I was running CM10 but I got a message whenever I got into the Camera App that said "Unfortunately, Gallery has stopped working", after a research in here I found that I wouldn't get that msg again if I installed this "gapps-jb-picasa-20121011-signed" thing.
I did, but when I got into my Camera App, I didn't have the other options like "Image Effects" and all that stuff.
So, what I did was to Restore my phone from my BackUp folder that I've created before installing CM10, but for my surprise I got a msg saying "VolumeError" or something like that and other things that I can't really remember... and as a good Mexican that I am, I ignored it and hit the Reboot System Now..
What happened next almost made me cry...
I was expecting to get in my stock rom without any problems and yadda yadda but... OH SURPRISE!
I got stuck on the boot screen, where it says "Samsung" and the website of it and I didn't freak out... I waited like 5-6 mins and took the battery out. When I turned again, I tried to get in Recovery Mode but the screen just kept turning off and on and saying the exact same thing, the "Samsung" logo and it's website.
I hope you can help me and please answer me. I don't know if I'm 1000000% screwed but I will only wait for the worst. Sorry for my bad english and don't hate me for being mexican
I don't know if I can get into my phone from my PC but whenever I plug my phone in, it just loads it as if it was in Charging Mode
PLEASE HELP ME!
I BEG YOU!
Flash again CM10 with wipe data, cache, dalvik
If still stuck
Odin to stock ROM, you can search on google to odin the epic

Like @dropple said, it seems you stuck "SAMSUNG" and in this case you can't get into recovery so you can't flash CM10 as of now. Go find some tutorials and Odin back to stock via download mode. Then install CWM recovery if you want and do whatever you like. Should get you outta trouble.

Thanks to Everyone!
I solved this like 2 hrs after all this happened.
I got it by Odin. I couldn't go into Recovery Mode, but I got in Download Mode and do it by Odin.
Sorry, I'm a n00b to all this.
Greetings from México and thanks for all your support.
Here's a weird one for you,
Same thing as OP stated. Device is stuck on logo. Can't get into CWM. Was on People's Rom. Device was lagging really bad. Then the system requested superuser permissions. Yes the system requested. Being as I did not request it, I declined. Shut the device down to see if that would help with the extremely bad lag (i mean BAD lag. Like..........................ok it does something then.......................................................................ok it does something else. 10-20 seconds lag)
Connect device to computer to Odin back to Stock or whatever ROM would have worked, computer recognizes device..... wait for it.......
But in download mode Odin does not see it. Com Port will not illuminate. Tried 3 different cables. Tried 6 different USB ports on computer. Still nothing.
Any ideas, because I'm all out?!?
To the OP:
I would follow the instructions in this video from the part where qbking77 talks about putting the phone in download mode, as you presumably did when you first rooted your phone. Download all the files linked/referenced on the site, especially the Samsung mobile drivers, Odinv3 1.87, CWMRecovery, and the deOxed versions of the stock ROM. In sum:
1) get into recovery mode by holding onto the volume down, camera buttons, and then without letting either of those go, press and hold the power button.
if you get into recovery mode, skip to step 4
2) while your phone is completely off, hold onto the "1" button on the slide out keyboard first, then without letting the 1 button go, press and hold the power button until you're in download mode.
3) flash the version of Clockworkmod
4) once in recovery mode, wipe your phone, clear the cache, and dalvik cache, and then flash the deOxed version of the stock ROM

Do you have the mobile drivers installed on the computer you're trying to connect your phone to?
Yes. The drivers have been installed previously. The computer will see the device as "Samsung SPH-D700 Card USB Device". But Odin3 1.85 will not see it.
EDIT: When I put device into download mode and connect to computer, the computer only sees it as "Gadget Serial".

Have already done that. But just for laughs, I did do it again with no change.
can you get your D700 into download mode as described above?
Yes I can get into download mode but without Odin recognizing the device (not computer. The computer recognizes the device) there is not much I can do.

Try to install another version of Odin or getting Odin from a different server.
My phone is fully recovered and now I'm only SuperUser 'cause I don't want any CM by now.
Greetings from Mexico!
I'm using the same version of Odin I used to root the device. Would a different version really help and if so, what version to use?
I actually have a different version of Odin I used for another device and tried that one as well, with no luck.
EDIT: I have now downloaded and tried 4 different Odin programs with no avail. Again, that makes 6 Odin programs, 6 different USB ports, 3 different cables with the same exact results. The computer recognizes device but Odin will not.

