Ok so I'm fairly new to the rooting scene, and these forums, but so far everything has been pretty good, except for one small problem. I installed a custom boot logo, and afterwards my phone was lagging a bit. I contacted the boot logo programmer, with no response, so I decided to wipe my system and use the backup from right before I installed the custom boot logo. Unfortunately, the boot logo has not changed, and my phone 'fails' whenever I try to flash something from Odin. Anyone know what to do in this situation.
If you want to do a full wipe of you device,cos it sounds like tha boot logo is corrupt,then boot to recovery and wipe cache partition and dalvik cache.then go to "storage and mounts" and format system,data and cache.Select "Go Back" and factory reset your phone and reboot.If it doesnt go past the boot logo after 1min then pull the battery,put it back in and turn it back on.Its a pain in the arse but it will completely clean up your device and if you where rooted you will need to probably reroot but berfore hand plug in your phone to your PC so it gets recognized again.
EDIT:Just incase,first of all download titanium backup from the market and backup your apps!!!!

You need to wipe usb storage, sd card, then put phone in download mode, flash stock ROM using Odin. You need to fully wipe everything.

I've trying reflashing the stock ROM and kernel; however, it gives me a FAIL and says can't open the serial (COM) port.
I have solved the problem by closing Samsung Kies and wiping the system, thanks for all the help offered.

anyone know how to flash back to stock rom from slimbean? i flash slimbeam onto my phone, and i wanna flash it back to stock now... i found it on google saying that just direct flash with odin, but my phone now is stuck on start up page with a samsung logo in the middle. is my phone bricked? :crying:
First off, what phone do you have? I.e. what model of the SGS3?
Secondly, if it doesn't proceed from the first boot logo, try going into your recovery (if you have one) with Power+Home+Volume Up and then select to factory reset your phone. The easiest would be to flash cf-root, which provides clockworkmodrecovery, and then boot into it and select to wipe data.
I suspect that it hanged at the boot logo because ODIN doesn't wipe any data while flashing, so the left-over data from Slimbean is still there.
it worked!

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!!
Hey guys.
So the phone had this problem where it was stuck on the samsung Logo, so i flashed a complete stock Jellybean build (all correct and stuff, not a beginner ), also wiped data from recov just in case
Now heres the problem...
when the phone boots up, it goes through the first time "Optimizing Apps", but once it reaches a certain number, ittl reboot the phone then start going through it again and again.
Anyway i could somehow make the phone actually boot? Any help?
Thanks in advance
If you can enter recovery, do the wipes and a factory reset, then try to boot.
If you're in the same situation, flash the stock JB update using Odin and a pc. That will wipe your phone. Then flash TWRP for your recovery using Odin and a pc.
You will need to have the correct type of file for Odin.
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.
Sent from my Nexus 7 (2013)
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...
Hi all,
Sigh. So it looks like I bricked my Samsung Tab E Verizon. I rooted it with King root and when I removed it, it is now in a endless boot loop. I've tried all sorts of things to try and recover it.
I used SkipSoft to set it up to be flashed but odin fails everytime. I was using the new ROMS found on this Forum. I've tried putting it into download mode and manually flash it and that didn't work. I can't Re-Root it as it won't stay on long enough to Root and they always fail. Right now I'm at a loss.
Can anyone help?
Thanks.
Do you have custom recovery or default? if you have default you can hold the home button and vol up button then the power button to get into recovery, once your done with that you can wipe cache and reboot, if that STILL does not work then factory reset your phone and re wipe cache, i know losing data sucks but its better then a brick. (this will work 99% of the time because the default recovery automatically re-installs stock rom)
If you have a custom recovery, then i recommend wiping everything including dalvik cache etc, making sure EVERYTHING is squeakly clean (execpt recovery obviously) , and find the driver for your samsung phone and download it on your computer and install, once you are done with that, put your phone into download mode, find your original STOCK rom for your phone, download it and flash it with odin, from there IF successfull you should have a fresh boot of your stock rom, then you can re-root and go on with your day.
Also make sure once you re-gain root access backup your rom so you will always have a plan b if everything goes bad. i cannot recommend this enough, even if you are an expert with flashing, there is always that small percentage things will go wrong and you should always have that backup ready.
Hi!
Thank you very much for the reply. You know, that was one of the things i tried initially when it happened. When I tried it, it wouldn't go into recovery mode. I then went on the odyssey of hell in trying to recover it.
When I read your post I was thinking; "Yeah I tried that", but then I thought I would give it another shot. I went into Factory Reset, it then actually went into the recovery menu. I deleted the cache and set it to data/factory reset and it's still looping. I get an error saying; "E:failed to mount /preload (no such directory)". I then tried to run update from external storage and it's telling me that it's disabled. I tried to update from ADB and it's disabled. I tried to apply from cache and it says; "APPLY_CACHE is depreciated". It's still looping.
Urghhhhhhhhh.......
