So I thought I would give up my inexperienced life of flashing and possibly bricking my device(sent it in to get jtag repaired), so I attempted to put it back to stock. I got odin up and running, Downloaded(for the most part) the tar that would make it stock again. about 98% into the flashing it failed and made me a little nervous. I later remembered to flash the kernel, and with it, the phone booted up. Fine and dandy one day yadda yadda yadda.
Now comes day 2, and it just randomly turned off and booted again. it got to the little android boot screen, then shut down again, rinse repeat at different times of the boot process, add in some random shutdowns when I'm at the home screen and using my phone and there you have it.
I figured it was using an unfinished stock rom trying it's best to function, so I tried to put in clockwork mod. I did, but it was very difficult as I navigated through clockwork recovery, the phone would select things on its own, making the rooting process a giant pain. With that monkey on my back, I managed to root and install the juggernaut v.5 rom(which totally rocks) to see if the probably persists. The end result was it still happened, but when it didn't, I was able to work with it normally. At this point in time, I am trying to keep my phone turned on because if for a second the screen shuts off, the phone will start trying to shut itself down and game over. This is still very very annoying and was wondering if you fine people would happen to point someone thats green as grass with this stuff in the right direction

You have definitely earned my thanks for providing such hearty solutions! I am super paranoid now when it comes to downloading files like those. my major concern is if the files never download completely :O I followed what was in that first thread to tooth, and as I installed that md5 towards the end I got a giant fail. regardless, I thank you for the awesome support man:good:
Hmm, try reflashing your recovery. Mount your USB (If you cant, take out your SD card, and mount it on your PC) and place this file on the root of your SD card( Just easier to find this way)
http://sourceforge.net/projects/darksidetools/files/SGH-T989_ClockworkMOD_5.0.2.7.zip/download
Flash it, and restart recovery. Your recovery should act normal, and do a clean install of whatever ROM you wish. By the way, Juggs was my first DD (daily driver) to!!
Superwipe?

Lol, no its CWM 5.0.2.7 or aka, CWM non-touch, I got that link from TDJ's OP, he so kindly provided us a link for it. From your OP, it sounds like CWM did not flash correctly, you can flash a recovery within a recovery, you just have to restart it or reboot your phone for it to take into effect. Do you have the T989 or T989D?
lets see

Did you do a clean install? Darkside Superwipe, flash ROM, reboot, wait ten minutes, then reboot?
Sent from AOKP Goodness :-D
Yeah unfortunately it is still randomly rebooting....washing lol
An update to this: all the same symptoms occur, but for some reason when I flashed darkside rom 3 the symptoms occurred less! For example, last night I was able to use this device for 4 hours straight without it acting up. I really wonder what the problem is. I. Mean the thing acts like an angel when in Odin mode, but when it comes. To cwm or anything else it tends to spaz out.
I too have this happening now. I don't know why its been doing it. I was running the latest aokp and than it started rebooting and shutting off. So I went back to my nandroid backup and still continues. Running darkside v7, and problem is still there. Anyone know why this is happening?
It started happening while listening to music.
Here's a logcat, I used catlog right before it shut down. I cannot comprehend what it is trying to say, hopefully one of you can help me out. Thank you.

That's exactly what I was thinking. Everytime I would lock my phone with the power button it'll turn off and stay black vibrating. When I lock my phone using screen off and lock app it won't turn off but to unlock it I have to use the power button, than it turns off.

So I went to a T-Mobile store earlier and they told me they can't replace my phone because I'm rooted and they think its the rom, even tho I showed them.
I have to odin flash the original stock rom and go back to T-Mobile to get it replaced.
Know any way you can flash back without an internet connection on a computer?

