[Q] Samsung Galaxy 3 stuck at "SAMSUNG" logo

Hello.
After installing NDrive, I rebooted the phone by shutting it down and powering it on.
Now the phone is stuck at the SAMSUNG logo boot-screen.
Before that, I installed root and also flashed it to version I5800XXJPB.
Root and flash worked fine (there was some lag though).
I tried reflashing the same firmware version but it still stucks at SAMSUNG logo
Edit: I forgot to mention I also did a Factory Reset, Wipe Cache but still nothing.
What should I do to get past the samsung logo?

reflash your phone with the firmware of your choice

I ran into same problem reflashed with I5800XXJPF
problem solved

In fact, the real answer is: You should flash a firmware with datafs.rfs on it .

i337M google edition

Just flashed

to Canadian I337M.
wiped cache
I get the samsung galaxy s4 logo, then the spinning 4 color google logo, and thats it, it's stuck on that spinning logo, tried reflashing a few times.
ideas?

You may have to wipe data/factory reset to continue.

after doing what you suggested the galaxy s4 logo shows for a few seconds then powers off, and repeats.
i am now unable to load recovery as the phone shuts off too quickly
download mode works fine, and i tried going back to stock, but it still won't boot
is this a strange kind of brick mode?

Try flashing a Canadian kernel

I had the same thing. I would recommend using odin to go back to bare bones stock, then go through the procedure. I'm fortunate that i have like 4 i377m's on my desk at the moment, so i took a new one out of the box, used odin to flash a custom recovery, booted into the phone, transferred the zip file, rebooted into the recovery, flashed, and booted.
it booted, but everything was crashing, i did a full wipe, and now i have a sweet google phone.
Now that i've moved phones, I'll odin to stock my problem phone and put it back in the box.
The only other odd thing i tried was to use the "golden backup" to unlock my phone (failed), wondering if that might have had something to do with it?

Most of these cases have a damage power button. You should replace it.

Why do you even give him this advice? It will do absolutly nothing that will help him.
If his device even reboots in download mode, then doing a factory reset will be completely useless.

[HELP!] After E5 bootloops and left it for a day, it won't turn on!

My device is E500H, it turned bootloop. But then, I am confident because I know how to fix it so I download the firmware to fix it throught ODIN. But when I try to fix it and switch to download mode, IT WONT SWITCH (After I left it for almost 24 hrs). I thought it's BATTERY IS LOW. So I charged it for an hour, and after it I check it again but there still no response. -_- WHAT HAPPENED? How can I fix this? This is my first time to encounter this and first time to post here because really need urgent help.

Solved
Since its a bootloop try draining the battery fully. Then connect your charger. Immediately before the boot logo apears hold the three buttom combo for recovery mode. Wipe data and cache and then reboot. Hope I helped

False alarm, yea you are right. It was drained. Haha. Though, after I flashed the firmware the bootloops still persist. -_- Tried many times flashing via Odin but when it reboots, the problem is still there.

You have to factory reset via recovery.

Remove cache from recovery.

When it stuck on the animation then press volume down+power+home button together for some time , it will again go into download mode , then flash previous rom which you were using earlier ,After flashing previous rom factory reset then wipe data /cashe . Now again flash rom which you want to install.

I experienced the same problem in my galaxy E7. I had 87% charge when i flashed the new update and it stuck in a bootloop.
Drained the battery. Connected charger and went to recovery before it started. Cleared cache and did factory reset. Started normally after that.

Tried to put STOCK back on and getting network bootloop

So my phone has been acting up the last few days, randomly freezing and unresponsive, so I decided to take cyanogemod off of it and go back to stock ROM.
So I have now flashed it twice to see if I could fix it but it keeps booting up showing my network logo, then gets to the initial screen and then goes back to the boot loop, any idea how to fix this?
I got the ROM from SAM mobile for my device and network.

Go to Recovery then wipe cache and data/factory reset
