I have been using the i747z ROMs for quite some time and after trying a bunch of other ROMs I always reverted back to theirs. So when their 3.0 version came out with Android 4.3 I installed it, using ClockWorkMod recovery. Right after it installed, CWM displayed a message about the boot loader and to fix it. So I went ahead and did that (Don't really remember what the message was) What I know is that I lost root. Also the phone could not connect to the mobile network, only on Wifi. So this morning, I factory reset the phone again, and attempted to root the phone with Odin with CF-Auto-Root-d2att-d2uc-samsungsghi747 (which I had used when I first rooted the phone). Now the phone doesn't boot past the 2nd samsung logo, it starts out with the Samsung logo with the blue circle around it, then the AT&T Rethink Possible and then the plain white Samsung logo. Also, the LED has a slow blue flicker.
I can get the phone into download mode and I have used Odin to attempt to load the stock firmware and the stock bootloader. But after restarting the phone I can't get past the same screen described above.
I am pretty sure this is not related to the i747z v3.0 ROM but rather something a miss with the order in which things need to start in Android. I have done some reading on that but I am not sure what I need to do to correct this soft brick situation. ( I have googled "soft brick" as well)
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

After flashing through odin did you format data?If not try it.
Go into recovery and wipe data.
**SOLVED**
Thanks xXFl4sh, I had tried that.
Solved!
Alright where do I start? How about RTFM Some how I had missed the part about flashing a bootloader and a modem after the ROM. Not recalling having to do that before, I skipped right over it. Once the recovery CWM 6.0.3.1 was finally loaded, getting the flashing the ROM, the bootloader and the modem was easy as usual.
The key was having to use Odin to install a recovery in .tar or .tar.md5 format since I could not access a Recovery Mode on the GS3, as well as a rooted stock image (I used root66_ATT_I747UCDLK3.tar.md5 which is a rooted Android 4.1.1 for AT&T) For the recovery, I couldnt' find a .tar or .tar.md5 for ClockWorkMod (did find a utility to convert it, but didn't want to introduce another variable into the mix) so I used one from Team Win Recovery (v2.6.3.0) and with that I loaded the CWM recovery. Once all of that was in place, I proceed to factory reset, clear data, cache, system and then flash the new ROM, bootloader and modem.
In all of this I learned quite a bit about the whole process and how to narrow down possible resolutions. I still see the "Rom may flash stock recovery on boot" message after flashing either a ROM, bootloader or modem, but just backing out without answering Yes or No seems to work. Also (and this may be related, I don't see the option to restart in recovery from shutdown menu). Don't really know what that's all about for now, and honestly don't want to mess around (at least for a while)
I know the steps are general, but I hope this can help some else if they get their devices in a soft brick situation. As for the i747z v3 ROM with 4.3, I really like it, everything works (Wifi,Blutooth,tethering) and the battery seems good as well.
Thanks!
Long time reader, first time poster.
I don't have anything worthy to contribute as most everyone on these forums is far more experienced than me. I do however run into problems - a lot. Working through those problems is quite possibly more enjoyable than experimenting with new ROMS, and I wouldn't be able to work through any of them without the help of this forum. That said, I'll give the short version of my problem first as I'm sure not everyone wants to read the lengths I've been to to unbrick this phone.
I used CyanogenMod's app to root my phone and flash CM10 (which felt like a bad idea at the time). I love CM10 on my Kindle, but I wasn't the biggest fan on my SIII. My phone updated to CM11; which I really hated, and in an effort to flash a new ROM I got stuck in a boot loop. Now I cannot boot into any recovery at all.
The long version:
I am a novice when it comes to flashing, but I'm learning as I screw up. This is the 4th device I've rooted and my second SIII. I have been using TWRP on my Kindle and I totally love it. After having CWM installed by CM's app, I was unable to flash any ROM, period. Rather than hurl my phone against the wall (which I really wanted to) I tried to flash the TWRP .img file, but no matter how I tried the only recovery I could get to was CWM. Finally I used CWM to flash the latest version of PAC-MAN - which I had bootloop problems with on my Kindle - and consequently found myself in a bootloop. I would get the regular Samsung screen, then the CM Samsung screen, then the PAC-MAN screen which it would stay in forever. Throughout all of this the only way I could access a bootloader was by restarting the phone into recovery from Android. Using the "Volume-up, Home Button, and Power" combo doesn't work. I can't remember it ever working to get me to recovery. Anyway, I now have the Dongle Jig which gets me to Download Mode and I can flash the Stock ROM through Odin, but now my boot is stuck on the black Samsung screen. I have also tried flashing the TWRP .tar file through Odin with no luck.
I'm open to any and all suggestions.
HELP!!!

