I had to restart my phone for some reason and on restarting, the phone got stuck in a boot-loop ( Samsung galaxy S3 i9300 ) text logo. I thought I'd reboot into CWM (Philz touch) and wipe to make things better. But the phone won't boot into CWM either, it showed the soft navigation keys and rebooted again, and kept running in a bootloop of trying to get into the recovery and restarting again.
So I tried to ODIN the recovery just to refresh if something is broken. It didnt work. Odin was success but the boot into recovery wasn't. I tried several times but no luck.
Then I flashed TWRP using ODIN, and voilah! i could boot into TWRP . I flashed CWM using TWRP and voilah again, i could reboot into CWM again . After thatI had to flash the ROM again though.
I do not know why it happened, but I thought I'd share the details just in case someone tries to google it.

You have to remember what exactly you have done before rebooting. Some times it happened with me mainly changing boot screen, battery screen etc.

I rooted my phone last night and installed Cyanogenmod 10. I had it working fine, but my contacts weren't loading. I tried to restore data from the recovery I had in CWM, but when I restarted my phone it's stuck at the splash screen now. When I try to boot into recovery, it goes directly into the samsung recovery instead of CWM.
I'm not really sure what I should try next, as I can't get into Cyanogenmod or CWM. Any ideas?
Use Odin and flash CWM recovery again. If necessary re-flash CM as well. Should work.
this is the i9300 forum
Hey guys,
I flashed GlamourROM for Android 4.3 yesterday. It was working perfectly, so I decided to delete an old backup from recovery. I have ClockworkMod v6.0.4 running on the phone. The phone was rebooting perfectly prior to this, so I didn't see any reason to worry when I rebooted it into recovery. This is when the problem started.
The phone shows the Samsung S3 splash screen, displays the Clockwork hat logo for a split second (black background, not even the usual greyish) and then bootloops (times infinity).
I tried cold reboot, hard reboot and every other trip I could think of. The phone does go into download mode, so that's still there. Any help is welcome ... I'm really worried about this.
Flash another recovery via odin.

Hey, I flashed the stock firmware (that I downloaded from sammobile) and it passed! But this was a short-lived relief, because now its stuck in the logo bootloop - without the clockwork mod logo, so a small win there, I guess!
Now what?

Hello. I have a Galaxy Mini 2 (GT-5600d) more specific, and I installed a custom OS which the phone couldn't support well, so I wanted to turn back to my stock ROM. I found the ROM and installed it using ODIN 3.09 and the only problem I have is that I have to do a data wipe from the recovery menu. Problem is, the recovery menu is jammed for some time now. I didn't need it much before and never taught it could screw up. Seems that now I am stuck with the phone in a continuous boot loop. Any suggestions?
This is the first time I do something to my phone using root access so had my own little adventure which I won't write about here but it ended with me installing CM13 but not having gapps installed because PhilZ didn't let me do that and just threw out some kind of error at me. I switched to twrp to try install gapps and booted into recovery mode, and waited, and waited. It just gets stuck on the RECOVERY BOOTING. . . . screen. If i try to turn it off and start it again it just keeps trying to boot into recovery.
