[Q] Soft bricked (I Think) Galaxy S3 with Blackbean 5 rom - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

Ok so I have been trying to flash a rom to my phone for a while now. This isn't my first rodeo but I am far from being one of you technology gurus (whom I am very thankful for). SO I picked Blackbean 5. Now I downloaded it to my phone, and after magically....ok accidentally I got it on there I think. However, now all my phone is doing is getting stuck at the Baked Logo. I've tried Odin but that doesn't seem to work. Any suggestions?

I had Cwmr installed but nothing was working. It was just stuck on the boot screen. I figured out the fix though. So I'll post it in the off chance some other noob comes along and has the same problem. I just reflashed the rom and it worked fine. I always seem to have one hiccup everytime I root. This was the first time I figured out the fix on my own.

My Replacement S3 will not boot into custom recovery??

Hello,
I just got my replacement S3 and I rooted it with SuperSu-GS3_Debugfs and then unlocked my bootloader with the tool posted here and then I downloaded Goomanager and installed a custom recovery but it continues to boot into the Samsung recovery...? I never had this issue before.... Right after Goomanager downloaded the recovery I was able to enter custom recovery once so that I could make a backup but after I made a backup I cannot get back into custom...? Weird, maybe I am just tired but I have done this plenty of times and don't see why it's not working... This is the first replacement that I received with the newest Verizon OTA on it though... Other than that I don't see what the deal is? Thanks in advance!! I'm sure it is something simple I am missing here...
Download ez recovery and just reinstall the recovery.

I thought of that but I just don't understand why Goomanager would not do it.... I really want TWRP so that is my main goal here... You think goomanager is the culprit even though it allowed me to enter TWRP to make a backup already....?
Did it ever boot into recovery? The first time I was in cwm recovery it went then I clicked through a screen that asks you to click yes to boot into it every time. When I rebooted to recovery it took me to stock recovery. I went into rom manager and flashed it again, then made sure I chose yes on the screen that warns you that it might boot into stock recovery.

Yes I made my first backup in TWRP after I flashed it.... Now it will go straight to Samsungs recovery...
EDIT: Just tried the recovery program from the app store and it's doing the same thing....? I can get into custom recovery once and after I reboot I seem to lose it? This **** is weird!
Anybody??
What build number is it? I remember on my droid charge Samsung put a command to flash stock recovery on boot. You could just install the recovery, boot into it and immediately install a custom ROM.

Okay... So as you said earlier about your Charge, I think Verizon is getting tricky here cause I tried EVERYTHING and I had to flash a custom rom to get my custom recovery to stick on the latest build and I have never had to do that.... This has never been an issue so something has changed?? I finally got Cleanrom on it with TWRP cause I was determined not to go back to the old build! I installed TWRP again and again but it would not stick after a reboot so I just quickly flashed a rom while I was in TWRP and I'm golden now so idk what the deal was.... Verizon is a pain in my ASS!!! I never had to go through all this **** to install a rom on this device. Glad I had patience today cause I was gettin angry!! Oh well it is solved for the moment.... :victory: I am glad that at least one person tried to help me out ( kintwofan).... I thought I would have gotten more feedback but I guess that's what I get for thinkin...
Glad you got it going

Ya me too but I was kinda let down today.... Oh well, people got their own **** to deal with I guess but this was really my first time I was REALLY in need for some help and no one showed up to the party.... LOL Have a good night buddy! Thread closed!
That also happened to me.
After upgrading to latest AT&T OTA same thing happened to me.
I downloaded ROM Manager and instaled CWM recovery.
I was able to reboot in recovery once and then at boot a message would appear saying (something really fast) and then back to stock recovery.
Anyway in ROM manager it would recognize again that I had flashed the CWM recovery.
After I installed CWM touch it stop doing it. SO.
Best luck
I'm due to get my replacement tomorrow but what's funny is I ran into the same issue with my current device after I had gone back to stock and rooted again. Thinking it just has something to do with the update they pushed but ill report back tomorrow after I get it all rooted to see if I run into it again.

There is a file somewhere I'm not sure that you can delete and it should stop this. It is strange though because I don't recall this being an issue with this phone. I'll see if I can't find where that file would be.

Ya this was my first time I had ever encountered a problem and I have had 3 different refurbs.... So what they are doing is forcing the device to go into Samsung's recovery instead of your custom... But as long as you transfer a rom over the first time you boot into custom recovery and flash it your all good.... Just took me awhile to figure it out... Them bastards!! LOL
I did mine this weekend but it had been rooted prior to the OTA update, and I didnt do the update, I'm running AOKP JB..
My GFs has the update and just now I tried doin hers to put JB on it and it won't boot into CWM, just keeps goin to the Samsung recovery. I used the EZ-unlock tool v1.2, and Odin to put CWM on.
Hopefully we can get some help....

