I have Team Venom's JellyBombed Ver 13. I did a battery pull to swap batteries and ever since I cannot boot, not even into recovery. When I boot I get the Samsung, then the Samsung Galaxy 3 logos but then screen goes black except for the soft menu and back keys on the bottom which are illuminated.
Please help.
I don't think that you bricked your phone, from what I understand and I could be wrong but long as it boots to your splash screen you aren't bricked. I would check the battery contact pins if your swapping battery's your increasing the potential of damage occurring . or even the batteries themselves. I don't think its a software issue. You can try Odin if you have it. Odin should be able to read the com port without the battery in the phone..if it can read it you can go foward and install a deoxdex rooted stk. Odin flashable tar. And start over ...good luck. , Hope this helps

Damn I got into cwm recovery and tried to do a wipe data/factory reset.... it immediately displayed a green android with the blue thing spinning - it seems to be hanging - afraid to pull battery and try again....
Have you tried other cwm functions.? Or maybe a nandroid restore?

I can't believe I did not think to try that - nandroid restore - trying a restore...... damn memory lapse
My most recent pre issue nandroid backup is a little old... a little over a month but I did a Titanium backup more recent so hopefully if I get things going I can restore from there....
Thanks.
Just go to download mode (volume down home and power buttons at the same time) and use odin go to stock

I'm going to have to agree with this your best option is to plug into your computer and flash to stock from Odin. Usually the phone is not completely bricked unless it's totally unresponsive. I recently bricked one my self ... The only time you need to worry if you can't get to a splash screen, can't boot into recovery or download mode mine was totally done when I plug it in it wouldn't even charge for sure charge indicator and when you push the power button there was no vibration to indicate it was starting.

Maybe the NFC of the baterry is bad and if the phone is trying to "read" it you may be stuck on boot. Replace the battery again.

Thanks for everyone that offered suggestions.
Fortunately, I was able to boot into recovery, restore an old android nandroid, wipe, flash Jellybomb, and then use titanium to selectively restore from the post corruption Nandroid I was able to make. I lost some data but Im back and running.
I think I have an aftermarket battery that is bad too.

I'm flashing a new ROM on my wife's Dinc, and I go into recovery mode through ROM manager and when I try to do anything, I only get the ROM manager logo in the center of the screen. I can back up to the main menu, but in order to reboot the phone I have to pull the battery. I would just flash the ROM through ROM manager, but I need to flash the ROM, and the gapps also. I don't think it will let me do both, plus I like to wipe everything myself before I flash. Any idea why this is happening?
Thanks in advance.

[Make sure you have the Samsung drivers installed]
Download the "FF18 full restore One-Click self-extractor"
extract and launch it.
Now
Power on the phone and..
hold Power button + Volume down
Then volume up to enter download mode
Connect the phone via USB to the computer and it should show up on a COM port.
Then click start and hopefully you'll be back to stock rooted.

Not sure what you're trying. I just posted how to completely set you phone to stock FF18. It WILL wipe your data but your phone shoud be good to go with all services.
If you want to use sfhub's EL29 one click the method is the same. But why not get the latest released build.
You may have to to System Settings>System Updates then Update the PRL wait and then update the Profile wait.
It may suck having to re-enter some data but I would think it would suck more to have a phone that didn't work.

It won't reset your prl, aaa, ha keys which are contained in NVRAM.
If you are running CWM, I would boot into recovery, then start adb shell, then mount /system (if necessary) and undo your boot animation change. It is very likely everything is intact, just the boot is prevented from completing due to that change you made.

Ics uses like 10% more on average is the number I've seen thrown around, I get like 18 hours with 3 or 4 hours of screen time on average with 20% left.... you see tons of posts from people complaining about ics battery, ignore these... most of these folks can't be bothered to set up syncs right, kill background tasks that are unnecessary, read the forums, let roms properly settle, recalibrate, etc...

I'm assuming you mean wipe? Yes but it still would not affect your provisioning/network information... it does not get wiped by that... for example I have heavily edited 4g settings (higher entry RX, etc...) and those have been preserved across god knows how many flashes and wipes... lastly is not just ics you need to do a full wipe for, you can try no data flashes but might experance bugs, the reccomended route for every rom I know of is to do a full data wipe when switching from one from to another

Calm down, you can always download a flashable ROM, place it on your sdcard and flash it through CWM. Everything will be normal.
I'm assuming you can boot into CWM.
You can either try restoring all the stuff you deleted with Titanium or wipe the phone and start over.

