Let me just start by saying i am aware that there is a forum already for this which says dont post any other threads about boot loops. but i have searched all through that forum and no one has responded to my thread. im hoping that by posting a new thread more people will see it. so here is the problem.
I tried lite'ning rom to root my phone and my phone got stuck in a boot loop. since then i have tried everything i can find on the forums. in recovery mode i have wiped to factory, wiped cache partition, wiped everything i could. i can access recovery mode and download mode but i cant force mount my external sd, internal sd or even cache.
i tried flashing with my stock rom and villain 1.1 but im still stuck in boot mode. hope someone has an idea of what i can try.

Hey guys, first off this is not a thread to ask for how to get out of a boot loop, so don't flame me before reading it.
I've been running various Stock roms, KG2/KI3/KJ2 which are all flashed through Odin and work fine, but I can't seem to flash ANY roms at all using CWM, I've tried wiping the cache and wiping user data before flashing but everytime I use CWM to flash my phone gets stuck in a boot loop, tried various roms and they all get stuck in boot loop which I have to use Odin to fix and root so I can get CWM again, but out of the 5 or so roms I've flashed with CWM they all seem to put the phone into a boot loop. Anyone have any ideas on what I may be doing wrong?
I know how to fix the boot loop, what I want to know is how the heck do I get roms to run when flashed using CWM. I've used CWM on numerous other android devices and I'm pretty sure I'm flashing it right (clear user data, clear cache, install zip from sdcard). I mean its not rocket science. Would really appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks.
Have you tried flashing it twice in a row, without reboot in-between?
That I haven't tried. I'll give it a try. Cause nothing seems to be working.
Ok, just tried double flashing without rebooting and it still does the boot loop.
Attempting to install a new ROM, so wiped all data, did a restore to factory settings and wiped Dalvik Cache. Realised new ROM wasn't on memory card, so tried to boot up, and it just keeps showing the (stock) boot animation.
Can access recovery (CWM 5.0.2.6), so what is the best way to get my phone back up and running?
flash new rom using cwm.
or, if u could enter to download mode. flash stock using odin
Thanks, managed to get a ROM and installed it, and is working!
try to read Q&A thread for future reference.
helps alot. really.. no.. seriously..
Noob Q . I want to reformat my internal and external sd card and just wondering if that would affect the Rom and kernel. In other words , will my phone still turn on after i do this action? will it also affect the cwm recovery. Any info is much appreciated, sorry if im such a noob. Thanks
P.S. i have tried searching before posting and couldn't
find the answer im looking for.
So i have actually tried reformat internal and external sd card through cwm recovery, after reformat i just boot system and it did but when i check some pics files it shows the nmber that it's still there but doesnt show the pictures so i figure maybe i should reboot and then thats when i got stuck to boot loop , i was thinking while rebooting that maybe i should have clear cache and dalvik . The problem is the phone is unable to boot into dload or cwm recovery, i also have done battery pull , stuck at the rom boot animation. Need help ,any info is much appreciated. thanks.
Edit: after few tries i was able to boot into cwm recovery , so i just did a clean reinstall of my rom, everythings fine now. But i still wonder
why it happen, what did i do wrong. By the way even after the reinstall i still got boot loop , it finally boot after factory reset in cwm.
2ndEDIT: And the problem is the kernel version 3.2.8 siyah , found out at the kernel thread.
I've taken on a bit more than qualified I guess as I rooted my att GS3 just fine and flashed a new aokp rom and was up and running but started to have intermitent flickering. It prompted me to reflash rom with CM10 and this is were my problems began. I wiped data/factory reset, cache partition,Dalvik cache, mounts & storage format cache, and accidentally format emmc which I think is my problem. I was able to still reboot to CWM recovery but I can't do much more than that, and now I can't get to CWM recovery mode at all. Have tried to boot and reflash from ex/sdcard no good. PC doesn't recognize phone to do recovery from backup and I didn't do internal backup which I now know was dumb. Is there anything I can do to get back up and running or did I screw myself and have to get a new phone? PLEASE HELP HELP HELP!!!!!!!!!
Buddy... first your phone is ATT GS3. and this forum is for INTERNATIONAL GS3. so if you flashed the rom downloaded from THIS forum than might be possible... the correct forum for your device is here:

I hope and pray your phone will be ok... I love this device...
Hey,
First off i hope i have put this on the right sub forum.
I've been stupid (I Think) I've olso looked around on the forum and the [READ THIS] Got a Boot Loop? Don't post a New Thread!
topic.
I'm using my SGS2 for a year now and was using the ressurexionRimix rom for a while.
I've been plaing around with my phone so i got lots of folder that were not used etc, so I wanted to get it back to factory settings, here is when all went down.
Via Settings-Backup and recovery i gave my phone a factory reset (while using the latest ressurexionremix rom, i think this is the misstake i made) When my phone went into the reboot is got stuck on the splash screen, it kept reapeeting the boot animation.
The second mistake i mad was not puting back my back-up but thought well i want it back to it's first state so i'll use ODIN to flash the stock ROM onto it. now, 4 hours later and about 10 trys with diferent versions of the stock roms i'm still stuck on the boot screen.
I've also tryd flashing a cwm so i could get in cwm recovery, this also without any luck
Does anyone have a idea what to do!?
go back to recovery - mounts andstorage and format the following :
cache, system, data, sdcards if you have it in recovery. reboot
you have a bkank screen as your phone has been wiped. reboot into download mode.
Connect odin and flash a stock rom. reboot and your phone should work provided that you have not damaged the flash chip on the motherboard.
Is this in CWM? the problem is i dont have that anymore because i've flashed it toc stok. I now get in the Android system recovery
The option i get there ar:
Reboot system now
apply update from external storage
Wype data/factory reset
Wipe cache parition
apply update from cash
test redbend fola[FS]
Will try this, thank..will let you know if it worked
Wiped data/factory reset and cache after this i ebooted my phone and i got the message installing application, now i'm in the setup menu. Looks like it is working.
Did'nt realice there was a recovery besides CWM Thank yoy so much Cosmic Blue!!! You saved my life!!
