[Q] Not Booting after wipe data. :'-( - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

I recently brought a tmobile unlocked, Samsung galaxy s3, T999.
I tried to upgrade firmware with samsung keis, but it stucked at 0.
Then I tried, Emergency Firmware Recovery, it also got stuck.
I rooted it and applied a custom rom, CyanogenMod
Then i wasnt able to turn on wifi, SIM not detected, etc.
Then I wiped all data, reset the phone.
Now it doesnt goto the home screen, stuck at loading(with that google 4 colord dots).
I can ONLY access, Recovery Mode and DOwnload mode properly.
Even my laptop doesnt detect the phone. Micro SD card also not detected by phone.
As you can see, i acted like a total idiotic, and also I know nothing about android. I was doing those by googling. and watching tutes.
If you can advice me....would be a great help.
thanks

I would suggest going into download mode, and use Odin to flash a stock Rom.

Yes. You can find the stock Rom from sammobile.com
Just choose what version you want, then download and flash using Odin.

[Q] Phone stuck on Samsung boot after stock restore help?

Hey my samsung galaxy s3 was bricked when I tried installing a kernal for a jb rom and I restored it to stock in odin.
Right now its just stuck on the Samsung Boot logo and the blue led is shown but it wont boot up. What do i do?
Reflash. By chance, can you get into recovery?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
No, not at all. When i hold volume up + power + home it vibrates twice and turns off and does the same thing when I hold it which makes it turn on. I can get to download mode though

Ok so ive finished the installation of the CALH1 on odin but my phone is still on the boot logo. What do i do now?
Not lh1 here:
Flash this in odin: http://d-h.st/u2B <<< AT&T lg1
Thats the image i used to get back to stock with root. After that flashes the system will boot and say there is an update if you want the latest os then install rootkeeper from play store and run it that will preserve root. Once you run rootkeeper accept the update and that will get you to lh9 the latest os.

No, not yet i cant really get into clockwork recovery at all if you read my post above. I got into this whole mess by flashing a kernal on a jb rom whe i was rooted and i probably shouldnt have because it bricked my phone. But ive done almost everthing above and now im willing to do anything to get my phone back up and running. Will flashing the kernal for it fix it?
Yes, if you can find a way to enter download mode flash a stock rooted kernel and a stock ROM. You may need a jig to enter download mode

I can enter download mode without a problem all i need is the kernal you said which would possibly fix my phone.
The lg1 update i gave you has the boot.img (kernel) with it. It is everything, boot.img, system, modem, etc. Sounds bad but are you sure you are using odin correctly ?

Yes I think so, i run odin with administator tick auto reboot and F. Reset time click PDA and located the root69.stock_ATT_I747UCALG1.tar (the old boot img you gave me) and connect my phone while it is in downloading mode and press start. Is that right?

Can you even do that on a bricked phone? Is there a program I can do it through? I can't load my clockwork recovery at all.
Did you try the toolkit?
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
Hope this helps. I had a similar issue once where the phone gets stuck at the Samsung logo. What I did was booted into stock recovery and did a wipe cache and wipe data. The phone booted up successfully after that.
U can also flash CMW through ODIN and do all the wipes (dalvik,cache and data) and I'm pretty sure ur phone will boot up.

[Q] Unable to update (Bell)

So it seems I've gotten myself stuck in a loop.
I have CWM, and a stock rom w/ Root. I haven't even uninstalled the bloatware, I only wanted it to pair to a PS3 controller via bluetooth.
It seems that on Saturday night, my USB micro port stopped working on the phone. There was a point it wouldn't even charge, but I got that working. I'm not sure if it's lint in the port or what, but my attempts to clean it have failed.
Because of this, I'm unable to use odin or kies to flash the phone, and the OTA update keeps failing with CWM installed. My question is, is there a way to flash the stock bootloader using the terminal (much like how I installed CWM, using recovery.img), so I can then install the OTA update, or another stock update, and possibly take my phone in for warranty? I don't even care about rooting it again.
The counter is at 0 BTW.
So I can't use the OTA update, because of CWM, but I can't remove CWM because the USB port is toast, but I can't get it warrantied because it's rooted w/ CWM. This is on a blue 32GB Bell phone.
Thanks,
LDS

He can download the update on his phone and extract it with Root Explorer or something else. And I'm assuming that you know what is Mobile ODIN.

