[Q] Stuck on sammy logo(Think i broke partitions?) - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys
So I've been running temasek's cm11 rom. My phone's battery died and so I plugged it in this morning when I woke up. At first it would just stay on the boot animation. Tried restarting a couple of time and it would get to the same place. Then it fell off the bed(my bad), and doesn't go past the samsung logo. I've tried reflashing in cwm as well as wiping everything. But it still just sits. It doesn't really give me any errors in CWM, but it does seem as though it's not mounting the internal sd card correctly as I cannot flash from it, but can browse for files on my external sd(via recovery).
I've tried loading up Odin to fix it, but it won't pick up my phone. Have installed those "naked" usb drivers, but to no avail. I seem to be quite stuck.

[Q] Exhibit II - Soft brick? Persistent boot loop issue...[SOLVED]

I'm having a problem similar to many people but from looking all over these and other forums, nothing is working. It started when I turned on my phone and while the splash screen was still on, plugged it into my PC to charge, boom, boot loop ever since.
I was using the Peach Sunrise kernel, and first tried to re-flash the rom...nothing, still bootlooping.
Data wipe...still boot looping.
Flash to stock via ODIN...nothing - it still does the bootloop after the reboot.
Now I don't have CWM anymore and I can't flash it because I cant' access the internal SD. Any ideas? Help is much appreciated! Thanks.

Okay, sorry to jump the gun, I managed to re-install CWM with Odin, but that still doesn't get me much further that I already was.

Unable to boot to Recovery Mode GS3

Hello
I have been using my int Gs3 for sometime and decided to root and explore the mods and custom fw world. I have started with getting to root access and after that install CWM.
Then I try to install nightly cyanogenmod 10. It didnt work and boot back to normal GS3 Touchwiz interface. After that I tried the GooManager and when the phone is restarted it went to bootloop. I removed the battery and put it back. The problem started there.
The phone does not boot to any OS, I only can see the galaxy s3 9300 black splash screen and awatis there. I can go into download mode, but when I go into recovery mode, I can see the Android robot, and it dies The screen is too fast but what I can see it cannot mount EFS, System and any folder.
So I have tried several different methods
- Tried to flash with original rom, different roms, CWM and what I can find suitable for international model. But everytime I got stucked in Nand Write part. In some of them, the flash started and stucked in installing some parts(passes the cache and hidden and stuck after that)
- Tried with bricked phone roms, different PIT files and Bootloader Vralec methods.
- When I am trying these, I have tried with 3 different PC's with/without KIES and Samsung drivers installed. When I plug the phone in Download mode, the PC recognizes it as Generic device.
- I manage to flash the CWM but when it restarts it does not go any further than the first splash screen, but in Odin, some time later it turns to pass. Funny, when the phone is on Galasy S3 black splash screen, the pc recognizes the phone and starts to install the driver.
So, here is an interesting flashing story of mine. I really would appreciate your valuable comments and suggestions.
Thanks in advance.

stuck on twrp logo after reset

My phone is a verzon note 2 on deodox 4.3 with twrp recovery. The phone only boots to teamwin logo and flickers on and off. my computer will not recognize my phone either at this point.This is what happened. Ive been having some 4g lte loss and unstable wifi issues to i decided to do a factoty reset. when i rebooted into recovery i was stuck at the twrp logo and it would constantly bootloop the twrp logo.. I restarted my phone and did a factory reset from under the general setting. At that point it rebooted int the twrp but continued to just stay at the logo and would not go into recovery. I pulled the battery and restarted the phone but from that point on it would only boot into the twrp logo and stay there. I can get into download mode but my pc (win7) no longer recognizes the phone so i cant attempt to fix this in odin. Im not sure what to do to get this phone to work properly at this point.

My guess is that when you rooted with CASUAL, it changed the Samsung device driver on your computer and you need to reinstall the Samsung driver to get the computer to recognize the phone again in download mode.
Underneath step 7 of section 1b on Droidstyle's restore guide, he discusses issue with CASUAL replacing the Samsung driver... and he gives a link to Jeremy Loper's fix... "If odin no longer recognizes your device, most likely Casual killed the driver for odin!! follow this tutorial for restoring the driver: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zzghcV8HVVk"
Once the computer recognizes the phone again, you should be able to use ODIN to restore back to 4.1.2 so you can root/unlock again with CASUAL. After you get the phone restored with Odin, I would recommend booting into Stock Recovery and wiping cache/doing factory reset before running Casual again... this would enure you are starting over with a totally clean slate.
If the above doesn't work, then here's a thread where I tried to help someone else who couldn't get their computer to recognize the phone.... maybe some of those ideas will help - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=55833998
Good luck!!
1 step forward two steps back. I got my pc /odin to recognizes my note 2(changed usb cords). Then tried to odin back to stock 4.1.2. At first odin kept saying (odin not responding) and would ask to close the program,after several attemps i final got it to flash the 4.1.2 file. When i flashed the file and was at the point where it reboots, it would not get past the samsung note 2 logo and continued to flicker and not boot up even when i tried to put it into download mode like it said to in this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2024207. When i tried to reflash the file it failed. when i attempted again it just hangs at setupconnection. Tried again and it failed. Btw thanks for the help mattnmag.
Got it working! i simply forgot to place the sch-i605 pit. into the pit section of odin when i flashed the 4.1.2 rom.
Similar problems
I was running AllianceROM 26. My phone had been spontaneously rebooting for a bit recently. Today, it started to spontaneously reboot again, but this time, it never got past the Galaxy Note 2 screen. After pulling the battery, I tried to boot into TWRP. It just hangs on the twrp boot screen for a few minutes but never goes into twrp.
I figured I would try taking it back to stock. So, I used ODIN to try and put 4.1.2 on it and a new PIT file. That appeared to work fine. I got no errors in ODIN. However, I still cannot get this thing to get past these boot screens, either the Galaxy Note 2 one or TWRP when I try that there. I have tried this twice now, once with re-partition checked and another time with re-partition unchecked (saw conflicting instructions on that so I figured I would try it both ways). I still am not getting past the boot screen.
Any help or ideas are appreciated as right now, my phone appears to be bricked and I am out of ideas.
so what was the solution to the teamwin flashing on and off after a factory reset? this is certainly not a solution, having to reflash the phone...

