Good evening,
I currently have AOKP d2att 4.1.2 and I'm trying to flash my phone with the stock ROM from Bell using the following link (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426)
For about a month I was able to revert back to my stock ROM without any problem but this week I tried a couple of times to flash it but when it comes to reboot the device I'm stuck at the Samsung (animated logo) screen and that doesn't seem to go through.
Would that be because of the number of flash that I've done on my phone and it's blocking me from restoring it?
Thanks!
Boot into recovery and do a factory reset. Wipe cash data and dalvik. Reboot and should be fine.

I already done that but I'm flashing the stock ROM from Odin (FYI)
Did you do the factory reset after flashing stock ROM?

I am rooted running Jellybean on Sprint Samsung Galaxy S3, tried to install wi fi tether kept asking for superuser permission then froze. On rebooting phone is stuck on samsung logo. Tried unbricking by flashing stock rom with Odin, no success. Is it because I am on Jellybean and am trying to revert to ICS? Please help someone!!! Thanks in advance.

Its because you reverted and didnt wipe data. Reboot to recovery and factory reset

Unfortunately, forgot to mention I tried that several times ....no success. Thank you for your reply.
That's odd. Well if youre trying to revert to ics try flashing this in Odin then. This should set you straight

For the jb odin tar go here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1941546
And btw don't know why you froze but superuser popping up 15 times was normal. I recommend using super su with that wifi tether app
Same thing happened to me
So I am on Stock jelly bean which I downloaded the OTA from here and I am rooted. After installing the wifi mod I went to start it and it keeps asking for superuser permissions over and over. Then it said something about you phone is operating at a unstable state please reboot you phone and now it will not bootup, it gets to the Samsung word after the sprint logo and stays there. I have tried booting into safe mode by holding down left button at logo, by tapping it while it boots. Nothing. Any help would be appreciated.
What the hell this cant be coincidence.
I really need data from an app any suggestions?

Use the link I provided for the jb odin tar. I would recommend the deodex version for you. Shouldn't have to wipe data
Ok ill try

Thanks Ill give it a try.
But just to confirm I flashed the OTA JB when it first was release from a Sprint update. I am stock rooted with custom recovery and possibly I shouldnt have to wipe data.
Worked!

Excellent I flashed the deodex version in previous reply and the pulled battery after flashing in Odin and booted straight in, no data loss.
I'm not new to flashing ROMs, etc. But I'm completely confused on why when I installed the Wicked V4 ROM it works fine, but when i restart my phone it stays on the logo and I have to re flash the ROM again.
Any ideas?

Are you talking about the Galaxy S 4 logo or the boot animation? Either way, you should restore a nandroid backup (hopefully you made one before flashing Wickid V4).
The issue could be caused by not doing a proper wipe before flashing

Could I return to stock using Odin? If so I'll try that when I'm able too.

try a factory reset/wipe first, before you go to stock again

Yeah I thought that would fix it too, but it doesn't. What I've had to do is reflash the ROM after clearing the cache and all of that, along with the factory reset and it works fine, the ROM will boot up and works great,but once I restart it just stays at the Galaxy S 4 logo and I have to do it all over again. I've also tried different recoveries because TWRP always wants a password when I boot into recovery and i'm not sure why.
(I've tried various ROMs and they all do this)
So I guess the only thing I can really do at this point would go ahead and use Odin to go to stock and try it all over again.

AFTER you flash stock rom, perform factory reset wipe, and you wont get stuck. flash recovery. and then flash custom rom and you should be fine
wrong kernels...period

Yeah I'm coming from the Galaxy S 4G so I got some learning to do when it comes to this phone.
And yes that makes sense, obviously a Odin flash of stock should fix the problem?
Or could I just flash a correct Kernel and maybe that will fix the problem? I'm not quite sure.
I'm thinking Odin is the way to go at this point.

I've had success with just flashing the right kernel (and clearing dalvik/cache)...but if you're not already set up within the ROM an Odin would make sure you've got a clean base to work with.

Thanks so much for your input, now with the Wicked V4 ROM, what Kernel would be best to flash?
If you don't know that fine, I'm just curious. :good:
I haven't rebooted my phone yet, so it's working fine, and it's somewhat set up in term of my contacts, texts, and so on. I'd rather not do Odin if possible, but if I have to I will.

That's a matter of preference...just make sure to pull a TW kernel. Of course, the kernel built into Wicked should work just fine as well.
I've been a fan of ktoonsez's kernel (link in my sig). 7/7 got a little crashy on me, but 7/2 has been running smooth
Problem fixed, thanks everyone.
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.
ok i tried the mods and it still will not let me factory reset...

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.

I don't want to be Captain obvious. But have you tried : Menu - settings - Back up and reset - Personal Data - Factory data reset ?

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.
I was on CM 10.2 , and had to revert back to stock since im selling this phone in the following weeks. Anyway, i went into twrp and wiped everything, went into reboot and system. It said phone isnt rooted, would i like to root it and install superSU. i said no. and now i believe i soft bricked it.
How can I put back this phone to stock?
thanks alot guys
