hi i have soft brick my galaxy s3 but its not a simple soft brick and i didn't even try to install a rom are anything i just simply rebooted it and it has been stuck on samsung logo every sense i can get into download mode and cwm recovery and ive tried everything from flashing stock in odin to flashing a custom rom and everything but all i did i root and reboot and it got stuck but ive tried every thing i think please help me if you know the issue im haveing thank you i think this is what happen i picked it up from a verizon galaxy s3 form
there is a risk of the /system and /data partitions not wiping correctly with R/O permissions rather than R/W. This makes it impossible for the phone to boot up because no data can be written this is what i think it could be but i could be wrong so can you guys please help me thank you
Didn't you make a backup you can restore to?

hey buddy read the thread follow directions to the tee an you will be fine. Download mode = volume down + home button + power all at the same time. release power on boot vibrate and screen should pop up. then follow thread i gave you and download the RIGHT software for your phone. flash in pda slot and make sure reparation is UNCHECKED. auto reboot and reset time should be the only thing checked.
going to bed have work early in morning good luck when in doubt search and read in dev section in stickies and google is your friend good luck and have fun!

AOKP Error
Alright I downloaded the AOKP Task650 rom and I followed the developers directions to flash some odin files. However, when I tried flashing the roms I got a Status 7 error. I am now stuck loading and all it displays is the Samsung Galaxy SIII logo. I can enter into recovery and I tried wiping everything and rebooting. Nothing works. Please help!!!
I downloaded the AT&T file and flashed it in Odin: here is the link:

Status 7 means your recovery is outdated, Odin flash the latest version of cmw or twrp

I have an att Note 2 and had recently installed the 4.3 bootloader and tried a couple of the new roms. They were to buggy so I did a full wipe including a data format and restored a Jedi backup. That was this morning. Just a few minutes ago I was attempting to boot into recovery and the phone won't progress past the Samsung logo. Any ideas or suggestions? THanks

If you can get into download mode, you are not bricked.
Go here;
http://samsung-updates.com/latest-firmware/
Select your device. You can find exact model by removing the back. Model number is on a sticker behind the battery.
Download your firmware. Get into download mode. Load Odin. Tick PDA. Navigate to your firmware. Hit Start.
If it fails try downloading the file again as errors during file transfer are actually very common. Then flash in Odin once again.
Also, I want to add, Odin starts "Not Responding" almost immediately after beginning to flash. Don't panic, this is also very common. In fact it's never NOT happened to me when flashing stock firmware for my Note 2 and S3. Just let it do it's thing and a few seconds later it will recover from this and commence the flash.
I actually have an unbrick video on my Youtube channel for the S3. I need to do one for the Note 2 soon.
Oh, and one more thing, sometimes if you are having difficulty with a bootloop and you can't get into recovery or download, pull the battery and do the steps and then try again. I find many times I have to start from a completely powered off device.
Good luck and keep us posted. =-}

Hi, I had a similar problem a day ago, I corupted CWM and couldn't boot into android, When i started my phone a samsung logo appeared and then black screen, I could access download mode ( Power button, Volume - and home button ) So all you do after you enter download mode is download Odin multi downloader, and a flashable ClockworkMOD recovery, ( PM me if you want links ) and flash it into the phone, after that just reboot the phone and you will be just fine.
Press the Thanks button if i helped

Hey,
First put your phone into download mode and plug it in to your PC and make sure Odin recognizes it, then add Ancora.ops in the OPS window and the recovery.tar.md5 in the One package window. Also make sure that One package , Auto reboot and Protect OPS are checked, you should uncheck reset time because i've hear that it is causing some problems. Then just click the " Start " button and sit back, you phone will be back on in few minutes.
Just a question : Did you have any android installed when you corrupted the recovery? If yes, after you flashed the recovery the phone will reboot and will boot into android, if not then just flash the rom file if you already have one in your sdcard/internal storage.
Your phone is soft-bricked, don't worry, it will be back and running again :laugh:
I just corrupted my recovery on my phone on purpose to try if the cwm recovery works. And yes, it worked, so it should work on your phone too.
Good luck flashing your recovery, Please answer back because I want to know if this method worked.
Here are the files, just extract the rar file
Finally i have KitKat!!
Finally Solved!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
After long days and hundred tries, it works finally. The story is as below:
1- I failed to download the CWM 6.0.4.5 directly in this state using ODIN,
2- I downloaded the stock (Yes old 2.3.6 ginger bread ROM) using ODIN. However this version keep rebooting and never completed the start up.
3- With ROM installed now (even it's not booting), i tried to download older version of CWM using ODIN (CWM 5.0.4). It was successful!!
4- I tried to do the restore for my old system, but it failed as i did backup with newer version.
5- I flashed Monster ROM (4.2.2), it works wonderful.
6- I downloaded the CWM 6.0.4.5 finally using ODIN.
7- Now i'm using 4.4.2 on my mobile finally.
Advice: Never do a flashing to your mobile when you are not fully concentrating what you are doing. Also, make sure to download the right tool and ROM for your device.
Thank you for everyone who tried to help me.

