[Q] Please help, think I bricked - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

I can't seem to find the information for my situation, so I'm asking for help.
I flashed CM10 onto my phone about a month ago. I wanted to try it out, and I liked it, but not quite as much as stock. Today, I tried to flash the stock ATT rom onto the phone. Went through all of the correct steps, factory data reset, cache wipe, went through odin with everything the same as when I flashed CM10. Waited about 10 mins, odin says pass, my phone reboots, goes through the galaxy s3 logo, att logo, then gets stuck at the next samsung logo. I can load it into recovery, and download, so I know this can be fixed, but without a backup, how might I do this?

Recovery > factory reset.
Its a common problem for I think the newer s3s.

I bricked my phone somehow and i need expert help please.

This was in the course of over 20 days.Ok, i was stock rooted, then i flashed CWM, then i flashed AOKP Rom, everything was going smooth. Then i flashed an update to AOKP Rom, then my Data started acting up. Then i flashed Sammy Kernel that goes with AOKP Rom, My data was still acting up. I suspected a corrupt IMEI, so i figured i flash back to stock through odin using stock ATT Images, and try to recover my IMEI. So i flashed Stock ATT image through Odin, but now my phone wont go past the samsung logo. It loads the ATT boot animation, then stays stuck on the samsung logo. Help please.
The expert help you need is to do a full reflash of the phone in ODIN.
When you flashed stock did you also flash the kernel? Might pose an issue

Try flashing the Sammy kernel in cwm. That should fix you up.

Relax its not bricked. Boot into the Samsung recovery the same way you do it to get into cmw and clear cache. It will boot.

[Q] I think I soft bricked my phone?

So I am tired of using preview builds and custom roms,glitchy software and such, I was using a custom ROM, so I go online and search how to go back to stock rom, I found an article that said for the galaxy s3 you just need to do the same thing that you did when you rooted it, go to odin, and flash [PDA] thing to stockbell66.tar file, and I did so, but after the phone rebooted it stayed at the samsung glowing logo forever, I have to OS on my phone now, I tried flashing the stock one and it is now stuck at the samsung logo, I am still able to go back in download mode, and even recovery, but what do I do next? how do I install the stock bell firmware back on to my phone? and how do I fix the soft brick?

[Q] (Q) Rom Flashing soft brick?

Im sorry if this is already posted.
So im trying to flash the Rom Frosty JB 4.1.1-v7 i looked at the guides and steps that the developer gave.
After i follow the steps and reboot, it gets stuck at Samsung Galaxy S3 boot. I waited for 3 mins and then i rebooted again but it gets stuck at the same place.
Im using the T-mobile t999.
And again Im Sorry if this is already posted somewhere.
First boot always takes a long time, I dont think 3 minutes is giving it enough time. Try rebooting but if it goes more like 20 minutes then id say restore backup and redownload rom.

I know it takes along time but when i look at other videos they go pass the [Samsung Galaxy S3] Boot, mine gets stuck. i also tried what you said i rebooted after 20 minutes and re-downloaded the rom but it still gets stuck.
Try to reboot into recovery and factory reset, wipe dalvik/cache.

Are you just flashing the frosty zip? I ask because i had problems because i was having a similar issue caused by flashing ktoons newest kernel which is incompatible with frosty
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
Yup could be a kernel issue you might need to flash another before install or full wipe.

Can't install ROMS or restore backups

I own the Virgin Mobile HTC one V. I tried everything I could think of to get this working but nothing has fixed this issue.. Beginning with stock I try to flash any aosp rom I want, then gapps, and then flash the boot.img as instructed but after doing so I either get random reboots upon trying to boot the phone or it just stays at a black screen. And then when I try to restore my stock backup it always goes past the Virgin Mobile animation but then hangs at the white HTC screen. I even tried flashing the boot.img after restoring that as well but no luck. Went back to complete stock and tried again but I keep getting the same result. Can someone please help me out?

R: Can't install ROMS or restore backups
You need to RUU
I mentioned already going back to stock and trying the whole process again but I get the same result.

go with a ROM like codefireX. no need to downgrade the radio.

use the SR15 release
I've already tried installing this rom. still doesn't solve the issue I'm trying to address...
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
It should, I was having all the same problem until trying that ROM. Are you sure you're wiping all your caches and factory reset?
yea man I've done everything correctly. No matter what ROM including this one, I still fall into the same issue. Could it possibly be a hardware issue?