You was not on the OTA MK3 build prior to all the flashing right? If not..
Flash TWRP 2.6.3.0 .tar in Odin (I read I am not the only one having trouble with 2.6.3.1)

I'm not sure what OTA MK3 is, but I just tried flashing TWRP 2.6.3.0 via Odin with no luck. What is OTA MK3 and how would it affect my ability to flash?
Hi all. I'm in a real pickle here and hoping someone can tell me how to get out of this mess. It's a bit of a long story, but I'll summarise as best I can.
I've had my Galaxy Note 2 LTE (N7105) for a year and I rooted it pretty much the day after I got it. I'm not new to rooting at all (fourth Android device since 2010, all rooted), but I still feel like a noob at times. Over this 2014 Easter period I had time off so I decided to change ROMs.
I was previously using CM 11, which I had been using pretty much since I rooted. And I had updated CM at least once a month, sometimes more frequently. So I was looking for some new ROMs, downloaded about 5 and tried them out. The last two I tried was OmniROM (a 4.4.2 ROM) and CM 11 Remix (also a 4.4.2 ROM). I was using TWRP 2.7.0.2 to do the wipes, caches, flashes, etc. I had no issues flashing OmniROM, but when I flashed CM 11 Remix, I couldn't get in the first time. I was stuck in a boot loop. I pulled the battery, got back into recovery and tried flashing again. Still boot looping. I think the mistake I made was a Data Format. Either way, I finally got CM 11 Remix to load by first wiping, flashing the ROM, GApps, a sensor fix, a camera fix, Devil Kernel and then Super SU. However once in the ROM I was getting constant Google Play Store / Services FCs. Oh, and yes, I went through the typical brand new Android setups, entering my Google account and so on... I found that if I cleared data / caches on both Google Play Store app and Google Play Services app, it gave me temporary joy but as soon as I tried to download any app in Google Play I'd get the FC. Also, my signal was totally gone. I tried flashing back to OmniROM as it was my last known good and working ROM, but now that was boot looping. I even tried some of the other ROMs from that bunch I had, including AOKP. All would boot loop.
So after much trying different GApp packages, I decided to best thing to do would be restore it to stock, root again, then go for the custom ROM (hopefully CM 11 Remix) from a nice clean slate. So I did this. I downloaded the Android 4.3 stock ROM from SamMobile here. Installed Odin 3.07, then loaded it up and flashed the stock ROM. All seemed to go great, but when the ROM was done and phone rebooted, I get stuck in another boot loop! This time at the white "Samsung" logo with the glowing blue edges. Not the model number screen. Also my LED light is on blue, if that means anything.
So I found this thread (post at top of page) which suggests I need to flash the PIT file during the stock ROM installation with Odin. So I found the PIT file here, and I'm ready to flash this along with the stock ROM... HOWEVER, I read something somewhere (can't find it now) that implied if I'm on Android 4.3, flashing a PIT is a bad move. Can anyone comment on that? I guessing since the stock ROM is 4.3, I'm technically on 4.3 (even though I can't get into it).
Or if anything else I'm doing immediately stands out as a seriously stupid move, please let me know. I've been without normal use of my phone for a couple days now and ironically I'm at the point where I'm considering going without a phone for the rest of my life... LOL! AS IF I COULD!
Anyways, any help will be much appreciated!
EDIT: I just realised I should have posted in Troubleshooting, not General Questions... If mods want to move this, please do.
i just suggest that you flash the stock odin without the pit and see if its working out or not. sometimes playing with pit files can screw up your device even more...
btw... next time you play flashing... i'm suggesting you make a backup of your working custom. its will save you lots of time if this kind of problem happen.

