I was running the Leaked Jelly Bean build and then flashed back to CM10 (using nandroid backup) and nothing would load, so I made a USB jig and got the phone into download mode. I re-flashed all the stock software through odin, everything went fine, but then the phone gets stuck on the samsung logo, after the sprint splash screen. Any ideas on what I can try? The phone wont boot into recovery or download mode without the USB jig.
EDIT: Looking into trying this. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1840030
I need the Sprint Boot chains, anyone have links?
My SGH-T999 (T-Mobile Galaxy S3) is soft bricked.
When i try to boot the phone, it vibrates and nothing else.
When I try to go into recovery mode, blue text appears in the upper left corner and nothing else. I use TWRP.
The phone can go into download mode, but the phone shuts down shortly after it boots into download mode.
This happened while trying to flash CM10.1.0 and GAPPS 20130313.
The battery is at full percentage. (checked on friend's phone)
Is there anything i can do?
You can boot into recovery but can't do anything after you do?

Since you say you can go into TWRP recovery, try this before doing anything else.
Go into TWRP recovery and do a "factory reset", "Wipe Cache" and "Wipe Dalvik Cache in TWRP recovery.
(do not wipe system yet)
Then reboot the phone see if it boots up all the way...
If it does then you should odin flash the new 4.1.2 Jellybean stock rooted rom before doing anything else.
If you cannot use the Windows Odin, install Mobile Odin on the phone so you can flash the Odin flash stock
rooted official Jellybean 4.1.2 rom. Let me know if you want more help....
My advice is and has been for a long time is not to flash any CM10/AOSP/AOKP or PORTED roms.
Those roms for the most part were always intended for developers who really know what they are doing.
They are also really excellent for any one who likes to do a lot of experimentation with their phones.
The above is just my personal opinion after my own experiences with the ASOP/AOKP/CM10 and PORTED roms.
Good luck!
My opinion is to read and flash things that don't have people complaining constantly, so look back and see which dates people were happy about the nightly or go to milestones instead or even RCs. To a point junky is right but they aren't for devs nor are ports since there are about 4 very stable ports in the dev section.

Have you tried Odin?

When i try to boot the phone, it vibrates and nothing else. When I turn on the phone, it quickly shows a battery with a little circle then shuts down. I can not even turn my phone on. Any hope for my phone?

Sorry. I was working in Samsung Galaxy S3 Toolkit V7.00 and was up to rooting options and selected #1 Flash Insecure Boot Image and Root Phone. It ran its course and then rebooted but it has not been able to get past an occasional battery picture with a circle in the middle.

Have you tried leaving it in charge for a while, like 30 minutes without being touched. It sounds like your phone is just out of charge.

I have a Galaxy SIII, was using it today, and suddenly it turned off. I thought it ran out of battery, but when I plugged it in and tried turning it on, it went through the start-up process, and just looped with the Samsung logo flashing with the blue in the background. I can get into recovery and download modes, and I tried both using Odin and doing a stock reset in the stock recovery mode. This phone has never been rooted, and the only custom thing that I used is an SD Card and a Mybat 2100 mAh Battery. I had another Galaxy S3 a few months ago that got hard bricked due to custom software, but thanks to AT&T's 9 month warranty, I was able to get that replaced. I really don't want to go through that whole process again, so any help will be awesome.
Hi,
I was trying to install CM 10.2 on my Galaxy Nexus. I did factory reset but my data and all apps were intact so I went to recovery mode and wiped my sdcard.
This removed everything on my phone.
Rebooting stops on the Google Screen and in fastboot mode, I am getting this : "Waiting for device"
Please help me restoring my device back to stock Android.
Thanks in advance.

I have an AT&T Galaxy sIII, It was rooted. I went to factory reset the device, and it keeps freezing at the att screen during the bootup. I've tried odin and putting a stock rom on it, but it keeps failing. I am selling the phone, and I really need it to boot back up to usable conditions. Any ideas or help is needed!!!
Also when I go to wipe data and factory reset it keeps failing and not being able to mount.
What bootloader was on the phone? Where did you get the ROM that you tried to flash in odin?
