thats not working perfect, thats called one f'd up phone.
sounds like a bad memory card and you can wipe and format all day long, the card is still bad.
are you using a different card than the one that came with the phone?
if so put the original back
if not, go get a different card.
if the original is bad take it to the sprnt store and see if they can replace it.

haha thanks. its been 8+ hours i havent had a problem using,saving,loading,calling. idk man, still think i should go take it back??
o and yea im using original sd caRD. how do i explain the problem if to them without letting them know it has been rooted?
Just act clueless and be like "I just took it out of my pocket and it was acting weird" if all else fails plead the fifth
OK....long story short...finally decided to delve into rooting and custom roms. Flashed CM6 yesterday and everything was going great. Then suddenly yesterday evening as I was swiping between home screens on my device everything froze, and I have been trying to recover ever since.
Anything I flash now just freezes, and i have a touch panel-fail so even when i do get a rom to boot i cant actually get into set it to usb mode or anything.
using bootloader i can not get it to connect using the adb driver so that I can push via adb.
about an hour ago I was successfully able to run the latest RUU and it ran successfully, but device is still way laggy (takes 15 minutes to boot) and no touch screen.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! don't know where to go from here. From what I have read its not bricked because I can get into Bootloader and Recovery???
Just a shot in the dark here, but it sounds like since you're stock now it's an actual hardware failure.

Is there way I can verify that the RUU did indeed flash *EVERYTHING* back to stock?
It seen like you have a HARDWARE issues, Re-Boot the Stock Rom. Call Sprint and explain what's going on with your phone, please *DO NO'T MENTION YOU ROOTED YOUR PHONE* Tell them you try to wipe your phone and it was really laggy before you wipe, since you gonna Re-Boot the stock rom the phone is going to get UNROOTED, I know this cause I work at Sprint... So good luck...

I definitely wont rule out hardware issues...this is a refurb device i just swapped my original EVO for on Monday. I guess I just want to rule out any software issues for sure.
You mention that re-booting the stock rom will UNROOT the phone...however I hav no way to currently re-boot the rom??
Also looks like i can not get into recovery now, when I select the option in the bootloader it just takes me to the screen with a picture of a device and a red triangle

Get a Memory Card adapter for PC or use anything that will let you connect your SD card to your computer... As soon as you put the *ORIGINAL STOCK ROM* in your SD card your phone will do everything by itself...

OK, so I loaded this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=874091 onto my sd card as PC36IMG.zip
It loads the zip then says parsing for about 1 second then just reverts back to the HBOOT option ???
Doesn't ask me if i want to install????
Looks like I grabbed only the OTA update rom that was posted on that page. I am going to try the odexed version on this page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=874251

I think so, on the bootloader it still shows "S-off" ...doesn't that indicate it is still unlocked?
OK, so I was able to flash the file in the bootloader. It looks like it won't load past the 'HTC EVO 4g' splash screen.
ARGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just got my Gs3 Replacement and for some reason i cant get my pc to recognize the phone so i can transfer files. Do the drivers from my last Gs3 have anything to do with this?

This happened to me after I switched Roms, but I just did a factory reset and re flashed the ROM and it seemed to do the trick.
Gremlins I guess, always best to do a data wipe and factory reset.

Yeah, but it is very important to have the ability to have your phone connect to your PC, this makes things much easier and quicker as well.
Also you can't access the internal memory of your phone, this solution just solves half of the battle.
Hello,
I have a fairly new samsung S3 on AT&T. The phone is rooted and the new jellybean update applied.
Everything has been fine until this morning it started showing "UNFORTUNATELY, NFC SERVICE HAS STOPPED".
I can hit OK and it goes away but within 5 seconds it's back. It is making my phone unusable.
I went into titanium backup and froze all NFC services - that didn't help anything.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

that fine that you reflash but go in to 3e Recovery by holding down Power+Vol Up+Home until you see the blue writing in the top left corner of the screen. Then let go. From there Factory Reset/ Wipe Device (Warning this will wipe data/pictures). Then Reboot.

Whenever you have issues like this. It is best to Wipe. Not really any way around that. I am willing to bet this will resolve all issues.

