Hey all need help bad and fast. So yesterday I attempted to flash my phone back to stock so I can do the new firmware update as I'm in Canada with Telus. Everything seemed to be working fine and ODIN flashed the rom just fine, but my phone since then has been stuck at the SAMSUNG screen with glowing font after the boot animation, I made an attempt last night and it stayed on that screen all night, now at work I've flashed the latest rom from the "[Guide] Installing LH1 OTA for Canadian S3" but it's the same thing, I'm not sure what's going on or how I should restore it as the options I use in the toolkit and odin seem to just get me to this screen and stop there. Please help guy I need it.

if you flashed a custom kernel you may need to flash your stock kernel if you want the stock rom to run properly. whend you flashed your stock rom did you perform a full wipe (format data/ factory reset, wipe dalvik, format system, format cache) ?
also, are you sure you have the proper stock kernel for your device?

Have you tried to go into twrp recovery and do a "factory reset" then reboot the phone
a couple times and see if the problem persist?
If it does then you will need to Odin flash the stock M919 Tmobile Jellybean Touchwiz 4.2.2 firmware.
(did you flash a AOSP/AOKP/CM10 rom prior to having this problem?)
good luck!

I'm also having the same problem. I flashed a euroskank ROM, it runs fine. But I want to return to stock ROM. When I flash it, I see an "error restoring /data" ... when I reboot, all I see is the Samsung screen and it stays there. Help!! lol :crying: I don't have another backup of my stock ROM! I'm afraid I'll need to find it somewhere and flash it to the external SD card with ODIN.
I recently rooted my AT&T Samsung Galaxy S3 running Android 4.3 using odin. I loved the features, I flashed the ROM CyanogenMod and had that working just fine. Until just recently I made the mistake of installing a new ROM. I used ROM manager and decided to go with stratatak7 . Now after doing this, my phone has been downgraded from 4.3 to 4.1.1 and is not running properly and crashes. So I went back into ROM manager and tried to get CyanogenMod back, but am unable too, every time I try to install I get an error. I am looking for ANY way to fix this. I mainly want to get my phone back to COMPLETE factory settings and Android 4.3. Im currently running Build Number Intergalactic 2.5.
PLEASE HELP!!!

Step #1 - Dont use ROM manger to install roms.
Step #2 - Flash back to stock and start over. If you need help with this there are stickies all over the general and q&a sub forums.

All by itself? Or did you manage to flash back to stock? If so the fix is to boot into recovery and factory reset. Also note it will take a little longer to boot after a stock flash (or wiping the cache) as the cache needs to be rebuilt.
my phone got a bit slow one day so i reset it and now all image based apps don't load some say cache dir not found/created. when i try to download something through a third part app it says download error. I'm on the att ota update for 4.4. ive tried resetting the phone multiple times but it doesn't help. so i rooted and i'm on a custom rom with everything working fine but roms are buggy. can you please tell me how to fix this problem so i can go back to stock frimware. tks
Did you factory reset with stock recovery installed or a custom one?

Hi, When I got my Note 4 it had stock lollipop. I was happy with it and it had great battery life but I wanted xposed so I found a tutorial for sprint note 4 lollipop. after i flashed xposed my phone got stuck in a boot loop and i didn't have a backup. i tried to Odin back to stock but that kept failing, i gave up and flashed noterized rom through TWRP. now i want to got back to stock or at least get a different rom (maybe Vision or hybrid i tried both) but i tried flashing a couple of different rom but they never work, my phone just keeps rebooting (goes to "Samsung galaxy note 4 powered by android" screen and then restarts i tried waiting 30 mins but no luck) however i am able to flash an AOSP rom but i don't like them i really like TW. what can i do to restore to stock, downgrade to 4.4.4, or flash vision rom?
for battery life i tried restarting, factory restore, clearing cache and dalvic cache, and formatting everything and re-flashing the rom but nothing seems to work.
if you have any question or need more information please ask. any help is appreciated

Youre stuck on Noterized. Enjoy.
No way out? What if somone gives me their back up?
I was stuck i tried different stock tar files from different sources. Finally found one that work the other tar files kept failing in odin. Your not stuck just go online and find the solution yourself . If it's not affecting anybody else they careless if you fix it man and that's with life too just sayin . Good help hard to come by nowadays
Might wanna go through the Q&As and rethink your post. As to avoid contradicting your post all together, could you at least provide a link to the file that got you unstuck to help in the first place.
I pm'ed the guy already
So what did you flash to get back to stock??....HmmmHmmm

so what I did was root using odin installed twrp from the playstore and flashed the twrp recovery from the app. once I had recovery I flashed a stock rom from the forum in twrp. that booted up fine then I hooked my phone into the pc and open kies to see if it reconized my phone and it did so I hit the tools tab at the top of the program and clicked on firmware upgrade and initialization and it stared updating my phone back before the oel update

I have a update I flashed off of stock and went back then flashed cm12 and the method I used earlier didn't work I was stuck for 2 hours. I flashed a tw rom in twrp when it finished installing I pulled the battery and flashed the modem from bob firmware and bootloader before I restarted the phone I found a bootloader and modem from bob firmware on the forum flashed both and both failed but from what I cant tell it installed enough for the phone to reboot on back on tw and from there I used kies to get back on stock 2nd time bringing it back very long process just finding the right solution

I personally havent been on OE1. A few people who havent been plagued by this horrible and unnecessary update have been trying to help those who have and are. The guy i mentioned at the bottom(of the post you quoted), those were his steps. But it seems some of the information has changed since that post. Look above this post and he explains the differences whether on TW or non TW rom.
One thing Samsung is telling us though through their actions, if theyre pushing out updates and its not over a GB, i wouldnt take it, or I'd at least wait until seeing the ramifications of the update through other users taking it, which there will always be.