In the non touch clockwork recovery use menu to scroll down. Home to scroll up. Back to go back. And search to select. I figured it out by my power button clicking things.

the only way i know how is through odin. I've done it a few times. at the end of the flashing I find that the phone turns itself off or something which marks it down in odin as a FAIL..when in actuality it flashed....it just needs a kernel flash and it'll all be candysticks and lollipops.
At this point in my phones life though, however, it is increasingly harder to do anything in clockwork since the button is fudged up. I think I might have to pony up 35$, but if you can Odin your phone back to flash and tell T-Mobile/Samsung about it, you can probably get the repair for free
Ok, so I searched high and low and saw nothing about anyone who couldn't get there GS3 to boot at all . . .
So My rogers I747M was succesfully rooted with Odin root not trip. And then i flashed It with the generic rooted jelly bean ROM. Successful again everything seemed fine. So i was confident in shooting for CM10(even though ive had troubles in the past) And i put the zip. in the sd and booted into CWM recovery and did a factory reset, cache and dalvik. Went to install CM10 from sd and it gave me error 7. so i reboot device and loaded into the stock rooted jellybean again to try and put another fill in the SD. Tried booting into recovery again. Now nothing at all, I have tried pulling the battery, even for hours. And then button combos..Nothing. Leaving cord in with battery out,button combos,battery in...Nothing
I'm afraid of the worst ATM, i had the unbrickable Captivate before this with my JIG and all, I'd did this to that phone, but the JIG saved me.
So the phone doesn't boot and you can't enter recovery?
The error 7 was cause by you not having the latest version of cwm.
Now for the brick part: try pulling out the battery, put it back and do the button com to enter recovery , old it for like ten seconds. Then plug it to your computer to see if Odin dectects it.
Once you tried it give me some feedback and I will check for further help. But if you are sure you didn't flash a wrong ROM for your device or a wrong kernel. The error 7 shouldn't have bricked your phone

Still No luck, whenever i try to plug it in the computer, it just gives me three quick "DUH_DUH_DUH"s as is to tell me the computer failed to recognize. I'm afraid i may have to take it back to rogers, it's not two weeks old yet so perhaps ill get away with defective, i wonder if they deem that sort of thing in store or at the depot. Because i know they wont get it too boot there, so if they did it in store perhaps ill just get an exchange
Yeah go ahead with the replacement they will not check into it. Worst case scenario, they will fix it and send it back to you

And luckily i woke up early this morning with confidence that I could spill some crazy story that made it sound like it overheated and died, and now I've got a new one, best be careful with this, i think im going to stay away from CM10, its killed 2 phones of mine lol, I believe any answer i will get will say that it was a user error thanks anyway !!!
A few months ago I was jogging along the beach in FL and had my phone in my pocket. It didn't get particularly wet, my shorts were only a little damp when I finished running. Phone was fine, but the battery was low.
I got back to the truck and plugged it in and it wouldn't charge. This wasn't anything new, usually a power cycle would get it going so I unplugged it and rebooted it.
I was running a CM9 nightly with franco kernel at the time. Well, the phone never came back up. It made it to the cyanogenmod boot screen and just keep displaying the animation for as long as I would let it sit (almost 2hours in total because we went to dinner and I left it be). I figured I water damaged it or something. Since it is unlocked I'm fairly sure I wouldn't have a chance at verizon to get it swapped under warranty. (the water damage sensors were not tripped anywhere I could see). So I started to get to work on it. I could get into clockwork recovery so I attempted a nandroid backup and that failed when it got to the data partition. groovy.
I could NOT mount the "sdcard" in recovery.. I figured my best shot was to wipe the phone and try it all from scratch. luckily I found an HD revolutions rom from when I first got the thing in my downloads folder. I wiped the phone and installed that. It booted!
Tried CM9 again, no dice. WTF? Went back to HD Revolutions, then back to CM9 again and let it sit for a really long time to boot and it came up. I'm on CM9RC1 right now with franco kernel again. I brain farted the other day and tried to install CM10. It didn't work, I couldn't do a nandroid backup and when it wouldn't reboot again I feared the worst. I had to commute home so I left it to boot while driving and suddenly bluetooth kicked in so it had booted. Something is clearly wrong with it as the rom install process never used to take that long to boot and the phone shouldn't freeze when trying to mound data or sdcard when in recovery.
ninja-edit / addition: In no way can I get the thing to be recoginzied by a USB port lately. It'll charge but I can't copy files. I've tried several computers (macs and PCs) and I can't see it in adb devices on either too.
So, on to my question here. What can I do to see what is wrong with the phone? Or, is there something I can demonstrate to verizon to get it swapped under warranty? I'm still not sure water was the cause here. Or, fix whatever the issue is that is causing it to hang when I try to mount data or sdcard in recovery..
Or, is there a way to relock the phone with a custom recovery / CM on the thing? I don't think there is just throwing that question out there.
Should be what you need. Just a matter of flashing everything back to stock and relocking the bootloader. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626895

