Thanks mate, but unfortunately I've got slow internet (50kb/s) and my browser is telling me there is 1 day+ left to download the 1.1GB file. My internet sometimes disconnects so it will be near impossible for me to download this file!
Does anyone know of any other websites you can download from? Perhaps a torrent file...
The file I need is this one... http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=27156
Much appreciated.

I think you could flash another firmware. Or make sure kies isn't running in the background. Even using another USB cable

back up using titanium backup, wipe data at stock recovery then flash using odin. re-root then restore your apps through TB. I have downloaded this from sammobile and battery life is better compared from previous version.
Can anyone have link to download this rom? All the rom is useless T_T
Thank you, I've downloaded the file through pClound.
I can create the torrent magnet link and share it out, but I don't know if posting the magnet link is against the forum's rule here. Advice please

Pardon my ignorance, but could you please tell me how do I go about doing so? (where do I get the file, flash using Odin or what, etc)
I have good experience flashing roms but since the one I'm currently using is so stable, I haven't been doing so for almost a year! I'm getting quite rusty...

S3 Stuck in a boot loop, need help

Hello guys
I've been searching for a few days how to fix this problem but nothing helps, so I came to ask here.
I've tried flashing emergency firmware , also with .pit files ; tried repairing it with KIES too. Nothing.
It's S3 Blue 16gb version.
It's impossible to get into recovery , but I managed to get in it with CWM(after trying at least 100 times) , and these are the errors I got.
i.imgur.com/duLiUsD.jpg
i.imgur.com/aVgSvLt.jpg
i.imgur.com/GRxIyhD.jpg
It shows Samsung galaxy S III logo and stays there or reboots all the time.
I can get into download mode and flash whatever I want with odin, but whatever I flash, same issue.
Looking forward to your advices/help. Anything would be appriciated.

I had that issue before. Try to update your version of CWM or just change and use philz TWRP. Then wipe/format data, system, cache and dalvik then try again to flash the rom of your choice :fingers-crossed:

I need to try like 100x times to just get into CWM and then when i try to wipe I get those errors I posted in photos.
Philz / TWRP doesn't even want to boot into them.
When I boot into recovery there is android standing and some sort of progress bar and it starts to fill and the phone restarts to galaxy logo again..

I tried flashing stock ICS but no luck.
I flashed stock ICS with "T flash" and " NAND erase " turned on and I just got android Downloading mode.
Then, I went to Kies and did firmware repair and I got past Galaxy screen and phone started turning on and installing apps
and rebooted again with the same issues.