Had a simular issue when I had two odins on the same computer, for a lark and as I had nothing better to do, tried installing drivers and one version of odin to a vertual machine running vista and checked to see if my computer's vertual machine would reconize and it did, I took it as a sine that at one point I had done something to my computer's main os sometime between rooting my epic 4g and frying it (recovering from a backup from a different parition layout I think, bad times with bootloops and seeing way to much of the samsung logo.) So as I'm not brave enough to run odin on vm I instead removed all of odin from my main os and all of the samsung drivers, then reinstalled rebooted and repluged my epic in, got reconition and reflashed with plesure.
The other issue might be that your computer is reconizing the device and try/failing/hanging and not allowing odin in. Had an issue when my computer was failing to pop up a 'what do I do with this' window and hanging round in the system. A reboot with the internet unpluged strangely solved that for some reason, might be the reboot might be the combo, but I find better connection reconition with my computer when I've fewer things connected.
Don't mind the spelling to much I clean up with my other device.

One question I noticed that hasn't been asked is when you plug the phone into the computer while the phone is on, is usb debugging checked? If not, check it, and reinstall drivers again.

Phone does not boot past the "Samsung - www.samsung.com" logo. Plus, as with all of my devices, USB debugging is always checked.
Thanks for the suggestion though. Always helps to double check things.
I believe I am going to take it to Sprint tomorrow.
If I can't get into it, they should not be able to get into to it either. If they can't get into it, HELLO WARRANTY....
Perhaps before doing the whole getting found out thing with the return center, perhaps they do know what they're doing, try rolling this link past your eyes?

I know I've been in your boot problem situation and recovered, it just took persistence and eyenumbing amounts of reading.
Note On the multiple Odin, USB, and driver installation: if you've access to another computer it could be worth wile to run once though on a previously virgin computer, meaning your phone and computers' USB's have never touched. Just do the installation, rebooting, and plugging in exasperatingly meticulous order.

Yep tried the "virgin computer" computer as well. The computer sees the device but Odin does not. Com light will not illuminate.
Sounds grim.
So to rap up all the cables, plugs, computer, and software with odin is out of the debug process.
So I did some digging into the past and if your computer is reconizing and odin is not then ADB (android debug bridge) and the sdk are the other option

Ran across this and it might just be what you need. Its not quick but it has worked for me in the past.
The other thing that may work is ejecting the sd card and battery before doing anything. Though its likely something you've already tried.

Hey all...and to answer the number one question, yes I did do A TON of searches already to find a solution...PLEASE HELP if you have the knowledge
Phone Model: Galaxy S III (SPH-L710) Sprint 16gb
Firmware/ROM: All stock and never tried ANY customization
Problem: I think the problem happened when the phone auto updated to 4.3. Now when the phone tries to boot it just boots to the second Samsung "Samsung Galaxy S III" screen, reboots and then will get to the same screen and just sits there. One time I even let it sit there for 30 minutes just to see if it needed the ridiculous amount of time. When I try to get the phone into recovery mode (Volume UP/Home key/then the Power key) it will boot and on the first Samsung "Samsung" screen, in the top left corner in small print, it shows "booting recovery...". Then it will just go strait to the second Samsung screen then keeps rebooting twice before it will just stop on the second Samsung screen again. When I try to get the phone into ODIN mode (Volume DOWN/Home key/then the Power key) it will boot asking me if I'm sure and to press Volume UP to continue. Once I press Volume UP, to continue, I get to ODIN mode. In the top left corner it shows...
ODIN MODE
Product Name: SPH-710
Custom Binary Download: No
Current Binary: Samsung Official
System Status: Official
(all grayed out) Qualcomm Secureboot: ENABLE
Then in the middle of the screen is the little Android guy. Below that it shows, "Downloading..." "Do not turn off target!!". And it just sits there doing nothing else.
I'm pretty sure I have done everything I could possible do to get it working again. From what I understand there may be other things I can do. Worse case scenario, if I must, I would be willing to loose everything on the phone and start over from scratch, if that's even possible.
There has to be some VERY smart people on here that can help me. This is my wife's phone and we don't have an upgrade until May...PLEASE HELP. Thanks all!!!
Okay 1st go to sammobile.com and download the firmware for d2att also you will need Odin I think it's 3.04. You can search odin on xda there are a few guides to use then put phone in download mode and use odin to flash the firmware, everything u need to follow is posted in sgsIII development forum

