Recovery Help! - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

I recently tried flashing TWRP on my S3 and now getting stuck at boot. I can't even get to stock recovery to factory reset because the usb port on the phone does not work at all. Is there any kind of script or anything I can place on an external SD that would run at boot to get the phone back to stock recovery or anything?

Did the USB port work before trying to flash twrp?

No it did not. Sorry for the late reply

The phone won't enter TWRP or stock recovery? Without a working USB port, I know of no way to get stock recovery onto the phone other than possibly using flashify, rom manager, or some other program that can flash a recovery from the ROM.

No TWRP or stock recovery unfortunately. It powers up to the "Galaxy S3" screen and gets stuck like an old Honda on a deep muddy road. Won't boot past there. Wondering if there's any type of script or something I could put on an external sd card that tells the phone to boot from external and restore back to stock or flash a kernel or anything.

There were debrick images that allowed the phone to boot from an external SD card but a Odin was still needed to flash a stock ROM.

Any chance the images still exist anywhere?

I'm not sure but this may help: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2549068

Can't boot into phone, seems no way to recover.

Hello I recently messed up my phone trying to get a custom rom onto my phone. (It is a l710 model)
I can boot into Clockwork Recovery and ODIN just fine, but I phone won't start up.
I used GS3 toolkit to root phone and it all worked fine, but then used clockwork to install custom rom.
I want to recover my phone but the only rom on the internal SD is the one that doesn't work.
I have a Nandroid backup I made using the galaxy s3 toolkit, its on the computer and sd card.
However I cannot restore using toolkit since it just waits for the phone to be on and in usb debugging mode to continue
Recovery says "Couldn't open directory" "No files found" when trying to restore backup.
I would try puting another rom on an sd card but it only browses internal storage (internal sd).
I went to mount external sd but didnt seem to help
Not sure if ODIN can do anything...
Don't know what else to try

I tried that but my phone just flashes samsung then the samsung galaxy s III and then turns off (or at least it appears to be off).
Is there a way to restore Nandroid backups with odin?

You can get adb/the toolkit to see the phone. Go into the device manager while your phone is plugged in and booted to recovery. You should see a device with a ! next to it should be your phone. If you manually install the driver the toolkit will see it. Have the toolkin boot you into download mode. If you have recovery Odin mode should be okay, u sure ur holdin "vol down,home,pwr"?
Thanks for your time.
I managed to get it working.
What I did was
1. using odin, reflash the insecure boot thing.
2. reinstall the rom through recovery
3. factory reset
and then is wasnt stuck in a boot loop anymore
after that I could access internal storeage sd.
I had this same issue. After using ODIN Rom would hang on boot animation. Would never boot all the way and I gave it close to 45 minutes. I also found the only way to resolve this issue was doing a factory reset after flashing through ODIN. Im using Vzw model so I guess it is happening cross platforms.

[Q] Phone stuck in boot loop, not recognized by Odin

Earlier I reflashed back to the stock rom for my Galaxy S III, and after I flashed a new install of cyanogen mod I can't get my phone out of the boot loop. I can still access download mode but Odin and my computer won't pick up on it, and I can still access Clockword Mod. Is there anything to do or am I out of luck because my computer doesnt recognize my phone
Do you have an ext SD card ? Place a ROM on the ext card.
Did you wipe cache in stock recovery after flashing back to stock ?

Try this, usually in a case like yours there is at least a 50% success rate.
Reboot the phone into recovery and do a "Factory Reset".
After doing that reboot the phone and see if it boots completely.
If the phone boots up completely, you will also be able to go into download mode.
You may want to shell out less than $5.00 including shipping for a USB JIG on eBay or other places.
With a JIG all you do is turn the phone off or remove your battery, wait 20 seconds - replace battery and plug the little JIG into the usb of the
phone then wait a 2-3 seconds more or less and like magic you will be in download mode ready to Odin flash(tar) a proper Touchwiz Jellybean
I747 4.1.2 stock rooted rom which are very much un-like all these CM10/AOSP/AOKP roms which are all just experimental.
Once you have flashed the stock rooted jellybean 4.1.2 TAR rom you will be able to flash any custom Touchwiz Jellybean
custom rom of your choice unless you still want to go ahead and flash another experimental CM/AOKP/ASOP rom.
Good luck!
Not to nit pick, but the latest stock Jelly Bean for the I747 is 4.1.1, not 4.1.2. Also, most of the stock rooted roms don't include custom recovery. They usually include the stock 3e recovery. To get a custom recovery, just dl Rom manager for cwm, or goo manager for twrp, and they can install a recovery for you that will have you ready to flash.
Which version of stock did you flash?

