Hello,
Here's my issue, I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 i747M (Rogers Canada) and I decided to root my phone to connect a wireless controller for running emulators. I used ODIN 3 and rooted it with the proper ROM and it worked fine. I then noticed it had been running really slow and I wanted to update it to the latest Android platform but in order to do that I need to unroot the phone and return it to the stock ROM because I also figured out that I can hook up the controller with a USB so my phone doesn't need to be rooted anymore. I found the stock CF-Auto rom for my specific phone and carrier and reinstalled ODIN 3 on my computer. When I plug the phone into my computer with ODIN open it recognises it and the COM3 field turns yellow and in the txt box it says that its connected. I load the Stock ROM into PDA and run ODIN. It completes and I get the green "Complete" box and in the txt box it says Complete Disconnect Phone but when I restart my phone it loads the Samsung loading video and then just hangs at the Samsung logo with the blue LED blinking and the only way to shut down the phone is to remove the battery. I am still able to get to the download screen (Vol Down + Home + Power) and also when I loaded the stock ROM in ODIN it said to make sure that F. TIME RESET and AUTO REBOOT is selected but AUTO REBOOT is already checked and I cant turn on F. TIME RESET as the options terminal in ODIN is greyed out and I cant change the options, could this affect it? I know my phone can be saved as its only Soft Bricked its just a matter of how.....PLZ HELP!!!
think you have flashed the rom and theres no os to run other than blank try installing again or else install custom recovery and run a custom rom
Good Luck!
Ok I will try it again today, what is the custom recovery thing and custom rom you're talking about? Sorry im not very savvy when it comes to smart phones, links would help a bunch and someone mentioned to me today to DL a new CF-AUTO stock rom for my phone because it may be the wrong one even though it was labeled for my model. Know of any good sites to get Official Stock Roms for phones?
Thanks

Ok so I found the newest version of ODIN3 and my actual Stock ROM, /fingerscrossed
If it works Ill post up where I found everything incase someone else comes across this problem with the same phone

***RESOLVED***
Ok so, I downloaded ODIN3 by hitting up Google and downloading it from the first link which was from this site (My issue was an out of date ODIN3 program, hence the grayed out options)
I got the stock file for my Samsung Galaxy S3 i747M (Rogers Canada) from SAMMobile (<Google this should be the first link)
This site has everything you need for Samsung anything and its free you just make an account. Also don't make the mistake I did and assume the list of stock files that comes up is all that's there, you have to manually search for your phone model and a list of countries and carriers comes up for that phone. The file was even the most up to date version which was a plus.
Hello everyone,
well i got my hands on a really f/up phone here's all the details :
the phone is a gt-i9001 ( galaxy s plus Orange) running stock 2.3.4 with TW , not rooted , actually it's my friend phone he installed a lot of apps (launcher task killer apps battery ect..) so i can't tell what app cause the problem.
the problem is that i get a force close loop wich a lot of people had and solved with a factory reset.
my real problem is i can't factory reset the phone :
1- can't access recovery mode (i tested all the hardware buttons combination it take me always to download mode )
2- i tried to uninstall all the apps but whenever i uninstall anything , it get back right after when restart the device
3- tried to format from settings>format usb... but no results nothing got deleted
4- tried to connect with pc and flash a new rom with odin i've installed samsung kies (old and 3.0 version) for drivers, but my pc doesn't recognize it
5- i even tried to connect it with the masse storage mode the device appears so i tried to delet at least all pictures and videos, those got deleted but when i unplug and plug the phone again they still there.
i'm reaaally stuck , if someone could help me please , that would be great.

Yesterday I Installed android 5.1 on my Samsung Galaxy S II with help of a tutorial video( The ROM I installed CM 12.1 Android 5.1.1) it all worked fine downloaded some apps like Pokemon go and it still worked fine until a update of cyanogenmod came up so I installed it restarted the phone, then the wifi connection started to do weird so I went to updates to see if there was an other update which I might have missed. There was one so I clicked it downloaded the update then I saw it was an old update. When the update rebooted the phone it didn't wanted to start. I think I downloaded an old update over a new update. I coulnd't get past the samsung logo cuz the screen would turn black . So I readed that I should reflash stock firmware via Odin which I did but now my phone keeps stuck at the samsung logo.
When I started the phone I did get the start screen
Samsung Galaxy S II
GT-I9100
then the samsung logo pops up
the intro music plays and that's it then it keeps repeating this steps all the time
also the recovery mode button combination doesn't seem to work so I cant get in recovery mode.
When I try to charge the phone
the screen stucks on the battery loading image
Hopefully someone has any ideas how to fix this problem and get my phone on and working again.
