Three finger salute
Hold volume up, volume down and power until you get to the Samsung splash screen then release the power button. You should find yourself in recovery after the kernel splash screen. If it goes into your boot animation, you failed and should do it again.
Edit: I saw that most of your other stuff is with the SGSIII. Do you have a SGS4G that you are doing this on, or did you wonder here by mistake?

Pull the battery first, with the USB unplugged. Put the battery back in, then do the three finger salute. That's what I do when reboot loops happen for me...

yes guys! forget about the s3 sig, i have it also, but i rooted a sgs4g of my friend and installed Ccustom rom, not he had this issue after like 5 months i told him to reflash the ROM and hes in a bootloop, he CANT get into recovery :/, he cant boot only odin!.
If you are doing this via proxy (him actually doing what you tell him) then tell him to get rid of odin and download one of the Heimdall one clicks. If you can get into bootloader mode you can flash a back to stock.
Also If you pull the battery and wait a couple minutes then put it back while holding the three buttons sometimes that will jumpstart recovery mode.
We have an awesome guide on how to get back to stock gingerbread which will allow your friend to flash back to a stock rom if he can get into download mode. Full guide with pictures

Well of he is using odin, this is a better one click for him. You get rooted with a cwm kernel.

It's okay man we'll try to get you back to normal! Relax, boot loops aren't really a big deal.
Are you running stock 2.3.6 or a custom rom?
If i remember correctly nandroid restores were broken on gb, or was it just kj6(2.3.6) either way, you should be able to get back into recovery and flash the rom again

Can you get back into recovery? (hold vol up vol down and press power) I assume you have cwm recovery? It's red and will say cwm recovery at the top.
If so hit up the dev section and find one of our many awesome custom roms id suggest start with valhalla final by whitehawkx. Download it on your computer.
Now go to "mounts" inside your cwm recovery and select mount usb.
Connect your phone to the computer with your usb, it'll open like usual on your comp.
Put the downloaded zip on your sd.
Now go back to the main screen in your cwm recovery and choose install zip from sd. Choose the zip and it'll flash it. You should be good then!

recovery is not working :/
i hold the buttons just like the way you said (yes, i have cwm)
but it is still stock at "galaxy s 4g,exclusively from t-mobile" screen
but i can get to download thou,
What might get you into recovery is by trying:
shutting the phone down (you might have to remove the battery). Hold down volume up, volume down, & the power button. keep holding them down until you see the "Galaxy S" screen. When that screen gets a bit brighter only let go of the power button. Keep holding the volume buttons down until you see the recovery screen.

Hey guys i just got this phone from a random on craigslist and hes unlocked the bootloader and stopped there. I dnt know what method he used but in order to power on the device i have to use certain button combos. Example it boots straight to recovery so i reboot now and while its rebooting i have to hold both volume buttons and the power until a white lettered screen pops up and use volume up to power on. And tips? Ty in advance.

on the white-lettered screen try and choose Bootloader. if you can get there you can flash either CWM or TWRP recovery, then flash a working system, or else do a full firmware flash with RSD Lite. or if he already flashed a custom recovery you could boot there and try flashing a working ROM.
Hes got cwm on here. And from what i can tell just rooted the stock rom. Ive never seen a device having a method to power on except maybe a semi tethered jailbroken iphone. Idk

Any suggestions for roms for when i get this figured out?
Sent from my XT897 using xda app-developers app
The device should turn on normally, unless he did something to put it in a bootloop. That's why i figured your basic option was to do a stock restore of some kind.
Check the dev. sections, but rooted stock is basically the only option at present. There are starts on CM9 and CM10 builds, but i don't think they do a whole lot besides boot up. There is a deodexed version of stock that you can flash, and at least apply some tweaks and such
Right on thanx man ill try it and see what happens.

