[Q] stuck in bootloop with no back up plz help!!!

i think im out of luck here and this is the first time this has happened to me. i recently rooted my note 2 using the toolkit that was in the thread for all variants. i used the mack rom with the perseus kernel. then i recently read that they recommend updating the kernel. i downloaded the kernel and for got about clearing the cache and dalvic cache before flashing. i rebooted and now stuck in bootloop with no backup. i just want to get it to work again but i got a bad feeling that there is nothing i can do about this since i can get anything to my internal memory. twrp is my recovery and they dont mount the sd card yet. any suggestions?

I might suggest holding vol-down/home/power together while b-looping, see if you could get into DL mode, flash something in odin to get back to stock at least, start over. or try to see if that will work with recovery, reflash the kern. but you may be SOL on your current data.
and there's always batt pulling before trying to get to recovery/DL mode, but i try to avoid it when possible. but sometimes that's all ya get.

thank you

Download Mode is Samsung's gift to humanity. They created as penance for being so slow rolling out Android OS updates.

Try wiping caches and fixing permissions in your recovery.

Did you full wipe when flashing? Could have conflicting things, so I'd recommend what the user above suggested.

well here is the issue.. it worked after the flash. i turned it off to save battery on the road and when i rebooted it wouldn't come back on. i found out that after 20 minutes of being booted and not messed with i got the wifi to work but it had to be done that way. and yea i had cleared everything before the install. Thank you for the help

Would it give you any response by clicking the wifi option or it would show that it's on, but not activated?

My Weirdo S3

So I have been beating myself up over a way to unroot my S3 (SGH-T999) for a couple of weeks now to send-in to Samsung for a broken charging/data port as well as a broken audio jack. And I did not particularly care to send it in rooted. So I tried several different methods such as holding the data cable (I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU DO NOT EVER TRY THAT METHOD) to get some files pushed to my device. I know, I know, I could have used ADB Wireless, but sometimes getting that crap working is more frustrating than holding a cable. Anyways I finally realized I could use Mobile Odin Pro to get the job done, voila I am back to stock!
I really am curious about the new update as I was not able to upgrade due to my modified device. So I proceed to download the updates (all 3 of them in succession). The 3rd update to MD5 downloaded perfectly fine. However, when I touch the Start button I get a warning: This Device is Modified Unable to Proceed! UGH! Really?!
That was not the end of the story either. After a couple of reboots I now have portions of the Codename Android theme on my device!!!! Seriously after wiping, reformatting, etc.
Just thought this is strange as he11. Please feel free to advise on how to undo this disaster in 30 minutes or less, LOL!
Thanks for letting me share.

You can use Triangle Away to reset your binary counter, then go to md5.

Triangle away, flash a stock firmware, and you're back to stock.
You could of searched how to unroot 10 different times by the time you were done typing your post bro.

You have to be rootex to use triangle away. I believe hes already unrooted. While updating via otas it suddenly said status was modified, which TA wont fix anyway.
Sounds like your only option is to try Odin. Sorry.

Random rebooting and crashing issues

Hello I am trying to fix a Canadian Virgin Mobile?bell Mobile Galaxy S3 for a friend.
He had installed CM10.1 on it awhile back and somewhere along the line had an issue and tried to back to stock and lost his IMEI number. He did some work himself and was able to get the IMEI number re-injected. But since then the phone has been very unstable, constant apps and processes crashing, random reboots and the like. Was also experiencing issues with the only connecting to 2G/ Edge Data. I searched around and found the solution to the data connection issue.Had to rebuild the NVdata QCN.
The phone still experiencing issues with rebooting and apps crashing all the time. Does anyone have any ideas? I have downloaded stock firmware from SamMobile and tried doing forced updates from Kies. Have searched and been unable to find anything further to attempt.
Thanks for any help.

Sorry thought I had that night.

So I have an idea why the phone is having issues right now. I decided to try loading CM 10.1.2 on the phone. When I had the stock rom running it was the latest 4.1.2 which should be using the latest and greatest JB bootloader included, yet when I try to install CM I get a bootloader error and have to install a new bootloader to get it to install.
This makes me think that for some reason when I am putting stock on here it is downgrading the bootloader and that could be causing issues? Not sure if that makes sense or is even possible. If anyone has input on this would be greatly appreciated.