I already downloaded latest versions of both. It states, from phone off and unplugged, start phone using ODIN/download route then immediately plug into PC then open ODIN and click the button....but I cant get that far because ODIN app on PC never recognizes the phone to be able to do so.
I'm now starting to get very discouraged because i'm seeing in some places that the device needs to be put into USB debugging mode. Please tell me this isn't true. Because there has never been any reason to put the phone into USB debug mode.
Can someone please confirm this. I'm really crossing my finger that there is a way to do this without needing to be in USB debug mode...PLS PLS PLS!!!

You have to plug the device in from download mode AFTER Odin is running. So, phone in download mode, start Odin, then plug in. Before you go that far are you letting go of the buttons when trying to get to recovery as soon as you seen 'recovery starting' in the top left corner or are you still holding them? If you do not let go the device will continue to attempt a normal boot. If you can get into recovery and do a factory restore it very well may solve your boot issue.
Hello I need help with my phone, can't find a solution. What I tried to do was to install new ROM to my phone. I wiped cache, dalvick cache and nothing else. Tried to install the new ROM but it showed me a error "Status 7" and showed "Installation aborted". Then I rebooted the phone and it asked me if I want to fix something, becouse its lost , but I dont remember what. I clicked Yes, my sreen went black. I pulled the battery out and now, I cant start it, the phone doesn't vibrate when I push the power button I can't go into recovery. Doen't respond to anything It just stays black... Can you guys help me, please... I really don't know what I need to do.
The rom I tried to install: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/development/rom-efextreme-lite-rom-v2-0-t2786248
Phone: SGH-I747
that ROM is for the S3 i9300/i9305. souds like a brick to me. here is a thread that may help get you started. you'll prob. need to know which android version you were on and your bootloader/modem version.

So it appears on a com port in Odin? What stock ROM was on your phone before you flashed a custom ROM?
Yes but odin only says: <ID:0/004> SetupConnection.. and don't continue... I don't remember the ROM, but it was custom ROM. Do you think with SD card I can make it running? I got a SD card, got the files, but don't know how to transfer the files to the SD card, becouse I don't have adaptor to my PC... Can anyone make the card, copy the files and send them to me, so I just move them to my SD card and give it a try?
So the phone does show up in Odin on a com port? Can you post a screen shot of the Odin screen after you try flashing?
What does your phone say when in download mode?
What ROM are you trying to flash in Odin?

I cant get it to download mode, its hard bricked, cant use buttons, cant get to recovery or download its turned off I think...
I see the phone is recognized in Odin on Com 4 which leads me to believe it is in download mode. When you connected the phone to your computer, did you see anything on the phone's screen?
It may be failing because you are trying to flash a 4.1.1 bootloader onto your phone which may have a 4.3 or 4.4.2 bootloader. Do not check the re-partition option and try Odin 3.07.
Odin v3.07 doesnt recognise it.
Try uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers. If it doesn't appear in Odin 3.07, you may have to have the phone jtagged.
Okey guys my phone is working normaly now. When I installed the unbrick image on the SD card it booted from it, managed to make it to download mode, but I had problems with odin. So I just put the last ROM i was with. I pushed the power button clicked restart -> recovery and from then I installed the ROM , but the problem still remained. THe phone was booting only with the SD card, so I looked for bootloader, downloaded it, put it on the phone and bam everything was okey then. Thanks for all who helped me with this, hope this post will help to other guys with bricked phones
here's what I did so far: (pc is using win10pro and original samsung USB cable, swapped with 2 other cables)
put tablet in odin mode, plugged a cable in to tablet and pc, ran odin. odin refuses to recognize the tablet. no error messages, but no com port number comes up. I've downloaded new drivers and installed them several times. when tablet gets plugged in, win10pro comes up with "USB device not recognized." perhaps part of the problem?
looking for the braintrust's advice. tried searching, but my google/bing-fu has fummed...

