Hi everyone,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 T999 and I rooted my phone last night. I was messing around with downloading Roms (foolish of me) when my phone turned off, I charged it and turned it on, but it was stuck and wouldn't get past the Samsung Galaxy S III part. I can still get into Odin mode and I was wondering is there anyway I can bring my phone back to the stock version, if that would help turn it on. Or what could I do? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

1.) Which method did you use for rooting? 2.) Did you flash any ROMs( couldn't tell from your description.
3.) Try going into cwm with hardkeeys and clearing cache and dalvik cache.
4.) How long does it sit on the sgs3 screen before you try again?
5.)did you install any mods.

I downloaded Odin3 v1.85 and had copied SuperUser to my Internal SD card. I don't believe I have that I know of. I downloaded GooManager and Downloaded the BAKED rom. When you say cwm = volume up power and home, correct? I did clear cache and dalvik cache in there. It sits on the Sgs 3 screen untill I shut it off it won't get past it. I didn't install any mods.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1771687 Go there and follow the guide to flash in Odin. It's pre-rooted so all you need is to install custom recovery afterwards to flash roms.

wait to get into clockwork mod its up and down arrows and power button then when it says samsung let go power button but keep holding up and down arrows until clockwork turns on.
once in clockwork factory reset wipe cache and reflash a different rom. if needed dload and new rom and load into clock work it usng mount usb option under advanced to put the rom on your phone then flash it. if you cant get into clockwork go to this guide to use odin to flash back a stock rom and start over.

Oh, you didn't know how to get into CWM.... Also, if someone helps you push his thanks button.
I was running stock rooted G.B. 2.3.6 and just to see what would happen (I kinda knew already) I did the official upgrade to the ICS 4.0.3. Of course it went from UVKL1 to UVLE1 and I had backed everything up with Titanium Backup and also with Rom Manager. I lost root, because I did a factory reset because it wouldn't install the first 2 times. Oh, I was doing it through Kies. I wanted to do it by the book sort of.So after the install I tried to get root again but when I got into CWM recovery I had no functions working except reboot. No update.zip from sd, or anything else. I could scroll up and down and stop on the different options but when I pushed the button to make the choice it jumped back to reboot and that is all I can get. I rebooted and retried 4 or 5 times and same thing. So, now what ? I like the 4.0.3 but hate the massive amount of bloat and the ads and f**ked up notification popup/ads. I want my root back. I would be willing to start fresh again with a good, fast, everything works, custom ICS but don't know which to choose. that is one of the reasons why I tried this "official" upgrade. Again, as always, Thanks in advance for everyone who helps anyone here on XDA. K.K.-Out

I hope it works for you. Check the md5 to make sure you don't have a corrupt download too (of cwm)

Thanks ToledoG28, I tried that link and it wasn't a good page. I appreciate the effort. Maybe you could double check it and let me know.
OP: Here's CWM 5.0.2.6. After flashing and once youre back into your phone, you can install ROM manager and upgrade to whatever you want. Push this via Odin.
This happened to me. I had just had to wipe the cache in recovery and it booted. I would try that first
You have to use darkside wipe and darkside cache wipe. The regular recovery wipe isn't working properly.
You just need to Odin ics.

Guys he can't get into recovery. How can he flash super wipe etc if he can't? And how will odining ics fix that? He needs to odin the recovery i posted.

I got it solved you guys. Thanks to all of you. I did another factory reset, and then found the actual T989 Hercules .tar file (the one I used was from a post for ICS from November or December and was actually an Infuse tar file.) and reinstalled it. I was able to after I got cwm recovery old style not touch. Touch was what was giving me problems. So I Odin the new Hercules.tar and then rereinstalled Superuser zip and everything went smooth. The only thing I am seeing as a problem is the phone won't sleep. If I have the phone plugged in, I can't shut it off. It wants to immediately turn itself back on. I like to have it shut down and charge at night sometimes. But it won't let me. Any ideas? Thanks again everybody.
I'm absolutely confused with how to root my SGH-T999 properly. I know I'm suppose to use the search function and read everything and anything before I post a thread, but I'm seriously overwhelmed with what's what.
So far, I'm trying to follow this guide, but when I go check the md5, it says it's not a match between the file I downloaded and the md5 # on the download page. I figured that since my phone is 4.1.1, I should use this image, but again, I try to check the md5 sums, but it comes out as not a match.
So I'm super paranoid that I might mess something up and brick my phone.
I'm betting you checked the md5 after extracting it. The md5 on the download page is for the file exactly as you downloaded it.
You don't have to worry about an update 'path'. You can get the latest and flash it as per the instructions.
Sent from my SGH-T999L using xda premium
Oh thank god. Yeah, I was checking the extracted file. Thanks for clearing that up.
One more question: Let's say I want to use CyanogenMod 10. Once I've rooted my phone with this method, I could get ClockworkMod recovery (via ROM Manager from the app store) and download the CM10 mod and install the CM10 that way?

