So long story short I attempted to update my GS3 to the official ota 4.4.2 and it installed 100% but now will not boot past the AT&T logo. It revolves about three times then freezes. I am still able to get into recovery/download mode and I was wondering how I can either get it to fully boot or install some other rom? Pretty noobish at this have only rooted twice and installed CM via the installer. Any help would be appreciated!

You might have to try with Kies if you wanna keep the official.

I'm not sure if there is a flashable zip of 4.4.4 yet.

Kies was the first thing I went to but unfortunately when I put in my s/n it says its not correct and to keep trying :/ Don't really care if its official or not just want to get it in a working state lol

Thanks but im not 100% sure what to do. Can I flash cwm via odin then flash the rom? Because my gs3 is recognized by my computer but im not able to access it like a hard drive to drag the files in.

Edit: If I had an external sd card could I load cwm and say cm11 from there?

Yep, you could use an external SD to flash CM. You'll have to flash cwm or twrp with Odin if you don't already have it.
