Phone won't boot coming from cm9 - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

Just as stated in title. Phone won't boot after flashing back to stock rooted through odin. It just hangs at sansung logo. I don't know what I could've done wrong.

In clockworkmod do a wipe/factory reset after you instal CM9.
That should fix your problem.
Cheers

But he doesn't have CWMR..he went back to stock. I suggest reflashing stock in Odin.

Read something about flashing stock kernel.

you need to go into 3e recovery by holding power up+home button and power until the phone vibrates release power button and then go to factory reset and your phone should boot up. Happened to me once thats how i fixed it.

I had the same problem but coming from AOKP to stock. Make sure your on stock kernel. Thats why I was hanging at Samsung screen.

Need stock ROM .tar file for Odin flash

Hey guys,
I managed to soft brick my device by flashing all sorts of crap today. :laugh:
I am able to get into download mode and Odin recognizes the phone. I have been trying to get my hands on the stock factory ROM in Odin flashable format but haven't had any luck. All the links I have found around here are either broken or are taking so long they are timing out.
If anyone has a working link to the stock ROM that I can flash through Odin I would be very grateful.
Thanks!
Do you have stock recovery? I had same problem before lol.
I will try to seaech my old thread.

No, I was on TWRP Recovery. I flashed from CM10 to the new JB Touchwiz leak after performing a full wipe, which went fine. but then i decided to flash the nav bar mod and a theme just to see how far I could push it. Clearly the limit was hit. :laugh:
Thanks for this. Flashing now.
Strange, after flashing the stock boot image in Odin (which went successfully) I cannot seem to get the phone to boot past the Samsung logo. I also can't boot into recovery (volume up + volume down + power) is not working.
Any ideas?

Boot into recovery (you're doing it wrong) and do a factory reset
Volume up + Home button + power until the screen comes on, then quickly release and you'll be in recovery. Then factory reset, you'll be good to go

If you still want stock:
Download T999UVALH2: http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&model=SGH-T999&pcode=TMB&os=1&type=1#firmware
Flash it through Odin.

Help! SGH-T999 not booting after new nightly, soft bricked?

hi. i have been putting cyanogenmod nightly's on my galaxy s3 since the beginning. at times i would skip versions and what not.
when i went to put on the nightly cyanogenmod (cm-10.1-20130113-NIGHTLY-d2tmo), i installed the gapps version i had always used that worked previously on the phone. setup wizard errors started popping up, couldnt do anything with the phone once it booted.
i have tried to reboot back into clockworkmod to install cyanogen again, but i cannot even get into that anymore.
i then went into Odin, and then i tried to install CWM through that. it did not allow me to go into cwm on reboot.
i then went into Odin again, and installed the stock rom: SGH-T999_TMB_1_20120523140229 hoping to be able to reboot back into that. still no luck.
currently, my phone is unable to boot still. it gets to the Samsung splash screen, and hangs.
any help to get this back up and running, would be much appreciated ^_^

After Odin try and go back into recovery and choose factory reset. Then it should work.

Pull your battery then reboot to recovery (vol up + home button + power) and wipe data/factory reset. Then reboot.

[Q] stuck at "samsung" on boot

I'm following the post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426&nocache=1 (for the second or third time) to flash the stock rooted rom onto my att s3. I've done this before a few times and never had an issue.
I'm following them to the letter tonight and everything goes ok (at least ODIN says its ok...) but the phone won't get past the SAMSUNG logo on the restart. ODIN finishes, I see the green Android guy and a progress bar, then I think it reboots again, I get the samsung/at&t logo with sound, then it just stays on the SAMSUNG screen. I gave it time, up to 20 minutes, to finish anything it was doing.
Any help would be appreciated.
(Why am I doing this? I flashed CM 10.1 and somehow LTE didn't work, so I went to CWM and flashed my backup and I couldn't get any phone/data to work. So thinking something got fouled up I decided to just re-flash from the above post to get what I had, which was working.)

Enter recovery and wipe data/factory reset. You have things from CM10 lingering and this wipe will fix them.

When I try to do that, the screen just goes black.
I tried flashing CWM using heimdall (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1728981) and got this error ... ERROR: Partition "recovery" does not exist in the specified PIT.

you wont have CWM if you have stocked via Odin, but you will have 3e recovery with same option. Use same 3 button combo to get recovery
Suggestion
I sort of had the same issue except I didn't have any issues with recovery. I flashed 4.1.1 via ODIN and then got stuck at the Samsung logo. ODIN said passed so I did a battery pull and booted into stock recovery (holding volume key up + home button (keeping both held until I was in recovery) and hit the power button) and I had to do a factory reset and wipe cache and then reboot. Could maybe try flashing via ODIN again and giving that a shot if you haven't yet.

won't boot past "samsung galaxy sIII" screen

Hi, I have a rooted sIII with stock rom, everything was working fine until I noticed the phone would occasionally freeze and I'd have to reboot. Then suddenly it froze and when I rebooted it would'nt go past the Samsung Galaxy SIII logo, it just stays stuck on there.
I tried power + volume up+ home button and the first time I did it it said "entering manual mode" and some other stuff, but stayed stuck on that - then I rebooted and now it won't respond to the volume up or down method, it vibrates like it's about to boot bu then nothing happens.
What the hell should I do??
Have you tried power+home+vol down to get into download mode? Then Odin back to stock?
Edit: Sorry, just reread your post and saw that you can't get into download mode.
Hit the thanks button!
You will need to enter download mode and use Odin and flash stock ROM and start over. Did you make a backup first? You could try using odin to reinstall custom recovery first.

Sorry for bumping this, but I just wanted to let you know that you pretty much saved me from a heart attack. I was trying to go from a 4.3 rom to a TouchWiz Rom and I wiped the data/system/cache/dalvik and then when I was installing it hung on the Aroma installer. Pulled battery, and the phone wouldn't boot into recovery again.I reinstalled TWRP with odin and it worked! Thanks!!!

[HELP] Phone stuck in bootloop when trying to revert to stock

I am stuck in a very weird state with my phone. I rooted my phone after the 4.3 MK2 update and flashed CWM and a custom ROM. Everything was fine, except the front camera didn't work. So I was told to flash a kernel to fix it.
After flashing the kernel, it entered a weird state, where the screen was all scrambled, and I could not get into recovery. Trying to enter Recovery would show set warranty: recovery and then a black screen. So I downloaded the MK2 stock Tmo ROM and tried to flash it via ODIN (v3.09). While ODIN says successful, the phone is stuck at the T-Mobile 4G LTE white screen for about 5 minutes.
I tried flashing the root and TWRP/CWM recoveries, but I still can't enter recovery.
Could someone please help? I have done everything I know, and I am beginning to suspect that I've damaged the phone permanently.
Do a factory reset in stock recovery. It sometimes takes a while for first boot. Worked for me.

When I press down Vol up and power, it goes blank. I can't access any recovery, stock or custom. Actually, I take that back. I never tried to access stock recovery. I didn't think I had any options to do a reset in stock. Is there?
You can do a reset there.

That worked. It looked like I pressed and held the volume up+power and didn't let go at the right time. Once I got into recovery, I was able to do a factory reset and wipe cache and it booted up.
Thanks.