Use Odin 3.07. Run it as Admin if using Windows. Download the NB4 Firmware to your desktop. Inside the .zip will be a "M919UVUFNB4 HOME.tar.md5" file. Extract it to your desktop.
Remove the battery from the phone for about a minute. Put the battery back into your phone and hold down the Vol DOWN + Home + Power buttons until you get to the Download mode. Press Vol UP to enter it. Connect your phone to your computer via USB and wait for Odin to show it in the COM: section. UNcheck Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time. Click on the PDA tab and load up the "M919UVUFNB4 HOME.tar.md5" file on your desktop and wait for it to verify md5 (it will freeze for a little bit). Then click Start and see what happens. If it succeeds and says PASS, unplug the phone and hold down the power button until the device turns off and reboots itself. It will be 100% stock once you let it do it's thing and prepare the files.

The kernel not seandroid enforcing message is 100% normal after rooting your phone. That shouldn't have caused you any problems. Try restoring your phone back to stock firmware from above and see if that works. Then proceed to rooting the device again.

Make sure you restore to stock firmware and let the phone boot up at least once before you proceed to root it. Do NOT root it directly after flashing the stock firmware in Odin. If your phone hangs after the seandroid message, pull out the battery and put it back in, and hold Vol UP + Home + Power to boot into the stock recovery and select wipe data/factory reset and then reboot device.

Sweet! You can use CF Auto Root from here

Just load it into the PDA slot and let it do it's magic. Make sure to do the same exact thing and UNcheck auto reboot and f. reset time and manually reboot the phone by holding the power button down.
Glad you got it working.

Bro ask all the questions you want. This is a community to help other people. The first thing you should do is install a custom recovery such as TWRP or PhilZ Touch Recovery. I prefer TWRP since it gives less installation errors for some ROMs. Once you install TWRP make a nandroid of the stock firmware and wipe everything. System/Data/Cache/Dalvik-Cache etc. and then install Wicked.

yeah if you didn't back up first the your boned so odin it is
the process is pretty similar to when you flashed twrp
hold home,vol-down and power to get download/odin mode
fire up odin connect tab wait for it to pickup look in small field [com 1,2,3,etc.]
check pda load your stock image [*.tar.md5]
MAKE SURE REPARTITION IS UNCHECKED
auto reboot checked and reset time should already be checked by default
click start/go and let it do it's thing
make sure it's right image
do not flash a pit file.

1 on a new flash the tab will take a while on first boot
philz touch is good, but what ROM did you flash?
2 if you have an microsd card reader for your pc take the card out of your tab and put into card reader
download svelte rom 4.1 from tab 3 7.0 section . the box your tab came with as well as lokking on the back
of your tab will tell you the model if you only see the wifi logo it's sm-t210r, svelte rom 4.1 is for t210r
so once you download the right rom put it on your microsd card, put the card bak in tab
boot to philz recovery select install from sdcard1/extsdcard etc.
there's a way around things most of the time
be patient keep cool,pay attention to what you do and read and you'll get it

It may appear that firmware has got to be flashed more than once (I have faced a three time flash till success lately).
pls make a screenshot of Odin fail, btw: which Odin version do you use?

I highly recommend custom roms cause they give the maximum which this old device can handle, even Note 4 features and Lollipop experience.
Look into Android development section and find one that you like.
You will need a custom recovery CWM or TWRP flashed through Odin depends on which rom you prefer and find in installation instructions of that rom.

OK, take TWRP - at least 2.8.6.0 from HERE and only which is named "t03g.img.tar" flash through Odin AP/PDA.
Go into recovery by pressing volume up + power + home button and flash rom saved on your extSD.
