ATT Galaxy S3 stcuk at boot

ATT Galaxy S3 stuck at boot (Guys rename the thread)
Guys,
I have a rooted AT&T Galaxy S3. While doing a nandroid recovery, I got an error and the phone was stuck on Samsung Logo. I did the following:
1. Booted into download mode
2. With ODIN I uploaded the stock rooted tar file root69.stock_ATT_I747UCALG1.tar
3. The ODIN passed just fine, however the phone would boot, AT&T logo and than stuck at small SAMSUNG screen with blue light blinking
Found the solution to my problem here:
hxxp://rootgalaxys3iii.com/galaxy-s3-stuck-at-boot
However the 1 click root with CWM installed is for i9300 on the above thread. I need a way to root my phone with ODIN and get CWM installed using AT&T image. I dont care about flash counter. Right now, its just about making my phone alive.
Please help!

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!

[Q] Reverting from CM10 to root injected stock

I was using CM10 on my rooted s3 but decided to go back to a root injected stock rom. Using the odin method I went ahead and did the steps. Now my screen is stuck on a black screen with the Samsung logo. Have I missed a step somewhere? Any help would be appreciated.
Yes - boot to recovery (Vol Up + Home + power button; just like Odin mode, but with Vol Up instead of Vol Down) and wipe data / cache. This should allow your phone to boot.
Just enter recovery and factory reset

thanks. i knew i was stupid and forgot something easy.

Rooting with Toolkit method is not working

So I flashed back to stock with ODIN and it worked fine. I then downloaded the Toolkit program and pressed the number 2 option to root it. I then pressed the number 3 option for 'All in one (root, boot image, busybox etc)" but my phone gets stuck after ODIN restarts my phone. The boot logo disappears and there's nothing to see on the screen.
Soon as u see Samsung logo go into recovery mode and wipe data factory reset. I just flashed back to stock using odin.then I just rooted myself..

Galaxy S3 softbriked? Odis and recovery mode not working.

ATT S3 stuck at the Samsung galaxy 3 logo, i tried to use Odin and flash but it wont work (stuck at system) and I cant access my recovery mode. I try to go into recovery mode but it just reboot and goes back to the logo.
The only thing I can access is DL to try to flash it through Odin but It just not working , I tried the original update from samsung and the jelly bean and it keep getting stuck in the loading system.
please advice , I am desperate.
Are you trying to flash back to stock?
I went through this the other day. Boot into the stock recovery and do a factory reset. Wipe User Data/Factory Reset I believe is the actual option.
Should boot fine after that.
*nevermind... didnt read it properly, obviously wont work if you cant get into recovery... my bad

Or ADB command.
Have you tried: vol up+home and then adding power? When I do the 3 at the same time, it doesn't seem to always work but that way does. Just a shot in the dark.

not working boss,on my samsung wave 2
Looks like you may be soft bricked. You can always send it off to JTag for repair. This guy on eBay does it for $35 and he has 700+ sales with a 100% satisfaction rating http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=271160547396
If you can get into dl mode you can fix it. And make sure that you are trying to get into recovery the right way. I know in times of frustration getting into recovery can be annoying. ...a few deep breaths wait a little while then try for recovery. If not. .. down load the newest odin, erase and down load New drivers for your phone and attempt odin again, Flash stock rooted.

I am having similar issues i'm able to get into download and keis will begin emergency recovery but both options fail at system.img.ext4
recovery is un available and outs me into connect to keis screen which is download ot keis download.
would any one have a stock recovery of original DLK3 that would be for odin, or a location to download it. keis said if I could get into stock recovery....
thankx
i'm not even stressed yet I went thru this once with my captivate and I got out of that one.
I think that running kies and odin at the same time can disrupt odin. Not 100% on that but I always disabled or removed it first as per something I had read. Also if you have been running anything using ADB on your PC, use the task manager to make sure it is not still running in the processes. It has caused me problems getting a connection to the phone to stick.

[Q] T-Mobile Note II stuck on Samsung screen after flashing stock rom. HELP!!

My phone wasn't recognizing my sim card after trying to update my CM11. I decided to install my stock rom and now when I boot my phone it is stuck on the Samsung logo. I've tried researching tons of forums and can't seem to find a solution. Also, when I try to enter recovery mode, it says recovery manual <3e> ?? Have I completely screwed my phone up?

What version of ROM were you on and what stock ROM are you trying to flash ?
Is download mode working ? Are you trying to flash it via ODIN ?
I was using cm-11-20150101-NIGHTLY-t0lte nightly and tried to update to CM12. That apparently messed my phone up to where I had to revert back to CM11. When doing this, my phone came on, booted up, and was useable, but wouldn't recognize my sim card. So I thought I would try and flash my stock rom and that apparently just bricked my phone altogether. I can access my download mode but my custom recovery is gone and when I do enter recovery mode it's the manual recovery with a <3e>??
If stock recovery is working then wipe data/factory reset and then flash stock ROM via ODIN.

What @ciphercodes meant to say was that, whiles stuck on the samsung logo, take out the battery, put back and long press home + power+ vol up buttons together to get into stock recovery and wipe/reset data...and reboot...thats all
