boot? If yes do a data factory reset in settings/accounts/Backup and restore/ data factory reset.

Try to factory reset, and cahce reset, sometimes the rom can't start properly after some modifications, you will loose all your data but that could recover your phone.
Do a backup with a custom recovery before doing that and you can check if that works and after that recover your data.

Try this mate , boot into recovery do a factory reset/Wipe cache and then reboot and Quickly press and hold power+Voldown in order to boot into downloadmode , Flash the stock rom and once its done... the phone should reboot automatically , and then Hold and press Power+VolumeUP that should boot your phone into recovery mode... Now do a factory reset/wipe cache and reboot your phone.. .Before the initial setup, Just dont do anything to your phone for atleast 4 to 5 minutes, Let it settle and then proceed with the initial setup.

Hello,
Yes I have tried that. I can not do a factory reset either is there another fix? I forgot to say that in my first post.

I had a similar issue. It happened after an OTA forced an update.
To get out of it, I went to a linux machine with ADB. I booted the phone into recovery (which was the only place I could get too) and pushed CM11 to it. Flashed it using clockwork and the phone came back.
