The problem only happens when I reboot or turn on the phone. When it boots up, I get multiple results. A: It boots up normally (not a problem) B: When it gets to the samsung screen, it freaks out and reboots itself again and again. It's like it's struggling to boot up. One time it got to the gs 3, but then it looped back. C: This just happened today. I booted up and it went pass the samsung screen but when it got to the gs 3 screen, the screen turned a faint pink and it stayed on that screen.
This just happened right after version 8. I know 10 was messed up but on 9 and 11, this problem persisted. Also,I don't think the issue is the phone, since I don't have this problem on other Roms. If I'm wrong please let me know .
Any suggestions, advice, help, etc is welcomed.
Please... i really need help.

I unrooted, went back to stock, it did a factory reset so no bugs should have been alive. I re-rooted, made a backup, did a factory reset and wiped dalvik, then I flashed the rom zip and rebooted. It gets stuck on the Gs III screen. I waited like 5 minutes and it didn't move. My battery was at 50% so I just put it on the charger and tried to boot up and it went through to the set up screen for gmail.Just to see if it was coincedental, I did another reboot but this time it got stuck again. It sounds like a system problem but i'm not sure.Like i said earlier, this only happens on Jellybomb.
Any other ideas?
Edit: I've tried switching recoveries but it doesn't fix it.
Sigh.
It's not a hard perma brick. I can get back into TWRP recovery and reflash from my latest backup and my phone boots up and works just fine. But this started last night. I downloaded and flashed the update like normal. Phone rebooted, showed the Samsung logo, then came the Galaxy S3 splash screen with the little blue guy. And it never went away. Phone froze like that. I figured maybe it was just a random one time bug. So I reflashed my latest backup and waited. Tonight there was another nightly. So I downloaded it, made a new backup, installed, same thing. I even did a complete factory data reset.
Idk what's up. Right now my phone works fine but it's gonna suck if I'm unable to flash new roms.
According to this it's supposedly fixed.

Was running PA latest build. I took the battery out of the phone and switched with my wife. When I tried to power it back on, it was stuck on the boot screen with the PA logo. I tried flashing the ROM over and several different PA builds and flashed Gapps and I am able to get it to go past boot and to android is upgrading and it checks all the apps but then wont boot after "Starting Apps". I fell asleep last night while trying to get it fixed and when I woke up this morning, it was still on android is upgrading, starting apps. If I wipe data, it works. but nothing changed before I took the battery out. If someone has any pointers I would really appreciate it! I would hate to loose all my data!
I did make a nandroid of everything and tried wiping certain things at a time and its only when I wipe data, it works.
My phone seems to get stuck at the samsung logo whenever I turn off the phone. I am using AOKP, and the first time I just recovered back to ICE then flashed back to AOKP. I can get into recovery but any time I turn/reboot the phone it will not go past the samsung logo. Any solutions other than flashing every time?
edit: I solved it via going into TWRP, doing a backup (I was still stuck), then recovering that backup and rebooting. It seems to work fine now. Odd.
Back story was basically I went to use my phone that was running dicksteele buttnaked and it was frozen so I did a battery pull and that just froze up at Samsung screen and wouldn't let me into twrp. Sorry if this is a bit all over the place but if you are stuck like I was it may offer some help or at least get you thinking that you may not have tried absolutely everything.
@terpin32 got it back up, thanks for the help and all the suggestions from my post and the others I read here. Read all the suggestions for stuck at Samsung posts. Flashed via Odin all the param tz files I could find no luck. Still couldn't get it to boot normally or into recovery. So I flashed twrp via Odin still couldn't get into recovery. So I tried Phillz via Odin and bam got into recovery.
Now the issue was I had no backups via Phillz. So I tried wipes of cache and davlik still no normal reboot. Then I tried to do a full wipe to load a new ROM and the phone locked up and rebooted again. So I got back into recovery and began just trying to flash ROMS since my options were getting more limited.
First tried Buttnaked and it wouldn't boot same thing as before. Went back into Phillz and tried a full wipe for new ROM again. Froze before it finished and rebooted again. So I tried zens 4.3 and it froze on bootup. Tried to full wipe same result. Thought hey I will give a Aosp Rom a go. Dirty unicorns and everything looked like it was going to boot because it didn't freeze but it also never booted and just hung. Back into Phillz and tried a full wipe again and it frikn worked. Now I was getting somewhere. So I flashed twrp back and wiped everything again. Went to my last backup of DickSteeles ButtNaked and it booted back up just like nothing happened. My sound issue I was also having is fixed since my save was before it went goofy.
Not sure if this will help anyone but thought I would share. I do troubleshooting a lot at work and sometimes it's extreme. I came to the realization that I might need a new phone so I tried everything I could think of. My wifi is a little wonky probably because of the tz files I flashed but I will take that over the stuck bootup.
