After installing CyanogenMod 11 on my Galaxy S3, Play Store stopped working. I haven't found 4.4.2 Gapps so I flashed GApps for 4.3.
When it booted it said "Setup Wizard has stopped". Launcher hasn't worked but I could still run Settings. I downgraded to CyanogenMod 10.2 (And 4.3). Now I have a bootloop with no recovery and bootloader. What can I do now? Can I restore it like a normal hard brick?
Please, help!!!

1- download latest cm11 + PAGapps ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2397942) + In case u wanna use a custom kernel make sure that it supports latest cm11 with r3p2 Mali driver + make sure u have latest recovery installed.
2- go to recovery and make a full wipe 0R flash Mega wipe in case u don't know how to ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1832326)
3- Install custom kernel ( only if u wanna use one if not skip this step)
4- Install cm11
5- Install PAGapps 4.4.2 (latest)
6- Reinstall custom kernel again (Skip this step if ur using the stock CM 11 kernel)
7- Reboot.
By the way ur just stuck in a Boot loop due to incompatibility issues not bricked.
Oh crap I didn't read the last two lines -.- It seems ur bricked.

------------- SOLVED! --------------
Hello all,
First of all I want to say I'm pretty new to flashing ROMs etc.
Currently I'm at stock 4.3 Jellybean and I want to flash my SGS3 to the new CM 11 ROM.
I rooted my phone following this tutorial: vvvvvv.telefoonrooten.nl/samsung/samsung-galaxy-s3-root/ (sorry if its in Dutch, but it uses the CF-Root-SGS3-v6.3 and Odin).
After I rooted I copied both the CM11 ROM and GAPPS to my external SD, I went to recovery and tried to install the new custom ROM but I got an error (status 7) and it was aborted.
Also if I try to reboot it won't boot normally as it should be but it goes back to recovery mode automatically...
I fixed to get back to Jellybean by flashing the stock rom (unrooting?) it via Odin.
Anyone else got the exact same problem as I do and knows a solution to be able to flash CM 11?
Thanks in advance,
Steelbear

please read the thirst post in a rom/kernel/whatever thread. and maybe if you havent done it already you should also read the stickies in general section.
FAQ (Read before post !!)
- If you obtain Error 7 when you tried to install ROM in CWM or TWRP
Install the latest version of CMW or TWRP

BTW latest philz touch recovery works too
Since you went back to stock and you already know how to root, I suggest you go to Play Store and download ROM Manager to help you install latest CWM recovery on your device.
Or you can simply go to CWM website, pick the version of the recovery for your phone and flash it via Odin.
Hope it helps.

Indeed it worked! I found it out myself yesterday. Went to the CWM site and downloaded the latest version (6.0.4.4.) and flashed it through Odin. But thanks for your input anyways (to all who replied) !
An alternative solution that I often use is to open the Updater Script in META-INF folder in the ROM's zip and delete first lines, where it gets device model as property.
Obviously it's an UNSAFE operation (because that lines avoid to install ROMs of other phone on mine) but when I'm sure that ROM I've downloaded is for my phone I do it and it works
Hi i kind of bricked my Mediapad 7 when tring to update Cyangen 10.2 to Cyangen 11. Need some help how to proceed.
First i booted into TWRP and tried to install the file
S7-301u V100R002C232B005 ICS Android 4.0.3 General Version.zip
to go back from Cyano 10.2 to stock rom 4.0.3. But this failed.
So i directly installed
cm-11-20140118-UNOFFICIAL-hws7300u.zip
Installation went OK. No, i didn't do a backup of the installed 10.2.
After reboot, the device is not booting but always going back to TWRP. What can i do?
What i tried in TWRP so far:
Reinstalling cm-11-20140118-UNOFFICIAL-hws7300u.zip
Reinstalling cm-10.1-20130526-UNOFFICIAL-hws7300u.zip
Wipe Cache
Factory Reset
Nothing helps. Always booting into TWRP v2.3.2.3 :crying:
Thanx for any help how to resolve this!
Forgot: During install of firmware there is a log-line:
E. Unknown File System: 'datamedia'
no slash between data and media
Solved
Solved it.
- Went back to stock recovery with "Auto_recovery_installer_for_huawei_mediapad"
- installed 4.0.3
- then installes cyanogen 11 with twrp

I had the problem of not being able to reinstall a stock rom as well.
How EXACTLY did you do it for the stock one?
I've also found out from a CM developer that stock roms can't be installed with the custom recoveries like TWRP or CWM.
Which is a nice thing to know since there doesn't seem to be any info on the forums about that.

2. install recover TWRP and install ROMs.
3. install Stock Rom from Odin.
4. install CM10 snapshot or CM11 nightly.
5. binary code reset.
6. install throw CM windows installer.

i have s3 GT-I9300 my cell was rooted and i installed cm 12.1 and its gapps and it was working perfectly then i downloaded cm 13 and its full gapps when i installed it cm 13 installed successfully but when i install full gapps it stuck on logo and don't start.but when i installed its miniapps it installed successfully but it have only few things like sms,camera,browser,gallery etc but no play store, account login either google or anyone account. Then i tried to install cm12.1 which i have already installed in it before cm13 it was not installing. after that i uses Samsung kies and get back to my old version jeally bean and no root.
I again root my cell with kingo root and then i again tried to install cm12.1 but it was giving the error of root permission.
I installed cm10.2 on my cell it installed but no gapps .i fix the root permission and again installed cm12.1 it was installed successfully and also the gapps then i click on reboot it gave me the error of reboot and fix root permission whenever i install gapps it stuck in start logo (Samsung Galaxy s3 I9300) and don't start.
now i am using cm10.2 with no Gapps tell me how to fix root permission and install cm 12.1 and its gapps o it
Thank u
Before installing any rom at first flash sock rom. Download stock rom from sammobile.com flash it via odin.
Then install cwm recovery CWM recovery . Go to cwm recovery flash Supersu.zip to root ur mobile. Then Flash the custom rom which you want. Download & flash gapps from Here
Hi, What suresh said will work. if you're unable to flash Su zip via recovery then odin is your safest and fool proof way.
And as far as the gapps are concerned, though you can choose according to your liking - reading the ROM's forums give the best output~ People share their experiences with gapps.
I suggest you take a backup before flashing anything, all is well until you flash something & it disintegrates your rom experience, but you just can't go back. So never forget to BACKUP.
installation problem of cm and gapps
i have already try this but this does not work. i install the firmfare with samsung kies then root again with kingo root.after that i install the cmw and try to install cm 12.1 but it didn't work.u are telling me again the same procedure which i have already tried earlier.
Instead of flashing via kies you need to flash via odin.
The problem will be kingroot. You should root by flashing cfautoroot via odin.
installation problem of cm and gapps
ok now i am trying this
root problem
Again it is giving the same problem fix root.Root access possibly lost .now what i do.how can i send u pics of the problem?pics are not attaching here
