[Q] S3 stuck at Samsung logo after Odin

I'm in a serious trouble please please help
So I had cm 11 on my s3 first then I decided to go back to stock and installed 4.3 official s3 firmware using Odin.
Then my phone restarted and was stuck at the Samsung logo
I checked for a solution online and found that I should wipe cache and data and here is where the problem is
When I hold down volume up or down with home and power button it only opens download mode and I cannot wipe cache and am terribly stuck....
PLEASE HELP! Thanks in advance
I'm stuck

The 3 button combination in order to start the phone in Recovery Mode (where wipe options are) should be volume UP + home + power.
Avoid the volume DOWN combination because that is for Download Mode.
Try start in Recovery Mode several times because sometimes the proper combination timing is not detected.
If really the phone can't start in Recovery Mode, you should flash the official firmware again via Odin, following the procedure with caution. An important, sometimes overrated action related to flashing via PC is that any antivirus (firewall mainly) must be turned off before the flashing procedure, in order to avoid (invisible) conflicts when transfering data through USB ports.

First of all the boot up loop is caused because you have not wiped the cache and dalvik cache (may be).
Since the recovery is not booting means, there is some error with flashing.
What you can do right now is to flash the Original Stock Rom using Odin, the original stock OS itself contains the recovery partition.

Nope! To get into recovery mode (at least for the BLU Advance 4.0L A010U) you do the following:
1. Press (and keep holding) the Volume button in the middle so that both UP and DOWN are simultaneously pressed
2. Press (and keep holding) the Power button until you see on the screen two white lines saying:
Recovery Mode: Volume Up
Factory Mode: Volume Down
3. Press Volume UP once (do not hold). The intro logo "BLU Bold like us" will show up for a few seconds. Then you will see a black screen with a dead android, its belly open, a red exclamation mark and a line of white letters below saying:
No command
4. Press once the power button.
You are now in system recovery mode: Use Volume Up/Volume Down to select what you want to do and use the menu button on the lower-left to enter that command.

I need NVRAM file for my BLU Advance L A010. I now have invalid IMEI and I think it's because the phone was formatted but they never reflashed the entire ROM, just system, recovery, boot etc. So phone boots up fine but no nvram is present. If I could get nvram file for this phone, I can update the IMEI using MTK Engineering.
Can anyone help? Or does anyone know where I can get the complete stock ROM for this device. Most stock BLU ROMs posted online only provide the basic images needed to recover the device.

Problem while rooting

I tried rooting my brand new Mate 9. I unlocked the bootloader, but the wipe that followed failed for some reason. In the eRecovery there's no option to Wipe Data / Factory Reset and when I try to log in at the start screen, the keyboard is not showing up, so I can't even log in. Tried wiping through ADB, but it doesn't even see the device. Any other way to wipe it, so I can proceed with installing TWRP and rooting this sucker. Thanks in advance!

You can boot to fastboot and flash twrp.
While the usb plugged in,hold volume down and power, when the phone vibrate remove power button and keep pressing volume down.
For stock recovery, remove the usb,hold volume up and power and when you see the logo, remove power and keep pressing volume up.
You can copy a keyboard apk on ur sd card and install when you are in the system,just skip the log in screens.

Thanks! I managed to install TWRP and boot to it to do a factory reset, thinking that it will resolve my login issue. Now I'm stuck in bootloop.
And if I try to boot into TWRP again by pressing Volume Up + Volume Down + Power it boots me into eRecovery that wants to perform an update, which after 5% fails saying: The update package does not exist.
So I can't even get back to TWRP nor the system.
Any advice to resolve this?

well to boot into recovery just use vol up+power and release once u see the huawei logo.btw when your factory reset fail during unlocking BL you can manually boot into the system and reset thru settings again.

Never do factory reset via twrp. It does not support huawei's data partition.
To avoid bootloop, just flash stock recovery and do factory reset with it. You need flash additional stock zips to restore additional apps and themes.

I had exactly the same problem as you. After rooting and start wipe, the factory reset seems had not finished well and the phone booted to lock screen with password field, but without keyboard...
Only procure that worked for me was rebranding the phone and installing another full room using Funky Huawei. Yes I know it is a paid service but I believe you will be happy to know it can help you.
Good luck

Can't get into Download mode

Doesn't matter what i do, if i press vol down + home + shutdown, i get the screen where it says that i'm going to install a custom OS and i have to press vol up to continue to access to the Download mode or Vol down to restart, well, seems my S6 gets frozen in that screen and i cant access to that download mode, i can access to the recovery, but odin never recognize my device when is in recovery, only when is turned on. So i can't install anything since i can't enter to download mode.

Assuming everything is stock, stock recovery and stock rom, have you tried booting into recovery and performing a factory reset? If you're able to boot into the operating system you may want to enable USB debugging in Developer Options first.
