am I briked or just stuck - Galaxy 3 General

hi, my first post here.
I just flashed my g3 with kyrillos ex V3.3 according to instruction including parting sd card, and everything was perfect. didnt get the chnce to thank for the rom (didn't get to use it for more than 5 min')
I tryed to folow a diferent tutorial that sould eneble fixing the text oriantation so I have Hebrew corect from right to left.
During the process, just after booting to recovery, I accidentaly pressed the update.zip option and the phone got stuck in the first "gt-i5800" screen and loops to the boot sound but the screen doen't chang.
I have recovery mode and download mode, I reflashed again, but the phone keeps getting stuck in the same place.
Help?

Try to reflash! Use samfirmware's JPF rom, do data and cache wipe with XXJPF in recovery mode. XXJPF rom helped me a lot. When recovery and downloading working, you don't have to panic!

Agreed. Try wiping data/cache, then flash an old firmware, then reflash Kyrillos'.
If recovery/download are working that means your boot partition is still in tact. Which means your phone isn't bricked

you are right!
good!
I got the phone back.
Reflashing.
thanks again

It was a Soft brick though no bad done!

[Q] Booting Problem

Hey Guys,
i have a problem with flashing custom recovery on my I9505(jfltexx).
When i flash "DBT-I9505XXUBMEA-20130601103235" via Odin and in addition the "CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505" my phone boots up, most of the time but not all the time. Now when i try to flash custom Recovery via Odin, my phone stucks at the Samsung Galaxy Logo and it wont continue. Even if i enter the standard recovery from Goomanager and i select "reboot system now" it stucks on the Logo!
Any Help?
Thanks in Advance

Yeah but thats the problem. I can't enter the recovery mode and when i try to flash a PRE-rooted rom from djembey my device stuck at the BootLogo.
In a nutshell: There is no option performing a wipe!

Ok now i get it as per what i see i can still get your device back to normal but myte take multiple try rest assured it will work
1st flash a stock firmware again (not rooted pure stock) this time using pit file along with firmware
and while flashing the firmware using odin and pit do check re-partition also
Note with out pit file do not check the re-partition box
and once the flashing is done device should boot if its not booting
go to stock recovery like how i told u earlier and do factory reset and wipe cache
and reboot
and tell me the status.. all the best

So let me get this clear. In Odin i should check the stock Rom in PIT instead of PDA? And check the Re-Partion box?

In Odin
PDA - u should select firmware stock one

Re- partition should be check follow the image and flash
If Re-Partition is checked u must have pit file also do not forget that else u myte brick ur device

Based on what you said, it seem like you still have all the partitions intact. Just that they are empty right now.
Did you do a full backup before all this problem happen? Or did you do a custom backup?
Are your backups stored in external memory and is a full backup? If so, try using custom recovery to restore your backup?

Chill. Your phone is definitely not bricked. I encountered your problem before when i was experimenting with something.
- Right now, boot to whatever recovery that you have. Try to wipe cache, dalvik, and any other partition if possible.
- After that, boot to download mode and try to flash STOCK rom using odin. Check that flash was success.
- Try to boot your phone and report here on what happens.
Edit: You might want to consider restarting your computer and changing usb port. "Faulty" Usb port will affect the flashing part.

Behave your speech smart guy, they are trying to help!
general rule on how to fix a bootloop:
1- Wipe data and cache. If not,
2- Restore a nandroid backup if available. If not,
3- Flash stock firmware, If not,
4- Flash stock firmware with pit file (you can try pit file alone).

[Q] Stuck on boot animation - RESOLVED / PLS DELETE

Hi guise.
I was going to flash a backup of a rom. So I booted the phone in to recovery (PhilZ latest) and formated everything. And managed to delete my backup. That's not the problem. Now when I flash a new rom, it gets stuck on the boot animation. I've tried 2 roms so far, and nothing works.
I've been waiting for 20 minutes now, and it's still stuck.
any ideas what the problem is?
Thanks
// S
RESOLVED
By flashing stock firmware, removing battery for a few minutes and formating cache in stock recovery.
PLEASE DELETE

Believe me, I've tried that a few times. I read a little about the problem, and it seems that I have to flash stock firmware to get some files back I managed to delete. that's why I need to download the stock firmware from hotfile. Thanks for the reply tho!

[Q] I9505 do not boot

I have a big problem with my new I9505.
Today I flashed new CWM 6.0.3.6 and 4.3 GE Jamal Rom. After I flashed some mods for testing.
Then I wanted to install a clean rom, I formated in CWM every point (system, data, cache, sdcard, dalvik and dont know what else).
After I flashed again 4.3, now it do not boot. Stuck at Google boot animation.
I thought it will be fixed if I flash the stock rom via Odin (only PDA with I9505XXUBMGA_I9505OXABMGA_I9505XXUBMGA_HOME.tar.md5).
But now I stuck at Samsung Boot animation.
It is possible to boot into Recovery and Download mode.
Whats happening?
I hope somebody can help me.
Big thanks.

Try to get into recovery and wipe both caches and reboot. If that doesn`t work also do a data factory reset. Don`t you have a nandroid backup to fall on back too?
My nand backup is corrupt :/

Just reflash the rom again with a full wipe and after the flash wipe both caches and reboot.
Okay I figure out my nand backup is not corrupt..
If I select backup in cwm it restore system but it cant mount data.
I think the mistake is here.. /data do not exist?

I would return to stock to get the phone running again. so:
1. Go to recovery and wipe the caches and do a data factory reset and format system.
2. Pull the battery and go into downloadmode
3. Flash a stock rom with Odin 3.04
4. Reboot, setup the phone and reroot.

I had exactly the same issue,except whilst i was reflashing my nandroid the phone shut down, formatted everything as one normally would using philz recovery, tried again and it failed.
Now i cannot even gain access to recovery it stays on "loading recovery" only option i suppose is to reflash stock via odin.

I've also experienced this on my gpe and it seems going back to stock is the best solution for doing the factory reset. I've tried doing the factory reset with both team win recovery and cwm.
Please help! I'm freaking out, thank you in advance!

[Q] Help, SoftBrick SM-G900H

Hello everyone.
It's my first time that I post here.
I had a problem today. My sm-900h, has a softbrick. It stays in Galaxy S5 screen, and nothing happens.
I can enter to the recovery and the downloading mode without any problem.
The recovery doesn't read my SD card, so I cannot intall a zip from my SD.
When it happened, I was trying to restore from factory, and I accidentally wipe for installing a new ROM.
Is there any way to recover it back? Maybe a way to put a .zip in the cellphone's storage.
Any ideas? Thanks.
