So I was an idiot and I used EZ-Unlock v1.2 on my rooted Verizon Samsung Galaxy S3 SCH-i535 running stock android 4.4.2. After going through the unlock process, I restarted my phone. It wouldn't even attempt to turn on. So after a little bit of research, I found this guide. I followed the guide for adding the debrick image to an sd card and getting the phone to boot from the sd card. After that, I tried following the steps for putting the debrick image onto the internal storage. Everything seemed to go well, but when I restarted my phone, it got stuck on the "Samsung Galaxy S3" splash screen and won't progress. And since it can boot from internal storage, it won't even try to boot from the previously working sd card. I am able to boot into Odin mode though. So how would I go about fixing this, if possible?
P.S. I did have Safestrap installed on my phone if that makes a difference with anything.
P.P.S I found out that EZ-Unlock isn't compatible with my version of android after I did the unlock process.

Have you had any luck with this?

Try to boot into recovery and wipe data/factory reset, if that doesn't work, continue reading...
Now that you got ya' bootloader working and you can enter Odin, I decided to look up the firmware on sammobile, here is what I got, download the files, remove your battery for 5mins, after 5mins, reinsert and boot into download mode, on Odin, you know the procedure (hopefully), let it flash, once it is done, boot to recovery and wipe data/factory reset, if you don't, you will be stuck in a bootloop. Now, hopefully, it should boot!
I had to install twrp then I was able to restore the my backup from safestrap. Always make a backup!

I flashed the Overcome ROM through CWM on my Rogers Galaxy Tab 10.1. (GT-p7500R) and now it won't boot up. It's stuck on the 'Galaxy Tab' logo. I can enter CWM Recovey (which looks a bit different and is now called Overcome CwM Recovery). I have a backup in the internal storage from CwM but when I choose the zip, it says 'No files found'.
When I finished flashing Overcome, it said that the 'Install from internal storage [was] complete" but I can't boot it up. Help?
Try flashing a second time.

If flashing a second time fails, flash a different ROM (connect your storage while in recovery to acess the internal SD to transfer a new ROM to your device).
Well I got it working by flashing a stock ROM in Odin. I'm still wondering as to what went wrong, though.
I have to root my tab again. Why didn't it work?
err, bump?
Is it possible to flash the ROM using ROM Manager?
not sure about ROM Manager but the instructions on the Overcome page are very well written. Sounds like you either had a bad download or needed to clean your phone of legacy firmware prior to flashing. The fact that the Tab bounced back with stock is good.
Follow the procedures on the Overcome site precisely, including the procedure there for a clean install and you should be fine.
You will need to re-root and install cwm again.
Hello,
I was going to sell my phone to a friend today. I was running CWM recovery and paranoid android ICS. Anyways, I simply went to settings --- > factory reset ---> checked "wipe sd card" and hit OK.
Now it won't boot. It'll go to the Galaxy S II screen and shutoff. It boot loops while trying to boot into recovery mode.
I can, however, get it into download mode. I was looking at guides on here on how to reset it and are confused as can be. Where can I download Heimdall (yes, I googled it, couldn't find the download on their site.)
I'm on Mac OS X, if that helps, however I can get windows if it'll make everything easier.
Thank you
Use the guide linked in my signature, for returning the phone to stock. Link for heimdall is in the guide.
First enter recovery if possible, and perform a wipe data/factory reset from within recovery. If successful, joy.
If not successful, then flash stock using Heimdall, or borrow a pc and use Odin.
Forgot what I said earlier...I hooked up my Windows 7 SSD and booted into Windows.
I flashed everything successfully in Odin (only flashed a PDA/Phone part, not bootloader or CSC.)
Now it's stuck looping "Rethink Possible" AT&T Logo. However, I can get into some form of android recover. I don't know what I can flash through it, though.
Any help?
Thank you

stuck in boot similar problem
I'm having trouble booting my phone. I rooted using Odin3 and siyah 3.4.2 it flashed i was no longer able to view video or the live picture of the camera. I was using another site galaxys2root.com as my guide and failed to be resolved in the forum there. In an attempt to resolve the issue I went into factory reset using power vol+ vol- and tried to wipe the system but it didnt reset competely still had the siyah running. I then attempted to use reset within setting and now i am stuck at the first boot screen "samsung galaxy sII GT-I9100". It will also show charging but only briefly then it goes black. I would just like to get back to stock ROM if possible. Please advise.

