We my son was using my phone GS3 and pressed on to update. he thought it was a game update, but once it ran it boot then it will be stuck in the ATT logo. I kept tying to reset nothing it boots but once in att logo it stops. i also went in to clear the cach anf reset to factory and still no responds please help.....
Was the phone rooted? Does it have a custom recovery? These two things can cause an ota to fail.

I went to update my phone today as the 4.0.4 update popped up last night. I tried doing it a few times and each time it fully downloaded the 37MB update adn restarted the phone to install.
When it restarts the google logo pops up for a second before it vibrates, restarts again and continues to boot normally. I thought that i would do a hard reset and try again but when u selelct hard reset it does the same. Reboots, shows google logo for a second and resets again into normal boot.
So i thought i would go to recovery, but as soon as u select recovery it does the saem thing. So it seems my bootloader is dodgy. I have never rooted or changed the bootloader. How can i fix it so i can update / run recovery?
Wait so if you let it do its thing it restarts ?

Whatever you ask it to do, update, hard reset, go to recovery it simply reboots, the google logo pops up for a second, then it hard resets again, vibrates, google logo pops up and it contiunes to boot as normal. It just doesnt do anything.

ok so heres what happened. this morning my phone started behaving weirdly. then it restarted and got stuck in a boot loop. I was running the newest aokp release. after the boot loop i restarted to recovery, i was using the team win one. i wiped cache and dalvik and restarted...still only to boot loop. next i tried factory wiping and reinstalling rom. still same thing, only then i couldnt clear the cache. if i tried it would just reboot.
on lunch break i figured id just odin back to stock. after playing with it a few times i got it to flash the stock back. after it rebooted the first time it went into recovery to clear the caches like it should but there was a red message saying cant locate efs or something. there was about 4 lines in red saying pretty much the same thing. and it said manual mode at the bottom.
ive tried wiping caches and restarting a number of times. I fallowed both the guides from the development section and from the general section. so i currently have the stock ics odined on the phone. it will boot to the rom and start. made it through the upgrading android part then once it gets to the home screen it will sit for a minute then reboot again and just boot loop. i can clear cache and make it boot back up but it just restarts after a few secondds.
please anyone know what to do? this is my second gs2.
Hi,
I recently tried installing the new 4.3 update onto my Samsung Galaxy S3 I747. Also, I never rooted my phone and my carrier is Telus if that matters.
When my phone finished updating, it lead to the lock screen. Just as I was about to enter my pin and unlock it, the phone restarts and gets stuck on the Samsung splash screen. I have tried entering into recovery mode and then wiping the cache and restarting it, but no luck.
I do not wish to restore my phone back to factory settings because I do not want to lose my music and apps. Is there a solution that can fix it without wiping the memory?
Thanks.
edit: i left it charging for a few minutes while it was stuck on the samsung splash screen, and then it went to the lockscreen and restarted it self
... i have to wait five minutes before i can save my edit
editedit: it just went to lockscreen for a second again
editeditedit: its going back to lockscreen quite often and restarting it self

When you got it into recovery did you try to wipe data/factory reset??
But to be honest it sounds like your phone is soft bricked maybe. I'm experiencing the almost same problem with my AT&T sgh-i747. Mine is stuck at the Samsung Galaxy S III screen and doesn't go any further than that at all.
You will most likely have to do that same thing I am doing which is reflashing android 4.3 via odin. It may work for you, I'm pretty sure it'll work for mine. Head over here and read this thread and see if this can help if not let me know and we'll come up with somethin else to help you fix your phone. (If I'm correct following this thread and flashing via odin will not erase and of your data.)
Your only other real option is to install the 4.3 MJ2 leak via heimdall. http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2496425
Heimdall will flash odin files. http://glassechidna.com.au/heimdall But odin will not flash heimdall files. It works much like odin flash in download mode so i'm told. I'm trying to figure it out now. I hope this helps.
I was never able to get the above Heimdall installed correctly on my pc. I am still stuck at the black and white galaxy s3 screen. I installed TWRP via odin to try my to run my nandroid i made earlier today and it says successful. But when I go to reboot It says No OS are you sure you want to reboot. I was already on 4.3.3 via the OTA update like you. And now i'm here turn phone on and it's going straight to download mode
Please HELP US BOTH Someone ANYONE
Hi,
My Android (Samsung Galaxy Fame Gt S6810P) stuck on start up boot screen. This is a rooted device with custom rom (xperia) was working properly. Recently I installed a custom boot animation. At beginning boot animation was playing continuously and after 2-3 restarts it was ok. I didn't restart after that. Now I restarted it yesterday, It stuck on again and even after 10 times restarts did not help. So I boot into recovery mode and tried everything including factory reset but no hope. When rebooting after factory reset it was showing some error like "no root access".
And when I reboot again stuck!! Please help me out...
Wrong forum, this is I9100 Q&A; your device has its own Q&A here. I've asked mods to move your thread, sit tight until they do.
did you have nandroid backup if yes use it..else try flashing stock firmware via odin
hey..
u can also use samsung kies for ..this issue.....
I just recently tried installing Cyanogen Mod, it ended up in a boot loop so I did the usually factory reset and flash stock. Except it doesn't go past the Boot Logo and if plugged in it stays at the screen if on battery instantly shuts off. I tried wiping and doing flashing the stock rom(not the stock rom problem). Still having the issue I can only go into download mode but not Recovery, please help I just got this phone.