[Q] unbrick blaze

Hello,
I'm truly hoping someone can help me. I spent all night installing new roms on my phone. Ok let me back up. This is bout the tenth phone I've rooted. I rooted my blaze about 2 months ago using a one step(I think can't remember.) I never really installed a custom Rom until last night. The first Rom I installed was cm10, which I liked. Only problem was I couldn't mount my sd card because I am no where near a computer. So I decided to install the baked Rom. I was ecstatic to find that everything worked. However, the cm10 Rom seemed to be running at the same time. I found that very weird. So I tried to figure out a way to get the cm10 off my phone. For hours I tried wiping and reformatting different things from recovery. My problem is the last time I rebooted my blaze out wouldn't go past the Samsung screen. I've tried all combos of the volume up down and power key and it never goes past Samsung. I'm assuming I've bricked my. It will show the battery charging screen. 1st it'll show the stock screen then the baked screen for charging. Please help me. I've searched xda for help and can't find anything to help.
Ps. I'm not at a computer now but please list help for when I'm able to get to one. And yes I've only gotten about 3hrs of sleep in the last 20hrs from messing with my phone.
Sorry for posting in development first meant to post here.
Odin to stock uvlh5. From sammobile.com/firmware
Edited... because I speak without thinking
^ what he means is download the stock ICS ulvh5 firmware from sammobile.com/firmware for the blaze/sgh-t769 and flash it on Odin.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T769 using xda app-developers app
Thats why I have the sammobile firmware and odin on a backed up. I've tried to learn from my mistakes well that's what I have learned a lot here hahahaha
Oh i remember reading you are not around a PC a lot... you need a PC for ODIN sounds like you can't get into recovery so PC only other way I know of. If I helped push thanks

[Q] Please help unbrick???!!!!

Here is what I did....
HTC One X (ATT). Unlocked and rooted yesterday. (TWRP)
Today tried to install CM10 and GApps, got stuck on CM bootscreen, then I flashed the boot.img and it still did not work....then my immediate next step (probably stupidly) was to flash modded boot...still did not work....I just got to HTC screen with the red writing on the bottom and nothing else....
So I got into TWRP and restored to my backup (which I was able to do before the above) and just got to the same HTC screen with red type on the bottom......now I started to panic.
I tried to relock the phone...and I did but now I cant go anywhere but the fastboot screen!!!!
Please Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you relocked already just run the ruu in fastboot and restore to stock.

Just read read and read more..be comfortable first than you'll be fine and know how to get out of any situation
Just read up and give it another go.....like anything else, sometimes you need certain thing to happen to learn....good luck.
Just saying, you flashed the boot.img after flashing the rom and gapps? The boot.img is flashed before flashing the rom
It can be done either way.
ive been seeing alot of new members soft bricking this way should read though this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957193 it explains every thing for ppl on hboot 1.14 and higher.

That is what is supposed to happen. Once you relock, you need to run the RUU. It won't boot otherwise.
I am unlocked and rooted again.....ready to try again...
I want to leave the phone alone but I cant help myself.......Anyone else have this issue???
I know what you mean, when i first got my one x and learned of rooting, i felt i was claustrophobic with normal stock. I Read and read and read some more, before I even thought about flashing roms. But I Recommenced flashing Viper JB 3.1.0 As it basically installs the boot img in the boot-loader for you. I also recommend Cm 10.1, except it does not have camera working as of yet. If you dont mind not having a camera, cm 10.1 is a very smooth rom. Also remember if flashing certain roms like cm 10. dalvik, cache and factory reset, as well as flashing the boot img are required for the rom to work. Good luck

[Q] Stuck in ''entering recovery...'' htc one s

What's up everybody! This is my first post here and I am what you would call a noob!
First of all I got tired of the 4.2.2 jb upgrade never coming to my htc one s and decided to give cyanogenmod 10.1 a shot (my first attempt ever tampering with mobile software)!
So I have unlocked the bootloader on my phone following a guide. It now says ''unlocked''
After that, I have tried to flash the paul recovery.img from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1583427 .
I have done it through adb with the command promt as it says on the article above!
The command promt apparently managed to do the job and it said ''finished'' as it should!
Then i rebooted the phone into recovery mode through the bootloader menu but it then stucks there doing nothing...I have left it for 5 minutes and it was still like that and i thought that the recovery wasn't succesful (i ve seen it going very fast at the clockworkmod menu at videos on youtube while mine was stuck). I then rebooted it by holding down the power button and it went to the sence screen normally.
Then i have tried the other recovery img described at the article...Same thing happened...Then the other one! Same thing again!
Every time i am trying to flash the recovery image the phone stucks in ''entering recovery...'' screen, doing nothing.
Am I doing something wrong?
Please help, it will be much appreciated! I really want to dig custom roms...I' m a total geek
Thanks in advance!!

To boot into recovery, Hold VolumeDown + Power.
Edit: maybe you've done that, but make sure that you choose the correct recovery version. that is, match the version of your phone S3/S4 with the recovery.
Specific recovery for specific phone.

Have the same problem (HTC one at&t) and that link he has that I clicked gives you a page of LIKE A WHOLE LIST of versions.. How do you know which one to choose?

The link works, i ve managed to do it but twrp is useless if you want to flash any roms...I have tried every known version of cm for htc one s and I can't flash any of them in my phone through the twrp recovery...Always fails for no apparent reason! If you want my advise, do not waste your time, cause it's almost certain that ig you flash any custom rom, you will loose the advantages of htc sense, including the camera performance and special effects and also the beautiful widgets...If anyone though knows how to flash a REALLY nice rom with twrp we will be glad to hear his/her suggestions!

sad part is I'm not going for anything fancy.. When I bought the phone (last week) it had version 4.1 on there and all I want to do is upgrade it to 4.2... and no it's NOT available through AT&T in anyways what's so ever.. hence the flash recovery chaos.
If no one response with a solid solution, then I'm just gonna let it be like you said.

Google twrp and Download it for VILLE (THE S4 MODEL HTC ONE S) and then flash it.
