[Q] Stuck on "Performing factory data reset"

I removed the ICS build and use ODIN to return back to stock build.
Still having some problem so i did a data reset. It keep getting stuck there and i already done it three times.
Any suggestions?

So you flashed GB stock.tar through Odin? Do you mean factory/data reset in clockwork recovery? Flashing back to stock should take away your root so you would have to flash CWM again, make a nandroid backup, and flash superuser zip again.
What problems where you having before and after the ICS build?
Explain a bit further exactly what you did.

I installed STOCK Tar using ODIN.
It is booting up fine except i keep getting errors like "android.process.acore" has stopped unexpectedly. Most of the android apps is not working, like phone, contacts, calendars, etc.
I try to do a factory reset and it keep stopping halfway and hangs.

Your going to have to flash the kj2 modem. I had the same problem. I saw that the ucalc4 was still there, its on its own partition so it doesn't get changed when you flash stock tar. What I did...
1. Flash cwm in Odin
2. Boot into cwm (do backup)
3. Flash kj2 modem (I did it twice)
4. Reboot
5. Check baseband (should be uckj2)
This made the FC's go away. It seemed to me that the stock tar doesn't like that baseband, I can't explain why though. Didn't make sense to me but I fixed it. Also I found the ICS leak doesn't like stock recovery. Fyi

Little bit lost here.
I already flash it twice using ODIN and using the uckj2 build.

Build is one thing, baseband is different. When you flash stock your build will be uckj2, you say your on it. OK good. Now check your baseband, will probably still be the ICS baseband ucalc4, that is your modem. You need to flash the uckj2 modem in cwm. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20157930
Once you flash that your baseband will be uckj2. That should fix your fc's. Did for me. If not, you may need to try something else which I will explain if need be that will clean things up.

OK. What you need to do then is clean things up. There are two ways that I use but I prefer #1.
1. Flash darkside superwipe in cwm. Do a battery pull. Go into Odin and flash k0nanes tar.
OR
2. Flash stock recovery. Wipe data/factory reset. Do a battery pull. Go into Odin and flash k0nanes tar.
Then you can cwm, root, flash anything you want.

Thanks a lot hcyplr29 and Presbycusis.
I use darkside's flash and then reload stock.
Everything is fine now.

Glad to hear that. I swear by darkside between ROMS.

basically those fc's were becuz the partition table needs to be reset after flashing ics to go back to gb. Darkside does this.

[Q] download mode not working...

I tried searching, but the search is down?
I have spent several hours looking.
I used odin (phone went into download mode without issue) to put my phone back to stock so I could get the ota update.
Went back into download mode with Odin to install CWM, this "passed" and after a restart my phone went into samsung recovery, not CWM.
Now my phone will not go into download mode? I tried different cable, ports, etc.
any help?

so what is it doing since it's not going into download mode.

it wouldn't do anything, I finally reinstalled the drivers and after holding down the power and volume - let go... nothing! push the volume - twice and it went into download mode. Odin recognizes it and goes through the motion, but the phone has a AX_timeout in red at the top left corner of the screen?
Odin continues and say's passed, but when I try to reboot into CWM it hangs on the samsung logo.
It will not boot into recovery, but it will start the phone and everything seems to work.
im using odin 1.83 / windows 7 64bit.

Remove the battery, put the phone in download mode, put the battery back in, and flash CWM. Before you fully boot the OS, flash a custom kernel. If you don't flash a custom kernel, the default kernel will overwrite CWM with the default recovery.

If you happen to flash a ROM that doesn't include the script that the kernel calls for the overwrite, then you could have ended up with CWM on a stock kernel.

There's a script, can't remember where it's at, that is run at boot to replace the recovery. If that script is not there, it doesn't get replaced. All custom roms have it removed.

There is. You can download the Superuser CWM to your phone, flash CWM, boot immediately to CWM (don't let it boot normally), flash Superuser, and reboot.
At that point, if you desire, you can delete /system/etc/install-recovery.sh and reflash CWM if you want to keep it.

TWRP not flashing via Goo..

Tried to flash TWRP, its not flashing. Not paying attention, i tried to flash a rom, which errored and then now im stock with stock 4.1.2.
Reinstalled Goo, and it won't flash TWRP, nor will it boot in to recovery.
I'm going to try 2.7 via ADP. Anything i should be aware of, or should i be good to go?

That didn't work either. When i try to boot in to recovery, the phone just vibrates every few seconds and wont boot into recovery.
Getting worn out with this. Grr.

