I have a Sprint GS3 with CWM 10.2.1 nightly that was installed
I was at work today when I noticed the phone restart and come back up to the boot screen, it stayed there for a good 5 minutes so I tried restarting it, same thing happened
I am able to get into download mode and CWM recovery mode
I put the phone in download mode and flashed the stock ROM via Odin. Odin showed PASS, but the phone had multiple errors in a wall of red text. Most were ERROR mounting
Now it boots into the Samsung logo and freezes there. Is there a way to fix this?
SGH-i747
Rom
Paranoid Android for about six months
The phone began to freeze and go to black screen about 24 hours ago with app freezes as well. This morning the black screen was more frequent, so I flashed back to stock.
Odin went all the way through and booted back to Samsung screen where it was stuck for about ten minutes and went dark again.
I pulled the battery and went through a vibrating boot loop.
So I went to clockwork recovery and did the two wipes. I got an error. I cannot remember the error I'm afraid.
I no longer have access to clockworkrecovery although I've tried to flash it with odin with odin claiming success.
I tried stock again and got the same error.
So I downloaded a boot image: boot-stock-att-sgh-i747.tar that went through but it didn't. Just went to the black screen from hell.
Tried stock again, got the same error.
I've tried Odin 1.85, 3.0.4 and 3.0.7
I've also shut down kies and tried all of my usb ports.

Sorry, is the wrong section period. I have an S3 I was really tired when I posted this.
(Originally posted this in the wrong forum, so I am reposting here.)
I have the Galaxy Note II with T-Mobile.
Some background: It was running Android 4.1.2. I rooted my phone once, about two weeks ago, just so I could take an image of it in case of an update issue. (I think the software was called nandroid.) Once I took the backup, I unrooted it again.
Since then, doing the Software Update check under settings never returned any results. It would just keep checking until I clicked cancel.
Anyway, when T-Mobile released the 4.3 update Monday morning, I tried updating to it using the Kies software on my PC (by connecting it through the USB cable). It got up to about 60% installation and then just hung for over an hour. So I unplugged the phone, re-plugged it back in, and then attempted the emergency firmware recovery through Kies. It went through this and got upto 76% installation and then just hung again for another hour. I again unplugged it to re-try the emergency recovery again, but every time I connected the phone, Kies would not detect it again. I re-seated the battery, rebooted my computer, uninstalled and reinstalled Kies, but Kies would not detect my phone again.
I am/was running the stock rom, but my phone won't even boot into it's normal screen. Any time I turn it again, i see the screen--"there were errors during firmware upgrade. try emergency recovery in Kies."
I can't even figure out a way to get to a screen where I can install the image I took using Nandroid a few weeks ago.
Any help or advice anyone can provide would be extremely appreciated!
Use Odin to fix it.
If you can put your phone into download mode then it should be 'saveable' ..

I am able to put it into download mode. When I follow the instructions I found for Odin, the process seems to go smoothly. However, once my phone reboots, it stays on the "Samsung Galaxy Note II" screen (with the black background). I've left it like that for over 30 minutes, and it just stays on that screen.
Should there be another step I should be following?

Try installing SuperSU from Playstore
It has an option of doing a FULL UNROOT
I am sure that will help.
If not then install Rom Manager from PS
Through RomManager reboot in Recovery
1.) Wipe device 3x times
2.) Wipe cache 3x times
3.) Under advance you will Find Dalvik Cache -- wipe that 3x times

But more importantly why would you want 4.3 stock anyway?
Install TWRP Recovery or ClockWorkMod recovery and install/Flash CM1 (Cyagonemod) or any other custom roms 4.4.x kitkat
Nothing is really working for me.
I can't boot into normal mode. I am able to get into "download" mode, but whenever I try to load an image using the Odin software (both a stock image and a Cyagonemod image), it starts to load the image, but just hangs a certain percent of the way through.
I also can't get to that screen where it gives you the text based options to wipe your device, cache, etc.
I've tried loading both TWRP recovery and ClockWorkMod recovery (through Odin), and though it seems to load properly (Odin says "Pass"), when the phone reboots, it goes to the "Samsumg Galaxy Note II" screen (the one with white text on a black background), and just stays there.
I've gotten T-Mobile to agree to send me a new phone. But if I can't get into any of the items I mention above, how can I make sure my old device is wiped before sending it back to them?
Just do this un root with chain fire root away app.
Then use triangle away app.
Then find 4.1.2 MB1 stock Odin tar. The complete package .
Odin to stock .
Reboot and then update via Ota.
You have to un root first and also have to triangle away which removes flash counter in Odin.
System modified status will not allow Ota.
That's the best suggestion I have

have you tried booting into recovery? after you load the custom recovery with odin and it reboots, pull the battery put it back, then hold vol up + home and then + power. hold all 3 until recovery. try a factory reset and reboot.

