I was playing around with some ROMs yesterday, since i was not happy with CM11 anymore. after installing a couple of diferent ROMs i decided to stick with slimkat. so i made a nandriod of slimkat and tried to go back to CM11 to get my apps all figured out for the switch. This is where the trouble started. when trying to restore CM11 I would get to "writing data" and at some point (always a diferent percentage) the phone would crash and reboot and get stuck in a boot loop. it would then do the same thing when trying to restore the slim ROM, always crashing before the restore finished. I always wiped data/sys/cache, i tried to fix permissions, install diferent version of twrp (2.6.x.x vs 2.8.6.0). I've since restored the phone back to factory and installed twrp again. I'm at my wits end as to what the problem could be. one thing that's odd is I get a splash screen before the twrp splash which still shows the little cyanogenmod guy at the bottom, even though there should be no remnants of CM on my s3 at this point.

I will be travelling and i wont have access to odin for a little while, so i'm less inclined to go breaking things till i get back home. I thought maybe someone here has run into this or knows how to fix this.

Thanks for the help