oh that's awesome.. except I can't get it to connect to a PC via USB. All I can do is charge it.
now my question is.. if I can get it stock, how do I get it swapped if it doesn't do anything stupid after flashing it back to stock?? there is for sure something wrong with it. :-/
It shouldn't hang when mounting data or sdcard in clockworkmod recovery.
Stuck on the samsung logo.
The battery drained dead, and I waited until I got home to charge it. I plugged it in and the grey battery popped up and a loading wheel, but it froze.
Now it doesn't turn on. I switched batteries and it goes to the samsung logo and sits there. I tried VolUP+VolDown+HOME+Power and All the other button combos and still nothing just goes to samsung screen and reboots, then I notice the led light flashes red very faintly and once quickly then the logo comes back up.
Any ideas?

Not sure your going to be able to root with a non-booting phone. Here are a couple links about rooting
Chainfire's method you need download mode
mrRobinson's root injected stock Roms, also need download mode
Good luck hope one of these works for you.
Just my $0.02 worth.
My suggestion is make sure you are using the original, Samsung battery. Let it charge for 8 - 10 hours. Take it off the charger, remove the battery from the phone, wait several minutes; then replace the battery and try to boot.
If that doesn't restore, I'd take it back to the store from which you purchased it, and see if a new, oem battery will let it boot. The store should try to do everything they can to help, short of replacing the phone. But it may just be your phone has gone bad -- in which case rooting isn't going to help...
Good luck.

Intall CWM with odin then reboot in recovery and install stock rooted .zip or stock based ROM. Its called a dirty install. You can do this by placing the .zip in a microSD then install from external in CWM. You will end up with all your old crap but the .zip will replace your corrupted files. I recommend you save everthing as soon as it boots and yhen do a clean install of whatever ROM you want even if its stock.

reinstalled stock ROM, stuck on logo
I recently got an AT&T note 2. I rooted and installed cwm recovery. I tried installing Android Revolution HD 5.0 after running their superwipe script. Everything went smoothly except the SIM was not recognized. I couldn't get it to work so I tried 2 other ROMs and I had the same issue. I decided to go back to stock and wait for Cyanogen to release a ROM.
The issue I am having now is that the stock ROM downloaded from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2004650 and another stock ROM (KIES_HOME_I317UCALJ2_I317ATTALJ2_215287_REV04_user_low_ship.tar) won't boot. I can successfully push them to the phone from Odin, but then they reboot and get stuck on the Samsung logo. The phone doesn't give any error messages, no strange leds on, no reboots, it just sits there with the Samsung logo pulsing. I can still boot into the download mode (vol down, home, power).
Any advice on how to get to a functoning ROM? At this point I don't care if it is stock or custom, I just need something that works. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

You should only flash ROMs from the "AT&T Galaxy Note II Android Development" section. I think Revolution HD is not an AT&T ROM, I don't know about the other ROMs you flashed (as you didn't say what they where). Those ROMs probably flash a non AT&T compatible radio on you phone. You should read and re-read and make sure you know what to do and what ROM can can flash before you start flashing.
Do you have a custom recovery installed, CWM or TWRP? Have you tried using a different computer and different cable?
Maybe try flashing the AT&T modem and them a correct ROM and see if that helps. Honestly, I'm not sure how to help you beyond that.
Good luck...

get yourself a jig dude, if you were really stuck you could have just put that badboy in and it would take you to dl mode, from there you could have odin'd yourself anywhere you wanted to. A thought for next time you get yourself into a situation you think isn't recoverable.
if you are a in a bloop you can usually get to recovery and from there sort yourself out. I know you are ok now, but this may still help someone else.
A jig is like a condom... protection even if you think you don't need it, you should prolly use it.

Okay I guess I'll be the first to post.
About an hour ago my phone shut off at 26% battery (16gb galaxy S3 running CM10.1 nightly 01/16). As I went to turn it back on it will boot into the CM splash screen spin a few times and just shut off. I attempted to charge it, and turn it back on but same thing. After that an attempt to get into CWM, which I was able to get in and it shut off while I was in it. I also tried putting the phone in download mode and about the same time frame it took for the other attempts resulted in a shut down.
Any advice? Or am I stuck doing a warranty exchange?

