hi. i have been putting cyanogenmod nightly's on my galaxy s3 since the beginning. at times i would skip versions and what not.
when i went to put on the nightly cyanogenmod (cm-10.1-20130113-NIGHTLY-d2tmo), i installed the gapps version i had always used that worked previously on the phone. setup wizard errors started popping up, couldnt do anything with the phone once it booted.
i have tried to reboot back into clockworkmod to install cyanogen again, but i cannot even get into that anymore.
i then went into Odin, and then i tried to install CWM through that. it did not allow me to go into cwm on reboot.
i then went into Odin again, and installed the stock rom: SGH-T999_TMB_1_20120523140229 hoping to be able to reboot back into that. still no luck.
currently, my phone is unable to boot still. it gets to the Samsung splash screen, and hangs.
any help to get this back up and running, would be much appreciated ^_^

After Odin try and go back into recovery and choose factory reset. Then it should work.

Pull your battery then reboot to recovery (vol up + home button + power) and wipe data/factory reset. Then reboot.

Hey guys,
I managed to soft brick my device by flashing all sorts of crap today. :laugh:
I am able to get into download mode and Odin recognizes the phone. I have been trying to get my hands on the stock factory ROM in Odin flashable format but haven't had any luck. All the links I have found around here are either broken or are taking so long they are timing out.
If anyone has a working link to the stock ROM that I can flash through Odin I would be very grateful.
Thanks!
Do you have stock recovery? I had same problem before lol.
I will try to seaech my old thread.

No, I was on TWRP Recovery. I flashed from CM10 to the new JB Touchwiz leak after performing a full wipe, which went fine. but then i decided to flash the nav bar mod and a theme just to see how far I could push it. Clearly the limit was hit. :laugh:
Thanks for this. Flashing now.
Strange, after flashing the stock boot image in Odin (which went successfully) I cannot seem to get the phone to boot past the Samsung logo. I also can't boot into recovery (volume up + volume down + power) is not working.
Any ideas?

Boot into recovery (you're doing it wrong) and do a factory reset
Volume up + Home button + power until the screen comes on, then quickly release and you'll be in recovery. Then factory reset, you'll be good to go

I initially flashed the CM10 JB stable ROM successfully. The only problem I had was that I was unable to transfer files via USB to my computer, so I tried using the toolkit to flash the stock rom, but when it was flashing I got an error message that my phone disconnected.
When I turn my phone on I can only get into download mode. If i just press the power button, I receive a black screen.
I have tried using this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1771687 to flash the stock ROM using ODIN but the phone freezes at the Samsung logo screen after the T-Mobile "4G Android" screen.
Any help is truly appreciated

you cant. You need to boot into recovery. Trust me you can get in it, might take a few tries. Try to boot into recovery without the usb cable plugged in.With the phone completely off, and unplugged do the vol-up, home +power combo til it flashes that first screen, it can be a ***** but youll get in
Try turning the device off, remove the battery and leave it there for 60 secs. Make sure the phone is unplug from computer and the hit vol up, home, power until the phone vibrate then release. This should get the phone into the stock recovery.

I really do not think I will be able to get in. I have tried it so many times and even previously could only get into CWM recovery through the app on my phone to boot into recovery. I could never actually get in holding the vol-up+home+power.
Is it possible to flash CWM recovery through ODIN and download mode?
I'm not sure why this stock rom is freezing after I flash it through odin.

i would suggest trying a different cable and if ur gonna use odin again, wipe everything (especially /system!) in recovery before booting into download mode for the odin flash. would also reccomend tryin the legit stock rom in odin (unrooted) if its still freezing on you.
Flash with Odin again, then after it is successfully completed power down phone you have to hold vol up home and power until you see some blue text appear in the top left corner then factory reset from recovery

Yea getting into recovery is tricky if you don't hold the buttons long enough (let go too soon). These guys really gave you great advice.

If you couldn't get into CWM recovery before you screwed the rom then you just aren't doing it right.with phone off, hold up and home, then hold powered button for like 3 sec then let go of only power... but i think you are right the download mode skips the Samsung logo.the recovery puts up Samsung logo before booting recovery. Why can't you Odin a recovery partition ?