Ok new topic. I think the dude i got the phone from unlocked the bootloader but didnt root it. He said it was rooted. But when i dl rom manager it said i wasnt. So i guess my question is how do i root the thing?
Sent from my XT897 using xda app-developers app
Ah ok, if the bootloader is unlocked, just flash either CWM or TWRP recovery thru Fastboot, then boot into recovery and flash SU.
Edit: after flashing recovery, make sure to boot straight into recovery by holding the volume up button while rebooting. If you boot into the system, it will probably overwrite your flash with stock recovery.
Hes already installed cwm. I cant use regular boot methods. When i reboot the phone it boots into recovery. Thats when i hold down all the buttons to bring up the boot options screen. So basically all i have to do is flash the su file? Btw I tried doing that along with flashing a kernel and cm9 it wouldnt boot into the rom.

I'm not sure how you're sending all these messages from a dead phone...
But regardless, CM9 doesn't really "work" per se. It boots, sure... but nothing else works.
You're going to have to flash one of the stock backups people posted around. I know there was a .win backup of everything - which you'll need TWRP to restore.
Ughhh... I am in recovery and after a restore , I go to reboot system and instead of going to rom it brings me back to recovery again. I can't get out of recovery. What can I do????
Thanks...
i'm having the same problem right now too.
Boot into download mode and hit the volume down to cancel (reboot)
Should work for now until there is a patch.

you can also use Odin to flash an old version.
Just remember to either use odin to flash an old version or find one through ROM Manager, so you don't get stuck in a boot loop again next time you restart the phone.
I am having the same problem. Booting to download mode, selecting yes then pulling the battery got me out of it. Very frustrating to say the least.
Is there a problem with the new CWM touch that just came out I wonder?

yes there is. as soon as it updated it started everything mentioned in all of the above posts. i odined and flashed back to older recovery. all better.
I was adding a new rom to my phone when I accidentally hit reboot after I deleted everything off of it. Now when I try to flash stock onto it using odin it just vibrates every two seconds and doesnt do anything on the screen it's just black. Please help!!!
If your Odin flash finished successfully and that stuff is happening afterwards just pull the battery put it back in go to recovery and clear cache and factory reset. You you should be OK after that.

I tried that. It just keeps vibrating and flashes samsung. it won't let me get to the recovery to clear it all. :crying:
Does it go to download mode? I hope it does. Flash a cwm tar recovery clean up and then flash stock again.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app
yes it does go into download mode. can you please post a link for that so I no Im putting the right thing onto it. sorry Im a noob lol
Just reflash your stock with Odin one more time and watch it finish successfully. If reflashing didn't work read the thread for restoring to stock by vincom. Everything you need is there and don't hesitate to read more and make sure you know what you're doing. Don't check any extra options in Odin either!

I used this thread by vincom to return to stock with ODIN when I had an issue with my S2 and worked like a charm.

Hopefully, I have done the due research and surveying before posting this.
So I had Jellybean (4.2.1, I believe) installed and running for the last few months, and have decided to unroot and go back to stock.
So, I followed what most online posts have instructed and got the Blaze.pit and Samsung t769 tar file.
I then ran them on ODIN, and even got the success "PASS" note.
Then the trouble began.
I've been stuck boot looping since then, but it won't let me go to the recovery mode.
If I take the battery out and back in and press the both volumes and power, tiny green speckles start to show. And the screen fills up to near white after 10 minutes or so, but nothing really happens. (i.e. stuck like that until I take the battery out)
I figured out when I hold the volume buttons and connect to the PC (with the device off), I can still go to the downloading mode (ODIN mode), but still I can't access recovery mode.
I am positive I didn't check Re-Partition box when I ran Odin, so hopefully this isn't bricked.
I don't NEED to go to the recovery mode, but I figure that's how I'd "try" to get out of boot looping.
Thank you for reading and for your help in advance.

So first register at www.sammobile.com, then search SGH-T769 under firmware and download the August 2012 ICS or The Feb 2013 ICS Firmware, wait for the download to finish (took me 30 minutes) then extract which ever firmware zip you downloaded then using Odin click on PDA and select the .md5 file which is located in the extracted ICS Firmware Folder that you've downloaded from sammobile.com
Download the PIT file here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1919228
Click on PIT in Odin and then select the one downloaded from the link above
then make sure re-partition isn't checked and start the flashing process after it is done flashing and reboots you'll have stock ics to install custom recovery just simply follow the instructions over at the root ics stock thread found here
