Samsung Galaxy S3 won't start, stuck on samsung logo

[Emilmoller94]

Hello! I have an samsung galaxy s3. I rooted it and everything went smooth, but when I tried with a font installer to install a new font my phone is stuck on the samsung logo when I starting it. I have tried most of the guides to do a factory reset and I tried in recovery mode to delete cashes and wipe all data, but without results. plz help me!

I think that there was another thread about this, returning to stock was the only way to fix it

I have exactly the same issue, caused by the same app.
Did you manage to resolve the startup issue?

Re: Samsung galaxy s3 wont start, stuck on samsung logo

Could someone please assist.
My rooted Galaxy S3 phone (FW v4.1.2) is stuck at the startup screen after installing a font app from the app store
To resolve I have tried:
1. The recovery screen - doing a factory reset and reboot
2.. Reflash through ODIN.
I can get get the phone into download mode but ODIN will not recognize the phone in Download mode (Funny it does when phone is recognised at the stuck startup screen)
I have unistalled and reinstalled KIES and am using the stock USB cable

Does anyone have ideas?

If u know the app causin problems, go into safety mode (cant remember but i thnk its Power On while tap-tapping Menu but dont quote me.)
Once in safety, it says safety mode att bottom of screen n no apps are active so u can uninstall the dodgy app

Go into the recovery mode....
Wipe the Dalvic Cache (advance options)
Wipe cache partition
Wipe data


Then reflash your ROM

Thanks man.

I was frozen on the Loading screen (samsung logo) and couldn't do anything else.

Tried cleaning up the cache with no results.

Then I had finally tried the factory reset settings and everything is fine now. Glad it wasn't the phone's motherboard that had the problem.

Thanks man,.

Re: Samsung galaxy s3 wont start, stuck on samsung logo

I have this exact problem......not sure if I have downloaded something but when I switch my phone on it wont go past the screen where it says " Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-19300 " in white text on a black background.

It just sits on that and wont move on so I can not fiddle with the settings or anything. I did keep getting a message about Google Play store not working last night and it had been a bit slow for a few days.

Could someone please tell me how to get into the " Recovery Mode " or " Safety Mode " as I just cant seem to do anything with at the moment.

Cheers,

Simon.

Re: Samsung galaxy s3 wont start, stuck on samsung logo

I've been having the same issue. I haven't done anything to the phone. I've dropped it maybe twice and it was from barley a foot. I've been real careful since i just had my last phone replaced. recently my phone has shut itself off but I was always able to get it to turn back on after but last night it shut itself off and I haven't been able to get it past the Samsung galaxy s3 logo. I've been looking online on and off today and I noticed some people have said it's the power button and if you take the battery out and bang the side of the phone with the power button on a hard surface it'll help but I haven't been able to bring myself to hit hard at all in fear of breaking it.

Re: Samsung galaxy s3 wont start, stuck on samsung logo

have you tried holding the volume up+ home button+ the power (in that order) until after the vibration of it coming on? that should have brought you to a safe mode allowing you to chose between reboot, apply updates, and\ or a factory reset. if you were going to root your phone than you would change the volume button down. this runs the downloader mode on.

Re: Samsung galaxy s3 wont start, stuck on samsung logo

Ok guys this is how to fix problems:
1. Factory reset through recovery mode (this will wipe all your data)
-Turn phone off
-press and hold volume up, home, and power buttons until samsung screen (where it says phone model)
-choose factory reset (this will wipe all data)
-phone should reboot fine

2. You can also use odin to reflash the rom. There are tons of tutorials on the internet.
