okay so when i power up my phone the system freezes at the modified boot logo. Normally this wouldnt be a problem because i could just flash a new rom from recovery and start it back up. But, i used odin to update clockwork. the phone wasn't able to reboot all of the way and got stuck in that loop, i think it messed up CWM somehow. Whenever i try to get into recovery the blue letters at the top left of the screen come on and then it just goes blank.
is there any way that i can get my phone back to normal using odin?
any suggestions?
Flash the firmware. Odin primary purpose.

Hi everyone,
Today I was flashing a kernel and my phone entered a boot loop at the Google screen. I tried to reboot into recovery to restore my nandroid backup, but the phone was stuck on the "Downloading" screen and the usual volume button options wouldn't work.
As I was still stuck in a bootloop I feared that I had bricked my phone, but after a couple hours I managed to get it to boot again by restoring a stock image using Odin.
So now my phone boots, but Odin/"Downloading" screen remains my only option when trying to access recovery. Please help!!

Are you sure you're booting the phone while pressing the volume up/down buttons at the same time. You can also try using adb to reboot into recovery

I tried to install CM10 on my GS3 and it stayed on the CM10 boot logo all night so I tried to revert to a nandroid backup, and it then stuck on the Samsung boot logo. When I was trying to flash full stock firmwrae with Odin, it froze on the cache part, and apparently CWM can't mount the cache. What am I doing wrong? Is there any hope for my phone?
Redownload you stock rom, it might be corrupted.
After the flash if it still gets stuck booting, go into recovery mode and factory refresh. Restart and it should work. Your phone is just soft bricked. Make sure you download the right rom for your phone.

Hey guys,
I seriously screwed up my Note (T889). I installed the latest nightly of cm10.1, but it got stuck in a boot loop. I pulled the battery and tried to boot into cwm, but it would only boot into download mode or the loop. I tried to use odin to flash cwm back onto the phone, which seemed to work (I could boot into cwm once). While in cwm I did a factory reset and then rebooted the phone. Now when I turn it on it sits on the screen that says Samsung Galaxy Note 2 for a while then goes black, nothing else. I can boot into download mode, but I can't boot into cwm or the stock recovery any more. I tried using odin to flash cwm again from download mode, but I still can't boot into anything else.
I really just want my phone to be usable again right now, so if anyone can help me out at all I would really really grateful, thanks!
I've read this thread which seemed similar, but unless I'm doing something wrong my problem seems to be slightly different: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2034323
Flash TWRP then flash a aosp kernel.
this is XXXDDDAAA
Thank you so much, it's back to stock now!
So I had an I747 with ATT running on SuperNexus (d2att Build 4), and I tried to flash to the latest ATT Lean Kernel. Cleared cache/dalvik, flashed, and rebooted. Phone would boot to the Samsung logo and shut down, whereas it used to load a Nexus boot animation afterwards (at least I think it shut down, the screen would be black and not do anything). I couldn't enter recovery at that point, and without a backup I just went ahead and flashed stock image with Odin without being able to reset to factory or clear the caches. Needless to say, I'm now unrooted with no custom recovery, and now the Samsung logo hangs after going through the animation, just glowing. I still can't get into recovery (it shows the initial Samsung screen saying it's going into recovery, but then reboots), but I can get into download mode. Not really sure what to do. I've got a job on the line, and I need to just get it in working order. I'd appreciate any help!
EDIT: Flashed TWRP with Odin successfully, can enter Recovery. Wiped cache/Dalvik and factory reset. Reboot. Phone goes through Samsung animation and ATT animation, and then hangs at glowing Samsung logo. Still don't know what to do.

Can you load a rom and kernel on a SD card and flash it ? Are you still unable to get into download mode ?
If you cant load a rom on an sd card then try download mode and just flash this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426
in odin. It will reroot you and you can go from there.
if you're able to use the above attached link to get your device up and going again (with root), you'll have to install a custom recovery again. not a big deal, just didnt want you to boot into recovery to flash something and find yourself in stock vs custom recovery. cheers!
I have had my s 3 for a while as has it also been rooted for a long period.
I recently had a bad rom flash which for some reason disabled me from booting into recovery or the rom. it would boot past the tmobile screen and get stuck on the flashing samsung screen. If i tried to boot the recovery it would say in blue letters booting recovery image on the top corner and then resume to boot the os which would always get stuck on flashing samsung logo. I can get into download mode and i flashed a stock rom from sammobile website along with the stock kernel and recovery and i can now get into recovery but the rom always gets stuck at the flashing samsung logo or whatever the custom roms splash animation is even on roms that are not stock. im hoping someone can shine some light on this because im afraid i have a shiny paperweight.
Go into recovery and do a factory reset, but just so you know, it will also wipe your internal sd
