Bricked, flashing stock rom doesn't work - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys, I'm hoping someone can help me out. I've tried searching the forums and using different methods to recover it, but none have worked so far.
SO I flashed the ICS Domination theme over Diet ICS rom, stuff was continuously force closing, so I factory wiped with the intention of re-flashing just the rom... after a reset the phone was stuck on the samsung boot screen.
I've tried using Odin to load the stock Rogers rom, it says it worked, but trying to boot the phone up its stuck on the samsung boot screen.
Am I missing something? Is there anything you guys can suggest I try??
EDIT: Oops, wrong forum, meant to put this in the AT&T forum

Snap my phone is stuck on samsung screen for awhile now, it's not doing anything at all

Wipe everything in recovery and flash a rom from either recovery or odin..

Flashing back to vodafone stock rom from resurrection v.9.2

Hello guys,
I must admit I am an absolute noob a bit out of my depth and panicking a little bit now. I successfully rooted and flashed my phone with a custom rom, the resurrection ics v9.2 however I wanted to go back to stock vodafone rom. So i downloaded BUKE1 vodafone firmware and flashed it using ODIN. Now my phone is stuck in a bootloop with the galaxy S II logo repeatedly appearing. I have just left it as is as I am now too scared to do anything :/
Any advice on what I can do? I know you guys have been over this a million times but I am freaking out.
I have read the boot loop thread above and it says to flash a stock rom using odin but that is what I had already done...
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try wiping all possible things in recovery.
And don't worry, atleast some1 pro will help you to get your phone to boot, also can you get to recovery and download mode

Hey thanks for the quick reply, I can get to recovery mode definitely. I just went in and wiped user data / factory reset option. Do you think I should try flashing a different stock vodafone rom?
Ok after wiping user data it now appears to be fine. I'm sorry for wasting your time.
it is recommended that you wipe everything after flashing in order to avoid boot loops or similar errors
glad it worked out for ya

[q] Phone keeps booting to "samsung galaxy sII" screen, and reboots? Help?

Hi okay so my phone keeps booting to the samsung galaxy s2 screen (the black one in the start)..and then it just shuts off and then goes on again...
I just flashed a new rom. This has happened to me with some other roms too and i thought it was cuz of the rom but this is happening with mulitple roms.
before flash i wiped data/cache, wiped davlik cache
I don't know what hte problem is, but it just keeps looping to the starting black screen..
Please help me flash the batista ics rom!
Do a wipe AFTER you flash the ROM, not before. Good luck.

Alternatively to any other suggestions, see the thread that is stickied near the very top of the Q&A section called "[READ THIS] Got a Boot Loop? Don't post a New Thread!".
yeah thanks,
not really useful though
can't get into recovery.
I can go into download mode but not recovery.
While i can flash another rom, I really want to flash the batista rom but i keep getting this problem. Is there something else that may be wrong thats not allowing me to install the rom on the phone?
No idea. And frankly, if you want to fix your phone, it's not important right now.
If you can only get into download mode & not recovery, the only way you're fixing this is with an Odin flash. You need to go back to stock, then try a fresh/clean install of whatever rom you were trying to install.

[Q] help! cant get back to stock telus.

major problem.
i flashed team perfection objection ics rom. felt that i wanted to go back to stock and thats when the problem showed up.
i havent flashed any other custom rom before the objection ics. i came from stock rooted telus.
tried flashing the tar file from this thread
[STOCK][ODIN][GB][Telus] For those who wish to revert to stock Telus
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=27508953#post27508953
- sometimes odin freezes but when it doesnt and actually finishes flashing, phone wouldnt start up after the automatic reboot. (how long should i wait for the initial boot to start? i wait for about 2-3 minutes of nothing but black screen before resetting)
i tried flashing the backup files from this thread
[ROOT]For TELUS Note (i717D) - No Flash Counter
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1585440&highlight=telus+rooted+system
- after flashing, boots but gets stuck at the "touch the android screen to begin"
anybody have an idea whats going on?
tried 2 different stock tar files through odin and i cant get any of them to work.
i flashed back to the objection rom through cwm to make sure that my phone isnt bricked or anything. seems to be working fine. havent tried any other custom roms though.
any help would be appreciated.
thanks
Hi you may have a partition that is corrapted or there may be something wrong with that telus Odin flash. Go to dev section. There is another Odin flash for telus. It is a stock telus rom rooted that is flashed through Odin. It does work, I hav e used: t before. I will send you a link when I get home from work.

