The only thing the phone will do is go into download mode, it won't go into recovery mode even though I made a Nandroid backup with CWM.
Does anybody have any suggestions?
Sorry I can't help but why in hell did you delete the build.prop?

What carrier do you have? Go into the respective carrier dev section and download the stock version and flash since you can still get into download mode.
Odin stock .tar

I did not mean to, I first renamed build.prop.bak to build.prop then I had two files named build.prop I chose the old one to delete and then they both got deleted. This was rom toolbox lite's doing.
my carrier is ROGERS in canada it is the SGH-I747M version of the phone.
but if the stock.tar will work, should'nt the clockworkmod.tar that I used to root the phone work as well?
build.prop is very sensitive on GS3 , i mistyped false , and it softbricked would not boot up , fortunately i am not a noob and had nandroid backup and CWM flashable rom on internal sd card, incase backup failed.
Lesson here is always to have backup .
I did a nandroid backup as well, but it won't let me go into recovery mode to do a restore.
Is it okay to flash an AT&T rom to a Rogers device or should I wait for a stock Rogers ROM? ( they are both model number SGH-I747M)
T-mobile rom worked on my AT&T GS3 , but it was without modem or kernel.
Wrong modem or kernel can mess things up.
Strange that you cant get into recovery , was it working before ? Power+Home+Volume Up , you wait till first samsung message then release all buttons.

Thanks guys I was able to get into recovery mode and do the nandroid restore, by taking out the battery, and restarting. Thanks to another thread in the forum with the right tip.

I tried to install this ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1033653) on my friends Optimus T and something went wrong. I followed the instructions to the letter and after the format of the /system i couldn't actually flash the ROM because everything got deleted so i tried to restore the NANDROID that i had made and i couldn't because there was nothing there and now it just hangs at the boot up screen! PLEASE help me get this fixed
Well... may seem a bit obvious have you tried flashing a different rom from recovery yet? If you get really desperate I can supply you with the kdz file for titanium optimus 509.
Or u cud start a fresh wipe your sd card and store on of your fav roms on it and then flash it with recovery..Start afresh..If u can boot into recovery then no worries

I used clockwork recovery to do so. assuming you can get to recovery which from turned off hold volume down+home then power. If you can;t get to recovery you will probably have to use this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865479 however you would have to do it from emergency mode instead
Only two options:
1. If you can access the Recovery menu, then clear everything and flash a ROM again.
2. If you cannot, just flashed an official fimware back with kdz (use the links provided in the posts above). Then start all over again.
Simple

I think the issue your having is that adding the ext partion formats the sd card. Thus, the zip you are trying to flash is no longer there and you nandroid was deleted also. Boot back into recovery and select the usb mount option, transfer the zip you want to flash and then flash it. Simples
Ciaox simply missed the line out where is should say copy *************.zip to sd card before the bit about flashing it. I think this time following the instructions to closely caused this lol Man up

If you want a fresh start just format system whilst performing your wipes. Only do this with a safe kernel as anything based on stock 4.0.4 will brick your phone. When I ever change ROMs I just run wipes and format system then flash my chosen rom. That is the correct site and you can flash any rom for your phone regardless of region. EFS back up is a separate tool which you download on to your pc which then backs up the EFS folder. There are other apps that do this too. I use them all, can never have too many copies of it.

So if I just do all the wipes, it should be all good? There is a lot of files that I don't want if they don't belong to my rom, should I delete some or what should I do? The basic thing I am trying to do is only have files from apps that I have and ones that the rom needs.

I understand what you're after factory reset, wipe dalvik and format system will give you a clean installation in terms of rom. If it's a complete wipe you can wipe the sd card from setting /backup and reset. But this will wipe music photos too. Once rooted you can always browse the directories and manually delete any unwanted files/folders. Please check your kernel first.

