Give us more details on what you have done exactly before you flash the rom.
And details about which rom.
One solution would be to flash stock.
Go in download mode with 3 buttons combo(volume down-power and home button) open odin,put as pda the stock rom as a tar and hit start.
Note: Be sure kies tray agent is not running in the background you have to kill the process with task manager
I also have this issue, after using a CM9 rom then rolling back to stock rom I have downloaded the stock rom, not sure if its 100 match for my phone but its stuck at samsung logo its 1 day old, please help?
Thanks
get into download mode and try flash again.
Right, I can go back to custom rom, but stock rom wont boot, any suggestions?
please try to elaborate the exact steps that you have done to get to that situation.
if you are now flashing back to stock rom. try this, flash stock firmware using odin, once done dont reboot. straigth boot into recovery mode, and wipe data factory reset. then boot.
ive got the same problem. i installed cyanogenmod 10 on and it worked fine but couldnt get to wipe the internal sd card so still had stuff from past roms on. I thought if i flash back to stock then it would clear it all then i could reflash back to cyanogen 10.
i flashed the stock in odin and it wont go past the samsung logo. cant get into the recovery mode to wipe cache as it just resets back to boot screen and cant use the samsung toolkit as i cant get into usb debugging mode as cant get it to boot
any help really appreciated

I had this issue before. Phone is stuck at samsung logo. I reflashed stock lfb firmware and cf root. Cleared data/cache/dalvik. Then it worked fine.
If every recovery method fails then only resort is to visit service center, go there and act dumb and state phone went crazy and this happened out of no where.If they wont find out that you've f***ked it up then you will get mo-board replacement.
Flash stock LFB from samfirmware.com through Odin.
Then flash Siyahkernel (also through Odin)
Pull the battery for 5 minutes
Press and hold vol-up + home buton
Press power button until screen lights up
You should be in cwm now. Factoryreset your phone and it should startup again
If you don't want to loose your data, instead of factory reset you can try using adb shell and run e2fsck on the block device for /data
Corrupt ext-Partitions are usually the reason for a softbrick

I encountered the same problem. I almost fainted when I can't solve the problem. Finally I did. this is what I did:
1. download the Stock Rom (depends which country and carrier you are) Unzip the downloaded file and you should have .md5 file that you will later use.
2. download ODIN
3. Launch ODIN click on "PDA button" select the .md5 that you extracted (the file you downloaded and unzipped) and click start and wait until it finished (hopefully this will solve your problem but in my case ... the samsung logo still is stucked so continue with my next steps)
4. download the CF Root from
note: this will install the CWM or recovery mode for your phone that will give you several options ...
5. use ODIN again and click PDA button and select the CF Root that you have downloaded and click on start until it finished.
6. boot to Recovery mode by holding "volume up (yes volume up and not volume down)" and "power" and "home button" all at the same time until recovery mode reappears.
7. go to advanced and remove dalvik cache, do a wipe out or factory reset, wait for your phone to restart ... wait a minute or two and your phone is back to normal.

You have to do a data wipe in recovery to fix that.
Do a full wipe. Factory reset + wipe cache, dalvik and system

First step would be to do a full wipe I.e. data+cache+dalvik..if it does not work..then wipe system partition..be careful as this step will erase everything from your internal memory..
PS. Coming from leaked jb..install stock ics first via odin..reboot check if wifi works..if yes then go ahead and flash aosp based roms.. otherwise you might face wifi issues..

Go to ClockWorkMod:
1- Turn off Your device
2- Press and hold this combination: up volume - menu button - power button
3- When you're in Clockwork mod search and choose factory reset4
4- Then confirm factory reset and use Pc Odin and flash a new ROM in Download Mode
Hope this helped
PS: Factory reset will erase everything So backup ur files, but in your case it's not necessary knowing that it's stuck in bootloader
Download mode for PC ODIN flash:
-turn off you device
-Download Mode: Press and hold :down volume button - menu button - power button
-After that connect ur device via USB to your PC
-choose the Stock Rom from Odin "DISABLE or UNCHECK REPARTITION"and and flash your device it'll take like 3mins or less to flash on SGS3

This advice does not really help in my view .
Why factory reset then flash via Odin = wipe twice .
Odin does not have a stock rom . That may confuse the OP . >?> Its flash a stock rom via Odin .
jje
In my opinion the best option to restore stock firmware (and partition layout) is flashing three-file firmware by Odin with repartition option (and of course mx.pit). It will make all needed wipes after flash in recovery after selfreboot. All needed commands are set in executable script which is running after flashing. After that you may flash newest firmware by FOTA, Kies or Odin, as you wish.
All you need is download a correct for Your location version with separate PDA, CSC and MODEM and mx.pit.
Of course there is always a danger related to repartition so You need to do it with caution.
You DON'T need to flash the pit file unless you've somehow screwed up your partitions and have corrupted them. Flashing a pit file is one of the fastest ways to brick your phone if you don't know what you're doing and use the wrong one...
Just put the full stock update file in PDA and flash as it has the pit repartition in the file already. However, DON'T tick the repartition box...

