Hello,
I have been trying to fix my phone all day, searching various forums online, but I haven't been able to find anything.
I rooted my phone about 10 months ago, I just installed CWM and the rootkit. No custom ROM or Kernel. I used very popular apps such as Greenify and a few others. I didn't touch anything else or do anything fancy.
When I woke up this morning, I grabbed my phone to check the time, opened Chrome for some browsing and suddenly my screen froze. I thought it was just going to freeze for a few seconds but it ended up crashing entirely and I couldn't reboot at all.
I tried plugging it into my computer but it wasn't recognized at all. The Samsung USB Drivers didn't work and Odin didn't recognize it either. I couldn't boot into Recovery or Download mode anyway.
After searching for hours, I found this : ht tp:/ /w w w.droidsavvy. co m/unbrick-qualcomm-mobiles/
I followed all the steps but ended up getting stuck with some error during the QFIL processus. I was about to give up when suddenly my phone started vibrating, and the "Battery charging" logo appeared (it's now fully charged).
I could access download mode, so I tried installing USB drivers again and somehow my phone was finally recognized by Odin. I reinstalled CWM 6.0.5.1 and was able to enter recovery mode. I also flashed a stock ROM with Odin.
Using ABP, I was able to backup all my photos. After backing up everything, I wiped the cache and started a factory reset through CWM. But then, my phone crashed and got stuck in the bootloop again. I tried to wipe the dalvik cache but it crashed as well. I tried to install the rootkit again (why the hell not) but it crashed too. Each time it crashed at "Disabling OTA survival"
I tried factory reseting through ADB but it doesn't work either.
I looked at many different solutions to fix it, but none of them worked :/
To sum it up (TLDR):
- Phone stuck in bootloop
- Phone is recognized by my PC (Odin, ADB)
- Can access both recovery and download mode
- Flashing new ROM didn't do anything
- Can't wipe dalvik cache or do factory reset

Hey guys. So about a month ago I went to go install a new rom, (Liquid Smooth 2.10) and everything installed correctly with no errors in cwm recovery, so I thought. I went go to restart the phone after flashing my new rom to try it out (Yes I did the factory reset/wipe data before I flashed) and when it was booting it got stuck. I restarted it and tried again. The same thing happened. I tried booting into recovery and it took awhile longer. When I get in there it said that it couldn't mount the /cache and when I went to wipe it it had said it can't mount /data either.
I then decided to go into download mode and boot up odin but my phone isn't detected by my computer in download mode.
Does anyone know anything I could try to get my phone working again?
I've temporally switched to the Galaxy Nexus but I miss my S3 :crying:
I have a little experience with custom roms and rooting, but i have not yet set anything back to stock. I tried to set my GT-S7560m back to stock with a stock rom from sammobile(dot)com. I flashed it with odin like normal, and it said everything was good, but the phone never booted.
It got past displaying the model but got stuck at the samsung flashing while booting. I have left it at the screen for 30 minutes hoping it would boot, but no luck. I removed the battery for a day and tried to boot again and still no luck.
I read somewhere that sometimes help if you can clear the cashe but i can not enter the recovery(I can still enter download mode). I have noticed when i try and enter the recovery when the phone is plugged into the computer it just keeps saying disconnecting and reconnecting, with nothing on the phone it self.
I also tryed to use samsung kies to reset it but it just told me this device was not supported or something similar to that.
Now i have tried anything that i have found, i am willing to try just about anything, any help or input would be appreciated.
My Friend's Galaxy Nexus boots up into CyanogenMOD for 40-50 seconds and then suddenly the phone starts rebooting. After the reboot, it again boots up and again reboots, this goes on untill the battery gets completely drained.
I tried to Wipe System, Data, Cache, but TWRP doesnt do anything. Also i tried to update TWRP via fastboot, though the CMD terminal says its updated still no luck as it is stuck with the previous version of TWRP. Also tried flashing CWM but yet again no luck with it. Same Error
I tried to use ODIN and flashed stock ROM! Still no luck! Anyone having solution to this problem? Phone always boots up for 40-50 seconds!
can't flash via odin (even though it says "passed"), can't enter recovery mode, stuck
I got the phone around 2012, rooted it and couldn´t update it for the next years. This month, the samsung note app started to crash repeatly. So I tried a custom rom and I stuck with one. That also had the problem of crashing an app, but deleting it solved it the easy way. Although sometimes my phone restartet when my memory was too full and I tried to execute a new app. Yesterday my phone just crashed and went into bootloop without even touching it and now I have these problems:
-boot loop
-can`t enter recovery mode (it load it up but after the CMW Icon appears, it's going back to the loop
-can`t flash via odin (it says passed though, but from the looks of it nothing changes)
Download mode is possible. I tried stock roms, different bootloaders, different custom roms, samsung kies recovery, holding the battery in different ways, different recovery (even though the logo stays the same), different usb ports, disabled kies, reinstalled kies
Phone "doctor" said the motherboard might be broken, which seems to be a common problem for this phone.
So i tried to unroot my phone via magisk...and it just ****ed me it seems.
It bootloops with first the "this phones bootloader is unlocked..." and then samsung logo with the warning triangle about it not running official samsung software etc.
I cant boot into download mode by going into recovery (it gets stuck on starting fastboot ( the red text )). And i cant hold up and down volume + usb cable to go straight into download either.
after none of these things worked i tried clear cache and wipe data/factory reset with no luck.
i also tried reinstalling magisk from the zip on SD card but got some error and nothing changed.
Am i dooomed? Any tips will be sooo insanely appreciated!

ok... i tried another usb cable and it worked getting into download mode. Now i just gotta find the easiest way to get the phone back to stock.
I have the same problem here with my Ultra S20. How did you fix it?? Mine's been stuck all day.. I can get to the recovery menu but not to the download mode.
This happened to me too. I just reflashed the stock firmware and rooted it again etc. It was the only way i could get it back working again.
Install TWRP........
Would have saved your ass.
Also, forndownload mode AND to enter TWRP, use a decent usb cable connected to a computer or laptop.
