So i attempted to root my gs3, i had succeeded in doing so. i had cm10 flash and was looking good but once i tried to flash gapps to my phone, i am now stuck right before the os boots up and get an error message saying that gapps has stopped working and must force close and unfortunately, setup wizard has stopped working. after attempting to recover using twrp, which failed, i tried to flash my recovery zip i had made from titanium backup. now i am still stuck at previously mentioned screen but twrp is now gone and when i boot into recovery mode it comes up with the stock mode. being dumb and thinking that the recovery from titanium would be enough i didn't make a back-up using nandroid. i can still get to download mode as well as recovery mode but i am not entire sure if usb debugging mode is still on or not. i have odin downloaded on my computer but am not entirely sure on how to go about restoring my phone. at this point i'd be happy just to get it back up and running stock. can anyone help?
Update:So i downloaded a stock rom and tried flashing it using odin and now i am stuck on the samsung splash screen. been waiting about 5 min. but would still appreciate any input if possible

If you have Odin already you need to just download the stock rooted rom and flash it. Make sure when you flash a custom Rom that your recovery is up to date and you download the correct gapps package.
Ignore any file names. The video is just too get you accustomed to Odin.

Hi,
i found a simliar thread that was talking about a similar subject, but didn't answer my question. i have lost it and cant find that same thread for help.
rooted -flashed bad rom - everything keeps closing(apps, Google sync)--- cant get int to recovery mode because of error
****I unlocked bootloader and rooted my GalaxyNex. then installed ROM maneger. i flashed CWM,then backed up my ROM. i tested it by flashing my backed up ROM, after i had messed around and my phone went back to normal. i was feeling safe. i noticed that i was having trouble getting into the recovery mode because of the belly open with exclamation Point. i read that it is because CWM was losing permission? i found that i just had to re-flash CWM every time right before i go into recover mode. i flashed a ROM from ROM maneger and everything worked until i turned the phone on. i cant sync Google account, and basically all apps close immediately (no key board too). I cant get into recovery mode and i cant down load ROM maneger to try to re-flash CMW to restore from older ROM.
I am sorry if this is already been answered i have try to find my situation but i couldn't.
I tried to re-flash the clock work recover image through the terminal of my mac but it says permission denied... i guessing i need to find a way to re flash to stock from fastboot is this possible ?
Pull the battery and hold power + volume and get into fast boot. Flash stock images from here

Thanks I got really lucky i was able to re flash Clock work recovery in fast boot with the command
./fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.5.0.4-toro.img
then i was able to get into the proper recovery mode and re flash my backed up image.
if i wanted to re flash a original image would the terminal command look like this
./fastboot flash recovery "Imagename" ? i might have just got lucky but i am guessing thats how you re-flash something to your phone?
now that i have gotten back to the beginning, why is it that i have to re flash CMW every time to get in correct recovery mode? or how do i stop it from giving me the recovery error when trying to get to the correct recovery mode?
thanks again
Glad your good! Hate to see these threads but we all go through it sooner or later

After you fastboot flash the CWM image, use ADB, a terminal, or a file explore to remove or rename the file /system/recovery-from-boot.p
I have been trying to find an answer for the last several hours. But I can't seem to get anything to work.
I have the AT&T GS3 and I was able to flash AOKP but then I wanted to revert back to stock. I tried the toolkit and followed the steps and what might of happened is that AOKP did not get wiped completely when I flashed the stock image. Now after successfully flashing the stock image (I get the PASS! on Odin), my phone is stuck while booting. It goes past the AT&T boot image but gets stuck on "SAMSUNG". I tries flashing through ODIN, another downloaded version of the stock image but it didn't work. What am I doing wrong?
Another problem with being stuck in bootloop is that since I flashed the stock image; I think I no longer have CWM. I can't find a way to get to recovery.
I'm not really sure how to help but if you can get to the boot animations you aren't bricked. I know you're not on verizon but in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1759642 it says when coming from an AOSP rom back to the stock rom you have to flash a stock boot.img before flashing the stock rom. Hope you can get it working again
Did you make a nandroid backup before you flashed the Rom...if you did you can restore from cwm recovery...hold power, volume up, and home...after the screen goes black let go of the power...hope this helps

If you can get into download mode , just flash recovery from odin.
And how long have you waited at samsung logo , it might take few minutes to bootup.
I don't have CWM recovery. It got stuck on the Samsung logo for 20 minutes before I gave up and did a battery pull.
What do I flash through odin to get it working again. Which recovery file?
Ok, I just used the method described in this article and I am still stuck at the SAMSUNG logo.