Yes. Make sure you follow all the flashing instructions from the thread. You could also install goo manager and install TWRP and find roms through there as well

Yeah, you can use TWRP or CWM to flash roms. It's preference. You don't HAVE to have CWM to flash CM10.
I never used TWRP, but I'm absolutely content with CWM. Hasn't failed me once. Don't fix what's not broken, right?

Alright ****. I think I messed something up.
I installed ROM Manager and downloaded CM10. I then went through the options of rebooting it and installing. But now it's stuck at a spinning circle with "CyanogenMod" in the center. I have no idea what to do or how to get out of it. I've tried forcing it to power down by holding down the power button or doing the three button press (volume down, home and power), but either way, it just shuts down, vibrates a little and reboots itself back to the spinning logo screen.
EDIT: Ok so I've pulled the battery and went into recovery mode. Then I "wiped data/factory reset" and I think I got it to work now. It seems to be at the CM10 home screen now

Pull the battery. Once the screen is black. Put the battery back and boot into recovery(Vol up, home, and power).
When you installed CM10, did you factory reset, wipe cache, and dalvik cache?

Yeah. That's exactly what I did. Pulled the battery, put it back in, factory rest and wiped data. I'm not sure about the dalvik cache though. Once I got to the ClockworkMod recovery mode/screen, I just went to the "wipe data/factory reset option"
Alright, im not completely new to rooting but I have encountered a new problem.
I rooted my phone through odin (galaxy s3 T999), had some hiccups with that so I ended up downloading the stock rom tar and reflashed using that, problem solved good to go still rooted. awesome.
So, I attempted to flash the cyanogen rom using clockwork mod. it wouldn't come past the load screen, went into clockwork mod to recover my backup but for some reason it wouldn't let me access the SD card to get it. next thought was to go back to odin and flash the same file I used previously to get back to where I was, for some reason this is not working, I can get to download, use odin to flash it, says success and all that, then upoon rebooting it stays at the Samsung loading screen.
So from there I went and downloaded the GS3 toolkit and tried all of their recovery files, all having the same issue. about 18 flashes later I tried reformatting from the phone itself, same issue with the samsung logo being stuck. And now, I am currently baffled, anyone wanna help me out? I have a feeling it has something to do with the .pit option on odin, but I am not that advanced and its just a hunch. so...thanks in advance guys!
So I understand not to touch pit, roger, reading other posts makes that clear, but still cant find a fix, the top right of my download says
ODIN MODE
Product Name SGH-T999
Custom Binary yes: 19 counts
Current Binary Samsung Offical
System Status Custom
Qualcomm secureboot Enable
Okay, what is the current state of the device?
Whst do you see when you boot into recovery ( take battery out of phone the put it back in and do the following: hold volume up, home button and power button, let go of all buttons when you feel the phone vibrate and blue text flashes in the upper left corner of the screen)?

I just tried to send a rom over that had CWM 6.0.2.3 and it installed that, but still stuck on logo. going into recovery I am in CWM 6.0.2.3
have the standard options wipe/factory, install from zip etc.
You flashed a rom that had cwm 6.0.2.3 or did you flash a rom while on 6.0.2.3?

I'd say about 98% of the time, when it hangs like that you just need to factory reset.

tried to factory reset and it does the same logo stuck business. That was the last thing i tried after attempting to back up and reflash numerous times. tried flashing again recently, it will install CWM if it is attached to the rom but still gets stuck on the logo. tried re installing odin as well, it is working as usual, starts, restarts the phone, sits awhile, success. then i restart the phone and never get past logo.
I would do what Doc said.
If it still doesnt work, download a rom of your choice (in the t-999 section) and do a full wipe before flashing the rom you picked.

When flashing a new rom, you have to do a full wipe or youll run into problems like you are currently having.
If you dont know what a full wipe is, then stop what you are doing and put your phone down. Just about every rom thread here on xda explains what a full wipe is, it will be in the first post of the thread.
Like I said, find a rom you like in the t-999 section and flash it after doing a full wipe.

Looked it up, that is what I do by default, didn't know thats what was considered a full wipe, just tried it with similar results, didn't know about the dalvik cache though. im on a work computer so I cannot currently DL a new rom from the site, I hope thats what the issue is, but I still cannot see why my other ones would suddenly not work.

I'm just not sure what you mean by it installing CWM attached to a Rom? Recoveries shouldn't be included with a Rom.
Odin flash the root66 firmware, then reboot to STOCK recovery and factory reset. This will wipe all user data, including your internal sd card. Then try rebooting again.

I was trying to root my phone using the samsung gs3 toolkit, but after running it I couldn't turn on my phone. Now, when I turn my phone on, all it does is go to the samsung screen for about a second and turn back off. I have tried factory reset, but that didnt work. I realize it is my fault, and all that other stuff they say before rooting a phone, but would someone please help me?
Did you try wiping partition and delvik cache in recovery? If that doesn't work can you access download mode via volume down + home + power...than flash firmware via odin.

I spent a while googling it, and fixed it. The odin way worked, but i never had the option for the delvik cache which is odd. Thanks for helping
