Phone Won't Pass Boot - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I did the Camera Mod and it so far went well. I added the new XML file and restart my phone, than found out I had to turn the XLM file into rw-r-r, I did that and restart the phone again except this time I can't get past the boot screen.
I tried doing the factory reset on the phone, the option came up and it looked like it was going through the reset but it still won't pass the boot screen, So I turned to LG PC Suite, and tried the upgrade error but whenever I try to run it LG PC Suit crashes.
I have no idea what else to do.

Since you installed a MOD, I assume you have custom recovery, which one do you have?
Are you able to boot into recovery at all?
And you can always restore your phone to stock, there's a stickie somewhere out there.

I don't have a custom recovery. I can't boot into recovery and I can't restore the phone to stock.
Edit: Nevermind, I can try and restore to stock. I got into download mode.

Once you get back to stock, go ahead and install TWRP and do a backup. There is little value in doing any type of mods without a custom recovery installed-- you're just asking for trouble.

Yeah I'm definitely installing TWRP. I didn't realise replacing 1 XML file would cause my whole phone to mess up.

(Q) Bootloop unable to boot dowloading do not turn off target

I just tried to do an nandroid to a previous ROM, this has been done many times before via CWM. This time after reboot I got stuck in a bootloop as I pulled battery and manually tried to get into recovery with power/volume this time it went to odin mode and now says dowloading, do not turn off target.
I have powered down phone from ODIM mode. but now when trying to re-boot im stuck at samsung galaxy boot screen. I now have tried once or twice to manually get into recovery to see if sends me to CMW but phone resets back to the boot rather than bootloader.
I have tried to hold volume up and power to try and boot into recovery and all I get is the bootloop while holding the buttons, never gets routed to recovery. (I heard for ODIN you hold volume down and power)
Has anyone experienced this? I have never used ODIN so no sure where this is comming from.
I have tried to manually get into recovery and I get a samsung message that downloading a custom OS can be harmfull either I can proceed or re-boot. If I proceed (volume up) I get the "downloading do not run off traget" in ODIN mode if i do volume down I reboot but that back at the bootloop
If you cannot get into recovery you are probably going to have to flash through Odin. From the sound of it you never used odin before. I would flash back to the stock rooted rom and then reinstall clockwork mod. I will provide links. A file probably just got corrupt during the nand restore. Lets hope I can get ya back up and running.

Make sure you follow the steps exactly and do NOT pull out the cable during odin until it is complete or you WILL brick your phone!

Thanks guys, seemed to do the trick got my phone up and running just like it was. I just need to download CMW and ive done that when firdt rooted so shouldnt be a problem. You think if I use a backup from before (other than the one i used when i initaly had issues) will be a problem?
Thanks again
you should be good.

AT&T galaxy s3 softbricked

I was trying to install one of drewgarens touchwiz roms. touchwiz milestone 5 firefly i believe. not the most recent one because i was too lazy . boy was that a mistake. everything was going smoothly until it booted and it got stuck on boot. I thought no big deal just go into recovery and use a backup. until i did so and recovery was gone and there was only download mode. I have spent the whole afternoon trying to fix it and none of it has worked. I tried flashing the stock rom and it as well got stuck on boot. I looked at all the AT&t relevant ones and also the international versions. so all in all is there anyway to fix this and has anyone had the same issue? i was flashing from cyanogenmod 10 m1 to the drewgaren rom btw. I can also go to download mode. I tried to flash stock but it still gets stuck on boot. log. I flashed the ATT boot logo and it did not work. all of which were flashed through odin.
any thanks in advance is greatly appreciated.
I think you can flash back to stock with just download mode + odin

Unplug your device. Hold the power button to turn it off. Hold volume up, home, and power. It should go to recovery. If you do the same thing with volume down instead of up, you can get into download mode.

Follow the instructions and you should be able to flash the recovery and continue on with what you were doing. Remember to wipe really good when going from aosp back to any stock based ROM. They are completely different and will cause boot loops if you don't wipe.

K I made it home lol. I'll attach a Odin flashable cwm, it's an older one but it'll get you a recovery, I hope. I just tried it on my phone with Odin, 3.07 both with usb debugging enabled and disabled on my phone and it worked both times. Crap keep getting errors uploading right to xda servers, I'll drop box it in a minute.
Ok here we go Odin cwm--> https://dl.dropbox.com/u/28590257/Odin recovery/CWM-Recovery-LTE-SGS3-v4.tar.md5
Newest twrp --> https://dl.dropbox.com/u/28590257/Odin recovery/twrp2.3.1install.zip
I'll add the newest twrp for you lol. Flash the cwm with odin, should work and then the twrp is a zip you can flash in cwm.
Hope this helps get you a recovery.
Remember in Odin use only PDA and only have auto reboot checked.

This may sound like a stupid question but what boxes do i tick in odin?
After your hooked up and Odin is open under the options on the left side check only Auto Reboot. On the right under files check PDA and use that button to browse your computer and find the cwm you downloaded from my dropbox. Then just hit start on the bottom of the Odin window and let it finish, your phone should reboot when its done. It will get stuck again like you described in your first post but pull the battery, put it back in and boot into recovery using vol up,home and power buttons. That should (if everything flashed OK) put you into cwm 5.5.0.4. Once there wipe data/factory reset then restore the back up you mentioned in your original post, that should get you running again.

