So basically I screwed up really badly, and wiped absolutely everything on my S3 while half awake. All I get is stuck on the boot logo. When I try and boot into recovery, it says its trying to boot but just locks on the samsung logo, and when I try and use download mode it flashes the screen with the warning about installing custom OS on it, then gets locked on the samsung logo. Am I totally screwed here? Sorry if this has been asked before, I've been looking through about 30+ tabs on chrome right now for any sort of solution.
When you see the warning message in download mode, do you press the volume up key to get iinto download mode?

EDIT: IT BOOTED! I dont know how i got through it not doing anything, but ODIN worked! thanks for trying to help buddy

I tried flashing the phone to Cyanogen 9.1 and something went wrong.
I then followed the instructions to restore to original T-mobile ROM.
It worked.
No, I am stuck on the Android System recovery <3e> screen.
I am able to go Vol Up and Down, but NOT to enter with OK Key. I do not even have an OK key.
Press the power button does nothing.
It only work when I hold it. The phone gets rebooted and I see the Samsung Galaxy SII Android 4G T Mobile welcome screen.
The progress bar underneath gets all the way to the right and the phone just gets stuck at this point.
Is my phone bricked?
Can I restore it?
I am able to get into download mode and ODIN recognizes the phone.
I try to flash the stock T-Mobile image, it takes a while and it FAILS!
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

have you tried re-downloading the stock image? check the md5
So, I was trying to access recovery to flash a backup because my phone went full retard and wouldn't stop saying that Swype had stopped. I rebooted and it went into download mode instead of recovery, what can I do?

As far as I'm aware, if you accidently boot into download mode, you can just pull the battery and then turn it back on (as long as you're not using adb or Odin, it shouldn't mess anything up). I've done this a number of times when I've pressed the up instead of down while booting.

Pulling the battery works fine.
You can also just hold down the power button for several seconds and it will power off.
I was trying to use twrp to make a backup before I updated to lollipop but when it rebooted it got stuck in a loop. I tried going into download mode but it just says "Downloading.... Do not turn off target!!"
Any way to get out of this?
Thanks

Where can I do that? I can't get into recovery mode. I push "vol down+home+power" and it just says "downloading do not turn off target" Is there another place to factory reset?
Pull the battery and try getting into recovery

I pulled the battery and it still just says "downloading.. do not turn off target" and won't go any further
But the strange thing for the boot loop in the top left corner it says "recovery booting" in blue and then its the android guy for a split second and then it reboots.
Pull the battery, then press volume down + home and power and see if you can get into download mode. Then press volume up and Odin stock tar.

I can get there but it just says "downloading... Do not turn off target!!" I have waiting for about 15 minutes and it doesn't change.
If I do volume up it goes into the boot loop. I was trying to make a backup with twrp and I think my phone is stuck in recovery mode boot loop

This is what you are supposed to see. Hook your phone up to tour computer, load the stock tar in the PDA slot, make sure you see com# ie. com6 and then hit start. It will flash the ROM and reboot your phone.

Pull the battery, insert and factory reset again. Pull battery again and Odin stock tar; pick one of the tars in this thread. The steps and tools needed to start are clear.

Note: the thread was just updated for lollipop; the support posts and help posts are related to the KitKat tars. Original is last of the three. OB7 I'd most likely what you're after unless looking for Xposed framework compatibility which is KitKat only, for now.
Hi, my device after a soft reset, reboots to the teamwin blue screen flashes black and then again to the teamwin screen. I cant get to recovery mode to restore rom. Any help would be appreciated.

Hold power+home+volume up and down buttons all at the same time until it's fully shutoff. Then quickly press the download mode button combo and reflash twrp

Thanks for the answer but i can't get the device to enter download mode. When i reboot the device (with any combination of keys) it says on top left corner of the screen "Recovery Booting..." and then it enters to teamwin screen loop, no matter what i press.

Wait till its completely dead. Plug it in and press the download mode button combo. Might be your last hope

Thanks for your answer but the same think happens.
Same appened here. After a factory reset its stucked on teamview boot loop.
Anyone got a solution??
Solved by flashing cf-auto-root with odin on download mode.
Just ran into this myself haha. The device is just soft-bricked and I managed to get it into Odin mode (Download). Will let it charge for a bit then either flash stock firmware with Odin or try flashing TWRP again to see if that fixes it
Edit: flashing the latest TWRP worked
Same thing is happening to me. I get stuck in the teamwin boot loop and cannot get into the download mode to fix with Odin.
This all came about after trying to factory wipe the device due to Google Play not working correctly. I'll repost if I have success...
Just recovered my tablet from the same issue. In order to get into download mode, I had to let the battery fully drain. Then, holding the home and vol down keys, I plugged it into the charger. Plugging the charger in while the battery was drained automatically powered it up. After I saw the download warning, I released the buttons and entered download mode as usual. Then I flashed the latest TWRP with Odin.
No other combination of booting or button pressing worked. Trying to enter download with home+vol down and pressing power did not work for me either.
Good luck and PM me if you have any questions about this. I hope I explained it correctly.
