Need help
Try to flash Omega + ktoonz kernel and boot normal, but if I reboot get stuck on Samsung galaxy screen.
All ready try odin back to stook and no luck.
please help.............:crying:
What kernel did you use when you flashed Omega?
this happens to me sometimes, though simply removing the battery and reinserting it does the trick for me.
I was on Darth Stalker with ktoonz kernel if it matters.

Have you tried applying any recoveries other than stock with Odin? TWRP or CWM?
If you have did everthing you can and problem presist, then there's only way go to customers care give your phone and act dump.
It worked for my friend who messed with his note 800 and ended up with boot loop

A sure way of fixing the problem is to flash the tmobile version of the Deviant Kernel.
It's cwm or twrp flashable no need for odin.
No need for Odin unless you messed it up worst and it does not even try to boot
into the Omega rom.
So in other words if it's still trying to boot into Omega rom then the Deviant kernel
will fix it if you go into recovery and flash the M919 version of Deviant kernel.
Here is the link to the Tmobile cwm or twrp flashable Deviant kernel: http://d-h.st/X0b
After flashing this, if it still gets stuck on the logo screen then go back into cwm or twrp
recovery and do a "factory reset" and after that I am certain it will boot normally.
(note: factory reset does NOT wipe or delete the rom)
Thank a lot for your help.
I tried everything but still getting stuck on galaxy screen.
I think I know what was the problem, I format internal sd (format data, app , and scripts) on TWRP, that was the only different thing that i remember .
IF I format format internal SD again and flash a rom or restore backup it will boot normal and work normal until i restart the phone or power off, then it will get stuck in galaxy screen and i have to do the same process again.
any suggestion will be much appreciate.:crying:
Thanks again.

I think at this point an ODIN of the correct firmware for your device is in order, as on rebooting - nothing seems to work.
If this gets you back up, then reroot and flash TWRP again. Note - if you were using TWRP 2.5.0.3 - don't, as it has issues. The previous version is good.
After this, a restore of a nandroid backup should work (unless it was made with the TWRP version mentioned above).
Try to get into download mode and reflash stock tmobile tar. If you cant get into download mode get a usb jig. Only thing that worked for me

Basically this is what happened, I rooted my phone using TeamEpic-Root-from-Recovery-v5.zip and CWM-Recovery-LTE-SGS3-v5.tar.zip with Odin without any problems. Then I tried tampering with the framework-res.apk and I thought I did it correctly, I replaced it with the current res in the /system/framework folder of the internal sd. Then I rebooted my phone and bam stuck at the Samsung Galaxy S III screen. I've now tried finding a way to get into the internal sd card to replace the framework-res.apk back to original but my computer wont recognize it when in recovery or downloading mode. I have trying reflashing Clockworkmod several times and I've tried wiping the cache and factory reset. When I factory reset it says error mounting sd card, aborting. I am now out of ideas as to how to fix it and I'm not sure what to do with PIT files, which could be a possible solution. I am running Tmobile's Galaxy S3 T-999 16gb. All that being said, anyone who can help me get my phone back up and running I will reward you with $10 through paypal, because that's how desperate I am to fix my phone before someone finds out I bricked it!
Re: $10 Reward to whoever can help me get my phone working again! (SOFT BRICK)
Something similar happened to me. What I did was use a different lower version of Odin and reinstalled the drivers, and everything worked fine. It may not work for you but it's just a, thought, and try reflashing with the T-Mobile Stock ICS rom.

Thanks for the reply, what do you mean by reinstall drivers, like kies? I can't flash any rom's because I can't transfer the zip files over to the sd card since my phone won't recognize it since it won't go past the samsung screen. All I can do is flash clockwork mod from odin like .md5 and .tar. If I install a lower version of Odin what version did you use, and do you think flashing clockwork mod will be able to replace the framework-res.apk through odin?

Reinstall the drivers for Odin, and you can even try reinstalling Kies too. Make sure you restart your pc after you reinstall kies and the drivers.

