So, I'm pretty sure I bricked my phone. Any help turning this around would help greatly. Here's how I got here. Plan was to Flash CyanogenMod 10. I rooted with no problems. Installed clockwork Mod on my phone. Created a backup of the stock Rom through ClockWork. Then backed up data to my removable SD card. I moved the CM-10 zip to the phone. Launched into recovery. Ran zip and it completed. On first boot got stuck on the CyanogenMod splash screen. After toying around with it (I believe clearing data in recovery). I finally got it to boot and went to install the Google apps zip the same way. That's when the real trouble started, now I can only get it to show the Samsung boot screen and then a blank screen.
I have attempted several How-to unbrick threads. However, the same thing happens to each one. I'll get them to work through Odin, but the phone will restart and go back to the same screen.
Thank you in advance for any help!
Just factory reset/wipe cache and dalvik and flash cm10 again, if I understand correctly you did not follow those steps when you flashed first time and those steps are necessary to be stable.

Did all that and attempted to run the CM zip in recovery can up with an error and stopped installation. Error is right after Installing update it say,
"asset failed: get prop("ro.product.device") == "d2att"
E: Error in /sdcard/CyanogenMod 10/cm-10-20121012-NIGHTLY-d2att.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted."
I've been trying to move a new copy the CyanogenMod to the phone but I can't because it won't connect to the computer now. I can get it to download mode but don't know what to use. I attempted to use a stock file but the phone just reboots into black screen.
Thank you.
If you can get to download mode just use Odin to flash your stock rom

When I first tried flashing CM9/10 on my phone I got the same error. Weird thing is I didn't do anything special to fix it... I just went through a couple Touchwiz roms then a couple weeks later I tried a couple different AOSP ROM's and all of a sudden CM10 works now :s
Try a factory reset through recovery and see if you can flash any other ROMs or something.
did u try restoring your backup that you made?

Have you tried using kies? I was able to repair a bootloop with kies. I was able to get into download mode and then had kies to what i believe was referred to as initiating the firmware. solved.

So I was attempting to do a fresh install of CyanogenMod nightly build #85 while in CWM recovery. I wiped dalvik and /cache, then decided to hit the "Fix permissions" button. Now, I'm not sure what this did, but apparently it wasn't good. After I did that I went to flash the rom and got an error
error in /sdcard/downloads/rom.zip (Status 1)
Here's where I am in a bit of a twist. I figured I'd reboot (thinking my old rom would still boot) only to find out my phone does not get past the splash screen. I can get into the bootloader, however, I had left a PG132.IMG or whatever the file name is in the root of my sd card, and now everytime I load recovery it asks me if I want to install it, and my only option after choosing yes or no is to reboot the phone, so I cannot access the other bootloader options.
What do I do?
Well I seem to have gotten past the sd card issue as I just removed it, lol. But I am still unclear as how to fix this problem.

Yeah just pop out your sdcard boot into bootloader select recovery then pop your card back in whenever recovery comes on and flash something else

So i attempted to root my gs3, i had succeeded in doing so. i had cm10 flash and was looking good but once i tried to flash gapps to my phone, i am now stuck right before the os boots up and get an error message saying that gapps has stopped working and must force close and unfortunately, setup wizard has stopped working. after attempting to recover using twrp, which failed, i tried to flash my recovery zip i had made from titanium backup. now i am still stuck at previously mentioned screen but twrp is now gone and when i boot into recovery mode it comes up with the stock mode. being dumb and thinking that the recovery from titanium would be enough i didn't make a back-up using nandroid. i can still get to download mode as well as recovery mode but i am not entire sure if usb debugging mode is still on or not. i have odin downloaded on my computer but am not entirely sure on how to go about restoring my phone. at this point i'd be happy just to get it back up and running stock. can anyone help?
Update:So i downloaded a stock rom and tried flashing it using odin and now i am stuck on the samsung splash screen. been waiting about 5 min. but would still appreciate any input if possible

If you have Odin already you need to just download the stock rooted rom and flash it. Make sure when you flash a custom Rom that your recovery is up to date and you download the correct gapps package.
Ignore any file names. The video is just too get you accustomed to Odin.