I googled mobile ODIN - It's ODIN on the phone. I can upload the update using an FTP app, so I'm going to give it a try. Which frankly, is better than anything I've come up with.

You're my hero. This worked. It flashed away CWM, and I managed to get JB. I forgot to uncheck maintain root, but since I have the stock JB now, I could really care less at this point about my USB (as long as it continues to charge)

[Q] HELP, I Soft Bricked my SIII (I747M)

Hey guys i'm new to the forums and looking for some help.
I've rooted my S3 succesfully and installed CWM as well as flashed the updates for it, but after flashing the CM 10.1 ROM i cant't seem to get passed the CM logo, the screen just stays black. I've been looking through the forums and managed to find some stock ROMs but for some reason Odin(3.0.7) keeps giving me a fail message every time I try to do it.
Please help me I would just like to start from scratch and give it another go, is there any sort of guide to just reset everything either using Odin or from recovery?
Thanks

I've tried flashing a few stock roms and they all fail using odin, am I doing something wrong? And i can't flash from recovery because ic ant access internal storage while its stuck at logo.
To use Odin:
Usb in the back of computer (#1 on a laptop)
Reboot computer
Phone in download mode (volume down+ home+ power)
Run Odin as administrator
Use a known good cable
After flashing back to stock, when you get hung up on boot:
Pull battery, wait 2 minutes, reinsert
Boot into recovery with button combo, factory reset, reboot.

Are they in the .tar format ? You can't flash .zip ones in Odin. You can get them from the no tripping flash counter root method

I've restarted and ran as admin, tried multiple ports and still getting the fail message when I click start on Odin with my md5 file under the PDA slot, could it be a bad file?
And you have to extract the file one time after downloaded.
Maybe try using Odin v1.85?

Bricked?

Hello, so today i was getting a play market error so i decided to flash another recovery, as mine is the earliest versions of TWRP, so i went ahead and flashed it with Odin. It was successful, but wouldn't boot into recovery. So i went ahead and tried to flash another recovery and now it says NAND write fail. Is it bricked ?
It still boots to 4.2.2 AOSP, but i have no root so can't flash recovery.
I AM OFFICIALLY SCREWED !
After getting out of download mode, it wouldnt boot anymore. Firmware upgrade issue. !
I would say buy a usb jig from eBay. Much faster and cheaper than anything else. It forces the phone to go to download mode and from then you can go to Odin and flash stock.

if you can get into d/l mode, you have it whipped.
Here's the TWRP 2.5.0.2 file:
https://hotfile.com/dl/230303459/7ce1553/openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.2-jfltexx.tar.html
Install with ODIN.
Steps to follow........
Method #1 -
Place file in PDA box*
Uncheck all other boxes.
Press start.
When installation is complete, unplug usb cord and pull the battery.
Insert the battery but Don't turn on the phone.
Place phone in Recovery mode via the Power + Volume up buttons.
Method #2 -
The other way I've read to install TWRP Recovery is:
Place the TWRP 2.5.0.2 tar in the PDA box*
Check the auto reboot box and f time reset box.
Start the installation and let the phone reboot.
I believe Method #2 is the method of choice, but sometimes the Recovery doesn't take, so Method #1is recommended.
Here is an explanation why:

Not a pro but when you flashed a custom rom,how long did you wait for it too boot up.I was just flashing today and some roms would take up more than 5minutes to boot up.I would pull out the battery for 1 minute and fire it up.

it would be easier to help if we knew the following:
1. what firmware were you running before you tried the odin flash?
2. what stock firmware did you try to flash with odin?
3. what custom rom did you flash?
Yeah I know the first boot take longer, but I would let it sit for 10 minutes or more. I had to disconnect the battery everytime.

make sure you are using the latest cwm or twrp recovery.
It would be most helpful if you could give us a little more data?
when you say stuck in boot mode, what do you see?
Im currently stuck in a boot loop, past 20 minutes, and all I see is T-Mobile 4gLTE on the screen with a carat advancing through the T-Mobile. I tried to upgrade from Omni ROM to the latest Stock ROM. I've tried to flash down and get failures on flash with Odin 3.09 (Which I used to flash the phone)
Any help here would be awesome!
