i accidentally flashed a rom in the phone part in odin and now im stuck in a bootloop..... hooray i tried just flashing the eg30 modem to see if that would fix it and nothing.... i also tried flashing the stock rom again in the correct pda section.. still nothing any ideas?
Usually flashing just the modem in ODIN gets you back up and running.
yeah i know ive done this before but its not taking this time..
Take out the battery and SD card if you have one and let it sit for a little bit. Try going into download mode after that and flashing it correctly.
so i fixed it by forcing it to flash cm7 it didnt get past the splash screen so i odined the stock rom again and presto it worked. why did that work?

I flashed CWM5 through CWM3 purple. It rebooted into CWM5 and I got a ton of errors in red text, only the up and down buttons work and I can't select any options on the menu.
I then flashed it again using ODIN , put it in the PDA slot ect ect, and the same thing happened. Tried to ODIN back to CWM3, same thing. Tried to ODIN ACS recovery version 1, same thing. Completely stuck. Need help please.
I've never heard of that happening but you may need to revert back to stock ec05 and try again. This time just odin in cwm5 on ec05 and tell me how it goes.

Yea it was really weird, everytime I rebooted into recovery, or after ODIN, it did it for me, it booted into CWM5 and gave me errors...I did the 3 finger recovery thing, and ACS recovery loaded up normally, no freakin idea what happened, but it is worked out, I think.

I have been trying to find an answer for the last several hours. But I can't seem to get anything to work.
I have the AT&T GS3 and I was able to flash AOKP but then I wanted to revert back to stock. I tried the toolkit and followed the steps and what might of happened is that AOKP did not get wiped completely when I flashed the stock image. Now after successfully flashing the stock image (I get the PASS! on Odin), my phone is stuck while booting. It goes past the AT&T boot image but gets stuck on "SAMSUNG". I tries flashing through ODIN, another downloaded version of the stock image but it didn't work. What am I doing wrong?
Another problem with being stuck in bootloop is that since I flashed the stock image; I think I no longer have CWM. I can't find a way to get to recovery.
I'm not really sure how to help but if you can get to the boot animations you aren't bricked. I know you're not on verizon but in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1759642 it says when coming from an AOSP rom back to the stock rom you have to flash a stock boot.img before flashing the stock rom. Hope you can get it working again
Did you make a nandroid backup before you flashed the Rom...if you did you can restore from cwm recovery...hold power, volume up, and home...after the screen goes black let go of the power...hope this helps

If you can get into download mode , just flash recovery from odin.
And how long have you waited at samsung logo , it might take few minutes to bootup.
I don't have CWM recovery. It got stuck on the Samsung logo for 20 minutes before I gave up and did a battery pull.
What do I flash through odin to get it working again. Which recovery file?
Ok, I just used the method described in this article and I am still stuck at the SAMSUNG logo.

Tried that. Still same problem. Noticed that the boot-stock-att-sgh-i7.tar is only 10.5 mb. I don't know much about this, but is that tar file enough to get me unbricked?
usually the .tar file should be much larger than that. It's possible that the file you downloaded got corrupted. Try re downloading the file and than flashing it again.

just re flash stock in odin flash Flash this file http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1737848
So, I dun messed up.
I was on stock rooted lk8, and tried to go directly to MA7, even though I knew better. My own fault.
Anywho, once I flashed to MA7 the phone lost root, lost custom recovery, and would not activate.
I flashed CWM to it, and CWM would show up, but not allow me to do anything (wipe phone, restore nandroid).
So I tried flashing the stock image (lj1) via ODIN, and now it fails whenever it gets to sboot.img.
I can not get to recovery, stock or otherwise, it tells me to do an emergency restore from Keis (which does not work).
I can still get into download mode but the odin flash fails every time. I've tried flashing the PIT along with the stock Image but still no luck.
Anyone have any ideas before I head out to get it replaced?
UPDATE: Tried flashing back to MA7 using the oneclick and it worked, but phone is still not activated. I can get to stock recovery now as will. Will keep working on it.

