I saw a couple people had the same issue that im now having but none of there solutions solved my problem
i wiped my GS3 for ATT tried to go back to a stock with root rom and when it rebooted it now just hangs at the samsung logo at boot tried re-flashing via odin with no luck also tried flashing a CWM.tar since i cant get into stock or CWM recovery to flash from there is there something im missing i know its late and maybe my brain isnt working like it should
Solved the problem myself.....and rather then just say i figured it out ill share how i did this since i watched countless videos and read endless amounts of threads and since none of them helped mem
First also try t put your phone into stock recovery mode and wipe your phone then flash this should take care of things if it doesnt try what i tried below
and i hope this can help someone else out there who has the same problem that i had all you have to do is the following i did this with obviously an AT&T model should work with others but as always try at your own risk.....
First make sure your battery has a charge even if its stuck on the boot screen its still charging....
then download KIES from samsung update it and make sure you have the latest version.
Next plug in your phone if your stuck at the samsung screen your computer will recognize your phone still at least it did with mine.
Once your done with the above open up KIES goto the top and then TOOLS and Firmware upgrade click on that enter your phone model (ATT SGH-I747) i dont get this part but next it will ask you for your SN and for some reason it doesnt recognize the SN use your IMEI
Now it should ask you a couple questions tell you its wiping your device and you will lose everything etc.....but then it will download the latest FW and begin to install everything and in about 20-25 mins everything will be back to stock
Nvm.. misread.
I'm stuck too...and Kies can't find the phone. Anyone have any other ideas? I can't even get into recovery...only download mode.

Yes, all drivers are installed because that's how I ODIN flashed it in the first place! Just stuck on the damn Samsung screen and I can't get Kies to connect to the phone. Not in Download Mode or when it's just stuck on that screen.

With the phone off, hold down VOL UP + HOME + POWER until the phone vibrates. Then let go of the power button. When you see the blue text in the top left corner of the samsung boot screen, let go of the other 2 buttons

Okay, this brought the menu up for me, but I removed the data,cache, and reset the phone and it is still not working. Also, my phone just goes black after the Galaxy Samsung S3 logo, but the blue light in the top left is still on. Can anyone help me out?
P.S. Sorry for reviving this thread if it is too old.
Edit: I should also mention that I can still hear the sound of the phone booting up (the sound that typically occurs when the phone is on the white loading screen). However, the screen is black at this point.

Ah, sorry about not providing enough information. Please keep in mind that I am very inexperienced and I may get some things incorrect just due to that. To my understanding, I went to try and root my phone, but beforehand I used the guides below to get my phone ready for the root (yes I do realize at this point that using these outdated guides was a clear mistake and I should have come to XDA instead). I flashed my phone to the stock kernel using the file that site provided, and then encountered the problem above. In my panic I have tried to restore the phone through several methods, but every time I try to load anything onto it with Odin, it doesn't complete until my phone restarts (and my phone won't boot up completely) so I can't get the pass message. Interestingly enough I did manage to get clockwork mod installed as that is what shows up when I try a secure boot using the methods that you described.
Ah, I am unfortunately not allowed to post links. The guides were off of Android Authority.
If there is any other information needed to help me please let me know and I will do my best to obtain it.

Sounds like you need to clear your cache partition and clear your dalvik cache. There are several guides on this site to help you. Choose the one that is most appropriate to what you are trying to do and follow it EXACTLY. There is one to start. Follow it from the beginning.

When nothing else works start over from search. You cab use download mode? First make sure you got right drivers as that can mess up Odin. Use one in my Sig if you want. Then flag stock recovery with root someone nice will part a link to it I'm on my phone can't do it. Well fix your phone

Okay now I am running into another problem. I have tried downloading the drivers from many different places and they always seem to be correctly downloaded. That being said, I can't install the drivers after I plug my phone into the computer (after downloading and installing Samsung USB drivers). Therefore, I cannot access my phone storage to put the root zip file on it. I was still able to download the custom recovery.
Now I have gone to a different computer, and the drivers seem to install correctly, but the phone still does not appear under my computer.
Edit: I do already have a root zip file on my phone from my earlier attempt, but I install it and my phone still doesn't load up. Also, Odin still recognizes the phone.
Edit 2: Windows says that the drivers cannot recognize the device. Edit 3: "Hardware ID Missing"

Sorry, I really need help for this. I can't install the MTP drivers even through using some of the tips on this site. That seems to be the problem with me accessing the phones storage from my computer. Does anyone have an ideas for what else I could do? Should I just take it to the store and hope they can fix it?