If something has happened to your backup then you could try the stock rooted stuff here , just pick the one for your carrier and follow the instructions. :highfive:

That's odd. Couple of stupid questions on my part just to make sure, you had the right button combo, and, you released the buttons soon as the splash screen came on? Can you still get into download mode? Oh and did you do the wipes while in recovery?

oh my gosh THANK YOU SOOOMUCH. I was worried i would have to take it to at&t ill be sure to press the thanks button.
I take it you got your phone working lol. Glad I could help a little. Little advice, anytime you switch to a different type of ROM (aosp to stock based or the other way around) make sure you wipe data/factory reset before flashing anything. It will save you problems in the long run.
Oh and could you go back and edit your original post and just add solved in brackets to the title for people in trouble looking for info.

Depending on which stock ROM you flashed with odin you should now have a recovery, if not then something isn't right. The full bone stock ROM should have the factory 3e recovery, and the root injected stock ROM should have some version of CWM recovery. A factory reset will most likely fix your boot loop, if there is no recovery flash the rooted stock ROM that matches your device from this guide.

I'm actually in the exact same situation. I was simply transferring music to my phone when it went into this boot loop. I've tried using ODIN to flash every possible ROM I've been able to find.
Desperately in need of help.
How exactly do I perform a "wipe"?
1. Can you guys get into Download and or Recovery mode?
2. If recovery is available, did you back up? If so, restore or flash back to original Rom.
3. If you can get into Download mode, flash back to a stock Rom, and start fresh.
Might sound obvious, just trying to help. I've learned that often I thought the phone was "done", but after refusing to give up on it, it came back to life...
Just keep trying , sounds recoverable for both.

You can wipe by getting into recovery. Wipe Data, cache, dalvik cache.
I can only get into download mode and I've tried to flash to stock ROM SEVERAL times now to no avail.
I've noticed that the binary counter isn't going up after each attempt though...

Need fix: Mobile Odin Modem Flash borked phone, now stuck. Offering bounty

So I have read flashed, read some more and I have gotten nowhere in 5 hours. Going to reach out here:
Situation: used Mobile Odin to flash the 4.4 modem from Fenny's 4.4.2 Stock ROM with MK2, (I'm a dumbass). Upon reboot I would get the SG4 logo then the blue mobile odin logo, then freeze. Was able to get into TW 2.7 but nothing would write, would say that it appeared that ROM wasn't rooted. Odin'd cf-auto, brought me back to stock recovery, odin'd TW 2.6.3.1 so now i'm back into custom. Went to go to one of my backups on my extSD, and it restored. Now I'm stuck at the SG4 logo. Attempted to flash firmware back to AMDL to start over..... nothing is happening. Still stuck on logo. Looking for any suggestions, $20 bounty for a fix

First off, please don't post the same question in multiple threads. The Help thread where you posted this was plenty.
Second, try this.
If you are able to get back into recovery, get back to the part where you had twrp 2.6.3.1.
Then restore your backed up rom like you said you already did. (You may still be at that point, but it's not clear if you overwrote that restore when you tried to use Odin.)
Once you are back at that point, wipe cache and dalvik from your restored rom. See if it boots then.

I would recommend downloading the official 4.2.2 tar file and flashing it via Odin from your computer. What bootloader are you on? With the device powered off, press and hold the volume down button, while holding the volume down button, press the power button to turn on your device. Once it vibrates, release the power button. It will prompt you to press volume up to enter download mode, or volume down to cancel and restart. Press volume up. If you do not have Knox use the 4.2.2 tar file and flash that. It seems like your partitions tables are screwed up. So flashing the official tar file will reset that. Afterwards, you will need to flash your custom recovery again through Odin. Then restoring your backups should work.

This is the tar file you will need. Flash this in Odin on your PC and let it do its thing. Then reboot back to download and flash your custom recovery. If you try to boot after flashing official tar, it won't boot. You will need to wipe data and the original factory recovery, if you wipe data using that, it will also wipe your internal sd card as well.

Grab a 4.3 kernel and reflash your kernel. If its stuck at the logo screen its more than likely a kernel issue, if stuck at boot animation, its a ROM issue.

after that it goes to a screen loop of cm logo spinning.
i couldn't find a solution online.

I get the same device unlock error when I boot up, but I believe that is normal when you have root.. Did the CM file flash successfully and which one did you use?
yes it said the flash was successful and still its stuck in a loop.
could it be the wrong cwm on freegee?

Can you still get to CWM? If so, try wiping cache and dalvik cache to begin with.. If that doesn't work, do you know how to push files from the computer to the phone through ADB? If you do, here is the link for correct recoveries for the F240L..

You could download and push one of those recoveries, reboot to recovery, then try to reflash CM11...if all else fails, you can return to stock with the LG Flash tools and start from scratch..

Do you know how to sideload? You can try to download and sideload another rom that is compatible with your device.. As long as you can get to recovery or download mode you still have hope...If your screen doesn't turn on at all, that's when you are hard bricked and out of luck

I didn't even think about this, but if it still recognizes your external SD card, you can download a rom onto your computer, copy it to the SD card, then install through CWM.

SD does nor seem to work
I do not know how to do that. Where is it recommended to learn?
You first have to have Android SDK found here:

This link explains what ADB is and how to use it:

I'm not familiar with the F240L as mine is the E980.. I don't want to give you any wrong information...
I did find this thread that looks similar to your problem:

That may be a start on how to fix it.. I know how frustrating it can be.. I have soft bricked mine once..
thanks! I read and tried pushing several files a few times and they either install successfully and i come back to cwm or are stuck trying to install the rom.
again, any ideas?

I'm out of ideas for you to try other than a complete stock restore and start over.. I would read ALOT before doing anything that may cause issues...
I found this thread on how to return to stock on your phone (looks like he gave really good instructions):

now I have a miui v5.5 that only has english and chieneese on it.
I dont really like it and would prefer anything that's stock google 4.4, though i think im to traumatized to go through anything like that again. I cant even install nova on it now.
