Hi, this is my first post ever on XDA so sorry if im doing it wrong or if its in the wrong spot . anyways i am running stock and am on rooted & unlocked vzw gs3 . I downloaded and installed Scotty's Clean Rom 2.5 which was released just last week. I wiped/factory reset/ formatted everything and the rom seems to install fine, but then when i reboot it stays on the sgs3 boot screen forever? I dont know why it is not working. Ive tried about three times. Thanks.

I had the same problem with 2.1 and 2.5 on my phone. For some reason, the flash does not work on my phone the first time. both times I had to pull the battery when I got stuck on the boot screen then boot into recovery, re-wipe, fix permissions and reinstall. It always worked for me on the second try.
Good luck.

This happened to me once. Try to re-root the phone again then flash it.
Did you do a dalvick cache wipe too? Also were you flashing a kernel with 2.5? Are you coming from stock or a custom rom too? And if you are coming from a custom rom does it use a custom kernel? You should also check the md5 of the rom and verify it didnt get corrupt on download/transfer.

Yes i wiped the dalvick, fixed permissions, formatted just about everything and factory reset, when that did not work I formatted and wiped everything before and after the flash. still no luck. I was not flashing a kernel, (to be honest im not even sure how to do that) and im coming from a stock rooted rom that i got when i first rooted with odin. I checked the md5 and everything matched up too.
How!?

How do you re root? would i have to use odin to flash the rooted rom again?
The process of how you flashed sounds right.
When you say it's stuck forever, how much time did you give the phone to reboot. Sometimes with a new rom, it may take 5 min or longer for reboot to finish. If you haven't already, just walk away for 5-10 min before checking it.

Clean rom wouldn't install for me on my phone... Weird stuff happened on the screen during boot animation and then would vibrate like crazy and go into boot loop... I came to realize that it was the kernel and I flashed lean kernel and it worked perfectly... I think these roms act differently on everyone's phones and sometimes there's no rhyme or reason to why things work for some people and not others... Just my. 02 cents

Hi!I just can figure whats wrong with the phone.I am very sorry to have to post this but this is what i have done until now:
-it was original t-mobile sgs4g soft 2.3.6
1. i downgraded to froyo
2. tried to apply the froyo cwm recovery
3. didnt worked (dunno why)
4. installed another version with odin http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1193751 the cwm worked but it kept having cant mount sd card
5. installed the new cwm with kernel ..didnt worked same thing
6.installled again the froyo with odin
7. finnaly worked installed the octane
8. octane froze at sgs4g screen ,not boot animation , kept reseting
9. 3 flashes and froyo and bla bla after i installed the black valhalla
10. valhalla works but i cant recieve calls sms or mms...
11. Need help!
Don't flash GB stuff on froyo boot loaders. Don't flash froyo stuff on GB boot loaders. If don't know how to repartition with a pit don't flash boot loaders as boot loader flashes may hard brick your device. If your unsure about what your flashing matching your boot loaders don't flash it. Finally all your mixing and matching incorrectly probably got you some weird gremlins so learn how to"one click" back to stock (I wrote a noob guide in general section) and start over. This will ensure GB boot loaders are flashed correctly good luck

I agree one click is probably your best bet. I do however wonder if you somehow managed to wipe your imei? Check to make sure.
ok so i downloaded the T959V-UVKJ6-One-Click tommorow i will do it bcoz its not my phone...question how do i install custom recovery to install the Octane-V3.0 XPLOD NO CIQ EDITION
and will i get rid of the call and sms not being recieved?

If you get the "kj6 beta 2d" package it includes a custom kernel with cwm recovery

sorry forgot to mention this i can make calls or send txt and i remember it having an imei as i scrolled down in about phone> status
I was having some problems with little things in octane also, but what fixed mine was wiping the cache, dalvik cache, flashing, ( mounts UMMU), reboot, check functionality, reboot into cwm, fix permissions, reboot, enjoy.

