Rooting Galaxy S3 question - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

I'm new to rooting phones and just got my At&t Galaxy S3 about a month and a half ago. I decided that I was going to root my phone so I followed this guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426). After Odin was finished and my S3 rebooted I got the error message Unfortunately, the process android.process.acore has stopped working. I can't do anything with my phone and I'm not sure what to do any help would be appreciated.

Happened to me too. Just boot back into recovery and do a factory wipe and wipe dalvik and it should boot without fc's

Seems like just a bad flash. I think it happened to me once as well. Just go back into download mode and reflash it.

[Q] I Flashed the Wrong File, Now I Can't Get Past the Samsung Welcome Screen

HELP!!!! I have an SGH-i747 Samsung Galaxy S3 U.S.A. AT&T Model, and I messed up. But I don't think it's real bad, I just don't know how to fix it.
So basically, I rooted the phone a couple of days ago, and later installed ROM Manager ClockWork Mod Recovery. After a couple of days, I finally thought I would try flashing a ROM. I tried to install the ROM with CWM, but instead I accidentally flashed the file "gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip" which is for GingerBread. After the phone rebooted the "SAMSUNG" Logo came on, then the "Rethink Possible" AT&T Logo screen, then it comes to the "Welcome to SAMSUNG SGH-I747 Touch the android to begin." Screen. When I press the Android, the phone acts like it's going start the setup process, but then gives me an ERROR Message that says "Unfortunately, Setup Wizard has stopped." I don't know how to fix this, and haven't found any topics on it yet. Please Help! Thanks in advance.
boot into recovery wipe cache,delvic,and factory reset then reflash the rom of your choice

Do you can reboot in CWM? If you do try to flsh correct GAPPS and see what happend or you can restore you phone usig ODIN or this metod : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1984717 . When you restore you may loose all of data and root in your phone.
Good luck.
Much appreciated guys, I got the S3 working again.

[Q] Samsung Note 2 Stuck On boot Screen

So I am having a problem with my Samsung Galaxy note 2. It was originally with AT&T until the contract had ended so I decided to use T-Mobile instead. I had to downgrade my firmware from 4.3 to unlock because ATT refused to unlock it. Anywho, it was working fine until it started getting this Samsung (ATT) update kept popping up repeatedly and accidentally I pressed for it to apparently download and I didn't realize it until the last minute. My phone began to restart and it got stuck on the "Samsung Galaxy Note 2" boot screen.
To make a long story shorter than what it already is, I tried everything to fix this I could possibly think of. From trying to go back to stock firmware, enter recovery mode (which it will not let me enter) and nothing will work. I am scared I am not going to be able to find a solution, as I've did research and attempts for over 8 hours today, so I'm somewhat on the edge. If anyone could help, it'd be much appreciated! I am also sorry if this type of thread has been posted, it's just I have tried everything on other threads and websites an can't seem to find a solution. Maybe I am doing something wrong, or just can't find the right stuff
Flash (in Odin) the tz-param file linked in post #2 here....

That should allow the ota update to complete and allow phone to boot or at least get you recovery mode and allow you to wipe cache - assuming there are artifacts from the ota.

Thankyou so much! It worked wonderfully!

[Q] Stuck at boot when updating to KK

Hello everyone, this is my first post and pretty much a cry for help.
So I'm not new to the whole rooting scene, as I did many things on my old S3, but I'm having a bit of trouble with my note 3.
I had rooted my device about a week after I got it to remove some bloatware. Flashed some ROMs to try out but ended up back on stock firmware which removed root but didn't really care. Tried to update yesterday and got the whole "you're device has been modified" thing. So I rooted again and downloaded xposed installer and that app to fake system to not get that message. Everything seemed fine, got the update and started downloading. Once it finished downloading and tried updating, I got a failed to update message then back to home screen. Went on some forums and read Kies was working for people who had rooted phones. Tested that out and started working. Download went fine, it started updating, all was good. Said update was complete and it was restarting..... Let the fun begin.
About 10 minutes later (I waited this long because I've flashed plenty of ROMs and I know the initial boot can take forever) and it was stuck at Samsung boot logo. On the top left there was a blue message saying "Recovery Rebooting." I restarted again, same thing. Did a battery pull waited a few minutes and still nothing. Wouldn't go into recovery mode, but it did go into download mode. Assumed something was wrong with the recovery so I flashed a custom one. Finally was able to go into recovery so I did factory reset/cache and rebooted. Phone was still stuck at boot logo but this time no blue message. I then found the 4.4.2 KK md5 file online so I flashed that through Odin but same story. Ended up flashing back to stock 4.3 and that's where I'm at now.
Any ideas? Am I stuck without KK forever? The only thing I think there's left to do is go completely stock by removing the Knox counter or whatever that's currently set to 0x1 on my phone. Doing the whole "Triangle away" thing but idk if that'll make a difference.
Sorry for the really long post but I'd prefer to explain everything I've tried so far.
You might have had a bad download from the odin.tar.md5 file redownload and flash again i have heard other pwople say they had to flash it 2 times for it to take and once u do the update to 4.4.2 you cannot revert back to 4.3

I thought rooted phones weren't allowed to update via Kies or OTA.

I guess I'll try to download it again and see if that works. Do you know if that's through Kies or through manually downloading it then using Odin?

Well it seemed to update for me. At least the verification process went through. I used Wanam Xposed and had the fake system status thing checked. Either way something went wrong and didn't finish the updating process and got stuck at boot logo with no recovery options.
The OTA update did not work though. I was able to get the update downloading after Wanam, but once the download finished, the update failed before trying to install. Did not try OTA again though I just went to Kies, then Odin. But all 3 methods failed.

You could try factory resetting your phone and wiping all the cache and dalvik cache. One possibility why it's saying error on odin is because your cable dosen't work properly or you don't have the phone properly installed on your pc. Try installing the samsung mobile phone drivers.exe and see if it helps!

You could also take it into a Best Buy to the Samsung desk and have them fix it.
