[Longish story]
So, I rooted yesterday, all was good. Used the CF-auto root. After that I got titanium backup and clockwork mod. After that I download the app ROM Toolbox, scrolled over to fonts, clicked a font, pushed continue, device rebooted and it wouldn't fully turn on. It would load up all the way to the Samsung logo and flash blue with that long and have the blue led on. Got scared since it was my first time rooting and stuff and went on forums. Got to clockworkmod and had no progression. Someone told me that I need to download a rom onto my external sd card and plug it back in my device then click that. File didn't work and it said my sdcard can't mount. So I read that I can flash the stock rom from Odin onto my device through the download mode on android. I tried and still am as we speak but it just stays on "system.img". I don't know what to do, and is scared that I can no longer use my device. Is there anything I can do or am I ruined?
Thank you all!
You must do a factory reset in your stock recovery after you flash your stock fw threw odin :beer:

Well, I'm trying to flash a stock rom on my phone via Odin but like I said, it just stays on the "system.img" any ideas?
Download odin and flash stock att rom start over. Your phone would probably have booted rom toolbox reboots can take a long time.
I had issues with rom tool box too. Ill never use it again

But is it normal if it stays on system.img with a sign of progressing? I mean I have been patient for this to happen but it was going on for more than a hour without moving! Should I do it again and just wait all night? Also, now when I boot up my device, it tells me to do something with Kies, like a recovery. But my device won't even get recognized by my computer so the Kies thing Won't work. Also, I don't believe I can access CWM anymore. Does this matter?

ok so, i just rooted my phone and that went fine. did it with the stock rom, but after I did that I installed clockwork mod. well, i tried to do a back up of the current rom and when it rebooted it crashed. now it comes up to the android system recovery screen but it won't let me select anything...... can anyone help?!?!?
i am freaking out here... did i brick my phone?!?!?! anyone????
I don't know why you're having a problem or what caused it but you certainly didn't brick your phone. You can always flash a new ROM in clockwork or use odin to flash the stock .tar.
edit: missed the part about not being able to select anything in recovery. All is not lost, just flash the stock EG31 .tar with odin and you'll be fine. You're gonna have to reroot and set everything back up again (I've done it twice today) but at least you will still have a phone. Try just flashing the kernel first, maybe you can get it to boot without losing anything.
everytime i reboot the phone it just comes back to this android system recovery screen. it's blule, at the bottom is says manual mode. and something sucsessfull but, it won't let me selelect any of the options and it keeps booting to this screen... where can i download odin? i keep seeing stuff about that, i guess i need to flash to a rom or something....
edit: cool, yeah.. can you show me where to download what your talking about??
thank you!!

Ok so I went to go flash a new ROM called Liquid Smooth, doesnt work at all. Which is fine, figured I would just go back to Codename or FreeGS3 since i made a nandroid of both. Attempt to boot into recovery n the phone will not, so that sucks. So I then try to go through Odin and put the stock ROM tar file on my phone n just re-root the phone again from scratch. Put the stock ROM on the phone, Odin says it passed, it reboots and is stuck on the Samsung loading screen. Tried multiple times through Odin and the samething continues to happen. My phone is now a paperweight and useless. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

How long did you wait for the phone to boot at Samsung screen ? if not long just wait some more !!
I almost dont want to assist based on the title of your thread. your phone is not a paperweight. You need to wipe data so the rom will boot. Flash the custom recovery below in odin and boot into it after the odin flash. As soon as that screen goes dark immediatly press volume up+home+pwr. youll get in

Yea do this but before flashing the recovery in ODIN un-check the Auto Reboot option so you can pull the battery after the recovery passes. If the last thing you flashed was the stock Odin file you now should have stock recovery

I let it sit there for 35 minutes waiting for it to boot, still no go.
My custom binary count is at 10, idk if that has anything to do with it not being able to boot into recovery.

