Not sure if this should go into the development forums or here.
I got my Galaxy S3 a few days ago, rooted and flashed a custom ROM. I decided I didn't like it, so I downloaded the unrooted stock ROM here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1904099
After doing that, I was able to get the phone to boot, but when trying to apply root again, it causes it to fail. Figuring it was a fluke, I tried the process again (apply stock ROM, boots fine, reboot to apply root from recovery).
Now, the phone boots with the Samsung logo, then the Galaxy S3 Logo, then it goes black. I can hear the audio from the Sprint boot animation, then the led flashes blue and I have no display. After a few seconds, I also get the tone from my PC that it's connected via USB, but the card and phone don't mount, so I can't access the file system.
Any ideas? I can get to download mode and the default recovery.
Thanks!
Find the Odinable version of stock. Remember, when you root this phone, you can't reboot when Odin "passed" you have to remove the battery and turn it on in recovery mode.
Or check in Original Development. I think there's a root method by Chainfire.

First unless you are a developer releasing something never make a thread in development.
Second this is a question so should go in Q&A. Rule 15 will help you decide where to post.

Hello, I honestly hope someone can help me !!
My phone won't boot up at all. I keep getting the Samsung logo with the words "recovery booting...." in the top left corner but it never boots into recovery mode.. I'm able to go into the other mode(forgot the name of it) but anything I flash in Odin fails.. Does any have any ideas on how I can get my phone back up and running.? I really need your help
What cause this..?
I wanted to flash a rom so I booted into recovery but didn't know how to backup my phone using Android System Recovery 3e. There was know option for backup. I then proceeded to flash cwm_Superuser_v3.0.7. When I tried to reboot after the "pass" flash, it never went into recovery and now everytime I take the battery out and try to turn it on, it still wants to try to reboot into recovery... ( HELP ME PLEASE..!!!
Were you rooted running a custom.recovery prior to flashing ?

Watch this it should get you back to stock. Then I suggest you read up on what you are doing before trying it again. It sounds like you were not rooted or you didn't have the right recovery before doing whatever you were trying, but we need a lot more info about what you did and were trying to do before we can help you.

Basically, this is what happened:
I wanted to flash a custom rom for the first time so I decide to backup my apps first, which I was successful. Then, I process into recovery to do a complete backup but did not see any option for backup. The recovery was "Android System Recovery 3e". I didn't know how to use it so I then proceed to flash CWMv3.04 using Odin, which it pass. I rebooted my phone, the Samsung logo came up with the word "recovery booting..." but never went into recovery and now that's all it keeps doing.....

Did you try pulling the battery and putting it and download mode and re flashing recovery through Odin? And that was the stock recovery that you had on the phone

Yeah, I tried that but it failed everytime.. I fixed my phone tho, I used another laptop. For some reason my laptop don't like Odin. I uninstalled the Samsung drivers, got rid of Odin, reinstalled everything, tried again but it still failed.. I don't know why my laptop is doing that but I got it now.
Thanks everyone for your help.!

With superuser there is a permanent unroot feature built in. Just click it and it will remove superuser.apk and SU binary file.
And as you know now. This belongs in the Q&A section. You can ask a mod to move it for you.

just set your phone to download mode (power on with Volume down depressed) and plug it in to your PC. Run this and you should be stock FL24 and unrooted.

Hi.
I hope that I choose the right section. I have a Samsung Galaxy SIII GT-9300. Lets say that i was full and wanna try something else so I downloaded the Samsung Galaxy S3 ToolKit flash recovery insecure image with TWRP, rooted and unlock the bootloader, because I wanna try the Ubuntu Phone. Well later on I found that TWRP wasn't the right choice and because I follow the tutorial probably wrong way I wipe everything. Then I tried to install the cm-10 and error show up. I tried to google it and almost everywhere I read that I need CWM 6. But here is the problem I have on my phone just TWRP and nothing else. How do I put back Android System? I need a help! I spend 2days googling testing and haven't found solutions that works.

Pull the battery out....... Put battery back into phone.. Press and hold volume down, home button, and power button...that will put you into download mode, then you can use Odin.

