I just went form CM12 to  CM11 to try and see if some of the bugs that I was having would stop. I installed the CM11 OS and my phone and its now in a boot loop with no recovery mode. (power and volume up) Is there any way for me to get into it or wipe my phone? I need as much help as I can get!

Hey dude, press and hold volume up and the home button, then the power button until it vibrates. Then try to enter recovery mode with power and volume up.

I did many times. All it does is turn on normally with no type of attempt of trying to get into recovery. All it does is constantly reboot. Please don't tell me I ruined my phone

Are you able to get the phone completely off? Or is it soft-rebooting each time. I'd be tempted to say let it run out of juice. I'm not a Samsung guru unfortunately, rooted a few S4's recently and played around.

 

Really do need a recovery mode so you can get in with ODIN... :\

I believe it is in a soft reboot

Wait, can you describe the process in which you did this?

Galaxy S3 is the only thing I've ever managed to completely fuck up. Flashed an international ROM on my Verizon S3 (Didn't check which S3 XDA board I was on). Thing never booted again. No lights, no power led. Nothing. Gone. 

 

If you're now at least in a boot loop there is some way to fix it. I'd post to XDA Developers.
