Tmobile T989 Wont stay in recovery

I flashed the darkside rom and then went back to stock. Now flashed Infamoust989.02 and when I boot into recovery the phone reboots 2 seconds after CWM is on the screen. Any ideas?

the translation is this is the wrong place to ask your questions. if u look carefully this is development section and you don't post your questions here. thats why u get no answer
Looks like we need a noob sticky..

Just download the drivers for windows and the md5 for the flash. Or you can try to reflash the cwn with Odin. Try using a tar it md5 file from the t989 sts. Our just look for the thread to go back to stock otherwise try to find the root the phone thread and try reflashing cwm for Odin.

unroot?

I want to take the phone back but I have to unroot. I looked and cant find any info. Can any one direct me to the right place?
Thanks!
Cant you just unroot from the root app itself? I think ive read that around here before. Look under the settings in superuser. If that doesnt work, just download the stock rom from samsung-updates and flash with odin.

Flash stock unrooted ROM? Using Odin
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
still no ROM or ZIP that I can find.
Did you look? Maybe 5 threads below this is a cwm flashable, and there are Odin files floating around. Use the search feature man.

Restore to factory without computer

I am in a bit of a dilemma. my Galaxy s3 will not connect to any computer VIA USB. and i am currently rooted and on a custom rom (Jellybean)
Is there a way to return to at least the stock ROM (if I have to keep root, that is a risk I am willing to take) or am I screwed?
Any and all help is welcome and appreciated.
Try mobile Odin.. I've used it once, you can restore to factory without the need of a computer

Bricked when updating to FL24....help

I used to zip file from the sticky thread.
Re-named to Update
Put on SD card
Booted into recovery
Ran and now all I get is the Galaxy SII screen.
I have done this a couple times before without any problems.
Anything I can do? If so give me some reading or instructions!
Thanks for the help.
You're not actually bricked. You've just soft bricked. Flash something via Odin and you'll be back up and running.

Yes find a one click odin and download to pc.
Clear cache and data in recovery also helps.

As Mattix724 said PC Odin a one-click. Try this http://www.sxtpdevelopers.com/showthread.php?t=116 Directions are simple and explicit

just calrification.. technically a soft brick is still a form of a brick.. the op just didnt state which it was but correct.. if you can still get to the splash screen then its a soft brick.. not a hard brick..

Thanks all, I ended up using the FI27 One Click from Sextape, then I instantly received the OTA from Sprint (which was kind of lol).
Worked like a charm.
Still had to wipe all my user data because I was getting force closes, but on the positive side my battery life has been amazing.

4.3 boot error

I have searched here and on the net and can't find an answer. I have flashed all 4.3 ROMs and they boot fine. But if I restart or power down the device it will not boot again. I have to format internal memory and reflash a TouchWiz ROM to get the device to boot back up. Any ideas as to why this is happening?

You must have missed the giant sticky during your search that says "ALL Questions go in the Q&A Section."

Ha sorry about that. I guess I did miss it.