Hello I need a but of help my Nexus 7 is showing my nothing but the google logo and at the store earlier it showed the android with his chest up and a red triangle. it doesnt even show the moving colors after i turn it on it just sits and says google like a paper weight. i can turn it off and on but nothing more. the geek squad at best buy told me to ask for help here at Xda. last thing i was doing with it was opening deer hunter 2013 and next i go to see if it opened and it stuck on the google logo. can anyone help me fix my tablet? its not under store warranty only manufactures.
Well, sucks to be you.....just kidding...but that does suck. Now, on to more serious matters...
Do you have access to your bootloader? (hold the power button + the vol up button at the same time) If you do, you might want to look into rooting the tablet. Based on the content of your post, I am assuming that you haven't. There is plenty information about rooting the Nexus 7.2 tablet (and just about every other Android device). Simply Google "root Nexus 7 2013" and you will quickly find your answer.
Also, how much do you know about rooting and the sort? I want to know before I waste my time giving details about info that you are aware of.

i dont know anything about rooting. i dont have access to the boot loader. i did a few days ago now it wont even show up, the guy and best buy tried to bring it up and its like it was showing a dead android or something chest open with a red triangle above it. he said someting about maybe have to flash a new or or something like that on to it, it wont show me anything just stays off or shows the google logo when its on
Sigh...that is the bootloader. Maybe...he could have booted into the stock recovery, which shows this or something similar for most devices. Please remember, they are reps...they may know about the software, but usually they speak from their experience or their perspective. I'm glad that he sent you here for a second opinion.
Hold the volume down button and power button to get into the bootloader. You should see some options at the top of the screen saying Start, Restart bootloader, Recovery Mode, Power Off. Not sure if those are the exact options, but it's pretty close.
Also, you need to look into rooting your device. You need to download some files first. You'll need adb, fastboot, and drivers for your Nexus.
And one last thing....what Computer OS do you use? The rooting process is slightly different for each one (Windows 7, 8/8.1, Mac OS, & Linux). If you are into computers, and you have Linux installed on a device, good for you. That is my preference when rooting, as Android is built from Linux, and naturally supported without the need for drivers.
I had similar problems when I first bought it. Going into recovery and resetting the tablet cured it. You will lost all your data BTW.
He's facing the loss of his entire tablet, so I'm sure that data loss isn't the biggest thing to worry about.
But yes, just about every solution involves a clean wipe of data.

I'm stuck on the google logo too. I had my tablet plugged in over night and when I opened the cover this morning it woke up, but as soon I tried to access anything it rebooted and stuck.
I'm unlocked and have tried various thing. NRT doesn't recognize it as an ADB device so I don't think that will work. Fastboot works, but I keep getting "FAILED (remote: flash write failure)" when I try to use the factory flash all, or the instructions found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2381582
I can use fastboot to query the device and get it to return "flo" but it seems like the flash storage has failed.
if it's truly horked, can I use "fastboot oem lock" to relock it and attempt a warranty replacement?

You can try Method 2 from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2513701
I know it's for the N5, but I used this one for both my Galaxy Nexus, N5 and N7. Since they are all Nexuses (Nexi?), the same general procedures apply. I always prefer to do it all manually, step-by-step, which is why I went with Method 2 in the OP of that thread. Obviously, since this is the N7, just skip the radio flashing command. Everything else is the pretty much exactly the same. If this doesn't work in fastboot, then it's probably a hardware failure.
Last night I installed geefree on my phone from the app store and used it to install TWRP. I downloaded a nightly CM11 and an appropriate gapps. Using geefree I rebooted to recovery (never figured out the button combination to boot to recovery "naturally") and installed both of the zips. This could be where I made my mistake, I installed both at the same time.
Now my phone loops, displaying the LG logo for a few seconds, then shutting off and rebooting before repeating the process. I can't seem to get it to go into download mode or the recovery menu. I've tried power+up, power+down, down+up and each of those while plugging the device in, etc. I can get the device to a hardware key control mode, though it doesn't seem too useful.
How can I save my phone? This forum has been a great resource in the past and I'm very grateful for the many tutorials I've followed rooting other devices. Hopefully you guys can save the day once again!
Volume up plus power is how to access recovery on sprint.
What stock sw version were you on before you flashed cm?
Did you wipe data before flashing?

I was using stock 4.2.2, I believe. I didn't wipe the data (shame on me), a bad habit that I picked up from my first rooted device, the Samsung Moment. It didn't ever matter on that one, afaik. Thanks for the reply!
Edit: Volume up and power whether plugged in or not takes me to the hardware key control mode screen.
Second Edit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476&page=35 I also found this thread where someone seems to be experiencing similar issues and they fix it with "LG Utility." Is that a PC application? It's a little vague to google, but I've been trying!
I have a bootloop issue every time i flash a rom i have to wipe all but sd flash roms and gapps the i do a restore from twrp and oly restore my boot image only and they boot no prob
I'm kind of starting to suspect my power button doesn't work at all for whatever reason. I have a lot of difficulty getting the phone to shut down, then it doesn't seem to easily power up. It's a strange collection of problems. Would a Sprint repair place be able to fix this?
If they have parts on hand if not either a swap out or a sendoff
Same problem here - bootloop and no download mode - CWM works! - urgently need help
I guess I have the same problem as InlineFourPower (apart from that my power-button has no problem).
I am stuck in bootloop since I tried to upgrade to Kitkat a few days ago. Now I can´t get into download mode any more, nor into fastboot or anything else. Only CWM works.
From within CWM I can successfully flash ROMs but that doesn´t help, since afterwards I am still stuck in bootloop. It is possible, however, to push files via adb-commands while I am in CWM.
Does anybody have an idea how to go from here or how to get download-mode back?
Device is recognized but can´t be mounted - bricked forever?

I tried a few things on Linux.
After terminal-command "ls /dev/sd*" when the device is unplugged from the computer I get "/dev/sda".
When the device is connected via USB, I get: "/dev/sda /dev/sdb"
So sdb is my LG G2.
So I went on to the next command: "gdisk -l /dev/sdb"
As a result I get: "Problem opening /dev/sdb for reading! Error is 123."
Does it mean that the phone isn´t mounted or what? Now I´ve connected my phone to another Linux machine with the same result. It is recognised (p.e. as sdd), but there is no sdd1. Seems as if it is recognized, but can´t be mounted. Does that mean my device is bricked for good? That´s it?
to get the phone into download mode you have to plug the usb cord in and hold VOL+, so to get this right as I have a case on mine, plug the usb into the phone first then hold VOL+ and plug into usb port on the computer.
it does take a loooong time to power down the phone with the button when stuck in a boot loop, just keep holding it until it shuts off, it will shut off eventually!!
plug the phone in while in download mode to install drivers and set com ports, then unplug before you begin your flash with LGFlashTool, hope this helps you out.

Thanks Cronic2009 for your advice.
There are, however, szenarios where download-mode is not accessible any more. Neither by using the hardware-keys, nor by using the adb-command.
After four days of resarch and a lot of trial and error, I finally unbricked my F320L using the two adb-commands outlined at the beginning of that thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2451696
Worked like a charm.
Thanks everyone for your advice.
no problem buddy, glad you got it figured out, good luck to you from here on out!
FYI, that link doesn't work
I just wanted to ask anyone who might know, since the bootloader of the LS980 is locked, we cannot "break" this correct, so no matter what commands we decide to run through root, we cant touch the true bootloader there for LS980 fail safe? (Besides Acts of God, EMP, ect)

Be sure if you use a aosp based rom to flash the ZV8 modem. Your can use dr87 or furnance kernals after you flash the zva modem althought i have encountered soft brick due to this.

Borderline noob here, so please bear with me...
I have been using TWRP 2.7.0.0 to do all my work, and I was able to get the Lego ROM installed with ZVA. I got into too big of a hurry and forgot to make a backup of stock. I've also been unsuccessful in trying to install ZVC modem and firmware. Thankfully ZVA works as does the LEGO ROM, but I'd like to have stock there to access as well. The stockZVC that's on the Android Development page has been getting stuck (bootloop?) on the Sprint Spark logo. I've done TWRP's factory reset with no success. Any help would be great.
Thanks in advance!
Yes sir I've tried that and more to no avail is there anything I can do through adb I'm on stock recovery phone doesn't stay on long enough to install anything

You ever get her fixed?
I'm hoping someone might be able to help me recover my Nexus 7 which appears to be bricked currently. It is the 2013 version, and it was never rooted initially and was running stock firmware. (By the way, I'm not the most proficient with messing with my Android devices or even with the terminology, so I apologize in advance if I might require clarification on some of the responses).
A few days ago, I woke up to discover that somehow my home screen had reverted back to the way it was upon initially getting the device. This wasn't a big deal since I didn't lose any data or apps, but I figured something might be wrong and even posted about it on Google's product forums. Then, last night, I attempted to update to 4.4.3 because it had been prompting me to do so for a week or two. It downloaded and attempted the update, but it failed. It then eventually restarted, but upon loading up Android I got an error message that stated:
System UID's Inconsistent
UIDs on the system are inconsistent, you need to wipe your data partition or your device will be unstable
with a button to click that says "I'm Feeling Lucky" - I clicked the button figuring I could at least get back in to back up my data, but after about 30 seconds the device just rebooted again (all I managed to do was accidentally click the Chrome icon) and now it is just stuck at the initial boot-up screen displaying the Google text logo.
I have tried to hold down the volume button and hit power, and I get to a screen with 4 options I can cycle through: Recovery mode (which will just put me back the Google text logo), Power off (which turns off the device), Start (which puts me back to the Google text logo), and Restart bootloader (which brings me right back to this menu options page). I'm attaching a screenshot of this page.
I spent about an hour on the phone with Google support, but they were basically useless. I then did some research and downloaded Skipsoft Unified Android Toolkit and was able to get the device to be recognized when it was in that 4-option mode by the Skipsoft Toolkit. However, all fastboot options I tried didn't seem to succeed because the Bootloader was locked. I figured I would try to unlock it, and it told me that in doing so it would wipe my device (so be it I figured since I had already pretty much kissed my data on there goodbye at this point). However, it seems to try and wipe it (even giving me a prompt on the actual Nexus 7), but then just sits and does nothing that I can see (see attached screenshots).
Anyone have any ideas/suggestions? Thanks so much!
To be safe, with a stock device that was not rooted... I would go ahead and use the Skipsoft program to flash the stock image back on the device. This should alleviate any future issues with the OS on your device.
I believe it to be Option #9 on Skipsoft.

