Didn't work.
If fixed it by downloading Stock ROM with root and flashed it with odin.

Being calm is number one...
Anytime you get a boot loop go into recovery. If you can't right away pull the battery, reinstall battery and he again.
All you need is a factory reset to get out of a boot loop. Happens to the best of us. Not needed to flash with odin.
Glad you're all fixed up regardless

[Q] I think I soft bricked my phone?

So I am tired of using preview builds and custom roms,glitchy software and such, I was using a custom ROM, so I go online and search how to go back to stock rom, I found an article that said for the galaxy s3 you just need to do the same thing that you did when you rooted it, go to odin, and flash [PDA] thing to stockbell66.tar file, and I did so, but after the phone rebooted it stayed at the samsung glowing logo forever, I have to OS on my phone now, I tried flashing the stock one and it is now stuck at the samsung logo, I am still able to go back in download mode, and even recovery, but what do I do next? how do I install the stock bell firmware back on to my phone? and how do I fix the soft brick?

[Q] Stuck at glowing Samsung Logo

Ok, i'm not a noob (at least i don't think so),
I've flashed every which rom before to play with, no problems ever.
Currently i'm on CM10 Nightly, with stock CM10 kernel and last ATT Modem (JB)
Wanted to go and try out the TW official release but need to stay rooted for TB.
I got CWM - cleared cache, cleared data, cleared davlik, formated /system /data /cache /sdcard
Went to download mode, kicked off ODIN
phone reboots and gets stuck at Samsung glowing loader
Tried above with TeamWin recovery - same thing
Tried to dirty flash over CM10 - same thing.
Tried to flash cache/davlik/ etcc with CM10 installed and flash with Odin, same thing.
Tried even all above steps with stock / unrooted JB rom, same thing.
Re-downloaded both stock and rooted roms and tried all of the above steps, same thing.
I can Nandroid back to CM10 no problem and it loads with no issues....
I'm about to give up on TW but just wanted to see if anyone has any ideas what am i missing?
Try reinstalling the samsung usb drivers. Seems like something went wrong while flashing from ODIN...

Could also be an issue with the ROM file itself...where did you download it?

After flashing the rom you need to do a factory reset in recovery

Whenever it gets stuck, hold down the power button, up volume, and home key... Once shut off let go do the same, when you feel it vibrate, let off the power button and hold up and home key. It should reboot into recovery and you can do a factory reset to wipe your data. wipe Data/factory rest and wipe cache, then reboot. Mine booted right up. :good:
Someone else's post that I saved for myself on note pad for when it happens to me so I don't forget

Not working for me.
I'm stuck at Samsung Logo.
Tried to do the factory reset in stock recovery that's loaded after ROM install with Odin, no go.
Installed CWM recovery and tried to do reset / wipe cache/ wiped davlik/ no go
Tried to re-download ROM and tried again, no go.
Tried to load TeamWin recovery and do the same thing no go.
Still stuck at Samsung logo -
Waited good 15 20 min and still stuck
sorry i am at a loss
Try downloading a different version of tw stock rom.
It could most likely be because the original one you downloaded in corrupted or a incomplete file.

N7100 does not boot past start up screen

Hi All,
Couple days ago I tried to flash my note2 with mobile odin back to stock rom but something went wrong and since I have not been able to get past the welcome screen *Samsung Galaxy Note 2*. I can get into a recovery screen but I am unable to choose a new rom to flash with.
I ve tried to flash it with odin 3.07 and via kies but no joy.
At this stage I am quite desperate to get this resolved. Can anyone help me?
Download correct stock rom to pc. Mount SD Card in recovery. Transfer file. flash from recovery.
Flash stock rom via pc odin
make a nandroid bake up as soon as you root your phone next time.

Unfortunately I do not have that option. I only have volume up to continue or volume down to restart. When I go volume up the phone goes into download mode.
Yeah. Then you have to flash stock firmware.

He would have lost his data then. Flashing doesn't remove data.

True but i had to use Odin and every guideline said the filed had to color yellow while for me it stayed blue but i figured heck at the moment it's just a paperweight so I don't have a lot to loose.
Now Rooting it again and placing my nandroid back up back and I am all sorted.
Thank you again!

I lost my data anyway I had backed it up with titanium but ran into problems restoring it... Lesson learned to create an image of my Android once I got it sorted again.
Thanks
I had the same problem and almost had a heart attack thinking I bricked my phone when downgrading back to 4.1.1... Needless to say I just had to do a factory reset in recovery and it worked fine

[Q} Odin newest 4.1.2 root66???

Basically just put phone into download mode, odin'ed newest tar/md5 root 66 file...
let it reboot to the SVMSUNG logo, (it got past the original Galaxy S III) and is stuck here....
I tried just rebooting into download and flashin CWM after 10min of being stuck on the 2nd 'SVMSUNG' logo...
Should I have waited till phone reboots alllllll the way up? Felt like it was never going to...
Give it about 10 mins. But you need to reboot recovery and factory reset. Stock recovery will wipe your internal sdcard.

OK so after I put in download mode, odin the newest root66 tar... after it reboots and stays stuck on the samsung logo, reboot back into recovery mode instead of download, then factory resett?
Exactly.

I went through the same process about a month ago. I was stuck on the Samsung logo for almost an hour and finally pulled the battery and did a factory reset. It worked great but I almost crapped my pants thinking I had my first brick. Hopefully the instructions given to you worked well.

I think I bricked my phone...

Hey guys, I think I bricked my phone, but I haven't encountered anything like this yet. I rebooted into recovery from a rom, but it keeps bootlooping, but keeps trying to get into recovery (so a recovery bootloop kind of thing?). Does anybody know how to fix this? I have tried pulling the battery out but it just keeps bootlooping. Any help would be appreciated.
Try this.... turn your phone completely off then boot into download mode "trying to break the boot cycle" and hit cancel after you hit cancel the phone will try to restart.
If this doesn't work try to flashing a different recovery thru Odin.
Hoping this helps

Sounds like a recovery bootloop. Try what was suggested above.
This happens when your recovery somehow gets corrupted. Using odin to flash another recovery will fix the issue.

Thanks! But... I tried the above and it's still not working.. I guess I will have to install a new recovery through odin.
