Good Evening all,
I have a T-mobile Galaxy S3 that was rooted. That I took back to stock and unrooted using Odin and T999UVALEM_T999TMBALEM_T999UVALEM_HOME.tar......I let the phone sit for about 25-30 min and it never really made it past the pulsing SAMSUNG screen. Now I rebooted into Flashing Mode (Odin) and Flashed CF-Auto-Root-d2tmo-d2tmo-sght999.tar, thinking that would help.......however.....I still seem to be stuck.....How do I get myself unstuck? Thanks so much for any help .....

Have you tried using stock recovery and perform a factory reset? I also took mine back to stock via Odin, performed the factory reset and worked fine

I did do that.....and was able to update to 4.3 through t-mobile, however, now I have a black block which appears over all screens giving or listing what seems to be the information about my phone, and a warning that the phone is in "Factory Mode" and I need to reset it back to user.....or something like that...it comes and goes kinda fast....I wanted to flash a different ROM but I went back to stock to kinda clean up my internal SD....it was getting kinda bulked down with all the roms I was trying.........but now I am stuck with this......any ideas??

Did you update to 4.3 while you were in stock? If you did that, maybe Knox is causing you these issues, if you havent been in 4.3 in stock, you shouldn't have that issue.
I would suggest flashing 4.1.2 version via odin, after that enter recovery and do a factory reset, after that reboot and it should start properly

I originally went to Stock 4.1.2....then got tried to root the phone thinking that flashing different Rom would fix the issue.....no dice...So I flashed back to the 4.1.2 Stock. Made my way around the block that pops up telling me I need to set it back to user mode and did the OTA update. After the update it was still saying that I was in Factory Mode....and needed to reset it to User Mode.....In did a hard reset and wipe....and it is still there.....I may be able to change it through root explorer but I need to root my phone again.....and I have no idea where a safe place to start would be for that....
@jinx0117
Sounds like your EFS folder might have been erased. You can root the phone and check with a file explore. If you don't have a backup of it, there is no way to recover it.
If you have updated to official 4.3 don't try to downgrade with odin or you will end up with a full brick.

Thank you so much for telling me that.....I was able to root and reset my phones Factory Mode by use of a Emulator. Now I did follow some steps I found here on XDA to get around the Knox Security that T mobile put on the 4.3 update......I am able to flash Roms now with no issues.....thanks so much everyone for all your help!!!!
I will assume that if I want to take it back to stock again I would need to flash a 4.3 stock with Odin???? That way I don't brick my phone? Is that correct?:good:

Yea, Stick with 4.3 odin for now on. The 4.3 Bootloader wont let you downgrade.

Aroma is buggy, you just have to keep rebooting into recovery and keep trying, it will go. Some say it seems to work better without the usb plugged in.
As for team dirt I believe it is a aosp rom. If it is you will have to edit the updater script in the zip file so it know's your new 4.3 bootloader. META-INF>com>google>android>updater-script. If your on windows I suggest downloading notepad++ to edit the file. Just delete every thing down to where it
say's mount then save the file.
Update: I edited the updater for you https://www.dropbox.com/s/xucl47rh1wxg9rt/updater-script
Just put it in the zip file where I told you above, save and copy it to the zip and flash away.

Hello my problem is this.
when i took picture whit the flash my phone turn off.
i need to know if there a way to fix it whit any kERNEY

You mean a kernel? Are you running a custom rom? What OS?

no am runing official update Rom,Rooted , i deleted almost all stock app.
but i read some kerney may fix it.
Do you have a custom recovery installed? That would be the easiest way to flash the kernel.

yes i have cwm..
In that case, you could look here for a replacement kernel or ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3-att/development
Make sure you create a backup first. Good luck.

THANKS for take ur time to help me
No problem. We're all here to help.
Just remember, you cannot load a stock ROM anymore since you have the 4.3 bootloader.
Well, since few days i had issue that sometimes i couldnt enter recovery. Now im on stock and i cant flash it. In the moment when stock recovery should change with CWM i just get blackscreen :/
Which one do you use? Try this from attachment.
Thats kinda hard to flash it cuz i cannot enter even stock recovery. Should i take Ace for warranty?
Well, you could empty your SD except for that one file and count clicks...
But if you can downgrade to 2.x, try to do that and then back to 4.x first, that's a mostly 100% reflash of your phone... In fact kernel and bootloaders (SBL/"Normal", mem_init, power_management) are all that's required for recovery AFAIK, but the very issue of LCD problems in recovery means there's probably more...
@up
Gonna try it. For gb i need 3parted update right?
Worked 2-3 times, installed cwm and again same problem
Now im trying all time to go into recovery, tried over 10 times, none of this tries were succesfully

Here u have everything u need.
I recently installed the Android 4.4.2 KitKat custom ROm "Carbon" on my HTC One X Endevarou, and after some trouble that I got fixed with the help of this forum, I got it all working. Now I have another problem though... I can't access my SD card when the phone is booted. I can access it in recovery mode and as a USB Storage in recovery mode, but when I go to for example gallery, it says "No external storage found"

have you checked if there is any fix/workaround in the rom thread, or even if anyone reports tehe issue? it's not an hardware problem for sure, as you can access it via recovery...
Try another aosp kernel. That seems to fix it.

I searched around the XDA forums and on the official Carbon ROM website, but didn't find anything.

And if you had to explain that to a noob? I Googled it, but it only returned gibberish for me.
Well like there are custom sense kernels, there are also custom aosp kernels. Check the original android dev section. You see some kernel headlines that are also for aosp. Try one it might help.

Ohh, nice. I have no idea what kernel to flash though, do I just pick any? And what version exactly? I am at a loss.
read the respective thread, search if there is an aosp version of the kernel, read if there are issues and flash one (repack if required)... test if for some days and if you are not satisfied take another one and start over

sure you can take a nandroid backup before starting, it is always the best choice and the fastest way to revert back in case of issues

I tried two different AOSP versions of the Next EP kernel, but to no avail. Do you have any specific suggestions that you know will work, or does it just have to be guess-work?

Thanks a lot, the threads are conflicting a bit in info though. After flashing the kernel, do I have to extract the boot.img and flash that in fastboot? Some threads tell me to do this, some threads don't.
EDIT: I tried it and now it seems to work. Thanks a lot for the help guys, you are awesome!

yeah, just like you did with the rom one...
boot.img = kernel
kernel_name.zip = kernel modules
you can avoid flashing the boot.img only if your hox is s-off and the developer put the instruction to flash the boot.img in the updater script inside the zip file... so flash it via fastboot
I wanna keep bootloader unlocked and TWRP recovery. would it be possible to go from the CM12.1 rom to the stock rom? I dont need stock recovery as Ill be reflashing CM12.1 after I have tried out HTC sense 7 and MM
No, i dont think so. Dont you Have a backup in twrp? If no i'm not sure if there is a solution. Maybe take a look on ruu.lalleman.net.

If you Have a backup of your original firmware (Stock ROM) you can restore it and then update your System to 6.0 in your settings, info, device updates(maybe somewhere else in settings)

No idea what cuases that? Maybe do a quick Google search for that issue. You can try Flash twrp again using flashify (play Store)or htc_fastboot

I have TWRP installed.
You can flash a sense rom from TWRP. There are many stock based roms that have few optimizations.
Try Viper, ICE, Leedroid, Sky Dragon, Bad Boyz (might not have international support).
There are also a few stock rooted roms around. It's very easy to flash from recovery. Just make sure you are on the most current Firmware for your device.
If you are looking to go stock with no extras, THIS might be what you are looking for (also elaborates on the write protection issue you are having)
Ooops. I didn't realize your device was the M8s. I think it's kind of silly it's in the same forum, but oh well. Sorry for the confusion.

You're in wrong device thread man ... all your suggested ROMs are meant for M8 only.
They won't work for his/this device.

ahhhhh. I see. Didn't realize this was the M8s they were talking about. I thought it was the M8 general. Thank you for pointing that out. I was wondering why it was so hard for them to find a stock ROM....
Found a fix guys. Will post here if someone has the same issue:
1. boot TWRP, try flashing recovery, get the error
2. go to mount in twrp and turn on mount system as read only, then try flash again
3. go back into mount, turn off mount system as read only, then tap system
4. start the restore, this fixed it for me
