Try this first.
If your device is stuck at boot animation or facing boot loop issues then try the following steps:
Disconnect your phone from computer, close Odin and remove phone's battery. Reinsert it back within 3 to 4 seconds, re-launch Odin and then repeat the tutorial from step 4.

Otherwise, just go into your recovery and flash a custom KitKat or a Lollipop ROM. This method would remove all the data present on the phone, so I am assuming that you took a backup before handling odin. To flash a ROM, do this:
1. Download ROM and GApps and put them in your storage(MOUNT SDCARD FROM THE RECOVERY ITSELF)
2. Wipe Data/Factory Reset
3. Wipe Cache Partition
4. Advanced>Wipe Dalvik Cache
5. Flash ROM AND GApps
6. Reboot system.
Then you're good to go.
Regards.

[Q] how to install malice v5.0 for the First time????

how do i install it? im new to this and i need to know if i just flash the most current or do i have to flash a older version then do the new one?
You have to root your phone, and install a custom recovery.
If you already have that, just follow the instructions in the post:
For all users:
-Download Malice.zip and place on your sdcard.
-Boot into Clockwork Recovery and Wipe Data/Factory Reset Before You Move On.
-Flash Malice.zip.-While still in recovery: Wipe Cache Partition, and inside the advanced menu: Wipe Dalvik Cache and Fix Permissions
-Just These Three Steps, Do Not Factory Reset Again.
-Reboot Your Phone AND LET IT SIT. (I know you're excited, but its for the best.)
-After about 10 minutes, you should reboot again to clean things up and wipe out any bugs.
-Enjoy!
The above instructions are perfect, I've recently gone back to malice from simply honey. Don't forget to check out the themes for it as well. I'm using ice blue edition, and the assassin theme looks nice too.
Enjoy the nice ROM.

Do you have Clockwork installed form the Market? If so, you may have to Reinstall Packages twice in the 4 option recovery menu. That shoudl get you into CWR after the second one.
Make sure you have downloaded ROM manager from the market and have installed clockwork recovery from there first. Then if you are in the stock recovery, chooses reinstall packages.... You might have to do this twice I below to get into clockwork.... It's been a while since I've been on stock but that should get you in.

Have you done this prior to installation?
Wipe Data
Wipe Cache
Wipe System
Wipe Dalvik Cache
then install ROM...twice if first failed.
If there's still a problem, redownload the ROM.
Flashing stock Samsung ROM is still flashing a different ROM, you're not going back to the real stock as you are still running a ROM, in this case Samsung's ROM.

flash that in recovery first to wipe eveything then flash the rom and wipe dalvik then reboot and let it sit for 5 - 10 min then reboot again

I used odin and flashed it again. But still it doesn't startup.
I have the ressurection remix rom backed up, so If there is a possibility to get to that backup, then I can use that again and I can try it again to install pure look.

Did you do a full wipe before installing Pure Look S3.
If not reboot into recovery then:-
1 wipe data/factory rest
2 Advanced/wipe dalvik cache
3 Mounts and storage/ format data. format system.
4 reinstall pure rom s3
5 when booted up fully, dial *2767*3855#

Pure Look S3 is a custom rom zip file.
you cannot use Odin to flash it.
It has to be flashed via recovery.
try this:-
1 turn off phone.
2 press volume up/home button/power button at the same time.
3 you should enter recovery.. what recovery is it? 3e or CWM?

1. Use Odin to flash CWM that is compatible with your new ROM
2. Copy your new ROM into phone sdcard
3. Boot into CMW, wipe data/factory cache, wipe davik cache
4. Flash your new ROM and reboot.
Hope this help.

Bootloop Never gets past LG screen now, and all computer software thinks my phone is a Pixel.
Fixed it, phone starts up just fine. Back to stock.