Hi everyone,
I had just rooted my stock i747 (Telus) now, and it was all going well until I couldn't boot into CWM. I read this thread (scroll down to bottom where it talks about "What to do if Phone Boots into Stock Recovery (Android Recovery) instead of CWM"): androidtelegraph.com/guide-install-clockworkmod-cwm-recovery-on-samsung-galaxy-s3-gt-i9300/
In short, I had deleted the two files: "recovery-from-boot.p.", and "install-recovery.sh" in attempt to solve my issue to boot into CWM. Once in CWM, I followed this guide to install a stable CyanogenMod ROM: galaxys3root.com/galaxy-s3-roms/how-to-install-custom-rom-on-rooted-galaxy-s3/
This is where the trouble begins. First, when I attempted to wipe data/factory reset, there was an error. If I recall, it was an error dealing with the mounting of something (probably the stock ROM). Nevertheless, it continued to wipe the data. Next, when I browsed to find the ROM inside the directory and pressed Yes to start installing the ROM, this is where I could not continue. It gave me an error and I do not know how to fix it. I was wondering if it would have to do with the fact that I deleted "recovery-from-boot.p." and "install-recovery.sh" previously.
What went wrong? What do I do? Any feedback would be appreciated! Thanks in advance.
If you can boot into your phone then just use ROM manager to flash CWM again. You also use ADB.
Your other option is to go into Download Mode and use ODIN to install TWRP.

Do the 2 files I deleted affect the flashing of any ROM? If so, how do I get those 2 files back? What is the point of flashing CWM again?? Sorry as I am totally new to all of this!

Basically I would do what the guy told you above. I would also download the ROM you want to flash again and try again without modifying anything. You shouldn't have to modify anything unless the Dev told you otherwise.

Hello guys! I wanted to ask a question about my ace ii. I installed rox's cm11(build with audio not fixed) and used it for a day or two. Then i go into cwm to install cm 10.2 and it says that it failed to install the zip and also a status 7 error.
Also my recovery is permanent cwm with me doing nothing. When i reboot to recovery it goes to cwm 6.0.4.5 automatically..official recovery has disappeared. I tried to delete "assert starting line" and then i get Status 6 error. Then i try to flash cm11 again which i did successfully last time and status 7 error pops up again. I can't flash anything .(can flash cwm 6.0.2.8 but still same error.)
What can i do here guys?

Alrighty will flash again russian mg2.
About the errors did i corrupt anything in some way?
Just did it and it works until i flash cm 10.2(26 nov version) which makes it go in a bootloop(?) (cyanogenmod icon flashes)
EDIT: Goes into cwm 6.0.4.5 again..stock recovery is gone and menu flashes. I think imma stay with stock 4.1.2 until i get to know what it is. Anyone got a clue?
After flashing back to stock did you root ,wipe data, cache and dalvik before install ? I'm thinking you didn't root it

I rooted it..so yeah I tried it again and now it worked..
Early this morning I decided to try to get root and flash a custom rom, either CyanogenMod or Omni. I was able to flash touch recovery and wiped system files and cache. All custom firmwares failed to load. Now when the phone boots up, it goes into OTA activation, activates, does a PRL update, and reboots. Touch recovery repeats the system restore, unattended, and the loop repeats infinitely.
I am looking for a process that will help me cure the reboot loop to let me return to using the stock 4.3, but because of some bugginess I was experiencing, I would prefer a method that rids the knox bootloader and other protections so that I can gain root access and load custom firmwares.
I found a similar thread for a different model number, but I'm sure I'll need specific instructions for this model. Any help is greatly appreciated, as I'd rather not have to figure out a way to destroy the phone to get an insurance replacement. I'm also 23 days away from my upgrade date.
I am offering a $50 bounty for now, and when I upgrade, if possible to retain my phone while getting the upgrade price, you can have the note 2 that you helped fix.

Yeah, I wiped everything when I got home from work (don't know what I was thinking, really). TWRP even warned me no OS was installed, and I was like "so?". Anyway, as soon as it got stuck on the Samsung Galaxy Note II screen, I started the download of that rom you linked to. Still has 10 minutes left (big file is big). I'll come back with an update once I complete these first set of steps.

Yes, I had a rooted stock rom, replied to my texts from the day, then loaded rom manager, installed clockwork recovery. downloaded omni directly to the phone from their website, rebooted into clockwork, flashed, and things were fine. Booted into rooted kitkat 4.4.2, and now I'm flashin the gapps update to enable google services. network and wifi working fine under omni.
Can't thank you enough for helping me out of that hole from earlier.

Yep, I flashed SuperSU in CWM and fixed that. Things are running great. Just need to see what the battery life is like now on a new rom.
