flashing problem - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

So maybe a month ago I decided to upgrade to nc2 firmware and bootloader so I could use sprint port.
I used mobile odin to flash route66 and all went well until I discovered that I lost root because i didnt install properly. Not easy when your usb doesnt connect to pc! Anyways, i was finally able to root with an apk i found here and got twrp working. Good thing I made a backup. Every time I install a rom it never boots up. Looks like it just turns off. Even if I try to power on it wont do anything but vibrate once. No logo screen or anything
I have to boot to recovery and restore from there. Am I missing something? I get succsesful install but nothing happens after. I tried sprint port and likewise rom. same thing happens

Yeah sorry but that will happen when you update with mobile Odin, you need to update with PC version. Try different cable, usb ports, uninstalling kies, reinstalling drivers, even different computer

Stuck recovery

I was preparing to flash the stock EC05 rom with odin and did a full wipe of everything. But it seems I can't get odin to recognize the phone is plugged in (I can get to download mode, but it never shows up in Odin).
Not I'm stuck in recovery with no backup, and can't do anything.
I also can't get windows7 or adb to recognize the device.
I have the drivers I used when rooting the phone, and they don't seem to work.
Windows says "usb device not reconized... the device has malfunctioned" etc.
I have tried many cables and many computers, and nothing seems to work.
My last resort is to buy yet another cable, one recommended in another thread, but I have already bought a few cables designed for this phone, blackberry, and one just for data.
Is there anything I could flash from recovery to at least allow me to boot?

Have you tried downloading the drivers fresh from Samsung? How about different USB ports? Sounds like bad drivers though. The first time I used Odin, Windows used the drivers I installed plus got some others from Windows update. Took about 10 minutes for it to find my phone.
Which version of Clockwork are you on? If not stock you can go here and flash the EC05 stock ROMS:

Classic sign of bad drivers or a bad cable. Don't waste your time on the stock cable - get another, and plug it into a different port. Reinstall the drivers if you need to.

[Q] 7+ hours troubleshooting

I'm kind of stuck here. I'm not big into flashing roms and stuff.....but had issues with the one ROM I flashed 2 years agao so I thought I'd upgrade to CM10 finally. I flashed it properly using CWM and had a working rom....but forgot todarkside super wipe and to install the gapps.zip. So I thought I'd just do it over again. Everything seemed fine in the reinstallations of all 3.....but when I started the phone up it got stuck on a boot loop on the Cyanogen animation. No big deal....I'll just flash it again. Go into recovery mode.....wipe the data/cache.....it freezes on the cache. Try to flash the rom, cWM , the old rom, anything.......it gets stuck on the first "Installing....." . Not good. Can't do anything in CWM.
So I read a million webpages trying to figure out what to do next......someone else had to have had this problem. Seems like my only option is to go through Odin and flash it there. I make sure I get the USB drivers from Samsung and install those first. The installation goes through no problem......I reboot....and then try to plug in my phone via Download Mode. I make sure I use the USB cable that came with my phone and use a powered port on the back of my computer (XP btw). Windows recognizes it with its usual bull**** fanfare of 3 different notifications......"Found New Hardware!" then it says Found! "MSM8x60" then it says Windows failed to fully install new hardware. In the Device Manager its shown as the "Samsung Mobile USB CDC Composite Device" with the dreaded yellow exclamation mark on it. I tried uninstalling the drivers....rebooting.....and then reinstalling. No luck. Tried an older driver package.....no luck. I've spent hours trying every combination with no luck. I can't get Windows to recognize it....or more importantly.....Odin to recognize it. Any thoughts? Thanks.
Sorry for my English.
A lot of different things can happen if you are not using the correct version of recovery. The latest recovery doesn't always mean it will flash properly. For example I had to use TWRP 2.6 for 4.3 based ROM and had to roll back to TWRP 2.5 for some other versions of a rom. I don't know which version of CM you are using but maybe try TWRP or another version of CM.