Bad choice going to galaxys2root.com. Now I have said it. Let see what we can do to get you back.
1st - if you can get into the recovery mode, go here and download AJ's Siyah kernel. Download your favorite ROM
2nd - Flash the ROM first, then Flash Siyah kernel through recovery. Reboot and you should be good to go.
Enjoy.
Hi folks, mid last week I woke up to a non responsive Galaxy S2. It's been happily running stock Vodafone ICS for over a year, and somehow spontaneously went soft brick on me. Gets stuck at logo screen or goes into boot loop.
Download mode is accessible. I can flash through Odin (1.85 and 3.09) and it reports success. I have successfully put CWM (various versions) on it can can boot into them fine.
Recovery mode is also accessible and appears to be working fine. I can access external SD card no problem.
Attempting to flash through zip from external SD aborts with Mode 7, reporting bad zip or unable to read source file. I have tried removing asserts from install script (educated myself to the risks and made sure the ROM was correct!!) and multiple versions of CM (10.1.3 stable, 10.2 nightly) and multiple versions of CWM recovery (6.0.2.9 is what I've been using mostly, as recommended by CM guide)
Tried running GS2ROMNukeV2.12.zip which reported successful wipe, then attempted zip install from SD with same result (aborted mode 7). Repeated wipe and attempted stock (I9100TDVLSK_I9100THUTLSD_I9100TDVLS3_HOME.tar) from flash through Odin. Reported success, phone booted into recover and applied KOR CSC successfully, then reboot and still stuck at logo screen/boot loop.
I have attempted the fix in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1449771 as best I could wish the resources I could find, but it's hard to follow to the letter with the links broken!!!
I have not tried repartition with PIT as I'm not sure where to get an appropriate PIT file. Advice on this appreciated!
I want to make this clear because people seem to not want to believe it: I did not soft brick my phone flashing it. My best theory at this point is some kind of memory corruption or hardware failure that's causing a boot loop. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. This week I will probably take it in to a repair shop and hope for the best, but tomorrow is a public holiday and I've got nothing to lose by trying any more suggestions.

If memory serves me right this is due to an old version of Recovery, i had the same thing, updated recovery and it flashed zip fine. just as you know. :fingers-crossed:
So I tried TWRP and have had extremely bad luck. I thought I bricked the phone at first, then it was stuck in a boot loop, THEN TWRP could not read from the internal memory, and to top it off, when I finally got the phone to boot up, I went ahead and bought a sim card and got it hooked up to ATT, and when I inserted the sim card, it automatically rebooted the phone into TWRP and reset everything (deleting all my apps and stuff) and got stuck in a boot loop.
I had an old phone and used clockwork mod recovery without any issue. Does anyone know where to find a CWM recovery image for the z5 compact?
Actually, if anyone has even the STOCK recovery I would be forever grateful. I would rather stock than TWRP at this point. I don't want to risk my phone being reset and having everything deleted again.
Same issue, unable to boot rom, TWRP has no access..

I am experiencing the same issue. I would like any working recovery/rom at this point. My Wife has the identical phone. Can I make a copy of hers to help the OP and my phone out?
I followed the following;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/z5-compact/development/rom-cyanogenmod-13-sony-xperia-z5c-t3339930
and have tried a few times now. As well as other versions of TWRP..
On a side note I wouldn't mind testing new roms/features being implemented by developers. Please let me know where the best place to get involved would be.
Thanks in advance,
David.
found a boot.img and TWRP that worked for me..
So after a lot of flashing I found one that works.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/z5-compact/orig-development/twrp-z5-compact-t3235161
at least I can get twrp working for now..
I still can not get CM installed. Each time I get 'Error executing updater binary in zip'. I will have to do some more reading tomorrow.
Hi all
I hope that I am posting in the correct place
I need help with my Galaxy S3 SGH-T999
Recently the phone died on me, it was stock rom and with the updates through some of the apps, the phone stopped working correctly. I don't use the phone for making calls, etc, but need it for pictures and a few other apps. The phone is from T-mobile.
I tried to reset the phone and that worked until all the updates were back on and then back to the same problem.
So I decided to put on a custom rom on the phone.
I have tried the following roms:
cm-14.1-20161225-NIGHTLY-d2tmo
I9300XXUGNB6_I9300OJVGNB3_I9300XXUGNA8_HOME
RevolutionaryS5-V3
Slim-d2tmo-6.0.1.alpha.0.1-UNOFFICIAL-20160516-1346
I first installed CWM recovery and then transferred the roms over to the external sd car (also the internal card), went to boot manager (vol up) and installed the files.
It looked like the installation worked but when selecting reboot, the phone would not come back on.
I then loaded up Kies and reset the phone back to factory defaults and only then does the phone load back up after reboot.
Every time I try the custom rom - I run into the same problem
At first I thought the phone was bricked and found info about the jtag and then found something about using an SD card with the following image installed on it - tmobile-T999_4.3_debrick
With the SD card in the phone I can boot to either menus and also able to get the phone to boot to the slim-d2tmo rom. But when I pull the SD card, the phone won't boot. Nothing, no power, nada
I am not sure what I did wrong, followed the direction on the site and thought I did it correctly.
Not sure if I deleted some file, or partition needed or what. I would greatly appreciate some help with this.
Also I would like a custom rom that is stable and fast. I don't need all the bells and whistles but one thing I would like and that is for the camera to be able to take pictures using voice. I know the stock rom allows for this. Not essential but preferred.
Please help with detailed instructions.
Thanks in advance.
It,s amazing
Please elaborate. What's amazing.
Boot into download mode and confirm the model # of the phone. I see you tried to flash I9300XXUGNB6_I9300OJVGNB3_I9300XXUGNA8_HOME which not for the the T999, it's for the gt-i9300.
I want to flash Ressurection Remix on my Samsung Galaxy S3.
I tried flashing twrp recovery through Odin 3.07, but, it didnt work. I even tried Odin 3.85.
The Android System Recovery 3e, simply refuses to budge.
Please advice.

OPen Odin, uncheck everything except f reset time. Flash TWRP. When you see the word "reset" in the status window, remove the USB cable from the phone, remove the battery, replace the battery, boot directly into recovery.