Are you using a SGH-T999 or an I9300? If the former, use the links in my signature. Should fix it if it's not hosed.
Uninstall Kies (and the drivers if the Kies uninstall doesn't do it).
You may want to Odin a stock rom. If you do, it it before flashing a recovery.

Thank you for the files, I'm now able to flash roms from my sd. I"ve flashed your clockwork and superuser. However, when I load up the phone I'm still getting stuck at the samsung logo
no external sdcard?
Did you try to flash another rom? What were you using, and what did you flash?
Why are you trying to fix a bricked ROM with CWM?
Just Odin a stock rom, and work from there. I don't know why you would keep trying to reflash recovery, that isn't going to do squat for you.
Go to the section/post in the general section on ODIN and pick a STANDARD ODIN image...Odin isn't that hard to manage.
Or use the S3 toolbox posting in the general section.
Most likely, this is because the rom has something funny in the cache...WIPE it to factory if you can get into a recovery...

Now that I updated my clockwork mod I'm able to flash from my sd card. Trouble for me is finding the right ROM that is compatible and appealing. I've tried a few now and whenever I flash them I go to boot up the phone and I get stopped on the samsung galaxy s iii logo. There has to be a way to wipe everything and flash a fresh clean rom. I've stayed up till 2 in the morning only to get up at 6 in the morning two nights in a row now totaling almost 10 hours of trying to fix my phone

From this quote it seems that you are flashing TWRP recovery and the flashing CWR right after it. That makes no sense. I don't use CWR on this phone but have used it before. So I'm not sure that LTE should be in the description as T999 isn't an LTE device. I could be wrong though. You can get an Odin-able version of either TWRP or CWR from this page.
Go here and download the stock image TMO T999UVDLJA. Follow the directions in the OP (make sure you unzip it first. Read and then read it again) . Fire up Odin and put the Root66 tar in the PDA slot (nothing in PIT). Flash the Root66. It will take about 5 minutes or so. Once it says Pass it should reboot. It WILL bootloop. If you have already flashed EITHER TWRP or CWR, then boot into recovery and Factory Reset. If you haven't flashed EITHER TWRP or CWR, then pull your battery and boot back into Download Mode. From there you put EITHER TWRP or CWR into the PDA slot and flash it. Pass. The reboot into recovery and Factory Reset.
First boot will take the longest bc it has to rebuild the /cache and /dalvik-cache. Let's get you up and running before you move on to flashing a custom ROM, OK?
Hey guys, i decided to finally root my s3 today and install a custom OS. All was going fin until i had to install GApps. I installed the wrong version of GApss for my firmware (4.1.2) and got a constant loop of errors such as "the com.google blah blah failed to respond", upon clicking OK on this, i just got the error "Sorry, the setup wizard has crashed" OVER AND OVER again in an infinite loop, making my phone unusable.
I am now currently unsure of how to reset my phone back to factory settings because every guide to do that requires you to actually be able to use the phone, pretty silly IMO in an event like this.I can still access team win recovery.... But thats not really helping me at all.... I tried wiping everything out of pure frustration and i think i just made my situation worse. And no, im a retard and did not create any backups (MFW )
So my phones unaccessable, and wont go past the boot logo for Siyahs kernal? So it is not even showing up as a device on my computer, meaning i cant even put any zips to install though team win recovery.....
Any help is appreciated.

Did you backup your stock ROM? If so just boot into recovery and restore, if not you can get an SD card adapter put a ROM on it and flash.
A question for you... Why don't you reflash your current ROM correctly....

Put it into download mode and flash a stock tar.
But you could easily fix this by wiping everything and reflashing your rom, no need to go back to stock.

If you still have the Rom you flashed, boot into recovery, wipe system and flash your Rom just like you did before... don't flash any gapps, just boot after flashing the Rom... then use the browser that comes with the Rom and download the correct gapps, boot back into recovery and flash correct gapps, problem solved...

