Another S3 boot loop problem - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
I have an S3 that I installed CWM on and OmniRom kitkat on. I have had it going well for about 2 years now, but the other day my phone ran flat and when I tried to switch it on it went into a boot loop. I have tried reflashing the rom and tried other roms. Wiped data, cache etc as per all the tutorials. Eventually I tried the stock rom using odin. Odin ran well with no errors. But now my phone now loops between the samsung logo and the Android logo. I no longer have CWM because of the stock rom.
What else can I try.
thanks in advance.

Try the rescue firmware in general forum and the pit file, the emmc was corrupted/damaged when the battery went flat.

thanks so much this got me on the right track and after much trial an error i managed to get my phone back with stock firmware.
I have this problem though. This screen pops up on the home page, just cannot get rid of it, any ideas?:

[Q] Wifi will not turn on

UPDATE: I just happen to remember that i needed to flash the modem for the firmware I flashed. When I did that the wifi worked!!
Hi
I know there are numerous threads regarding the issue of wifi not turning on after some type of flashing. But there doesn't seem to be any answers that pertain to my problem.
My SPH-L600 Mega is rooted and came stock 4.2.2 L600VPUANA7. Everything including wifi has worked fine. The problems began when I Odin flashed SPR-L600VPUAMK1 stock firmware. It was successful. But I kept getting a System UI error that wouldn't quit. So I ended up just flashing the L600VPUANA7 stock rooted firmware back to the phone. That fixed the problem. But then Wifi would not turn on. Others seem to have had this problem. And on other phones, they found solutions. But I can't exactly flash another custom rom since there doesn't seem to be any made for this model. I installed numerous wifi "fix" apks that I downloaded. They changed nothing. I did a complete factory reset from custom recovery. But the wifi still doesn't work. I am looking for something else I haven't tried yet. Any ideas? Thanks!

[Q] Another Stupid Noob bricked his Z2 ... help!

Im a stupid noob.
With that out of the way i still want to ask for help.
I bought a Z2 two days ago and wanted to throw on the Cyanogen M9 Snapshot. It^s my first time with android and my first time
modding my phone. Maybe a little too much first times
I followed all the steps aka unlocking the phone ... recovery mode ... wipe previous data ... and loaded the Cyanogen M9 snapshot.
After Reboot i ended up in BootLoop and started checking for errors ... what i found was that my wipe didnt work. This is the message i get
all the time when i try to do the wipe/factory reset:

}
Any thoughts what i could do?

recover your device through this for now, back to stock
im not sure what recovery you used but try using this one as there should be no problems with anything system related, you need to use flashtool from flashtool.net to flash this

Boot stuck Xperia Z5

Hello guys
So, here is the story for which I need help. I'm used to reflash samsung phones and recently I ended up with Xperia Z5. I wanted to put on lineage os, because the stock is not giving me enough options. I decided that I'll proceed as any samsung phone before and that I'll just put TWRP on the phone and do the things. I unlocked the bootloader and followed the following guide youtu be/fdhAPeTJK6Y (I pasted the link like this to skip the "10 posts before links" thingy), BUT I didn't flashed the "boot.img" file before the recovery. After that I restarted the phone, entered TWRP, backed up my stock android just in case and totally forgot that I have explorer from the TWRP and I can mount my phone to get the old image and put the new directly on, so I restarted the phone and now it's in a boot stuck. I can't enter in any mode through the volume buttons. When the charge is dead, the phone goes off and when I plug it to charge it tries to boot and gets stuck on the screen from the image below. Any ideas how to fix it?

Galaxy Tab S3 is not fine - how to reset it the proper way?

Hello everyone,
my GFs Galays Tab S3 has an issue. A couple of days ago it reacted strangely, crashed, rebooted and was stuck multiple times in reboot.
Acutally my girlfriend couldn't even login because it rebooted again before it could load the OS. It has stock ROM, no root, everything in original state.
Once after reboot there was the screen that a custom OS can cause critical problems:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
At one point she could reset it and at the beginning it worked properly. After setting up the accounts, WIFI etc. it started again to reboot. Now you can login but after a while there will be another reboot. So actually it's not possible to really do anything with the tablet.
What do you think is broken in the tablet and how can I fix it?
Would it make sense to use another ROM?
Thanks and best regards
The screen you posted is the download mode, which you would use for odin
I would try to flash the stock firmware with odin. This will wipe the device and you'll lose any data on it., so be forewarned.
Alternately, if you can get into recovery, you could try a factory reset, this will also wipe the device.
If the problem continues it's probably some corrupt memory which can't be fixed.
