Ok so basically, I rooted my phone yesterday. Installed cyanogen mod and cwm successfully. Didnt like cm....so I just flashed MIUI ontop of it (which was a stupid mistake and didnt think about it since it was early in the morning). So then I tried loading the stock rom ontop of that....no luck...then i tried loading another stock rom on top of it...no luck....and then another....no luck. Now I can only enter download mode with no way of entering recovery mode (which I was able to get into before but not after I installed like 3 stock roms)...Now when im in download mode, The custom binary download count is at 5....which im assuming is bad lol. Not only that, but i tried the "nand erase all" option on odin and still no luck....still stuck on the samsung glowing boot logo. Im ****ting my pants cause I just got this phone a week ago and cracked the screen the day before (first time every cracking a screen )...Goddamn android rooting is so much more complicated than jailbreaking the simplistic iphone (even though i fell in love with the s3 in just a week)
Soooo please Im shouting out to this community that has made so many guides (which i thank you for), but none were able to fix my problem .... Any suggestions? I can't do a factory reset either cause i cant even enter recovery mode...Im 100% sure that I used the correct ROMs and files for my att samsung i747
EDIT: I tried odining the stock ROM again (for like the 5th time) and now when I boot my phone, it gets past the 2nd screen (the samsung galaxy s3 screen) but blacks up right before the 3rd screen (the white att logo screen) and only shows a glowing green to blue LED at the top left. I am still able to enter download mode, but still not recovery mode even after odining cwm. Im up to a custom binary count of 8.
Odin back to stock.

Wipe data/cache now that you can get into recovery. All will be fine.

Probably have to factory reset in recover after the Odin to stock to get it to boot up. It will erase the internal SD though.

No, it won't. Factory Reset does not touch the internal sd. It merely deletes app data. But what they said, Factory Rest, Wipe Cache/Dalvik. You'll be good to go. This is causing your hang up.
Use TWRP to wipe system and data-wipe (bottom left corner, forget exact name). Those two items usually help me when nothing else is working.
You can wipe your internal sd card by using twrp and going to wipe.

My SGH-T999 (T-Mobile Galaxy S3) is soft bricked.
When i try to boot the phone, it vibrates and nothing else.
When I try to go into recovery mode, blue text appears in the upper left corner and nothing else. I use TWRP.
The phone can go into download mode, but the phone shuts down shortly after it boots into download mode.
This happened while trying to flash CM10.1.0 and GAPPS 20130313.
The battery is at full percentage. (checked on friend's phone)
Is there anything i can do?
You can boot into recovery but can't do anything after you do?

Since you say you can go into TWRP recovery, try this before doing anything else.
Go into TWRP recovery and do a "factory reset", "Wipe Cache" and "Wipe Dalvik Cache in TWRP recovery.
(do not wipe system yet)
Then reboot the phone see if it boots up all the way...
If it does then you should odin flash the new 4.1.2 Jellybean stock rooted rom before doing anything else.
If you cannot use the Windows Odin, install Mobile Odin on the phone so you can flash the Odin flash stock
rooted official Jellybean 4.1.2 rom. Let me know if you want more help....
My advice is and has been for a long time is not to flash any CM10/AOSP/AOKP or PORTED roms.
Those roms for the most part were always intended for developers who really know what they are doing.
They are also really excellent for any one who likes to do a lot of experimentation with their phones.
The above is just my personal opinion after my own experiences with the ASOP/AOKP/CM10 and PORTED roms.
Good luck!
My opinion is to read and flash things that don't have people complaining constantly, so look back and see which dates people were happy about the nightly or go to milestones instead or even RCs. To a point junky is right but they aren't for devs nor are ports since there are about 4 very stable ports in the dev section.

Sorry. I was working in Samsung Galaxy S3 Toolkit V7.00 and was up to rooting options and selected #1 Flash Insecure Boot Image and Root Phone. It ran its course and then rebooted but it has not been able to get past an occasional battery picture with a circle in the middle.

