Did you try rebooting the phone? If the problem still consists try factory resetting to stock and the root it again.

What gapps did you use? Sounds like a compatibility issue. Use the one from the Blaze Bible. After you flash the zip, factory reset. That should solve your problem. Still stuck? Boot cwm fix permissions, reboot. Last resort, start over from scratch and read very carefully each step....
If it helped hit thx
Same thing
I am having the same issue. It was after I installed cwm. the next step was to reboot into recovery mode, but I can't find anywhere that tells me to do it manually. I have also tried via ADB w/o success. I have tried various USB drivers in download mode and regular mode.
Any idea how to get into cwm and push .zips via USB from this state? Or, if I could install gapps from Odin, but I can't find a .tar for gapps.

Must be rooted for this method.
Download terminal emulator from play store. Open and type su press enter. Then type reboot recovery and press enter.

Off topic.. I remember when I was all noobish hahaha. This post makes me looks stupid lol..
Wipe data/factory reset. from the stock recovery only works if you're on ics.
have you tried installing/ reinstalling the right gaaps?
Just clear cache and Dalvik.
Worst Case Scenario!
Hm, if none of the above comments help you try this:
Flash back to Official Stock GB using this thread.
(I know this thread has NOTHING to do with your problem, but it has a link to Stock GB AND a guide on how to flash it.)
After you flashed that, root your phone using this thread
Be careful and READ EVERYTHING before following either of those two threads, you could potentially end up destroying your device, if you do you'll have no one to yell at but yourself!
same problem here. haven't successfully fixed my friend's device. HELP!!

is this suppose to happen?
HELP!
I am having the same problem here. I was trying to root my friend's phone using the link with the odin and then install the newest CM (which btw is JUST AWESOME). On download mode, I'm seeing like 10 counts and custom binary. I also tried odin with this T769UVLB7_T769TMBLB7_TMB that I found in another post.
I erased everything in the 1.4 gb rom, I've tried it all for hours. I saw this post and somebody else with the same problem but it looks like they couldn't solve it. I don't think it's a driver issue because the roms get flashed but the problems occur on the welcome start page. Then all the processes and services start stopping unexpectedly and I can't go any further. please somebody help!!!
Also installed Samsung Kies to see if it could change the firmware or fix it or anything. That's what I used to erase everything on the ROM (because I thought that could be the issue). But no, kies says my firmware can't be recognized or sth like that.
I have flashed on my own blaze thousands of ROMS form xda, but this is the first time I see something like this.

Hey Guys. So Some of you may know towelroot was just released by Geohot. I went ahead and tried it on my G2 runing stock 4.4.2 and it WORKED! I ran root checker after running the apk and it said I have full root level access. You just have to download SuperSu from market afterwards. I downloaded root explorer and was prompted with the prompt to grant root and all was well!
Link to original post: http://tinyurl.com/pykqkpt
1. Go to http://towelroot.com/
2. tap the logo for apk
3. Run the apk and follow directions within
4. After phone reboots, Install SuperSu
ALL DONE!
A side note, I haven't tried using rom manager to install custom recovery as I'm not sure if we've found a button code. If someone is willing to help me with that Id be grateful. I can't afford to brick this phone as it's my only phone work work and play.
AWESOME.
Can anyone else confirm this before we try? any bugs?
And how do I go about installing TWRP recovery (or any other suitable recovery)
All is working fine, flash twrp recovery with autorec app by cloudy.
As a side note, please donate to Dev if you can. I know i did.

It worked for me, but can we install custom roms now since we can use autorec to install twrp?
This was already posted in the top level apps section for lg g2
I tried to install recovery with an app called RecoverX, it claimed to do its job but I can't get the device to reboot to recovery. Tried holding the power/volume down like they say but it didnt work.

When I see they said it would root a S5 on VZW I was pretty hopeful. I knew this was coming real soon. But I went ahead and did it the hard way anyway.

