Rooting with Toolkit method is not working - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

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..

[Q] Cannot get into recovery *android with yield sign*

Ok so i got my nexus today and it is fantastic. I unlocked the bootloader and rooted the phone no problem. installed clockwork with rom manager though, I turned the phone off and then while pressing vol up and down went into recovery again. Rebooted into clockwork and bam we're good. I rebooted to move some files over and when i tried to get into recovery again i get the android dude with the yield sign over and over again. Im not sure why this is happening, any suggestions?
I was having the same problem at first. Problem was fixed by "flash clockwork mod" and then reboot into recovery. After that I had no problems. :beer:

I also initially tried to install CWM thru rom mananger but after a reboot or 2, booting into recovery always led do a android with red triangle and I'd have to re-install (this was happened many times)
To finally fix it I downloaded the CWM .img and flashed it using fastboot on my laptop while the phone was in the bootloader. Recovery image hasn't died since.
Means image isn't applied.
Get Rom manager from the market and it will flash image.
Done.
Android with yield sign is stock Android recovery.

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!

Phone bricked..Help

I think I bricked my Rogers S3.
I had JB running on it. Today I decided to root it again ( I rooted it couple of months ago and then went back to stock). I did the same procedure as last time i.e. using toolkit, however, when I had to choose which file to choose in odin to be flashed in insecure boot, I chose "boot-insecure-spr-l710palen.tar" instead of choosing "boot-insecure-canada-rogers-i747mvale8.tar".
Now after odin finished doing ALLINONE "insecured boot, CWM, root phone + install busybox", my phone restarted and I could hear the samsung logo voice but the screen was totally blank.
I went back to odin and chose ALLINONE "insecured boot, CWM, root phone + install busybox" and this time chose the right file but still the same thing.
So now I decided to unroot the phone by flashing the custom rogers version back on, so I flashed the custom rom using ODIN but still my phone keeps on getting stuck at the samsung logo at the start up. It doesn't go any further.
Is it bricked? How can I solve this problem? Thanks
Note: If i press volume up+home+power, I can get into the mode where it gives me the options to reboot, wipe etc.
Should I try to root it again and try to get into recovery mode to see what can be done to fix it?
Bumped!!!!!!!!!
It's a soft brick, so you're okay.
Just download Odin and flash a restore image on your phone with it.
Search the "development" subforum for "Odin" and you'll find everything you need.

[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