That they have, I took the battery out and let it sit for a little and tried it to get into recovery and it worked! I'm was able to boot up regularly after and I truly thank you all for the help because I was having a heart attack.
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

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.
Hi All,
I just purchased a used Stock S III i747m off Ebay.
I played around with it fine for 20-30 minutes and it worked great.
I then went into settings to do a Factory reset, and the phone powered off and didn't start up again. It flashes the Samsung logo and in top left corner has "Reboot recovery" and then powers off again. I tried for 2 hours (Removing battery, etc) to get it to turn on without luck.
I then found a post that you can hold volume down + home + power to get into download mode. I tried this and it worked. It went into download mode, I then clicked volume down to restart the device, and sure enough, It now boots into Android and works fine. I restarted it a couple times to make sure it worked and it did.
Now I attempted to do a factory reset, and the EXACT same problem happens.
With doing some reading, it appears the Google Recovery is not working properly on this device, which suggests to me it was flashed back to stock by the seller but didn't flash quite right.
I want to use custom Roms on it anyways, but I'm a bit nervous of the device now.
Do you think If I flash TWRP or CWM on it using the Mskip Toolkit, and then flash a custom Rom, it will eliminate this problem? I'm thinking yes as the phone works fine when its on. It just seems to be the Stock Google Recovery is not working.
Thanks!!

Have you tried the Google recovery? Volume+ power and home button?
I would suggest using Odin and download mode to put a stock rom on to guarantee that it was flashed correctly, than you can go from there. Decide if you wavy to root and install any roms or keep it stock.

Yes. I should have stated that.
The Google Recovery does not work with Volume Up + Power + Home. It attempts to enter recovery and then phone shuts off.
It has the stock rom on it now, build # and kernel confirmed. Just the Recovery doesn't seem to work.
Odd thing is - I flashed the Stock recovery back on it using Odin a few mins ago. It completed fine and booted into the phone.
I then shut the phone down, and did the volume up + power + home to get into Google Recovery, and sure enough, Phone powers off... Back to the exact same issue. It won't turn on. Just shows "reboot recovery" for a split second in top left and powers off.
I then hold volume down + power + home to enter Download mode, and simply click Volume Down to restart the device, It restarts fine.

Really appreciate the help.
Looks simple enough and I've used Odin on a Note II before.
Only question - I see quite a few people stated they need to wipe data and cache after flashing this to avoid a boot loop. Are they doing this within Google Recovery? Wouldn't wiping data after a this flash erase it? (not cache, but data)
Thanks again, I will give this a go in a couple hours when I'm back home. Hope it resolves my issues.

You will just do a factory reset in stock recovery to get it back to out of the box stock to remove any possible conflicts. This is especially helpful if you are going from a 4.1 ROM back to a 4.0 stock ROM. Wiping data means removing everything in your /data folder. You can find the /data folder using a root file explorer like root explorer or es file explorer and see what you have stored in there or might want to backup on an ext SC card. I.E. pictures, videos. It will make the phone as if no one has ever used it before and a clean slate.

Awesome.
It makes sense. I guess I never truly knew what Factory reset means within Recovery. (I've flashed tons of Roms before on other phones but always did Factory Reset before flashing a rom, so I was thinking it an erasing tool)
Thanks. Will report back in a few hours once I get home and attempt this.
I have a feeling the recovery is messed up. The one selling phone took out non stock recovery, but didn't flash stock recovery.

I'm following the post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426&nocache=1 (for the second or third time) to flash the stock rooted rom onto my att s3. I've done this before a few times and never had an issue.
I'm following them to the letter tonight and everything goes ok (at least ODIN says its ok...) but the phone won't get past the SAMSUNG logo on the restart. ODIN finishes, I see the green Android guy and a progress bar, then I think it reboots again, I get the samsung/at&t logo with sound, then it just stays on the SAMSUNG screen. I gave it time, up to 20 minutes, to finish anything it was doing.
Any help would be appreciated.
(Why am I doing this? I flashed CM 10.1 and somehow LTE didn't work, so I went to CWM and flashed my backup and I couldn't get any phone/data to work. So thinking something got fouled up I decided to just re-flash from the above post to get what I had, which was working.)

I sort of had the same issue except I didn't have any issues with recovery. I flashed 4.1.1 via ODIN and then got stuck at the Samsung logo. ODIN said passed so I did a battery pull and booted into stock recovery (holding volume key up + home button (keeping both held until I was in recovery) and hit the power button) and I had to do a factory reset and wipe cache and then reboot. Could maybe try flashing via ODIN again and giving that a shot if you haven't yet.
