No, I couldn't reach recovery mode, but when I got into the warning message before download mode I clicked no and I went to recovery and wiped data, then the stock ROM worked perfectly. Thanks again

It was stuck at samsung screen, I forgot to wipe data between ROMs

this has happening to me before several times when I first started flashing. what I did was find a stock recovery tar. in the developmental section of this forum and boot into download mode and flash through odin or heimdall which ever you use...

Thanks, I downloaded UEBLG5 firmware somewhere else and flashed it, the problem was I just forgot to wipe data, so I went into recovery afterwards.

[Q] Bootloop after StockRom flashing

Heyo everyone
I'm coming from cm10.1 and now i wanted to go back to stock.
so I've downloaded I9105PXXAMC2 from samfirmware.com
unfortunately after flashing via odin i got bootloop
i've tried to wipe from android recovery but then there's only a red triangle

it's almost impossible for me to download another firmware because my internet speed sucks so massive

Install CWM with odin and wipe your data cache and dalvik cache from there then it will boot up fine

I think installing clockworkmod for wiping isn't an option. The op flashed stock Rom probably because he wants his warranty back
Installing clockworkmod again would void it again. If the stock Rom you downloaded is the one you had before rooting, then try flashing it again. If it's not, then download your originally out of box stock Rom and flash it with Odin.
Like...the same baseband version as the one you had before any modification of your system

You need to wipe it otherwise it won't boot up and if you had cm10.1 you must wipe your internal sd card to
if you install cyanogenmod and you odin back to stock rom the stock rom will simply not boot if no wipe was done!!!

I thought flashing through Odin already wipes..
So if I want to Odin back. With the clockworkmod, I first wipe, then flash stock. Right?

That's a question too... How to do wipe, if all I have is official bootloader, with debugging OFF, and loop / stuck on SUMSUNG logo?
(I don't care of any kind of warranty, just want to boot up this brick with ANY ROM!)

There are no my contry ROM. I stucked with bootloops and debug options OFF. What to do???! It's driving me crazy...

After almost two weeks of seeking for solutions all over internet, the problem was solved. First of all there are no way to root without debuging off via odin o any other tool. All what you have, is just to look for your original firmware of the phone, and it supposed to be four file package.
Looks like:
FULL_CSC_I9105PXXAMC2_I9105POXAAMC1_I9105PXXAMC1_DBT.tar.md5
FULL_MODEM_I9105PXXAMC2_I9105POXAAMC1_I9105PXXAMC1_DBT.tar.md5
FULL_PDA_I9105PXXAMC2_I9105POXAAMC1_I9105PXXAMC1_DBT.tar.md5
s2ve.pit
In this case it was german phone so files end with DBT.
CSC - as CSC
MODEM - as CP or PHONE
PDA - as AP or PDA
and pit file for re-partition.
The name of whole package is GT-I9105P-DBT-I9105PXXAMC2_Service-Firmware.zip
For those asking for delete dalvik/cache/factory reset, the solution is - RE-PARTITION!
I used also option Nand Erase All, just to be sure I delete everything.
All other operations goes as usual in Odin.
I can't post links here, bat me mercy on those looking for solution for days and weeks long.
So here is link that I found on some forum that leading to (thanx Goshhhh!!!) to Google docs, so download was just 5 min. long.
Here is German (DBT) package, and some other usefull links. Use G. translator to understand.

Soft brick after kernel flashing fail.

My phone has been soft bricked after trying to flash the latest dkp kernel. I was using philz touch recovery and I tried to flash dkp kernel 3-20 build, and I got an error during flashing saying that it couldn't decompress the ramdisk. So I tried to flash the older version of dkp that I was using, and it failed to flash! I have never had problems like this before. So now my phone will not boot to system or go back to recovery. I can only access download mode. I was using CM11 with the ML1 modem and dkp kernel before my phone got bricked. It really frustrates me that my phone just randomly decided to freak out and brick itself, because I've been doing the same thing forever and never had any problems flashing a kernel. Please tell me how I can fix my phone. Thank you.

I did an ODIN back to stock MF1. In ODIN it says "Pass!" above the com port, and it also says <OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 1 / failed 0). However, my phone has been stuck on the 4G LTE screen with the colorful rings for around 15 minutes and it doesn't seem to be doing anything. What should I do?

Pull battery out and reboot.. Thats mentioned on instructions.

Well when I pulled the battery and tried to reboot a samsung logo with an unlocked symbol was underneath it and it still gets stuck on the 4g LTE screen. Also, it won't allow me to enter the recovery.
So I went back to download mode on my screen and i noticed that it still says "System Status: Custom"

You have to be able to boot into recovery, make sure you hold the volume up + home for an extended period of time.
If you can't, you need to Odin the stock rom and try again.

Don't know what else to tell you, it's a completely stock file.
Recovery, system, kernel, and bootloader.
If you can't boot into recovery it must've not flashed perfectly or something else is wrong, like your hardware.

I highly doubt that it is a hardware issue. I just tried to ODIN again and I'm in the same situation. One thing that I have noticed is that it tries to reinstall the MTP driver after using ODIN and it fails to install.
EDIT: Nevermind. I was able to enter recovery this time. I just did a factory reset. Hopefully it boots now. I will report back with results.
UPDATE: Ok. Everything seems fine now. Used casual to root and unlock bootloader again. Then installed PhilZ Touch Recovery. Now I am making a backup, and I am going to flash a Kit Kat Rom.

[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.

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

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?

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?

Are you trying to downgrade to an older firmware? If so, your bootloader is probably blocking the downgrade, most Samsung devices can't be downgraded.
If you are trying to flash TWRP, your bootloader is probably locked.
There is no solution to either of these.
