I have an AT&T Galaxy S3. I rooted it a while ago and have been using CM10 on it.
I wanted to unlock the phone so to get it back to factory I mistakenly restored from a backup I had of the factory phone (I'm guessing this was wrong now).
The restore finished and I rebooted the phone but now it sits at the Samsung Galaxy SIII boot screen. I tried booting back to Clockworkmod Recovery to restore from my newer backup but it just goes back to the splash screen and sits.
I was able to get it into Download mode and seemed to be recognized by Odin. I'm just not sure where to go from there. I would be fine with it being on CM10 or factory again.
Any help would be awesome!

You`re in the wrong forum buddy, go here for help http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1705. This forum is for the International GT-I9300 Quadcore S3.

Well after backup go to the official recovery and just wipe cache and data and restart it should work if not download official firmware flash it with odin and if again it gets stuck at samsung bootscreen go again to stock recovery and just wipe everything I think there were two rows starting With the word wipe...other and See if it works...

Was using my tab as usual when it suddenly reboots. Doesn't get past the Samsung Galaxy Tab logo so I decided to restore a backup image. That one doesn't get past the boot animation. I tried doing a factory reset but no can do. I can still access clockworkmod recovery but can someone teach me how I can copy a ROM to my tab so I can flash it?
Thanks.
EDIT: NEVERMIND FIXED.
Hope someone can help me out...
I installed CM9 a while ago and wanted to go back to standard ROM by restore from my nandroid backup.
I ran the Samsung Galaxy Toolkit v3.0 and chose Backup and Restore your phone.
There I selected the nandroid backup I made. After copying the files back to my phone it rebooted in CWM (v5.5.0.4)
I wiped caches and chose restore from the menu. I selected the folder that was just created and saw that everything was being restored.
I've let my phone reboot, but I only saw the Samsing Galaxy SIII GT-I9300 screen for a while, it dissapeared, came back, and after that it opened CWM again..
Anybody got any idea what I did wrong? :-S and what I should do to return to standard ROM?
I've got the international S3 (Holland)
I was able to put the phone in download mode and restored a complete clean image trough odin...
Bad side is that all my settings are gone now, but well.. It's working!
Hello,
I was going to sell my phone to a friend today. I was running CWM recovery and paranoid android ICS. Anyways, I simply went to settings --- > factory reset ---> checked "wipe sd card" and hit OK.
Now it won't boot. It'll go to the Galaxy S II screen and shutoff. It boot loops while trying to boot into recovery mode.
I can, however, get it into download mode. I was looking at guides on here on how to reset it and are confused as can be. Where can I download Heimdall (yes, I googled it, couldn't find the download on their site.)
I'm on Mac OS X, if that helps, however I can get windows if it'll make everything easier.
Thank you
Use the guide linked in my signature, for returning the phone to stock. Link for heimdall is in the guide.
First enter recovery if possible, and perform a wipe data/factory reset from within recovery. If successful, joy.
If not successful, then flash stock using Heimdall, or borrow a pc and use Odin.
Forgot what I said earlier...I hooked up my Windows 7 SSD and booted into Windows.
I flashed everything successfully in Odin (only flashed a PDA/Phone part, not bootloader or CSC.)
Now it's stuck looping "Rethink Possible" AT&T Logo. However, I can get into some form of android recover. I don't know what I can flash through it, though.
Any help?
Thank you

stuck in boot similar problem
I'm having trouble booting my phone. I rooted using Odin3 and siyah 3.4.2 it flashed i was no longer able to view video or the live picture of the camera. I was using another site galaxys2root.com as my guide and failed to be resolved in the forum there. In an attempt to resolve the issue I went into factory reset using power vol+ vol- and tried to wipe the system but it didnt reset competely still had the siyah running. I then attempted to use reset within setting and now i am stuck at the first boot screen "samsung galaxy sII GT-I9100". It will also show charging but only briefly then it goes black. I would just like to get back to stock ROM if possible. Please advise.

Bad choice going to galaxys2root.com. Now I have said it. Let see what we can do to get you back.
1st - if you can get into the recovery mode, go here and download AJ's Siyah kernel. Download your favorite ROM
2nd - Flash the ROM first, then Flash Siyah kernel through recovery. Reboot and you should be good to go.
Enjoy.
So I've got this issue I never had before.
It started happening after I screwed something up with the EFS I think.
I was flashing some custom roms after the 4.3 official update and then tried to go back to 4.1 official.
Had the no network problem, but fixed it flashing the vodafone stock 4.3 official again.
Reading all the stuff about EFS confused me, and I deleted the EFS folder and copied an old backup (or so I think, because I'm not sure. I had a EFS backup on my sdcard and extsd I think).
I no longer have the no network issue, but everytime I flash a stock rom through Odin the phone gets stuck at the samsung logo, so I have to root the phone and install TWRP using Odin and then wipe. I know this way fixes this, but what I'm looking for is to fixed the problem completely so I don't have to install a custom recovery or root after using Odin to go back to official samsung rom.
Any ideas?
What should I do?
Maybe the phone gets stuck at the samsung logo because all of this EFS thing, but, like I said, I no longer have the no network issue.
All I want is for the phone to boot normally into the setup after flashing a samsung rom using Odin.
It just gets stuck every single time since I had this problem with the EFS, when before this never happened.
try to install the rom in recovery mode

I had this problem before (flash 4.1.2 in current 4.2.2 by odin), here's my solution.
Maybe you can install your ROM in recovery mode. (CWM based)
Remember to wipe completely before installing

I can flash custom roms through TWRP, but what I'm looking for is to be able to do so again through Odin without ending up stuck at boot always and having to wipe through TWRP to be able to boot properly.
Any ideas?
I'm sure there must be a fix so I don't get stuck at the boot screen after flashing a samsung rom with Odin.
I know the trick wipe factory reset but what I really want is to simply avoid getting stuck at the boot screen after flashing a samsung rom with Odin.

Factory reset is also available in default recovery as well, then what is the issue? Flash then boot to recovery do factory reset.

Thanks.
I'm just trying to find out why my SGS3 now gets stuck at boot when before it never happened.
I'm hoping there's a way to fix it and go back to before, when it never got stuck at boot. There should be a way I guess.
Hello guys, i am new here. i rooted my phone( samsung G900H) successfully about 3 months ago and i have been using it without any problems, but i noticed that anytime i try to boot into recovery mode(power+home+volume up) it gets stuck on the boot screen(samsung powered by android) until battery life runs out or i take out the battery, but download mode(power+home+volume down) works fine, i have no idea what went wrong. any ideas on what went wrong and how to fix it?
Many Thanks in Advance
Either flash a custom recovery like TWRP or reinstall the stock firmware if that doesn't work. Make sure to backup everything you need first.