Thanks for the reply - I attempted your suggestion, but it didn't work because the Bootloader is still locked; and attempting to unlock the Bootloader seems to stall on erasing userdata.
Any other thoughts? Thanks!

The Nexus 7 did prompt me whether I want to unlock the bootloader and I selected yes (with the volume and power keys), but then it just hangs at that selection screen as well...

I changed the wrong link in my signature. The ADB link correctly points to version 19.0.2 now. Try that one. Try a different cable if you have one, try a different USB port if you can.

Tried two different cables on two different USB ports with the new 19.0.2 downloads you posted - still having the same thing happen. Could it be the computer I'm using, or the drivers I installed (I used the Skipsoft Unified Android Toolkit drivers)? Or is my device just totally bricked and unrecoverable?
Thanks!

You can try different drivers. Uninstall current ones, and install the ones from my signature.

Ok, so I removed the Clockworkmod ADB drivers from add/remove programs (or uninstall programs - whatever it is called now on Win7), then I went into device manager and deleted the driver for Google Nexus BootLoader Interface, and then I rebooted. After the reboot, plugging the Nexus 7 in showed no driver detected, so I downloaded your Koush Universal ADB drivers, extracted them, and used them to install the Google Nexus Bootloader Interface drivers again (that's what it detected for my Android when I pointed the device listed in device manager to the extracted folder).
I then ran "fastboot oem unlock" but it's still getting stuck at the same place: (bootloader) erasing userdata...
Anything else I can try?
Thanks!
Hi,
I have the same issue since yesterday. When I pulled my nexus from my backpack (charged 12 hours earlier) its battery was drained. After charging it nexus stucked on google screen during normal or recovery boot. Oem unlock also hangs on erasing userdata. I'm looking forward for any solution to this.
Maybe some ****ty update? I've got the LTE version.
Anyone have anything else I can try?
I'm currently working on getting ASUS to replace the device under warranty - but they want me to send it in first, and I'm concerned that while I can't access any of my data on it, the data might still be there and potentially accessible to others (and I'd prefer to not have all of my confidential data that I stored on there accessible to anyone else). Unfortunately, ASUS won't replace/repair it unless I send it in, so I'm between a rock and a hard place...
Any help or advice is greatly appreciated!
Thanks.

I've tried every single way to unbrick my nexus. After 2 days of searching send it for repair. Without any questions they replaced mainboard. Problem solved hard way.

Gawson - when you got it back did it still have your data on it, or was it wiped?

When I got it was wiped. Flash is on the mainboard so there was no way they could save my data. They do not migrate your personal stuff.
Now its working like new. In fact it has all new guts except battery and screen.
Only problem is that now auto brightness sensor is giving crap instead of useful data. I don't know if its hardware related or just 4.4.3 issue.
Hey guys any idea on rotting this device? Also I have an Alcatel T'POP 4010X that cant be detected in my pc doesnt matter what drivers I installed still doesnt worked... Can anyone help me?
You can try this method, IT DIDN'T WORK for me, but.... you might be luckier
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/root-asus-memopad-7-me70c-t2873517
in my case when i reboot the tablet it gets forever in bootloop, to recover from there i forced it to boot the bootloader via USB-ADB "adb reboot-bootloader" while the tablet was charging, then use the "factory reset" option.
Good luck, and please share your experience.. i'm getting nuts trying to figure this thing out
This method didn't work for me either, the same thing, stuck at loading screen.
You can restore factory settings by holding volume down + power when powering up, it will take you to Droidbot bootloader.
Today Asus finally added ME70C downloadable files on their support site! Firmware, source code and manual, the usual stuff. Hopefully this will help somebody make root available on this device! Go to service.asus.com, and search for ME70C.
