I hope someone can help with this problem im having, will really appreciate the help. I bought a GS3 At&t stock and unlock. since it had all at&t blootware i proceed to root it. I'm using this phone with gosmart sim card, so i decided to wait before installing any rom until few weeks ago. at first i tried CM10.1 but for some reason i couldnt and it gave me message 7 so i went to aokp and everything went just fine. about a week later i started having problems with the internet, sometimes it just disconnect and wouldnt connect at all even with a reboot. so i decided to go back to stock, i found this thread online http://www.androidauthority.com/gala...-kernel-99790/ and installed the tar but the screen got locked up on the samsung logo. after that i found this thread and install this tar but nothing, still hangs on the samsung logo. i wait for about 10 minutes or so but still on the same screen. so far i have installed this tar about 20 times and using 3.04 and 3.07 odin and nothing. I can get to CWM without a problem, and actually wiped down and tried to install the tar but still nothing. Can someone help try to fix this? thank you very much!!

You are trying to fix it by flashing a Stock Kernel but if the problem is deeper than that then it wont help much.

What you need to do is flash a full stock samsung image via Odin. Download http://hotfile.com/dl/182224582/7adb...qgqoh.zip.html unzip it so you get a .tar.md5 file and flash that image as a PDA in Odin with your phone in download mode.

You may have to boot into stock recovery after and perform a wipe data if you get stuck in the boot screen after flashing but it should fix any problems you are having.

You are awesome!!!! thank you very very very very much!! the phone is now alive!! i wonder what could have gone wrong. With this tar i guess i lost root also, right?

Yes you will lose root after flashing a stock image but its easy enough to reroot. Glad everything is working again.

THANK YOU! I was stuck all evening at that point. I could flash LK3 with Odin but it would always hang interminably during boot. It hadn't occurred to me until I read your post that wiping the data partition could help.

Thanks for your information! Saved my phone after ROM Manager somehow corrupted my phone during recovery update flash.

That's what I did

It will flash a stock boot image back to your device.

1. Extract Odin files to a folder from the attachment.

How to get into Download Mode (For Odin)
1. Unplug the USB cable.
2. Shut down the phone.
3. Hold down the 'HOME' + 'VOLUME DOWN' buttons and press the 'POWER' button for about 2 seconds until a WARNING! Screen appears. Press the 'VOLUME UP' button to enter Download Mode.

2. Tick 'Auto Reboot' and 'F. Reset Time' in Odin and nothing else.

3. Download the boot image and load into Odin as a PDA.

4. Click on Start to flash the image.

DO NOT UNZIP THE BOOT TAR FILE, FLASH IT AS IT IS.

Thanks But Your Download (Mediafire) Dont Work It's Been Deleted...

Well, dang... I've tried everything I can think of and am stuck. If any of you have suggestions, I'll be forever in your debt.

So I was trying out a few ROMS on my I747. The last working one I had was LiquidSmooth Android (v2.1 I believe) but it was rebooting on me more often than I'd like, so I tried booting into TWRP to restore my last Nandroid of the rooted stock ROM I had been running fine. I know that Nandroid backup was a good one because I have restored it before. So anyway, I boot into TWRP and suddenly TWRP asks me for a password, which it has never done before. It almost looked like TWRP thought my device was encrypted, which it wasn't. But then when I hit "cancel" and tried to use the TWRP Factory Reset wipe, all of the attempts to mount the partitions failed! So I decided to let TWRP reboot the device, thinking something weird was going on with TWRP that would be fixed the next time I loaded it (DOH!) and I've been hosed ever since.

I am in a stange position with my I747 now. The OS won't boot at all. It forces the phone to try to boot into recovery, which is the latest TWRP. Unfortunately that just hangs at the "teamwin" screen and never goes on. First thing I decided to try was to flash a fresh TWRP thinking my TWRP had gotten mucked up. When got the latest TWRP tar from your Toolkit "recovery" folder (I am a donator from a day or two ago) it looked like it successfully flashed the TWRP to the phone, although I'm a bit worried maybe I don't understand Odin's output. Here is what it shows when I flash the TWRP:

------

<ID:0/007> Removed!!
<ID:0/007> Remain Port ....  0 
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 1 / failed 0)

------

The phone reboots like the re-write of TWRP was successful, but then it just hangs at the "teamwin" screen again. So then I thought I'd try flashing CWM instead.. The output from ODIN looks basically the same, but when I reboot into recovery I again am stuck at the "teamwin" screen from TWRP! WTH?

Why am I still seeing the "teamwin" screen if I just flashed CWM and Odin says it succeeded? I'm guessing it has something to do with the "RQT CLOSE !!" line in the log above. Is that actually a failure message that I thought was a success message? It isn't real clear..

So then my last fall back was just to flash the whole stock ROM again. Sadly, that didn't seem to work either. It actually gives me a WRITE (Fail!) message. Here is the output of Odin when trying to write the stock ROM to the phone in Download mode. I'm trying to flash the files called "I747UCDLK3_I747ATTDLK3_I747UCDLK3_HOME.tar.md 5".

As you can see, the MD5 checks passed with no problems, but the actual writing of the code to the NAND fails immediately. At this point I have no idea what to try next.

And for the record, I also tried flashing back the original boot image from your Toolkit called "boot-stock-dlk3-SGHI747.tar". Here is what I get when I try to flash that with Odin.

Any suggestions anyone might have for what to do next would be most appreciated. Sadly, this is my only phone, and my employer pays for it. I need to get it up and running as soon as I can, if it is possible. Probably shouldn't have been messing with it in the first place, but I'm a tinkerer at heart.. What can I say?

Thanks for taking the time to read this and thanks for any tips any of you can share!!
