Okay, So the title pretty much says it all. I am stuck at the Samsung boot logo (not bootanimation) and it only shows for about 1 second then reboots and continues.
This started after I tried to flash a rom and it messed up and I tried to flash via odin. I was on MJ9 and and got a bootloop so I did the odin thing. I've used odin before but it is not working well for me now.
I am able to boot into download mode but TWRP no longer works. I was able to flash via odin and it says success but the phone does not reboot like it should.
I have purchased a galaxy nexus on the cheap to hold me over until the nexus 6 is out but if I can fix my note, I would like to.
I know there were other threads about this same issue but it seems that they are all on a different version of the note, or on a s3 or something. Not to mention, I don't see anything that I could try without asking for some help on here. Can someone maybe point me in the direction of the factory firmware (preferably a rootable or already rooted version) that I can flash that will play well with my note.
Thanks guys!!!

Before you tried to flash a custom ROM and things went wonky...were you on Verizon's factory stock 4.3 MJ9 firmware, or on Beanstown106’s modified 4.3 MJ9 with TWRP installed?
Does the phone still boot into stock recovery? If so, you may be able to fix the phone by doing a factory reset.

If you were on Verizon's factory stock 4.3 MJ9, then you won't be able to Odin flash back to 4.1.2 or any earlier Android version because the bootloader has been locked down tight on 4.3 (and 4.4.2) with no current do it yourself method to unlock for those newer versions. You would want to restore the phone back to factory stock 4.3 though, if that's what version you were on before your phone got messed up. You can root the phone on 4.3 with saferoot, then use safestrap recovery to flash some custom Touchwiz ROM's.
If you were on the 4.1.2 based bootloader, (but running Beanstown106’s MJ9 firmware and TWRP), then you would want to restore your phone back to factory stock 4.1.2 and then root and unlock the bootloader again with CASUAL. This would give you the most flexibility with flashing custom kernels, ROM's, etc...
Check out Section 1b in Droidstyle's restore guide at this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34891181. The guide has download links for the files you'll need to restore the phone back to the correct build version.

So I've got this issue I never had before.
It started happening after I screwed something up with the EFS I think.
I was flashing some custom roms after the 4.3 official update and then tried to go back to 4.1 official.
Had the no network problem, but fixed it flashing the vodafone stock 4.3 official again.
Reading all the stuff about EFS confused me, and I deleted the EFS folder and copied an old backup (or so I think, because I'm not sure. I had a EFS backup on my sdcard and extsd I think).
I no longer have the no network issue, but everytime I flash a stock rom through Odin the phone gets stuck at the samsung logo, so I have to root the phone and install TWRP using Odin and then wipe. I know this way fixes this, but what I'm looking for is to fixed the problem completely so I don't have to install a custom recovery or root after using Odin to go back to official samsung rom.
Any ideas?
What should I do?
Maybe the phone gets stuck at the samsung logo because all of this EFS thing, but, like I said, I no longer have the no network issue.
All I want is for the phone to boot normally into the setup after flashing a samsung rom using Odin.
It just gets stuck every single time since I had this problem with the EFS, when before this never happened.
try to install the rom in recovery mode

I had this problem before (flash 4.1.2 in current 4.2.2 by odin), here's my solution.
Maybe you can install your ROM in recovery mode. (CWM based)
Remember to wipe completely before installing

I can flash custom roms through TWRP, but what I'm looking for is to be able to do so again through Odin without ending up stuck at boot always and having to wipe through TWRP to be able to boot properly.
Any ideas?
I'm sure there must be a fix so I don't get stuck at the boot screen after flashing a samsung rom with Odin.
I know the trick wipe factory reset but what I really want is to simply avoid getting stuck at the boot screen after flashing a samsung rom with Odin.

Factory reset is also available in default recovery as well, then what is the issue? Flash then boot to recovery do factory reset.

