[Q] Phone Stuck - Please Help - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

I previously had Cyanogen Mod flashed on my phone and I did not like it. So I decided to flash the original AT&T stock rom back on using ODIN. Well now it boots back up and shows the AT&T logo intro, but it is stuck on the glowing SAMSUNG screen. Can someone give me some ideas to try to fix this. Thank you so much!

boot into recovery and factory reset

Wipe everything. Reflash a stock rom using Odin. Reboot and enjoy. Note that you might not want to use the file you already flashed.

A factory reset will do you fine. No need to reflasha stock ROM with Odin afterwards

AT&T Galaxy S3 won't boot past samsung logo even after flashing stock in Odin

I tried to flash to stock through odin mode and when it's rebooting it shows the Galaxy s3 logo, AT&T logo, and then it reaches the samsung logo and freezes. I'm thinking that the boot image is incorrect but I'm not sure. I tried to use the gs3 toolkit but every option in there requires USB debugging which I can't access since the phone wont boot. Help?
I also cannot find the CWM 5.8.4.7 recovery anywhere I can't restore my nandroid, it says "cannot restore /System" of the nandroid.
The only available CWM i have now is 5.5.X.X.

I kept trying to flash the stock ROM and it finally worked so disregard this thread or delete it please.
For anyone's information this all happened after I flashed the Ultimatum ROM while I was on CM9 nightly.
The ultimatum rom flashed successfully and i rebooted it and then...nothing, it was a black screen.
I still had access to the custom recovery and odin mode but even after restoring a nandroid it wouldn't boot.
I don't know why it did this but my stress is your knowledge.
Thanks!
In the future, just boot into the factory recovery after flashing in Odin and do a factory reset.

I'm having this same problem, stuck at the Samsung logo. This all happened when I was trying to restore to my backup after trying out a JB Rom, but it gave me an error when restoring system. I then tried to flash back to stock using Odin and here I am. Also I am trying to get to recovery but holding the 3 buttons isn't doing anything. Can anyone help me out?
nvm got it all fixed thank god
For anybody who flashes back to stock from ANY non stock rom. You must boot into recovery after the flash is done and clear your cache else you will get stuck at the Samsung logo

Here is a quick fix... spent my 8 hours, so now I am officially PHD in stuck at boot fix. If solution work, kindly hit the thnx button:
This thread didnt help. However I was able to fix my phone. Since I was not able to boot the phone, I was not able to turn on USB debugging that many softwares inluding the link you have mentioned required. So this is what I did for the benefit of those who may face this in the future:
1. Booted into the download mode vol- + power+ home key
2. When in download mode, I installed clockwork recovrey for ATT Samsung S3 which can be found at many links. I cant paste her as I dont have the rights to post links yet. But the filename was CF-SGS3-CWM-v5.5-v1.0.tar. The file I downloaded had a .tar.md5 ext, I just deleted the.md5 extension so I was left with CF-SGS3-CWM-v5.5-v1.0.tar
3. Than I used Odin and selected the above file as PDA and left everything else at default
4. The phone rebooted but again was going to go into the unending samsung logo. So shutdown the phone.
5. Than I did vol+ + home + power key and THANKFULLY booted into recovery
6. Thereone it was simple, that is restore factory defaults, wipe cache, wipe delvik cache etc etc. and boom. I am back in my phone.
Thank god, almost had a mini stroke!!!
P.S. Had lost root upon reboot. Did many things but device would keep loosing root. I went to CWM recovery and selected "fix permissions" bang.. phone back to how I used to like it rooted and booted!
thank you magn2o

omg thank you so much for that. purchased a rooted cynagenmod att s3. was not happy with it. so i flashed it back to stock rom with use of mobil odin. it was stuck on samsung screen while booting up. so i read and researched a bunch of threads. decided to download odin and another tar. samething happened. if i knew it was as easy as a factory reset it would have saved me some time. is there anyway to just post the fix earlier in the thread. or somehow make it come up as the first link when you perform a search? just asking for other people. just in case .thanks again xda. you guys always come through.