Does anyone know why the GOODBYE screen freezes when restarting and poweing off?(im rooted) My last resort is to go back to stock and start alll over. Im just trying to find out if theres another way around to it. I cant restart or powering off with out doing it manauly by holding the power button for a long time.
Alright, im not completely new to rooting but I have encountered a new problem.
I rooted my phone through odin (galaxy s3 T999), had some hiccups with that so I ended up downloading the stock rom tar and reflashed using that, problem solved good to go still rooted. awesome.
So, I attempted to flash the cyanogen rom using clockwork mod. it wouldn't come past the load screen, went into clockwork mod to recover my backup but for some reason it wouldn't let me access the SD card to get it. next thought was to go back to odin and flash the same file I used previously to get back to where I was, for some reason this is not working, I can get to download, use odin to flash it, says success and all that, then upoon rebooting it stays at the Samsung loading screen.
So from there I went and downloaded the GS3 toolkit and tried all of their recovery files, all having the same issue. about 18 flashes later I tried reformatting from the phone itself, same issue with the samsung logo being stuck. And now, I am currently baffled, anyone wanna help me out? I have a feeling it has something to do with the .pit option on odin, but I am not that advanced and its just a hunch. so...thanks in advance guys!
So I understand not to touch pit, roger, reading other posts makes that clear, but still cant find a fix, the top right of my download says
ODIN MODE
Product Name SGH-T999
Custom Binary yes: 19 counts
Current Binary Samsung Offical
System Status Custom
Qualcomm secureboot Enable
Okay, what is the current state of the device?
Whst do you see when you boot into recovery ( take battery out of phone the put it back in and do the following: hold volume up, home button and power button, let go of all buttons when you feel the phone vibrate and blue text flashes in the upper left corner of the screen)?

I just tried to send a rom over that had CWM 6.0.2.3 and it installed that, but still stuck on logo. going into recovery I am in CWM 6.0.2.3
have the standard options wipe/factory, install from zip etc.
You flashed a rom that had cwm 6.0.2.3 or did you flash a rom while on 6.0.2.3?

I'd say about 98% of the time, when it hangs like that you just need to factory reset.

tried to factory reset and it does the same logo stuck business. That was the last thing i tried after attempting to back up and reflash numerous times. tried flashing again recently, it will install CWM if it is attached to the rom but still gets stuck on the logo. tried re installing odin as well, it is working as usual, starts, restarts the phone, sits awhile, success. then i restart the phone and never get past logo.
I would do what Doc said.
If it still doesnt work, download a rom of your choice (in the t-999 section) and do a full wipe before flashing the rom you picked.

When flashing a new rom, you have to do a full wipe or youll run into problems like you are currently having.
If you dont know what a full wipe is, then stop what you are doing and put your phone down. Just about every rom thread here on xda explains what a full wipe is, it will be in the first post of the thread.
Like I said, find a rom you like in the t-999 section and flash it after doing a full wipe.

Looked it up, that is what I do by default, didn't know thats what was considered a full wipe, just tried it with similar results, didn't know about the dalvik cache though. im on a work computer so I cannot currently DL a new rom from the site, I hope thats what the issue is, but I still cannot see why my other ones would suddenly not work.

I'm just not sure what you mean by it installing CWM attached to a Rom? Recoveries shouldn't be included with a Rom.
Odin flash the root66 firmware, then reboot to STOCK recovery and factory reset. This will wipe all user data, including your internal sd card. Then try rebooting again.

I followed sections all sections 1 threw 3. At section 2 the link for the I317UCUBMK6-TZ-PARAM.zip did not work. I used this link instead.
http://www56.zippyshare.com/v/16559598/file.html
At section 3 don't be alarmed when it says it's downloading the update but it doesn't show percentages. It is downloading. In fact for me it automatically downloaded the 4.4.2 update instead of 4.3. It skipped it and went straight to kitkat. It took some time but I have Official KItkat 4.4.2.