Have you tried leaving it in charge for a while, like 30 minutes without being touched. It sounds like your phone is just out of charge.

I was running the new version of Hyperdrive until the mms stop sending so I decided to go to Goodness. Originally I could not get any rom to flash from the internal or external memory, so I pulled the sd card wiped everything and reinstalled my backup of carbon from trwp. After I confirmed the phone was working properly , i downloaded and placed goodness onto my internal memory (ext sd is not in right now) , and flashed no problem. Now the phone boots the Samsung logo, the goes into the Goodness boot animation, then goes black. I left it sitting for 30 min and nothing. Did a battery pull and nothing. So finally, I tried to get back into recovery mode and i cant. I hold volume up+home+power and the phone displays the blue script that shows recovery, then the samsung logo, then boots right back into the Goodness boot animation. How can I get back into twrp? Ive searched high and low for answers but cannot seem to find the answers to my problem. Thanks
Can you get into download mode? If so, reflash your recovery and try again.
Did you wipe in between flashes?

between hyperdrive and carbon I did a full wipe. Between carbon and Goodness I didnt. i figured I would be ok since I installed nothing but the os and gapps. I had done it other times with no problems and figured this time would be the same.

When you get to goodness boot animation does it not complete and the phone start the process over again?

Well I was able to unroot and re root my phone again. To answer the question though the boot animation would go on for 20-30 seconds and then the screen would stay black. No noise, no touch control, no indication that the power was on. When placed on the charger, the led wouldn't even display.
So is it all working now?

Make sure you redownload it, just in case it was a bad download.. you never know. I know it is time consuming but worth it.

Wrong forum, wrong thread. Go start a new thread in the appropriate forum.
Today I tried to flash Jedi Mind Trick onto my S2. I followed all of the instructions but I am stuck looping at boot. I see the samsung screen, then the deviant developers screen, but then it loops again. A couple of times I have seen it go to a screen where there is a spinning circle. I am trying to get into Clockwork Recovery to access my nandroid backup, but it is not letting me get there. Anyone know what I can do to fix this?

Put the device in download mode, use Odin to flash twrp 2.6.1.0 and reflash, if ur still looping check ur power button, might have sticky power button issue in which case there are bandaids to help or talk to Samsung...

My T-Mobile SG3 T999 has a blank/black screen after the "Samsung Galaxy S3" boot logo pops up. This happened after messing around on Pimp my Rom and I rebooted to implement some tweaks. Consequently the result mentioned now occurs. I can however get it into download mode and factory reset mode, so I know it's not completely gone. I tried to simply reflash my root software or whatever, that I had successfully done. It went through Odin and said pass, but still I have the black screen. Is there any advice for this situation? I am hoping to have more options or perhaps a guide for unbricking. I am downloading the stock rom for my phone, and will try to flash that, but I'm not really sure how that would fix it.
Any help would be very much appreciated!!
Can you boot into recovery? (Take battery put of phone, put battery back in, hold volume up, home button and power button until you feel the phone vibrate and you see blue text)
Does cwm show up (grey background) or stock recovery (black background)?

Boot stock recovery AFTER Odin flash and factory reset. Then try again.

So long story short I think I messed up recovery mode for my phone by downloading the cwm without using FreeGee. Ive done a stock reflash many times and yet it always gives me the red triangle "!" when im rooted and use the touch recovery, or when im unrooted and do the button combination it gives me a blank screen with a glowing led after the lg logo pops up a few times.
This is the last stock rom I used (v10p): http://lg.storagecow.eu/?page_id=10
and this is the root im using: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QCBLOhWavT0
Also I'd like to note that I cant get the stock fastboot to work, it just does the black screen plus led light
I got it! after I change my root to Kingo and then made sure I did the steps right for Freegee I got it, . Just wanted to update if someone gets this issue
Out of curiosity, how did you get out of ftm mode?
