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.
i would like to know if i still can revive my soft brick korean note (SHV E160L)
I am currently running an official JB 4.1.2 and decided to root my phone to remove the useless apps so what happened is i rooted my phone but it doesnt give me any root access.
i decided to do a factory reset in settings under backup & reset (usb storage was check) and when my phone
reboot, it doesnt booting normally. it only shows the U+ LTE Logo then after a couple of seconds it reboots again & again & again.
i tried to flash the stock ICS UH24 but no luck.
i tried to flash the stock ICS UH24 + PIT File that ive got (checked all auto reboot, repartition & f reset) here but still no luck.
i did this using ODIN and it always showing me a SUCCESS but my phone still stuck in bootloop.
i am willing to donate via paypal just to fix this phone.. please!
thanks in advance!
You may want to give up on going back to stock. Try using odin to install a current version of CWM so that you can boot to recovery mode and try a custom ROM from there.
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.
So i flashed a GT-S5830i stock firmware on as it was branded to Vodafone and wanted an unbranded one but i came across some issues. So i decided to flash back to the original FW but had trouble flashing through odin. I was able to get into recovery until i stupidly decided to flash a CWM Odin flashable file that wasn't compatible for my device. Now i can't seem to get into recovery.
I am however, able to flash stock FW through Odin but that's about it.
I can't Offline charge, get into recovery or boot the phone up.
When i try offline charge, the battery shows for a split second then tries to boot up.
I need to get into recovery to try and factory wipe it to see if that will help. I doubt it though as it doesn't even get to the samsung logo.
I think something is really messed up
Any ideas?
Thanks
I can't seem to boot to recovery and I cant go to OS bc it doesnt have one.
Here is full story:
I wiped /system and /data
Tried to install an updated rom
Phone denies the ROM
Decided to update the recovery as well
Rebooted to recovery
Nothing happened
Probably bc I flashed it via zip, not .tar
Went to Odin or download mode
Tried to install rom
Didn't work (dm-verity issue or something)
Tried to install recovery via odin
Rebooted itself
Boots to Samsung logo
Can't go to recovery
Can't go to os
Only way is odin
Also before it booted to logo
There's a charging symbol which won't go away
I was thinking maybe a custom rom that can be flashable using odin would work?
but i couldnt find any
