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

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.

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?

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, 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

I have Verizons S3. I recently rooted and unlocked the bootloader and have TWRP recovery. I was on 4.1 JB. I made a Nandroid Backup of System and Data. I then flashed the CM10.1 Monthly ROM, and all seemed to be working fine. However, I was having some issues with my app backups and the weird "emulated" directory structure. So I decided to go back to my Nandroid Backup and start over.
I went into TWRP, did a factory reset, cleared System Data, cache/dvalick cache, then I restored the Nandroid Backup (system and data). TWRP said it was successful and asked to reboot. When I did, the Samsung logo flashes, and then the screen stays black. I tried going back into recovery, but it won't let me. I can get to download though.
I think I'm going to have to use Odin to reflash a ROM as I can't get into recovery, right? But I'm also trying to understand what I did wrong. Did I forget a step? Did it have something to do with differences between 4.1 and 4.2? I'm new to this, and have searched the forums but can't find anything that answers my questions specifically. I appreciate the help.

You're supposed to backup "boot.img" as well. I'm pretty sure boot.img is the kernel which you failed to backup. The phone won't boot into your nandroid because the kernel wasn't restored as well. In TWRP: system, data, and boot are all supposed to be backed up simultaneously if you want to restore the entire nandroid. Odin flash and make sure to do a proper nandroid with all three that I listed.

Ah, perhaps that "boot" checkbox wasn't check. =P So basically the CM10.1 boot.img is still there, but now the wrong ROM is there so it won't boot? Can I just flash the boot.img with Odin now, or will I need to do a full ROM flash?

No, when I do the button combo for recovery, the word "Samsung" flashes, then "Galaxy S3" logo, but after that nothing...just blank screen. I was on stock Verizon s3 before this, so I guess I need to put that kernel back on the phone? Is the kernel the same as the bootloader? Can I use the unlocked bootloader referenced in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1974114?
So, I tried using Odin to flash back the stock JB 4.1.1 kernel, which should have matched my Nandroid backup, but then I got an unlocked padlock on my splash screen and then the yellow triangle. blah. so i flashed a stock no wipe rom and that got me back into touchwiz, but I cant get into recovery no matter what i do. And I still have the padlock. I think I may need to do a stock full wipe rom?

If you flashed a fully stock rom then you need to root, unlock, and install your custom recovery again.

Ok, so I finally got time to try this again after flashing back to (what I thought) was stock Jelly Bean 4.1. I was following the directions here in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2046439
I get the VRALEC bootchain fine, phone reboots and all seems well. I got to flash TWRP 2.4, do a batter pull, and when I try to boot into recovery mode suddenly there is the Samsung splash screen with an unlocked padlock on it. Then the screen goes black and doesn't go into recovery. When I release the buttons, the phone then boots into the OS. I can still get to the download mode, but for some reason I can't get into a custom recovery. Any help on this? Please?
I used this file to wipe my phone back to stock JB: COMBINATION_I535VRBLK3_I535VZWBLK3_381038_REV09_user_low_ship.tar.md5
Thanks for the assistance. =)
Redo step three like the directions state.
Edit : In that thread, some folks even suggest waiting 5-10 mins after its successfully flashed before booting into recovery.

Forgot to followup here, but I got it working. I left my phone plugged in after flashing the recovery for like 15 minutes. I also released the power button on trying to boot into recovery once the Samsung logo appeared. I finally got into recovery and was so happy. Thanks for the help!

Firstly its FLASH not FLUSH.!! On which system did you flash the ROM.. If you have flashed on 2nd system you should not wipe data... It will wipe out your other partitions... And did you flash via bmm or cwm??

I used Atrix2BootStrap.apk which seem like CWM based, there was no option 1st system or second system, it was like standard flashing(means normally we flash using Clock world recovery so no 1s or seccond system option appeared).

i think this rom can be install via BMM only... my friend has do like what you do before..... the only you can do is FXZ to stock,root,and then go to play store, install BMM 0.3..... dont install bootstrap.apk again after installing BMM and you will be fine...
I seem to have a similar issue.
First of all although this is my first post on XDA I'm not new to flashing and using Custom Roms infact I have been using CM 10.1 versions switching back and forth between 4.1.2 when I run into trouble.
I decided to give PA a shot and seem to have run into a wall. I flashed PA nokex on system 3 (which previously had CM10.1 - JBX 0.8.1(kernel)).
Before flashing PA on it I destroyed and recreated system, data and cache partitions so I didn't see the need to do wipes on them again. Nevertheless I did dod wipes. Flashed PA nokex, Gapps, wiped dlavik cache and rebooted. (Using BMM ofcourse)
I am stuck at a black screen with the red LED. I would really like to sample PA so any help would be really appreciated.

Reboot to recovery, Wipe cache.
I did it no use...
What about sending it for repair again, then when it comes back do a nandroid restore of your data only (not system and other partitions), see whether that works.
