I'm kind of a noob with this but my Verizon GS3 is doing a boot loop and I have no idea how to fix it! Please help!
First off, are you able to throw ADB commands to the phone? (a lot of the time when I get stuck in a boot loop I can still throw ADB commands at it), if so, throw adb reboot recovery to reboot into the recovery.
If you can't, remove the battery to turn it off, pop the battery back in, then hold Volume Up, Home, and Power to boot into the recovery.
Once in the recovery do a full wipe.
If you are flashing a ROM it's always suggested to do a full wipe before flashing the ROM.
If wiping doesn't work then restore for a previous backup (I hope you did a backup before you did whatever you did since you weren't being detailed in what you were doing at the time).

Thanks for responding! All I was doing was backing it up through ROM Manager and after the backup it went into the boot loop. When I hold the power, home, and volume down button it goes into download mode so I can't even get into the recovery. Have you heard of this before?
Try doing Volume Down, Home, and Power instead (one does download and one recovery, I can't remember which since I do everything through adb and very rarely have to do it manually).

Well the good news is I can get into recovery. The bad news is every time I try and restore it goes back into the same boot loop for a few cycles then goes back into Clockworkmod recovery. I feel like I'm getting close here...

When I do reboot system now it says "error processing ROM Manager script. Please verify that you are performing the backup, restore, or ROM installation from ROM Manager v4.4.0.0 or higher."
Why not just flash a new rom to get rid of the boot loop? Or Odin back to stock n root all over again?

can you be more percifics ?
try re-install the rom
I just faced the same problem on my SGS2. Hold Volume Up + Home button + Power button to recovery mode (I guess SGS3 is the same as SGS2), then re-install the rom. If it is still not working, you may have to try another rom. To incase this problem happening, I always put two old rom and a new rom in my internal sd card, it's a lot safer, but they will use about 1GB in your phone.
Download a new ROM then flash it. Should fix your problem

I have the same problem only I can't go anywhere from the boot screen (android logo). No combination of buttons or battery removal chnges it. My PC won't see the usb connection. I could pull the sd card and write to it if that would do anything.

The damned phone is bricked how are you going to flash another rom or wipe data? I don't think its totally bricked but it will only show the dwonload screen, buttons and usb ports do not work at all so far.
New data: after leaving the battery out for ahwil I was able to get back to the odin entry screen. I pushed the volume up and went back to where I was... this is progress. Now sure where to go from here.
Fumbling worked! Hitting the down volume worked. I am back in the previous rom. I still would like to flask 4.2.2! Please advise and comment. Thanks!

On the galaxy s3 it's down volume, power and home, then down volume to get out of the odin emulator screen. BTW captcha for a site like this reminds of the sysops of 5 line bbs' out of their mother's basements that had elaborate member approval vetting. Self importance to the disease level.

Did you flash the exhilerate ICS ROM and now your phone won't do anything but bootloop?
Are you finished with testing and exploring the ICS ROM and are now ready to get back to your old Gingerbread ROM and patiently wait till we get something more reliable and stable?
Well ladies and gents, here it is. A simple Odin 1-click that will flash the old gb kernel and cwm recovery so you can get back to business.
There is no /system, /data, or /cache partitions included in this package. What is included is dk boot.img (kernel), cwm recovery.img and param.lfs. There is a huge chance your device will ONLY boot into recovery after flashing this so ensure you have YourFavoriteROM.zip on your sdcard.
I have tested this multiple times this morning and it hasn't failed me yet. But, as with anything I post:
I nor is Team Fah-Q or it's affiliates responsible for anything negative that may occour to your device as a result of probably something you did. Meaning, if you don't follow the instructions fully (which the are extremely simple) then you could brick your phone or cause a zombie apocolyps.
Now time for the good stuff:
How to flash:
1 Ensure you have to appropriate drivers installed on your computer
2 Ensure you have YourFavoriteROM.zip
3 Download QuickRecover.exe to your desktop
4 Start QucikRecover.exe
5 Plug phone into PC and boot into download mode
5 Ensure the connection box turns yellow and prints a port connection (if not, check PC connection and reboot phone to recovery again)
6 Press start button and wait
7 When it is finished and the phone reboots, quickly unplug the phone and hold volume up/down buttons to get into recovery mode. If you miss it, that is ok, just simply hold power button andvolume up/down untill phone vibrates. Release power button while still holding volume buttons untill phone is in recovery mode
8 Flash YourFavoriteROM.zip.
9 Once phone is rebooted open dialer and Dial *#*#2663#*#* then tap the TSP FW Update and Touchkey FW Update button (this will bring back your soft keys)
10 Reboot

SWEET! Man I so thought I was the one messing things up when I was bootlooping. You two are the best!
I did the Quick Recover process and then flashed another ROM like it said, but when it rebooted my old settings and apps were still in place. Also the touchkeys still work without doing the dialer thing.. Did something not work? What else should I wipe/format/mount in recovery to ensure a clean flash before I flash my Rom?

