Stuck on boot screen - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My SGH-T999 is stuck at boot screen after i restarted it because it wasn't responding after opening up a music player called playnow. After researching, i reflashed my phone from stock back to root but no avail. I have also wiped the cache and reset to factory settings. Please help i've tried everything except throwing it...

What "stock" did yoy flash? I suggest you flash back to to stock FIRMWARE. Download it from sammobile.com
There must be something wrong with the kernel

flashed stock kernal on miui

i followed the instructions on removing the yellow trangle on boot up, forgetting i had recently flashed miui. So yes i made the dumb decision of flashing the stock kernal through mobile odin on miui. any fix? i already tried flashing stock through odin... yes it will enter recovery and download mode.
When you say recovery do you mean stock recovery or cwm? You should be able to just flash miui again in recovery. Or you can just Odin(or flash in recovery) the siyah kernel and you should be good to go

Can you get back to MIUI? If so then just flash a new kernel in Mobile Odin.
Or go into download and use Odin on the PC and do it from there

Try flashing siyah.tar in odin.

First time i flashed i tried CF-Root kernel but no go, then i tried Siyah kernel, just flash via odin and then i got root and CW Recovery
The latest stable siyah kernel should work fine (they run fine on all stock SGS2 roms as far as i know)

But I've read it could possibly brick the phone harder than a boot loop?

If you put the wrong one, it could.
Settings> About Phone> Baseband Version> check the last 3 letters, and I believe yours is LPQ so get CF-Root for LPQ and you should be good. After flashing that with Odin, you should have CWM and root.
Use the efs app to make a backup.

I'm still a little confused on how root my phone.. do I just flash the rooted kernel by chainfire via Odin?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
Download the correct file from Chainfire. Unzip it once. Dont unzip it twice. Your looking for the file to end in .tar. Make sure Kies is not running. start Odin as administrater, connect the phone to the pc through USB. ID:COM should show up yellow. Click on PDA. Load the .tar file.
Make sure Re-Partition is NOT TICKED. Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time SHOULD BE TICKED. Press start. DO NOT REMOVE THE USB CABLE till you have a green pass,as this will result in a bricked phone..
How big are my chances to get my phone bricked by using triangleAway??

[Q] Can't update Recovery by Odin.

I had installed the old version of ClockworkMod Touch. Now, I'm trying to update by Odin and is not working. This has happened with some of you? Thanks!

I already tried that. But ClockworkMod continues in the old version. Although saying that Odin was successfully completed, the ClockworkMod not change.

Unrooting, everything back to normal

Hi. I have rooted my S3, to see how it works with PS3 joystick (i am not too impressed)
I have rooted successfully via odin flash guide, but now i get strange problem.
Every now and then, when i want to turn on dispay, it works and show me that clock and then when i swipe to unluck, the phone doesnt respond.
When i power again, display dimms, and nothing happen. I cant unlock my phone, I need to hold power button to reboot, and than it is normal till i lock the screen and want to turn it on again.
My question is, how can i solve it, and if i can't, how can i get everything back to stock and normal?
Try turn off ripple effect in setting, see how it goes.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
First of all, try disabling lockscreen entirely.
Then try performing a full wipe. If nothing changes, flash stock firmware via Odin. If this haven't helped, root your phone, reset bootloader flashing counter via TriangleAway, then flash full stock firmware and make a warranty claim.

As i thought, now, without changing anything, the problem goes away. But i think it will came back
I forgot one big thing!
!!!! When i first flashed PDA, i flashed it with something CF, not insecure kernel (MY FAULT). Then i got this problem but i can say that i couldnt use my phone. Only just after reboot. Then i flashed insecure kernel, al now problem is still here but it is not so often, but i must fix this.
So maybe the problem is because i flashed wrong file, so "bad" files are still here?
Is there an easy fix for this?

Start from scratch again. Backup your data, flash original firmware with odin, root it again, triangle away if you want.

Are custom roms for s3 better than original? I had HTC Hero for almost 3 years and i had custom roms for it but it was only because i wanted it to be faster and smoother
For me, yes custom roms are better than original stock rom.

P7500 unroot and back to official

Hi, I need to sell my tab and want to revert back to full stock. Today it has omni 4.4.2.
Can someone write me please short steps to revert it back? What is the best official ROM ?
Thank you
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda premium
Just go to sammobile.com, download any stock ROM, and flash it with Odin. That will make your tab good as new.
Which one to flash? I remember some problems with WiFi and battery in some versions of 4.0
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda premium
All of them are the same. I don't remember any problems with WiFi tho. There is a deep sleep issue but that is only fixable by installing a custom kernel.
I just flashed this one P7500AILA1_P7500TIMKK1_TIM.zip with Odin
but it ask me password after reboot...
What is it?
