Okay I was running the older Thunderstick rom and I wanted to try out the new version. I downloaded only the update though and flashed that without realizing thats what I had done. So I am now stuck at the splash screen and I can't do anything. I have wiped data, cache, done a recovery, and tried to pull the battery as well. What can I do to get it off of the splash screen?
I go into recovery via the adb port if anyone is wondering. But even going back to the old recovery I can't get past the splash screen. I even tried another backup as well but to no avail.
Fixed the issue. Rebooted into recovery mounted SD card and put a new radio file and new rom on the card and flashed both over. Working now.

So I got my Gtablet today and after charging I immediately began to flash a new rom. My first step was to install CWM. I downloaded CWM internal and loaded the two files onto the root of the internal sdcard. It initially booted into CWM. I rebooted. It would boot into the stock rom but would not load CWM. I would press the + volume and power. Every time it would hang at the birds. I attempted to delete CWM from the internal card and reinstall. No luck. So I searched around the boards and someone mentioned they had the same problem and fixed it by resetting to factory in the settings menu. I tried that. It immediately rebooted and now it hangs at the birds. It says loading recovery kernel but nothing happens. It won't load into the stock rom. It hangs and says loading recovery kernel image, but doesn't do anything. So as of now my brand new gtablet isn't working.
Any advice?
Sounds like you have a 1.2 bootloader and tried to load CWM for the 1.1 version. You'll probably need to nvflash a good stock recovery image into place to let it finish that data wipe or nvflash back to a factory stock condition.
Hi Guys,
I've rooted my S3, and installed PhilZ Touch 5. Then I clear Data/Factory & Cache along with Delvik. I then proceed to install the custom rom from a zip.
It all installs fine, and says it has done so. But when it reboots, it gets stuck on the GalaxyS3 logo, with a little red Exclimatin mark in the top left corner and stays on that screen until I remove battery or reboot into download or recovery mode...
It seems I just can't load the newley installed roms. I've tried multipul, Archidroid, LiquidSmoot, pureLook HD, etc..
Has anyone run into this problem?
Its an Australian S3, so its the International i9300 btw.
Thanks in advance for any help!
Also, is there a way to completely wipe the phone and start from scratch, as I keep seeing ArchiDroid folders in the SD.
To start completely new you can use mega wipe. It will delete anything but the ext sdcard, hence be careful.

Thanks, I'm thinking a MegaWipe would be the best bet, and then start fresh with a custom rom. I need to read more first so I don't screw up the phone..
just to update. the problem was solved with a mega wipe, i installed a new rom, and everything booted normally .
thanksssss
same problem i think except the red exclamation on the corner
Mr. John. i have the same problem now. You removed the battery after being stucked at the logo of samsung right? i wonder, were you able to go back to the home screen after removing the battery? thanks

No, if the phone won't boot after installing a new rom then no amount of battery pulling is going to make it boot.
Flash the super wipe .zip from recovery, assuming you've followed the instructions from your rom chef correctly.
survived the stucked screen

I already escaped the stuck screen. thankfully i have a nandroid back up (and i can still access the recovery mode). i was able to recover my old phone status.
thank you!
I was able to boot into recover & download mode, I was able to flash via odin any custom recovery and boot into it, I was able to wipe the cache/settings & delvik via recovery and then install any rom I liked, I could however not boot into any new/custom rom.
I then ran the MEGAWIPE.Zip in Philz, which I believe wiped some framework or something that was left behind stopping new roms to boot. I then installed a New rom, and it booted right away. No trouble what so ever...
So I have been following the unofficial cm-10.2 ROM. I have dirty flashed probably 3 times without issue. I flash the ROM, a pinlock removal zip and gapps. Then wipe dalvik/cache and reboot. I started doing this with twrp 2.6.
So this morning I grab the latest update, backup, flash.l, reboot.... nothing.
Stuck at LG logo to a black screen. I can get into bootloader, blindly vol down twice and into recovery, now twrp 2.5, so I try to recover by backup, reboot.... black screen.
So I try wiping/factory reset, clean flash, reboot.... black screen...
Now I am a little concerned. I read up and find out about TeenyBin, so I setup my machine to flash the standard zip and that doesn't really work, it flashes fine, reboots but is stuck at LG logo and the tool reports disconnected, so the tool fails kind of. So I try the alternate, same sort of thing, but now it says Google instead of LG and is stuck there. I can get into bootloader, can see text now (nice!) and get into recovery, still 2.5. Tried restoring, wiping/flashing, nothing working..... stuck at Google logo.
So, then I went and formatted internal storage. Bingo! Now I can flash/restore/whatever and I can reboot and get into ROM!
Woah, woah, woah... Not so fast.
So now if I wipe anything, cache/dalvik/system/ANYTHING it soft bricks. I have to again format internal, then flash. That doesn't seem right to me. Sure, I have a functioning phone, but updating is a bigger ***** now that I have to completely format before flashing.
So my question to you all, how do I fix this? Do I need to completely go back to stock image and reroot? I appreciate all your suggestions.

