[Q] I Flashed the Wrong File, Now I Can't Get Past the Samsung Welcome Screen

HELP!!!! I have an SGH-i747 Samsung Galaxy S3 U.S.A. AT&T Model, and I messed up. But I don't think it's real bad, I just don't know how to fix it.
So basically, I rooted the phone a couple of days ago, and later installed ROM Manager ClockWork Mod Recovery. After a couple of days, I finally thought I would try flashing a ROM. I tried to install the ROM with CWM, but instead I accidentally flashed the file "gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip" which is for GingerBread. After the phone rebooted the "SAMSUNG" Logo came on, then the "Rethink Possible" AT&T Logo screen, then it comes to the "Welcome to SAMSUNG SGH-I747 Touch the android to begin." Screen. When I press the Android, the phone acts like it's going start the setup process, but then gives me an ERROR Message that says "Unfortunately, Setup Wizard has stopped." I don't know how to fix this, and haven't found any topics on it yet. Please Help! Thanks in advance.

Do you can reboot in CWM? If you do try to flsh correct GAPPS and see what happend or you can restore you phone usig ODIN or this metod : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1984717 . When you restore you may loose all of data and root in your phone.
Good luck.
Much appreciated guys, I got the S3 working again.

CWM Recover help

I have a serious problem. I have a Samsung Galaxy s II Tmobile for about a year now I have had it rooted since day one with not one problem with it. I mostly have had installed custom roms is all. I Just recently updated to CM10.1 nightlys with no trouble. I thought I would update the custom recovery since its been a while I went from 5.0.2.7 and updated to 6.0.2.8 and this is where everything went wrong. my phone went into a bootloop at first wouldn't load at all I went into recovery restored to a cm 10 which was working before which now is doing a boot loop. and i restored back to 2.3.5 rooted and that worked. but with some serious problems. I can't download anything like from the web or play store at all I keep getting this error code 492. I was thinking ok well I'll just put a fresh copy of cm10.1 back on the phone flashing it through recovery and nothing it froze. I played around with this new recovery and found out that I can't install anything through recovery can't fix permissions won't format won't wipe cache or factory reset and it won't even reboot the phone the only thing i got it to do was restore to 2.3.5. well I thought ok well I'll just start over again by unrooting the phone and start at square one again. no problem as the phone isn't bricked but when I hooked it to the computer now its not recognizing it. it comes up as unknown device which worked yesterday and never had a problem before i tried uninstalling drivers off my computer reinstalling them to no success. however I thought If I somehow get rom manager back on the phone i can reinstall 5.0.2.7 back on which i did come up with the idea to use kies air for that which did work. but I couldn't get back to 5.0.2.7 by doing that does anybody have any suggestions that can help me out my phone is working i can do everything that it is suppose to do make call connect to the mobile web, wifi but i want back on my custom rom can anybody help thanks

Bootloops After ODIN back to Stock Firmware

Hi guys,
I have the t-mobile s6 edge
After messing around with my device last night and this morning, I decided to go back to stock for a bit.
I have ODIN 3.10.6. I went into download mode on my phone. extracted the stock firmware from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6-edge/general/sm-g925f-s6-firmware-thread-t3078841
loaded the "G925TUVU1AOCG_G925TTMB1AOCG_G925TUVU1AOCG_HOME.tar.md5" file into the ap box for odin
connected my phone to computer, odin recognized it. hit start. ran successfully. rebooted, android guy came up briefly and said installing system update, then it changed to "Erasing..." then it rebooted again
now it's just bootloops forever after the tmobile screen. I can boot to recovery and it says installing system update each time I boot to recovery, but selecting reboot system there shows a no command error. force the phone to power off... power on again to bootloops.
tried to go into download mode again and reflash everything through odin, same issue!
I started last night by rooting using chainfire, then installing TWRPv2, then I flashed the 5.1.1 ROM available from @eousphoros (sorry for the tag, just thought you might want to be apprised of the issues in getting back to stock after using the 5.1.1 ROM).
with 5.1.1 loaded, smart switch didn't recognize the phone for a reset so I decided to go with the ODIN method and now i'm in bootloop city
any help would be greatly appreciated

You probably need to do a factory reset
In the future you should make a full backup before installing a rom

