Hello everyone,
I had CM11 installed on my Samsung galaxy S3 I9300. But I wanted to trade my phone with my dads and he wanted the simple stock rom (Android 4.3). I tried flashing the stock rom on it which went good until the last step when it should reboot itself. But i'm stuck at the samsung logo, I tried everything (pulling out battery, rebooting it, install stock rom again,...).
And I even can't get in recovery mode. The only possible mode in can get in is download mode. What can the problem be? Have I done something wrong? Should I try to install another stock rom from another country? Is there another way to get in recovery mode? I am from Belgium and I can't find the "Belgian stock rom", so I tried installing it from the Netherlands, is that the problem?
Thanks already.
What is the filename of the stock ROM you flashed and which options did you select in Odin?

First thing you should always do after flashing stock rom or any rom that causes a boot loop is to boot into recovery and factory reset then wipe cache this solves 90% of bootloops. Now I know you said you can't get into recovery so try flashing a custom recovery with odin then try booting into that and then factory reset.

Hi there.
I had a custom rom on my Galaxy S3, and I wanted to go back to stock rom. Before I had a custom rom, I checked my product code, just in case if I ever wanted to flash stock rom. So, I downloaded a stock rom from sammobile and flashed it with Odin. I had a successful flash, but when the phone rebooted, it stopped at the samsung logo and it's like that every time I turn on the phone.
I aslo tried to flash it with the same rom, but from a different site (androidfirmwares), but every time I treid to do that, Odin crashed ( Odin downloader has stopped working).
I can't even boot into CWR to flash any custom rom, cuz it's gone. There is only stock recovery.
Please help
Which Rom were you trying to flash when this happened, and give details of how you flashed please

if you are getting stuck on the boot screen after you flashed the stock rom this always works..go to recovery do a data reset and wipe cache.
this is really weird and a stupid thing I did when I was completely new to android..a little over a month ago.I got stuck on the boot screen and accidentally flash CF-Root instead of the stock firmware..when the phone rebooted it worked just fine.I dont think its supposed to work that way..:S

Guys I was flashing few roms and then what I did I used odin to flash my ICS official rom that I downloaded from Samfire and now my tablet i.e. Samsung Galaxy Tab gt p6200 or 10.1 is just struck on the samsung logo n it is restarting by it on and then again struck to the logo. I can access recovery and download mode. I think hard reset would correct it but when m going in recovery mode then its clearing cache but not hard resetting it, the same is with CWM. I tries to flash with bootloader in odin but that also did not worked. I tried to flash honeycomb rom but then also the same error. Pls help me guys its really important! M Scared :crying:

I hope you've flashed correct rom for your tablet.
If not try to flash stock rom for your tablet, and do wipes(cache, data) from stock recovery

its not wiping the data in recovery and now I'm able to go to the download mode but while flashing it fails and I'm sure that I'm flashing correct rom.
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.
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!
Hi guys, my mothers SGS3 is stuck on bootloop (well just freezes on samsung logo), it was on stock firmware when the problem first occured, i've tried flashing cwm via odin, wiping absolutely everything and then reflashing stock firmware, but problem persisted, i've tried rooting, flashing cwm, and then installing cyanogenmod to no avail.
does anybody have any other ideas that i could try.
Thanks in advance guys.

You flashed stock firmware with Odin, was the flash successful ?
If you need to use recovery, flash TWRP or Philz, CWM is not updated anymore
Try flashing one of the firmwares in this thread.
yeah as far as odin was concerned the flash was successful and set the phone to reboot, but it still just hung at the samsung logo, and right ok im a bit out dated using cwm then it's been a while :Lthanks for the links i'll give it another crack now
thanks again

i've tried flashing CM and MIUI using the two recoveries you linked, still no joy. The download links for the firmware doesn't work but i found an equivalent that also has bootloader, csc files etc and still no joy, odin does it's business and says in green pass at the end of it all but it still hangs on the samsung logo, even when i installed miui, it would install all as planned, but then on the reboot it just hangs at the MIUI logo.
i'm lost completely i've never been defeated by a phone :L
