[Q] How to get my phone out of bootloop?

I forgot to wipe data, factory reset, and so on. I tried wiping everything data and factory reset... and reinstalling the rom. I am on Team Rogue.

Be careful with the factory reset.
Did you try to use one of sfhubs one click to end the boot loop issue?
Providing you can get into download mode?
:edit: Took about 20 mins to search on your issue and from what I gather, if you can get to Odin mode (download), what I suggested should end the boot loop. Its because cache and delvik weren't wiped from what i'm seeing. Maybe some one has a better answer for you.

It's funny because I soft bricked last night.. But the information I'm about to provide, it may be a shorter easier route but I will just state what I did
I got into odin mode
Once I was in odin mode I connected my phone to my pc.. Let drivers install and my phone was recognize
I had a sfhub one click package (el29 stock rooted) used that.. Phone reset and I was stock rooted again
After that I ran the el29 cwm option from the epic 4G Touch package
Now I wanted to get back to ICS..
So I got into clockwork mod recovery
Flashed Rujelus format x2 zip (calkuins works as well)
Restored my Nandroid (or you can flash a rom(
Before I rebooted I flashed a ics kernel and then rebooted my phone and I'm back running the Blu Kuban.. No issues
*Posted this in another thread..,so this should help you as well.. Thanks to MoHoGalore for pointing me to this post..*

Seemed to be two at the same time with similar issues and your answer fit well.

Was the sfhub what you used to root your phone with at first?
Again I was using Team Rogue's CWM and I forgot to wipe everything off. So I connected my Phone to my PC and my drivers werent there. So I tried reinstalling Kies but apparently they are under maintenance, bummer. So I tried to restore everything with odin3excution v1.81, this whatt I used to root my phone. It wasnt appearing. So I wiped factory reset,cahe, dalvik and so on.... and restarted. Nothing. So I downloaded Odin3 "Android + SLP "v1.85 and my device showed up on odin mode.

Correct I used sfhub's one click at first to root my phone (and get out of a soft brick).. I was on team rogue cwm as well, I believe it doesn't make a difference tho .. And yesterday my device showed up in odin as well but it wasn't successful installing.. As far as Kies.. Hmmm I didn't use Kies.. I installed the samsung drivers to my pc.. I forgot where I downloaded them.. At work right now so I can't provide a link... But a little searching you should be able to find them

Sweet. Could you change your OP title to include answered or resolved?
With new e4gt owners, due to the cheaper sells, might help someone who's looking too. Just a thought.

Glad you are back on track.. Happy flashing my friend

You flirted with bricking your phone by doing a factory reset with CWM Rogue. Glad it worked out but I suggest you don't do that again. Use Calkulin's format all zip instead or flash the stock EL26 kernel and do your factory reset with that, then flash your new Rom

[Q] Can't get LiquidSmooth v2.5 OFFICIAL to load on my Sprint phone

I am trying to get this ROM installed on my Sprint S3: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2148306. My phone is rooted and I have TWRP 2.5.0.0 installed. When I download the file on my pc and transfer it to my phone, I boot into recovery, wipe the data as recommended (already did a backup), and when I try to install, it says "Failed". I can get some other ROMS to work (Goodness, etc.) but this one I can't. The file name is Liquid-JB-v2.5-OFFICIAL-d2spr.zip. Any ideas as to where to start? I can't post in that ROM thread because I don't have more than 10 posts.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

It's either a bad download like evoer said, but more likely it's the firmware you're on. Starting with v2.5, you need to be on MD4 before you can flash the Rom. It'll fail otherwise.
The best way to get on MD4 is to go over the Freeza's Stock Rooted Rom thread and grab the MD4 Firmware update zip:
MD4 Firmware:
MD4 Firmware/modem/baseband update
MD5: EEEAFDBE59CF9C5B492B1A591EC92D02
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The filename should be: Galaxy-S-fre3-MD4FirmwareModemAIO.zip
Just boot into recovery and flash this zip. Restart your phone and verify in Settings - about phone that the baseband ends with "MD4." Then reboot into recovery and flash LiquidSmooth like normal.
Let me know if you have any more problems.

I'm thinking this is it....I am dling it now and will let you know. Should I run it right from TWRP (I currently don't have any ROM installed but I can mount my sdcard and access the file that way) or do a restore and then run it?

