[Q] Galaxy Ace S5830 Reboot Loop

Okay so recently I tried flashing a custom Cyanogen mod 10.1 to my S5830 yet I did not install ClockworkMod. My phone is now caught in a reboot loop where it gets stuck on the Samsung loading screen, and does not change, I tried entering recovery mode and "wipe data/factory reset" but it comes up with the error E:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/stl14, and when I try to wipe the cache partition i get the same error. I have also tried flashing stock standard drivers back to the phone, through Odin Multiloader, yet Odin does not pick up my phone due to being unable to boot my phone up.
For Odin I can load all the files yet I cannot start due to it not identifying my phone.
Any help regarding this issue would be immensely appreciated.

First, try to flash a stock rom using odin,should to work. You canĀ“t install a custom rom with the stock revovery, you need CWM, so thar flash and stock rom.

Do you have the galaxy ace drivers on your pc? If not your pc can't connect to your ace.
To use odin it isn't necessary to boot up your phone as far I know. You have to go into the download mode and then use odin.

I do have the drivers installed on my computer, yet when I enter download mode as soon as I connect my ace to my laptop it restarts into the bootup loop again. I have all the necessary files to initiate the stock reset, such as cooper.ops and the MD5 file, yet all I need is for Odin to register my phone When I connect my phone to my laptop in download mode I get a 5 second (give or take) window before it restarts itself.
Any pointers into which I could get Odin to connect to my phone would be much appreciated.
As I said I have all the necessary files but Odin just does not register my phone

[Q] Boot and Disk Partition Problems with GT-I9300 (Samsung Galaxy S III )

Everything that happened:
1) I rooted my GT-I9300 using ODIN v3.07 and CWM Recovery
2)I installed zip of Resurrection Remix Kitkat ROM for S3 using CWM
3) I hated it to the core!
4)I flashed the official stock ROM of 4.3 JB using ODIN
5) I realized that USB Debugging was off!
6) My phone gets stuck at the Samsung logo and doesn't even load into recovery mode!
7) It boots into download mode, I flash the 4.1.2 JB ROM for S3 using ODIN
8)The Samsung logo appears, disappears and then again appears! This goes on forever!!
9)This time it boots into Android Recovery and displays the error: E: failed to mount data (Invalid Argument) cant find /data
10) The phone restarts and continues the boot-looping!!
11) I try to restore it with Kies3 using Firmware Upgrade and Initialization
12) It upgrades the firmware to 4.3 JB but the things that happened in NO. 6 continue!
13) I realised its time for the xda people to help me out!!
Things I have:
1) My Bricked Samsung Galaxy S III (International) GT-I9300
2) USB Cable
3) A Windows 7 PC with 2GB RAM
4) An Internet Connection
Can someone please explain what has happened to my phone and what should I do to get it back on stock ROM?
Please help me as I dont want to buy a new phone!
Note: If you have 16 GB of I9300, apply this guide
I think you can restore your device via repartition with a PIT file. I uploaded Odin and PIT file that I use. You can download it from attachments
You should install this ROM via PIT file; http://samsung-updates.com/details/25147/Galaxy_S_3_International/GT-I9300/TUR/I9300XXUGNB6.html
Make sure select PIT file in Odin before installation.
I live in India. Can you suggest an INU or INS rom?
I flashed my phone with PIT file and (INS_I9300XWUGML4_I9300ODDGML4_I9300DDUGMK1) 4.3 JB ROM. No Progress!!

Can you try install with my suggested ROM? If it will success, you can install your country's ROM anyway.
After installing it via PIT file, wait for boot. If it stuck in Samsung logo, remove battery,insert the battery again, boot into recovery and try to wipe data.
I'm saying again; Make sure select PIT file in Odin before installation.
Did you try a wipe data when you flashed second stock ROM?? When you got in recovery

I installed the ROM with the PIT file but still no progress!
A new problem:
1) I went to the Samsung people expecting some help
2) And they did the most cruel thing on this earth!!! They said
"The binary counter says 4. That means you have flashed the ROM customly. This has void the warranty of your device. We cant help you if you have void your warranty. Sorry!"

[Q] Samsung galaxy s3 soft bricked. I need help!

So I was trying to root my galaxy s3 and I did the wrong root and it messed it up. I'm stuck on a screen that says "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mod in kies and try again." I can go to downloading mode but not recovery mode. Please help!!!
Flash a stock firmware with Odin, if it succedes then boot into recovery and factory reset.
Flashing the wrong root file is usually fatal, either to the screen or motherboard so best of luck.
SGH-t999

Dm verity verification failed is problem with Imei.
Have you tried to flash the firmware that I posted?
1st - go into download mode on device. Hold home power and up.
Plug device in to odin.. on odin it should have blue box saying COM:1 or something like that.
Extract the firmware and put the .tar file in AP.
Make sure auto reboot and re partition are UNCHECKED.
Then start.
Try this and post a screenshot on here of odin one it's finished.
I had exactly the same issue and flashing this firmware fixed it.

Boot into recovery, wipe cache partition and factory data reset. This should fix it.
If it sticks on android is starting just wait. It can take a while.
If this doesn't work let me know

Well, the only problem I could think of is wrong Rom which causes a boot loop. However please do install the stock ROM from doing a permanent damage to your phone. And due time another developer will create another ROM for the phone.
ALL SAMSUNG STOCK ROMS CAN BE FOUND ON THIS WEBSITE:
