So I was running a rooted ROM and used Odin to take my phone back to stock. It said it succeeded fine but it boots up and I keep getting this error and then a TW has stopped error. It just keeps happening over and over again. I tried 2 different stock images with the same result. Can anyone please help me?
Are you posting in the right forum?

Your signature says you're using an HTC one x so you may want to try posting in those forums. In anycase, did you wipe your cache and Dalvik cache? This can help resolve problems when flashing back to stock. Another option is to fix permissions in CWM.

Never updated my sig. It's an AT&T GS3 and I used Odin to go back to stock using the stock files from the thread in the Dev section. Tried multiple times with different files but it keeps happening. Odin says that it was successful but this keeps happening. I really need some help.

Okay, gotchya. I would try restarting your phone in recovery mode (when you flash stock samsung includes a minimal stock recovery). When you get to recovery it should give you options to wipe data/factory reset and cache (similar to what you see in clockworkmod). See if that helps. I recently had a similar problem where the stock rom wouldn't boot after flashing and doing this fixed my problem. Good luck.

Thanks. I'm trying Odin again and I'll try that if it doesn't work.
Dude, you are my hero right now. Had the same error and then did a factory reset from stock recovery and booted right up to the installation wizard screen or whatever. Went through that and all is good. Thanks man, I never even thought of trying the stock recovery.

Hey guys hopefully you can help me. I was rooted for like 3 or 4 months now and have had not many problems or not anything I couldn't fix my self. My phone gets stuck on the Samsung Galaxy s4 screen anytime I reboot. I have tried different roms, different kernels, I even odin back to stock. I was using TWRP 6.0 then reverted back to TWRP 5.2 to see if that was causing the problem. Still have problems. I am going to re download the stock tar to see if it was a bad download but Odin checks the md5 and says it was good. Odin says passed every time also. Odin version is 3.07.
I get a error before and when trying to wipe dalvic cashe. I can wipe reg cash no problem. I think my phone is not mounting the internal storage when it reboots. I could be way off but need help asap. If I format super wipe with twrp then restart twrp and then factory reset I can install or restore a rom some times but still cant restart the phone. Any hope would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT
I wanted to edit my previous commet. LiquidSmooth seems to be running fine. So TW roms and GE roms **** up on my phone when I restart. so is it the internal systems when I have TW roms. I think it has something to do with partictions messing around maybe.
I like TW roms and want to continue to use them... Thank you
Get into recovery and do a factory reset, it is a must after you odin back to stock. Make sure you are also using a tmo kernel.
Thanks you
I got this problem a few days ago and found some topic including this one. You should check it out.
Well, what worked for me was Odin to stock firmware, root again, install recovery then custom rom. Now it's working fine. Try to downloading it again to see if it works. I downloaded mine from here, rooted and recovery it using this one.

+1 to what he said. I bet if you go into the stock recovery after odin flashing it will say something like cannot mount /data partition. Factory reset there, and it should fix that and make it mountable. (Its important to use the stock recovery factory reset after the odin, don't flash a custom recovery right after flashing)
This was incredibly helpful. I had the same issue. Thank you.
This is also applicable to the Verizon Wireless model.
i recently tried to root and put cwm on my sprint galaxy s3 and after i tried in the process i tried to wipe/factory reset and it says it finishes but in red lettering it says cant mount cache and some other things...after i tried wiping my phone would not let me back on my rom and it got stuck on samsung logo, it would still let me in recovery and download mode, then i tried a stock lj7+count reset one click odin app and it put me back to stock but when i go on the phone when it starts up it says the errors that android.acore and android.process and stuff has stopped working...pleaseeeeee help fix ive tried everything and what ive tried doesnt work..
which version of CWM? the newer S3s have mounting issues that has been discussed here New recoveries for new phones that won't mount storage!!
ive tried cwm and stock recovery...its not just cwm
Have you tried just using Odin and the stock tar file? That's what I would start with.
ive tried that
As Jdelano said the e S3 have been modded by Sprint/Samsung in order probably to avoid you from rooting and flashing custom ROMs.
If you use the recoveries found in the OP of the thread he linked you to they have been fixed to work with the new S3's.
Keep in mind you will be able to complete all recovery functions and be able to flash any custom TW rom you choose to, but you will NOT be able to flash AOSP style roms.
Have a great day!
Listen to Ed, he knows all, lol.

Which one did you use? If you tried both recoveries and still had problems. Then I suggest you Odin your device to fully stock and start all over again clean.

I agree, when I said to use Odin I meant the program not the one click app. You said you used that before but you didn't say if you used Odin itself.

OK. Did you ever ODIN back to Factory Stock ? If you did then there should be nothing on the Device. I would again suggest as edfunkycold has. ODIN back to Stock, and start over again.
Greetings,
I was attempting to install a ROM through CWM 6.0.4.7 recovery and it failed during the installation. More like crashed as I did not get an error message or have the robot fall over. After this happened my galaxy s3 started bootlooping. During the bootloop I could still see the cyanogen mod icon present which I thought was strange as I had done a full wipe/factory reset/system format before attempting to install the other ROM. I have been flashing ROM's for over a year but am still learning. Anyway I got back into CWM recovery and attempted to wipe user data/factory reset again to make sure I had a clean install before making a 2nd attempt and I was able to wipe both caches no problem but when I attempt to do factory reset it crashes. I thought maybe it was the recovery so I flashed TWRP through ODIN and tried to factory reset and it also crashes.
I am still able to access download mode and get into custom recoveries but I am not sure what to do now. I have attempted to flash back to CM 11 and Task 650 4.4 but I receive status 7 errors. I have not been able to locate stock restore tar files for 4.3 as all I have read is that 4.3 was an OTA and there is no tar file for it. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.

