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?

HI, sorry to bother you guys. I formatted my system in recovery mode and now i cant get passed that dreaded samsung galaxy s3 logo. I can still go to download mode and i can still go to CMW-based recovery v5.5.0.4. I just cant figured out what rom? or firmware? i should download. (I am a noob here so hang in there.) Please help. My last resort is going to sprint and telling them i accidently formatted the system. Again if anyone can help please reply thanks!...:crying:

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.

Easiest thing would be to put a ROM on an SD card and flash it in recovery.
Other option is to Odin back to stock in download.
Edit.....
For future reference here is task's full wipe video to avoid wiping something by accident.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6dYSumHaxwI&feature=youtube_gdata_player
Also please remember to flash and wipe exactly as instructed in the ROM thread
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
My computers will not recognize the phone now
With your ROM being wiped your computer won't recognize your phone unless you are in download mode using Odin to go back to stock.
If you don't have a SD card adapter to put in your computer to put a rom on you'll have to Odin back to stock.

I don't know what carrier you are on but use this guide to download the proper stock (unrooted, you'll need to re-root) ROM for your specific carrier.
All the tools and instructions you need are on this site. Unsure how to use Odin? Try a youtube search for your carrier and model.

I find that if you successfully flash a ROM and get stuck in a boot loop to reboot into recovery and factory reset. Seems to work.

Any old nandroids saved?
Happen to flash a 4.2.1 build lately? Or were you basically stock?

Flashing stock is pretty much your only option. From there, you can flash a custom recovery and then CM10.

The back to stock thingy does not wipe data so when coming from aosp a data wipe is required or you will get missing files and force closes.

[Q] Please HELP Note 2 sprint L900 black screen after samsung logo

So I rooted my Sprint Note 2 using ODIN and everyone's great post. Then I broke my screen and had to do an insurance claim. I then rooted my new phone using the same method -CF-Auto-Root-t0ltespr-t0ltespr-sphl900.tar found out the next day that my headphone jack on the refurbished POS assurance sent me was bad. So I attempted to flash a stock rom (like everyone I could find) so I could have Sprint service center fix it. But now my phone will flash the samsung note 2 screen and then go black. I guess my question is does it matter which stock rom I load? can someone explain the letters and numbers after each file MC2,MA7,PAM LJ1 and so on, which one should I be looking for and what is my next move? I just need to get back to stock rom and a working phone so I can go up there and get mad at someone long enough to get a new phone. I know I'm a noob and there are post that have detailed explanations on flashing stock roms but I have read everyone I could find relating to the l900 which I have come to think is Sprints NOTE II but I am lost and extremely frustrated just want a working phone again. If this helps when my phone was working I was running Macs Allstar ROM shout-out because it is pretty sweet and I remeber it was once on 4.1.2 but the state its in now I dont know please give me a suggestion.
So you were on Macks Rom All Star before you tried to flash the stock rom? If thats the case then you were on MA7 or possibly MC2. Which stock rom did u try to flash? Also can u get into custom recovery still?

Stock recovery or custom? Just making sure you can get into either Twrp or Cwm recovery before you flash billiards stock recovery Rom MC2. Its under Sprint Note 2 Android development. Download it. Verify Md5 and place on your external sd card. Go into recovery, wipe cache, dalvik, n factory reset each 3 times ( on twrp) Install rom. After its done installing hit reboot system. Might ask you if you want to fix root permissions. Hit yes and let its do its thing and it will boot up to stock rom and ready to turn in to sprint with no trace of root or modding.

yes that just stayed on screen tried using Odin and flash the file you had circled on pick and got same result but now im thinking maybe I should have wiped system three times before flashing odin file? I will just wait until you recommend my next move.
Here is where I am at...Installed rom using TWRP. got impatient after a few minutes of looking at the boot screen so I pulled battery went into odin mode downloaded circled file via odin (without wipe or factory reset) and now I am stuck on boot screen going on 5 minutes now. I ll wait.lol

If you have twrp installed already theres no reason to go back into odin. Just pull battery. Enter twrp recovery and install again. Wipe data. Cache. Dalvik. 3 times and install rom again. Hit reboot system after it installs. Click fix root permissions if it asks and let it boot up.

You were trying the MC2 one right? Your baseband is LJ1 so could be why you were getting stuck. I would try the LJC version and see if it boots up for you. Make sure your verifying md5 of the file so you know its a good download.
Edit: charge your phone also to make sure you have enough juice in case you have to try again.

Restored Factory Setting of T-Mobile SGH-4999L, Cannot Boot after

Hi,
I am new here. I checked the internet for answers to my questions and I was brought into this forum. I hope someone answer my question.
So, I restored the factory settings of my T Mobile Samsung Galaxy S3 SGH-T999L. Then when it restarted, only the tmobile 4g lte flashes with the white background, then it won't load.
Can someone please help me. It's been 2 days and it just keeps on going like that. I did everything I removed the battery, I tried to put it in download mode, I downloaded CWM, i rooted, but still won't work....
Please help...
Thanks!!!

Oh ok, sorry I misunderstood your post (read it too fast ) I think a factory reset within cmw might fix it, you could also just flash a rom, that would probably work as well