I don't own the Exhilarate, but I'm assuming recovery is the same across devices. First, download a new ROM and place it on your sd card, one of your choice. There's a Slim Bean for your device here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2438192
I would suggest trying that, I've heard great things about Slim Bean. So once you have Slim Bean ROM on your device, and gapps (need both, they are both on the op of the forum), go into recovery, do a factory reset, wipe cache, wipe Dalvik (in the advanced option). Go into Mounts and Storage, then format System, Format cache (probably redundant, but to be sure), and format data. You can do each a couple times it you want. Then flash the Slim Bean zip, the gapps zip, and reboot! Like I said, not sure if recovery is different across devices, but considering ktemp made the updates for both our recoveries, I'm assuming they're the same. DO NOT format the sd card that the ROM and gapps are in, that would be BAD! Just format/wipe what I mentioned, and you'll be golden!
---------- Post added at 07:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:22 PM ----------
Make sure you've updated cwm! If not, I've been told bad things could possibly happen. Ktemp posted it in the BeanStalk ROM thread in development, a couple posts down. Flash updated cwm, then do what I said above!
Hey guys,
first of all, my powerbutton stopped working some weeks ago. I thought that not much of a problem, so I remapped this thing and perfect.
I noticed, if I turn off my phone, take battery out and back in, it restarts instantly. Seems to be stucked at "ON" or something.
Well I also noticed without touchrecovery, it's quite a problem to navigate through cwm recovery.
But there's still fastboot... naaah I couldn't find the phone in Windows to install drivers, thought that's a problem of Win8, but after that I tried same thing in ubuntu with manually installed drivers... still nothing.
Okay next thing, is, there are so many apps in the market, which install some recovery, autoflash stuff... Did that, (yeah I gave root access and so on) and still nothing happened, I'm still stuck with this cwm recovery and can't install new roms.
Now my Question(s):
Is there an Option to install some new recovery?
Is there a way to get Fastboot working?
Is there a way to get the Powerbutton in this state back to work?
Or kinda best worst case, is there an option to get my Nexus back to Stock and unroot to send it in, I still got warranty but this would require stock phone...!
Thanks!

have you tried flash touch recovery with ROM Manager app?

Try capacitive buttons on your current recovery. On my current recovery the search button makes the same that the power button, so if in your recovery the button have the same behaviour then you can easily flash a stock rom
Okay, i just got told: "If the power button is always pressed, fast boot does not react on input from keys or over adb.."
Hope that's not the "notsolution" for my problem... ^^

I was trying to update TWRP so I can install a 4.4 ROM and I installed Flashify (I read this was the easiest way) then flashed TWRP 2.6.3.1 and when I rebooted it went right to a black screen. When it boots I see the Samsung screen for just a sec and tiny blue words in the left corner that says something like 'recovery booting'. I've tried a hard boot (volume ^ + home then power on, right?) Well the phone buzzes, SAMSUNG flashes for a millisecond then blaxk, Maybe I'm not doing the hard boot correctly? But it's hard to tell. I'm trying to get back to TWRP to restore a backup image!

Download the latest recovery and try to flash it with Odin:

I have a feeling this isn't going to work, but it might let you boot into recovery. And do you have your backups on the internal or external SD card?

Download the .tar and extract the tar.md5 file.
Put the tar.md5 file into the pda slot, make sure your phone is connected, and it'll reboot by itself.
If it doesn't reboot properly, try to pull the battery and force it into recovery again like before.

If you can get into a rom, it's better just to use that to update a recovery, just don't use flashify this time.

If it doesn't reboot properly, try to pull the battery and force it into recovery again like before.

Ok I think that fixed it. I am on TWRP 2.6.3.1 restoring a backup I made earlier as we speak. THANK YOU!
Btw, what caused all of this was I flashed the Dirty Unicorn 4.3 and lost my mobile data. I went on to mobile providers and its a crap shoot when picking one that works consistently...
CDMA/EvDo auto
LTE/CDMA/EvDo
LTE/CDMA/EvDo/GSM/WCDMA
each on of those have worked before but none work every time and sometimes I will have tried to use them all several times before one finally kicks on. But if I reboot or even shut off data then back on it farks everything up again.
So I was trying to go to a 4.4... is there anything else I need to do to flash a 4.4 rom? I was thinking of trying the Cyanfox. Liquid Smooth became buggy so I went to Dirty Unicorn. But I gotta have mobile data

I really have no idea what caused it. I've never flashed anything other than 4.1 TouchWiz roms, but I know it's an intermittent issue with aosp roms.
You probably had a bad twrp image when you flashed it, or did something incorrect in flashify. I'm glad you got it working again though.