Restore any working rom, flash md4, go to settings and verify. Flash liquid...should be golden

topherk and evoer, thanks a BUNCH for helping me with this. That was the problem. As soon as I did a restore, flashed the new MD4, verified it, then flashed liquid, it worked like a charm!
Thanks again! :good:

Samsung GS3 (d2att) not booting but have TWRP Recovery available

Hello all-
I was just recently running CM 10.2 RC1 but had to do an install of the correct gapps as it was randomly rebooting. Well the device now is stuck on the Samsung Galaxy S3 screen with the BLUE cyanogen. I have access to TWRP and am able to reflash the .zip file for CM 10.2 RC1 yet it still won't boot? I did the wipe of dalvik, cache, data and system but still no luck? The device is NOT recognized in Odin. I just want to get the phone up and running again, even if it means root is lost.
Please help!!

Do you have it put into Download Mode before you plug it into the computer for Odin to recognize it? If I had it plugged in before I put mine in download mode Odin would not want to pick it up.'

Get a sd card>download a new rom and put the rom in the sd card and flash like a normal ROM

http://fs1.d-h.st/download/00023/E5R/I747UCDLK3_I747ATTDLK3_I747UCDLK3_HOME.tar.md5 You can download that file and put it in the PDA section once you run Odin and run it from there. This will put your phone back to the Stock Rom 4.1.1 and you can restart from there if you want.

I do have an sd card. Phone isn't recognized in Windows so Im not familiar with how I can get the ROM file onto the card from the computer? Can I download the latest AT&T Stock ROM and flash it via Odin?
What your saying is flash a ROM from the external SD card?

No, with the file I told you to download you do not need to have a SD card because you can't boot into the rom you have Windows will not recognize the phone like normal to drag and drop to it. So with this file you can save it to your computer, Open Odin, put your phone into Download Mode, plug it into the computer so that Odin detects it. Then Click PDA and browse to the file you downloaded and tell it to use that file and then Run the process and it will install the original rom onto your phone.

Can you get into recovery mode by any chance? If you can do that then it should be possible to do a factory reset from within Recovery Mode and possibly get you past the boot screen. If that doesn't help let me know and I will see what else I can find out for you. Also what all did you have checked and unchecked when you Ran Odin to reinstall the Stock Rom? If you had any of them other than Auto-Reboot on that may also have caused a problem http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1722686 here is a forum that will show you how to use Odin. I apologize for not remembering about telling you what to check and uncheck. But try recovery mode first and do a factory reset and if that does not work, redo the odin install this time only having Auto-Reboot checked.

Thanks man! I went back into Recovery and did a factory reset/wipe data and it finally got past that screen. Thanks again for your guidance and help. Any ideas as to what could have possibly caused the issue in the first place? I do want to re-root the device again and I am assuming my best bet is to flash a Stock ROM like you referenced with ROOT injected? What order should I follow, flashing a Stock w/Root injected...and then the Recovery of choice? Or vice-versa? What do you recommend?
Again, your timely responses were greatly appreciated. Was really worried I would have to take it to ATT.

It could have been several things that could cause the ROM to do that. I recommend that you make sure that your Bootloader is up to date and then go from there. Download the newest CWM, do a backup of your current rom so that you can flash back to it if you phone messes up. Then when you try to install a new ROM make sure you Wipe: Data then Cache, then Dalvik Cache in Advanced then Format /System. Then from there Install the new Rom, then install the correct GApps, then wipe Cache and Dalvik cache then Reboot into System. It takes messing up a few times to get it right but as long as you follow the guides pretty close and keep a good backup that you know works or keep the knowledge of how to Inject the Stock Rom to your phone when it messes up you shouldn't have much to worry about.

Sounds good. Thanks for the info. Obviously the device is not currently rooted or did the Factory Rom file you gave me have root injected? Do you have a recommended way of achieving Root with the Samsung SG3? Just installing a custom Recovery won't achieve Root, correct?
Thanks!

BTW, how can I confirm I have the most recent bootloader version? It looks like my phone's current baseband version is i747UCDLK3. I did download the boot_CWM_i747UCDMG2.zip file and put it on the internal storage. Do I just want to flash that file to update my bootloader?
Thanks again!

Yea that is the newest baseband and yea you just flash it. As far as rooting the phone and everything I recommend this forum. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1725839 It has just about everything you could need to know!