I have. It brings me to the same screen with the Samsung Galaxy Note II text on the black background and just stays there.
So, in summary, I can get into download mode (vol down+home+power), but it seems nothing else.
Try factory settings the phone through stock recovery and then check your phone status. It should say 'normal' but if it says 'modified,' download Triangle away and run the tracking setting (it'll make your phone say normal so you can download the OTA). Given you're on tmobile and your phone is the T889 model, check for software updates and install the OTA. Your phone will take a bit and will probably be stuck on the T-Mobile 4G boot screen for several minutes (it's normal). This should work.
hello every one i have another gs3 with another boot loop issue. so on first sight the phone looks good. it will turn on and show the screen saying "samsung galaxy sIII" but after that it goes black and 3 seconds later it vibrates then another 3 seconds and it vibrates again and then 3 more seconds and the boot screen is back displaying "samsung galaxy sIII". it will not boot in to recovery mode, however i can get to odin mode or download mode. it has never bin rooted, and it has stock rom, but i did try rooting it throu odin mode and it failed multiple times as well as the phone would display "unsupported format"? i have seen this before and it ended up being a power button and well i tried replacing that with no effect. i also noticed that when you do try booting the phone into recovery mode it will say "recoverybooting" in blue letters at the top left hand corner but just keeps boot looping, i need to recover the data on the phone since i was going to back it up but could not do it in time lmao!!!! any help or suggestions would be appreciated, i have bin at this for days now and my chances are looking dim some one said reinstal the stock rom throu odin mode i guess my only question is will reinstalling stock rom wipe my data or no?

Hey I had the same problem as you and just managed to fix it.

Hi Guys hoping someone can help me out.
One of my friends who should know better decided to try and flash a custom rom to his N7105 trouble is he used a n7100 twrp which apparently installed and then tried to flash a n7100 rom .
Now his phone is stuck in a boot loop, it sometimes gets as far as the animated boot logo with the blue led pulsing depending on what I last did to it lol. I can get into both download and recovery and the power button isn't stuck.
I don't know what stock version the phone was one when he started messing with it and he is vague about everything HE tried to do to fix it before I got my hands on it. Its entirely possible it was on 4.1.2 to start off with and he's tried to go straight to lollipop does the 7105 need to update in increments? or could he have put a n7100 bootloader on somehow but flashing stock via Odin should fix that right?
I have a memory of people having this sort of problem years ago with HTC and it ended up being a mismatch between the modem and baseband versions or something like that, thoughts?
Here's what I've tried
Odin flash CF-Auto root as it restores stock recovery at least now the PC detects it as t0lte not t03g
1) Recovery wipe data and cache - now only gets as far as the initial samsung galaxy note II screen
2) Odin flashing a 4.1.2 rom from sammobile - no go "unsupported" so has a knox bootloader
3) Odin flashing a 4.3 rom from sammobile - hangs on animated boot logo with the blue led pulsing
tried 1 again same result
4) Odin flashing a 4.4.2 rom from sammobile - hangs on animated boot logo with the blue led pulsing
tried 1 again same result
5) Install firmware via Kies - hangs on animated boot logo with the blue led pulsing
tried 1 again same result
Odin Flash proper version of twrp 2.8.7.0
6)Fix permissions in TWRP - says sucessfull but also has "E: unable to mount data" etc back to the initial galaxy note II screen
7) Flash custom rom via twrp - hangs on animated boot logo with the blue led pulsing
tried 1 again same result
I'm running out of ideas and patience with this thing does anyone have any other ideas for me to try?
After leaving the phone for a while to prevent me from smashing it into a million bits with the biggest hammer I could find I got it working tonight.
Charged the phone up I had to disconnect and reconnect a few times as it said it was 100% on the full screen battery picture then in recovery it said 18% or something
I re-flashed N7105XXUFNL2_N7105H3GFOD1_H3G from sammobile using Odin 1.85 along with the PIT file from this thread checking re-partition (I used a pit file otherwise I'd leave this alone), Auto Reboot, F.Reset time and Phone Bootloader update. This seemed to take longer than previous flashes.
Flashed TWRP 2.8.7.0
formatted Data in TWRP (the advanced one where you have to type yes to confirm). Previously Data was unmountable so I assume the long flash fixed something there.
Wiped cache in TWRP
and rebooted and waited ages and it came to life