I used goo manager to install paranoid android... so i dont have the rom... And like i said i formatted literally everything, including the internal SD card. So how do i go about this through ODIN so i dont have to go buy an SD card...lol. That is what i tried to make clear in my first post..... there is no OS installed anymore. Nothing.
Every "rom" i have downloaded has been a .zip, not .tar.
I am very confused.
bump :S
It's late and I'm already in bed, so I won't be able to post my typical tutorial, but what you'll have to do is download a Rom to your pc, boot your phone into download mode and use adb to push the zip to your internal memory. Then you can flash the Rom zip in recovery mode. That'd be the best way if you want to avoid buying/borrowing a memory card.

I just dont get it, everytime I flash a rom from external sd, with twrp it sticks on galaxy s4 boot screen, when I restore nand it sticks on same screen when choose reboot system, and this is all even before my restores...after a factory data reset clearing cache and dalvik. the only time it boots, is when I format system by typing YES in twrp then restore my backup, and it reboots.
Same goes for cwm recovery. It does same thing when I install any ROM or try to restore my clockworkmod backup after choosing reboot system is stay stuck on the galaxy s4 screen I did notice that when I reboot into recovery for a 2nd time after its stuck on the gs4 screen then all of a sudden it boots up into the splash screen and powers on
Even installing roms now dont work , its always wanting to stick on the galaxy screen, and when I say stuck I mean really this isnt just a long boot , its no boot.
Is this my fault as far as my process or a real issue.

I'd get the odin file for your phone and run it. Maybe you corrupted something. Just get the odin from the odin thread, run it through, and re-root. If problem persists, reply.

I use TWRP and have had no issues with restoring back ups. The last few days I have been going from death star, wicked and a 9505 rim named bobcatrom.
If you are having problems I definitely would Odin back to stock an start all over again.
Oh yea my backups are on the external sd card.
I can't get the system to boot up after flashing the Wicked rom. It booted only once but now I am stuck at the Galaxy S4 logo screen at start up. I have tried flashing to another rom but still its not working. It stays stuck at the Galaxy S4 logo. I have done a clean wipe too just to make sure. Any suggestions on fixing this. The recovery I am using is TWRP. I tried clockwork mod but it does not mount my SD card.

Are you using a 64GB sd card in exFAT format? If so try booting without the sd card. If that don't work you might need to Odin back to stock. Using stock recovery wipe data and start over again.
Also what version of TWRP are you using?
I recommend Philz CWM version as TWRP gave me trouble when using with Aroma installer.

Didn't work. The philz does not even boot into the recovery at all. It just sits at the logo with recovery booting blue text at the top left. Basically at this point I could go back to stock just to have something usuable at this point.
Alright, no need to worry bud, as long as it turns on, you're good, ha.
If you want to go back to pure stock, flash this via ODIN: http://hotfile.com/dl/213546261/7ab...-SGH-M919-TMB-M919UVUAMDL-1366964131.zip.html
It is the full stock firmware.
You can follow my guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31890391&postcount=2
But instead of downloading the file in step 1, download the one I listed above.
I had trouble using twrp also, im currently running wicked 6.1 without any issues but here's what I did when I was stuck installing. I went back and cleared data factory reset, and cleared cash then went to my nandroid back up and reinstalled backup. Then I went and downloaded cwm touch recovery installed, then I wipe data factory reset and reinstalled the rom wicked and it worked. Booted up just fine with different recovery. I was having other issues with twrp so cwm worked well. Hope this helps.

Everything was fine for MONTHS
Got in my car and plugged my AUX cable to my phone for music and the phone froze.
Force rebooted the phone and it started boot looping.
Rebooted to recovery (TWRP) and TRIED to wipe dalvik and cache and it FAILED, said it couldn't mount dalvik
Rebooted to recovery again and wiped all partitions and this time it worked so I proceeded to re-install GE rom, still bootlooping
Came home and tried to use ODIN to flash M919UVUAMDL and it failed.
Tried ODIN to flash M919UVUEMK2, also failed (sorry don't have the error messages right now)
Rebooted phone into download mode again and phone said there was an issue and to use Kies to recover
Installed Kies and started emergency recovery and that went through fine and the phone finished and STILLLLLLL BOOT LOOPS !!!!!!!!!!!
Copied the file that Kies downloaded (M919UVUFNB4) and tried ODIN again to flash that and it flashes fine but STILLL BOOT LOOPS

Only Samsung can reset your Knox flag. You can't expect instant responses here. People read and answer the questions they know how to. Not doing a full wipe before installing a different ROM often causes soft bricks and bootloops. I would start there although that doesn't explain why you couldn't mount Dalvik. Try a different recovery. Many people have had trouble with TWRP. Philz Touch works well if you haven't already tried it.

