Official KitKat update problem - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

So today my phone tells me there's a new official system update to Android 4.4 KitKat. It was already downloaded so I just started the install. After it finished my phone restarted as it's supposed to. When it gets to the screen after the boot animation that says "Android is upgrading" and optimizing apps, it just restarts. It's still restarting as we speak. Sometimes before it gets to that screen. Is there anything I can do to save it without wiping it and starting fresh?
----------------------------
Nevermind, after many many restarts it stayed on the optimizing apps screen and it's finishing it up now

5.02-5.1 update -"Optimizing Apps" boot loop?

Optimizing App boot loop?
Tried updating from 5.02 to 5.1 using wugfresh nexus tool kit. (which I have used with all previous updates 4.4-5.0, 5.0-5.01, 5.01-5.02 and has worked great) I was rooted so I flashed the system image (like I usually do then re root...)via toolkit. Update finished without errors. Phone rebooted and went into "updating apps" mode, finished then rebooted and went into "Optimizing Apps" routine. All seemed fine. After all apps are optimized the phone appears to reboot and repeats the same optimzation. Every time once finished optimizing apps, the phone repeats.
I can boot into recovery or bootloader still but I want to know what Is the best solution to fix this so I don't further mess up my device(if that's even possible)
thankyou!
Same problem for me on both Samsung tab 2 7.0 and my nexus 5 both running 5.1 roms.
I had the same issue. Flashing also boot.img solved the issue.
After that it is recommended to clear cache.

Installing system update problem

Not sure if it's a common issue or not but since my phone took that latest garbage of an update every time I go into the recovery menu it says installing system update. This is a first for me seems how I've had several samsung phones. Then goes to the dead Droid with no command and after a few mins it loads the menu. I've done several resets and it hasn't changed
It's gone now. I connected it to the Verizon repair assistant. Although the Verizon 2.0 sua. Failed I rebooted the phone and its gone and finished initializing the update.

Possible Brick. Requesting Help.

Hey guys,
So I've been running on stock EPD1 and everything had been running smoothly. Last night my phone randomly shut down, even though it was at full battery. After trying to restart it, I got stuck in almost a boot loop. It would boot, and during the Samsung animation, it would freeze and restart. This would happen twice until the phone gave up I guess and the phone stays at a black screen with either a constant blue LED, or a blinking whitish-purple LED. I have tried using ODIN to flash back to stock EPD1 and EPF1. Both were successful in ODIN, but didn't solve anything. I can flash TWRP, but flashing any ROMs doesn't help. Wiping Data, System, Cache, and formatting hasn't done anything as well. I also used the Smart Switch and Kies emergency software recovery and initialization features. Again, both said they were successful, but didn't change anything. Sometimes the boot gets to the point where it says "Android is optimizing apps," but once that finishes, it crashes again. Am I 100% screwed? Thanks to anyone that can offer some advice.
Small update: After using the emergency recovery feature in Kies once more, the phone booted to the green "Android is starting..." screen and it counted through 35 apps and said it was starting. It crashed at that point. Not sure if that's progress.

bootloop after applying theme and can't enter recovery

Hi,
i'm using Galaxy S9 960f, flashed it over Odin with twrp and installed the "lightrom" from 'yash92duster' in june, everything went super since then.
i just updated my "lightrom" rom, from june to the new november version. Dirty, i only wiped dalvik.
Installed without a problem, rebooted and it went to the "optimizing apps xx/xx" screen.
When it was finished, it asked me to enter my sim pin, after that a screen of the rom appeared, installling i guess a theme.
It stuck at 40%, i waited around 30 minutes, but nothing changed, so i hard rebootet with volDown+power. The phone restarted properly and i was able to use it normal.
I just mentioned that no theme was applied, i guessed that it just didn't because it stuck, so i rebooted into the recovery and installed the rom creators "Apps File", to install his theme again.
All went normal, phone started normal too, the theme was applied, but not totaly, some background elements where still white, what should have been black.
I then have read about applying themes here in the xda forum. I Found envys theme (what the mod creator is using). Downloaded/installed it and looked into the "Wallpaper/Themes" settings.
Then i saw the Bodhisattva theme from envy/the rom creator (I'm not sure who belongs to it sry) and i clicked on it to see the screeshots, but it was loading endless, thought there are just no screenshots.
I applied the theme and my phone automatically restarted.
Then it took longer than usually and it went to the "optimizing apps xx/xx" screen again.
But after that, it just rebootet, it got into a loop from start to optimizing apps.
I tried to get into twrp, but it's not possible anymore, like it got vanished.
How can i get off this loop or into twrp, without deleting my whole phone?
I hope this is as exact as needed, please ask if you need further Information.
.
I found another way to get into into recovery than holding volUp before the boot.
It's power+volDown+bixby till the screen turns black, then quickly switching to power+volup+bixby till the phone starts into twrp.
I cleaned dalvic and installed the theme new with the "apps file", nothing changed, still bootloop.
Then cleaned dalvic again and installed the whole rom again, still nothing changed, again bootloop to the point where apps get optimized.
What else can i try, except deleting everything?