Yea Ive been using his videos all night n all day. Nothing.
[[SOLVED]]
Alright, so I checked through a few pages on the forums, and I didn't see anyone posting about this issue I am having..
I purchased my S3 a few days ago, and instantly rooted it. I used the Odin3 v3.07 method with "root66_SPR_L10VPBLJ7.7Z" ROM. That went well and fine. Then I tried flashing CWM recovery, and when I booted into recovery, it was still the stock. So I downloaded ROM Mangager and flashed the touch CWM recovery, after it finished, it asked if I wanted to boot into recovery. I agreed. Then the phone restarted, and upon starting, it showed the SAMSUNG logo, and "recovery booting" in the top left corner for about half a second. Then it just stayed on a black screen. I could do nothing after that. I then took the battery out for about 5 minutes, threw it back in, and the phone started. So I tried to manually boot into recovery, and the same issue. Took the battery out again, phone started properly, so I then tried to get into download mode. That worked fine, so I downloaded the CWM recovery on my laptop, and connected the phone through Odin, and flashed CWM onto my phone. Odin said it passed, but I still have the same issue when I try to boot into recovery.
Any ideas on something I'm doing wrong?
It is likely that your ROM is detecting the custom recovery and replacing it with the stock one. This was a change made to the stock ROM several versions ago. Before that you did not have to do anything extra to load the custom recovery.
The versions LG8 and later have code to detect an unsigned recovery and replace it with stock. You need to:
- Download TeamEpic-Root-from-Recovery-v5.zip and place it on your ineternal sdcard.
- Get into Download Mode and connect ODIN.
- Flash the custom recovery with ODIN but do not check the "Auto Reboot" box in Odin.
- Disconnect the phone from the PC once the recovery is flashed.
- Pull the battery to power down
- Boot directly into recovery (Hold Volume Up, Home and Power buttons until recovery appears. Do not allow the ROM to start).
- Once in the recovery you need to flash the Team Epic Root from Recovery.
- Reboot
All Done

Correct; and the reason for this is because the updated stock firmware as a script basically that re-flashes stock recovery upon boot if stock isn't detected. The team epic zip removes that. After doing that; I'd recommend flashing the twrp recovery.

So whats your issue? Why do you need the stock rom...? The drivers are the same and the stock kernel is for stock only, not aosp

Okay I did some research, and I found online that the Samsung phones need .tar.md5 not .img files for recovery.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1484304
I did not use these directions since I don't run linux, and I wasn't going to download VMWare. Anyways, the way I fixed it, I purchased and downloaded Mobile Odin from the Play store. I put the recovery.img on my external SDcard, then opened the app. Under "recovery" I selected recovery.img and then scrolled down to "Flash" It flashed the recovery.img with no problems, then booted me into recovery. I then flashed mrRobinson_Ashaman.v2.20_signed.zip so I could uninstall some bloatware.
That last part was mostly for me, until I find a ROM I like.

You need to post more info if possible but it sounds like you are trying to downgrade from MA7 to an earlier firmware like LK8. The update included a security patch so it won't let you go back to insecure. Try pulling the sboot out of whatever you are trying to flash or stick with MA7

It's not brick cuz odin can still see your phone. If you dont have TWRP on it, go to www.twrp.com and download the tar file for sprint note 2. Then use Odin to flash it. Once you are done that, go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2086769 to get either the old LJC or MA7 and put it in your phone either internal or external SD. Do the wipe cache/factory reset first. Then flash it. It will go back to stock rom.

Hello even though its old I figured I would post here first instead of starting a new thread, my friend has a Note 2 for Sprint never rooted or custom ROM flashed and he said it was sitting on the charger and when he woke up in the morning it was off and after attempting to power the device on it stays stuck on the Samsung logo. I cant get Kies to recognize the device at all not matter what pc is use however it shows up in Odin but it fails everything from stock files ( older and current ) , different versions of Odin, recoveries and I even tried a " unbrick .tar file " . Any help at all would be appreciated I will include pics

Can you odin a custom recovery and boot into it?
1. Put phone in download mode
2. In odin program uncheck reboot and flash recovery
3. After flash disconnect phone and pull battery
4. Quickly insert and remove battery multiple times (if you just reinsert battery it will automatically boot)
5. Boot phone into recovery backup any important data that is on your internal sdcard
6. Do factory reset then flash billards stock mc2 with counter reset (do not wipe cache after flashing this)
7. Flash superuser zip found in billards Op
8. Reboot phone and freakout when see the screen do odd things and reboot (this is normal)
Now it will bootup on stock rooted mc2.

I have Samsung At&T Galaxy S3. I bought it used and it worked fine for days until I dropped it and cracked the screen, However it still worked fine until it died. I plugged it in and went to turn it on and it took me to the Team Win recovery. When I try to go to recovery and then reboot it tells me there is no os installed and asks me if I want to install Super SU. If I go to install it takes me to the Odin downloading mode but that is it. Phone is Bricked and stays at the S III screen. HELP is there any hope for me!? I also tried to follow a forum that instructed the rooting of the phone using ODIN. I tried to use the link but couldn't and then I tried Chain fires way but still after 4 hours NO luck, could be me but I am as "Noob" as they come with this apparently. Can someone please help me!?
What ROM was the phone running before it was dropped? You could copy a custom ROM to a micro SD card and try flashing it from recovery.
Don't worry, your phone is not bricked.
Well, if it happened out of the blue like that, there is a possibility of a hardware problem.
Do as audit13 said and flash a ROM via recovery, preferably the same as what was on it before.