Thanks for the information. The phone that has been all screwed up and the reason I posted a thread in the first place is my gf's GS3. I have her's rooted again and running. I am going to update her baseband version and then install a custom ROM so she's up to 4.3.1. As far as mine goes, I have been fine. I myself also still have the outdated bootloader version. Is it ok to just flash that update for the bootloader without it doing anything wrong? I'm asking this since I'm rooted and running a custom ROM with no current problems. In other words, I don't want to end up saying "it wasn't broke, why did I mess with it" ? I did bookmark that thread you referenced in your last message. Damn that thread is LOADED with just about everything one would possibly need to know about Android and making it their own.
So my g/f accepted the OTA update today (not knowing obviously) and she got updated to 4.3 via AT&T, unfortunately!! I attempted to flash the latest Liquid Smooth ROM and I continue to get a FAILED message during installation. It mentions a bunch of bootloader numbers ( I am assuming the only ones this ROM is compatible with?) So is there any way to roll the bootloader back to a compatible one or just go a different route for the custom ROM?
Also, I attempted flashing the file to update my baseband yet when I so into the device, it doesn't show as having the updated version? Is there a different way of doing it or maybe a different file?

I'm not to sure about the troubles that may come about since your gf went with the 4.3 OTA but If I am not mistaken it will need to be downgraded before you try doing anything else to it and if it is not showing that you updated your bootloader on your phone I recommend grabbing the App called Root Checker to double check then look for another file, tho unless it failed it should have updated it or messed up your phone one.

[Q] HELP! i747 cant recover or flash

So my wifes i747 was running 4.0.4 so I decided to upgrade it for her a bit. Im not new to rooting and flashing roms so I figured why not just put a custom KK rom onto it in order to freshen it up a bit for her. I also have to add that it is a ATT S3 unlocked and being used on Tmobile network.
Came to the forums and downloaded SlimKat rom and installed CWM and flashed the new rom. Everything went fine, but in the end my wife didnt like the feel of it and just wanted a new phone. So I traded her my phone and got hers. Well i wasnt a huge fan of the SlimKat rom either, nothing particularly wrong I was just always a CyanogenMod fan. Im having issues right now because I cannot get it to flash any new ROMs without messing up. Ill either get an error in CWM saying it cant flash the new rom or it will Flash but then never leave the LOGO screen. Ive let it sit for 45mins before.
I was able to always restore to a backup and just keep using SlimKat, but just tonight Im no longer able to restore to the backup. CWM sits at "Restoring data... c7ac6bd9.0..." but never actually finishes the restore.
So am I bricked? or what should I try? and also can someone just tell me what Rom/Kernal/Modem I need to flash in order to get it working. Id really like to use the Cyanide L, with Shift kernal but im not sure which modem I need. Tmobile modem or Att modem and which number.
Any help would be great thanks.
Additional info: I wiped cache, dalvik, and system/data everytime I tried to flash new rom, I made a backup and saved to my external before the flash. It is carrier unlocked and rooted. model number is the i747. CWM is v6.0.1.2

Your CWM is outdated.
Flash the latest Philz tar.md5 file in Odin: https://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/d2lte/
The latest KK ROMs will also need an updated bootloader and modem to function properly.

[Q] S3 had a total breakdown.

For the past 3 days i've gone through hell and back with this phone.
To start off I rooted the phone, and that was working fine, my buddy was downloading something (idek what it is and I have no way to get ahold of him to ask him) and after that it busted. Then I somehow deleted my whole operating system.
Since then I have downloaded a 4.3 stock rom (os?) and I have successfully unbricked my phone. Now I have no service, and i'm 99% sure it's because all of my IMEI things are unknown. Now I figure that is an easy fix by downloading a modem?
Before I look into fixing my IMEI problems I would like to get back to 4.4.2 (Kit-Kat I think it was?)
I've downloaded countless ROMs, IMG files (converted to tar.md5), and many versions of Odin.
I've messed with Samsung Kies but I can just tell that this is a garbage program, and I have no clue what i'm doing.
What i'm asking here is help to getting me back to stock 4.4.2 (WITHOUT A ROOT) and possibly fix my IMEI problem and the problem I can't get 3g/mobile data working (snapchat/instagram did not work) (APN maybe?) (I haven't looked into these problems yet, could be super hard, could be fairly easy)
Samsung Galaxy S3 AT&T SGH-i747 is the phone i'm currently working with.
The last thing I tried to do is flash with a boot.tar.md5 and system.tar.md5, it did NOT work, as I was not sure where to put those files at in odin. Boot = Bootloader and System = AP/PDA?
Sorry if I come off as a complete noob, this is literally last resort for me (I've been doing this for 3 days....) as I can probably suspect you guys are very tired of all of these help requests.
Thank you to everybody who reads this, and am looking forward to having a normal phone again.
Edit: First post here

Does the phone boot into download mode? Sounds like it does since you can use Odin.
To get the phone running, copy the latest cm11 or cm 12 to an sd card, copy cm11 Gapps or cm12 Gapps (download the version that matches the ROM you intend to flash), flash a custom recovery (I prefer CWM for the d2lte or Philz Touch for the d2lte), boot into recovery, do a full wipe, flash cm, flash Gapps, boot the phone.