desperate for help, i know this is wrong place but need help,so tensed ,i tried to install custum rom Cataclysm in nexus 5 , i did it successfully when i was checking all apps, camera was not working. so i thought to re-install lolipop 5.0.1 copying files to my phone became difficult it will come 40-50% and stops or hangs. so i went to recovery (twrp) deleted cache/system/ few other files and then i restarted it says "no OS found" i was shocked and from then i cant get through recovery mode anything. it stuck on the screen where "google" and "screen lock" icon at the bottom is there. please help me out. please let me know any procudure to get back my phone.
Aaandd..that's what happens when you flash without reading and understanding the procedures.
You have no idea you have no /system to boot to since you've just said you wiped it.
It is interesting that even after messing up your device, you didn't bother to search but immediately ask in dev section although this post has nothing to do with development. This is sad.
Here is what you are looking for though:

I'll add, your phone doesn't get bricked. You brick it! Please read the stickies before you do anything with your device. All the info is there to make it an enjoyable experience.

Try using WugFresh's toolkit to flash stock and unroot
Click Here
^ I'm assuming your boot-loader is unlocked ^
Best of luck
Why use toolkits?

Please refrain from recommending toolkits, especially to noobs who have already gotten themselves into a bind due to lack of knowledge. We need to try and encourage learning, not provide tools to get around it.
OP needs to flash a factory image with fastboot and then read up on flashing ROMs and the like before he attempts to do anything else, unless he wants to actually brick his device next time.

You don't need recovery to flash a factory image, just the bootloader. Hold volume down while powering the phone up. It'll boot into the bootloader and from there you can flash the factory image using fastboot.
And in the future, don't wipe /system. That's why you have no OS.

Are you continuing to hold volume down after pressing the power button or are you releasing it right away? You need to hold it until it boots into the bootloader.

Then you somehow managed to wipe your bootloader, I don't quite know how. Try holding both volume up and down while booting. Again, continue to hold both volume buttons until it boots. That'll get you into the secondary bootloader. If that doesn't work, then you're screwed.

I wanted to install a custom Rom on my Nexus 5 running Android 6.0 so I downloaded TWRP latest and unlocked the Bootloader and installed TWRP.
Now the OS doesn't boot up anymore and the TWRP starts but gets rebooted all the time, and TWRP does not seem to be able to mount anything. When it reboots it looks like it automatically goes to the TWRP where it says it is running OpenRecoveryScript but it is unable to mount anything. I tried a boot start to Recovery and it worked but when I tried a factory reset it says the same thing.
I'm worried my phone will die and have further issues, I need help as soon as possible.

What factory reset? You should wipe everything except internal storage

Was the reset done from recovery mode or when the ROM had been booted to the desktop?

In fastboot mode, try this: fastboot erase userdata, fastboot erase cache, and reboot the phone.

1 Year later I face the same trouble : My Nexus 5 Hammerhead looks like bricked after twrp 3.0.2 flash
No way to stop the infinite boot loop, quickly the recovery mode, fast boot and Google logo flash before my eyes without giving me any chance to reflash or do absolute nothing !
buaaaahhh ahhhhh .... And I renewed 2 weeks ago with a brand new battery and flex cable buaaaaaa
Could the rebooting be due to a bad power button?

It could be, indeed that was my first thought as time ago it used to happen. But I've been trying as a maniac the not less maniac solution of hitting it softly and spasmodically as it turns on, but no success. Such solution it used to work, now it does not.
Currently, desperation makes me think of desperate (probably fool) solutions like unplug the battery to see if that so called "cache" wipes My lovely hammerhead currently open .....but does not look better

Ok, it looks like a f******* and annoying incredible coincidence, right after the flash, the power button arises !! BUT my last test looks like that's the problem :: While rebooting forever, I just keep the VolumeDOWN button pressed and it tries to enter the fast boot menu, as it the power certainly already pressed.
Now that I have the hammerhead open, I'll google to seek how to consistently fix that annoying problem.

Hammerhead sticky power button SOLVED
Thanks a lot for your answer. I managed my self thru it yesterday, using mainly these 2 YouTube videos
Xu6BWU0bwIQ
doPuXkQTGbc
(Sorry for the partial link; not allowed to post external urls)
Which basically explain about opening the Nexus 5 Hammerhead, get right to the damn sticky power button, clean it right and manipulate it a little bit with a lady tweezers in order to "unstick" it.
I've already mange thru these nearly 3 years to keep my great hammerhead alive ! Replacing its flex cable, battery, now manipulating the sticky button ....I do not know how much life is left for it but GOD SAVE THE HAMMERHEAD !
Thanks to you all