I was running I believe the Jelly Bean 4.3...SO I bought the phone from a person. They did not mention it having TWRP or anything else. It I think had something called Super SU too...not sure what that is. I have tried to flash in ODIN. nothing. I have also tried to flash a rom using an SD card it was the kit kat 4.4.4 but it says failed each time. I don't know what to do...

So I bought the phone from another person who failed to mention anything not stock about the phone! It came with I believe the jellybean 4.3 and something like super su. What is super SU? I have tried to flash the kit kat 4.4.4 to the phone with an sd card but it always says failed...I don't understand! I have been going out of my mind and reading and trying a but nothing is working!
SuperSU is part of your root access. Its an app that helps to manage root access from your other apps.
When the flash fails does it give you an error message? Try flashing again, but after it fails do not reboot. Go back to the Advanced menu and choose copy log to SD. Then attach the recovery.log here.

Yes I get an error message. Ok so I suppose I am still trying to grasp at the entire concept of all of this! So let me start here: I bought the phone as I said and it seemed fine. It didn't however have all the normal Google apps etc. and I wasn't sure why. 2 days later after purchase I dropped the phone. Screen cracked but for the rest of the day it worked fine. It died, I plugged it in at home and when I tried to turn it on it went straight to TWRP. I messed with the phone in recovery NOT understanding what I was doing and I think I may have wiped/deleted the Super SU off my phone, I don't know if it is rooted or anything anymore if it was rooted in the first place. I believe it was running Jellybean before this mess and since then I have tried to do multiple things to it including installing a ROM on an SD with gapps and flashing in TWRP but always get an error message. I did just try installing UPDATE-SuperSu back onto the flashing using an Sd and that installed but still couldn't flash a rom. I still cannot get past the Samsung S III screen and still the phone says no OS. So I suppose is there a way to start from scratch so...someone that can walk me through this. I am dying and DON'T want to spend the money the Phone stores want to fix my phone! I don't have a carrier like Sprint etc. I was using the phone with a sim card for straight talk. Please if I can try this I will! Thanks again for all your help...
Try flashing the MJB firmware via Odin on your computer. That should restore your device to fully working stock, provided there isnt a hardware problem.
Factory reset in recovery, then reboot download mode. Plug into your computer and run Odin v3.09. Click the AP button and select the firmware you downloaded. Should be a .tar.md5 file. Then click start.
You can get odin from my sig if needed.

So, I tried to do what you said but when I extract the files there is no tar md5 file, if I don't extract I can't see any of the MJB firmware. I don't know what I doing wrong...
Highlight/select all of the files at once. Then right click and extract. It should combine them all into the one.
If you're still having trouble with it, I'll try to do it for you. Been meaning to do this anyway to make things a little easier for folks. But it'll probably be at least Sunday night or Monday before I can do anything. (Funeral/family stuff has me tied up all weekend).

So I have tried SO many things now I can't even remember. I have tried flashing roms via SD card, I have tried to re-root the phone by flashing Super SU from an SD card no luck...I have tried to factory reset using the instructions you posted but upon extracting there is no tar md5 file. lots of others but not that one. My download screen says:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SGH I747
CUSTOM BINARY DOWLOAD: YES (2 COUNTS)
CURRENT BINARY: CUSTOM
SYSTEM STATUS: CUSTOM
QUAULCOM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE
WARRANTY BIT: 1
BOOTLOADER RP SWREV: 2
When I try to reboot my phone in TWRP it says, "NO OS" installed are you sure you wish to continue.
I will slide the deal towards yes/reboot and then it will say, "Your phone is not rooted do you wish to install Super SU" I will slide to install and it will go to download mode and look like the above. That's it. No successful flashing via SD or Odin...I am pooped. By the way I appreciate your time, and I am so sorry for your loss.
Still No Luck

I have tried so much I am just confused...If you can help me at all, step by step perhaps then I could get you the answers you need to help me. Really thank you for the time you have already given me.
I suggest using CWM to flash anything. I had issues with TWRP and Philz Touch worked perfectly. I have recommended it to other that had no OS on their phone and they were able to get their phone up and running on a custom ROM.

I apologize for not responding before. Been hard to keep up with everything lately.
Try as audit13 suggested and flash cwm or philz recovery with Odin. Then reboot recovery and flash a rom. Hopefully one of those will work where twrp failed.