How to stock > custom rom > 100% same stock?
Hello,
did not want to start new thread with same name, but my question a little different.
So I bought S2 and I would like to play with some custom ROM of course. Not my first Android phone, but new phone new unknown things.
I read many post, but it is still not clear if I can make my stock rom and kernel backup, then root it, have some fun and if I need just restore stock rom and kernel and every thing would be as it was new?
I understand how to root and this CF-Root in Stock Recovery method looks like can do this. But will it be that way?
For example, with this method I have my stock kernel backup, also make stock rom backup, install some custom ROMs/kernels and later just install stock rom and restore stock kernel using this method and I am back to starting point?
Hi, to return your phone to stock all you need to do is:
Make note of your current ROM and download the same from samfirmware
Download Odin
Perform full wipes and format system in recovery mode
Then into download mode where you flash the stock ROM in the PDA section of doing.
Included will be a stock kernel and root would have been lost.
To reset binary counter look at the app triangle away by chain fire.
All the best.

To restore a back up:
Boot into recovery mode
In recovery mode enter back up and restored menu
Then select restore from external memory / sd card
Phone will restore to the time the back up was made.
Some kernels have different CWM menu layouts but the above should get you to the Nandroid backup you made.
All the best

ODIN is for Samsung phones. You need to run an official HTC RUU (ROM Update Utility) to restore HTC phones to stock.
@OP -
Download the RUU exe from the link below, connect your phone to computer via USB and run it as administrator. Your phone will be completely erased and restored to stock. I;m not sure if SD card will erased too, so make a backup of all its contents to be safe.
http://htcruu.com/securekey.php?fil...3.55.24H_3.35.19.25_release_151892_signed.exe
If you're from India, then run this instead -
http://htcruu.com/securekey.php?fil...45.55.24_3.35.15.31_release_142213_signed.exe
You can find a list of more RUUs for your phone, for other regions and carriers at http://htcruu.com/?dir=Buzz
You've certainly messed something up, and your SD card might be corrupted too, so if you're not very knowledgeable about what you're doing, you're better off restoring to stock and starting over rather than trying a bunch of different fixes and messing up your phone more.
I've rooted and flashed many times before.
Recently got phone back from repair after SDS and wanted to put Omega 38 on it.
Rooted it fine no problem using Odin... but have read things about CWM recovery possibly still having the problem, so thought (as I'd seen on here) that I needed philz's CWM. Don't know what I've done but now my phone appears "stuck" again.
It gets no further than the black screen with the white Samsung Galaxy Siii logo. Even if I pull the battery still nowt other than that.
I can get the phone recognised in odin, and I can also get into (I think) philz's recovery by volume up+menu+power. I've done a factory wipe and reset but when the phone starts it still stops on the logo page.
Previously, I got stock CWM (that was provided when I rooted with odin and CF-Root-SG3-v6.4) and it mentioned something about not being able to mount sd card and something about android secure. On another thread it mentions something like this with the S2 which required a odin stock tar flash.
Help me sort this problem - already been down with SDS and losing the will to live now! I just want a safe Omega38 and a safe recovery, as it wouldn't look good sending the phone back with SDS again with the same IMEI/Serial number!
did you try to put it Download mode and flash it again with Odin stock firmware 4.1.2... !!
if they change for you interal sd at your first service then you will be okay.
Have you tried a full stock flash with odin? (Not Omega or other custom rom)
I always use a full stock flash with btu csc so I keep my product code. Perka has a flash with LLA and no bootloader.
At the moment I use LLA and an older JB bootloader.
So to recap, flash a full stock firmware. If it does not boot you will then have to reflash Philz recovery again. Use volume up home and power to reboot the phone and goto recovery. Do a factory reset and reboot the phone.
You should then have a fully clean stock flash.
Or you could boot to CWM recovery and format data, system and cache. Then reboot to download mode and flash you stock rom.
If all is ok then flash Omega.
Short of that maybe its gone all Pete Tong and possibly send it back.

Thanks guys
I went away, had a brew and thought about stuff a little.
Managed to flash omega by getting it onto my sdcard. Then did a wipe of everything, and installed omega v38
Seems to be up and running now. I'm assuming that I should remove any links to CWM in my phone menu, and if need download mode in future, just use Volume Up, Menu and Power?