Tried that. Still same problem. Noticed that the boot-stock-att-sgh-i7.tar is only 10.5 mb. I don't know much about this, but is that tar file enough to get me unbricked?
usually the .tar file should be much larger than that. It's possible that the file you downloaded got corrupted. Try re downloading the file and than flashing it again.

Hello I recently messed up my phone trying to get a custom rom onto my phone. (It is a l710 model)
I can boot into Clockwork Recovery and ODIN just fine, but I phone won't start up.
I used GS3 toolkit to root phone and it all worked fine, but then used clockwork to install custom rom.
I want to recover my phone but the only rom on the internal SD is the one that doesn't work.
I have a Nandroid backup I made using the galaxy s3 toolkit, its on the computer and sd card.
However I cannot restore using toolkit since it just waits for the phone to be on and in usb debugging mode to continue
Recovery says "Couldn't open directory" "No files found" when trying to restore backup.
I would try puting another rom on an sd card but it only browses internal storage (internal sd).
I went to mount external sd but didnt seem to help
Not sure if ODIN can do anything...
Don't know what else to try

I tried that but my phone just flashes samsung then the samsung galaxy s III and then turns off (or at least it appears to be off).
Is there a way to restore Nandroid backups with odin?

You can get adb/the toolkit to see the phone. Go into the device manager while your phone is plugged in and booted to recovery. You should see a device with a ! next to it should be your phone. If you manually install the driver the toolkit will see it. Have the toolkin boot you into download mode. If you have recovery Odin mode should be okay, u sure ur holdin "vol down,home,pwr"?
Thanks for your time.
I managed to get it working.
What I did was
1. using odin, reflash the insecure boot thing.
2. reinstall the rom through recovery
3. factory reset
and then is wasnt stuck in a boot loop anymore
after that I could access internal storeage sd.
I had this same issue. After using ODIN Rom would hang on boot animation. Would never boot all the way and I gave it close to 45 minutes. I also found the only way to resolve this issue was doing a factory reset after flashing through ODIN. Im using Vzw model so I guess it is happening cross platforms.

ok heres the play by play of what i did to get from a fully functioning s3 to brick.
I used Samsung GS3 toolkit and rooted did full nandroid backup installed CWM recovery 5 something then i went to install the at&t version of cynogenmod10. which seemed to be working fine but i was without the google play store on that rom so i installed from zip and i wasnt happy with how it looked so i decided to go back to my nandriod backup which i did threw recovery. when it was doing the recovery it didnt successfully restore the (system) folder. Then i rebooted and am now stuck in bootloop where it just shows the samsung logo. ive tried going into recovery and it doesnt work. It will flash with the screen saying going into recovery with blue writing on top left. then goto black till i release the buttons then it continues into bootloop. any help would be appreciated right now im installing andriod sdk to view the boot log as it boots up.

If you can't get into recovery your only option is to reflash a stock rom via ODIN. This is assuming you can get into download mode. (Vol Up + Home + Power) Stock images can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1968625
Follow the directions in the post. Once you are done with the flash, go into recovery and factory reset, wipe dalvik and wipe cache. Reboot and you should have a fully functioning s3 again. Albeit a unrooted s3, but a function s3 nonetheless. You will have to re-root, re-install cwm (I recommend looking into TWRP instead, better recovery IMO), and then you can start flashing again. Make sure you make another Nandroid before continuing to flash. =)

oh ok i found out i wasnt releasing the buttons properly i am now in recovery mode so im guessing the route to go now is to do factory restore im wondering is there a factory image to do that or do i have to download one ive downloading one now from a source on xda
ok so i got the stock firmware and i did factory wipe with catch and dalvik. then i booted into download mode and but in odin 3.07 it isnt being recognized like the box isnt displaying. Im gonna try some different cables and maybe reboot my computer.

You may not not need Odin. Load a ROM on a SD card and just flash it. Sounds like you just have a bad flash. A basic soft brick.

yeah ill give that a go. gotta love havin these canada variants. oh yea would i flash the zip folder the mp5 file came in?
I went through the normal procedure of installing a new ROM, I wiped w/factory reset, got hit with a "status 7" error. I looked it up and it's apparently a problem with conflicting recovery manager files. That makes sense because I have CWM recovery and it asked me to install TWRP. I guess you can't have both?
I followed a tutorial explaining how to edit the userscript file to bypass the error and it seemed like it was going to install at first but I still got hit with it. Now my computer doesn't recognize my s3 (d2spr) so I have to put the files on an external microSD. I tried to restore from CWM but it wouldn't let me. I'm pretty new to this stuff so I'm not sure how to proceed from here.
Your best option is Odin back to stock and start over again.
