Hello,
Yesterday, I finally decided to take the leap and root my galaxy S3 in order to flash the AOKP ROM. Everything went smoothly, except the camera did not work in AOKP, so I decided to revert back to the stock Rogers ROM I had downloaded earlier, just in case. I flashed it through Odin and had no errors, however, during reboot, my phone got stuck on the samsung logo.
I still have access to download mode and recovery, but I have no idea what to do at this point, so I would like to have your help
Thank you in advance
EDIT: Nevermind, got it working.

Glad you got it working, but for future reference, make a backup! That way you won't have to restore through ODIN each time.

Hi everyone, first post on the forums. Anyway I recently rooted my Galaxy S3 and installed CM9 but now I want to go back to the Nature UX either rooted or not rooted. I tried to unroot by using Odin with the stock samsung firmware but that ended in a soft brick where my phone was stuck on the samsung logo. I was able to boot in recovery and download modes so I decided to revert back to CM9 while I figure out how to go back to stock. I'll be very grateful for any help, thanks in advance!

Follow this. Also don't use Samsung's usb came get a nice BlackBerry one.
Snt from Pluto.
I followed the video exactly but my device is stuck on the glowing samsung boot screen right now. It won't boot apparently. Any ideas?
Edit: I went ahead and did a factory reset so now it seems to be working fine! Thanks again!
Hey Guys,
I was on a custom rom before but decided to go back to stock. So I decided to follow another post under this forum about using Samsung Kies to get me back to stock, According to KIES everything went well but now when my phone tries to boot, it just hangs on the samsung Logo.
Im waiting on hotfile to download my stock Rogers Image and use Odin to flash the image but is there anything else I can do? am I on the right track?
or did I just brick my phone some how.
Thanks

How long phone hangs on samsung logo, did you try to restart in stock 3e recovery and clear data, did you try to remove sim and sd cards and try to restore again ???
Hey, Im doing the steps you stated in the other thread, I installed the troubleshooting connection driver, removed SD Card and Sim card and now its doing its recovery through Kies.
When I did this last, it was about 5 minutes it was hanging for but I will see how long it hangs for now.
and no didnt think of restarting in stock recovery and clear data, will try that too.
guess I should of tried those too. sorry just panicked I might of messed up my phone lol
omg thank you so much!!!! i had to go to stock recovery and clear data and then it looks like its fine now. Im at the welcome page.
I was messing with my Gs2, trying out some new roms (it has been rooted and custom flashed since i got the phone a while ago) and ended up with a soft brick getting stuck at the Samsung screen during boot. No big deal I though (since this is my backup phone I didnt worry about it) and planned on flashing back to stock with Odin and starting over. I flashed the stock 4.1 via odin and it all seemed to go fine, but when it rebooted it got stuck at the same samsung screen. I left it there for like 20 minutes and it never booted. I then downloaded the stock 4.0 and same thing. I am about to try going back in time to the stock 2.3 and see if i can work my way forward from that, but if it doesnt work, what is the cause of the phone not being able to boot after all these stock flashes?

Im stuck in the same boat with my S4
which ODIN version are you using and are you using the links from SAMMOBILE to get the firmware you need ? also what are your methods of procedure and is odin giving out any errors or saying pass and still no boot ?
So, i have a Samsung Galaxy S III i747... Flashed it with CyanogenMod, and saw horrible battery life, and the phone stayed hot... Flashed back to an older version of CyanogenMod, and it was just unstable and a mess, so i formatted everything from recovery, and installed the stock ROM via Odin... Stock ROM worked, but i wanted back to Cyanogen, so i rooted the phone, downloaded the ROM manager, downloaded the ROM, and installed it... And it failed. So, i figured i'd hit the NAND Erase All button in Odin, and then repartition the phone, thinking the buttons wouldn't blow up the world... Now i'm stuck at the Samsung logo at boot. I've tried several different versions of the stock ROM, i can still get into recovery, and i can still get into download mode, but it always get stuck at the Samsung Logo after the AT&T carrier video.
Anyone have any ideas? I'm really hoping i didn't brick my phone... Odin sees it, and everything still works, i just can't boot the stock ROM, which means i can't get anywhere else.
try a factory reset in recovery after flashing rom

I Odin'd to stock a couple days ago and was at the Samsung Logo for a WHILE (over and hour). It did just go eventually.
Not sure what did it... Got a PIT file, and then did the NAND Erase All bit again when i installed the stock ROM again. Wiped data as soon as install finished, and it booted right up. I'm happy again
Now if i can just figure out the LTE glitch...
So, at the risk of posting too much info (instead of not enough) I'm going to start at the beginning:
I rooted my wife's S3 and loaded TWRP and Paranoid Android. It ran fine, but there was a camera issue, so she wanted me to restore it to the stock ROM. I did this (to 4.1, I believe, whatever was out in August). Again, it ran fine and I was planning to restore the root access, but did not.
Later, it was dropped in Hibachi sauce (not sure this is relevant, but in case) and we put it immediately in rice. It worked fine, other than the touch screen intermittently ceasing to receive touch commands.
When the updated ROM came from Samsung, my wife installed the update and the phone continued to work fine, other than the screen issue.
She was tired of the issue and decided to sell it to buy an iPhone (shudder) so she did a factory reset. This is where the issues began (I included the previous steps as I'm not sure which may have caused the current issue).
Upon the factory reset, the phone would only boot to the beginning of the AT&T logo loading. I thought it may be something she could fix through Kies and suggested she try that, so she did. The phone would then boot to a screen in Odin mode that says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." We did this and there was no help.
I can get it to boot into recovery (the default one now) and have tried to reflash that and the stock ROM that I did previously and only can get two actions: either the freeze at the AT&T logo (if I use Odin to flash the ROM) or the above message in Odin mode (after trying to fix from Kies).
I'm not sure what to do at this point and would appreciate any and all help you guys can provide. I've lurked around and learned quite a bit to flash my ROM and my wife's from you guys, so I'm really hoping I can learn more from this.
Thanks in advance!

So is it stuck on the AT&T Logo? Or Samsung Logo?

It was the AT&T logo, it's currently the Odin. If I flash it again with the stock ROM, it'll be the AT&T logo again, but it doesn't completely load the AT&T logo. The Samsung one loads and then the AT&T starts to load, but doesn't finish playing.
Anyone?
Yes, Odin to stock unrooted, then go ahead and factory reset by holding volume up + home button on first boot. Done.

If this works (I'll try it when I get home) I will be so grateful! BTW, do you happen to have a decent link to a stock ROM? If not, I'll Google it tonight.
