[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

Flash a stock type ROM from development section or try to download another cm type rom . didnyoubtry anything else before you flashed cm and after

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.

When I try this it just reboots back into CM logo and again at the black screen, I am wiping all caches and formatting every directory.

I made some major edits, check those out

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?

Okay have you tried putting a rom in an ext SD card sand flashing from there ?
Sounds like you are using Odin fine, maybe a bad download ?

Yea I can't find it, not sure what to do next.
I tried using Odin 1.8.5 but still no luck.
Does anyone have any links for the canadian stock ROMs? Maybe I could try a few and see if any work?

No problem at all. I find twrp a bit more intuitive to use and that odd cwm didn't find ext card. Glad it worked.

Twrp not booting.

I used goo manager to download and install the latest recovery. Every time I go to boot into recovery it gets to the load screen where the blue letters are at the top but then it vibrates two or three times then reboots the phone like normal. My phone is rooted but not sure why it's doing this....help would be appreciated.

Have you tried flashing TWRP via Odin?

Have you tried to install twrp again?
Try installing cwm (you can use the ROM manager app) and see if that boots. Then try using too to install twrp again.
Sent from your phone. You should be careful where you leave that thing.

I haven't tried using Odin yet. I will give that a try. I was hoping I could do it without having to use a computer. I have tried reinstalling twrp using goo manager without success.

Switch to cwm to make sure the recovery partition of the storage is okay. Install cwm via the ROM manager app and make sure you can get into SOME recovery. Then try to install twrp again from too. Switching to another recovery was an important step in that process.

Finally got twrp installed! Goo manager and Rom manager did not work for me....they both would not boot into recovery. I had to use Odin mobile and install the recovery then it would boot. Thank everyone that helped out. Hope this can help someone else.

This is a little late here, but I an others have had trouble booting into recovery after flashing ROMs like the leaked 4.3.
It behaved just like the above when I was trying to get into recovery to restore a nandriod - even after a battery pull for 1 minute. I put in into Download mode, then did a battery pull. After that, it went into recovery with no problem.
Note - if Goo Manager installed 2.5.0.3 - that could be part of the problem, as there are issues with it. I went back to 2.5.0.2.

I think some 4.3 roms make you loose root also read their op.

Omega 1.0 was the first one to indicate it was rooted - but it unrooted me. It was when I initially tried to restore a nandriod when I could not get into recovery. I had read about others not being able to get into recovery after flashing 4.3 also.

[Q] TWRP won't load anymore and phone can't detect sim

I've had Sons of Android installed on my phone for a few months and a few days ago my phone stopped detecting the sim, I haven't had service since it stopped. I was going to try doing a restore to the stock rom but when i try to boot into TWRP it shows the splash screen for a few seconds, then it goes black and vibrates 3 times, and then it boots into android. Is there anyone here that can help me with my problem?

Put the phone into download mode and reflash twrp 2.6.0.4 maybe u deleted something u shouldn't have, reflashing the recovery should fix that, and if u wanna go back to stock u need to go to sammobile.com download ur firmware and flash with Odin, same thing put phone in DL mode and use odin to flash stock IMG.

How are u trying to get into recovery? Hold power and vol+vol- until phone shuts down, as soon as u feel the first vib let go of power button but continue to hold vol+vols until u see twrp screen, or depending on which ROM ur on u may have an advanced rebbot screen?, try updating ur su app, or better yet download twrp manager from play store, u can flash/backup/restore right from ROM without having to boot into recovery, but u need to have twrp recovery installed for this app to work

Check what version of supersu you are running. If it's not 1.94, go to play store and update.
After its updates run it, a window will pop up. Say yes to disable knox

Too me it sounds like you wiped more than you should have in fastboot and now you need to reflash some in order to get working recovery. If you got the .img files from an extractor for update.app then reflash them all in propper order.

How am I supposed to get back my default rom to flash??
BTW before any of this happened I only do fast-food erase recovery and flashed another .img. recovery. I didn't erase anything else.

Ok now what was the system that you were using (i need the build number or firmware version) so i can look it up and where did you get the recovery.img file from?

As writen before on this forum twrp has two versions and the one that you installed is for jellybean, that is android 4.2 and you said you have B513 which is kitkat - android 4.4 and thats why it doesnt work. So you need to find the proper version of twrp (2.8.1.0 is the current for kitkat) and flash that.