Give CWM a shot and see if it does the same thing?
I was on JB rom and updated to the new beta test rom and the following happened.
I installed 2.0.0 Beta on phone not storage card. I then made a back up before I flashed the rom then wiped cache, dalvic cache and system three times. I then installed rom, it booted up to my unlock pattern screen.
Now here is the problem every time I put in my unlock pattern the phone goes black comes back on to the unlock pattern screen again? I must have put in my unlock pattern 10 times and 10 times it goes black and starts up in the unlock screen. This does not appear to be a reboot more like a small shut down? I pulled battery same thing, I reinstalled 2.0.0 Beta, same thing.
So I restored my backup and the phone now goes to the boot up Samsung screen and tone, then goes to unlock pattern for a few seconds and back to Samsung boot up screen? Pulled the battery twice and same thing happened will not go pass the boot up Samsung screen and tone.
So I then go to recovery wipe everything Cache, dalvic, data and system. Restore the back up again and the phone does the same thing goes to the boot up Samsung screen and tone, then goes to unlock pattern for a few seconds and back to Samsung boot up screen? Keep just doing this pattern?
I then tried to restore to stock using ODIN and installed N900PVPUBMI5_N900PSPTBMI5_N900PVPUBMI5_HOME.tar.m d5 from JB's file and I get a fail each time?
I then downloaded KERNEL-SPR-N900PVPUBMI3-1378528567.tar and it installed passed but now I am stuck in the Samsung screen?
Any help with clear directions to unroot and restore to stock rom with location of files to use I would be grateful for.
I guess I am just screwed?

This is a case of calm down too much flashing and restoring.
Do you know what firmware you are on?
I know people were having problems if they were on mj4 and tried to odin mi3 or mi5. You need to read some of the posts already posted about how to get out of trouble...lots of good suggestions if you read

Ok well its looks like I a without a phone of course tech support on the phone sends me to the store. Store tech support cant do anything. Since the phone is over 30 day old they will give me a refurbished phone. But that's a problem there are none so they tell me to call Samsung??
So now I a on the phone with sprint but looks like in the end I a pounding sand. Without a mj4.tar to push with odin I have a brick!!!

I get samsung screen and song that goes black and I get samsung note 3 screen and music. Screen goes black and it keeps on repeating itself?

Try this might work: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2507403
First off I am on mdk and rooted and up until today have been running hd 10.2. I had been having some weird things happen with twrp 2502 so I went into goo and tried to update to the newest version of twrp. it downloaded and went through with everything and I rebooted into recovery. once I got into recovery it was showing I was still on 2502, but it was asking for a password which I had never seen before. I backed out and tried to boot into my rom again and it got stuck on the samsung custom screen. pulled the battery a few times and still kept getting stuck. went back into recovery and tried to restore a known good backup that I had restored before, but it keeps failing. I had rls12 on my phone so I tried installing it dirty since I cant wipe anything due to the whole password thing in twrp which said it was succesful but still gets stuck on the samsung custom screen. it sits there for about 10 seconds and loops. I tried about 10 more times to get my backup restored and it finally finished and booted into the rom. I left it this way for an hour or so and did some stuff with my phone, tried to update twrp again which did the same thing again and still shows 2502. after the reboot I am back to the same problem of not being able to do anything in twrp except restore or dirty flash, I cant get the usb to mount in twrp so I cant try putting another rom on the phone unless I go and buy a micro sd adapter.
I am in the process of downloading a stock mdk rom to try and flash in odin, but is there anything I can try before I go through with this, or is it pretty much my only option.
after some more research I think I figured out what caused all this. I wiped the data partition with the old version of twrp which screwed it up pretty bad. Apparently the older versions of twrp were known to have this problem. I kept trying to restore, but trying to restore kept failing on the data partition. After about 25 attempts of trying to restore just the data partition I was able to get it to work finally, and then I restored the the others and got it to boot back into the rom. like an idiot I rebooted the phone back into recovery after it finished and had the same problem again. another couple hours wasted trying to restore the data partition and it worked again and this time i was able to get twrp to update and then went back to recovery and formated the data partition again and it seems to have fixed the problem. Now to figure out why hd rls 12 wont install.