1. Samsung WON'T reset my flag... they won't even TOUCH the phone in any way shape or form. I spent almost two hours dealing with them and being honest about the situation. And they STILL won't do anything at all. The rep I was speaking too even said the first thing they do is check that flag and if its popped, they put it back in the box and send it back with no further action. So I will not buy form Samsung ever again.
2. I'm not expecting instant responses at all and nothing I said should have been interpreted at such. I made the comment of 53 views in 4 hours and not a single reply ... I was hoping for a better ratio of responses than that.
3. Where are you getting "Not doing a full wipe before installed a different ROM..." I never said that I didn't... and if you read what I took the time to organize neatly, I specifically state that full wipe was what I tried BEFORE re-installing the SAME rom.
4. Can't try a different recovery if I can't even get the stock factory image to do an initial boot.

Sooooo umm what ?
Anyway... I flashed PhilZ on my phone, did full wipe, tried installing the same GE rom I was using... didn't work.
Tried installing stock rom, didn't work.
Tried flashing M919UVUFNB4 via ODIN... and it flashes fine but again, first boot wont work.
Ok so .... I guess installing PhilZ... then full wipe, then flashing M919UVUFNB4 TWICE back to back did the trick.... no freaking clue how but it worked
I spoke too soon. Went through first boot. Got all the way to the end setup and then it rebooted on its own ... and now its stuck in a boot loop again

Since your using philz, choose install new ROM, then go to advanced and wipe dalvik, THEN go to mounts and select the one close to the bottom, wipe SD/data or something..... This will wipe your internal SD, OK so then install your rom and reboot.....
I am starting to think you flashed a non GE kernel and didnt realize it You just got to give the phone some love, thats all. It knows when your upset you know.

lol
The weirdness continues
sooo it started boot looping again. Then I rebooted to recovery (which obviously after flashing NB4, its no longer PhilZ) and did factory reset. Now its working again with latest firmware.
Also I flashed the GE rom from HERE in XDA and used it for like 2 or 3 months then it suddenly stopped working so I don't think the kernal was the issue... I'm so freaking confused

Flash something else, GE is boring, Flash something crazy like Slim or something, that might work... Possibly it could be a bootloader issue, did you ever get on the MK2? Maybe you got one of the female phones. Sammy made some by mistake. they can be real finicky every now and then, like they work just fine most of the time, but about once a month or so they just crap out. Could be that too.

No never got MK2... went straight to NB4
And I LIKE GE lol...
Well whatever happened it seems stable again now currently on stock NB4
Next thing to check is if the knox warranty flag is still tripped... Do you know how to do that ?
Yea your Knox flag is tripped alright, you have zero chance if ever getting back to 0x0.... Nobody knows how to do that brother.

Just put the phone in download mode. Power off then volume up, home and power. You'll see it when you get into download mode.

Philz's and TWRP both had small glitches on the GS4 4.2.2 Stock Rom.
I downloaded and installed the OUDHS-Recovery-jfltetmo-1.0.3.3.tar and have it all PERFECT now! You can search using exactly that filename and download it for your use. IT IS THE flashable Recovery Version.
I can, using Rom Manager, NAME THE BACKUP before booting into recovery, and it makes the backup just as I named it!
I can also recover using Rom Manager, and visually select what backup file I want to restore to, again, before booting into recovery!
CWM type backups take longer then TWRP backups to complete, but I have not had any instance that a backup I made couldn't be restored.
I did have that problem using "TWRP" and "On Line Backup". (No longer do I trust using those)
Hope this info helps your decision!
Good Luck and Aloha!