[Q] SM-N900P is stuck in a boot loop

This is the problem I am having with my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (SM-N900P). This problem just popped up out of the blue on a stock ROM a few days ago and nothing I have tried has gotten close to fixing the issue
Description:
a) The boot sequence repeats in a loop with no more sound. The phone would reboot at the Sprint splash screen
What I've done so far:
a) Pulled the battery and depleted the capacitors
b) Installed TWRP and did a complete wipe
c) Tried installing a custom ROM to see if the issue persisted. ROMs failed to install as /system was being sketchy (at times it was reporting 0MB for partition and then an actual value after repair). When I managed to get a ROM to install still stuck in the boot loop
d) Used Odin to do a full restore to a stock NC5 ROM. The phone got up to initial configuration page and then rebooted, now only gets to the Samsung splash screen before rebooting
Items that I can get into:
Recovery mode
Download mode
I have a 30 second video of it rebooting but cannot post it currently due to the forum rules
Question:
Is this issue fixable or is it a sign of internal memory failure?
Try an older version of TWRP, i.e. 2.8.5.0
Or, try a different recovery.
I'm not sure that it will work, but it's worth a try.
Good luck!
Are you doing it this way?

I didn't notice that but I just installed TWRP 2.8.0.0 through Odin (like a few minutes ago). Phone actually managed to get to the stock recovery image config screen and was working as long as the cable was still attached to the computer.
As soon as I removed the cable it went straight back to the boot loop

Here is what you need to do. First pull battery, reinstall. If you can boot into twrp recovery, fine wipe everything i.e. caches, system, data, etc. If you are on a stock recovery do a factory reset. Pull battery, reinstall and boot into download mode.
NOW let's go to work. First use odin to flash stock NC5 tar. Chances are it will bootloop, STOP !!!! don't panic. Just reflash with odin again. The second time it should take. Remember that your device is setting up for first time use. This will take 3-5 minutes, sitting at the Samsung logo. Since didn't list the most important thing which is what OS you where on where the device Borked, or what you where doing with the device when it Borked. I'm going to assume it was on 4.4.4 and you tried to downgrade to 4.4.2 NC5. In which case a bootloop on the first bootup after a downgrade is normal, you have to flash twice to reset the bootloader. For more info click on rom flashing basics in my signature. Enjoy !!!
Problem solved. I started getting suspicious when the phone would boot up with the charging cable attached to the computer today
The issue was an aftermarket Mugen Power battery that developed a fault. Put the stock battery back in and problem resolved
Thanks for the help guys

My S3 is in a TWRP loop and the phone has a broken Charging/USB port

Hey all,
I installed Omega ROM v6.1 on my i9300 and for a while it was good.
Unfortunately one day it decided to crash and crash hard.
It was stuck in a boot loop and so I decided to wipe all the system, cache and factory reset in TWRP.
I then tried to reflash the ROM but it did not reinstall the full thing.
I believe this was down to the fact that I did not perform format data, as I have some mp3's on the internal storage that I wanted to save.
I tried to copy the files from the internal storage to the external micro sd card. This worked at first but then it quit part way through.
I thought this was due to the low battery so I charged and tried to resume. However whenever I tried to copy or move the files over to the external storage the next time it just failed.
I tried to do this a few times as I noticed it would work for a few seconds or a minute before quitting and so thought I could get them all eventually.
The total size of the folder is 2.4GB.
After doing this a few times my phone then decided to boot loop TWRP. It will sit on the startup screen of TWRP but when you try to do something it then resets.
I am running TWRP version v2.3.1.0.
As mentioned before I cannot connect my phone to a computer as the connection port is broken too.
Any help on this matter would be appreciated. I have searched the web for hours but found no such luck.
Kind Regards,
Shaun
You can try reflashing twrp but don't hold your breath.
Without the usb port the device cannot be flashed unless you have mobile odin, for which your device needs to be working.
The only other way is try holding all of the buttons on the device until it boots. Sometimes devices do a reboot when you hold all of the buttons. You must be exact and get all of them at precisely the same time. If no joy then the phone is goosed.
Thanks bro
Thanks for your help, a week or 2 later it decided not to turn on at all....
Think it's toast mate.
Just grabbed and s7 instead
