Bricked my S3? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

I installed CM10 unofficial and had signal issues and lost LTE so I wanted to go back to stock rooted. Flashed root66 via Odin and now my phone gets stuck at the 4g LTE bootscreen. I have tried everything to flash a recovery, but so far nothing has worked. I am able to access downloader mode and it says my phone is samsung official but custom and 1 flash count. What should I do now?

Turn off the phone completely
Hold the down volume, home button, and power button (this will give you yellow triangle) then press volume up to access download mode
Flash the official, none-rooted stock rom (found over at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1755386)
let me know if that worked for you.

On the S2 (AT&T) you had to do a factory reset from the E3 recovery console after doing a reset like you're doing or else it would boot loop. See if you can get into the recovery console and do a factory reset and see if that fixes it.

[Q] Question about recovery OG Droid

I cannot get the recovery flash to stick. My phone is rooted and I downloaded ROM Manager and flashed clockworkmod. I pressed boot into recovery and it worked.
I rebooted the phone and then turned it off. I hold power and "x" and it loads the stock recovery with the triangle and exclamation point, I press volume up and camera and it's the stock recovery mode.
I go back into ROM Manager and flash alternate recovery (SPrecovery) and then I turn off phone and boot with "x" and power and it goes into SPRecovery. I then reboot and then turn the phone off and it goes back to stock and I cannot get back into the SPrecovery mode from power off.
Why does it seem like it keeps resetting? Am I doing something wrong? I've tried flashing clockwork about three times and I can only access by pressing the boot into recovery on the app but not from a powered off state.
Why does it do this?
Android 2.2.2 FRG83G stock ROM.
I posted this a week ago and got 0 responses... does no one have any ideas or links you can send my way to help me out?
Should I try and flash an alternative recovery manually and not use Rom Manager? Any tutorials for that?

Can only boot into Download

So I am facing a bit of a situation. My tab, I815, will only boot into download mode. I was using the tab, when it completely froze up so I powered it down by long pressing the power button. Tried to boot back up, stuck in a boot loop. Tried to go into recovery to do a reset, but am unable to get into recovery. Thought maybe something happened to my recovery partition so I booted into download mode and reflashed CWM, everything looked ok on ODIN, so I once again tried to boot into recovery and nothing. So let's see if anyone has some ideas on how to fix this. I can only boot into download mode and the lack of factory ODIN files for the I815 is making this into a problem. Any ideas?
Also I no longer use verizon for service so I do not care about the LTE service. The I815 and the 6800 have the same partitions. Do you think it would be possible to use a factory ODIN firmware from the 6800? I know I wouldn't have any cell service, but I am now only using it as a WiFi tab anyway.

[Q] Rooted, bad recovery, and stuck in bootloop

I scoured the forums, but have not been able to find out what I can do to solve my problem. So here it is.
I rooted my phone (to play around with some settings, what have you) and flashed TWRP recovery onto it. I got an error msg when booting up, so I decided to push an original recovery back onto the phone, because it wouldn't go to TWRP. I followed a guide (which I can't find now) to push back a stock version of recovery and it failed. My phone would boot normally just fine, but when I tried to go to recovery it would loop.
The OTA update came today, and dumbass me pressed continue (not thinking) and now I am stuck in a boot loop, and cannot get out of it.
Cannot get into recovery.
Cannot get into download mode.
Got any ideas?
Thanks
Same Problem
I have pretty much the same problem. Please help!
well without recovery/download mode working or the phone being in fastboot mode there really isn't much that can be done, you can always try to claim on warranty
boot loop
So, let me get this straight. If it failed when you tried to install the stock recovery, then you still have the TWRP recovery right?
I ran into a boot loop problem earlier when I tried upgrading TWRP. I just couldn't access my recovery so here is what I tried:
Code:
Turn your phone off.
Press volume down and power button until the LG logo comes on screen
Let go of both buttons
Hold the volume down and power buttons again until you see the "hard reset screen"
Press power once and then power again to confirm. The screen says it will reset your device but it will not as long as you have a custom recovery installed.
Your custom recovery should appear on screen.
Try the steps above and see if you can get into a recovery. Once you do maybe try resetting. Hope that helps.

Note edge in constant bootloop

My Note Edge on AT&T stock not rooted. All of a sudden went to a black screen with a blue notification flashing. I was able to do a factory reset and wiped the cache. Now I'm in a constant bootloop and/or the black screen. I have changed the battery as well and still nothing. Does anyone have any other ideas?
Download cmw recOvery for your model and use odin to flash the recovery while your phone is in the downloading screen (volume down+home button+power button). Use the csc in odin locate the downloaded recovery and press start.
If this doesn't work then you have to download the stock firmware which is around 2 gb and flash it usin odin in the same downloading screen, this time you have to use the ap option to located the file in odin and press start.
You have to have Samsung driver installed for odin to recognise when the device connects.

After flashing custom ROM, Phone does not want to enter Recovery mode.

I have a samsung galaxy s3 (canada) which i installed twrp for d2att (at&t) and thats how i flashed the custom ROM without any problems as seen on another thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2624413
But now when i try to get back onto custom recovery, it shows the blue text at the top left corner of the screen, flashes the samsung logo, but then the screen goes blank. it is only after i release the power + home + volume up that it goes back and just boots normally. I thought that it might of got uninstalled while flashing the custom ROM, so since i forgot to get gapps (to use playstore and find useful apps) i used odin v3.0.9 to flash the custom recovery. But i did everything but it still does not want to enter custom recovery.
Can anyone help me please?
