Need Help!!! Boot Loop and can't wipe after entering recovery - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

I seem to be able to enter recovery however halfway through the rom installation it resetted on its own. Now it goes into constant loop on boot and when i reenter recovery when i select to reset to factory it will reboot halfway through. Also it randomly says it needs root access when it had root prior to when i tried to dirty flash the rom. Please help!!!

Looks like you might want to go into Download mode and start all over. Odin flash VRBMF1, run Casual, and try again. Which rom did you flash btw?

Well when it happened before, usually the person has access to a Windows machine within a few hours/day of their issue. Can you try dirty flashing another rom perhaps? Maybe its just something corrupt with that specific Hyperdrive zip? Its my understanding you can access recovery but you just can't format data.

[Q] need help, noob flashed a kernel by accident.

Ok, this is my first time unlocking a device and it went well. I used Hasoon2000's kit to unlock and got twrp flashed and was going to get the Paranoid Android rom and Rohan's kernel all set to go. while getting it all set up, I was trying to figure out how to launch the command for the kernel but ran it instead. now my device is in a perpetual booting loop. Is there anything I can do or am I out of luck?

Wipe everything except sd card and flash a new ROM..
Typed from my HTC Explorer(Pico)

reboot into bootloader and "fastboot flash boot boot.img" the stock kernel from PA
How would I go about accessing the bootlaoder if it just keeps loading to the HTC boot screen then resetting itself?

So I am in the bootloader, now whenever I click recover it goes back into the loop. is it possible for me to flash the stock kernel to stabilize it?
that's what i said. extract the boot.img from the rom. boot.img = kernel and flash it using "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
my problem here is that i don't have PA flashed on it yet. Is there a way to fastboot the rom onto it from my pc? there isn't an option to do that from Hasoon2000's kit.
I got into twrp on my device. Do I need to mount the SD to put PA on my device to flash it?

Alright, just started the flash. hope everything goes well. thanks for your help so far.
PA is flashed, but now it won't load the rom. It starts the PA loading animation, then nothing it has been sitting there for about 30 mins.
I have the feeling that I may have soft bricked the phone. I have tried re-flashing PA and even tried CM10, both times clearing both caches. Is there anything else I can do to get past the boot animation?
Are you on hboot 1.14 (2.20 firmware)?
Did you flash the kernel before installing the rom?

yes to both, and I had just read about needing to flash the boot.img first. For my own clarification, the boot.img is the kernel correct? If so Hasoon2000's kit has a section to put the img in and just flash it on. When ever I choose factory reset from the bootloader, it takes me into twrp, by doing this has it already done the factory reset, or is there something else I need to do?
this is starting to feel like a trial by fire situation for me

You factory reset from bootloader? Can you access your SD card in TWRP?
Yes I can access the sdcard from twrp, and I have used the factory reset option a couple of times to access twrp when I was first having issues getting in from the recovery option.
update - I just tried flashing it again and It finally cleared the animation. I am setting it up now and thanks to everyone for their help.

Tab keeps shutting down / Can't flash custom recovery

Hello, guys, how are you all?
I'm having some trouble with my Galaxy Tab 2 (P3100), and I was hoping you could help.
Here's the thing, the Tab shuts down minutes after I boot it. So I tried to factory reset the tab, using its stock recovery.
The thing is, although it says the wipe was successful, nothing happens, nothing changes.
Alright, next I tried flashing a custom recovery - CWM - with Odin on Windows. Again, it says the flash was successful, but when I try to boot in recovery mode, it's the stock recovery that loads! Absolutely no sign of CWM whatsoever. Using Heimdall on linux got me the exactly same result, and I'm out of norse gods...
Finally, flashing the stock rom for the P3100 using Odin always fails. I'm not sure why.
So sorry for the long post. Can anyone help me?

Unmark 'Autoreboot' option in Odin. Then reboot it manually into recovery...

