Can't boot into any recovery - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

Here is the issue.
I am successfully rooted and have been for a while. For some reason today I try to boot into recovery, then Samsung logo appears, then cwm logo appears, and then it's a gray screen with a little green android and it loads about a quarter of the way and then reboots the system. Right now i'm running the latest Samsung boot loader and I have tried to fix this by re-installing CWM and Installing also TWRP I can't get either to fully load up.
Is it bricked?

Not sure what the issue was. Maybe the latest verisons didnt agree with my gear. I fixed the issue by downloading the windows cyanogen mod installer and was able to restore the system to cyanogenmod 4.4.2

Stuck on Google Screen after JB Update

Hi,
I've attempted the JB update
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1737899..
fastboot flash boot boot.img etc.. which said all was well..
But now find that my phone will not boot up, doesn't get past the Google and unlock screen.
I've tried all combinations of volume buttons, I can get to the fasboot menu where I can choose either Recovery Mode, Power Off, Start or Restart bootloader.
None of these appear to do anything, recovery goes to the google a screen followed by an Android on it's back with an exclamation mark over it.. then goes to the Google and unlocked icon screen and stays there...
I fear my phone is bricked... Please help..

1.) Your phone is far from bricked at all. You have access to the boot loader (i.e. the screen with the options). The recovery you're seeing is stock recovery. All you need to do is go into boot loader and fastboot flash recovername (CWM) and you will have your custom recovery back to wipe data and reinstall a rom or restore a nandroid backup
Mine is doing the same thing, weird thing is, it was working since yesterday on jellybean, it just randomly froze this morning and and now won't boot..
im currently at work so i don't have admin rights to do a fastboot flash..
any idea why it would randomly stop working when i havn't flashed anything on it besides the jb rom?
Sorted..
Thanks for the comments.. yeah i was over-reacting a bit there..
I downloaded the Galaxy Nexus Toolkit, got a stock rom form gopogle, flashed it.. back to normal, well, it will be after i restore the CWM backup i took.. phew..
Thanks again
Ian.
Still stuck
I'm also stuck in the same situation(google with the unlock screen). I fear I'm a little more stuck. I also can see the recovery/restartbootloader screen. However, everything I try still comes back to that same google screen and gets hung up. Need some help!
this has happened twice today and i think it from using volume+

If you still have a rom installed and it will not fully boot up normally
then simply go into cwm or twrp recovery and do a "factory reset",
after that it should boot normally without any further booting issues.
Since this will be the first normal boot, be sure to give it 3-4 minutes.
Have patience.
Good luck!

Stuck on CM restart screen

Hi all,
I just rooted my G Pad on 4.2.2 and installed CWM 6.0.5.1, and then flashed the latest CM12 from their website. Now I'm stuck on the blue android loading screen. I've tried to get back into recovery, but I can't seem to boot into it with the key presses. It will show me the factory reset screen and then just tries to restart again. Any ideas on how to proceed from here?
EDIT: Was able to get into download mode and reflash stock 4.2. nothing to see here

[Q] Elusive Cyanogenmod Recovery Boot Logo

The setup: Galaxy S3 (d2att SGH-I747) running Slim Kat 4.4.4. Bootloader is I747UCUFNJ1 and the recovery is TWRP v2.8.6.0. The phone already rooted with a custom ROM on it. At one point in the past, somebody had tried to install CyanogenMod, but I don't know what they did.
The issue: When I boot my phone, if flashes a "Samsung" logo briefly, then the SlimKat logo, then the SlimKat boot animation in that order. But, when I boot the phone into recovery, it flashes the "Samsung" logo, then a logo that says "Samsung Galaxy SIII" with the cyanogen guy logo below it, then the TWRP splash screen. I am not running Cyanogenmod and am wondering why the second logo appears and how to get rid of it. This has not affect on the performance of the phone, but is something I would like to figure out to better understand how the phone works. Before you tell me to Google this, I have spent countless hours researching this issue and have found only one thread on another forum that mentions this problem with no replies. I cannot find anything about boot logos for recovery, how they get there, how they are changed, where they reside. Keep in mind, I am NOT talking about the system logo or the system boot animation.
What I have tried: When I got the phone, it was on MJB bootloader and have have since upgraded it using Odin and instructions/files from enewman17 and postings on this site. I have flashed his stock rooted ROMS (both MJB and NJ1). I have installed several custom Roms (Cyanogen, SlimKat, Stock_rooted), several recoveries using both the app and Odin (CWM, TWRP, and philz_touch), and at least one Kernel (Majestic 1.0.9). This boot logo remains. The only success I had in getting it to disappear was by flashing progressively older TWRPs and it took back until 2.5.0.0 before it dissapeared. TWRP 2.5.0.0 doesn't even use a logo, so it was probably still there, just not used. The phone works great with everything I have done, it is just this logo that remains.
Any thoughts or suggestions?
Here is what I believe you are encountering. If I am not mistaken Slimroms uses pretty much the stock CM kernel but they have replaced the splash screen to be of Slimroms design. However when you boot into recovery I'm guessing there is a different splash screen that is accessed which is still what cyanogenmod put in the kernel.
Could be wrong but I believe that is the case.
Possibly, but I think I have ruled that scenario out. I have flashed a different kernel and a stock ROM but the CM recovery boot logo remains.