perhaps that's the trick. I'll try it. the instructions I was looking at didn't mention that.
ugh. I was able to connect to the tablet, but it just won't root (as far as I can tell). I'm on 5.1.1 on the sm-p600 wifi (lt03wifi). debugging is on. odin connects, I use the CF-Auto-Root-lt03wifi-lt03wifixx-smp600.tar.md5 file, and eventually it resets and I get "pass" from odin. the tablet reboots, I get the red "seandroid" warning, the knox count is 1 (I'll take that as a badge of honor), but root checker says it's not rooted, and there's no superuser installed. I'm going to give it one more shot and see what happens.
all this because the OTA of 5.1.1 made the thing so sluggish that I wanted to grab something else to use. I've successfully rooted and re-loaded a couple of other tablets, so I though this would be easy. ugh.
meantime, any other ideas on gaining root? thanks for the help.

cool beans. I'll try it tonight. thanks for the info. unlike my other tablets, there seems to be so much confusing information out there for this tablet. I'm grateful this forum exists...
I don't know what's happening, but something is still wrong. I'm still not rooted, even with following your instructions.
all the "prep" is cool. in "execution" I flashed the full 5.1.1. all is good.
then I flash TWRP. from there it goes sideways. when I hold the vol-up+home+power buttons, it goes to the opening logo (I do see the "SEAndroid" warning on the screen), but it then goes blank, and the logo/warning returns. this happens as long as I hold the buttons. when I let go, the battery gauge comes up. try the key combo again, the same sequence occurs. it seems I never get into TWRP. I did once get to all-red-blue-yellow text "Android Device Recovery" where you use the volume and power keys to select options, but that didn't look like TWRP to me and wouldn't flash anything not "officially signed."
what's supposed to happen when I flash TWRP? what does odin show? do I have to wait for "PASS?" how do I get to the key combo before the tablet reboots? should odin not be set for "auto-reboot" when flashing TWRP? do I flash the compressed TWRP tar file, or do I extract the contents of the tar before flashing?
by the way, I'm trying to use the original non-touch TWRP in your instructions, not the TWRP-touch version.
can you please expand on the execution of this procedure a bit more? my swiss-cheese, colander-like brain isn't grasping something somewhere. thanks...
nevermind. I got it. the fifth try I guess I was fast enough to get to the key combo before it booted.
again, thanks for the help...
please help me!! clearly i am more of a noob than I thought I was!
I rooted my phone using Odin a few months ago. Then it just crapped out on me. Now it is stuck in a boot loop mode. I can get it to recovery mood and download mode. I have tried wiping the cache partition and done the factory rest. That isn't the issue. The issue is that when I have Odin open the phone isn't being recognized. it keeps saying "USB device not recognized. the last USB device you connected to this computer malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it". I have tried reinstalling the drivers for my Sprint S6. I have also updated the media package for my windows 8.1. But it still isn't recognizing the phone. I also tried un instaling and reinstalling. I have smart switch but still nothing. I am not entirely sure how to fix this. Please Help!! Also, in the top left hand corner where it says "kernal is not seandriod enforcing. custom binary blocked by frp lock"
I've exhausted everything best to my knowledge. I appreciate all the help I can get from you experts. Thank all in advance from this tech noob!

Geez... that sucks, and disappointing no one has replied yet.
I hate to reply with a few of the obvious tricks- but it has happened multiple times to me that my phone won't be recognized by ODIN (or anything other than as "charging"). Usually this is solved by switching to other USB ports, and plugging-unplugging a few times, but when that fails (which it does not infrequently)- I have gotten lucky by not just restarting my computer, but actually turning it off, waiting a moment and turning it back on.
Magically sometimes that does it.
Hope that works for you, and that others more senior weigh in on this :good:
I second what spammy said.
I just spent 6 hours fixing my Sprint s6. I got it domestic unlocked and somehow near-bricked it, and then got the dreaded usb not recognized message. Shutting my laptop all the way down and letting it sit a few minutes did the trick and I was able to use Odin afterwards.
update!!
so, i got it to connect by just lifting the tongue a little. It connected to Odin. I tried to flash it using the TAR file but it keeps saying failed. Can anyone tell me why it says "custom binary blocked by frp lock" and how to fix that ? I know I have to connect it to samsung online or something but the phone is stuck in boot loop mode so I cant really do much. Like I said before I tried to flash with the 5.0.2 TAR file and ended up with the following message at the top left and corner in red and black highlight "SW REV. CHECK FAIL. DEVICE: 2. BINARY: 1" what does this mean? is there a fix? and how do I fix it? my phone is already factory rest and I lost everything so I am not concerned about that as long as I can get it to turn back on. Please help me.

