Help! Stuck at TWRP logo. - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello there i was using CyanogenMod 13 (Nightlies) on my Galaxy S3 i9300.For some reason i've got to reset my phone.Simply i went to settings and from there i performed the Factory Reset but when the mobile restarted it got stuck at TWRP recovery logo (it didn't successfully perform the resetting process).
Now i can only go to Download Mode.
Any help would be appreciated.

Did you go into twrp and wiping cache and formatting data?

Sir you mean Download the Stock Firmware and Flash it with Odin..........!
Is that the solution to my problem!

Yes. The only one.
Afterwards root, TWRP, efs-backup, any CustomROM.

A problem with all JB 4.3 ROM I've tried

Hi, all!
I have that annoying problem with all the 4.3 ROM I've tried with no exception. Everything is fine until the first reboot. Then it's stuck on the first Galaxy SIII boot logo. I'm using TWRP - the latest version if it matters.
I always wipe everything first.
Please give more details on how you flash it.

If you did all required wipes and followed the instructions did you try a different recovery? I read in the SB thread for example of people having issues with TWRP
Sent from my Nexus 7 (2013)
I am sorry for the wrong section. May I ask some to move it to Q&A?
I always wipe data, cash, dalvik cash, system. Then install the ROM and gapps...
After the restart I set up the google account and etc. And after the first restart the phone freezes. That's all.
I'll try with different recovery.
PS. I've just tried CWM recovery 6.0.3.3. and Omega AOSP v9. Still the same.
Try cwm 6.0.3.6 and after you install the rom and after its set up go to recovery and factory reset

That's strange, I run Philz recovery and every 4.3 flash till now went through without issue.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
I tried all the recoveries I could find. Including Philz. Still the same.
And something else strange. I installed CWM, CWM, touch and Philz and with them I made backups. After restoration of the backup the phone freezes. I also tried to install Omega 49 and the installation goes OK, but freezes before the first start-up.
The only solution was to install manually TWRP (Odin) to restore some of my old backups. I'm beginning to think that there is something wrong with my phone. It's black if it is important.
Suggest total wipe of phone install your stock rom and test
Hi,
I just want to say I'm also having the same problem.
Started using TWRP with full wipe, same issue on 4.3 and no issues on 4.2.
On latest CWM same problem and 4.2 wont even pass the first boot on Samsung logo.
Also had to use Odin to get back on TWRP and flash a 4.2 rom again.
Anyway there is one more thing I would like to try but haven't had the chance to do so, is installing the latest modem and ril. But I'm kind skeptic about that currently because there is also some risks and my S3 is my daily driver.
Don't change the ril on any custom as you stand a big chance of breaking the calls and Tex's. Modem yes but not ril. Do change to cwm and retry.

Thanks for the info, I was planning to read more about it before I would make an attempt. BTW already tried CWM that only made things worse, couldn't flash any rom without getting stuck on samsung screen.

You are doing a full wipe?. System and data is the main thing to wipe not just factory reset. So go into mounts and storage and format data,system and cache there then flash the rom /gapps.

yes tried that, also used the mega wipe zip thing
Start fresh and flash stock with Odin then try again after you root and install cwm.

Tried to go stock and flashed a 4.3 rom again that fixed my problem. =)
Thanks! :good:
I'll try it too. And one stupid question. Where do I find a stock ROM? I never did it before

Thank you!
But nothing helped. I flashed a stock ROM, with Odin. First I tried with TWRP, and the second time (again after flashing stock) with CWM recovery. I tried two 4.3 ROMs. They both can't boot after the first reboot.

I can't install any custom rom.

Hi, I can't install any custom rom on my friend's samsung s2.

This is what I did to root my phone.
I then tried installing CM and Slimbean and both just stop at the boot animation upon first start.+
Help!

After flashing CM did you factory reset straight after flashing the rom?

Go back to recovery, wipe data' cache and dalvik, then reboot. Failing that, find a tar file fire the ROM you want, go back into download mode, connect phone to PC and start Odin, place tar in PDA and flash through odin then you should be good to go.
Hope this helps.

Can you get into recovery or download mode? If yes full wipe in recovery and install a new rom or flash back to stock with Odin and start again.

Yes install PhilZ recovery it as a option to use file Aroma to backup and move files look here >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2201860 << especially the "Special Features Guide" also it as custom backup options.

Hey, that helped. But when I press the Wipe Data/Factory Reset button, the phone just restarts and gets back in loop.

Be careful because PhilZ as a option to do a normal wipe factory reset but also a option to install a new rom which formats all the necessary files to do that including your system (rom). This can leave you without a rom to boot into if you don't know how to use it propably,I would just recommend just flashing back to stock with Odin (and don't forget to factory reset after using Odin.

If you have tried flashing stock (and you have flashed everything correctly and wiped correctly) and you are still stuck in bootloop the only option I can see is to try the rescue firmware in the stickies forum.
Be very careful and follow instructions carefuly as it containes a pit file,if this failes then I would suggest service repair.

Tried to wipe again and booted up. It just took longer than normal (5mins) and then it booted up as normally. Thank you very much !
Now, if I want to flash Cyanogenmod again (Not Installer !), I just have to root and then flash Cyanogen Mod, right ?

Yep I agree don't use installer seen alot of problems with it... If you just want to install Cyanogen Mod (or any custom rom) with custom recovery then you do not need to root (only root if you want to backup or access anything from system), all custom roms come with root included. Just use a custom recovery wipe then flash your rom (factory reset if it bootloops) done.

[urget]optimizing App-Boot loop even after factory rom.

i flash custom rom i my friend's device then i get the boot loop.
I thought stock rom will solve the problem so i used to odin to flash the stock rom.
Stock rom was flashed successfully but again when it booted up then at optimizing app screen it reboots.
Plz help
It does not reboot to recovery. Mobile is simply restarting and boot loop occurs at "optimizing apps".

Try to reflash CWM and then wipe cache and dalvik cache to see if it boots. If it doesn't boot, try to flash another custom rom to see if it boots
