Hi,
I have a hand me down Galaxy S3 which seems to have a custom rom (it's loaded with TWRP 2.x). This device is stuck in reboot loop. Here's what I've tried so far:
1. Cleared dalvik cache
2. Cleared normal cache
It still is stuck in the loop
Downloaded Odin 3.12 and twrp-3.0.2-2-i9300.img.tar.md5, but Odin keeps freezing (Windows 10) so I can't get that to work.
I downloaded the Samsung USB tool from Samsung's website as well. I'm at my wits end on how to fix this reboot loop issue. Any ideas here?
Also, I have NOT been able to find a stock Android ROM for this device either.
Any help is appreciated. What I currently have access to:
1. TWRP screen (with volume up + power + home)
2. Download home (volume down + power + home)
Thanks
The only stock ROM for this phone that can be flashed with Odin is 4.1.1 because AT&T only released ota updates after 4.1.1.
The AT&T s3 forum is here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3-att

Hi,
Recently I have received and installed a new CM nighly release after that my tablet worked for several days and then went into bootloop. First it was booting into OS for a minute or so and then reloading. I have tried to install a previous nighly release from settings menu and device just started to bootloop on CM logo. Sometimes it just frezees on this logo.
I tried then to wipe data from recovery mode, but it just freezes on formatting /data, wiping cash goes ok.
I also updated to CWM 6.0.3.1 touch and tried to wipe data but it also freezes.
I have stuck at this point as I can't reinstall CM 10.1 on my device, and I need your help please.
My device: Samsung Galaxy tab 10.1 GSM
Cyanogenmod 10.1
ClockWork Recovery 6.0.3.1
Actually I finally fixed it.
It might be interesting for some one.
So, in the end I have flashed/installed official ROM from samsung-updates. com
Just simply done it download mode via Odin 1.85 (added to PDA and pressed start). After that my tablet returned to stock firmware but did not want to load into OS and just was showing Samsung logo. I have waited may be 20 min for it and then reloaded in recovery and from recovery mode (power + vol down) managed to finally wipe data. After that my ablet reloaded and Ta-Da it loaded official firmware with all my previous apps.
I am happy Hope that may help someone.
Model is the GT-S7275T.
I've tried all the guides here and on other sites too (blasphemy! I know.) and nothing has got it to work.
I've been trying to install cyanogenmod (the unofficial one in these forums) for the phone, but I can't boot into clockworkmod in order to install the rom. Everytime it does, it simply gets stuck on the logo screen with "booting recovery...." in the top corner. I've tried booting into recovery from the cwm app, same effect. I managed to root the phone using some chinese universal rooting software, which seemed to work. But nothing beyond that. I've been at this for hours now, any help would be appreciated.
I've successfully installed cyanogenmod onto a previous phone and didn't hit any speedbumps this big.
Odin
Try to flash CWM using Odin in download mode (VOL DOWN + HOME + POWER)
Help!
Wanted to install a clean copy of android. Did it using odin (several versions).
Now it get stuck on infinite loop (Samsung logo).
The only way out is by going to Odin mode again (vol down + home + power) - but i already made all the installation (both edge and regular s6 md5s)
I cant manage to get into the recovery mode (vol up + home + power doesn't do anything).
Tried to drain the battery and than boot into recovery mode but it goes to infinite loop (Samsung logo) again,
Any solutions?
Thanks

Have you tried Smart Switch? Try initializing it via Smart Switch, got a bootloop also this other time, but that was because activated Knox after rooting via PingPong

Nothing happening, smart switch does not recognizing the phone.
The only firmware that im succeeding to install (without being stuck on infinite loop) is my original provider firmware (which i dont want = its full with bloatware).
Does it means that i cant install other firmwares at all? all i want is a clean install

I'm not sure, it might mean that you can't install other firmware, anyway I'm using the stock one, and i disabled all the bloatware via Debloater
hi i was trying to flash cwm into samsung galaxy core gt i8262 via odin
instead of showing pass or fail it showed me something else i forgot may be "reset"
when i reboot there was caution sign below the samsung logo this time but device worked properly
but i was unable to go into cwm. but as i did factory reset device went into cwm mode and not comming out of it
my device was not rooted at the time of installing cwm
pls help me
Stuck into booting into CWM every time after factory reset (Samsung Galaxy GT-I8262)
Peace!
Don't worry, dude! I had the same problem with my Galaxy Core I8262 when I factory-reset it from the Settings menu. I had the ClockworkMod Recovery installed already. It was stuck into booting CWM every time. Odin was unable to detect it either. So, here's how I managed it.
1. Restart Windows. And if it's stuck at the shutdown menu too, then force-shutdown it (by pressing the power button or turning off the power supply) and then start if manually.
2. After booting into Windows, reinstall Samsung drivers by completely uninstalling them first.
3. After successful installation, restart Windows once again.
4. Run Odin and connect your Android in Download Mode (Volume down + Home + Power). This time Odin must detect it, trust me!
5. Flash the CWM Recovery again via Odin (using the recovery.tar file).
6. Now you'll be able to boot into CWM as well as the ROM. But if you see your Android not going beyond the Samsung model logo then you'll need to download an official firmware file for your Galaxy Core and flash it via Odin.
I also used the 'format /system' option in CWM which might have wiped my system files. Let me know if the above procedure helps you.

(Please excuse my poor English)
I have a Galaxy S3 i9300. OS is Android 4.3, rooted, and old version CWM recovery installed.
I can't remember exact OS and CWM recovery versions, because I had installed them years ago.
Today, I had decided to upgrade my old CWM recovery. I installed ROM Manager apps from
Google Play Store. (I installed and used the Rom Manager app for the first time)
I ran the Rom Manager app and upgraded CWM recovery as the app instructed. No errors were
reported. Then I chose "Reboot into Recovery".
Then the big trouble happend.
1. Normal "Samsung GALAXY S III GT-I9300" boot message appeared
2. Small Hat image and "ClockworkMode Recovery v6.0.4.6" message appeared
3. Screen blacked out.
4. Repeat 1~3 infinitely.
When I tried to connect via USB, my Windows7 PC could not recognize the i9300 at all.
I cannot use the i9300 as phone, too. I cannot do anything at all.
How can I fix this big trouble?
I have the same problem with TWRP recovery, keeps rebooting over and over again, sometimes the recovery menu appearing and reboots after some seconds automatically, please help
I had the same problem with my i9300 with CWM recovery it kept booting back to recovery no mather what i did i can recoment 2 things
1.flash new recovery with odin(did not try this but xould help
2. Flash original samsung firmware also with odin (this helped me)
My advice i olny flash recovery with odin roms with recovery
Thank you. I could fix the problem by flashing another kind of recovery app.
1. Enter the odin mode (press volume_down + home + power when power up , http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Odin_mode )
2. Connect i9300 to PC via USB
3. Flash another kind of recovery app using Odin (in my case. CWMs are not work, but TWRPs are good)