What bootloader and modem are currently on your phone?
What ROM were you on and what were you flashing when the troubles started?
Since you can get into download mode, can you get into Recovery Mode? If you can, try putting CM11 on a MicroSd card and flash it from CWM.

My sgs2 is stuck in a boot loop, computers won't recognize the usb connection, and my sd card won't mount on philz touch 5 V6.0.3.7 My SD card is, however, recognizable if I plug it directly to my computer using an adapter.
so I rooted my phone using CWM. After that, my computer stopped recognizing my phone. I tried everything to fix it including factory resetting my phone, formatting cache, data, system, and sd card all under the CWM boot menu (hold volup+home+power). Soon afterwards, my phone got stuck in a boot loop. On startup, it hangs on the white "Samsung" logo. While trying to fix the issue, I noticed that my sd card won't mount.
I've tried this method, but it requires that I either have usb access or access to my phone. I've tried formatting the SD card in my computer. I've tried using different computers. I've tried using different usb cords. I've tried searching Google and these forums for a solution. i have uninstalled the samsung drivers countless times and rebooted with no success.
I need to figure out a way to flash the stock rom back to my phone. In order to do this, I need to get my usb to recognize or manage to have phil touch 5 v 6.0.3.7 mount the sd card. If I can do this, the rest is easy. Does anyone has any ideas on what can be done? please please assist!

[Q] Please Help: Boot Loop after recovery. How do I go back to stock???

Hi guys,
Keep in mind: I don't know what I'm doing. I only know what tutorials say, and I don't really understand the mechanics of flashing ROMs.
Problem: I'm in a boot loop. I want to go to stock, or CM11 4.4.2 . I was recovering data after flashing CM 11 4.3 (CM installer) successfully.
I have TWRP installed, but my recovery caused my phone to enter a boot loop state. I can't access the internal storage, and I don't have a micro-sd. What is the next step? I have Odin, but I don't understand what to do. As far as I know I need to boot an image file using the phone's download function?
I have these files on my desktop, but they aren't .tar:
CM11 For T-Mobile Galaxy S3 SGH-T999 [Filename: cm-11-20131217-NIGHTLY-d2tmo.zip]
Google Apps [Filename: gapps-kk-20131119.zip]
So once I'm able to acccess my sd card I'll be a able to put those files back onto my SD and install those zips using TWRP?
I'm really out of my depth and am scared of hard bricking my phone, so please be kind!
Thanks in advance!

Don't panic! Does your phone enter Download mode and it's recognized by Odin? if so, flash the stock image via Odin, you can find the links here, read the second post on this link, it gives you detailed instructions how to flash via Odin
Make sure you're choosing the correct model, otherwise you will brick your phone!
I flashed the .tar file for the 4.1.2 JB, let Odin finishes, after that your device will be restarted, let it there for about 5-10 minutes, if it doesn't get past the samsung screen, enter to the stock recovery (vol up + menu +power), and do a factory reset, after that restart, and you should be good to go.
Hope this helps, best of luck!

[SOLVED] How do you enter recovery mode for TWRP ? (Bootloop)

Hello everyone. I was attempting to install the Liquid Smooth 3.0 Beta ROM but it said failed in red words. So i wiped again and installed my backup. Its been stuck in boot loop. I've looked and can't seem to find how to enter recovery mode. I tried holding power + volume up + home and it just restarts the phone before it gets to the boot loop screen. Also, once I get in recovery mode, what would be the next step to fix the boot loop? Right now im reinstalling the ROM I had on backup (intergalactic) . Or should I wipe and re-install the backup?
Thanks
EDIT: Found the combo ( Volume up + home ). Now restoring my backup. If this doesn't fix the bootloop what should I do? Also when I mount my USB in recovery it doesn't show up on my computer.

If you get to recovery mode, try doing a hard wipe/reset to return your phone to its original settings. You will lose all saved data so please keep your backup. Your phone may not be recognized by the computer in recovery mode but in download mode. Are you using custom recovery or stock recovery? If custom, which one?

Good! With TWRP, you will see the wipe option on the home screen immediately you get into recovery mode. Just do the standard wipe and then reboot to system.

Sometimes, it may take several minutes after the reset for your phone to finally boot up so you may have to wait a bit before deciding it didn't work. However, do you recall what (stock) Android version you had before you attempted to flash the custom ROM?

