I went to install AOKP 4.0.4 5.22.12 on my i777, I wiped the Dalvik Cache, wiped and formatted to factory, then, just prior to installing I also wiped the battery stats (I think this was the wrong thing to do at the wrong time), It started to install the new rom and then froze. I turned it off and did the 3 button CWM Recovery and turned it off to bring it back to recovery. Unfortunately, now, it won`t come back on. Help PLEASE!
If you can't turn it on at all, its bricked..
try going to download mode using 3 button combo(home+power+Vol-) and flashing the rom again. If U can go to recovery restore a backup.
So I tried using ROM manager to install cyanogen mod 10.1 on my AT&T 16gb GS3. Was already rooted, had superuser so on and so forth.
1. Downloaded CWM RomManager.
2. Flashed CWM Recovery.
3. Downloaded CM 10.1 port for i317 (the AT&T GN2 model) and the 4.2.1 gApps zips.
4. Chose to install ROM from SD card in RomManager, added both CM 10.1 but NO gApps (why? because I'm hardheaded), and only selected install (did not wipe cache or user data at this point).
5. Received blue CyanogenMod boot screen... excited... but it remains on the boot screen. Sad face.
6. Removed battery to power the device off, placed battery back in, and then booted into recovery mode (CWM recovery)
Tried clearing cache, reflashing stock rom, factory reset, got nothing.
so after I wipe and reboot a couple of times, It works. Cyanogen 10.1 looks sick. Then I realize no Gapps.
So again i return to google. I download the zip file from (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1965290) and transfer to sd card.
But After I factory reset I lost CWM and I'm stuck with the standard droid recovery
So I try to apply update from external storage, pick the zip file, and I get a dead Android.
So yeah I'm pretty stuck.

[Solved]
Completely derooted. Returned to stock touchwiz via http://galaxys3root.com/galaxy-s3-unroot/how-to-unroot-att-galaxy-s3-sgh-i747/
So I decided to flash CM 10.2, following all the directions exactly. Got it to boot up once and now I can't get the "Bootloader unlocked screen."
I have tried wiping data, system, caches. Reinstalled CM 10.2 three times now. Still nothing.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Which recovery are you using?

Pushed TWRP instead of CMW recovery and formatted, reinstalled and got it to boot. Someone else recommended getting SU app on before restarting. Second restart also took ~5 min but it did boot. All going smooth now.
ok so here is what i have done and what has happened. so far google and the search box keep taking me to threads with similar problems but those fixes dont work or do not apply to me afaik.
so i started on cm11s stock rooted on the One. (bootloader is already unlocked)
checking the PA rom thread it said if you are flashing from cm11 make sure to flash to cm12 first, then flash gapps.
once that is working get into recovery mode (twrp in my case) clear cache and dalvik then flash PA rom
done that then ended up in an android apps loading bootloop. i have flashed GAPPS also but still remaining in the bootloop.
now if i go back to cm12 i can get to the homescreen and use it a little. but once i plug the usb cable in (connected to PC) it reboots. it also reboots randomly. i have since just wiped the entire phone. now once im on the homescreen i try to access the internal storage in windows and the device appears but does not show anything. i am trying to copy the PA rom zip and Gapps zip to the phone to try flashing again. since it has been crapping itself i have been using adb sideload to flash files.
so what am i missing, what have i forgot to do along the way?
cm11 to cm12 then PA as per instructed is giving me a bootloop (with wiping cache+dalvik when supposed to)
any help is appreciated,
cheers,
kanjo

The PA thread actually says to flash PA over the top of CM12 while only wiping cache and dalvik cache? No wiping system or data? I'd put money on that being the cause of your problems. The only reason to flash CM12 first is to have the proper updated firmware installed in preparation for PA. Leaving the system and data partitions intact before flashing a different ROM (PA over CM12) is asking for trouble.
Go into TWRP and perform a full wipe (system, data, cache, dalvik cache), then flash the PA zip and the gapps zip and reboot. Don't flash CM12 again because the firmware was updated the first time you flashed it.
EDIT: Exactly which thread are you getting these instructions from? Neither of the PA threads that I'm aware of contain those instructions.

was coming back just now to update whats happening.
i finally got PA to boot. after many many fresh installs of cm12. one booted without a loop. i went back to twrp did a factory reset (wipe of dalvik and cache) (device was already freshly wiped of all data) had tried this many times but it finally booted.
now i have some weird things happening., ie. if i go into settings and enable or disable ADB the phone reboots... it didn't have that happen when i was on cm11. so not sure why it is happening now.
further if i install GAPPS i get a boot loop of android is upgrading. not sure why. the only boot that seems to work is when i run PA no gapps and no SUroot. any ideas why this is happening? or for how long the android is upgrading is meant to loop. ive seen some people say it is normal and could last 10 minutes. ive sat through multiple sessions of this some 1hour+ long. so not sure what is going wrong. i dont usually have much trouble flashing roms. this one is puzzling.
**edit**
forgot to add when it does boot. well when it did,. its now on a Android is upgrading loop after flashing GAPPS and enabling root......
anyway when it did boot the homescreen would show an error saying "settings has stopped" not sure why that is happening either.

