"heart attack"! Haha!
Yeah, I've got the same issue. I really hate seeing my Galaxy S3's soul dead! :-o

Faryaab just told me that this is normal and that the note 2 is the same so we have nothing to worry about.

Nooooooope.
I flashed stock ROM after stock ROM after stock ROM. Apparently, my device status is still not modified since I've done nothing else with my phone!

Guys,
i have a Gnex and can tell you thats just how recovery looks...
Nothing to be worried about.
On Gnex we have Andy with the triangle and have to hold down volume buttons to get the options to appear... Dont know if you guys already have the options or just a blank screen with dead Andy.
If you have no options try a few key combos and they will appear
dont worry nothings broken.

It is most likely due to cwm 6.0.1.2 being broken. Can't create nandroid backup or detect external sd . I use 5.0.2.1 and can create backups on my external card.
In every other respect it's ok though as far as I know

Phone borked?

So I was on the latest MIUI, and flashed Dream Kernel. That went fine, I rebooted, then tried to flash CM 9.0.1 via CWM, and the phone shut off, but never booted back up. Now it won't boot at all, in any mode. It doesn't respond when I put it on the charger either. The screen dimly flashes occasionally if it's getting power from the charger or the battery.
Any ideas? :x
Have you tried plugging the phone into the charger without the battery, then put the battery in a bit later?
If this makes boo sense.... It's the lime a Rita telling.

Well I had a similar issue sometime ago with my phone. What I did was plugged phone to PC an flashed stock ROM Via Odin. It worked for me twice Odin was still able to connect to What I 777. Found stock ROM in the general forms in Xda after I did that connected to Kies an Installed official ROM for I777. Took some time but I recovered phone twice hope it work for U too..

You said the phone shut off after u tried installing the latest cm9. But never booted back up. That tells me you tried to.install it using rom manager app. Which everyone here knows not to use. At least that's what it sounds like. If I'm wrong, then we'll need a bit more information from u. Exact steps on what u did and if u downloaded the correct cm9 for our phones etc.

I appreciate your positive attitude and that this whole thread u have been nice and respectful. So ill fill ya in bud our phones aren't like most. Our kernels come with the recovery built into it. (CWM). So whenever u flash a kernel, you're also flashing a recovery too.

Did you enable USB debugging before you have the problem?
Next time always read the last few pages of any mod/ROM/kernel before flashing.
Many people already complained that the MOD results in bootloops on Jellybean ROMs

I think at this point your only option is you might be able to use a jig to get to download mode and re-flash a stock firmware.

[Q] I777 crashes

At least once a day or more, I pick up my phone and it's crashed. Does anyone else have this happen? I've used two different Samsung batteries, so I don't think it's the battery. I'm running the lastest version of SuperNexus .

Stock 4.0.4 is known to cause shutdowns, but that is obviously not your problem. To see if it is a firmware problem instead of a hardware problem, you should flash a different firmware, or a stock firmware, or both, and observe for a few days to see if you still have issues.
Why don't you try on odin and flash new rom

Easier to flash roms in CWM but odin is useful for flashing firmware to return to stock.

This is a known issue with 4.0.4. Probably the best solution is either to go back to an earlier version of stock, or to install a custom firmware. Unfortunately this means you'll have to flash something.
If you want to go back to stock 4.0.3, the easiest way would be to use the one-click downloader. Go to the Download Repository (link in my sig) and it is the very bottom item on the page.
If you are unfamiliar with procedures, please do a little study first to understand what you need to do, then ask if you still need help.

Aha. So if i'm rooted on NH5, with custom recovery, i can flash this stock tar to get back to unrooted NH5 with stock recovery ? The other stock tars would fail in Odin because they do not have the NH5 firmware, and Samsung made it so Odin will not flash previous firmwares if i've already flashed a newer firmware? Is that correct ?

Hello. Flashing this with Odin will return to stock for Samsung warranty without tripping Knox correct? My Knox is still 0x0 but I deleted/moved some system apps while rooted is like to restore before sending for warranty.
Thanks Bud