I had a problem with my device where I was stuck at boot loader as well, but it was from the rar file of the rom(cm 11) cause I tried downloading it again and it worked.
I suggest you prepare Odin and the stock firmware, wipe factory/cache dalvik, system (advanced), then flash stock firmware, to bring everything back to normal.

Hmmm, I'm not stuck at boot loader, just boot loop. Maybe you meant that?
To clarify, all I can do now is...
1. Boot normally and end up in a boot loop (at "Samsung" white logo with glowing blue edges).
2. Boot into Download mode and from there I can use Odin to flash / install.
3. Boot into stock recovery, which I've never used before (only ever used custom recovery).
I've prepped Odin again, ready to flash the stock firmware, but I've never done a wipe / factory reset with Odin. I don't see any Advanced settings? Did you mean I can do it elsewhere? Cos I see I can do wipes / factory reset from stock recovery.
So should I do that AND then go into Download mode and flash stock firmware with Odin?

ohhh my bad, I meant boot loop (stuck at samsung logo), mine was stuck there but then after it restarts and goes into recovery mode
do these following steps and you should be fine with your device.
1. Go into recovery mode
2. Wipe factory/reset
3. Wipe cache
4. Wipe dalvik
5. Advance > format/system
Now you have no rom or any OS to load,
1. Power off the device
2. Open Odin on your PC(right click run as administrator)
3. power on your note in Download Mode
4. Connect your device to your PC via USB
5. odin should recognize your device, something blue like " ID" or something there, you should be familiar with that.
6. click PDA, and find the official stock firmware zip you got it from samsung website, and make sure it fits your device(for example if you have your note from italy you should have ITV)
7. Hit Start and it should finish in 5-10 minutes.
Its the cleanest way with Odin, I did some crap on my device and that's how I return it to normal.

All good! Cheers man!
I actually went ahead and booted into stock recovery and did the factory reset and partition wipe before I saw your post. And the stock firmware I'd flashed with Odin previously is now booting and I'm finally back in!!! WOOOOOOOOO!!!
Just need to root this bad boy and get back to a nice shiny custom ROM.
Thanks for the advice everyone!

How can I disable this? I've searched on Google already but so far nothing is helping and I can mostly only find info about Knox...

The Note 2 is a great device man. I am sure you'll love it. The Note 3 looks great also, but I don't like the ribbed sides (I'm fussy) and last I read there's an eFuze that goes off once rooted or something along those lines. That's sh!t.

My case is the same case of Invertedskull. I already did all steps as you instructed. I wiped data/cache/system and flash a stock room 4.4.2 of Nordic Rom on SamMobile website.
After flashed, the looping still happens. When I put the charger, the looping stops and goes to the main screen normally. Sometimes, it suddenly restarts but not frequently.
OMG! How to stop it. Pls help me.

If you have access to anything, and don't get JUST the boot loop, then you DO NOT have the same case I was in. You are probably able to recover from this. Try posting on the Tf Forums. The guys over there are "specialists" in Asus Tf tablets, and as you'll see on this thread (http://www.transformerforums.com/fo...-boot-loop-after-doing-routine-cm-update.html), they gave me a lot of help. Not that I was able to recover, but they were awesome dudes.

