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.

I was trying to install one of drewgarens touchwiz roms. touchwiz milestone 5 firefly i believe. not the most recent one because i was too lazy . boy was that a mistake. everything was going smoothly until it booted and it got stuck on boot. I thought no big deal just go into recovery and use a backup. until i did so and recovery was gone and there was only download mode. I have spent the whole afternoon trying to fix it and none of it has worked. I tried flashing the stock rom and it as well got stuck on boot. I looked at all the AT&t relevant ones and also the international versions. so all in all is there anyway to fix this and has anyone had the same issue? i was flashing from cyanogenmod 10 m1 to the drewgaren rom btw. I can also go to download mode. I tried to flash stock but it still gets stuck on boot. log. I flashed the ATT boot logo and it did not work. all of which were flashed through odin.
any thanks in advance is greatly appreciated.
I think you can flash back to stock with just download mode + odin

Unplug your device. Hold the power button to turn it off. Hold volume up, home, and power. It should go to recovery. If you do the same thing with volume down instead of up, you can get into download mode.

Follow the instructions and you should be able to flash the recovery and continue on with what you were doing. Remember to wipe really good when going from aosp back to any stock based ROM. They are completely different and will cause boot loops if you don't wipe.

K I made it home lol. I'll attach a Odin flashable cwm, it's an older one but it'll get you a recovery, I hope. I just tried it on my phone with Odin, 3.07 both with usb debugging enabled and disabled on my phone and it worked both times. Crap keep getting errors uploading right to xda servers, I'll drop box it in a minute.
Ok here we go Odin cwm--> https://dl.dropbox.com/u/28590257/Odin recovery/CWM-Recovery-LTE-SGS3-v4.tar.md5
Newest twrp --> https://dl.dropbox.com/u/28590257/Odin recovery/twrp2.3.1install.zip
I'll add the newest twrp for you lol. Flash the cwm with odin, should work and then the twrp is a zip you can flash in cwm.
Hope this helps get you a recovery.
Remember in Odin use only PDA and only have auto reboot checked.

This may sound like a stupid question but what boxes do i tick in odin?
After your hooked up and Odin is open under the options on the left side check only Auto Reboot. On the right under files check PDA and use that button to browse your computer and find the cwm you downloaded from my dropbox. Then just hit start on the bottom of the Odin window and let it finish, your phone should reboot when its done. It will get stuck again like you described in your first post but pull the battery, put it back in and boot into recovery using vol up,home and power buttons. That should (if everything flashed OK) put you into cwm 5.5.0.4. Once there wipe data/factory reset then restore the back up you mentioned in your original post, that should get you running again.

If something has happened to your backup then you could try the stock rooted stuff here , just pick the one for your carrier and follow the instructions. :highfive:

That's odd. Couple of stupid questions on my part just to make sure, you had the right button combo, and, you released the buttons soon as the splash screen came on? Can you still get into download mode? Oh and did you do the wipes while in recovery?

oh my gosh THANK YOU SOOOMUCH. I was worried i would have to take it to at&t ill be sure to press the thanks button.
I take it you got your phone working lol. Glad I could help a little. Little advice, anytime you switch to a different type of ROM (aosp to stock based or the other way around) make sure you wipe data/factory reset before flashing anything. It will save you problems in the long run.
Oh and could you go back and edit your original post and just add solved in brackets to the title for people in trouble looking for info.

Depending on which stock ROM you flashed with odin you should now have a recovery, if not then something isn't right. The full bone stock ROM should have the factory 3e recovery, and the root injected stock ROM should have some version of CWM recovery. A factory reset will most likely fix your boot loop, if there is no recovery flash the rooted stock ROM that matches your device from this guide.
Edit - Didn't see there was a second page 0_o
Hi, I have a problem on my Galaxy GIO GT-S5660.
After turning off my phone, this has gone in bootloop. I've tried to search solutions on the forum, but no one has worked.
I can't go into recovery mode, just into Downloading mode and Emergency Downloading mode. When I try to flash it with a stock rom with Odin, it works until the reboot: when the phone is going to reboot, it doesn't start again. Odin takes his 5 minutes and say "PASS", but the phone is in the same bootloop and I can't use the Recovery mode.
I tried to flash the rom with Odin just using One Package option and either putting 4 packages.
Any idea?
Thanks!
P.S.: Do you know what is "Parameter Clear", "PDA format", "MD5 RAM Check" and "Phone Boot Udpate" under the "Debug ONLY" menu? I use Odin Multi Downloader v4.42.
what did you do? rom manager?
cuz not booting and corrupt recovery cant happen out of nothing, and it are complications of using rom manager on the wrong way.

It might have been that I tried to read /dev/stl5 (EFS partition) and that corrupted it. Or it might have been that I tried to flash it using heimdall (which I later discovered doesn't work on Gio). That didn't seem to do anything though, so I'm not sure what actually bricked it.

Can you guys still boot into recovery? If not, try flashing recovery via Odin. Once in recovery, factory reset your device, wipe system, wipe dalvik, wipe everything. Then try once again with Odin to flash your stock ROM - try a one package file (includes everything).

