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.

so i just my galaxy s3 (tmobile) last night
rooted this morning and i'm kind of stuck in a boot loop
i wiped and tried flashing cm9
gave me an error, so i converted the d2tmo cwm with the tool kit and flash cm9 again
it flashed but will not boot into cm9, so i tried wiping again and it gave me an error message
I can get into download mode, and i can get into recovery
so i know i'm not bricked. I can't get any flashable zips onto the internal memory
also tried an SD card. no luck
what are my options at this point?
thanks in advance!!!

Odin back to stock and start over.

I can't seem to find the information for my situation, so I'm asking for help.
I flashed CM10 onto my phone about a month ago. I wanted to try it out, and I liked it, but not quite as much as stock. Today, I tried to flash the stock ATT rom onto the phone. Went through all of the correct steps, factory data reset, cache wipe, went through odin with everything the same as when I flashed CM10. Waited about 10 mins, odin says pass, my phone reboots, goes through the galaxy s3 logo, att logo, then gets stuck at the next samsung logo. I can load it into recovery, and download, so I know this can be fixed, but without a backup, how might I do this?
Recovery > factory reset.
Its a common problem for I think the newer s3s.

Its all of them. Not just newer.
I took my stock GSIII and rooted and installed hyperdrive, but texting was really awful, and battery was bad so I proceeded to reinstall. Didn't work. So I flashed one of the rooted stock firmwares from the root no tripping flash counter thread. Now its worse. i cant get in to the app drawer it always just says that android.core or something like that has stopped and proceeds to kick me out. At this point I am done and just want to have rooted stock then use triangle away and then flash pure stock and end up with a good warranty, pure stock phone, any help?
Did you wipe your cache/data factory reset every time you flashed?

Yeah...
repeat the process: wipe data and cache in recovery then boot into download mode. flash the correct stock firmware via odin with "auto reboot" unchecked. when you get a "pass", pull the battery. reinsert the battery and immediately press the recovery button combo. once in, wipe data and cache again. reboot. report back.
OMG I SOFT BRICKED IT. It is stuck on Samsung galaxy LOGO. I tired restoring stock ROM but it didnt work. PLEASE HELP!!
I CAN ENTER RECOVERY MENU!!!
Firstly, calm down.
Second, upload a rom onto your external sd card and flash it from your recovery.

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

Yea. After I flashed threw Odin but I was still stuck in a boot loop. Factory reset fixed it.
Okay so i bought a samsung Galaxy note 2 on craigslist(not a good idea) and what the seller told me is that it was unlocked. well i got the phone and put my Tmobile sim card and it worked. i tried to do a system update which i kept getting a reminder for and my phone is now stuck on the opening samsung galaxy note 2 sign. well i took it to the cell phone repair places we have around here and none of them could fix it. apparently the guy rooted the phone to unlock it but the phone doesnt have a custom recovery. it can boot to download mode but thats about it. if anyone knows how to fix this i would greatly appreciate your help.
Not bricked. ..
Boot to recovery using the 3 button combination and factory reset the phone. ..then reboot. .
If the device sticks on the splash screen again. ..you'll need to push a new image via Odin. .
But the phone is far from bricked. ..it's just mad...g

Is the phone stolen? Might have been SIM locked.
I would try flashing a stock ROM onto it via Odin. If that fails you probably bought a HOT phone. Or it has hardware damage.
Sent from my SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
It was unlocked when I got it... it had a custom rom on it and when I tried to do the update it made the phone do what's it doing now.. so what option am I left with? I already tried stock rom and nothing :/

So you have flashed a custom recovery? I can see that you said it did not have a custom recovery on it (but had a custom ROM?). If you haven't flashed the recovery and have not followed the flash to stock instructions (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2275844), then do so (be as specific as possible on the steps you've taken since it seems you might be a beginner at this by trying to update OTA a rooted device).
happened to me too. pull the battery. hold vol up and power and home and then insert battery. Keep holding till the 2nd time it reboots and you see the logo then let go of the buttons. This should put you into recovery. Wipe cache and wipe phone then reboot.
This worked for me, hope it works for you.
Trying to get into recovery mode doesn't work... I am a begginer at this. I tried pulling the battery out and doing the up home and power combo but that does not work.
