Completely go back to stock? - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

Hello guys, installing the ktoonz kernel in the Serenity 1.2 rom (galaxy note ii at&t) caused it to brick, as in it wouldn't boot up at all, so I managed to get into download mode and I followed the guide that said you need to flash the 10mb boot file and then the stock rom. I did on and it boots but never loads. Anyone have any ideas?

Okay so if you can get into recovery, then you should just flash any ROM from the development section of these forums.

You flashed a different phones rom. Which means the scripts and the radios and everything is off. Don't flash anything that doesn't have a T989 flashable thing oon it. You got lucly. Most people have a full brick. Be careful next time. And go to the Developers section. Download a stock 2.3.6 or Juggernaut v.4.1 and flash in this order
1. Place file on root of sdcard
2. Reboot recovery and wipe data/cache/dalvik cahce (found under advanced)
3. Flash the rom you desire
4. Reboot.
5. Let it sit for a good 10 minutes

Answered you in the other thread you posted as well ...
IF you can get to download mode, find the Stock ODIN flash for t989, and follow the directions, ODIN does not care how full your SD card is ...
Then just odin. Find a stock one that has an Odin Rom next to he title and flasheed that.
1. Go into download mode, turn off unplugged. Then hold volume up and down and then plug in usb chord.
2. Open up odin 1.85
3. Click the pda part and browse foot your rom.
4.click start and be patient don't touch anything

Is this the same thing as putting the ROM on the SDcard and doing it from there?

Yes and NO ...
the term flash or flashing means writing new files to the phone ...
ODIN is pretty much a Samsung factory tool, it will overwrite anything that is on the phone with what you are trying to flash ..
Flashing from CWM recovery is a "Softer" way of doing it, it may or may not wipe, it may or may not replace corrupt files, depending on where and what they are ...
IF you are having major trouble with your phone, and can still get into download mode ODIN is the cleaner way to flash it back to stock, but, read read read read till you understand what you are doing, then read it again ....

Phone stuck at Samsung Logo Screen

Hey guys i am completely stumped.
I tried flashing the aristodemos rom into my phone and ever since then i cant get past the logo screen.
I was running the paranoidandroid rom through the AOSP JB kt474 kernel before i flashed the aristodemos rom.
Since then i have tried flashing the stock kernel and the stock pre-rooted Rogers rom with no luck.
My last shot at it was downloading the Official stock firmware of the sgh-i747m for rogers from the samsung-updates website.
Can someone please help me out here i have tried to hold back and not start my own thread and just look around in the forums but i cant seem to find any solution.
So, if you have any idea on how i can get my phone back up and running please help!
Can you get into recovery mode or not?

Download cm10 and the gaaps and flash them in that order in your recovery. Your phone should work afterwards. Makes sure you clear cache /dev before flash.

Go to firmwares.
Download the one for your phone.
Boot into download. Flash with odin.
The file u downlaoded is to be flashed via cwm or twrp. Not via odin. It will be a zip file. Flash the whole zip together.

Have you gotten back into twrp recovery yet?
If youre stuck in a bootloop which it sounds like...hold volume up home button and power until device turns off and once you see samsung logo let go.
Did you make a back up before you flashed? If so restore it and youll be fine. If not then you need to remember this...always always make a backup. Every thread on here says make a backup before you flash.
And btw I dont hate noobs. We all were at one point and I remember how stressful it can be when you're unsure of what youre doing amd think youve bricked. Pm me if you need help. As long as either you can get into recover via the method I said above or alternative method is plug you phone in your pc, open up cmd prompt in then folder you put all your android root files. (Hold shift and right click in a blank space in the folder, then go to open command propmpt here. Then type in:
adb reboot recovery
That will also get you in recovery.

Which i did and it failed, now my phone won't boot at all anymore, with the message:

So your phone is NOT BRICKED you just can flash a new one ! If you have a backup just make a restore and that's it. Otherwise download a new rom and flash it via flashtool. So keep cool it is not bricked!
As firestorm said, calm down your phone isn't bricked, you have 1 thing to do and 2 options to choose.
1st thing is that you have to flash philz 5.00.5 so you can avoid any bootloops, now you can choose from flashing a custom ROM (after flashing philz of course) or you can restore your backup (if you have one)
With Regards,

Thanks guys, I had spent hours trying to fix it but i didn't make any progress.
Specially when you read that when downgrading 4.3 that it can enable write protection.
So you start to worry etc, But it's fixed now.
Flash back MK4 or higher firmware through ODIN.
Then Recovery. Then some custom ROM.
And DON'T flash any bootloader, you could completely kill your device. MJ5 is needed for those who are still on 4.1.2 or old bootloader. You have newer.

[Q] stuck in cwm

hey, have been reading around but kind of need a quick "this is what you do" answer!
so, flashed cw6 with odin, popped omni rom onto my device , rebooted into cwm6 and installed rom. Install aborted, and now it just boot loops to recovery as its formatted the previous rom.
All i want really is to get a stock rom onto the device (or a fixed status7 issue rom) but i cant for the life of me remember how to get the phone to go into a download mode so i can push the rom over.
Any help?