sick thanks for the response homie.
i'm not exactly sure which CM to download, I went to the d2ltes since that's the closest thing to my device I found in that list.
I also went to cwm rom managers and downloaded the recovery setup, i'm guessing I convert that and flash it using odin and voila, I have cwm?
and for the cm11 gapps I went to this website and downloaded the zip file, going to just put that on my sd card with the CM (when I figure out which one to download)
am I headed in the right direction?
edit: okay I got cwm recovery on my phone... thats good
edit 2: alright downloading cm12 and alreayd have cmgapps in a zip ready to be put in my sd card. i'll let you know how installing it with cwm goes. thank you for your help man I really appreciate it.
edit 3: how would I go about installing it via owm? everytime I install from sd card it resets my phone, just go back into recovery and install the second zip? or is there a way I can install both at once?

Boot into cwm, wipe cache, wipe data, wipe dalvik, install cm1 from sd card, install gapps, reboot.
The i747 is also known as the d2lte so anything designed for the d2lte is good.

alright! couldn't thank you enough. like I said i'll keep you updated!
edit: i'm in the cwm recovery or w.e and there is a different keyboard as i'm doing this, does this transfer over to be my real keyboard after the cwm recovery stuff? if not, how do I get this keyboard?
edit 2: wow this is totally different, sick.. let me play around with it, i'm sure i'll have some questions.

alright, phone number is still not available, imei and imei sv is still not available, same with everything in the SIM status.
going to try and find a modem for my model.
no luck so far, if someone could help search for a MODEM for SGH-i747 AT&T s3 that would be great..
sorry for being so needy.. thanks for hanging in here and helping me out.
edit: I found this link but it's for 4.4.2... it says do not use it if you're on 4.3.... is it okay if i'm at like 5.1.1 cwm?
well, I cannot post the link and I do not want to find a way around to post the link incase a mod shuts this thread down. if you want the link you may PM me..
edit 2: okay so google play services does NOT work, and I need that in order to open skype.. so that's on another thing on the list of **** to fix. However I just downloaded an apk and I need to put it in system/apps but i'm not sure where to find that... i'll probably end up downloading it on the phone and dropping it in with a file manager.
edit 3: none of this worked, I still need google play services to get installed..

Does the phone boot to the desktop? Which rom did his try? Try the latest cm10.2 for the d2lte.
Are you able to install a terminal app or Samsung phone info app?
Try and find the apk version of the app and just install it from the file browser.

It tells me "It cannot be installed". I will find 10.2 for d2lte... assuming I find the corresponding GApps.
I also could have ran all of the other google apps... "google +, playstore, youtube, etc"
edit: I cannot find cm 10.2, lowest I can find for d2lte is 11. should I try that instead?

These are all the zips i'm installing with cwm when I wipe/reset my phone totally:
Calkulin's Google Play Service modded (so google play services works)
cm-11
gapps-kk-20140606
and I am currently messing with modem files to get my service back, i'm about to try my second one.. wish me luck!
edit: I can't get my baseband model to show, nor my imei numbers to come, they all stay unknown.. if someone would like to do some sort of 1 on 1 that would be awesome.

You could also try the cm for the d2att.

trying it now! should I use a specific gapps? maybe for 5.1.1? cause 12.1 uses 5.1.1 if i'm not mistaken.

There are separate gapps for cm10.2, cm11, and cm12.
It sounds to me like there is a problem with the modem and bootloader combination on the phone.
What specific bootloader version is on the phone?

so after I download cm12.1 and cm12gapps, I should look further into the bootloader/modem problem?
i've tried a few modems for i747 and i've had no luck so far unfortunately, if someone else reading this has had experience or knows someone who has experiences null baseband / imei numbers let me know!
edit: oops, my mistake.. just saw the last part of your post now. i'm not sure how to find out my bootloader.

Use the terminal app and type getprop ro.bootloader.

i'm certain the only problem I have now is the IMEI (no sim service) besides that everything is good now!

Alright I've now figured out that I do NOT have ANY efs files for samsung galaxy I747UCUFNJ1.
I have the imei number from the back of my phone.
I tried the EFS pro method and when I click "backup" an error pops up and says "Block device does NOT exist"
I'm so confused and I need help lol

wow, I fixed it! I installed the correct modem corresponding to my baseband / bootloader something like that.. wow. most stressful 4 days of my life
ty so much

Glad you got it working. This is why I kept asking about the modem and suggesting that the modem doesn't match the bootloader.
