i just bricked my phone with script manager,done something wrong.What can i do to unbrick?1 question,can i wipe data/factory reset and phone will be fixed?
What did you mean bricked? Can you turn you phone one, whats happened after this, I think you have only a bootloop. If you can access recovery menu try wipe, if it doesn't help reflash you rom using ODIN.

Your phone is not bricked. You have a minor inconvenience. Wipe everything and flash new firmware.

Choose whatever rom you want and install as normal through recovery. Wipe data/cache/factory reset and install .zip file. Done.

Just to make sure, flash it with a full package. (Zip containing 4 files instead of one big one). It'll turn everything to stock including system format just in case you messed that up. Flash it via ODIN and make sure to follow instructions so you won't have another inconvenience.

can you give me some guides on how to do that?i cant find any
up!!!!!!!!
I rooted for the first time over the weekend. Thought I had a problem with international unlock sim (and wasn't too happy about GPS and mobile data widget) - so it was a good excuse to root... I have a Sprint Note 3 with lollipop (5.0 that I got OTA)
Anyway did the root via CWM via these steps: http://galaxynote3root.com/galaxy-note-3-root/how-to-root-galaxy-note-3/ I was able to install titanium backup and backuped app and my personal stock sprint.
There after I flashed 1. gummy rom 2. restored my personal sprint rom backup 3. CM12 and 4. latest Kitkat Killer version.
On all these flashes I got hung on the bootup logo. I reflashed after waiting 10 minutes and the same thing happens (some say it would work on the second flash...but alas!)
From what I gather it's because I am going from 5.0 to 4.4 roms ? Is that true ? If so how can I downgrade to 4.4.4 ROMs ? OR is it easier I find a 5.0 rom I like and flash that. Interestingly though my personal backup restore didn't work either to 5.0
[Currently I don't have a phone and desperate to solve this.]
PS: I didn't wipe data or factory reset between the various flashes - could that be a problem or is THE problem ?
(It all started because I thought I lost international sim unlock that i got via SUU app...it seems I hadn't)
Got to factory reset!
If the same version of rom wiping cache might work.
I factory reset/wipe date via CWM and there after recovered my original data again via CWM.
And now its back to original Sprint bootup - BUT gets stuck at the Sprint logo ?
I try a hard reset via volume up, home button and power - and it just does a bootup - so cannot do a new factory reset ?
have I lost my phone ? should I try ODIN ? what are my options ? (and how did I screw up? )

Boot into recovery wipe every thing.
Flash your rom again.
&/or
Oden stock rom, try again.
Didn't follow instructions ; -)
1. when you say 'flash your rom' you mean my backup of sprint ? so do a restore of the original sprint that I backed up after root ?
2. where can I get a stable stock rom ? I assume I have to use stock 5.0 ? as it's not easy to downgrade to 4.4.4 as I got 5.0 OTA - right ?
PS: what instructions - i followed everything to a tee...
thank you @rbeavers

thanks.....but still a little confused because I was able to flash to MOAR 4.4 ROM but when I tried 4-5 other ROMs people said I couldn't flash down to 4.4 from 5.0 stock sprint. But I did (without doing anything different!)

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.

Flashed a Stock ROM with Odin and everything is great..
Thanks
A few days ago i got the massage "uid inconsistent feeling lucky" and after a couple of minutes my phone restarted and got stuck on the flashing samsung logo, i was on an official 4.3 rom rooted.
I decided that it's time to move to Lineage OS 7.1.1. I tried to enter twrp recovery that was installed on my device but got stuck on the twrp splash screen and after 2 seconds it reboots the device, i installed 7 different twrp versions 2.8.5.0 - 3.0.2-2 with odin but every time with the same result, stuck on twrp splash screen
So i tried to install a stock rom, after odin finished and the device rebooted it got stuck again on the flashing samsung logo and when i tried to enter the recovery that should be the stock recovery i got an android image with the red triangle and the phone reboots, when i tried to install stock recovery with odin it got stuck on file analysis.
After all that i downloaded cwm recovery and philz recovery and those were the only recovery i can access, i can delete cache and dalvik cache but when i try to wipe data/factory reset when i select the option the phone immediately reboots.
I also tried to install the Lineage OS 7.1.1 official rom with cwm but got an error massage "can't install this package on top of incompatible data. please try another package or run a factory reset".
Please help me
Is the phone encrypted? You confirmed the model # of the phone by booting into download mode?

No errors in odin, when i try to enter stock recovery after flashing stock rom there is an android picture with red triangle and the phone reboots, the only problem that i had with odin is when i tried to flash only the stock recovery it got stuck on file analysis, in my first post i wrote all the things that i've tried already and what works and doesn't work
I'm at a loss as to what the problem could be. Have you thought about taking the phone to a cell repair shop to see if it can be flashed via JTAG?

this would be my last resort, where i live a shop would charge me more than the phone is worth to repair it, is there a way to factory reset with a software or adb with a phone that can't boot into the os?
The only way I know of is using stock or custom recovery.

can it help if i check the re-partition or erase all nand option in odin?
You need a pit file in order to repartition.

The error you got means you need to wipe the /system partition before you flash Lineage. As for why TWRP isn't working, I'm really not too sure unless the image size is bigger than the actual recovery partition size.

The PIT file depends on the phones model or on the rom version or both?
File depends on model number and the amount of internal memory. I think the 9300 has 16 GB.

the only recovery i can use is cwm or philz, but when i try to wipe data\factory reset the phone reboots right when i select the option and does not complete the wipe\reset, i wiped cache, dalvik cache and system partition, but when i try to install the rom it said incomplete data and i should do a factory reset and i can't do that, i had the latest twrp working before all of this happened

Thank you, i will try to download the file and re-partition in odin, that is the only thing i haven't tried yet
Is it possible the phone has 32 GB?

Noooo... Dont repartition it. You haven't had anything that says it needs it yet.
Flash the stock firmware twice, back to back then see if you have more control.
If you have a btu device (unlocked international) i can give you my reliable files to flash.
All you'll need for now is the firmware file. Flash it and as the phone reboots (blue pass in odin) you need to get it into download mode again without going to the os, if you miss it just pull the battery and go again.
Once in dl mode for the second time, flash the firmware again. When the phone reboots, before it goes to os, get in into RECOVERY MODE and try to factory wipe it. If successful allow it to reboot again as normal to os.
If the factory wipe fails or the phone still hangs at the samsung logo you have bigger issues.

Ok so, after many attempts I decided to ask for help here.
Months ago my old s3 "died". My brother was using it and it rebooted itself. From then it's still locked on SAMSUNG boot animation.
I've tryed many solutions. At first I thought it was the power button because in the past it gave me random reboots so... I removed it
No luck.
I'be bought a JIG, booted in download mode (or fastboot? nevermind) and completely installed the original ROM and firmware via Odin.
Another time, no luck.
The phone it's still locked on boot logo. On battery it cannot go beyond the first black and white screen, on charger it stucks on the SAMSUNG colored and animated one.
I have tried to change the battery but still no luck.
Am I missing something?
Thanks

No I didn't. I'm going to try this and will report here, thanks.
Btw, flashing stock firmware doesn't wipe all possible datas?
No, don't reset if you don't want to lose all data.

Flash the stock firmware, factory reset, flash the stock firmware AGAIN. Remnants will remain if you don't flash twice with a reset in between.