Just to clarify, you've managed to install TWRP on your G2 and boot it into recovery with autorec? Just want to make sure before I try.
Never used autorec so if you've got a guide to link to that'd be great.

too late I used a autorec and actually got the phone to TWRP. I then proceeded (stupidly) erasing everything and wiping the device because I thought I'd be able to mount it and copy the CyanogenMod file I wanted.
Boy was I wrong.. TWRP did not allow me to mount the device to USB. And for some reason I couldn't get the right driver to install in Device Manager.
At one point I decided it would be a good idea to restart, now I'm stuck at boot loop and I can't get back into TWRP. I tried holding power+down, that forces it to restart a bunch of times. I held the UP button but that puts it into FIRMWARE UPATE mode which also doesn't allow ADB
How do I get back to TWRP? how do I flash Cyanogen mod through ADB
Any ideas please?

Hold vol down + power button until screen flashes black followed by lg screen release buttons and quickly press both again and hold. It will boot you to a white screen asking you if you want to fully factory restore...press power to agree... Since twrp replaced factory recovery it will not wipe but instead take you into twrp...takes a couple tries sometimes... You need cm and gapps packages on your internal memory to flash through twrp
If you wiped everything you will have to start over by flashing the original firmware again. It happened to me too because I didn't have the ROM I was flashing on my device already. I used this guide, http://youtu.be/Lg693AYgoTo, to flash back to stock JB, then upgrade again. Just be sure the rom is you want to flash is on your phone since USB won't work. It's no guarantee though, esp. since there is that driver error.

What are you trying to accomplish connecting to computer?
Nevermind I forgot you can choose files from computer when connected...but yeah...may need full restore...there are a few step by step threads on here to do so
Same problem I encountered, so I just figured USB is a no go and had to do the firmware update and then start over with ROM and GAPPS on device next time.Hope you get it...it sucks with all the excitement and all the time us G2 owners had to wait!
Ugh. This sucks. this file is taking forever to download for some reason and I'm in no mood to start dealing with this ****.
I'm just going to take it to the T-Mobile store tomorrow.
It's rooted and they will check it with their diagnostic tool and tell you sorry. Just firmware update it to lose root first. Use this...easy...http://youtu.be/Lg693AYgoTo

OH wow. I ended up finding this wonderful little tool called LGMobile Support Tool which completely and automatically reset my device back to factory setting! That was SUPER easy.
I've been scouring over this website (SO much great information!), but am overwhelmed. I'm wondering if anyone would be so kind as to give me sort of the idiot's guide to root/rom my phone.
I have the straight talk galaxy SCH-S968C. It is running 4.1.2, is there anyway that I can get this to update to 4.4? After my research I'm pretty sure I can figure out how to root it (haven't done this yet, because I'm a little terrified).
Then is it possible to some how update it to 4.4. If this is possible, how do I do it?
Thanks for any help. I really do appreciate it!
I bit the bullet and rooted the phone. Wow could that have been any easier?!
I guess now what do I do?
Thank you so much for any help!

Unsure about the straight talk version of the S3 and I'm not even sure what version it's currently on. I know the VZW S3 ended up being on 4.4.2 but the ST version may of been different

Thanks! That wasn't the thread I was following to figure out how to upgrade, I had read that previously but didn't realize it had derailed to roms. I'm still making my way through it (only on page 33). I'm wondering is there a newb guide to this, like a Dummies Guide To Flashing Roms? I'm a somewhat technical person, but I've never worked on phones before. I'm stuck at this 4.1.2 version, and I would REALLY love to be at anything other than this. I just am beyond terrified of bricking my phone.
I have my phone rooted. I took a backup, I have terminal emulater, EZ - recovery, Clockwordl Mod, and superuser installed. I downloaded google apps (gapps-kk-20140105-signed) and cm-11-20140916-SNAPSHOT-M10-d2lte. I'm just unsure of my next steps. I just want re-assurance before I continue, I really don't want to brick my phone. Thanks again!