Have you tried the chameleon fix? It is here if you search for it. That might make the phone activate. If not, do what I did and flash LJC and then move up to MA7

Latest drivers installed? Also maybe try ODINing to ICS and try it out from there
Is there a jelly bean 4.1.2 stock tar file around that i can flash in odin.. i just tried again 5 time somehting is wrong cant flash any recovery on this phone anymore.. everytime i get that firmwear upgrade encountered an issue please select recovery mode in kies and try again? thats what it says in the download mode screen.. then it stuck on that screen unless i use odin to flash a new rom.. i have UVLI4 tar file im hoping to get a newer file to flash and just leave it stock cause flashing a recovery is a NO go..
Oh, man! You need to do some more reading. I realized that you're posting in all kinds of threads in multiple forums (fora?) to solve your problem. All the stock tar files are available at sammobile.com. Search for T989 there and you will find the most recent odin-flashable T-Mobile stock rom.
Hello,
I'm sure there are many threads on about what I'm about to asked but I am a noob and I don't know what to do!!
I tried to flash cm11 to my I747 last night but it failed. So I tried to flash my recovery and it failed at first but second time around it was successful. Only thing is that when it booted, it got stuck on AT&T splash. I left it for about 15-20 minutes but nothing happened. Wasn't sure if my screen was going to burn the image so I turned it off and removed the battery. I have been doing research on how to recover but I want to make sure I do everything correct so I can at least go back to stock.
If there is anyone out there that can please give me some help I would greatly appreciate it!
Thanks!!
Is this fixable?

Yeah. Should be fixable. First, can you try booting to recovery and doing a wipe/reset? I presume you have custom recovery? If this doesn't work, then you can try flashing a complete compatible stock restore image via recovery to get the phone working or flash a custom ROM? What Android version were you on prior to the attempt to flash CM? This would let us know what stock version to revert to.
I was running 4.3 before trying to flash the custom rom. I tried flash the stock rom last night using Odin, but it the flash failed on me twice. I also noticed that the micro sd I had in my cell is now completely dead. When I plug it into my pc it does not show up. I think it still shows up in recovery but it doesnt seem to be working. Im worried about sticking another card in and for some unknown reason it going dead too.
I only found a flash for 4.1.1 as far as stock rom goes.

If you were already on 4.3, please do not try to flash 4.1.1 now otherwise you could risk bricking your phone. If you tried doing the hard wipe/reset via (custom) recovery and this did not work, you can try flashing a complete stock restore image via recovery. See the instructions in the following thread ....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2658486
Unfortunately, you would need to load the stock restore zip to a (micro) SD card. Unless you are able to save files to your phone, there is no other way. Once you have the restore zip ready, boot your phone to recovery mode and flash. You can revert to a custom ROM once your phone is back to working normally.
I had this problem TeamWin Recovery. I put Philz recover on there and it worked fine. You will probably have to ADB philz recovery to your phone, if you chose to try Philz. This is what worked when I rooted my girlfriend's phone.
An easy way to install Philz Touch recovery would be to download and install the latest tar version for the d2lte and flash it via Odin.

Thanks to everyone for your help and solutions.
My co-worker, who flashed my root and recovery, was able to get it back to 4.3 stock. Unfortunately, the backup that he made before rooting did not work in recovery [twrp]. So I lost all my pics from the last two months since getting my phone.
As sad as I was that I couldn't recover the pics, I am happy to have my phone back to normal+root.
I'm not sure, but maybe it bricked from trying to flash cm11 thru twrp?! Can't really say, but the recovery did not go thru either.... It went thru "successfully" but after I would reboot then it would stay on ATT splash.
Oh well... all is good now. I will steer away from custom roms for now and wait until the 4.4 update comes out for my i747. Or if i get another phone later on, I can use the s3 as a lab rat.
Again, thanks to everyone!
