[Q] Screwed my phone - only have "download custom rom" screen - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm new here and im only here because i destroyd my S3 software.
i was using cmd 10.1 on my rooted phone but i thought i would try to downgrade it to cmd 9.1
without further thinking (stupid me) i downloaded the 9.1 update from the setting - about phone - etc.
when i then restarted my phone was stuck at bootlogo screen. when i then tried restart to clockworkmod i came right to "dowload custom rom" screen.
i have tried to install a stock rom with odin without any luck and also, by using odin, installed a pit. file. when i now have installed a stock rom i get the normal stock rom boot loader screen but are stuck at that point.
i have also tried to install clockworkmod with odin. just came to the "download custom rom" screen.
Can anyone help me or is my phone totaly broken? :'(

Stock ROM doesnt work

Hi there.
I had a custom rom on my Galaxy S3, and I wanted to go back to stock rom. Before I had a custom rom, I checked my product code, just in case if I ever wanted to flash stock rom. So, I downloaded a stock rom from sammobile and flashed it with Odin. I had a successful flash, but when the phone rebooted, it stopped at the samsung logo and it's like that every time I turn on the phone.
I aslo tried to flash it with the same rom, but from a different site (androidfirmwares), but every time I treid to do that, Odin crashed ( Odin downloader has stopped working).
I can't even boot into CWR to flash any custom rom, cuz it's gone. There is only stock recovery.
Please help
Which Rom were you trying to flash when this happened, and give details of how you flashed please

if you are getting stuck on the boot screen after you flashed the stock rom this always works..go to recovery do a data reset and wipe cache.
this is really weird and a stupid thing I did when I was completely new to android..a little over a month ago.I got stuck on the boot screen and accidentally flash CF-Root instead of the stock firmware..when the phone rebooted it worked just fine.I dont think its supposed to work that way..:S

[Q] Soft Bricked my S3 after flashing XELL4 over XELLA Firmware

Hi I have done something silly in the flashing process and now the phone wont get past the Samsung logo and is stuck in boot. I can get to Recovery and Download mode. Have tried flashing stock ROM twice but still the same result.
Here is what happened
1) Flashed Stock 4.1.2 XELLA ROM - Through ODIN - was successful, used it for 2 days
2) Due to battery drain issues did a Factory reset and Reflashed XELL4 Stock ROM through ODIN
3) Phone got stuck in boot screen on Samsung logo so reflashed the XELLA firmware again but its still Stuck
Each time the ODIN gave a successful flash but the phone does not get past the Samsung Logo
Dont know what to do it looks like something got screwed up perhaps due to the new bootloader in XELLA which has messed up the process???:crying:
Device I9300, UK version from Carphone warehouse
Will it help if I try the emergency firmware recovery on should i send the device to Samsung as its stll covered under warranty (Have only flashed Stock RoM and not rooted)

Not an expert, but would a full root be able to fix this?

[Q] Bricked my S2. Now it boots only into downloading mode.

I wanted to install a Custom ROM on my s2, but ended up changing the Kernel. Once I changed the Kernel, My phone showed only the Booting screen. (It reads: Samsung Galaxy SII; GT-I9100). To change this, I accidently started installing a ROM for GT-I9100G. ODIN got stuck and remained stuck for a long time. I removed the plug. Now my phone boots only to the Downloading section. I can't even access the Restoring section. I tried to flash my original ROM through ODIN. ODIN stops responding. What should I do??

Try to install a safe kernel like siyah with odin. Download an ICS based custom rom. Reboot to recovery..wipe data/cache and install the rom

just flash the correct one from download mode
If you can access Download mode, you aren't bricked.
As said by others, use download mode to flash a kernel such as Siyah or Chainfire's kernel (CF-Kernel). Start with Kernel, if everything works take a few days break, read Carefully about any ROM that wakes your interest. Be sure to have the PDA and have unchecked re-partition and you're good to go.
Also check if the yellow box appears or not. If not, install KIES, and then flash kernel.

.now the problem is very wired,i have rooted my phone becoz i see superuser and i have CWM version 3.15 installed,have Rom manager installed but there is no way i can install JB or kitkat ..i tried almost all steps but the one place i always fail is when i try to install clockwork recovery for gt-i9100 via Odin my phone doesn't boot and shows the main screen and exclamation mark then i used a kernel flash as mention in one of the forum to reboot again..
I am amazed to see that when i go into the recovery mode i don't see all the option just 4 general option and that gives me an idea that i dont have CWM installed but then why in my icons i have CWM?? i am confused...i have tried so many times to flash it but but my phone gets soft-brick and again i flash kernel to boot into my device.i am really worried to do any more steps as i feel i will brick my phone now
..my only question is can i install JB,kitkat or any update on this device...if yes then can any one who got my issue can help me one first and last time to get it done...please help:crying:

[Q] Galaxy S3 (GT-i9305)

Hi guys, my mothers SGS3 is stuck on bootloop (well just freezes on samsung logo), it was on stock firmware when the problem first occured, i've tried flashing cwm via odin, wiping absolutely everything and then reflashing stock firmware, but problem persisted, i've tried rooting, flashing cwm, and then installing cyanogenmod to no avail.
does anybody have any other ideas that i could try.
Thanks in advance guys.

You flashed stock firmware with Odin, was the flash successful ?
If you need to use recovery, flash TWRP or Philz, CWM is not updated anymore
Try flashing one of the firmwares in this thread.
yeah as far as odin was concerned the flash was successful and set the phone to reboot, but it still just hung at the samsung logo, and right ok im a bit out dated using cwm then it's been a while :Lthanks for the links i'll give it another crack now
thanks again

i've tried flashing CM and MIUI using the two recoveries you linked, still no joy. The download links for the firmware doesn't work but i found an equivalent that also has bootloader, csc files etc and still no joy, odin does it's business and says in green pass at the end of it all but it still hangs on the samsung logo, even when i installed miui, it would install all as planned, but then on the reboot it just hangs at the MIUI logo.
i'm lost completely i've never been defeated by a phone :L