It's happening the same form me... I never used Rom Manager WTH!!! I flashed a lot of times on my samsung galaxy ace stock roms, and never happened this... dunno what to do but this is so strange... can go in download but flash when I flash any stock, stays the same "flash" bootloop, samsung logo only 1s and disappear 1s and the same... nothing...
ok, I'm not sure if i'm posting in the right place, but if not, I'll just have to get some crap about that. I have a note 2 and the 4.3 update was draining my battery faster than was acceptable, so i rooted and flashed cm11 to it. I didn't like cm11 after a few days, so i went to try to return to 4.2.
every time i'd try, there would be either an error extracting the files to my computer or it would fail in odin. i finally got tired of trying and decided to go back to the stock firmware and was going to update back to the current official firmware. i thought it had unrooted, and i got the stock firmware working, but when i went to update back to 4.3, it failed and is now stuck on the "samsung galaxy note II" screen when i turn it on. I can get it into download mode, and i try to reflash various roms hoping something will work at this point, but nothing does. odin says it's successful, but it stays on that same screen when i turn it on.
the only thing i can think of is that i forgot to do a data wipe or clear the cache at some point in trying to get back and forth between roms? the problem is that i can't get back into recovery mode, AT ALL. I've tried every combination of the volume up, down, home and power buttons. I've tried holding all the buttons and plugging in the usb cable, EVERYTHING.
i've searched everywhere on xda and tried all of it, multiple times. I saw a thread about a flashable rom that included a data wipe, but it was for a completely different phone, so i left the thread to search for a compatible option like that. i've rooted a few other phones in the past with success, and failure, but none that couldn't be overcome.

Ok, I don't think it will work as your bootloader are updated to 4.3 version and since you are trying to go back on 4.2 may be that ROM is trying to flash 4.2 bootloaders.

Yes, I think Stock 4.3 will work...Go in download mode and flash 4.3 stock rom from here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2589891
Also, you can find 4.3 bootloaders in above thread. (just make sure that you dont flash "AT&T i317 ODIN 4.3 UCUBMJ4 (Leak) Bootloader & TZ (AT&T Note 2 ONLY)" as these bootloaders are only for 4.3 Leaked version. But since you were on STOCK 4.3, therefore don't flash this bootloader.
I will suggest not to try ROM which ShrekOpher provided as that ROM is leaked 4.3 ROM and has different Bootloader.

You can also try this before flashing any ROM and see if this fix problem for you -
Pull the battery and let the phone sit for a few seconds, pop the battery in and boot into stock recovery (HOLD VOL UP+HOME+POWER) and do a FACTORY RESET then reboot.

In that thread you can also find ROM for Odin. Try installing that ROM via Odin

ive flashed with odin many times with many roms, but nothing is working. it still freezes at the "samsung galaxy note 2" screen. i've tried stock roms, custom roms, and i've even tried doing an emergency firmware install through samsung kies. i can get to download mode, but not recovery mode.
Also, for some reason, my computer is saying many of the zip files are damaged or can't be opened for some reason. I've tried winace, bitzipper, and 7zip, and it does the same on all of them for some of the files. that's what it said for all of the files on that link any idea of a way around it?

You can try to root it by flashing CWM via Odin and then if you can get into recovery mode try to do Factory Reset and reboot. Hopefully this will solve your problem. If Factory reset don't solve your problem then you can flash new room from recovery mode.

You can go into download mode, right? So, I am saying that instead of flashing ROM from Odin. Try to Flash CWM via Odin and then try to put your phone into recovery mode...

1) Pull the battery and let the phone sit for a few seconds,
2) (HOLD VOL UP+HOME+POWER) and
3) pop the battery in while holding those 3 buttons and see if you can get into recovery this way.
If you can get to recovery this way then do Factory Reset and reboot.

I've read thru this thread, and see your having problems everything recovery mode.
Q:
You sure you have a custom recovery installed?
Are you sure it's rooted?
If so then you should be able to install a custom recovery, using goo manger!
You can also look here for info..

So I have read flashed, read some more and I have gotten nowhere in 5 hours. Going to reach out here:
Situation: used Mobile Odin to flash the 4.4 modem from Fenny's 4.4.2 Stock ROM with MK2, (I'm a dumbass). Upon reboot I would get the SG4 logo then the blue mobile odin logo, then freeze. Was able to get into TW 2.7 but nothing would write, would say that it appeared that ROM wasn't rooted. Odin'd cf-auto, brought me back to stock recovery, odin'd TW 2.6.3.1 so now i'm back into custom. Went to go to one of my backups on my extSD, and it restored. Now I'm stuck at the SG4 logo. Attempted to flash firmware back to AMDL to start over..... nothing is happening. Still stuck on logo. Looking for any suggestions, $20 bounty for a fix

First off, please don't post the same question in multiple threads. The Help thread where you posted this was plenty.
Second, try this.
If you are able to get back into recovery, get back to the part where you had twrp 2.6.3.1.
Then restore your backed up rom like you said you already did. (You may still be at that point, but it's not clear if you overwrote that restore when you tried to use Odin.)
Once you are back at that point, wipe cache and dalvik from your restored rom. See if it boots then.

I would recommend downloading the official 4.2.2 tar file and flashing it via Odin from your computer. What bootloader are you on? With the device powered off, press and hold the volume down button, while holding the volume down button, press the power button to turn on your device. Once it vibrates, release the power button. It will prompt you to press volume up to enter download mode, or volume down to cancel and restart. Press volume up. If you do not have Knox use the 4.2.2 tar file and flash that. It seems like your partitions tables are screwed up. So flashing the official tar file will reset that. Afterwards, you will need to flash your custom recovery again through Odin. Then restoring your backups should work.

This is the tar file you will need. Flash this in Odin on your PC and let it do its thing. Then reboot back to download and flash your custom recovery. If you try to boot after flashing official tar, it won't boot. You will need to wipe data and the original factory recovery, if you wipe data using that, it will also wipe your internal sd card as well.

Grab a 4.3 kernel and reflash your kernel. If its stuck at the logo screen its more than likely a kernel issue, if stuck at boot animation, its a ROM issue.
