I follows this guide to update my phone to android 4.2, but in step 13, i forgot to use clockmod recovery so I skip it. I select recovery and my phone reset but when it turn on. the update icons appears for few seconds and the error icons show up on the boot screen. I don't know what to do so I just turn off my phone. but when i turn it on again, my phone just keep reset over over again it doesn't start the android.

here is the guide that I followed
My recommendation is to go back to a more stock ROM. You don't sound particularly experienced, and this ROM is not a finished product.
You need to hold power + vol down to get back to the boot loader.
My guess is you haven't flashed the boot.img.
Let us know what you have, and haven't done in a bit more detail and we will be able to help.

Uhm, long story short My Evo crapped out on me with the endless booting. Now before I get trolled. Yes, I have research this issue for several days now yielding little to no results. I went from only seeing a black screen to the constant reboot after the "drag to unlock screen". The phone has a mind of its own only working when ever it wants to. But after a reboot or a battery pull the cycle begins again until it decides that it wants to run again. So the cards are on the table, I'm up for any suggestions, tips and so what you want to throw at me.
What I've done:
flashing the RUU as a .exe as well as .zip file
OTA Update (gave me the black screen)
Thanks, Don
boot into recovery and wipe all the data then install the rom again?
Sorry, I forgot to mention that I was NOT rooted. But, I tried that through the stock recovery (holding volume down+ power through the recovery screen) ANd nothing. Same results.This phone will not defeat me!!
I don't know if this would help. I found this thread:

You could download the PC36IMG zip and use the bootloader to restore the phone.
If you are not on Sprint, you could do a search for a stock unrooted ROM for your carrier.
Ok if your not a rooted user, which as you say your not, hold your volume button down and power button (after you remove your battery and put it back in), then let go when your screen turns on. You should be at a recovery, find factory reset. All this will do is put your phone back to factory defaults. All your contacts are automatically on your gmail, and will sync to your phone as soon as you sign in with it after your factory reset

Tried this too. I ended up rooting it yesterday using the revolutionary method, hoping that flashing a custom rom could possibly fix the corrupted file or w.e could be causing this, but nothing. This is ridiculous, is it possible that it could be a hardware defect?? If I ever get it booted again, ill post the hardware specs.
Thanks once again,Don.
Update:
currently I managed to get Myn's twopointtwo ROM functioning properly for the time being at least.
Software:
android 2.2
baseband 2.15.00.05.02
kernel 2.6.32.17
hardware 003
I rooted my phone to a stock root on my Jelly Bean Galaxy S3. I then installed ClockworkMod through ROM Manager, then CM10. It installed OK, now stuck in a boot loop. No big deal, I'll reinstall to my Kies backup. Doesn't work, I can't seem to get into recovery mode. I hold the buttons, it vibrates, and the screen stays black until I let go at which point it boots to that horrendous boot loop. I really need my phone back!
P.S. Please explain as if I am five years old.

Download mode couldnt get any simpler bud
Edit: just incase if you dont know its down home power button to get to it, find your galaxy s3 firnware (ATT/Bell etc...) and your back stock nonrooted. And then you can root againif you wanna
While in a boot loop, hold the buttons. The phone will power off and stay off as long as you hold them down. Let go of all three, then immediately press all 3 again. When you see a little blue line of letters on the top left of your screen, let go again. Should boot into recovery from there.

Did you read the question bro.. he said he CAN'T go to recovery mode only other option is download mode
No, the option is to boot into recovery and perform a factory reset (which may fix his problem). IF that doesn't fix his problem, he can flash a different ROM from recovery, provided he had custom recovery.
The only difference in getting to download as opposed to recovery is which volume button you use. Chances are if he can't 3 button into recovery, download will be the same result.
Thanks
Got it fixed guys, thanks for the help, now I'm back at Stock Rooted 4.1.1, but am still on the quest for a deodexed rom!
Excellent suggestion - it worked for me

I got a Galaxy S III on 23rd Dec 2012 with Ice Cream Sandwich installed. A couple of weeks later it updated itself with a little help from me to the latest Jelly Bean. Since then it's gone into the reboot loop 3 times without any provocation; i.e. I get it out of my pocket and it's in a reboot loop but it had been fine the last time I used it. I tried pressing various buttons alone and in combination and eventually it came out of the loop. At no time did I have to remove the battery. The only mod I've made to it is the addition of a 64GByte SD card, apart from the upgrade to Jelly Bean. I've seen many posts on this problem but yours is the first that confirms my solution for getting out of it. It's obviously a common problem so somewhere there must be a description of what causes it and, hopefully, how to prevent it as it's a real nuisance when you want to use your phone and it's in a reboot loop. If and when I find a definitive article I'll post here again.
Thanks MrHaley.
I successfully rooted my phone yesterday. While trying to get tethering to work, I somehow corrupted the operating system. In one of my more spastic moves, while trying to get things working again, I managed to erase the entire operating system. The only thing I have on the phone now is unlocked bootloader and TWRP recovery.
I tried reinstalling the latest Sprint RUU through both adb and SD card. No luck, I get error messages each time. And whenever I try to boot normally, the phone freezes with a white screen and HTC logo until the battery runs out. Any ideas what can be done, or is the phone dead? Thanks for any help.