Sounds like its your battery not a hardware problem. Leave it overnight or a couple hours charging and if it indeed boots up its your battery.
If it doesn't then flash stock and test it if the same result then call up that Warranty. I've seen this same issue with other devices where the battery dies at 50%+ and usually replacing the battery fixes the problem. Test your battery for overheating or swollen.

The battery isnt swollen, thats one of the things I checked also. I thought it might be that, the only other option I have is to try a different battery. The good thing is I work in a tmobile store so im gonna give that a shot tomorrow.
Sv: ***Emergency Thread*** Here To Help!
Can you start it without battery connected to the wall charger? If so try wipe cache. Or after reflash ROM.

Even better then lol just test it out at work. I'm about 80% its your battery specially if you OV/UC.
I have the t-mobile US t999.
Last night I was having an odd issue with the networking dropping. I've had the phone for about a month, modded since day 1 with a CM10 variation of a rom (sorry, I forget the exact rom). I had no issues whatsoever up until this point. After a few restarts thinking maybe it was a fluke issue with the network, or network signal in my room, the phone forced itself into emergency call mode only. I couldn't get it to come out.
So I decided I was going to odin on a stock rom as I could get it into download mode, that went through successfully. When the phone boots, I get the android taking off (Tmobile 4g) logo. Then the white samsung logo, and it doesn't go beyond this. I know this can take long so I left it there for about an hour, nothing. The phone also displays a blue led the entire time it's hanging as well.
Also worth noting, when I attempt to boot into recovery it just vibrates over and over.
Not sure what my next steps should be. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

after you odin, you need to wipe data/ factory reset to boot. If you can't get into recovery ( Power, Home Button, and Volume Up), then try reflashing your stock image in Odin and check your MD5 sum, so you can rule out a bad download
Thanks for the reply, I'm re-downloading the stock rom now to verify it's integrity and do a new flash. I cannot get into recovery, so we will see after the new flash. Pleading ignorance on one subject, how would I go about checking the MD5 sum to verify the file has no issues?
Additionally I did try to Odin recovery and still could not boot into it, this was however before attempting to re-download and flash a stock rom again.
**Edit//Update** Re-downloaded and flashed stock rom, was able to get into recovery and wipe, booted up fine.
Wow.. great idea for a thread and THANK YOU!!
Perfect timing too cause i need a little help please.
I am not new to android but new to samsung (WOW, didnt realize it would be so different from HTC ont he rooting and flashing side of things).
Long story short. I have a tmo s3. Bought it today and wanted to root. phone was working perfectly as it shoudl on stock rom unrooted. I downloaded the tool kit v7, used that to root adn install TWRP and rebooted into the stock rom that is now rooted. Still everything working perfect.
Here is what i did next and where the issues start.
Downloaded Synergy r290, went to recovery.
Wiped Cache, Dalvik, Data, and System (made a backup first)
flashed the rom and rebooted to system
However, nothing ever happened. I see the samsung logo, then all goes black and nothing happens (left it there for 10min)
I cant seem to get back into recovery holding vol up, home and power either and have no adb access to use that. I AM able to get into download mode which i know i can fix my problem here with odin, but i am just not sure what to flash and where.
Is there an easier way??
Thanks in advance for any help!

If you absolutely can't get into recovery to restore your backup..
Flash the UVDLJA root66 file in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1949687 via odin. You will have the latest UVDLJA JB update, and will be rooted. From there, install goo manager from the play store to flash TWRP.
After that you're all set to flash whatever you want (just make sure it's for the Tmobile s3).

Just upload the file to PDA and hit start. Make sure to let it finish completely, once the phone reboots, it's done.

Flashing stock with Odin can take up to ten minutes its normal like the man said above just let it do its thing

Let's see if you have any solution for me?
Weird problem. When I set kernel frequencies on my phone, they at some point get locked at the maximum frequency. This has happened every time I flash a new ROM or kernel, and I'm worried that it will soon start to affect the battery. I'm using the msmdvcs governor on both kernels that I've tried (stock and faux)

Do u happened to have apps that control frequency like setcpu etc? They might be conflicting each other