Just to be clear, you've wiped system, data, cache, and dalvik cache directly before flashing PA? No CM flashes since wiping all of those partitions?
Also, which thread are you getting those install instructions from? Neither of the PA threads that I'm aware of contain those instructions.
ill try to clean up what has happened here;
have tried booting to twrp. wiped all data,
flashed PA
booted. with weird errors (settings has stopped and reboots on usb plugged in or adb turned off or on)
tried to flash gapps and enable root
now bootloop of android is upgrading.
going to go back to twrp. wipe all data and flash PA again without gapps and without root. will report back in about 10 minutes. will flash by using TWRP and ADB sideload.
do i need to reflash cm12 if i clear all data in twrp? i saw you mention above once i have flashed cm12 once it will have the need FW files to go to lolipop (in this case PA rom) at the moment i am trying to sideload PA rom after wiping data, system, cache and dalvik. is this why i am having the issue?
im dead tired so i admit i can be making mistakes though everything i have done seems to be what i am meant to do. flashed from cm11 to cm12, cleared all data, then flashed PA+gapps and root. = upgrading boot loop and errors mentioned above. tried flashing just PA and it booted with same errors, flashed gapps and errors.
all the files MD5s look good. not sure what is wrong.
--edit--
okay now i am at homescreen on PA.
when enabling/disabling adb in dev settings i get a reboot. is this normal now? does it need to reboot to mount the filesystem or something?
when it does boot after enabling adb i get "settings has stopped"
going to go to TWRP and flash GAPPS now and leave root not installed. will report back in a sec.

You only need to flash CM12 once, ever. The wipes don't remove the firmware.
Right now this is the exact (and only) process you need to follow:
1. Boot into TWRP.
2. Wipe system, cache, dalvik cache, and data.
3. Flash ROM + gapps together.
4. Reboot phone.

Not sure why that's happening of you're following the correct process. Maybe try with a different ROM.

balls, was hoping to us PA, haven't used it since my old s3 and figured it was the rom for me again. will have to check the rom comparison spreadsheet and look into others.
right now i have sideloaded PA alone. will copy PA and gapps to the internal storage to make things easier.
but it doesnt look like it is going to work for me.
going to try it once more like you said but locally rather than through sideload. though the internal storage is deciding when it does and doesnt want to show up.
TWRP
wipe system, cache, dalvik cache, and data.
and flash them both in tandem.
and for the fun of it when it asks if i want to install root i will let it go right ahead.
maybe this time it will work. if not then its a different rom for me. sadly.
okay so now **** got retarded. TWRP has been replaced by the stock cm11 recovery and i am too pissed off to think straight and cannot remember how to get this son of a ***** rooted again let alone to flash TWRP. i dont want to use any toolkits they all seem broken as hell.
can anyone point me in the right direction because ive just about lost my **** and this phone is going to meet my fist head on very shortly...
**edit**
done. after all this i am now on cm11 stock rooted ....seriously. hours upon hours, just to get back to where i started.
man i love when things go smoothly. anyway cheers for your help @Heisenberg . n
I have an old Samsung 5670 and decided to flash cyanogen 11. I successfully installed clockwork 6.0.4.5-beni and then i flashed cm-11-20140116-NIGHTLY-beni, wipe data, wiped cache and dalvik and everything worked just fine. And then, dissaster came: i tried to install gapps and since then (i got a message that flashing was successful) and since then, everytime i turn on my phone i can only enter into the os but the only thing i see is battery status and time on the upper right corner and the rest of the screen is black. I can swipe from the top (i can see the date and time and a "emergency calls only" message).
I tried wipe data/factory reset from recovery, wiped cache and dalvik, i even re-flashed cm 11 and i am still having the same issue. I tried to flash a different rom (miui 2.4.20) but im getting an "installation aborted" message. Even tried to flash the stock rom with odin but though i have installed the usb drivers odin can not "see" my device.
And yes, i was stupid enough not to take a nandroid backup
So now what? Is there a way to fix this?