Download a ROM on your PC (ViperOne is my favorite) and put it onto your external sd card. With your phone off, hold down the power button + vol down. This will take you to fastboot. From there, using the volume keys, navigate to hboot and press the volume button. then navigate to recovery, and press volume. You should be able to flash the ROM from there.
EDIT: If the phone is on, hold power+ vol up to force the phone to reboot (takes 20 seconds or so), then AS SOON AS THE SCREEN GOES BLACK, slide you finger from vol up to vol down. Then follow the steps from there.
Thanks very much. I'm downloading the Venom ROM right now. Just a couple of questions though. Do I have to update the firmware before loading the Venom ROM? If so, can you explain how? Second, from your instructions, I can't tell if I'm installing the ROM directly from bootloader or through TWRP? Thanks again.

Firstly, you should use the reply function on a post if you want a response. That way the person you are responding to will get a notification. I just kinda stumbled back onto this thread.
What was your firmware before? Chances are you'll need new firmware if you are asking. If you go to hboot/fastboot, it will tell you under OS. If it is blank, it will be because your recovery is outdated and we can tell by the hboot number. 3.16=4.4.2 ~3.18=4.4.3 ~ 3.19=4.4.4. The OS number would be more useful though.
Thank you so much. It was a piece of cake, and the Venom ROM is so much nicer than stock. I can't believe I spent hours trying to unsuccessfully flash the stock ROM when I could have upgraded to Venom so easily. And also thank you for your recommendation of the Venom ROM. It keeps what I like about Sense but is a much nicer experience.
Hi I have cyanogenmod 12 installed on my sprint galaxy s3 phone. I used this unofficial rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3-sprint/development/rom-unofficial-cm12-lollipop-t2953040
Now I want to uninstall it and revert back to stock Android 4.4.2 that came with the phone. I have no idea on how to get started on that. Can someone help me get started step-by-step on doing this?

You probably have a custom recovery if you are running cm 12 and on a recent bootloader.
When you hit settings... About phone... What does it say for baseband/firmware?
Also, turn off your phone. When you turn it back on hold power + home button + volume up until you see the Samsung logo. If a weird menu pops up, this will make going to stock easier. Just hit reboot or reboot system, then we can help you get the right stock setup.

I am not sure what custom recovery I have, since I did not use any backup software and I had cyanogenmod 11 before then. I hope that's still ok.
My baseband version is: L710VPUDNJ2
When I reboot my phone by holding power + home button + volume up, it does have a weird menu with black background, red text at the top "Android system recovery <3e> -- KOT49H.L710VPUDND8".

Follow the directions here:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/41671/L710VPUDNJ2_L710SPRDNJ2_SPR/
You have to sign up, but it takes a few seconds and it is a pretty good site. Probably the easiest way for you. You will need a windows computer though.

Redownload the tar file. It should be around a gig in size. Sounds like a bad download
if you're having trouble through sam mobiles site for downloading, please feel free to check into mines for a faster mirror.

I just figured out the problem. It was 'soft bricked'. It had to be rebooted into recovery mode and I had to reformat and wipe cache. Now it works like when I first got the phone, unfortunately it's getting old and slow. That Galaxy S6 looks pretty awesome!
Step 5 of the upgrade instuctions say that if you want install add-ons, you need to click Advanced then Reboot to Recovery. However, my phone, as mentioned in the instructions can happen, goes to a black screen. So how can I install Gapps after side-loading LOS?
Has anyone successfully carried out the upgrade?
Try this:
Connect your phone to a charger or pc....(make sure its charging)....then press and hold (vol up + power button)...until android one logo shows up, as soon as the logo shows up just leave the power button but still holding the volume up button until it enters lineage os recovery menu. Then flash your gapps...and then factory reset,....then reboot system. It works.....good luck

My problem was not that I didn't know what to do. The problem is that on my phone, I just get a blank screen when I boot to recovery. The recovery still works, but it is hard to use if you can't see what you are doing. However, as I have another phone where I can see the recovery, I was able to use that as a guide.
Ok

The TWRP workaround did not work for me, but I awas able to install it blindly.
Is there any way to run the LOS Recovery on a windows PC in VirtualBox or something? Then I could make some screenshots of the Recovery Menu so everyone with the same issue can at least do it blindly in theory...