Idk if u done this but on goo manager I think u gotta change download path from LEGACY to 0. Then re-download and flash

When i hold down VOL+, home, pwr, i get the "BOOTING IN TO RECOVERY..", but then it goes black and just keeps vibrating every few seconds.
WTF.

Finally got in to recovery.. Release pwr button after first vibrate.. BUT, its not TWRP. it's stock recovery.

Strange TWRP problem, no OS detected etc. Boots fine to stock

I ran the causal root applet on a new SG3 on 4.1.2. Ran root, the unlock script and installed TWRP. Booted into recovery and I got the error for a locked bootloader. I used download mode to get back to the stock rom and then used E-Z unlock to unlock the bootloader. Was able to boot into recovery this time but TWRP read internal and external memory as 0mb, unable to make a backup, and gave a no OS error when went to reboot. I updated TWRP with TWRP manager but the problems are still persistent. Phone boots fine and reboots fine at the moment.
I'm not sure what to do now though. I'm at the point were I don't care if I get stuck with the OTA update but I'm afraid that will brick the phone. I'm not sure what went wrong with TWRP, since this is the second S3 I've rooted.
Any sugestions? I'm afraid to use odin or try anything else since the phone currently works fine. But I'd prefer to not have to sleep in fear it might force the OTA update while I'm asleep and wake up to a bricked phone.
I tried searching, the best I could find is that newer versions of TWRP can't read the memory on a 4.1.2 rom, but the problems were there when I originally started with the recommended version.
Thanks for any help anyone can give.

I'm really confused as to whats wrong. At this point I don't care if I get stuck with the OTA 4.3, but I don't want to try to update it with the recovery still not reading either my SD cards.
Any Ideas?

Are you sure of your phone model? I believe it puts it on the screen in download mode and also on a sticker under the battery. I'm mostly curious because you mention that this is a new phone with 4.1.2. Are you trying older versions of cwm as well?

I'm pretty sure, has all the verizon bloat and logos, also I'm pretty sure the causal applet bricks the international ones. I don't remember the version of twrp that the causal script flashed, but I tried that one, the most recent one, and 2.5 i think from EZ recovery. The stock recovery from EZ has the same issue now though which is what really confuses me. at the moment I have root dissabled and the bootloader is locked and its back with the stock recovery, it still says custom when i reboot the phone though.

[Q] Can't boot into AllianceRom 22

I was running Jellybeans 4.1.2 did a factory reset, flashed this 4.3 ML modem, rebooted into the recovery and flashed the Alliance zip. When I I try to start the phone it gets stuck loading the samsung screen and rebooting, I can still boot into recovery by holding the power, home, and volume up and already tried to reflash but I'm still having the same issue.
Should I try an older build or different setting when I set up the rom. The whole set up process works and it seems to install just fine until I try to actually boot the phone.

Yeah, I can't enter recovery I'll probably have to pull the battery which as I understand will likely brick the phone since I'm stuck 50% into the flash.

Ok try that and tell me what happens.

Yes. You can run any modem with any ROM. Apparently LTE data does not work correctly on the latest 4.3 base unless you have the ML1 modem, though.
I don't see why Alliance ROM isn't booting for you. Was it in an actual bootloop or just stuck on Samsung logo? I know that the first boot after flashing a 4.3 ROM takes extra long. Also a simple battery pull when it's stuck on Samsung logo sometimes works.
If it was in a boot loop you might have had a bad download. Try re-downloading the Alliance ROM zip and re-flashing!

Wait, how are you getting to recovery on an S3 Verizon 4.3?

I'm honestly not sure the difference between a bootloop and the samsung logo. The phone vibrates as part of the boot, Samsung logo comes up, vibrate, black screen and repeat.
I'll download the zip again and start over. Should I try the build 21 first for any reasons?

Try an sd card with written boot to it

I'm honestly not sure the difference between a bootloop and the samsung logo. The phone vibrates as part of the boot, Samsung logo comes up, vibrate, black screen and repeat.
I'll download the zip again and start over. Should I try the build 21 first for any reasons?

The build number does not matter. You should be able to flash anything. What you are describing is definitely a boot loop. I would try to re-download the build 22 zip. What recovery are you on?

Or try downloading a soft brick debricking software on your cpu

That's the latest recovery so you should be good. The only thing I can suggest is to re-download the zip and try again. Make sure you back up your data and factory reset before flashing (wipe data, cache, dalvik).
If that doesn't work you should be able to flash back to your old 4.1.2 build. Did you make a nandroid?