mroldman281, You didn't post again, so I don't know, If You found solution, but since I had same simptoms, and after four days of reinstalling different stock roms, wiping and even messing with PIT via Odin etc..I can say, that in my case the reason for boot loop was faulty battery. The phone worked when it was plugged in and restarted soon after i unplugged USB cable, and just lopped afterwards. Replacement battery put everything back in order. And I am one happy Camper!
Hope this info helps someone else with boot loop problem
same problem stuck in bootloop
hey guys i have the same problem bootloop all the time i tryied stock firmware but nothing happend avec i rooted my note 2 and intalled a costom recovery and a many roms but stuck in bootloop i didn't chage baterry , by the way i wiped cache and reset factory and clear dalvick cache but the same always bootloop
what u suggest i do
ps : i can acces to bootloader or download mode it charge normally
woow get back my note 2 lte alone
hey guys i get back my note 2 i don't know how but it was a succes :victory:
first : i tried so many afficial firmware 4.4.2 and costom roms but didn't change the problem of bootloop
then i remembred what version i was in it was 4.1.1 so i download it from sammobiles thenks to them flash it and boooom the note 2 lte start like a charm
i want to thanks everyone for their help even if they didn't help directly but this past 3 days i read almost all the threads about note 2
well i thinks one of the selutions here is to revert back the the original stock firmware like i did so maybe will fix the bootloop
Ok so I have a samsung galaxy s3 att and I have been rooted for the past month or so, no issues. Then, I decide to install a custom rom so I get a stable cm11 and attempt to flash it and it says my cwm version is too low so the reboot my phone so I can update it. The phone starts to boot and gets stuck on the att globe logo with the blue light pulsing. I shut off the phone, pull out the battery and try again, still nothing. I start getting scared so I restore the nandroid backup I made right before this custom rom incident and boot it, still gets stuck at the same place. I really need my phone fixed so can someone help me please??
I was talking to @sd_shadow on another forum earlier and was wondering if he could help me?

Grab the latest version of philz touch recovery https://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/d2lte/
The zips are made to be flashed from a recovery like cwm. Install it using cwm, reboot into recovery and philz should come up. You should be able to proceed with wiping and installing your custom rom at this point.
If the zip doesn't work out for some reason, you could also use Odin to flash a .tar.md5 from that link to update your recovery.
Try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=60162192&postcount=2
So my issue is pretty similar, see what you guys think. i been trying everything i can think of.
i updated from xtrestolite 2.1 to 2.2 with out wiping. everything worked fine except when i would make calls, the other people could not hear me. so i updated the bootloader and modem again (i had done it before) and the problem persisted. i flashed back to stock and was getting stuck at the s6 edge screen. the only way to get around this was and get my phone to boot was to flash aou kernel. i was still having a similar issue with calling so I download a modem from a diffrent server and all of a sudden, it was working again on stock firmware... AWESOME!
now that i had all that done and my phone working as it should, i reset my phone for the first time and i got the FRP lock, wont boot phone because custom kernel. GREAT
I then flashed stock of6 again, the tar ball, and the 4 piece version. no dice
i then found of8, tried to flash that still no dice.
id love to flash twrp and load a rom on, but FRP is a alsjdflajs.
the phone will flash successfully, but upon reboot, it will go into recovery, run its course, reboot, and get stuck that the galaxy s6 edge screen.
i use the vol and power click during recovery to see what its doing and everything seems to go fine. it will then say failed to mount /data. im hoping flashing this with the pit file will work, but i cannot download the pit file from my work computer (hahah its blocks on 4shard and mega).
anyone have any other advice? i will update if i figure it out.
Regards team,
-Mad
p.s. none of this is xtrestolite's fault, that rom has been nothing but good to me.. my phone has been picky though. after 5.1.1 i had to flash a custom kernel in order for the digitizer to function properly.... any help is appriciated guys.
SO UPDATE!
nothing good, i tried the pit with of6 and of8, no dice. still stuck.
anyone got a s6 edge w a broken screen? you can claim it lost for all i care.
no one?
i guess if anything past flash stock firmware people dont know? was hoping for alittle more insight.
im sure if i could flash a kernel i could get it to turn on, but FRP has be at bay...
no help for you bro...Samsung just needs to release there software fixing for this comunity...I'm looking a for a dev to answer my question in this section about just flashing zip files in twrp instead of using odin or whatever other methods that can avoid all these problems that are all similar...hopefully in next few months it will be addressed

I initially used odin to flash OI1 update, after a rom I was using caused problems and I got bootloop. It changed bootloader value to b:3 and I'm unable to downgrade now so I used smart switch which didn't recognize device so used emergency recovery and still bootloop. I have factory reset and wipe cache multiple times along with adb side load and individual flashes of bootloader, modem, kernel, flashed custom kernel and twrp to access fix permissions and to mount partitions with advanced wipe etc and still wont boot past logo. Also during one fix attempt phone said can't mount system.. Idk I'm not understanding where the problem is .everything says successful but I'm still in bootloop. Please help. I've spent hours everyday for the past week searching & trying different things that seem might help so open to any suggestions.