Yeah....that makes sense. But how do I flash a different version of CWM? I can't get the phone detected by Odin.
Resolved.....tried a couple of other PCs....found one that worked

[Q] The strangest BIGGEST problem

Hi All,
Device = GT-N7100
Been flashing my note 2 with several roms for ages now. However today decided I might try abit of STOCK 4.3. So went to Sammobile and downloaded UK BTU.
Flashed the file fine using ODIN 3.9
Started setting everything up and noticed the phone went to sleep and wouldn't wake up, so decided to clear cache and full data reset using the stock recovery.
Anyway started setting up wifi again etc. Left the phone and it went to sleep again and wouldn't wake up.
Then decided I will download the UK Vodafone from sammobile and see if that is any better.
So rebooted the phone into odin mode. plugged in my usb cable, noticed there was no bleeps from the pc. started odin 3.9. Nothing. No device listed.
Any way to cut a long story short, I cant side load when the phone is running I cant ADB to the phone and the only thing listed in "device manager" on my WIN 8 machine is "Android SMS" as a driver which says it is not working. I have uninstalled Samsung USB drivers gone through all the processes listed on the net.
I cannot get the phone to communicate with the PC at all. So changed computer and it automatically installed Android SMS... on the new machine.
So at the moment im stuck with GLITCHY stock firmware and cannot root / cant side load via USB or anything... HELP!!
Also I cannot enable bluetooth, so I cant send a file like that.
Ok problem solved by sheer chance. When i let the phone boot normally I was getting 7 CDC drivers.
Looked these up and found this thread. Cured the problem.

Things have gone from BAD to WORSE
Well this morning downloaded a different STOCK UK N7100 ROM. Flashed this. Everything seemed to work correctly except it has got stuck in boot loop.
Now my main issue is it has locked me out again I need for the phone to boot so I can use the dialler to *#7284# to select USB and not MODEM.
When I boot into CWM it shows that SDCARD cannot be mounted and same with DATA.
When I am CWM or DOWNLOAD mode the laptop or PC does not recognise the device. Any ideads??? JTAG??:crying:

How can I upgrade my G3 to MM or LP? All methods failed.

Please take a look at the Software Information screen shot of my phone. I tried many methods of upgrading to MM or LP by flashing roms but almost all failed. I tried installing TWRP but on boot phone said "Fastboot mode started" on black dos-like screen. But phone was not bricked and I was able to start normally again into Android 4.4.2 by ejecting and reinserting battery. I am not even sure to which country this phone belongs, since its D855 I think its European, so I tried install those stock roms but failed, in a different way for each method.
When I try to update from LG PC Suite, it says that theres an update available for my phone but while trying to install it the software gives error saying phone cable disconnected.
Please help me guys.
try TOT method.
I did try that, didn't work. At the stage where you are supposed to eject USB cable and put it back in for the flashing to start, when I reinsert the cable nothing happens, a fail message shows up.
Try different USB cables, ports, maybe even PC, have you manually installed all PC drivers? What about resetting the phone? Is the phone rooted?
I have tried two different computers, and two different USB cables, however non of the cable were original from LG, one was from Nokia and other from Asus. Drivers are working fine as far as I know since I can see LG Mobile modem option in Device Manager. I think while trying to install TWRP I deleted the recovery so when I try to reset phone, after restarting it goes to a dos-like mode that says "Fastboot mode started". Yes, phone is rooted.
Hello
Are you sure do you have properly installed root? try this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/guide-root-method-lg-devices-t3129197
Then install the TWRP official app and install recovery from the twrp app.
I had successfully rooted the device, a root checker app from store confirmed that device is rooted.
Friends, now my device is completely bricked. I had given it to a friend after I had corrupted its recovery, he tried different stuff and said that partitions are corrupt. Now he said the device is fully bricked, not even turning on. Any chances of making it functional again?

Phone crashes when connecting to USB

Hello,
I have a massive problem with my device. As soon I plug my phone to an USB cable, it immediately crashes. I could charge it when I turnt off my phone tho, but my PC would not recognise my device. I have a custom ROM installed (Havoc OS) and haven't updated it since a year. I thought there's a problem with my charging port and I went to a repair service, but the guy told me the port is fine, it must be a problem with the custom rom. Unfortunately I can't flash a stock firmware on it or reset it to fix the problem, as I cannot connect it to my PC and install TWRP. Is there anything I can do, to remove the custom rom I have installed? When I do a factory reset, it stays. I already tried to install USB drivers, root it with kingroot (it didn't work) to use flashify or something like that. I don't know what to do anymore. Do you guys have any suggestions?