if you are rooted, have custom recovery installed and made your backup of your stock firmware in recovery(MAKE SURE YOU DO THIS SO YOU DONT HAVE PROBLEMS) , then all you have to do is put your CM ROM and your Gapps on your extsd card where you can find it, if you put it in a folder then remember which folder it is so you can find it, when you have it there then make sure your battery is fully charged, when its charged then boot to recovery, in recovery select install zip, then select install zip from sd card, then find your ROM and select it, then yes-install zip, it will then flash your ROM, whe its done do the same to flash your Gapps, when its done go back to main menu in recovery and select wipe data/factory rest, when its done select wipe cache, when done select advanced, then select wipe dalvik cache, when done go back to main menu and select reboot, let it load, it will be slow at first because it has to load everything you just flashed, just give it a minute, if it takes to long then just power it down and reboot, when it does boot you'll have to do your setup wiz like you did whe you first got the phone, finish setup, ENJOY your new ROM.
**now that you have custom recovery then anytime you find a rom for your phone that you want to try all you have to do is download your ROM and Gapps, place them on extsd like I instructed, then boot recovery and repeat what you just did but remember to make a backup of what you are running at the time BEFORE you flash the new, that way if you have problems with the new or if it won't boot then all you gotta do is boot to recovery select restore then restore the backup you nade and you'll be good again, I told you this just in case you have problems in future or want a new ROM. Good luck!

Thanks. I haven't had a chance try to put the rom on yet. I was working on this in early october and hadn't recieved any response back (that's why the rom and gapps are probably old - I'm assuming I'll need newer versions). I saw that there was a newer gapps in that thread posted. So thanks for that. Again I was not following that one earlier. I had read it but that was when I was trying to root not upgrade. I'll need to go through that thread again to see what roms people are using. I'm okay with using 3rd party apps (as long as everything works). And I need to find myself an old sim card. I think I've got an old phone laying around somewhere.
To the bolded, no there was no walk through (at least that I saw). It was chunks here and there but nothing really step by step. I know I'm a newb, but I'm pretty technical person I just like having instructions before I do things (unless I had a phone that i didn't care about wrecking!).
Thanks again for the help. I'm still nervous about doing this though!
@MrsELF you are rooted and have recovery so the hard and risky part is over, all you need now is your rom and gapps then put them on extsd like I said, then I literaly gave the instructions step by step word for word leaving nothing out or skipping anything, would you like me to give you a link for detailed instructions of what your recovery is, the funtions and features it has and how they are used? Do you want me to find you a tutorial on flashing a rom? Honestly, you are passed the dangerous part so relax. Your risk comes involved if you have a problem in the process before you get recovery installed, you have recovery so you have nothing to worry about now because you have your nandroid backup so even on the off chance that you have a problem your backup ccan be easily restored and you will be fine, that's why its called "RECOVERY" its a safety net, so even if you flash the wrong thing don't panic, its very simple, boot to recovery and restore your backup and threat eliminated. The CM11 and the CM12 are good roms but the CM12 is still buggy but getting better, CM11 2/17 nightly (I think) is stable with the third party apps. I think we are close to getting the stock MMS working, but we are still missing something, anyway, all the d2lte roms are supposed to be fine with the apps and sim, you can actually download as many as you like and try each one, flash one then test drive it, if you don't like it select another and flash it, test drive it and so on till you find the one you like, reading isn't going to find it for you, you'll just have to see how they each "feel".Actually your rom might work as it is because the older d2vzw roms work fine, the problem didn't start til the d2lte roms because that's when they merged all the builds for all the different S3s into one, that's why we have bugs because the devices are not all the same, if you'd like you can get on another device so we can comm back and forth through your flashing. You really do have no reason to be nervous now.

Rom manager makes it easier to find and download roms for your device because it will only give you a list of roms that work for your device so you don't have to pick through the crowd of other ROMs for other devices.

@MrsELF you are rooted and have recovery so the hard and risky part is over, all you need now is your rom and gapps then put them on extsd like I said, then I literaly gave the instructions step by step word for word leaving nothing out or skipping anything, would you like me to give you a link for detailed instructions of what your recovery is, the funtions and features it has and how they are used? Do you want me to find you a tutorial on flashing a rom? Honestly, you are passed the dangerous part so relax. Your risk comes involved if you have a problem in the process before you get recovery installed, you have recovery so you have nothing to worry about now because you have your nandroid backup so even on the off chance that you have a problem your backup ccan be easily restored and you will be fine, that's why its called "RECOVERY" its a safety net, so even if you flash the wrong thing don't panic, its very simple, boot to recovery and restore your backup and threat eliminated. The CM11 and the CM12 are good roms but the CM12 is still buggy but getting better, CM11 2/17 nightly (I think) is stable with the third party apps. I think we are close to getting the stock MMS working, but we are still missing something, anyway, all the d2lte roms are supposed to be fine with the apps and sim, you can actually download as many as you like and try each one, flash one then test drive it, if you don't like it select another and flash it, test drive it and so on till you find the one you like, reading isn't going to find it for you, you'll just have to see how they each "feel".Actually your rom might work as it is because the older d2vzw roms work fine, the problem didn't start til the d2lte roms because that's when they merged all the builds for all the different S3s into one, that's why we have bugs because the devices are not all the same, if you'd like you can get on another device so we can comm back and forth through your flashing. You really do have no reason to be nervous now.

