I pulled the sd card while the phone was on and now it wont start.
its boots into custom recovery. but hangs on android logo when i try to boot it.
What should i do?
I would reflash your custom rom, but I'm not 100% sure that would fix it.
backup sd card. reflash the whole rom,(wipe all data,factory reset..etc) don't know if it will work,.
Try booting without the sd card.

Re-flash the ROM again via recovery or if you're on stock then use KDZ to go back to stock ROM.

You mean pulling out the memory card when the phone is on?? Oh I get it...
thank you, it worked.
I reflashed my rom Prime v2 and it worked.
Usually when such thing happened, I go to recovery and repair sd ext. partition.
That should work.
But then again, only if you have apps2sd in your ROM

I don't know what I'd doing wrong, I'm using the update.zip file in the noob guide to get clockwork recovery after im stock and then i try to install cyanongen mod and it boot loops and only attempts to flash for about a second. I wipe the data and cache every time. I also formatted both the phone and the sd card seeing if a file was an issue. What am I missing?

Hmmm... Try this. After you flash CM7 and it starts boot looping do a battery pull, and boot back into recovery. Now go and flash CM7 again but do not do anything else, just flash it again.
Tell me if this works for you.

You are a genius!!! I spent forever trying to figure it out! That worked, I still cant figure out why it ever happened in the first place. I've flashed a decent amount of times now and haven't had anything similar happen. I really appreciate the help!
It's no problem. Whenever I flash Miui (which is based off of Cyanogen) from stock 2.1 I get the same boot loop issue. Not exactly sure why it happens though.

Ok, I made a schoolboy error and think I have softbricked my phone.
I just got it this morning and have rooted it through ODIN. I was going to install a ROM but when in recovery I went and used the Superwipe app and then rebooted (don't ask) and it is now stuck on the Samsung logo screen. I can boot into recovery but of course no backup as its been wiped.
I am downloading a Stock Official and going to install through ODIN. I assume this is the right way to getting back to stock and starting again to unsoftbrick my SIII?
Its the first time I have ever arsed up. Its not nice lol

Yup, as long as you can get to download mode, you can use odin and flash back to stock.

I have the exact problem as you,but I couldn't flash the stock rom for my country..via Odin
Don't bother with superwipe, just wipe data/factory reset in cwm and of you really feel the need you can format system under mounts and storage in cwm.
Just make sure you have something to flash already on your phone before you do, and don't reboot after formatting system.
Flashing stock via Odin will fix your problem now.

Thanks. I dont usually format and have no idea why I thought it was a good idea to do it this time. I was going to mount internal storage through CWM and put the ROM on it but there was no option to mount it.
EDIT - All sorted. Thanks for the info
If you know how to use adb you could put the ROM on your sdcard through cwm.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Or if you're not comfortable with adb and got an external SD, put the external SD in your PC and transfer the cwm rom to that and flash it from external SD on your phone
if i helped-hit thanx
OK so Im on AOKP milestone 6 with the devil kernel and i went in to recovery to wipe cache and dalvik cache and when i pressed reboot system it goes back to recovery!!!! please help as I really don't want to reflash everything!!! Thanks.
I had this same problem until I flashed TWRP. When I rebooted, it instead loaded the OS, but it still had Devil Recovery. WTF?
Have you tried re-flashing the rom without wiping data?

I can't flash anything because i can't put anything on the sd card because i cant get out of recovery!

Try flashing CWM recovery again using Heimdall or Odin. Once it boots into recovery, flash TWRP or another recovery of your choice, then reboot and hopefully you will see your boot animation. That's what I did to get AOKP build 40 to boot again (though strangely enough, it's stuck with Devil recovery even after flashing TWRP). Hope this helps you guys out. And be sure to make backups!