You can boot into twrp means of course you can boot into download mode. Or go and ask nandroid backup file for ur device with som1 in that section. Place it on your extrnal memory using adopter and pc and restore backup via TWRP.

God bless you! I was trying 2days get a way out and come up nothing and it's that simple.
Something has gone horribly wrong... I was running rooted/stock using the Team Epic procedure for several months now without a problem. I attempted to return to stock tonight using the method posted here:
http://www.epiccm.org/2012/06/sprint-sgs3-stock-restore.html
Something has gone horribly wrong. I get the Samsung splash screens but then it goes to a pulsing blue to purple LED and that's it.
I can get it into download mode and bring up CWM to select the ROM, but that's it.
I'm in over my head here, big-time I thought I had it figured out, but apparently not.... Help!!
Thanks, gang!
if you can get into recovery mode this is the best i can think of to do, is go to this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1904099 and download the one for your size phone then copy it onto a sd card, put it in your phone and enter recovery mode and flash it. youll be back to factory.

I'm still a HUGE rookie... what's a nandroid? (and if I have to ask, I'm sure I didn't...) It wasn't in the instructions from the Team Epic guys...
I have been using Titanium Backup Pro for Root to do backups every few days to DropBox... I'm hoping that will prove to be useful here... If I can get it working again.... Download time is up to 32 minutes now... Nuts!
nandroid is a whole phone backup that you do in recovery.how your phone is, is what the back up will be. and yeah that download time is carzy but sometimes it will speed up.
tb is only app backups really, so after you get your phone running like a champ again, you run tb and re install your apps and their data.
hope it works out for you thou

OK, so once this is finished downloading, what comes next? I'm still a little confused on the whole 'odexed/dedexed' thing... I'm assuming I need to load it onto the SD card (which I can do), plug that into the phone, and then select it from CWM? Or do I need to go back to the stock recovery first using Odin?
Post to let all know how u made out with the download. If u still need help, ur at the right place.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
Don't worry about odexed or deodexed right now, after you flash that, you will be back at stock as if you just walked out the store with your phone, factory, then you can start all over,,, that rom/file will make your phone stock.

So far, no luck... It appears that the download aborted after I went to bed. The file was supposed to be 806Mb, but came in at 432Mb. If I try to load it onto the phone, it says, "Can't open /external...(long file name)....zip (bad). Installation aborted.
I also downloaded the MD4 file last night, and that appears to have been successful. It seems to be working properly for the moment. It's mounting the partition which is a good start.

ETA: Looking good.... Got the Sprint splash screen, and now the 'Android is Upgrading, Optimizing app XX of XXX'....
Aaaand, we're live people!! Success! MD4 is up and running, and there doesn't seem to have been ANY loss of data.... It didn't exactly return it to stock either as all my data is all still there, but it does appear to have removed SuperUser, which would mean I'm no longer rooted, correct? It also appears to have gone back to the stock recovery. So to re-root, does the 'Team Epic Root from Recovery' method I used before still work? (i.e. use Odin to install custom recovery, then flash the Team Epic Root from Recovery .zip file)
THanks a million, gang! At least I have a working phone again, with apparently no loss of data at the moment. It'll be nice to have my Root back eventually, so Tasker can do its thing, but for now, it's more than a paperweight!

If I understand correctly, I can still use the same Team Epic Root from Recovery file to install the CWM recovery regardless of which version (MB1 or MD4) I have on my phone, right? Or is there a different tar file I need to use to root the MD4 version?
Sorry for the dumb questions... Very new to this stuff still...
just use the same method you did the first time you rooted and youll be good to go.
soory for the late response but yea, I believe montecarlo's right. Sounds like u used skunk ape's guide for rooting? If so should b no problem. If u used a toolbox, it may/may not have the md4 update?

Got it now. Rooted in just a few minutes... Easy-peasy! Just used Odin like I did the first time.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I can just leave the 'return to stock' ROM on the SD card, and if I need to head to the Sprint store for some reason, I can just boot into recovery, select that one, and presto! returned to stock, right?
Thanks again for all the help with the rookie mistakes! You guys rock!!