Not working for me.
I'm stuck at Samsung Logo.
Tried to do the factory reset in stock recovery that's loaded after ROM install with Odin, no go.
Installed CWM recovery and tried to do reset / wipe cache/ wiped davlik/ no go
Tried to re-download ROM and tried again, no go.
Tried to load TeamWin recovery and do the same thing no go.
Still stuck at Samsung logo -
Waited good 15 20 min and still stuck
I just had the same problem. Flashing Samsung logo...thought that I was screwed. I tried to keep calm throughout the whole thing...(kind of helped) and did this. After Odin failed a few times I decided to restart my computer. After that it had to reinstall the drivers for the phone, ran Odin again, succeeded. Phone booted normally after that. I would suggest keeping the default settings in Odin as it appears (AutoReboot, etc) and do it that way. So:
1) If fails, restart computer.
2)Run Odin with defaults
3)Let the magic work
4) Enjoy your working phone, or start with number one again.
Hope this helps!

I had this exact same situation when I tried to do a restore after i flashed cm 10. It failed on the system folder and the phone was no longer able to connect to computer. I just reflashed the cm10 and it came back to normal boot and would be able to be reverted back to stock threw Odin. If you flashed the stock firmware I'm surprised its not fixed . but I would just somehow flash a new ROM.

Flash a stock ROM with Odin. If it boot loops after Odin, boot into recovery and do a factory reset.

Well, I have an idea but you may not like it. You will lose everything on your internal sd if you do this. If you are on the I747, not the i747m, you can flash the LG1 firmware. It will completely wipe your phone. But you will lose everything on your internal sd. External sd well be safe (remove it anyway, just in case)

I had already flashed stock but when I to boot up the phone it gets stuck at the samsung logo. I can't get into recovery mode because the phone will try to reboot by itself and gets stuck at the samsung logo again.
Lg1, whether stock or rooted, will wipe your phone. It should boot after that.

You have the common odin-back-to-stock boot loop. I think you just aren't booting into stock recovery correctly. A factory reset in stock recovery will fix it.
Also just flashing a stock ROM in Odin will not wipe your phone.

Normally, you would be right about the stock Odin packages not wiping your phone. BUT, there is one exception to that, UCALG1. It will wipe your internal and factory reset at the same time

i ran into this before.
flashed stock without factory resetting first. bootloop. yeah...
boot phone into download mode.
flash this CWM recovery attached below with odin in PDA box.
boot into custom recovery.
factory reset.
now either you are done and you can reboot into stock with custom recovery still installed OR reboot into download mode without letting android boot and flash stock with odin again for pure stock.

Something weird

Hi guys i had the Note 5120 running 4.1.2 and all the while rooted with Framaroot 1.60 and had install multi window manager. I did not install custom recovery so i did not have any backups made as im just a simple user and will make use of the root for some enhancements. Today i installed font installer https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.font.installer. After i chose my desire font, it request for a reboot and i did.
That is where the problem arised. My device is now stuck at the welcome screen with the word Samsung glowing and thats about it. I had done a hard reset but still the same. And i didnt manage to get any further info of my built and anything else *sigh*.
Anyone here be able to help me on this as that is all the rooting i have done on this phone. Never tried Odin or anything else. Hopefully some can help revive my 8 days old Note

Just as i found out about it. I am currently downloading the stock rom from sammobile. Just to be sure that i can place the stock rom in my ext sd card and use stock recovery to flash it after i rename it as update.zip?
you can just do a factory reset in stock recovery and your tablet will go back to factory fresh status..dont bother downloading or flashing anything, just factory reset and you are back to square one
In most cases, you need to extract the tar.md5 file from zip and flash using odin.

Sprint Note 4 - Boot Loop After Xposed

Hey Guys!
I'm having a major problem... so my Sprint Note 4 is stuck in a boot loop. For the life of me I can't figure out how to fix it.
What I had done is just root the device, using CF-Auto-Root method in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/orig-development/sm-n910-cf-auto-root-t2897428
Second, I had just installed "Amplify Battery Extender -Root" from the PlayStore. After getting root.
Third, it required me to install Xposed, after I installed the framework and hit [Install/Update] it seemed to work but after it rebooted, now it's stuck in a bootloop.
Please help team, I'm really lost on this one! :crying:
Just download the stock tar and install via odin pda slot
