So I had an I747 with ATT running on SuperNexus (d2att Build 4), and I tried to flash to the latest ATT Lean Kernel. Cleared cache/dalvik, flashed, and rebooted. Phone would boot to the Samsung logo and shut down, whereas it used to load a Nexus boot animation afterwards (at least I think it shut down, the screen would be black and not do anything). I couldn't enter recovery at that point, and without a backup I just went ahead and flashed stock image with Odin without being able to reset to factory or clear the caches. Needless to say, I'm now unrooted with no custom recovery, and now the Samsung logo hangs after going through the animation, just glowing. I still can't get into recovery (it shows the initial Samsung screen saying it's going into recovery, but then reboots), but I can get into download mode. Not really sure what to do. I've got a job on the line, and I need to just get it in working order. I'd appreciate any help!
EDIT: Flashed TWRP with Odin successfully, can enter Recovery. Wiped cache/Dalvik and factory reset. Reboot. Phone goes through Samsung animation and ATT animation, and then hangs at glowing Samsung logo. Still don't know what to do.

Can you load a rom and kernel on a SD card and flash it ? Are you still unable to get into download mode ?
If you cant load a rom on an sd card then try download mode and just flash this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426
in odin. It will reroot you and you can go from there.
if you're able to use the above attached link to get your device up and going again (with root), you'll have to install a custom recovery again. not a big deal, just didnt want you to boot into recovery to flash something and find yourself in stock vs custom recovery. cheers!

Hi, I'm fairly new to Rooting and ROM flashing but having successfully flashed a few ROMs to my N7105 (Note II International LTE), I decided to go back to the stock firmware.
Having flashed the stock ROM for my region, my phone now does not get past the Samsung logo. It appears as though everything went ok in Odin but the phone just won't boot!!
Having done a bit of searching, I think it might be that my data/dalvik cache needs to be wiped (if I've got that wrong, be nice - I'm new to this!). Thing is, I can't find a way to wipe this cache without loading in to CWM recovery or similar. The recovery that I can currently boot in to does not allow me to wipe cache, only to go in to download mode or to reboot.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Never mind, just discovered holding Volume Up, Home and Power boots in to the actual recovery mode from which I did a factory resst.
Told you I was a NOOB
Hey guys,
I seriously screwed up my Note (T889). I installed the latest nightly of cm10.1, but it got stuck in a boot loop. I pulled the battery and tried to boot into cwm, but it would only boot into download mode or the loop. I tried to use odin to flash cwm back onto the phone, which seemed to work (I could boot into cwm once). While in cwm I did a factory reset and then rebooted the phone. Now when I turn it on it sits on the screen that says Samsung Galaxy Note 2 for a while then goes black, nothing else. I can boot into download mode, but I can't boot into cwm or the stock recovery any more. I tried using odin to flash cwm again from download mode, but I still can't boot into anything else.
I really just want my phone to be usable again right now, so if anyone can help me out at all I would really really grateful, thanks!
I've read this thread which seemed similar, but unless I'm doing something wrong my problem seems to be slightly different: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2034323
Flash TWRP then flash a aosp kernel.
this is XXXDDDAAA
Thank you so much, it's back to stock now!
I have had my s 3 for a while as has it also been rooted for a long period.
I recently had a bad rom flash which for some reason disabled me from booting into recovery or the rom. it would boot past the tmobile screen and get stuck on the flashing samsung screen. If i tried to boot the recovery it would say in blue letters booting recovery image on the top corner and then resume to boot the os which would always get stuck on flashing samsung logo. I can get into download mode and i flashed a stock rom from sammobile website along with the stock kernel and recovery and i can now get into recovery but the rom always gets stuck at the flashing samsung logo or whatever the custom roms splash animation is even on roms that are not stock. im hoping someone can shine some light on this because im afraid i have a shiny paperweight.
Go into recovery and do a factory reset, but just so you know, it will also wipe your internal sd

I have a real frustrating problem with my Canadian Rogers Note 3. I'm rooted and running CM11, but I was looking for a ROM that might be more stable than the nightly builds. I wanted to try a TW-based ROM so I downloaded BobCat, JediElite, and FireNote ROMs.
I copied the ROMs to the SD card, booted into CWM Recovery and tried flashing one of them (don't remember which). The installation seemed to go fine, no error messages or warnings. But when I finished and rebooted the phone just stopped at the Note 3 boot screen. No boot animation, no loading, nothing.
I went back to CWM Recovery, tried the other two ROMs, and got the exact same results. Then I tried flashing the stock Rogers Note 3 ROM. CWM refused to flash it and spat out some garbage about a corrupt zip file (re-downloaded it with the same results). I eventually gave up and restored the CM11 image I'd backed up.
At this point I began to reason maybe CWM wasn't suited to installing TW ROMs, so I decided I needed TWRP instead. Goog.Im and TWRP manager both refused to install TWRP however. So I dropped the TWRP Recovery zip on my SD card and tried flashing it using CWM.
Here’s where it gets really freaky. When my phone rebooted I got a "recovery booting" message, but the recovery never loaded. The screen just froze at the Note 3 logo. If I pulled the battery the phone would again display "recovery booting" and sit there endlessly. The only way I could break the cycle was booting to Download Mode, then exiting so it enters a normal ROM boot.
I let the phone boot up fully and then opened ROM Manager. It showed TWO recoveries installed, one CWM and one TWRP, apparently side by side. Is this even possible???
So anyway, I went back to playing around between ROM Manger, Goo.Im, and TWRP Manger, trying to re-flash it to either CWM or TWRP, but not both. Nothing worked; every time I tried booting to recovery the system would hang at the “recovery booting” message.
I eventually tired of this and decided to get out Odin. I flashed TWRP Recovery successfully (according to Odin), but it still won’t launch. I then tried flashing CWM Recovery with the same results.
So completely out of options, I tried flashing the stock Samsung Recovery. It boots just fine. So I try again flashing the custom recoveries, but they still refuse to launch. Each time I have to reinstall Samsung Recovery.
And that’s where I am currently: I have a (badly) working CM11 nightly ROM on my phone. I have the stock Samsung Recovery installed. I’m afraid to try flashing any zips using Samsung Recovery because my backup image was created using CWM, and if I can’t get CWM recovery to work I won’t be able to restore the backup.
Have I broken some law of the universe by trying to go from CWM to TWRP? Would TWRP work better with TouchWiz ROMs? And can I even install TouchWiz ROMs after hacking my phone to CM11 nightlies? Lastly, how can I get this $#@& Samsung Recovery off my beautiful phone and install a working custom recovery?
Hi guys,
I was running DarkWolf rom and I decided to go back to my factory stock rom (N900TUVUFOL1_N900TTMBFOL1_N900TUVUFOL1_HOME.tar.md5). Did that with Odin and it passed successfully. Now it started to reboot, but is stuck on the white screen that says T-Mobile. I reflashed the stock rom again using Odin and it passed again but upon reboot I am stuck at the same place. Am I freaking out because the first boot up is suppose to be longer than 40 minutes or is there a problem? Can someone please help me out.

That tends to happen some when flashing a stock ROM for some reason. If the initial boot hangs after flashing stock with Odin, most of the time you can fix the issue by booting to recovery and performing a Wipe data/Factory reset and Wipe cache partition.
wow i just coming from there I forget for like 10 minutes me factory reset lol just boot into recovery and make factory reset, thats the first thing we must do factory reset, my cell is working fine + root and custom recovery ( TWRP) and still working perfectly fine, however I can send tar for u just in case