Next time post questions in Q & A thread,, BTW dont panic. Download any ROM, then wipe data, cache and in advance, wipe dalvik, Install zip from SD card. Done ur phone ll boot up.. If this doesnt help then final is flash thru ODIN check the baseband of the phone then download from SAMFIRMWARE
After a full wipe (data/cache/dalvik), you should also format the /system partition and the internal SD card (save important files before). Then flash or install via recovery the ROM and everything should be ok.
Thank you everyone but when i press the power+volume dwn+home button it takes me to odin mode but not the normal screen from where i can wipe/format and do other stuff. How can i go to that recovery screen?

Volume up + home button + power button simultaneously. hold all of them until the samsung logo appears, then just leave the power button. Should boot into recovery.

Hi guys,
I've really tried looking and I really cannot find a fix, thus this has forced me to come out of lurking and posting a thread to seek for help.
I wanted to flash back to a stock rom from my cyanogenmod10 to claim warranty for a broken digitalizer (touch screen completely not working), so my mistake was to flash via odin without wiping cache memory/factory reset and I forgot to use triangle away. (thought that i should have done that when I'm on stock rom)
so now my phone is unable to boot into home, it is stuck at the samsung logo, I can go into download mode but i have no way to get into recovery. (Holding the up vol + home + power just resets kinda restarts the phone)
Also, it seems like no matter how long I charge the phone, the battery level won't go above 10% on the standby mode charging screen.)
Anyone help ?
End of the day I really just need to get the flash counter back to zero without using the in-phone app to claim for warranty.
reflash the stock rom. if you do everything correctly, you would be able to access recovery

I've done that at least 3 times... using odin3 v3.07 flashed with I9300XXEMA2_I9300OLBEMA1_I9300DXELK1_HOME.tar.md5 selected only F.reset and auto restart, flashed using PDA.
The Odin tells me that flashing was a success but I'm still stuck, the last time i had this problem i settled it via clearing cache, but this time i cannot go into recovery mode anymore.

Main concerns,
1) Reset Flash counter with computer.
2) Wipe Cache/factory reset function without going into recovery mode.
Take out battery, put it back in, press the three button Recovery combo and let go when you see the Samsung SIII screen. If you keep it pressed, it'll loop.
Do a factory reset then restart the phone.
Connect a mouse through an OTG cable and install TriangleAway to reset the counter.
Boot into recovery and factory reset. Should do the trick.
Good luck!

try flashing resurrection rom , from the checkrom website through odin , am not sure if itll work , it may , but its worth a try

Same problem. No help,
I've read some posts about boot loop on GS3 but I can't find a solution to my problem..I installed 4.2.2 on my phone to get rid of the stock ROM which was branded by my mobile operator (Orange Romania) and to have the latest software available..but now I want to downgrade to 4.1.2 because I am not satisfied with this OS(fb messenger crashes every time, options in the settings menu are not available, can't connect to Kies and so on). When I try to install 4.1.2 with odin, everything goes fine untill the phone enters in a boot loop. I tried to install UK international version unbranded and Orange firmware from my country. Then I try to reinstall 4.2.2 and it works!!! In some posts it is said that wipe data/factory reset should be used in order to solve the issue but I don't know exactly how to use that command.
My question is: can someone exactly explain what to do so that I can install 4.1.2 stock ROM, unbranded or at least get back to my original Orange firmware? Thank you in advance!!
Get yourself a custom recovery, like CWM or TWRP and flash it through Odin. Once you complete that shut down your phone and power it again by pressing volume up, power and home buttons at the same time, that will take you to recovery. There you will see the menu for wiping cache and dalvik cache as well as system and other partitions of your internal /external sd cards.
Try to use official firmwares instead of leaks. Always backup, nandroid and titanium (or any other app), reset the device (factory reset in recovery) and flash the ROM of your choice.
Dacă ma ai probleme dă-mi PM

If you don't wanna encounter any FCs than yes, wipe out everything. It's more like a safety net, never goes wrong.

Here is my case.
Was on 4.4.4 SlimSaber with TWRP recovery..
So, i intended to change back to stock rom. Downloaded the stock firmware from sammobile
After that, I used ODIN 3.10 to flash the stock firmware. Everything goes smoothly. But, after the process completed, I have bootloop in the Samsung logo.
Tried removing the battery and replaced it.. still the same.
Now I cant enter the Download and Recovery mode. My PC still detects my device, ODIN still show blue sign when I plugged it in
Any advice for me to recover it?
