stuck rebooting!

I'm kind of a noob with this but my Verizon GS3 is doing a boot loop and I have no idea how to fix it! Please help!

First off, are you able to throw ADB commands to the phone? (a lot of the time when I get stuck in a boot loop I can still throw ADB commands at it), if so, throw adb reboot recovery to reboot into the recovery.
If you can't, remove the battery to turn it off, pop the battery back in, then hold Volume Up, Home, and Power to boot into the recovery.
Once in the recovery do a full wipe.
If you are flashing a ROM it's always suggested to do a full wipe before flashing the ROM.
If wiping doesn't work then restore for a previous backup (I hope you did a backup before you did whatever you did since you weren't being detailed in what you were doing at the time).

Thanks for responding! All I was doing was backing it up through ROM Manager and after the backup it went into the boot loop. When I hold the power, home, and volume down button it goes into download mode so I can't even get into the recovery. Have you heard of this before?

Try doing Volume Down, Home, and Power instead (one does download and one recovery, I can't remember which since I do everything through adb and very rarely have to do it manually).

Well the good news is I can get into recovery. The bad news is every time I try and restore it goes back into the same boot loop for a few cycles then goes back into Clockworkmod recovery. I feel like I'm getting close here...

When I do reboot system now it says "error processing ROM Manager script. Please verify that you are performing the backup, restore, or ROM installation from ROM Manager v4.4.0.0 or higher."

Why not just flash a new rom to get rid of the boot loop? Or Odin back to stock n root all over again?

can you be more percifics ?

try re-install the rom
I just faced the same problem on my SGS2. Hold Volume Up + Home button + Power button to recovery mode (I guess SGS3 is the same as SGS2), then re-install the rom. If it is still not working, you may have to try another rom. To incase this problem happening, I always put two old rom and a new rom in my internal sd card, it's a lot safer, but they will use about 1GB in your phone.

Download a new ROM then flash it. Should fix your problem

I have the same problem only I can't go anywhere from the boot screen (android logo). No combination of buttons or battery removal chnges it. My PC won't see the usb connection. I could pull the sd card and write to it if that would do anything.

The damned phone is bricked how are you going to flash another rom or wipe data? I don't think its totally bricked but it will only show the dwonload screen, buttons and usb ports do not work at all so far.
New data: after leaving the battery out for ahwil I was able to get back to the odin entry screen. I pushed the volume up and went back to where I was... this is progress. Now sure where to go from here.
Fumbling worked! Hitting the down volume worked. I am back in the previous rom. I still would like to flask 4.2.2! Please advise and comment. Thanks!

On the galaxy s3 it's down volume, power and home, then down volume to get out of the odin emulator screen. BTW captcha for a site like this reminds of the sysops of 5 line bbs' out of their mother's basements that had elaborate member approval vetting. Self importance to the disease level.

This is the only thing i have found that fixes the hang for your device and that is to power on the pull out battery and power back on try that a few times here is a [COPY] of the only positive answer ive found=
My device got stuck in the start up screen. I couldn't turn it on or off either so I pulled the Battery out and tried starting it back up. I had to do this two times it didn't work the first time. the second it booted normally and I haven't had any issues since. or you can try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2459150 or my guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2426426

LG G2 Stuck on boot

So i installed custom recovery with auto rec and it was glitchty so i restored the phone with twrp. Upon reboot it told me if i wanted to install SU and i clicked yes so it began to reboot. now its stuck on the lg logo with the led flashing blue and green. when i try to get to download mode shows firmware update on the screen but stays on 0% .. it is not recognized by the computer however i hear the sound as if it registers but does no show up as a driver under my computer.. if i try to restart the phone it just brings the lg screen back up like a reset... i can get it completely off if I hold the power button even after the lg logo comes up

All the tech speak is greek to me can you tell how you fixed your phone? I didn't download anything to my phone, one day it just started rebooting itself and I've tried factory reset with no luck.

how did you flashed recovery with lg flash tool? suffering from same problem

Definitely had problems with accepting the root prompt.
Update you TWRP with the one the dude who made a flushable d800 mod radio made.
Then don't use the super su prompt in TWRP, and don't use 'fix permissions'either that broke me ROM once

On his website he has updated TWRP with temp limiting which good for avoiding permanent lines on lcd

Phone Stuck in Odin Mode (Help)

I tried flashing Recovery via Mobile Odin app, & now its stuck in every time I try to turn it on. I flashed philiz_touch_6.48.4-klte.zip.tar Someone please Help me to fix this Please. Can it be done from a computer? My phone's stuck saying Downloading Don't turn off!

This is what it says..

Please Help, I don't think its Hard Bricked.. Im Hoping its Fixable!

I had the same thing happen to me when I tried to flash a recovery using Mobile Odin. I am not sure what when wrong (Mobile Odin fault, or I flashed a bad recovery) but either way I was stuck exactly like you are. I recovered by downloading another recovery image and flashing from my PC using Odin. Once I did that the phone booted up normally and I did not lose anything.

I remember reading somewhere that mobile Odin has problems with recoveries. I have never used it but the guy above me us right, Odin on the pc should get you up and running.

First of all Thank you both... Secondly should I try to use a different Recovery version instead of the one I used?

That recovery is fine, just flash it with Odin on the pc and you should be good to go.

I have had to pull the battery while in download mode before, so if Odin doesn't recognize it you should be able to do a battery pull and reboot into download mode.

When I did mine it was always booting to that screen (that you pictured) when I tried to boot the phone. Once there I simply fired up Odin on my PC. The phone connected to Odin as soon as I plugged in the USB. I selected and flashed a good recovery. Once I did that I was able to reboot the phone normally.

Thanks guys, I'm gonna give it a try soon as I get my computer right.

something similar happened to me. I pulled the battery out for 5 minutes. Placed back restarted snd it was fine. I know crazy! !!

Samsung core plus G350 bricked on downloading mode

Hello guys!
This is a kind of newbie question. My daughter gave me its samsung galaxy core plus g350 because it was impossible to boot. It stayed on a picture of a grey battery. I try to fix it by flashing a new rom with odin. Stupidly, I do that from a laptop with an antivirus. Flashing stopped. And now, the grey battery is changed by the infamous yellow triangle and the message "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue..." . I've still access to the downloading menu. Then I've tried again from another desktop PC, many different rom, full rom, versions of odin, even a thing called cwm. Each flash, Odin says it is a success, but nothing changes. I've even tried Kies.
I've only the downloading mode and it is said on the first line :
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SM-G350
CURRENT BIN: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: custom.
My question is simple. What is the status of my phone? Hard or soft bricked? Is it a way out? For example, I've read that for hard bricked, changing the motherboard is a solution. But before that, I will be please to read your advice.
Thanks a lot for anybody who can help

if nothing is working... then gently remove ur battery and put ur device in sunlinght for about 1/2 hour then take ur device at room temperature and then put the battery and then press home button+power button+volume button and keep pressing them until u feel some vibration and keep pressing them for about 1-2 minutes.. it will drain all static charges.. then again try to install stock firmware from odin... if this method don't work then contact me again...

I've tried again, several time. In fact the little vibration doesn't occur. Odin keeps saying me "success" and the phone sticks on its error message. What can I try in this situation?