Again, how can i put twrp on my sd card if i'm stuck in recovery? Is there a link for an odin version of twrp
You should be able to mount your SD card in recovery anyway. If not, take it out and insert it into an adapter to plug into your computer. I don't know if there's an Odin version of TWRP, I flashed it in CWM recovery.
I would read droid styles guide first if you have not yet as it has all the answers you will need. You just need to read through it and following the directions.

If you're using CWM, it's under Advanced or Mounts and Storage. Plug in the USB cable like you normally would.

I try to install twrp but it says installation aborted. I'm really starting to get sick of this phone and its stability issues.
You got the zip, right? It's in the Fascinate development section of the forums.
There is nothing wrong with the phone. I don't understand why you can't just Odin back to stock and start over. With the amount of time you have been stuck in recovery you could have fixed it by now. It you could follow droid styles guide to get out of the recovery loop without going back to stock. Something tells me you really just want a new phone...am I close???

Don't you belong in a different section?
Anyway, sorry for getting snippy, I was just really tired and frustrated. I did use the .zip from the forums.
If you've already tried Heimdall-flashing CWM again, and that didn't work, then I suggest you Odin back to stock as shelby suggested. If you haven't made a nandroid already, do so, then revert back to stock and start from scratch. You can try restoring your nandroid once you're no longer stuck in recovery.

I have a mez and I just got the sgs3 a little while ago. You need to check out section 8 or 9 I think of the guide. It tells you exactly how to get out of your situation.

There's also a topic about the "three-finger recovery boot loop" fix. You could try that.
Hi guys,
I basically wiped my phone and completely forgot to copy the ROM I wanted to flash into my ext SD card. Now, the phone has no ROM to boot into and I need to be able to mount it onto Windows from within the recovery to be able to do it. I'm running CWM 6.0.2.7
Has anyone ever done this? What should I do?
Thanks
Wipe data doesn't mean format (like PC) it's just a factory reset
you can flash any official FW for your device by Odin
So it isn't possible for Windows to detect the phone in any way so I can copy the ROM into it?
It's possible by using ADB and push it
but why you don't boot up your device and copy it?
Use adb to push the file onto the card. Or remove ext. SD card and use a reader to copy it over.
Here is a good adb interface, it has easy push/pull where you just supply the two file paths and hit go,

Thanks for the prompt replies everyone.
I just re-flashed an original FW through Odin, rooted it back, re-installed CWM Recovery and now tried to flash a new rom, in this case, Foxhound and after it tries to reboot it comes back into CWM always... it never boots into the ROM..
Anyone has any clue why this would be happening?

The ROM? Just did and the same thing happens, boots up to Samsun Galaxy logo, then that "eye" logo then reboots again into CWM. At all times.
I just installed Omega just to try it out and it works, boots into the ROM, with Foxhound it doesn't even reach the Foxhound Logo, it reboots and goes back to CWM... Any ideas? I can't post in the Foxhound thread due to lack of posts
Flash stock Rom, and allow it to boot up properly before you do anything else....did you do that?

Yes, two times already. Then rooted, then flashed CWM Recovery then wiped data etc, flashed foxhound and same thing happens. Tried Omega and it boots into it, it's only Foxhound and I really wanted to try it...
I'm sorry this thread has derailed into another issue but thought it wasn't worth cluttering with yet another thread.
Is it possible to shut down the phone from CWM Recovery aside from doing a battery pull?
Could be a bad download. Try downloading again.
Hey all
My phone was working great, everything smooth and awesome, but then i turned it off, and boot loop.
I tried reflashing my ROM, (ARHD) But that didn't work
Help!!
Have you tried looking at any of the solutions listed in any of the other hundreds of "Bricked" threads?
Obligatory "search" is your friend statement. If you can get into fastboot, if you can get into recovery, you're not bricked. Restore from your NAND backup, or flash your ROM again.
Like unremarked said, your best weapon is the search box
So you have:
1. Booted to recovery successfully?
2. Already tried flashing your ROM via TWRP/CWM?
