Just boot into recovery, plug in your usb cable to your phone and computer, and flash a stock image using Odin. I would suggest you go ahead and flash a rooted stock image using these instructions.

If you want straight stock:

Odin can be found here:

These are all stickied at the top of Android Development Thread. In the future, please search first.

I had a similar problem, you don't mention which carrier you are on, but I suspect you are using the wrong stock ROM, or an incompatible stock ROM. You need to locate one for your carrier. This is the same problem I had last week.

Default Same problem.

I'm having the same problem. I followed the no-counter-tripping method to flash a root-injected stock ROM and it worked fine.

I flashed to CM9 and the camera wasn't working, so I used Odin to flash back to the same root-injected stock ROM and now it never finishes booting.

I noticed that flashing to the root-injected ROM didn't delete my apps, which seems strange. I suspect that there's something lingering from CM9 that is causing the loop in stock. I don't know any way to wipe the device and flash only the root-injected ROM, but I'm hoping that will fix it. Is there a way?

Have you tried flashing to stock ROM first (non-rooted)?

I had similar bootloop on GSII and had to go to stock to get it working. then I re-rooted.