Before I rooted? I was Jelly Bean 4.1.2 I think. But I flashed many Custom ROMs, the last one was 4.3 . The one I was installing was 4.4.2. But I dont think thats the problem, It just said failed to flash. And the back up restore was successful, just a boot loop. If I could get my computer to recognize my phone I could put my original ROM download in and flash that.

Normally, if it was just a case of your phone getting stuck in a boot loop, a hard wipe/reset will fix that. If it's still not coming on, then it could be a slightly more severe case of firmware failure which, thankfully, can be easily recovered from since you can get into download and recovery modes. Your best option now would be to flash an official (stock) ROM to get your phone back in working order. From what you've said about the firmware history, stock Android 4.3 would be your best bet as you probably have the 4.3 boot-loader already. You can download the zip file you will find in the discussion thread below and flash this via TWRP recovery. The process is fairly simple. Download the zip file to your PC - do not extract. Verify the MD5. Copy to a micro SDHC card. Place the card in your phone. Boot to recovery mode. Select install and navigate your way to the zip file you just copied. Swipe across the screen to confirm installation. Wait for installation to complete. Clear your cache/dalvik. Reboot your system. Good luck!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2658486
Before flashing custom ROMs, it is always helpful to do a lot of research as there is no easier way to brick or backdoor your phone.
NB
You need a special app to verify MD5. It's just a check to ensure you have the correct file and it downloaded correctly. If you do not have the app, check that the zip you have is about 933MB after download.

You need the first one since you are on TWRP. You are not connecting your phone to the computer at all so there is no worry about that. You only need to download the image to your computer and then copy it to an external Micro SD card using another device like a camera, phone, SDHC card reader/writer or SDHC card adapter if your PC has the required slot. Once you have the recovery image saved on to the external SD card, insert the card into your phone and boot into recovery mode. You will then install the zip from the card. This ROM should not only fix the boot loop, it will restore your phone to as near factory settings as possible including resetting your flash counter, installing the complete stock system and stock recovery.
Once you have your phone back in working order, you can revert to flashing custom ROMs but please be very careful and do all the research you need. Specifically, you should avoid any ROMs that may attempt to mess with your boot-loader.

Thanks for your help! That was a great idea, moving my SD card to a different device then putting the .zip in there and flashing from my device. Worked Perfectly. Didn't even have to use the restore file you linked me, I just re-flashed the old ROM i was using ( brand new, not the back up ). And its starting up now, all of my apps, widgets, wallpapers, and messages are exactly how I left them. Which is weird because of how many times I wiped and the fact that I re-flashed a brand new ROM lol.
Man this makes me not want to change ROMs anymore. Small stuff like this makes me paranoid. I don't have a back up phone lol

Glad to know your phone is now functioning normally. One of your earlier restore operations probably restored your data whilst the new ROM you flashed restored the system without deleting data. Thankfully, you didn't lose anything. Now the phone is back to normal, please be careful with flashing ROMs especially custom ones.

Samsung Galaxy s3 (AT&T) - i747 HELP! Need Signed stock rom?

So I bricked my phone... yep
Basically, what I did was I flashed a stock rom for the international version of the GS3 instead of my AT&T version, which caused it to brick
But that's okay because I did the SD Card thing where you use the debrick.img on the card, which this is my second time doing this, so I'm used to it.
I got it to boot up.
But here's the problem:
I have no way of connecting the phone to a computer because the charging port in the phone is broken! So I'm stuck using the stock recovery, and every time I try to flash a stock rom, via SD card, it gives me the error:
E:Signature Verification Failed
I've tried a couple of different stock roms even from SamMobile.com but none of them seem to work.
So where can I find a signed, verified stock rom that will pass the test and allow me to flash the rom with the SD card?
Or is there some other workaround?

I've never used a debrick image, so I don't know if this would work. Just an idea to try and get around the broken USB port.
Could you root the debrick ROM with some app based method like Towelroot? It is probably vulnerable unless it is based on one of the newest stock ROMs. Once you have root, use an app like Flashify to flash a custom recovery, and then you should be able to flash back anything you need.
I'm not sure what you mean, I don't think the debrick img is a rom because my phone won't boot passed the GS3 screen. There's no way to get into the phone, all I have is download mode and stock recovery and that's it.

My mistake. I thought the debrick images got you into a working stock rom, just based off your external SD. Thankfully I've never had to use one.
