Trying to revert to stock ROM AT&T I747

I tried using this process: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746665 to root my phone
After the odin push of the insecure kernel the phone wouldn't boot normally.
I am able to get into download mode, but the phone won't boot.
I'd like to be able to apply a stock rom back to the phone.
When I flash this ROM through odin it fails http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1737848

are you able to get into recovery at all, or no.
There are two 'samsung' screens that i know of, i was stuck at the step 4.
1st: 'samsung'
2nd: 'Samsung Galaxy S III'
3rd: AT&T splash screen
4th: pulsating 'samsung'

I'm going to assume you are stuck on the pulsating Samsung screen. Here is what you should do. Go into the att cwm mode (not the real cwm) by holding volume up, home button, and then power button. Wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache. Then put phone into download mode - volume down, home button, and power button. Open Odin 3.07 on computer, select the from you want to flash in the PDA field, and then plug your phone via the USB cable that came with the phone into a USB port that is connected to your computers motherboard. You should see the COM port turn blue. Flash ROM and you should be good to go.

Yes, I can get into recovery and into download mode.
I was able to flash cwm recovery, but can't access the external SD card to attempt to flash a rom that way.
I tried factory reset/data wipe no luck.
I think something with the kernel i loaded is corrupt, so I need to find a known good stock rom to flash via odin.
It gets to the "2nd: 'Samsung Galaxy S III'" if I go into recovery mode.
Never past the first pulsing Samsung in normal boot, or download modes.

Was able to locate a working stock rom.

May have bricked my GS3

I initially flashed the CM10 JB stable ROM successfully. The only problem I had was that I was unable to transfer files via USB to my computer, so I tried using the toolkit to flash the stock rom, but when it was flashing I got an error message that my phone disconnected.
When I turn my phone on I can only get into download mode. If i just press the power button, I receive a black screen.
I have tried using this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1771687 to flash the stock ROM using ODIN but the phone freezes at the Samsung logo screen after the T-Mobile "4G Android" screen.
Any help is truly appreciated

can you get into recovery mode? if you can, try installing a rom from an external micro sd card (that you know previously worked)

If you got this far, then you need to do a factory reset.

you cant. You need to boot into recovery. Trust me you can get in it, might take a few tries. Try to boot into recovery without the usb cable plugged in.With the phone completely off, and unplugged do the vol-up, home +power combo til it flashes that first screen, it can be a ***** but youll get in

Try turning the device off, remove the battery and leave it there for 60 secs. Make sure the phone is unplug from computer and the hit vol up, home, power until the phone vibrate then release. This should get the phone into the stock recovery.

I really do not think I will be able to get in. I have tried it so many times and even previously could only get into CWM recovery through the app on my phone to boot into recovery. I could never actually get in holding the vol-up+home+power.
Is it possible to flash CWM recovery through ODIN and download mode?
I'm not sure why this stock rom is freezing after I flash it through odin.

i would suggest trying a different cable and if ur gonna use odin again, wipe everything (especially /system!) in recovery before booting into download mode for the odin flash. would also reccomend tryin the legit stock rom in odin (unrooted) if its still freezing on you.

Flash with Odin again, then after it is successfully completed power down phone you have to hold vol up home and power until you see some blue text appear in the top left corner then factory reset from recovery

Yea getting into recovery is tricky if you don't hold the buttons long enough (let go too soon). These guys really gave you great advice.

If you couldn't get into CWM recovery before you screwed the rom then you just aren't doing it right.with phone off, hold up and home, then hold powered button for like 3 sec then let go of only power... but i think you are right the download mode skips the Samsung logo.the recovery puts up Samsung logo before booting recovery. Why can't you Odin a recovery partition ?

I'm actually in the exact same situation. I was simply transferring music to my phone when it went into this boot loop. I've tried using ODIN to flash every possible ROM I've been able to find.
Desperately in need of help.
How exactly do I perform a "wipe"?

1. Can you guys get into Download and or Recovery mode?
2. If recovery is available, did you back up? If so, restore or flash back to original Rom.
3. If you can get into Download mode, flash back to a stock Rom, and start fresh.
Might sound obvious, just trying to help. I've learned that often I thought the phone was "done", but after refusing to give up on it, it came back to life...
Just keep trying , sounds recoverable for both.

You can wipe by getting into recovery. Wipe Data, cache, dalvik cache.

I can only get into download mode and I've tried to flash to stock ROM SEVERAL times now to no avail.
I've noticed that the binary counter isn't going up after each attempt though...

So, does odin say- succeeded or failed or do nothing when you flash?

Says succeeded every single time.

I've already used Odin 4.42 to flash rom's tried some already.

if i press volume donw+volume up + power -> message: LK(litle kernel) and the starts the boot loop

Odin does the flash but with sucess at the end it times out on the rebooting pass.
Kies dont recognize the phone
Wath can i do to revive the phone?
on a post i found this:

Stuck in a boot loop?
Is it still able to boot into CWM(Recovery Mode) or Download Mode.
If it's still able to go back into Download Mode, you don't need this software.
Just turn your Captivate into the Download Mode and flash back to STOCK Eclair or Froyo using Odin 1 Click or whatever similar.
"
where can i get the stock Eclair or Froyo android rom?

Can you get into the recovery menu? (Hold home + Power).
If yes, try factory reset again and also clear the Cache Partition
Also, which roms did you try to flash?

Not sure where to get Éclair or Froyo from, but you can get Gingerbread from here
(go to hotfile.com/dl/156197872/2b59195/S5660XXKTL_S5660DBTKT1_DBT.zip.html)
This is Gingerbread 2.3.6 from Samsung
you will need to extract the zip and then flash the ROM using odin
I have successfully flashed this ROM twice this week.

One of the CyanogenMod ROM's may work for you
Not sure where to get one that you can flash with odin though; would be worth having a look through the Gio's "Android development" forum.

have you tried to flash cwm/twrp via odin and wipe everything?

Possibly soft bricked tab S 10.5 T800

my tab is rooted with Team win recovery, I was gonna sell it . so I went into settings and did a normal factory reset. now its stuck on the samsung logo. definitely been stuck there for awhile, ive tried flashing a stock firmware with odin. odin completes, the tab reboots, and is again stuck on the samsung logo. any ideas please? on a positive note, I can still get into download mode.

Why do people use the factory reset mode from settings? It's unreliable at best and certainly won't work with a custom recovery installed as it only works with stock recovery.
Boot into recovery and factory reset from there.
You should now have the stock recovery if you have flashed the stock firmware.
Wait for at least ten minutes for the tablet to boot.

Letting it die will have no point.
Not being able to get into recovery is 99% pilot error.
Reflash the stock firmware then boot into recovery.
Hold POWER + HOME + DOWN until it restarts then immediately change to VOL UP whilst still holding the other buttons.
