I have been trying to find an answer for the last several hours. But I can't seem to get anything to work.
I have the AT&T GS3 and I was able to flash AOKP but then I wanted to revert back to stock. I tried the toolkit and followed the steps and what might of happened is that AOKP did not get wiped completely when I flashed the stock image. Now after successfully flashing the stock image (I get the PASS! on Odin), my phone is stuck while booting. It goes past the AT&T boot image but gets stuck on "SAMSUNG". I tries flashing through ODIN, another downloaded version of the stock image but it didn't work. What am I doing wrong?
Another problem with being stuck in bootloop is that since I flashed the stock image; I think I no longer have CWM. I can't find a way to get to recovery.
I'm not really sure how to help but if you can get to the boot animations you aren't bricked. I know you're not on verizon but in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1759642 it says when coming from an AOSP rom back to the stock rom you have to flash a stock boot.img before flashing the stock rom. Hope you can get it working again
Did you make a nandroid backup before you flashed the Rom...if you did you can restore from cwm recovery...hold power, volume up, and home...after the screen goes black let go of the power...hope this helps

If you can get into download mode , just flash recovery from odin.
And how long have you waited at samsung logo , it might take few minutes to bootup.
I don't have CWM recovery. It got stuck on the Samsung logo for 20 minutes before I gave up and did a battery pull.
What do I flash through odin to get it working again. Which recovery file?
Ok, I just used the method described in this article and I am still stuck at the SAMSUNG logo.

Tried that. Still same problem. Noticed that the boot-stock-att-sgh-i7.tar is only 10.5 mb. I don't know much about this, but is that tar file enough to get me unbricked?
usually the .tar file should be much larger than that. It's possible that the file you downloaded got corrupted. Try re downloading the file and than flashing it again.

just re flash stock in odin flash Flash this file http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1737848
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.

Hello,
I have a very strange problem with my Note 2.... Yesterday i checked mails on my Note 2 when it suddenly shut down and rebooted.
First i didnt think it was a big issue but when it was on login screen where i have to enter my PIN i just touched the screen and it shut down again. Same thing happened again after that. Now it doesnt even boot up anymore... It just stays on Samsung bootscreen all the time. I can get into Download mode but not into recovery for some reason. I had no custom rom or anything else installed on my device. It was completely Stock.
I already tried flashing the firmware again via Odin but without any success....
Now i don't know what to do anymore and hope one of you guys can help me get back into my phone as i don't want to lose the data on it
Thank you in advance
Best regards

Try doing a data/factory reset and wipe cache in recovery, you`ll loose the data though. But it is the only way imo.

Anyone else with an Idea? What i also think is strange is that it says in Download mode that i downloaded 5 Custom Roms and my Current Binary and System Status are Custom???? I just installed the official firmware from SamMobile again -.-
Noone able to help me? I'm going insane at the moment cause nothing works.... Even when i plug in the usb cable the phone boots to the Galaxy Note 2 screen and nothing else happens.... In download modus it says i'm on a custom rom what i never installed to begin with....i only installed Stock Rom.... Please help what should i do T_T
So now i flashed the Rescue Rom but it did not change anything. Odin completed the flashing without errors though nothing changed. Also tried flashing Stock Firmware again but the status in download mode still shows custom system and binary.... Could it be that Odin is not flashing correctly though it is not giving me any errors?
I'm really desperate at the moment -.-
My galaxy s1 was bricked at one stage. I took the battery out and left it for am hour then I got it to boot into download mode. Are you putting the right rom on it? Like a whole factory rom?

Already tried root with CWM but it won't go into recovery either. I also tried flashing the rescue rom with Pit-File but it does not go further than bootscreen. At the moment i really don't know whats wrong with the phone and i'm a bit desperate right now....

Hi TS,
U need to first let us know which variant of the note 2 u are using.
is u want to solve the bootloop issue,u need to follow these step as posted by someone here:
1. flash CWM using odin,then boot into CWM(power+vol up+that centre button) then wipe dalvik> cache partition > then data reset
2.DL sammy's official firmware for your note variant (7105 or 7100 or whatever)
3.flash sammy's firmware thru odin
4.let phone boot into android
then do whatever you need to do.
I had the same prob at you did,followed that guy's advice and not everything is back to factory and i can send it in for warranty.
I looked around but could not find my problem - I sincerely apologize if it has been asked elsewhere.
Yesterday I attempted to install the newest root66 (4.3) on my telus GS3 using odin. Everything seemed to go ok, but the phone was sitting at the samsung logo for a long while (and vibrating every 5 or 10 seconds as well). The phone went through the normal boot process after the flash, including updating the apps, but then rebooted and just sat there. Thinking something was wrong I attempted to flash the root again and had the same problem. After that I used odin to flash the stock image and waited all night and day for it and it was still on the samsung logo. Tonight I went into the stock recovery and cleared the cache and attempted to flash the root66 again. The phone seemed to go through the normal upgrade boot again (after odin said pass) with the android upgrade spinning chest thing and all that.
I can still access download mode and the stock recovery, so I don't think I am in too bad of shape - part of me thinks it is just a matter of patience, which is fine if it is, but if not, I'd like to keep working on it. Any ideas?
In summery - in case that was confusing
1) flashed root66 4.3, odin indicated success, boot after upgrade was similar to what I have seen before
2) Waited for a couple hours
3) tried root66 again, and waited
4) flashed stock, odin indicated success and waited many hours
5) cleared cache, flashed root66, currently waiting again
6) maintain access to stock recovery and download mode
I'd like to not lose everything on the phone if possible, but if I have to so be it.
Any thoughts?
odin to stock 4.3 then root your phone using CF Autoroot by Chainfire... check always the model of ur phone and the file you are downloading if it is for your phone..
Flashing stock with odin just leaves me stuck at the same Samsung screen. Pulsing Samsung and whatnot

HEY GUYS,
So I am upgrading to the note 4 next week. Sending my sister my note 2 and decided to leave the wonderful Community Rom and restore it back to stock for her to receive updates and not worry about root issues. I rebooted into my philz recovery. Flashed my old MC2_STOCK_with_COUNT_RESET-20130511 zip I had on my SD card which had always worked in the past, and succeeded. Then it rebooted to the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 splash screen and sat there for over 15 minutes never booting up.
Went to PC, opened Odin 1.85, and flashed several L900 Kies firmware and they failed. Finally, found one that flashed successfully, KIES_HOME_L900VPALJ1_L900SPTALJ1_265523_REV04_user_low_ship.tar. After successful flash, it auto reboots from download mode and has been stuck on the splash screen again for over 15 minutes. What do I do now? I have never had it hang up like this for this long, and had issues like these reverting to stock when I have wanted to in the past. Only thing that is different, is I have been on the 4.4.2 rom and these are probably 4.1.2 or 4.3 versions I am flashing.
Please help, I only have a limited time to fix this before I have to ship it off. Thanks guys

It does not boot into recovery. Only a splash screen of Samsung. Recovery does not seem to exist at this point.

Flash a custom recovery with Odin and then flash a stock rooted rom like Rwilco's mostly stock
