Good day fine community.
My Galaxy S3 i747M(Rogers) stays stuck @ Galaxy S3 screen after flashing this ROM S3Rx 3.0 TouchWiz 4.3 MJB (1-27-14) Full AROMA.
1. First succesfully flashed 4.3 bootloader and MK5 modem from within a 4.1 ROM
2. Then used TRWP, full wipe, formatted internal sd, flashed ROM and loaded well.
3. Then attempted a Nandroid, which for some reason stayed almost an hour in the "backing up system data", so I cancelled it when the "cannot finish" message appeared.
4. Then rebooted, and now stays stuck in Galaxy S3 screen.
I redid 1, 2 and 4, and still stuck, even if I let the phone rest for more than 10 minutes.
For the life of me, it seems to be a bootloader issue, but I am unsure.
Anyone has any idea what I did wrong?
Thank you.
Try wipe of /system and all other wipes that you can apply. These are under the advanced section of your recovery
This will wipe your whole phone. Then try and reboot

Builtnoob, did that. My sd card was fully wiped, as well as cache and dalvik. Thanks for the input.

Shortydogg, once i flashed and was in the launcher, and alk was working fine, I rebooted in to recovery to do nand. Even if the nand was uncuccessfull, i should still be able to boot into the rom, since it was already running. That is my question: how come it stays stuck at boot. Thx for looking into it.

Usually first boot takes a good half hour at times. Give it some time. However this could be due to a faulty flash. Or some corruption of data. Use twrp to mount your internal memory. Then redownload the ROM and reflash .

Did you format the internal SD or did you format the system, data, and cache from recovery?
audit13, I formatted everything but my ext sd card. Tonight I will try again, this time with fresh download and wiping cache and dalvik after flashing, before booting, and will report back. Thanks guys.

Don't forget the /system wipe as a lot of the stock ROMs do need it

An easier fix may be to just flash a pre-rooted 4.3 ROM that is made for the Bell, Telus or Rogers version of your phone. Then, load a custom recovery to flash custom ROMs.

Buildnoob, thanks for the info. I did fresh install and wiped cache and dalvik after flash and now all is well.
Thanks guys for the help.

Wipe both caches after flash?
Sent from my SGH-I317M using xda premium
When I have issues I save everything from internal SD card to my PC then load the ROM files to ext SD. Then I go to recovery > wipe. Then do Factory reset, system and data. That way its all clean. Don't wipe external.

install it from your internal card, NOT your external card..
Flash the latest TWRP and re download the time and flash again.

Let me apologize for not using the search, not sure how to use it on this xda app.
Anyways just flash Infamous s4 4.0. Now having that problem. Did a clean wipe prior.
Phone is also showing " unfortunately, system UI has stopped" after reboot.
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda app-developers app
With Infamous, it's recommended you wait about 5 minutes after flashing before setting up your phone.
-What recovery did you use to flash?
-Do you have 64gb sd card and what format?
I followed the OP skip pass setup wizard waited 5plus mins at home screen then reboot.
I have a 32gb ext sd , don't know the format.
TwRP 2.60

A 32gb card should not be any problems. I would take a look at the TWRP v2.6 as others have problems with Infamous using that version.
Try TWRP 2.5.0.2 or CWM base recovery.
I would Odin back to start and start over with a different recovery, it might or might not be your problem but that's the 1st thing to look at IMO.
I was using wicked rom 5.1 before installing Infamous andbit worked fine, I gonna go back to it. Is there anything special I should do other than the , clean wipe and flash wicked rom? Thanks for answering

Did you make a nandroid backup of Wicked ROM?
If you did just restore backup, if not do a clean install (full wipe, ect. like you did the first time.
As for infamous rom, I'm getting the screen shot error but it's still being saved so I guess I'll deal with it for now. Now I gotta find out how to update the 3minite framework. I paid and download the 3minite app 3.2 version but infamous only comes with 3.1 app is not compatible. Not my day for new roms lol

