so i just my galaxy s3 (tmobile) last night
rooted this morning and i'm kind of stuck in a boot loop
i wiped and tried flashing cm9
gave me an error, so i converted the d2tmo cwm with the tool kit and flash cm9 again
it flashed but will not boot into cm9, so i tried wiping again and it gave me an error message
I can get into download mode, and i can get into recovery
so i know i'm not bricked. I can't get any flashable zips onto the internal memory
also tried an SD card. no luck
what are my options at this point?
thanks in advance!!!
Can you boot into recovery , vol down, power, center button?

This was in the course of over 20 days.Ok, i was stock rooted, then i flashed CWM, then i flashed AOKP Rom, everything was going smooth. Then i flashed an update to AOKP Rom, then my Data started acting up. Then i flashed Sammy Kernel that goes with AOKP Rom, My data was still acting up. I suspected a corrupt IMEI, so i figured i flash back to stock through odin using stock ATT Images, and try to recover my IMEI. So i flashed Stock ATT image through Odin, but now my phone wont go past the samsung logo. It loads the ATT boot animation, then stays stuck on the samsung logo. Help please.
The expert help you need is to do a full reflash of the phone in ODIN.
When you flashed stock did you also flash the kernel? Might pose an issue

Try flashing the Sammy kernel in cwm. That should fix you up.

Relax its not bricked. Boot into the Samsung recovery the same way you do it to get into cmw and clear cache. It will boot.

Firstly, calm down.
Second, upload a rom onto your external sd card and flash it from your recovery.

Didn't work.
If fixed it by downloading Stock ROM with root and flashed it with odin.

Being calm is number one...
Anytime you get a boot loop go into recovery. If you can't right away pull the battery, reinstall battery and he again.
All you need is a factory reset to get out of a boot loop. Happens to the best of us. Not needed to flash with odin.
Glad you're all fixed up regardless

Yea. After I flashed threw Odin but I was still stuck in a boot loop. Factory reset fixed it.
Basically just put phone into download mode, odin'ed newest tar/md5 root 66 file...
let it reboot to the SVMSUNG logo, (it got past the original Galaxy S III) and is stuck here....
I tried just rebooting into download and flashin CWM after 10min of being stuck on the 2nd 'SVMSUNG' logo...
Should I have waited till phone reboots alllllll the way up? Felt like it was never going to...
Give it about 10 mins. But you need to reboot recovery and factory reset. Stock recovery will wipe your internal sdcard.

OK so after I put in download mode, odin the newest root66 tar... after it reboots and stays stuck on the samsung logo, reboot back into recovery mode instead of download, then factory resett?
Exactly.

I went through the same process about a month ago. I was stuck on the Samsung logo for almost an hour and finally pulled the battery and did a factory reset. It worked great but I almost crapped my pants thinking I had my first brick. Hopefully the instructions given to you worked well.

Hello. My friend gave me his phone to try and fix, and it won't boot past the Samsung Galaxy S3 logo. I tried going into recovery, and factory reseting, but no dice. The little android guy in the background of the recovery is dead (lol) when I first get into the recovery. It isn't rooted btw. I tried flashing a custom recovery, but no luck.
I had a similar issue but my phone was rooted. I flashed clock work mod and wiped data a few times. Have you tried putting the phone into download mode then flashing stock firmware?

Using Odin to flash the stock firmware worked

Okay so i bought a samsung Galaxy note 2 on craigslist(not a good idea) and what the seller told me is that it was unlocked. well i got the phone and put my Tmobile sim card and it worked. i tried to do a system update which i kept getting a reminder for and my phone is now stuck on the opening samsung galaxy note 2 sign. well i took it to the cell phone repair places we have around here and none of them could fix it. apparently the guy rooted the phone to unlock it but the phone doesnt have a custom recovery. it can boot to download mode but thats about it. if anyone knows how to fix this i would greatly appreciate your help.
Not bricked. ..
Boot to recovery using the 3 button combination and factory reset the phone. ..then reboot. .
If the device sticks on the splash screen again. ..you'll need to push a new image via Odin. .
But the phone is far from bricked. ..it's just mad...g

Is the phone stolen? Might have been SIM locked.
I would try flashing a stock ROM onto it via Odin. If that fails you probably bought a HOT phone. Or it has hardware damage.

It was unlocked when I got it... it had a custom rom on it and when I tried to do the update it made the phone do what's it doing now.. so what option am I left with? I already tried stock rom and nothing :/

So you have flashed a custom recovery? I can see that you said it did not have a custom recovery on it (but had a custom ROM?). If you haven't flashed the recovery and have not followed the flash to stock instructions (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2275844), then do so (be as specific as possible on the steps you've taken since it seems you might be a beginner at this by trying to update OTA a rooted device).
happened to me too. pull the battery. hold vol up and power and home and then insert battery. Keep holding till the 2nd time it reboots and you see the logo then let go of the buttons. This should put you into recovery. Wipe cache and wipe phone then reboot.
This worked for me, hope it works for you.
Trying to get into recovery mode doesn't work... I am a begginer at this. I tried pulling the battery out and doing the up home and power combo but that does not work.
