So I decided to flash my phone back to stock, and start the process of rooting it over again. Anyway, I downloaded stock firmware from here and flashed using Odin 3.07
Now, the phone gets past the samsung boot screen, and hangs after the ATT boot animation.
I've performed a factory reset, and I've wiped the cache. I've also tried two different kinds of firmware.
Any suggestions?

EDIT: After about 5 attempts, I eventually found this one click firmware flash, and it worked.

So i tried flashing back to stock from PA 3.99 RC2 via odin this morning and am now stuck in a bootloop at the samsung logo. I flashed LK4 via odin, Odin said the flash was a success and the device rebooted but won't go past the samsung logo. I'm capable to get into download mode but not into the stock recovery. I have tried flashing LK4 3 times and each time i get the same issue. My GS3 is from rogers.
UPDATE: Managed to final get into stock 3e recovery, from there did a wipe date/factory reset and phone booted up just fine. Sorry for this post, if mods feel the need to delete it go ahead.
Help. I think I bricked my phone. I was running S3Rx 3.0 with JB4.3 on my T999 GS3. I attempted to update the rom to its latest version 3-20-14. I made a nandroid backup. I wiped cache and dalvik and then tried to install the zip file in TWRP, but it said install failed. I tried again with same failed results. I then did a factory reset, wipe cache, dalvik, data and system. I tried to flash the zip file and it failed again. So giving up on the failed update, I then restored my nandroid backup. After the restore was complete, I rebooted the phone and it got stuck at bootup with the Samsung logo and the blue LED light. I let it sit for over 15 minutes and it was still stuck there. I powered off the phone and went back into TWRP recovery and repeated the restore and reboot again, and it was stuck at that same part for over 15 minutes. Should it take that long? I've done backups and restores in the past and I don't recall it having take that long to bootup.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Please let me know if you need more explanation. Thanks in advance.
Try using odin to update the recovery system and flashing a rom.

It's been a long while since I used odin. I want to get the steps right before I risk further damaging my phone. Should I download odin and latest TWRP tar file to my pc. Put my phone into download mode and go thru the odin process...run as admin, placing tar file in pda... Then do I reboot into recovery mode? From there I'm not sure what to do. How do I flash a rom to my phone? Do or can I download a zip file via odin? One other option I thought of is to odin root66. So am I actually downloading 2 files via odin? Sorry for my confusion.
Ok, so I odined root66. My phone initially booted up to stock, but I got a pop up "unfortunately system ui has stopped". I went to recovery mode to do a factory reset. It took me to android system recovery. Apparently i lost my TWRP recovery. I did a factory reset and rebooted. Hallelujah!! my phone booted up into stock successfully. Whew...
Cool.
Sorry I couldnt respond earlier, I just woke up.
I always keep copies of odin flashable packages for the latest cwm and twrp recoveries just in case some craziness happens.
Ive had a similar issue when dualbooting. Recovery seemed to work 100% but one bad flash sent me into a bootloop I couldnt get out of. Booting to recovery just tried booting my corrupt 2nd rom and I had to odin cwm on to stop the boot script from locking me out of recovery.

All part of the hazards of tinkering with the phone. It goes with the territory. But as long as I can get into download or recovery mode I believe there's always a fighting chance.
Separately I reinstalled TWRP via odin. Next will be to reflash the custom rom.
Hello all i have bricked my Samsung Galaxy tab 3
I have tried rooting but it ended up giving me a boot loop
Nothing has worked, I have tried flashing a stock ROM, it was unsuccessful, i have tried a rooted ROM, it was successful though i was still stuck in a boot loop, so i flashed Philz recovery and that worked but it didn't clear anything.
I'm currently downloading another Stock ROM and I hope it works.
I also tried adb and that didnt work either.
How can I stock recover this device.

Have you tried using Odin to return to stock? don't forget to "uncheck" auto reboot. After flash completes, shut down, then restart.
Here's a thread for using Odin to return to stock
...and wipe/format system, data, cache etc before flashing
Which version? P5220(the LTE version) P5210(wifi only version) p5200 3g version
you can try out odin, flash everything including stock rom and recovery. Start everything all over.
Hi guys,
I was running DarkWolf rom and I decided to go back to my factory stock rom (N900TUVUFOL1_N900TTMBFOL1_N900TUVUFOL1_HOME.tar.md5). Did that with Odin and it passed successfully. Now it started to reboot, but is stuck on the white screen that says T-Mobile. I reflashed the stock rom again using Odin and it passed again but upon reboot I am stuck at the same place. Am I freaking out because the first boot up is suppose to be longer than 40 minutes or is there a problem? Can someone please help me out.

That tends to happen some when flashing a stock ROM for some reason. If the initial boot hangs after flashing stock with Odin, most of the time you can fix the issue by booting to recovery and performing a Wipe data/Factory reset and Wipe cache partition.
wow i just coming from there I forget for like 10 minutes me factory reset lol just boot into recovery and make factory reset, thats the first thing we must do factory reset, my cell is working fine + root and custom recovery ( TWRP) and still working perfectly fine, however I can send tar for u just in case
Hi, i'm having trouble flashing back to stock.
I've got the latest stock firmware from sammobile.
Using twrp to install it says missing META-INF as the firmware zip isn't made the same as custom firmware.
Adding the tar.md5 to ap in odin flashes the boot and recovery but goes extremely slow when it starts flashing system (left it 2 hours and it hadn't even got half way) I'm guessing that's not normal.
I took a backup with twrp before I started flashing in twrp which flashes fine but I get endless boot loop when trying to start it.
I've tried fastboot but it doesn't detect the tablet.
I've tried different usb ports, cables, different versions of odin and different stock firmware. I'm ready to throw it out the window.
One thing to note is the [P600][Touchwiz] Marshmallow Rom 20170622 works great but also boot loops when I turn it off and on again, I have to boot into twrp then choose reboot in there and then it boots ok, that doesn't work with my twrp backup though.
Anything I'm doing wrong?
Thanks.
Well for some reason after installing marshmallow rom again then installing my backup it boots fine, havn't a clue why it failed to boot the other 4 times.
Nope
Back to continuous boot loop after second reboot.
All I did was turned developer options off and it's boot looping again.
Flashed original stock boot.tar.md5 and recovery.tar.md5 then factory reset and wiped cache but still boot loops.
Is it because I flashed a Marshmallow custom rom so it so you can't downgrade to a lolipop rom even though it's stock? Boot loader changed? Kernel?

I'm not quite sure what your problem is but you should be able to downgrade, I've done it before.
Try this guide first. I've had success with it.
If all goes well you can then try to flash your stock ROM. The one I've flashed successfully in the past is the one in this post.
Good luck!
You may need to repartition your system. Tick the repartition in Odin. **All data will be lost**