[/COLOR @MrsELF, the tapatalk app makes navigating these forums a lot easier, it also gives you acces to every forum site for android devices, there are many, XDA is the top of the game in my opinion but you CAN sometimes find things on other sites that you won't find here

Rom manager makes it easier to find and download roms for your device because it will only give you a list of roms that work for your device so you don't have to pick through the crowd of other ROMs for other devices.

I truly appreciate the help! I just need to find the rom that I know want to use. You say the riskiest part is over.... Well that happened to be the EASIEST part! It seriuosly took like two seconds to root the phone. I just am nervous that I'm not finding the "correct" rom for my phone. And it's like I need to find a half an hour of my time to attempt to do this once i find an old sim card.
Random question for you, I read in that thread you linked, that you haven't rooted/flashed your phone. Is there a reason why?
my pc is fritzed, everything else I have is rooted and tweaked out to the max not just custom flashed, I'm getting impatient though, I'm ready to get on a ROM and do some tests and work some bugs out, why? I would also love to get my hands on the stock firmware for my device first because I have the H2 device and since there is no root for H2 without downgrading to H1, if I downgrade I will lose the stock H2 with no way to get it back, ill be on H1, it would be nice to have the H2 stuff to work with because it has upgrades over the H1, modem and things like that plus my device has 2Gb RAM where yours has 1Gb

if you would like to ask the other guys questions that are actually on the roms then you can type thier name in with a mention and they will get a notification telling them that you mentioned them and they'll check and they'll probably be more than glad to answer you, you do that by adding the @ to their name like this: @MrsELF, give it a try if you'd like to ask one of them wgat they are running, you can be sure that they are running the best and easiest choice, so you might want what they have

you actual flashing will only take like five minutes maybe ten, it will take you longer to get your download than it will to flash, once you boot to recovery it only takes a minute or two to flash each zip so its not a long process
Sent from my SCH-S968C using Tapatalk
@N_psycho_PD_uh? Thanks for the help. I think I'll stick with the ones i've got downloaded then, and use the third party apps. Until the newer ones become more stable. Do you happen to know with the ROM I've got downloaded if I need the extra sd card? Just wondering because if I don't then I can try doing this shortly.
Also it's been awhile since I've looked at all this, so I was just making sure I had everything on my phone that i needed and the unbrick image. I ran this dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/Unbrick.img bs=4096 count=50000 to make a backup (from terminal emulator). Where on earth did the unbrick.img go? I can't seem to find it anywhere on my sdcard. But it actually looked like it did run the command. I'm slightly confused.

rooting and recovery on your device just happens to be easy, don't be fooled its not so easy on a lot of devices, you just got lucky and got an easy one, actually this device can be rooted, recovery and rommed all without using a pc even once, therez an app called towelroot that is just a 1 click and its rooted, EZ recovery is a 1 click for recovery and ROM Manager is an app that lets you find a ROM, download it and boot straight from ROM Manager into recovery without having to use the buttons to boot there then it flashes whst you selected, easy as pie, plus no risk because the apps won't dont even make it possible to choose or do wrong, just a few clicks and a few minutes and your full custom all without touching a pc but I'm not so fortunate because I have the H2

One last thing
@N_psycho_PD_uh? A couple of questions:
1. I ran this to get the unbrick image (this is the backup that I would need to restore it right?) dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/Unbrick.img bs=4096 count=50000
Or is there a different backup I need to take? I saw on some other video or someplace, that if you boot into recovery mode, you can take a backup from there. I don't see that option.
2. When I go into recovery mode, it doesn't look like the video I watched or what you described. I would think i should see a "install from zip" option but there isn't. Here is what I have:
reboot system now
apply update from ADB
apply update from external storage - I'm assuming I'd pick this one, and when I do I can then navigate to the place where I have my ROM stored.
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
apply update from cache.
Sorry for the dumb questions and hand holding
ETA: I have ROM Manager installed, but I don't think i actually have clockwork mod installed.... Looks like I need to figure out how to install that.
ETA: I know how to install it, but I have to figure out what phone model to use.