Well you were definitely right - thanks for the help!
Ti Backup couldn't back up with the error popping up like crazy - so I wiped the device, re-rooted, and now I'm restoring from an older Ti Backup.
Hopefully it won't take me too much longer to get all set up.
Thanks again for the help!

I'm having the same issue, but wipe does not work, I am unable to turn the phone on really, it just gets to Welcome screen, where you choose your language, followed by Unfortunately, S Note has stopped, I press ok, then Unfortunately, NFC as stopped, and it does a few others and then repeats, over and over.
How can I fix?

Well, I never had this happen, so try this:
1: BACKUP, BACKUP, BACKUP. Nobody wants to lose data.
2: Grab the CyanogenMod you want (I recommend the latest, based on Nougat, catching cats is another reason)
3. Grab Odin, I have a copy BUT my computer is out of commission (Using my Pi 3 )
4. GET A RELIABLE USB CABLE. Any issues can make you own a Samsung brickwich.
5. Flash CM using Odin, and also flash TWRP for good luck.
Done, and hope it works.
Hey guys I want to get into twrp recovery but after staying on the 'entering recovery' screen it will reboot . It worked fine till today and I tried reflashing it to no avail. Any suggestions?

Boot into fastboot and type "fastboot erase cache" then flash the recovery.
Try it with both CWM and TWRP.

I tried this but it still wouldn't boot into recovery. I then tried installing an older version on TWRP and finally it booted properly. I was looking through it and something caught my eye. MY ENTIRE INTERNAL STORAGE WAS WIPED!!! I have no idea how this happened!! I tried restoring from my sd card but it couldnt mount /data. Would adb sideloading a ROM work do you think?

It may or may not. Or if it flashes, you might not be able to mount any data partitions or cache.
Try connecting to a PC, and formatting the internal storage with Device Manager.

Last time i couldn't mount /data i just rebooted into recovery and let it sit for a day then it was fine... when I'm about to try to reboot into recovery though it says "no OS installed, are you sure you want to reboot?" will it be safe to reboot?
I hope you get your issues sorted soon. Don't know what i can contribute to help you achieve that. You seem to have more issues than one, but i like to give you one tip and that is to stay in one thread only. I seen you around now in multiple threads and its getting confusing on your actual status. Please don't take this the wrong way, it's very well ment advice
Cheers.

Should be safe. You won't have an OS, so it will just boot into bootloader.

Thanks for your help. You answered many of my questions and were very patient with my questions. I regret to say though that my phone is now bricked. Only bootloader will show up, recovery is a black screen and so is bootup. This wouldn't be so bad if my /data is still corrupted after everthing i tried and no computer will recognize my device. I will come back to xda when I actually know what I'm doing and when my phone isn't as valuable. Thanks again for all your help.
Not sure if this is a similar issue or not but I had some issues getting into recovery after doing Sunshine S-Off today. Had TWRP installed and working fine, but after doing the s-off exploit I would see the recovery screen for a split second before the phone would reboot normally again.
Even running fastboot boot recovery.img to run it directly wasn't working.
However, downloaded and installed CWM instead and all is fine again. Phew

Its not bricked if the screen comes on. I sincerely think we can get this thing back up and running. A phone that doesn't work isn't "valuable" so you might as well keep at it.
Delete all HTC drivers, and connect the phone to a PC. Go to Device Manager, select the option to manually select drivers, and select the generic Android MTP device.

Looks like you solved it. But did you mean you were going to replace the phone? That shouldn't ever be necessary just due to software mods you did, as long as the screen comes on. I've seen only one exception so far, where several users here helped the user exhaust every possible fix to the memory not being mountable and nothing worked, and it might have been a fried emmc chip or similar hardware fault. In your case, I still had plenty of hope, as there were still several options that were not tried.

No OS is a known issue for some folks on TWRP. It is puzzling, since it only seem to affect some people. TWRP was pretty rock solid and reliable on my past device, so its a bit disheartening to see it appears to be considerably more buggy on the M8.
So is the phone fully up and running, no issues mounting memory?