OK guys, lately I've been seeing a little too many people complaining about bootloops and UI crashes, etc when installing/flashing a new rom. This guide includes installing an update of the rom you're currently on that has been re-based as well.
The only reason I'm making this guide is so that users stop filling threads with these issues that are caused by user errors (99% of the time). I haven't bootlooped or had any problems at all when flashing a new rom and I can promise you that I am a huge flashaholic. Here are the steps for a TOUCHWIZ rom:
1. Download rom and calculate md5 checksum (this can be done using ES file explorer from the play store)
2. Reboot into recovery and make a nandroid backup! Can't stress this enough...
3. Do a FULL wipe. This is where I notice the error that most people make. You must do a wipe of data, cache, dalvik cache, preload AND SYSTEM.
- Don't just do a Factory reset, you must manually wipe system as well to prevent any issues. In TWRP this will be under advanced wipe, and in Philz touch recovery this is done by selecting the "Full wipe to install a new rom" option.
4. AFTER wiping all of the above mentioned partitions, then look for the rom in your internal/external SD card and install/flash it.
- if the rom has an aroma installer, sometimes it'll include a full wipe option in there, this doesn't mean that you can skip the full wipe done in step 2 of this guide.
5. Allow the rom to install everything and then choose the reboot option within your chosen recovery.
6. Let the phone reboot, input all of your info in the initial setup and then let the phone sit for a couple minutes. After this I usually reboot the phone again as a habit.
If you follow these steps to the T you shouldn't have any problems. I've yet to bootloop once on this phone with any rom. Now go and flash away!
Other possible issues/fixes:
- if you have a 64gb SD card, your current kernel or the kernel included with the rom you're flashing might not support 64gb SD cards in EXfat format. A fix for this would be to either flash another kernel that has 64gb SD card support or to copy everything from your SD card to a computer, format your EXfat sd card to fat32 format and then retransfer the files back to your sd card.
-some people have reported that moving the zip file from the internal SD to the external SD or vice versa has fixed flashing issues so make sure to try this as well, not sure why this works but it does sometimes.
-if a specific cause can't be diagnosed it's always recommended to restore your phone back to complete stock using Odin to flash stock firmware. Here is a link to the stock firmwares (I take no credit for that thread): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2335109
*Will add more info
Just in case.

-Data wipe/Factory reset. In Philz CWM version when you chose this it stated "Wipe phone for new ROM"
Every recovery as far as I've seen has a system wipe option, just have to look for it. Only mention TWRP because I haven't used the other recoveries in a while.

Question, for restoring nandroid backup : before I first started to flash roms last week. I did the following with Twrp, backup, - wipe data and caches(no system), then I backup again before moving forward with the flash. My question is: can I just restore my second backup with just the system without the data.?
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda app-developers app
Why do you backup twice? And why would you restore just the system partition? You might as well just reflash the rom so you don't waste space having a system only backup.

A nandroid will restore your phone exactly how it was when you made the back up.
If I read it correctly, on the 2nd backup, you did a wipe before you did a backup.
So if you restored that 2nd backup, it will have wiped ROM (no data and will need to set up phone again). Hope that make sense.
Yeah that's what I want, I want to go back to that clean clean rom, I don't need my user data

Then don't restore a backup for that. Just reflash the rom.

Cause I'm OCD when comes to things like this, seriously lol. I move all the backups to the external SD and my computer lol. So not too worried about taking up space. I just want to see if everything is working normally with the clean stock rom. I.e. Able to send MMS. Read and write to ext SD properly.

Well if you just want to go back to a fresh clean install there's no point in restoring a backup. Just reflash the rom bro. Any kernel changes or system app changes will still be there if you restore a system backup but won't be there if you reflash the rom (after doing full wipe that is).

Yep that's the same exact issue I had. Make sure u are swiping for factory reset. Don't use the advanced option. Then go to format and type yes to format internal SD card. Then flash ROM and clear caches. Then flash gapps and clear caches again. Reboot. After initial bootup reboot and let it sit for 10 to 20 minutes for second boot. If u followed these instructions to a tee u should be fine.

Whenever you flash a new rom, don't flash any mods directly. Complete the initial setup, wait for 5 minutes for the rom to settle, then reboot. Later you may flash mods

Everything like you wrote, after flashing rom always do first boot. After this works great until i reboot phone.

I don't what else could be the problem. Tried Super Wipe? (Philz recovery ---> Wipe Data/Factory Reset ---> Clean before installing new ROM?)