Thanks.
I'm just trying to find out why my SGS3 now gets stuck at boot when before it never happened.
I'm hoping there's a way to fix it and go back to before, when it never got stuck at boot. There should be a way I guess.
So I have a Sprint Galaxy Mega and it seems as though it may be semi-bricked. It will not boot past the GALAXY MEGA logo. It will just continuously power cycle to and from that logo. If I attempt to put it in recovery, it will say "RECOVERY BOOTING" in blue letters as usual, then power cycle right back to the GALAXY MEGA screen. It will boot into Odin mode and accept Odin files, but after attempting do do a typical "stock Odin" scenario, nothing has changed. I looked around for the Pit but cannot seem to find it. Does anyone has a reliable link to the latest Odin stock restore and the PIT file that matches it?
Maybe an error with your system data. So you can't reboot into recovery ? If you can try to wipe data and cache and reboot.
It may be an abnormal re-partition when flashing stock rock, and then I can't help you (have the i9205 international model). Some members of this section have the Sprint version, try to send them a PM if nobody can help you
Nope, no recovery. I was considering flashing a custom recovery to it to see what it does but I don't wanna kill the phone any more than it already is...
Yes I understand. But flashing custom recovery can solve your problem, only if you can boot on it. I think it can't make more damages to your phone, he just always stuck on boot phase like a brick, but if you don't want to try, wait for a developer making you a PIT file. More safe, the Galaxy Mega have a too poor development support for risk anything...
Well I went ahead and flashed TWRP to it. It will boot into TWRP just fine. Tried flashing the stock L900 ROM zip and it still won't boot.
Well I installed a custom ROM, SlimKat, and the phone boots. If I install the stock ROM located in the following link, OP's signature, the phone goes right back to bootlooping. ???
I need either the stock ROM or a ROM with dialer codes because this phone will be flashed to a regional carrier.
what recovry version you use bro. maybe recovery problem. try use your custom rom to flash another recovery from philz. the latest one. some time recovery dont work properly to downgrade from 4.4.2 to stock 4.2.2.
Great, so with Philz Touch Recovery, I never had problems for downgrade and I do this often for testing roms. Now it should not bootloop if you reflash stock.
I am using "CWM-based recovery 6.0.4.7"
I will try Philz recovery
After trying Philz recovery to flash the stock file I found, it once again bootlooped. Is there another stock ROM floating around somewhere or possibly a custom ROM that has dialer codes such as ##3282# enabled?
No idea... But actually the most complete stock based custom rom is MegaFire I think. Flash V5 (not V5x !) it should be enabled.
I don't see what is the problem while flashing stock rom... Oh ! Maybe you haven't enabled USB Debugging, I forgot to do that one time and I had some issues, in case you try to flash a firmware where Knox or others features are on with a modem without these, may cause bootloop. I've searched for 2 days before solve that little problem...
Have you tried another firmware ? If you can flash custom rom, something went wrong before flash... Odin folder is complete ?
Strange...once again a boot loop after flashing the MegaFire ROM
I'm almost certain I need the PIT file. I cannot find it anywhere.
Well I got the phone to boot from that rooted stock ROM FINALLY. I don't remember for sure but I think what I did was first flash TWRP, then flashed boot.img.tar that I found somewhere, it was listed for the Sprint Mega. I then booted into TWRP and flashed the stock rooted ROM(zip) I mentioned before. It now boots perfectly and everything works except one tiny little detail. No WiFi, no cellular signal at all. Baseband version: unknown in About phone.Already tried flashing the Sprint stock modem from the same download link as the ROM and it didn't work.
I'm having the same problem too dude, I
I download n flash all.the firmware I could find online, since I have no idea what the country of origin is. But most of them work, but no WiFi, Bluetoothand the sim card slot don't read

Device: AT&T Galaxy S III (SGH-I747) Rooted
ROM: Cyanogenmod 11
I have had my phone rooted and running a custom ROM for a few months now and I have decided that I no longer want to run a custom ROM. I looked up how to go back to stock ROM and everything said to: wipe cache and do a factory reset, download latest stock ROM off of Samsung's firmware website and flash the ROM from Odin. Every time that I did this, it would always fail even if i tried to install from recovery mode. I tried a few more times and it still didn't work. One post said that it was because TWRP, i downloaded and installed the stock recovery (which was the only successful install) and the other installs still didn't work through odin or recovery mode.
Is there anything that I am doing wrong, am I leaving a step out, or is something just flat out wrong with my device?
Assistance would be greatly appreciated!
Well here's the story..... So I want to install a custom ROM via SS, the install goes without issue. (I'm running stock NK1 Rooted at the time) I go to install a ROM , and It fails, so I go to reboot the device, and Its back into a bootloop. No big deal, iv'e delt with this before... .I attempt to flash it back to stock NC5 to root it and start over, the flash succeeds, but when I try to boot it i just get the "Samsung Galaxy S4" logo and it sits there doing nothing, and I cant boot into recovery for some reason, just goes back to ODIN mode. Is there anything that can be done?

Try a reflash via Odin. It may help. Which image are you flashing?
Sent from the gap between universes.
Hello all. After trying to get various Custom ROMs working, CM 11, 13 or Slimkat 9, unofficial 9.1, no version worked properly with phone signal.. I ended up experimenting with flashing modems or going back to stock firmware and doing all the steps from there but still couldn't make it work.
Stock firmware that came with the phone 4.1.2 (KIES_HOME_I9300XXEMG4_I9300OXAEMG4_1314436_REV00_user_low_ship) was perfectly fine also (I9300XXUGPE1_I9300AMNGPF1_I9300BVUGNB2_HOME) which it's 4.3 from orange spain was fine, tried one from my country and ran fine, also 4.3. Then I found out about this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/help/guide-emergency-calls-problem-siii-i9300-t2752541 and by mistake I flashed first the patched modem following this order of events :
4.1.2 STOCK > 4.3 Movistar STOCK > Slimkat Unofficial 9.1 latest > all fine but no signal. Then:
4.1.2 STOCK > 4.3 Movistar STOCK > Slimkat Unofficial 9.1 latest > flashed patched modem from thread above, boot loop.
Then tried to flash the original stock from the phone, didn't work. Stock from my country doesn't work. Stock from spain doesn't work but it goes a bit further in the first boot going to android updating apps , it finishes updating apps and goes into boot loop. That's it. At the moment I can flash with odin or go into downloading mode. When the phone is off, it can manage to charge the battery without problem.
How should i proceed now?
Thank you, I hope you can help or advice me.
EDIT 1: I also tried to flash the firmware from the above thread, the i9300 UK (BTU) but no luck.

Odin can't flash a stock ROM or you can flash a stock ROM but the ROM doesn't boot all the way?

Hey again audit13. It can flash the ROM fine but it gets stuck in boot loop. I'm trying to find the stock ROM with the 3 files but no luck yet, im hoping that can get to do a proper reset factory of everything.
Are you flashing the latest stock ROM from sammobile.com? This file would have everything in one file.

This one gets to passed the first time the loop till android updating apps dialogue, then goes to boot loop.
Are you performing a factory wipe using stock recovery before booting the flashed stock ROM for the first time?

Wiped, then did a reboot in the default recovery mode. All went to normal again. I still need to figure out how to get a Custom ROM without screwing up everything again.. Thanks for your quick support.
Glad you got it working. One thing I would not recommend is flashing a patched modem. The stock modem is the best modem in my opinion.