so, i got it to connect by just lifting the tongue a little. It connected to Odin. I tried to flash it using the TAR file but it keeps saying failed. Can anyone tell me why it says "custom binary blocked by frp lock" and how to fix that ? I know I have to connect it to samsung online or something but the phone is stuck in boot loop mode so I cant really do much. Like I said before I tried to flash with the 5.0.2 TAR file and ended up with the following message at the top left and corner in red and black highlight "SW REV. CHECK FAIL. DEVICE: 2. BINARY: 1" what does this mean? is there a fix? and how do I fix it? my phone is already factory rest and I lost everything so I am not concerned about that as long as I can get it to turn back on. Please help me.

Where you previously on 5.1.1? If so I hear downgrading causes problems. Download a more recent tar.
Mine is 5.1.1 OL1 modem.
I'm betting that is your problem.

Sounds like your USB is a bit out of wack. You need to make sure that the PC you are using is finding the device properly, loading the drivers, and allowing you to access the internal storage. Just go to "My Computer" on your PC and your device should show up and allow you to access it. Otherwise trying to use Odin will be a waste of your time.
Once you have that Odin should find it no problem. However, if your microUSB on the device is acting intermittent and you start flashing in Odin and it disconnects for a sec there will be issues. You don't want an interrupt during the flash.
If you can do all this go to this link and download Odin 3.10.6 and the OJ7 tar file: http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-galaxy-s6/general/how-to-to-100-stock-root-t3075448
Don't use previous version of Odin as they are confirmed to have issues flashing some tar files on the S6. If it doesn't work try doing another factory reset through stock recovery and try again.
Report back your findings to continue troubleshooting if needed.
Thank you! progress/update

so, i downloaded the 5.1.1 Tar file progress is that I am going to flash it. I have been using the most updated version of Odin (3.10.7) could that be causing the issue? the phone stays connected while its flashing in Odin. Once it is connected I dont mess with it? Also, please answer me if I am able to fix this issue and will i be able to get my phone booted?

I have not used the 3.10.7 version yet but should not be a problem.
Download the tar file, connect the device and make sure Odin shows the device as connected/ready, hit the AP button and select your tar file, then flash and let finish. Then it will reboot automatically and boot up normally.
Try this and post your findings.

i knocked the phone off the computer desk and it disconnected from Odin while it was in progress and it said failed. The phone was in download mode and now it is stuck on a blue screen that has white triangle with exclamation point. it reads "an error has occurred while updating the device software. use the emrgency recovery function in the smart swtch pc software" what did I do?

Dont worry about that. That's what happened to me, but that screen functions the same as Download mode. you can still flash tar files from there.
Here was the link to the tar files I used.

Gladi80rPrincess09 said:
please help me!! clearly i am more of a noob than I thought I was!
I rooted my phone using Odin a few months ago. Then it just crapped out on me. Now it is stuck in a boot loop mode. I can get it to recovery mood and download mode. I have tried wiping the cache partition and done the factory rest. That isn't the issue. The issue is that when I have Odin open the phone isn't being recognized. it keeps saying "USB device not recognized. the last USB device you connected to this computer malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it". I have tried reinstalling the drivers for my Sprint S6. I have also updated the media package for my windows 8.1. But it still isn't recognizing the phone. I also tried un instaling and reinstalling. I have smart switch but still nothing. I am not entirely sure how to fix this. Please Help!! Also, in the top left hand corner where it says "kernal is not seandriod enforcing. custom binary blocked by frp lock"
I've exhausted everything best to my knowledge. I appreciate all the help I can get from you experts. Thank all in advance from this tech noob!
