[Q] please help soft bricked my at&t s3

hi i have soft brick my galaxy s3 but its not a simple soft brick and i didn't even try to install a rom are anything i just simply rebooted it and it has been stuck on samsung logo every sense i can get into download mode and cwm recovery and ive tried everything from flashing stock in odin to flashing a custom rom and everything but all i did i root and reboot and it got stuck but ive tried every thing i think please help me if you know the issue im haveing thank you i think this is what happen i picked it up from a verizon galaxy s3 form
there is a risk of the /system and /data partitions not wiping correctly with R/O permissions rather than R/W. This makes it impossible for the phone to boot up because no data can be written this is what i think it could be but i could be wrong so can you guys please help me thank you

hey buddy read the thread follow directions to the tee an you will be fine. Download mode = volume down + home button + power all at the same time. release power on boot vibrate and screen should pop up. then follow thread i gave you and download the RIGHT software for your phone. flash in pda slot and make sure reparation is UNCHECKED. auto reboot and reset time should be the only thing checked.
going to bed have work early in morning good luck when in doubt search and read in dev section in stickies and google is your friend good luck and have fun!

Your bootloop is an easy fix if you have not started odin flashing yet.
Just reboot into recovery and select "Factory Reset" then reboot the phone
and most of the time this fixes the problem, I should say at least 8 out 10
booloops can be fixed with a "Factory Reset" then reboot.
Good luck!

You can download the MDL tar from the Odin thread. Yes, you can flash TWRP through Odin. You can get the tar file here.

You don't extract the .tar, that's the format it needs to stay in. Put it in the PDA slot in ODIN, and make sure only Auto-Reboot and Reset Time are checked, and hit start. Once it reboots, it will go into recovery for a second and finish the process then reboot again. Once that part is finished it will most likely be stuck booting. Pull the battery, put it back in, go into the stock recovery and Factory Reset, Wipe Cache, and reboot.

Odin doesnt recognize it though. Thats why I thought I had to extract.

I check your link. I see. The first 2 downloads are in zip format and the last 2 are in 7z format
Use 7-zip to extract those. Google 7-zip and it will be the first result.

The links almost always come from sammobile.com, so it will always be the slow mirrors you see unless someone else puts up another mirror.

Here's the Samsung Stock Firmware tar file:

The OP says he was stuck at the Samsung screen, oh well, did he get past that and now he is stuck in recovery? I am confused now.

I was a little confused myself due to the poor wording and grammar, so I just suggested go back to stock.

Yes yes grammar and wording was poor. Late in the night for me+panic+I'm kinda uneducated ('Merica). That being said, it wasn't the kernel, It was the revert.zip from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2320384&highlight=revert I put something Verizon back into my TMO phone because I wasn't thinking. I'm guessing it was the framework2 Anyway, I did the ODIN cure and now everything is perfect, it even lists everything as "Official" Captain Krunch, thank you an extreme amount!!!!

NP man... FYI, when you ODIN to stock, and root with casual, the Official status stays, and you don't have to mess with the guide to permanently remove the custom screen.

May have a brick

I have an att Note 2 and had recently installed the 4.3 bootloader and tried a couple of the new roms. They were to buggy so I did a full wipe including a data format and restored a Jedi backup. That was this morning. Just a few minutes ago I was attempting to boot into recovery and the phone won't progress past the Samsung logo. Any ideas or suggestions? THanks

Now there was a twrp write up about formatting data in the att gs4 dev section in the golden eye rom I believe. It stated how to fix this issue. Try googling twrp format data fix.

If you can get into download mode, you are not bricked.
Go here;
http://samsung-updates.com/latest-firmware/
Select your device. You can find exact model by removing the back. Model number is on a sticker behind the battery.
Download your firmware. Get into download mode. Load Odin. Tick PDA. Navigate to your firmware. Hit Start.
If it fails try downloading the file again as errors during file transfer are actually very common. Then flash in Odin once again.
Also, I want to add, Odin starts "Not Responding" almost immediately after beginning to flash. Don't panic, this is also very common. In fact it's never NOT happened to me when flashing stock firmware for my Note 2 and S3. Just let it do it's thing and a few seconds later it will recover from this and commence the flash.
I actually have an unbrick video on my Youtube channel for the S3. I need to do one for the Note 2 soon.
Oh, and one more thing, sometimes if you are having difficulty with a bootloop and you can't get into recovery or download, pull the battery and do the steps and then try again. I find many times I have to start from a completely powered off device.
Good luck and keep us posted. =-}

Try to check md5 sum of downloaded rom. If incorrect, try to redownload.
If you backed up your rom before flashing, try to restore it.
Or, you can always flash a stock rom from sammobile using odin.
Goodluck.

TWRP can read backups from the sd card, as long as it is in the correct directory.