Reflash it boss.
i tried man like 4 times =/ and even different ics roms..nothings working
similar problem, mine starts loading the rom then freezes.
Are you guys following the instructions? Pull the battery and reboot into CWM and wipe the cache, dalvik cache, factory reset
Are you wiping and clearing multiple x's

i wiped dalvik, battery, and did factory reset, i flashed the ics radio then flashed the rom but nothing

You have to wipe them at least 3 times. Pull the battery and wipe everything again multiple times
alright ill try it and let you know what happens
still nothing it gets to boot animation makes like a little click noise and reboots

You might have got a bad download. Redownload and check the md5 and make sure the download is good
You know what? This might be dumb reading some of the newer posts around here but are you using a newer recovery mod? Also use the darkside super wipe, I find it to work better than doing the wipes manually.

Try darkwipe, it was the way how I got ics to boot.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
tried getting a fresh download, still no luck...ill try dark wipe tomorrow and let you guys know how it goes.
I don't think i have the latest cwm either but it worked for my phone i don't know what the deal is.
I use darkside wipe, clear cache and dalvik cache, then format /system /data and /cache.
I know its overkill but I find I pick up less ics bugs when I do it.
Have you tried the one click method?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
The battery finally just died from all the reboots and I left it alone over night then it came on after I put it on the charger and rebooted but was still buggie so I used super dark wipe and flashed again and now it works great...I definitely recommend that wipe when flashing

Hi, I just need alot of help! I've been a rogers captivate owner for a year and i've rooted, sim unlocked, flashed many, MANY roms with success. I have also soft bricked my cappy a few times but odin restored it back to stock every time where i started over.
So basically, i soft bricked my cappy, used odin to restore to stock rogers gingerbread 2.3.3 , rooted, used odin to install corn kernel and now every time i wipe data and everything in recovery and flash a rom, it says successful but when i restart, it just gets stuck at the " samsung I896 " screen and doesn't go any further. I can't go into recovery or do anything, but i can succesfuly odin back to stock gb. I've used this same procedure many times before and it always worked but not this time. The only difference there was, was that when it got soft bricked this time, I was going from MIUI JB to Paranoid Android JB instead of ics or gb custom roms.
Can anyone please please help me out here? I really hate stock samsung roms and I LOVED JB when i had it, and i really want it back! I would really appreciate anyone's help! Thankyouuu !
[EDIT] Thankyou everyone who tried to help, i figured it out and resolved the problem, the problem was i was wiping data/factory reseting in cwm which i shouldn't have been doing.
What about using Odin to flash a kernel compatible with the Paranoid Rom, then flash the Rom through that kernel's recovery...

Yeah, but paranoid android comes with its own recovery, and oh i forgot to mention, i have tried many times, and sometimes after i flash the paranoid rom, and reboot, the phone will boot but directly to recovery when i normally boot it, so i can flash the rom through its own recovery but still it just boots into recovery directly nothing else, and then i go back to stock and i've been on stock for like a month now, but im really missing paranoid androidd.
Wait i think i found the solution guys please helpp ! on stock when im about to flash the new rom, do i clear user data/ wipe data whatever it is in cwm ? Im doing that with faliure, am i not supposed to?
Okay so i ran synergy rom for a bit, loved it and worked good.
I tried flashing CS SG3 ROM
I couldn't get it to boot all the way up, i tried everything odin back to stock and retried, wiping system , everything.
still couldn't get it to boot all the way up so i gave up and ended up going to GALAXY MOD It worked perfectly and i loved it.
But today I tried flashing release 15, it also will not boot up. But when going and flashing release 14.1 again it works perfectly.. does anyone know what my issue is or how to fix it? I'm so confused... do they have something similar that could possibly be the issue?
Galaxy mof has problems booting on its newest release if you want to flash rls15 be sure to use cwm touch recovery and pick developer's choice not custom
If you do choose custom be sure to put force gpu rendering.

Oh okay. I will be trying this. thank you.
The only thing I can think of is not wipeing?
You can always try a dirtyy flash between ROMs. But if it doesn't fully boot.
Try wiping cache and dalvik cache.
You can also fix permission just to be safe.
Also. Maybe make sure you are on latest CWM? or TWRP.

I've tried this. lol
i was flashing a stock rom on my att gs3 and i thought i went smooth until it rebooted. it gets to the samsung flashing screen and stays there. what do i need to do or is there anything i can do to get it back working.
You'll be fine, but a few questions. ........ what rom were you flashing and what recovery do you have installed?
When you flashed stock did you wipe data & cache or just flash without wiping?
