Hi, been reading lots about guides spent 3hr trying to flash my S3 LTE, prob was i tried cynagen 10.1, didnt like interface, so i tried to reflash a custom 4.1.2, that i used before. This is UK model. I had CWM on before ,Seems now i have get a loop on sumsung logo after every flash. I have tried diff roms the one i used before same thing. It doesnt have cwm on as i wipe and delte data and when i reboot with battery out it just show stock recovery. So I used odin to put cwm so i can wipe/ clear cache try install roms from sd but same loop.message says install aborted from sd install. I have even just tried kies a few times on recovery and still get loop. My counter is showing 12 now so dont know if taking it back to shop will get warrenty repair. any ideas where the problem is, as maybe i tried cyn 10.1 1st time and it got stuck on spinning logo as i didnt wipe/delete user data 1st. am at a loss of how to just flash any rom on to get it to work. Thanks also i have used odin to flash roms on but still same loop.
Flash stock Rom with Odin
Boot into 3e recovery and do factory reset
Are you sure you are flashing stuff meant for the i9305 and NOT the i9300?
I had originally flashed to I9305XXBLL3_I9305DBTBLL3_I9305XXBLL3_HOME.tar.md5 from stock and used for a while and even flashed bak a few times before using this rom, however reflashing this or using kies recover firmware after install process the green andriod man loads some stuff then goes to loop on samsung logo, i have tried many flashed, i dont understand y i wud get a loop on any flashes now it didnt before. surely there must b a way to stop the loop, I used kies 4 times to ugrade firmware recove using my s/n etc but it always seem to complete but loop, any suggestions, am tempted to bring to phone shop for warrenty and if they ask about the 14 installs i will have to say i used kies 14 times. thanks

Flash stock Rom with Odin
Root it

Flash stock Rom again
Factory reset
That simple
i cant find a stock rom for S3 LTE, just used a few that worked before the loop. I am gonna try reflash with kies again then try your method. One note, I normally been flashing then run odin for cwm then can access delete wipe. on cwm the error is 4 lines of E; cant mount xxx,

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

Hi Everyone! just a rookie here in need of a bit of advice.
I'm a Galaxy S II I9100 owner and have my phone rooted and all setup with custom roms and been comfortable with flashing for some time now. My ROM of choice recently was Vanilla Rootbox and have to say the ROM has been fantastic with very few bugs to report. Last night i recieved the OTA update via Goo Manager for Vanilla Rootbox 3.4. I downloaded the full update over wifi and flashed with all wipes no worries. Next step was to flash the latest GAPPS and i figured there would be nothing wrong with flashing the GAPPS zip i had on my sd card that i had downloaded the last time i was notified of a GAPPS update via Goo manager as well. After flashing, wiping everything and rebooting again. My phone then booted up to a series of dialog boxes indicating that many google processes had stopped functioning. apps.google.com etc etc. A similar error has been reported in the Vanilla Rootbox thread by another user but i wasnt able to report this bug their either because my post count is too low to post in a development forum. So after seeing this error i rebooted into recovery to flash my last backup but CWM recovery came back with an error messaging stating it couldnt mount either ext or int sdcard. i did a factory reset which made no difference to the problem whatsoever. I then downloaded ODIN and the latest stock ICS Rom and flashed it via ODIN with no reported errors. My phone now boots through the optus boot animation and is stuck at the Galaxy S 2 screen with the flashing red and yellow animation over the S. If i turn off the phone with the power button, the phone turns off and immediately starts again and gets stuck at the flashing s screen. I've taken the battery sim and ext sd card out and put it all back in only for the problem to persist.
If anyone could help me there's a donation and my thanks in it!
Much appreciated
Nick
tried to re flash another stock ROM?
If so, tried factory reset the phone after the flash?
As long as you can get to DL mode, you are good to keep on flashing till you are up & running.
And then you got this
Remember to update your kies and make sure you close it all up before flashing with odin. If you are in 4.0.4 beware of the brick bug.

Kies has never been installed on this computer but i did use the usb drivers mentioned in the soft brick recovery guide you linked. I used some information from the guide to flash this stock rom but i couldnt flash or wipe the partition because im unsure where to get the .PIT file required? i cant get past the boot animation so no factory reset possible and yes i can still get into download mode!

wow wow, leave pit files alone for now, they are nasty.
What stock ROM did you flash? 4.0.4 or 4.0.3?
You can factory reset via recovery mode.
Try installing kies anyway, it can't never hurt. Just make sure all applications are closed before you re-flash.
here's jb leak, might help:

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?

Yup tried that before posting no luck with it!

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.

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.
Hi,
I have the 925f. I was in a custom rom but had some issues in my phone (7.0 A8 port), so I decided to flash back to stock through ODIN. After flashing G925FXXU5ERA4 it was stuck almost 30 min in samsung logo. Then I went back to DL mode and tried again with the same result. I also tried flashing G925FXXU5EQFC but again it was stuck. I did this several times.
Am I lacking something? Any help will be appreciated.

If it's stuck in Samsung logo just leave it longer, the first boot can take quite a while
Thanks callumbr1!
It was almost an hour and it didn't passed the logo (I tried two stock roms through ODIN). I solved it by flashing twrp wiping system and a rom through a zip file.

anytime when u flashing new firmware via odin u need to go to recovery and factory reset the device , thats the point that odin dont do while installing and that why u cant pass trought samsung logo.
