Bricked? Please help!!! - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

Hey guys,
I was running AOKP 4.2.1 and tried to upgrade to AOKP D2TMO_JB_MR_1_build-3 using Goo Manager. I created a backup and tried flashing the new OS with GApps.
When I rebooted, I got the message that the 'Setup Wizard has crashed'. Unfortunately when I hit OK, it keeps looping and I can't get out. When I try again and reboot, I get the Google X and it is stuck there.
I can't seem to boot into TWRP to restore (tried Vol Up + Power and Vol Down + Power and Vol Up and Down + Power). Any thoughts?

It won't boot normally at all? Can you link me the rom directly that you flashed? I would assume a rom from them off their official Goo.im host would be safe, but errors can be made. If your computer recognizes your phone it can be saved.
Here is what I found http://goo.im/devs/aokp/d2tmo I wouldn't hesitate one bit to flash this, neither did 150 people, I'm curious as to what happened to your phone.

You also need to hold the center home button to enter recovery.

Let us know what happens and report the file size of the rom you downloaded... If you know how to check the MD5

I got restored fine. Looks like the files have been deleted by Goo since the install worked as far as it was concerned. I think I will hold off on upgrading for a while.
BTW .. did AOKP stop development? Seems as if this new build was authored by someone else

Kasper quit devving for now as life got in the way... Jamison is starting to dabble and there is Bajee with rootbox which has Aokp inside with other options, I suggest his ROM for future nightlys and development

Could there be an issue if the phone, according to the build prop, is a Nexus? I've always wondered what would happen if I updated a ROM through GooManager while I'm cruising as a Nexus.

If going through goo it'll try and flash a recovery for the nexus, tell you nexus Roms are compatible for you, I think that's what happens. Why not just change it back to sgh T-999? And d2tmo within the build.prop.

That's what I was wondering. So, you might as well just reboot into recovery in the first place.

that and download from the site where you know you are getting d2tmo stuff.

[Q] Help Please INC stuck in bootloop

Last night I updated to latest CM7 nightly (I believe 146 or 147 but not sure), then attempted to flash Rover Lockscreen via File manager. It appeared to flash properly but am now stuck in a bootloop. I am running Hboot0.92 and CW3.0.0.8.
When I boot into Hboot and then Recovery anything I try to do it just show the CW icon and nothing else, pressing power takes me back to CW menu.
In searching the forums I have found this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1031752&highlight=bootloop. Should I follow the instructions from the post or is there anything else I could do.
Any help is appreciated and thank you in advance!!!
Did you try using the track pad to select things in Recovery, not the power button? Try that first.

Power button for select was disabled. To toggle it back on all you had to do was go from the bottom selection to top and back again a few times. It's a built-in feature in case your power key is broken

OTA broke root procedure?

I've been trying to root my TMo GS3 since about 445am this morning. I can get into download mode, I can flash the .TAR. Phone reboots fine, When I reboot into recovery, I get the stock recovery every time. I've tried a few different versions of CWM and TW and I get the same thing every time, Nothing. I bought this phone used, 2 weeks old, and it has 4.04 on it. Anybody have any insight for me? This is not my first time tinkering either. I've been here since the Sprint Mogul, and I can usually get it figured out. But this time, I'm stumped. Any help?
ADDED: I've also tried "Flashed with ODIN agian, latest CWM Touch 6.0.1.2, deselected AUTO REBOOT and F. Reset TIme, waited for it to PASS installation, pulled battery " and it still DID NOT WORK. Got that from here http://androidandme.com/thread/att-galaxy-s3-wont-boot-into-clockworkmod-recovery/

UPDATE...I used this method and it worked
I think those are for the original build LE6 though.
Use odin to get your recovery installed but uncheck auto reboot.
When done unplug and hold power untill the screen turns off. Immediately let go of power and then press and hold Power + Volume up + Home. (Be quick)
When you see blue text flash on top of screen release power but keep holding other two until you get into recovery. (You may not have to keep holding home and vol, but its always wirked for me)
Now flash your SuperSU/Superuser and reboot.
Once booted delete/rename these files:
/system/recovery-from-boot.p
/system/etc/install-recovery.sh
This will stop stock recovery from being rewritten.
Now using goo or rom manager reinstall recovery again if you so choose.
Hope that helps.

[q] Warning for any rooted Tab 7!!!!!

Today I finally rooted my Tablet 7 with some help from gr8nole here on XDA. Needless to say I was very happy and started downloading any and all apps that required root I was interested in. Unfortunately about an hour into my adventure I downloaded an app called LCD Density. DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS APP. It soft bricked my device after changing the density from 240 to 160. I am now just trying to get back to square one again and have no idea what to do. I wiped the cache partition and re flashed root. Reboot same thing again. The Samsung screen is vertical not horizontal and doing the infamous glow from blue to white and back to blue and nothing more continuously. I am in CWM now and not really sure what step to take next as I don't want to risk a hard brick. I went to Rom Manager in CWM and no files were there when I went to use the backup feature What should I do?

When you flash twrp or cwm in odin, you must uncheck autoreboot. Btw hold down power vol up and home button, when samsung logo appears, release the power button while still pessing down vol up and home

Why didnt you just change the density back? Open build.prop, or push a stock version of it via adb or (idk if it is possible) via fastboot.
Then yoir problem should be solved. Those tweaks have got nothing to do with cache, or data, or so
Thats also why you need root and also the reason, why it is not so easy, to root some devices
But try brain.exe and everything should work, as it should
