Stuck in bootloop after rooting attempt

Hello there, I just tried to root my dads (lol yep) samsung galaxy s.
I used this kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1332412
as the phone stated it has got 2.3.6 on it.
I used Odin, unticked re-partition & Flash lock. Ticked Auto-reboot & F. Reset time.
Ticked the PDA box and loaded the kernel.
After I pressed start Odin said ''All threads Completed (Succed 1/Failed 0)
But after auto rebooting it just kept looping the boot screen.
What have I done wrong and can I fix this without losing any data?
If not, can I flash it too stock. Never any modifying was done with the phone. Rooting was the first attempt.

This is not the right place for your problem,there is Q&A forum
Anyways go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15188469&postcount=9 and download JW4 CF ROOT,Extract it,open odin ,put as PDA the extracted tar and flash.Of course your phone has to be in download mode.
You won't lose any data(hopefully)

it should have worked... anyways if u can enter download mode then u can always flash fresh stock rom and then root it...
EDIT: http://www.theandroidsoul.com/galaxy-s-gets-official-value-pack-firmware-xxjw4-includes-touchwiz-4/
1) follow steps to get latest xxjw4
2) download http://download.chainfire.eu/155/CF-Root/SGS/CF-Root-XX_OXA_JW4-v4.4-CWM3RFS.zip and follow siberian tiger's instructions in 2nd post for rooting ur device
3) PROFIT BRODA!!!

Hm weird. I'm sure I did everything correct.
Anyway, I found out that it did manage to install Clockworkmod and I've backed up everything.
So if i would flash a new rom now and then restore only the data image, would I get back all the data?
EDIT:
My dad was/is (hehe) using a dutch rom, are there any latest dutch stock roms available?

dude if u have cwm recovery then connect ur mob to pc and go to mounts and storage> mount usb storage in cwm recovery and copy imp stuffs to ur pc... abt the nandroid backup u made u can extract apps frm it via paid version of titanium backup... also u can change language to whatever u want frm settings after u flash the new rom!!!

thanks dude that is awesome information. but after flashing the sd card is untouched right? so the backups should stay on there anyway?

Process System isn't responding

Hi
I'm having issues with my I9505 Galaxy S4. The phone was rooted and after trying a few ROMs (Omega) etc I returned to a NAND backup with was basically rooted stock (via TWRP). Over the weekend strange lock-ups kept happening and I keep getting - Process System isn't responding. When I try and make a call the phone either reboots and hands for a minute and returns that error. This morning I have flashed via ODIN a rooted stock rom then a standard stock ROM - both do not fix the issues, I still have the same errors which is odd.
Can anyone make any suggestions ?
Thanks, Nick

if you are rooted, flash custom recovery, format system via recovery, then flash a custom rom or stock firmware.

Sorry, just saw that you did all these already.
You have to be VERY careful. It is already reported that the wipe in TWRP might screw things up.
So, I recommend you that you install a prerooted stock ROM, and the stock recovery. Then do a factory reset (from the phone!).

Bricked GS4 GT-i9500

I just got a GT-i9500 GS4 and I wanted to install miui on it but didn't noticed the release was for i9505, after the installation finished my phone didn't boot up and I think it's bricked. I tried a few unbricking methods like factory reset and cache wipe but nothing helped.
Any1 can help me please, also is it possible to get it to the store and get it fixed because I did a factory reset on it so it's not rooted ?

Thx for the reply but It didn't help.
After trying a few more things I installed CWD instead of Philz touch recovery and it had a restore point so that fixed the problem for me

[[SOLVED]] Process system isn't responding

Hi,
I rooted my phone 2 days ago and installed custom ROM everything went well, except for today my phone start to lag too much, so I decided to flash back the stock ROM that I have downloaded from Sam-mobile using Odin 3.08, but now my device not responding to anything and even I get "Process system isn't responding" in Samsung wizard installation also the sound disappeared and when try lunch any app like camera I get message "camera failed" and keep getting "Process system isn't responding".
[[The Solution]] for Process system isn't responding follow the steps: ((ONLY SM-N9005))
1-Unroot your phone if you are rooted.
2-Factory rest your phone and clear cache. .
3-Flash the Stock rom for your device.(if this fixed the the problem stop here if not continue to step 4)
4-Download this ROM and flash it by Odin 3.04.(this rom somehow managed to restore my EFS files and fixed the problem)
and that's it.

Oh man, I though I was the only one having this problem. I really don't now how to fix it at all, I've tried flashing stock ROM and I still get the same problem. If anyone can help, I'd be so grateful.

This sounds a lot like the issue I've been having (see details in the thread I posted here).
Any insight would be very welcome.

Yup bad root (it can and does happen the odd time!), clear cache etc in download mode, then reflash the new Stock ROM, then wipe cache etc again in download mode. See if that helps.
Similar issue I had previously after I originally rooted was apps kept closing and saying stopped working. When I wiped the ROM and updated via KIES to MJ7 with wiping cache etc, it seems to have done the trick.
EDIT: Also try ODIN 3.07 rather than 3.08

I have already done everything you mentioned by clearing cache,wipe system,clear data,flash new stock rom but nothing fix the issue

Maybe just return it, play stupid with the phone shop staff, probably won't notice the flashing anyway.

Unfortunately I've tried all of this too (except using Kies, it won't recognise my phone though I'd never tried it before now) to no avail.
I might try a warranty swap, but I'm concerned because the system status shows custom and I'm unsure there's any way to reset it. I suppose my only chance is to try for an on-the-spot swap for a new phone, because if it gets sent back to Samsung I expect they'd reject it due to the system status.
Still can't understand why the issue persists beyond reflashing the stock rom...

I don't understand why the issue persists after flashing stock either but I doubt it is hardware fault. I hope someone knows how to fix this

Help!wifi and bluetooth not working!

It started suddenly a day after I installed a custom rom,all i get is wifi is turning on...same for bluetooth,3g works tho.I tried factory reset,same problem,i also tried installing another custom rom but same.When I intalled the new custom rom I did all the wipes needed(format system data cache...).Do you think it's a hardware issue?

If you're still running the custom ROM, try to reinstall it but do not do the wipes, just reinstall and reboot. Good luck.

Still the same!how much will it cost to fix the issue?

Which Note 3 do you have and which custom ROM are you using? Try installing a different or stock ROM and see if the problem still persists.

What do you mean default ???
Default is whatever you flashed last .
You have done something that has broken it firmware wise hopefully .
So i suggest you boot to recovery Mounts and Storage .
Format system data cache .
Boot to download mode and flash stock rom through Odin .

Say According to the technical service is that my problem is hardware (wifi-bluetooth module) is the same module for both functions. It is difficult to repair because if it goes wrong you lose your phone or get a new motherboard.
Your problem seems software but does not work with stock firmware.
you have to buy another phone or change the motherboard if you use a lot these functions.
There is a possibility that the EFS folder was modified.
so it is recommended to back up this folder periodically changing ROM
I excused my English (google translator) I think the idea is understood ...