the unbrick img was a good idea, if you want to be sure you did it right then go to the XDA home page and click the xda search box and type How to unbrick sch-i535, that will take you to a post with detailed instructions on how to make and use the unbrick.img
you have your stock recovery still so use either Rom manager or EZ recovery apps to find your CWM (clockworkmod) you are looking for the one for the verizon s3

go in your terminal emulator and type command "adb reboot nvdata backup" that will nake a backup of your imei for restoring data connectivity if something happens, you shouldn't need the unbrick and the nvdata backup though, but they are nice to have, you can do a search on each for more instructions on how to make and use them, what gave you the idea to make your backups?

I gotta give it to ya, you're being thorough and doing your reasearch and not only looking to flash but also preparing solutions for any problems you may have and how to get it back, that's good, that's what I did when I did the research for this device, there are three completely different versions of the sch-s968c and the differences matter when flashing, H1 is fine but with the H2 there is one with a qcom chipset and one with a Exynos chipset and that matters, so I gathered all my pieces before going any further, the only thing you don't have that I do are the camera files from the thread and the modem file, those are tricky to use but I think you can handle it, btw there is a link in the thread that takes you to detailed unbrick instructions.

One last thing @N_psycho_PD_uh? I started searching for adb reboot nvdata backup. I can't find much about it. What exactly does this do? How do I restore if I need it? Where is the file stored? I was able to get CWM installed, and i took a backup from the recovery mode. Should I still backup the IMEI? I'm assuming so, but just figured that the backup I took from the recovery should be fine if I need to restore, right?

Like I said I work in a tech field, I've had to restore in the past (not phones but other systems), and not having the proper backups make restoring a nightmare. So I have found (from past experience) it is SO much easier to be prepared for the worst to happen, and be happy when you don't need to use those files
Thanks again for all your help and guidance I really do appreciate it.
I'd appreciate any help to get my phone working again. I've only had it for a couple of weeks and I'm hoping I haven't completely ruined it...
I'll try to recall the exact steps I took to get to this point:
First, towelroot wouldn't work to get root due to me accepting the OTA update to 4.4.4 android. So I found on a forum post that you can use Odin to flash the stock kernel and then towelroot will work. So I downloaded the stock kernel and flashed it successfully using Odin. Towelroot was then able to work with success. After that I installed SuperSU and busybox. Then I was using this guide (URL omitted due to forum rules) to install SafeStrap recovery as I'd read CWM recovery didn't work for the G900A model (AT&T). Safestrap seemed to install OK and when I rebooted I was able to get into the SafeStrap software interface. From there, I attempted to flash the CM12 nightly build to the "stock rom" slot (I'd read there was some trouble using the non-stock-rom slots in SafeStrap). That operation completed with success, but when I tried to reboot, it froze at the CM12 splash screen. I tried this with a few more custom ROMS and they all do the same thing (freeze up on boot logo / splash screen).
I've tried using Odin to flash back the stock firmware. As long as I didn't try to flash the bootloader (BL) Odin shows "PASS". However, when it reboots it again hangs on the Samsung splash screen.
So at this point, I've flashed all stock firmware to the phone (except BL) and it freezes and then goes black screen on the Samsung splash screen. Also, it no longer shows the SafeStrap "recovery / continue" bootup screen since I flashed the stock firmware.
Any ideas on how I can get back to a useable device?...

Googled the error. Solution is to flash the firmware with PIT file. Only problem is that someone has to give you a working pit file.

Same problem with other Samsung phone and description for the solution --> CLICK ME
I'm still stuck... I'm just looking to get back to a usable device. I really don't care if it's a stock or custom rom at this point. Any help is appreciated.
I tried flashing with the full firmware package I downloaded (4.4.2 G900A stock firmware) which included a *.pit file inside one of the tarballs. I used the PIT/re-partition option and everything succeeded except it still freezes at the Samsung boot logo.
Anyone? I'm getting desperate here...