AHH!! Sorry to have made this post... here's what I did to get it actually boot:
reflahed the stock firmware through odin again, tried to reboot, it failed, obviously. rebooted to recovery, factory reset in recovery, power down option in recovery, then turned the phone on again and it magically worked!
hopefully this post will help someone who encountered the same issue

I had the same excat same thing happen when flashing this via Odin. I didnt need to Odin stock twice though . I just booted stock recovery and did a factory reset. After that I went ahead an powered down and rebooted . All good now
How long did you have to wait in the stock recovery to get past the "installing system update" screen? Mine just sits there and I'm unable to view other options in recovery.
EDIT for noobs (like me): wait 30 seconds on the "installing system update" screen.
I'm still stuck in boot loop
Im in the same exact situation , but I'm still stuck in boot loop. I followed your restore instructions and nothing. Please help.

Pp.
I initially used odin to flash OI1 update, after a rom I was using caused problems and I got bootloop. It changed bootloader value to b:3 and I'm unable to downgrade now so I used smart switch which didn't recognize device so used emergency recovery and still bootloop. I have factory reset and wipe cache multiple times along with adb side load and individual flashes of bootloader, modem, kernel, flashed custom kernel and twrp to access fix permissions and to mount partitions with advanced wipe etc and still wont boot past logo. Also during one fix attempt phone said can't mount system.. Idk I'm not understanding where the problem is .everything says successful but I'm still in bootloop. Please help. I've spent hours everyday for the past week searching & trying different things that seem might help so open to any suggestions.
Problem with Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini GT-I9195
Hi everyone
I'm new to the whole ROM flashing and using Odin. I had a bootloop problem and recovery mode showed all the options but has a green android man laying down with red icon above him and No Command below the android man. Tried the factory wipe and cache wipe but it gives some red writing with the word failed in the coding and the word error under the android man. Tried to flash a stock ROM from sammobile using Odin. Odin gives a pass but the same problems persist. Can someone please help?

i have bricked my note 2 i317 help

I had TWRP 2870
i was running cm 11 cough made
everything was fine for a few days then realized that i could only receive text messages and my lte was always dropping out. So I verified my APN setting with my wife's i317 and made all adjustments as needed but no help. so i just got fed up with it all and reinstalled from a backup that i made of stock 4.4.2 everything worked then last night my phone received an OTA from AT&T but because I had TWRP it would not install. I am assuming that it was the stage freight update so (all the trouble began) I used a back to stock recovery using a back to stock sticky that i found and it worked it took me all the way back to stock recovery and 4.1.2 I think and then after installing all necessary updates I went to about device and check for updates and it downloaded a update I don't remember the file size but under 500 megs. then it restarted and installed it then rebooted and it would not go past the samsung logo I have tried everything but a pit file or something like that the only thing i have access to is download mode. when I tried going back to stock 4.4.2 using odin3 v.1.85 and flashed I317-UCUCNE5-Stock.tar odin says all is good and I get very happy but the stupid phone wont boot it gets stuck at the same samgung logo for 30mins. help me. please! Im stuck using the captivate untill i get this fixed.
And you cannot boot into recovery using the 3 button combo ??
If yes ....wipe data...factory reset the device...and wipe the cache as well...g
Edit:
The Update will put the device to UCUCNJ1 official and will lock you into the Knox bootloader as well.
The only 4.1.2 reverts from this point forward cannot contain the bootloader image or softbrick will occur....g

galaxy note 2 gt n7100 says lost root access

Hi
my galaxy note 2 is stuck on the flashing SAMSUNG logo after recovering with TWRP, at the end of the recovery when everything is installed (data , files etc the phone gives me error message that "it seems root access lost and requests that I fix the issue. When I press enter on TWRP it reboots and gets to the Samsung logo and does not proceed. Initially I tried to flash a new ROM on the device and was no successful it was then I decided to recover to get to the previous system.
Do I have to flash the SuperUser again using Odin or is there another problem or missed something? I'm stuck and don't know how to get out of this predicament.
Your assistance in this regard will be much appreciated.
Thanks
Martin
Have you tried restoring with TWRP and, when prompted to root again, choosing no?
If you can't get out of the bootloop, you may be better off flashing back to stock with Odin and starting over.
