I'm going crazy. All I wanted to do was flash a stupid splash screen and now I'm getting stuck at the bootanimation!
I downloaded Calkulin's_EViO_Splash.zip I assumed that you could just go into recovery and flash it like you flash a rom or kernel since it didn't specify anything else. However, after flashing it not only did the splash screen not look exactly like the image posted on the thread the phone keeps getting stuck at the bootanimation.
I went into recovery and ran a format all zip and cleared everything. I'm in the middle of restoring an older Nandroid. I hope this will help but i have a feeling it won't.
Any suggestions?
God, someone shoot me...I knew I shouldn't of flashed this crap! Someone help!
i had the same thing ahppen to me when i flashed a battery mod... i honestly have no clue why it happens, but i think the SW of the boot mod might not fit with your kernal/rom.
Lucky for me my own little fix actually worked. Thanks for increasing your post count while I was dying with a bootlooping phone!

I've search up and down all night looking for a solution for my problem. The other I let my lil cousin play with my phone. Somehow he got into the recovery and started formatting everything. After I found out my sd card was cleared completely I was like "its ok just put the rom back on the sd card and flash it" lets just say it didn't work. Each time it gets stuck at the splash screen. I was thinking maybe the custom splash is locking it up but I'm not sure on what to do. Anyone got any advice on what to do so I can get my phone back up and running?

If it were me ... I would start over, reflash the recovery image, do a complete wipe, and flash a full rooted rom/radio image. Once everything is back working, update profile, prl, and then move on to your custom rom of choice.
i've re-flashed the recovery image and everything
I've tried flashing Synergy but just isn't happening. Could the custom splash be effecting it?
So after a while messing with i stuck my ad card in my friends hero to see if the data,android.secure file etc etc would have any effects but nope

When you wiped, did you use something like Calkulin's "format all" zip? If you already did that then I would try going back to a stock splash image. Perhaps something went wrong with the splash image install.
Grab one of these PC36IMG.zip here and put it on your SD card.
It contains the stock splash screen and will basically RUU you. You will still have S-Off. Just get the one that corresponds with your HBoot. Then try reflashing recovery and wiping everything 3 times and flashing the ROM of your choice.
So, to start off, I had CM7.2 on my epic 4g touch. It was working great but than I dont know why, I decided to upgrade it to CM9 just to get ICS taste. But than I went to system and did full system wipe and thats where it all started. It restarted and got stuck at big android guy logo with some square rotating on his tummy. It was there for good 10 mins when I decided to restart. Didnt work and kept going back there. I went to CMW and tried reflashing it didnt work. I tried different roms and than got stuck in boot loop. Than I went to download mode and tried to flash stockcmw_EL26.tar.md5 and I got cmw 5.0 something running. I than tried do clean wipe and install different roms. it will either get stuck at erasing /data or will not install roms at all. So now three days later. I am still stuck with a bootloop phone with nothing able to install.... PLEASE HELP ME!!! Its driving me insane. Also, I do have it flashed to boost which I really dont wanna loose. I also have nandroid backups which I tried to restore but they all fail to restore /data and restores everything else but ultimately, it wont still get the phone outta bootloop.
Your bricked. When it didnt boot up right the first time you should have odin'd back to EL29, or whatever.
Your data partition is jacked and you will need a replacement.
You should have installed it exactly like the instructions said.
Also you could not find an answer in the other 100 bricked threads in here... You are not the only one with this issue. Take a moment and read the results of others which may of saved you from the Brickhouse. Sorry not trying to flame you just this stuff has been all over the forum for days and days.. Oh yea using Touch CWM tisk tisk tisk....
Playya out!

I know there are other threads regarding this but I have a couple of different issues pertaining to it.
First of all I've been keeping up with nightlies for a while with cyanogenmod. I skipped them for about a month and updated to a new one two nights ago. It wasn't the best and i flashed back to an earlier version so that my gmail would work again. The bad news is that it is now in a boot loop. I have tried to boot it into recover to no avail. Now I have it stuck in ODIN MODE and I'm to scared to touch it any further.
I've used ODIN before but now I use a Macbook, so that makes things a little more difficult.
Any help would be awesome, I know there is a way to pull this back from the depths but after two and a half hours of searching has just left me scratching my head, and I know you guys are all pros at this.
I apologize if I put this in the wrong thread. I have been a frequent visitor of this site but have never had to post anything, hopefully I didn't mess anything up.
Thanks for the help in advance, I really appreciate it.
you have no choice but to use odin and flash back to stock FM. If you get boot look again, boot into stock recovery and clear cache and factory reset. You should be fine, i,m not sure how stable mac odin is but on windows it worked every time to kick me out of boot loop
I'm not a noob, but not exactly a ROM flashing god either. I bought a used SIII and after trying a few ROMs decided to go back to stock for a bit and possibly sell it. I flashed the LEM firmware and it got stuck at the samsung "pulsing" logo, so I flashed the LK3 and got the same thing. So now I am kinda stuck in no man's land. It will boot and give me the swirling Samsung logo and then the AT&T dripping planet logo and then stops at the pulsing Samsung logo. For $h1ts and giggles, I tried flashing TWRP through Odin and of course that didn't help. Tried going through the toolkit and because I can't put the phone into developer mode, that doesn't work either. I'm assuming that even though I made some stupid mistakes here it should still be salvageable given that it is booting and being recognized by my PC. Am I SOL or can I make this thing work? Open to any suggestions and thoughts.
Thanks!
Boot into the stick recovery after Odin and do a factory reset, reboot then profit

can you access Recovery Mode? if so, wipe data, cache and reboot.
I'm good now. I guess I just panicked a little. Need to be able to sell this one so I can buy a new toy soon. Not sure exactly what made it work (I flashed the recovery boot image from the toolkit) among all the things I tried, but I was eventually able to boot into recovery and wiped and reinstalled Quantum. Thanks for the fast replies.
Alrighty folks, it's time for me to give up and ask the community (probably what I should've done in the first place. lol)
This basically all started when I tried to update my GPE Rom to lollipop. I flashed it using TWRP from my external SD card. Then it wouldn't boot. Just kept showing the screen with the "google" logo and an unlocked padlock at the bottom.
Skip forward a day and some change and I managed to screw up the recovery. Same thing happens as when I tried to boot into the Rom. I'm now trying to get the stock RUU to work as I'd be happy with anything right about now. I keep getting an error 159. So, I committed the mortal sin, I didn't read enough and somehow, playing with fire, I got burnt.
Now I'm turning to you kind people to help me solve this issue and hopefully teach me a few things in the process
Just let me know what you need and I'll do my best to be not a dumb.
Thanks in advance.

Have you tried reflashing your recovery? Also I had the same problem with being stuck at the splash screen for lollipop, it just takes a really long time to boot and doesn't show a boot logo.
