Okay this is simple:
Boot into Recovery (CWM) (Normal recovery is also ok!)
- wipe data/factory reset
- wipe cache partion
- Go to advanced and wipe dalvik cache (You don't have this option in stock recovery but it is not realy neccesery so don't mind!)
Reboot and the Galaxy S3 should be come back alive!

No, don't panic, that's just a boot loop
See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1108499 for help on these
Try flashing VillainROM, it wipes all your data, cache etc. Official rom don't wipe anything except system almost.
Or factory reset/data wipe in recovery, volume up home power. After that flash any rom and it should boot up fine happened to me a couple of times

Turn off phone..
Hold Volume Up + Power + Home button..
You'll Reach CWM Recovery.
Now Click on Clear Data System, Clear Cache, and then in Advanced Clear Dalvik Cache.
If it Didn't Worked, ReFlash ROM
Peace

Try to flash another gingerbread 2.3.4, 5 or 6 or ICS 4.0.3 via Odin or CWM recovery.
If your phone doesn't boot after doing that, then you might have to perform a factory reset

[Q] [HELP] Cyanogenmod 10.1 4.2.2 unfortunately setup wizard has stopped

Please I need help guys! I earlier today rooted my Samsung Galaxy S3 international variant i9300. After this I went about to install a custom ROM the Cyanogen Mod 10.1 4.2.2 rom, and to do this I followed the this method on YouTube:
After I completed the installation I it showed the Cyanogen Mod logo which looked amazing but after this I kept getting "unfortunately setup wizard has stopped" and "unfortunately google framework services has stopped". I am sure that I maybe installed the older version of gapps and this is why this is happening. How can I fix this issue?
Please help! I have tried almost everything!
Thank you!!!

flash CWM touch recovery(latest ones) via desktop odin. then put your CM10.1 and latest gapps .zip files on your sdcard. reboot into CWM touch recovery and then flash the files after wiping data, cache and dalvik cahce!
We all were noobs at some point i'll help u out
Lets start from top.
To get cwm:
- flash cwm or twrp from odin ( i'll trust u know how to do that ) ( go for cwm this time )
To get phone up and running on cm:
-Re-download cm and respective gapps
-Turn off your phone
-Turn your phone on into recovery by pressing power+center+vol down (when the phone boots release power) and you'll be on cwm
-conect your phone to pc
-on cwm go to advanced settings
- mount usb storage
- phone will apear on pc, copy rom and gapps
- once done return to main "page" of cwm and wipe data/factory reset
- then install zip and select the rom zip first after zip is installed install gaps
- reboot phone after
- you'll be just fine
If that dont work out will talk about that later.
Take care