Broke it... CWP boot loop

Hello, my tablet seems to be stuck in a boot loop and i've tried flashing the recovery and supersu again to no avail. I've also tried that exitrecovery zip floating around. I think I might have flashed a kernel by accident want trying to root.
Background
Tried using WinDroid Universal Android ToolKit. <- was successful in unlocking bootloader only. tried various times to install twrp but nothing would happen. The "recovery mode" in BL would just show android with caution triangle. I then used WinDroid's "commands" section to try and flash recovery. I may have flashed kernel instead? I have CWM 6.0.5.0. Help would be appreciated. This is what i get for trying to take the easy way out -_-.
Update: I tried "SHIELD TABLET RECOVERY IMAGE FLASHING INSTRUCTIONS" from nvidia itself and now it just hangs in the nvidia logo screen forever. I tried both the "flash-all.bat" and the manual line by line one. any clues?
If someone could tell me how to just make the wipe the whole thing i wouldn't mind restarting to root properly.
Any one got any info? =D

Its not hard, just restore it back to factory, a couple of quick google searches:
https://developer.nvidia.com/sites/...s/HowTo-Flash-SHIELDTablet-Recovery-Image.txt
http://forum.xda-developers.com/shi...k-recovery-images-ota-library-guides-t2988881
When you download the images make sure you do a MD5 on them.
The good news its very hard to kill this tablet, and very easy to unlock/flash/root.

I tried flashing and doing a full OTA rom install to no avail. I however unsure what MD5 is and would that have a effect on my outcome.

Yeah, its werid that its still stuck. I have tried doing it both way manual tell adb each file to flash and through the flash-all.bat way as well. Im going to try the link you sent in a bit.
How long did you let it sit at the boot logo? If you are booting on a clean install it may take a bit longer.
Just download and use fastboot (fastboot flash recovery image.img) to flash twrp. I'd suggest using adb/fastboot anyway since it's simple enough and a good thing to learn if you plan on doing this sort of thing. After that you can just flash from there. The ota zips, super su, etc. and wipe.

P3100 restarts itself, can't format factory, broken eMMC?

So, I flashed my p3100 with unofficial cyanogenmod 13. At first everything was working just fine and then I lent it to a friend then something funny happened. Now the tab can start just fine but it will restart itself after a minute or two. I've tried factory reset but nothing, everything remains the same. I tried formatting the storage in recovery mode but it's the same. I even tried flashing cmw recovery, currently it's on twrp, but it won't change. It's still on twrp. I tried flashing with stock rom using Odin but it always failed. I tried deleting some files... at first it seemed they were deleted but they were back again. It's like nothing can be done to the storage! Can you tell me what's wrong with my tab??? And possible solution? Thanks!

sounds like emmc. for more info read here http://andi34.github.io/faq.html
This is happening for me too. I'll use heimdall or something to flash twrp, it reports success but then rebooting into recovery has it still as stock.
It'll reboot after a minute or so, and any changes i made (uninstalling apps, removing widgts) get undone next reboot.
not working

When flashing stock rom with Odin, rebooting is stuck at boot logo

Hello, some days ago i found a Samsung Galaxy Ace Style (SM-G310HN/heatnfc3g) and i decided to mod it, i installed TWRP via Odin and all was ok, but when i tried to install CyanogenMod 12.1 it didn't work. Since it didn't work, i decided to flash stock ROM. It worked once, but now it doesn't work anymore. I suspect it's the PIT file, because when i reflashed stock ROM another time with a PIT file now it doesn't work anymore, let me try to explain:
When i try to flash anything (Stock ROM or recovery, custom or stock), it... doesn't, Odin says it flashed but when i reboot to recovery or reboot to stock, it stays at the Samsung logo or doesn't flash the recovery, even if it says that it flashed. What should i do? Is my phone bricked? How can i unbrick it if it's bricked?

Have you tried booting into stock recovery and selecting the factory reset option and the wipe cache partition option? It is sometimes necessary after flashing via Odin, I've had to do it a few times to solve a bootloop.

Well the problem is... i cant reboot into stock recovery. Its stuck in twrp, and it's not really a "bootloop", it stays stuck at the Samsung logo. I tried to wipe cache and dalvik on Twrp but nothing.
I cant even flash the stock recovery since as i said in the original post, if i try to flash EVERYTHING Odin says it flashed but on the phone nothing happened.
