Having trouble with today's freshly produced update. I'm on factory ROM, so there shouldn't be any trouble, but everytime i hit restart phone it goes into CM manager, I hit reboot and it just reboots with the update still uninstalled =\
I think you need stock recovery to get the update to install. I may be mistaken though.

how do i go to stock recovery? this update thing pops up every hour, it drives me nuts! (even after i hit 1-day).
Download Bloat Freezer from the market and use it to freeze Device Manager....... The notifications will stop.
Or go back to stock.....

ty for your help joemm! I only need to go back to stock recovery, not stock rom, my rom is literally as it was from the factory lol, I'll definitely give that 2nd link a try
I tried flashing and installing the gs4 touchwiz home but now it loaded up and now touchwiz has stooped and there is no home screen. I dont know how to get out of it.
Can I get out of it by flashing stock Odin? Where are those links

Flashing stock would definitely get you out of it.
Simple search for stock rooted Roms will give you what you need.

If stuck at the Samsung logo boot into recovery wipe cache dalvik and do a factory reset.

NP.
You lose custom recovery flashing those files. You retain root though so you can just reflash a recovery and than wipe if you didn't want to wipe through stock recovery.

Alright, im not completely new to rooting but I have encountered a new problem.
I rooted my phone through odin (galaxy s3 T999), had some hiccups with that so I ended up downloading the stock rom tar and reflashed using that, problem solved good to go still rooted. awesome.
So, I attempted to flash the cyanogen rom using clockwork mod. it wouldn't come past the load screen, went into clockwork mod to recover my backup but for some reason it wouldn't let me access the SD card to get it. next thought was to go back to odin and flash the same file I used previously to get back to where I was, for some reason this is not working, I can get to download, use odin to flash it, says success and all that, then upoon rebooting it stays at the Samsung loading screen.
So from there I went and downloaded the GS3 toolkit and tried all of their recovery files, all having the same issue. about 18 flashes later I tried reformatting from the phone itself, same issue with the samsung logo being stuck. And now, I am currently baffled, anyone wanna help me out? I have a feeling it has something to do with the .pit option on odin, but I am not that advanced and its just a hunch. so...thanks in advance guys!
So I understand not to touch pit, roger, reading other posts makes that clear, but still cant find a fix, the top right of my download says
ODIN MODE
Product Name SGH-T999
Custom Binary yes: 19 counts
Current Binary Samsung Offical
System Status Custom
Qualcomm secureboot Enable
Okay, what is the current state of the device?
Whst do you see when you boot into recovery ( take battery out of phone the put it back in and do the following: hold volume up, home button and power button, let go of all buttons when you feel the phone vibrate and blue text flashes in the upper left corner of the screen)?

I just tried to send a rom over that had CWM 6.0.2.3 and it installed that, but still stuck on logo. going into recovery I am in CWM 6.0.2.3
have the standard options wipe/factory, install from zip etc.
You flashed a rom that had cwm 6.0.2.3 or did you flash a rom while on 6.0.2.3?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I'd say about 98% of the time, when it hangs like that you just need to factory reset.

Flashed a rom that had 6.0.2.3. I do not have any roms on my ZIP, been doing everything through ODIN. Very confused as to why it suddenly stopped working.

tried to factory reset and it does the same logo stuck business. That was the last thing i tried after attempting to back up and reflash numerous times. tried flashing again recently, it will install CWM if it is attached to the rom but still gets stuck on the logo. tried re installing odin as well, it is working as usual, starts, restarts the phone, sits awhile, success. then i restart the phone and never get past logo.
I would do what Doc said.
If it still doesnt work, download a rom of your choice (in the t-999 section) and do a full wipe before flashing the rom you picked.

what do you mean by full wipe, factory reset? or something else?

When flashing a new rom, you have to do a full wipe or youll run into problems like you are currently having.
If you dont know what a full wipe is, then stop what you are doing and put your phone down. Just about every rom thread here on xda explains what a full wipe is, it will be in the first post of the thread.
Like I said, find a rom you like in the t-999 section and flash it after doing a full wipe.

Looked it up, that is what I do by default, didn't know thats what was considered a full wipe, just tried it with similar results, didn't know about the dalvik cache though. im on a work computer so I cannot currently DL a new rom from the site, I hope thats what the issue is, but I still cannot see why my other ones would suddenly not work.

I'm just not sure what you mean by it installing CWM attached to a Rom? Recoveries shouldn't be included with a Rom.
Odin flash the root66 firmware, then reboot to STOCK recovery and factory reset. This will wipe all user data, including your internal sd card. Then try rebooting again.

I was trying to root my phone using the samsung gs3 toolkit, but after running it I couldn't turn on my phone. Now, when I turn my phone on, all it does is go to the samsung screen for about a second and turn back off. I have tried factory reset, but that didnt work. I realize it is my fault, and all that other stuff they say before rooting a phone, but would someone please help me?
Did you try wiping partition and delvik cache in recovery? If that doesn't work can you access download mode via volume down + home + power...than flash firmware via odin.

I spent a while googling it, and fixed it. The odin way worked, but i never had the option for the delvik cache which is odd. Thanks for helping
Hi everyone, I just made a huge mistake on my phone, I was trying to restore a NAND backup and forgot to do a factory reset before I did that. Now my phone freezes at the samsung logo, and when I get into the cwm screen I cannot wipe data because it reboots whenever I try to do that. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks !

Follow this. http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2618447 .
I followed sections all sections 1 threw 3. At section 2 the link for the I317UCUBMK6-TZ-PARAM.zip did not work. I used this link instead.
http://www56.zippyshare.com/v/16559598/file.html
At section 3 don't be alarmed when it says it's downloading the update but it doesn't show percentages. It is downloading. In fact for me it automatically downloaded the 4.4.2 update instead of 4.3. It skipped it and went straight to kitkat. It took some time but I have Official KItkat 4.4.2.
Hit Thanks