Are you using the AT&T i747 or the i747M? Looks like your phone does not have a working OS. Please see the post below for a similar problem. If you have the AT&T version, you may try the same recommended solution to get your phone back to working condition via stock restore which you can do from custom recovery ...

That is actually what i was flashing when I encountered my problem. I was finally able to get one of my old ROM's to install after re-flashing the newest CWM through ODIN and reinstalling my bootloader. I am not sure what the problem was as the stock rom 4.3 shouldnt have downgraded it? Perhaps a random crash which corrupted something. The developer on the stock rom has provided a tar file which I may try this time around. Thank you all for your help.
So I was running CM11 M8 and restored back to stock(Root66) BNC1 on my T999L.Ever since that not one single ROM will boot regardless of which recovery I try to flash it with(CWM,TWRP,PhilZ,Multiboot).I can Odin back to BNC1(Root66 or Straight Stock) with no issues and the ROMS never give any error's while installing they just hang at the boot screen.I've tried factory reset with dalvik and cache after flashing as well and get nothing still.My phone works fine still no issues there just not able to sucessfully boot a flashed ROM.Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
How long did you leave it on the boot screen? It can take a while at times

Of course I waited. When I install CM 11 it was almost 30 minutes before I said screw it and restored my nandroid.
Have you tried factory resetting from stock recovery? It will wipe internal sd just so you know.

Yes I have also tried that Doc.
Try flashing another rom from recovery. Before trying to reboot, select Copy Log to SD. See if it has any clues. (It'll be towards the end of the file)
You can post it here if you can't find anything.
Aside from that, all I can think to try is flashing with Odin again and select re-partition.

Did that as well and looked at the log.Did another restore through Odin to complete stock then to Root66 and that seems to have fixed the issue...hmmm no idea what was wrong.
Sometimesbtheres just no good way to know the cause.
Glad to hear it seems to be ok now! For the next several flashes you do, just kerp an eye on how its acting and copy the log to sd each time, just in case. If it still is working ok after a few times it should be ok to go back to doing things like normal.
Hello everyone,
After a long fight to try and get this phone back to normal, everything seemed good,
except not really
I started on a buggy CM11 version. Sick of it, I downloaded a 4.4.4 stock rom. I had to disable firewall and defender, but I got Odin to flash my md5. I got through everything and it booted successfully. After signing in and all that jazz, I find out that my WiFi isn't working. After a few reboots, My 4G finally works and everything seems to be steady.
Then, after exploring the rest of the phone I find out that all my apps from last ROM are still there. I know that you are supposed to wipe before flashing, but I was told that Odin will take care of that. It obviously didn't.
After THAT, I try to boot into Recovery as the next sensible step is to try to wipe my data and cache. I turn the phone off and press (Vol up + Home + Pwr) and the first boot screen shows for a moment. It says in blue "RECOVERY BOOTING" in the corner. Right after, it disappears and in another second it does the same screen without the "RECOVERY BOOTING". And as presumed, it does a regular boot.
What did I miss? How can I wipe my phone from recovery? How can I fix my problem with Wifi?
Reflash in Odin.
Make sure you have the correct stock rom. If you flash the "md5" you may have flashed the wrong thing. The md5 is not tge firmware, that is just the code that verifies your firmware file is not corrupted.
If your old apps were still there, you flashed the wrong thing. There is no way to flash stock firmware in odin and not wipe the data partition.
You are correct then
Yeah, I flashed a tar.md5 in Odin. It gave me a new ROM but all my apps are there. After all that, I still can't go to recovery. I tried using the terminal and ROM Toolbox to go there, both didn't work. Can I just leave it as it is and find a way to recovery or is the only way to go to bootloader and flash a correct file to get to recovery?
Flash twrp and see if it will reboot into recovery, then factory reset and flash latest firmware with Odin right after. Odin will NOT wipe data. It has to be done manually

It depends on what you ate flashing.
If you are flashing a full stock factory image it will wipe user data. If you are just flashing a system partition it won't.

How do I know whatever I download is deodexed? And I went to a page of ROMs someone gave me and I downloaded the NK2 version, which also gave me a tar.md5. If I want the correct thing to flash, what should I flash?

The first post of any customized stock rom will tell you if its deodexed. If it doesn't say it...its not.
@Essem G:
Any updates for us? I'm following this thread because I have similar problems with my WiFi not working after upgrading from 4.2.2.
Any luck getting TWRP flashed?
Also I believe that the stock firmwares do come as tar.md5's, as in the file: M919UVUFNK2_M919TMBFNK2_M919UVUFNK2_HOME.tar.md5 from ShinySide's stock firmware thread.
As for the WiFi issue, from the hours of reading I've done it looks like this problem occurs when you upgrade your firmware, but it no longer matches the bootloader. Such as bootloader (Baseband) showing MDL, but Build Number showing NH7, NK2, etc. What does your show?
This thread may be of use to you when you get back to a working ROM. Good luck!
@RavenMind1
Everyone has been saying different answers and i've put off fixing my device for a while. I'm just afraid i'll brick it forever and have another nightmare after this current one. So no, there has been no progress. I think i'm gonna try to flash Philz and format my system, then flash a deodexed rom. @g7755725 said that you can flash TWRP, but I usually use Philz. It appears to be that I have lost root access because no root features work and SuperSU won't recognize it. Will everything work or am I setting my self up for disaster?
Edit: Where can I find a deodexed rom? I desperately need one, thanks

If you're trying to go back to complete stock then just Odin NK2 firmware. http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-tmobile/general/firmwares-official-mdl-mk2-nb4-t2816508 I used the NK2 from here about 2 days ago to go back to stock.
