[Completed] [Q] Strange Rom Manager/Clockwork Mod problems on Verizon Galaxy S3

I have a rooted Verizon Wireless Galaxy S3, for reference. So today I decided to attempt to install Cyanogenmod and searched for something to install it on my phone. I found Rom Manager on the Play Store and installed it, and went into it. I installed Clockworkmod and flashed it, and everything went reasonably well until I rebooted my phone. At this point, it automatically booted into Recovery Mode, or at least tried to. What it really did was display the screen with the Samsung logo and "RECOVERY BOOTING....." at the top in blue letters. Then, it shows a screen with a yellow warning triangle, which gave me the "System Software not authorized by Verizon Wireless has been found on your phone" message, saying "SECURE FAIL:KERNEL" at the top. Now, after a bit of searching, I had found that I should flash a factory image, so I connected my phone to my computer, and that's when the strange stuff began. First, my phone started vibrating approximately once every second for a short amount of time(about 0.1 second) and my computer wasn't detecting it. When I tried to turn my phone on, it just displayed the normal first boot screen and then nothing else happened, and it went back to a black screen.
I've looked all over the place, but I can't find anyone that has encountered my problems and I have no idea how to proceed.

Hi,
Rom Manager has been known to cause some bad issues, I don't recommend anyone use it.
That said, you'll need to ask for help in your device section, here...

[Completed] Disorted boot & recovery screen

Hey guys i have a somewhat serious issue here. About 3 months ago I performed a backup of my entire system on my SD Card but somehow it got erased. This is where things start to go bad. I tried to make another one but it rebooted and the boot screen became disorted. So I tried performing a factory reset. I was given the same screen. I tried to reboot to recovery manually and was given the same screen. So now iam unable to reset, backup, or change my rom. I hasn't bothered me until now. I have a Samsung Galaxy Exhibit SGH T599N. It is currently running cyanogenmod 5.1 but from a different developer. I think it's called Meticilous Devlopment or something closer to that. This actually started happening when I downloaded NikeRun and when i turned on the GPS thats when i got the disorted boot screen for the first time. Keep in mind that Iam still able to load it up, use it, make calls, search the web, etc. I just can't load it into my custom recovery which is TWRP. Please help! Thanks so much.

[Completed] Bricked Galaxy Trend Plus GT-S7580 issue

Hey guys, sorry if this is in the wrong place, I just want some help as I'm almost out of ideas.
So, the thing is that I have a rooted Galaxy Trend Plus GT-S7580 that was working perfectly up until 2 days ago, when it crashed while watching an ad in a game, and I had to take out the battery as the whole phone was frozen for a long time. After restarting the phone, I noticed a weird behaviour that no apps started up, no matter which one I tapped, and I could barely get into settings and so on either.
I tried restarting afterwards, but the phone couldn't even turn off, and just stayed on a grey screen, while both hardware buttons were light up. This state remained indefinitely, while the phone randomly vibrated at times for a second. I restarted and pulled the battery multiple times, but the apps were still not working and the same issue remained.
What I did afterwards was to try to factory reset and reset cache the phone from recovery mode, which was cwm recovery. Then as the phone was about to reboot, it got stuck on the Samsung Logo with the phone name, and couldn't move on from it. I tried reflashing ROMs and recovery modes since then, but it always stays on the boot screen. I can't even enter recovery mode anymore either, as it just keeps being stuck on the boot logo. I can enter download mode though, and Odin knows my phone is there, but for examples Samsung Kies can't connect to it.
I thought maybe flashing a ROM in Odin along with the additional files such as BL, AP, CP and CSC and PIT could help, but I'm not sure if I should do that yet, especially because I couldn't find all of those correct files for my region so far. So I'm asking for help here. Thank you if you have any useful insight to my issue!
Additional information: I successfully rooted the phone according to this guide a year ago: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2621087

[Completed] Phone won't boot!

I have been having problems with my phone for weeks, to the point where I thought I would need a new phone (and many people commented this same belief). I managed to find ways to work around the problems. But now, I have a serious problem that I did not foresee: my phone will not reboot, even after a factory reset and clearing the cache partition. It all started because I installed an app called "Boot Animations" by JRummy Apps Inc. on the Play Store. I wanted a new boot animation. I installed the animation I wanted, then granted the app root permission to change my boot animation. I checked "yes" to creating a backup of my original animation, thinking that would be my safety net in case anything went wrong...
I rebooted my phone to see my fancy new Nexus inspired boot animation, and all I get is a black screen...for an hour. I figured a factory reset would fix things, but it didn't. My phone is still stuck at the black screen. After a few minutes of black screen, it turns white, and stays like that. But it doesn't go any farther than that white screen. I'm not even getting a carrier logo.
I'm hesitant to say my phone is ruined, since that's what I, and several other people, said about my previous phone issues, but those problems ended up being fixable. I would like to think that there is also some work-around for this new issue. I have an Alcatel One Touch Sonic A851L, running android 4.1.2. It's rooted. There is no stock firmware available for me to re-flash (I have looked for it everywhere and asked my service provider for it, and they could not provide the firmware). When I plug my phone into my computer, it says "CD Drive (H: )Alcatel_USB_auto", and the folders are "autorun", "driverinstaller', and "setup". No file access.
Does anyone have any solutions or ideas?