I use to have a telus note now I have a rogers note. I may still have a back up of a telus rom. Will check my computure when I get home

I may have found your problem. When using Odin, and flashing a backup file, it does not format your phone partitions. So you first have to go into cwm and do a factory wipe, wipe dalvik and go into advance and wipe the other dalvik . Do a battery pull, and now put your phone into download for Odin. I have telus kernel, telus modem and telus stock recovery that can be flashed in cwm. Just not sure if I have the stock from still. Pm me if you have any questions

Just a update wipe data, wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache before you use Odin to flash a rom. I told you partly wrong in precise post

thanks for the help guys
thanks for the help guys.
i dont know if its a partition problem though but it really got me worried.
for some reason i got it to flash properly and it booted up with no problems.
now im thinking thats its the odin software that was causing the problems. the first one that i used to root my phone a couple of weeks back had an "evo 4g" title at the top. it didnt gave me any problems back then so i ignored it. and thats the same one ive been busting to use last night to flash back to stock. anyhow, i tried using a different odin3 that has "android+slp" label on it and i noticed that it was freezing less and actually finishes the flashing but the bootup still has some problems. i get stuck at the bootup logo for a couple of tries. after sometime i just flashed it over and over again until i hit the jackpot.
is there anyway that i can check if my partitions are still broken? im thinking that i wont be doing any flashing until the update comes in july. the ics roms arent stable enough for me anyway.
oh what do i do if wanna get the official ics update? i have stock system, i think, but its rooted. do i just flash stock kernel and unroot it?
i found an article in lockermikedotcom that allows you to unroot using a batchfile. i was wondering if you guys can point me in the right direction. thanks
If you have a stock rom but it is rooted, flashing a stock kernel usually does not remove root. You would have to install stock recovery first and then you adb to remove the superuser and busbox files from your phone to get it totally stock like it was before you rooted it. This batch file DooMLord_v1_unrooting_zip will unroot your phone .It work on the Rogers Note anyways. http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?7ysrb3v7tfu9t1a

[Q] Galaxy note GT-N7000 stuck factoryfs.img

hello,
Im new here
I've been upgrading to ICS from the official update which is N7000DXLP9-----------------------2012 May-----------N7000OLBLP6-----------Indonesia from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
it works great, until I see some red frame around and tried to fix it by going to buildprop and editing the buildtype from dev to user (what I found on the internet), but then I found out that mine is already user so I tried changed it to dev and when I restart, the phone stuck on samsung logo,but I am still able to go to recovery mode,the problem is I cant get odin to flash any rom to my note, it always stuck at factoryfs.img. then I installed abys kernell to wipe my factory reset, cache, dalvik, then I started to flash with odin again, with the patched pit file I got from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1667886, and the official update from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997, suddenly it works, and I tried to restore data from CWM ( stupid me)....turns out it got back again on the logo samsung and stuck there and so i tried flashing again and it started to stuck around factoryfs everytime, I tried to use abyss but this time after I wiped everything and used the patched pit file like before, it still stuck, so I found a post from the internet, it was custom ICS, i forgot where i got it but i have the file if you'd like to know, and so i tried, then it leaves me with my counter started to count 1 and still stuck at factoryfs....and I cant even go to recovery mode now, I have tried USB JIG and I succeeded to turn the counter back to zero but still stuck at factoryfs.img and still cant go to recovery mode even through bootloader,..... please help! i love my gnote

Hi Bro m stck at the same position as u so can u please tell me how did u get this fixed ?
Honestly it is all very confusing. Best to stick to a reputable source for flashing and troubleshooting.
There are dangerous guides on the internet not updated to circumnavigate later discovered brick.

[q] in desperate need of help!!

I am in need of some help ASAP.!!
Have a Samsung Galaxy Note 2. I had rooted it and flashed different Eclipse ROMs and decided to go with CarbonROM all in one night. I liked everything about Carbon until I noticed the next day I didn't have 4g anymore and wouldn't go over 2 bars of signal. So I decided i wanted to flash back to factory unrooted. I searched and searched and read and read to make sure just how to do it for my phone. I used Odin and it successfully flashed but than when it went to reboot it keeps flashing the startup "Samsung Galaxy Note II" over and over. Is this bootloop correct? If so i have searched and searched how to fix this and nothing is working. Either Odin gets stuck at SetupConnection, or hangs, wont even recognize my Note (I have uninstalled and reinstalled drivers multiple times.) and nothing is working. I have no access to recovery mode, only download.
I really need some help with this. Any input is greatly appreciated!!!!!!
If you are able to go into recovery then wipe to factory reset.... If not then try to install the stock rom via odin

I was able to finally restore it back to factory. I ended up using a stock ROM from one thread used with a pit. file from the Root/Unroot Guide on this forum along with checking the re-partitioning. It was successful the first try amazingly, entered a true bootloop as i found out (flashed 4gLTE rainbow etc over and over.) and was able to access recovery mode. Wiped cache and factory reset and rebooted. Phone is now working!!
BUT... no 4g?? only 3g and signal is still somewhat weak compared to past signals. Do I need to alter APN, IMEI, or stuff like that?? :S
Also a sidenote, I used to be 4.2.2, and now after stock restore/flash I am 4.1.2. Is this a big deal and can I upgrade to lets say 4.3 without rooting or do custom ROMs update this or do they need a base to be added to? :S
