My Galaxy SIII is dead.. 4 weeks ago It randomly went to the Splash screen about 5 minutes after me using it, for some unknown reason and hasnt worked since, the eBay app kept crashing a few days before and then i updated the app, the next day my phone broke?!?!..
Phone is about 4months old and the screen has a small crack at the bottom (did this a week after i got it and doesn't affect phone) i sent my phone off for repairs but o2 sent it back and said warranty is void because the screen is broke.. So they won't touch it.
I have no knowledge of flash and firmware however after doing a bit of research this last week i've downloaded Odin3 but no flash/firmware to go with!
The phone no longer powers on, it used to just go to the splash screen but freeze, now it wont even do that.
I can open download mode, but when i plug my phone into my laptop although it makes the connection sound, Kie's can't connect it will only attempt to connect (& fail) when it's in download mode too.. I've re-downloaded the samsung usb drivers, but no joy.
When i charge it, the battery loading symbol comes up but again it freezes at this?
I've tried recovery mode but it will only load the splash screen, then thats it, it freezes on that...
Any ideas? Does anyone know the o2 united kingdom flash firmware?

If you can get into download mode make sure to turn off kies, also check the task manager, as it does not play well with odin, or just uninstall kies as odin its better anyway. You can find all firmware on sammobile.com, give it a try.

Thanks for the reply..
I've tried looking on sammobile but no idea how to find the right software i'm looking for.. I don't know how to use the sight, when i've connected to Odin3, my phone is connecting to it (download mode only) so assuming it means i still have hope? I have made sure that kies is completely disconnected before hand as i've read about that before,

On sammobile.com go to firmware and there you got several filters that you can use to see for instance all UK o2 firmwares.

Thank you for reply.. I've downloaded the o2 firmware and flash and did it step by step via odin with someone talking me through it, but it failed.. The guy who helped me is a dev for verizon and he said that because that wasn't working, my phone is completely bust & i need a new one...

Hi team,
One of my friend was trying to upgrade his Ace to the new gingerbread firmware but the phone seems to have stopped working. He tried connecting to kies and upgrade. Once the download of firmware got downloaded the phone went to downloading mode and message firmware upgrade failed. Now the kies is not recognizing the phone and even the emergency recovery is not working.
When the phone is switched on the phone shows a computer and phone image with an excalmantion mark..Any idea what has happened? and how to get back the phone in working condition?
A quick response would be real helpful.

That poor phone is bricked by the heartlessness of Kies users .
Cannot withstand stuff if using just a MSM7227 with Adreno 200 using XDA App
ive had that screen before. unplug the battery from the device, hold vol down+home+on button like u would go into download mode. without releasing those three keys combination, insert the battery. now it should magically go into download mode. btw its hard to do this by urself, need someone to help u insert the battery while u hold the three button

Use Odin to flash the phone . Make sure Kies is totally closed (even the task manager process is killed) then flash the phone .

Hi,
I have tried to update my galaxy s2 with Kies but the update fails
Now when i turn on my phone it says "Firmware update encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in Kies & try again"
How can I replace the original firmware?
It was a Vodafone-it Firmware.
Thanks
check if u can go in Download mode keep pressing volume down + home + power after switching the phone off..

yes it goes in download mode but i don't know what i have to do after that becouse Kies tell me that it doesn't see the phone and askme a code for replace the firmware....
Your phone is perfectly fine so Don't panic. You have to use Odin to flash stock firmware. Ask some other member for help regarding Odin. As I have to go for some work. And specify your phone's model no. Must be on the sticker that is on your phone below the battery..

tell us your phone model
your OS version
and if you have any knowledge of Odin or Heimdall
hi, i have tried with odin and maybe i have selected a wrong files becouse it frozened...

You mean the screen keeps flickering?
When I turned on my i9300 galaxy III phone last week it prompt me for an upgrade. I installed it and as soon as it booted again, every single app started to issue warnings about stopping. The phone cycles through all of these pop up warnings over and over again and never reaches the home screen.
What I have tried:
Plugged it to PC open Kies - drivers were not installed correctly, Kies didnt connect.
Ran troubleshooting (unplugged phone b4) connected phone again Kies didnt connect.
Restarted the phone in d/l mode --> wipe data/factory reset, this time the drivers were installed correctly but Kies didnt connect again.
Unplugged phone open Odin and it didnt recognize the phone either.
Tried 2 different cables switched USB ports and nothing!!
PC recognizes the phone but it wont let me see content in windows explorer.
Please help me, thanx in advance. :crying:

seems you need to get on another Rom
why not try odin
or root and get CWM and flash a custom Rom

I cant root the phone or how do I install another ROM. Odin doesnt recognize the phone, I plug it in and nothing happens
so I have no options how to connect to the cell phone.

For ODIN to recognize the device you must first go into Download Mode and you need to shutdown the device first then do this hold home+vol down+then power button)
You don't need root to use ODIN though. If you want to revert to stock see the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646610 it's pretty straightforward anyway so i guess you won't do something unnecessary.
As you were upgrading legitimately, take it back to vendor or Samsung and get them to sort it

Yes I did that, I said that in my first post. I put the phone into d/l mode but Odin doesnt recognize the phone, that is my major issue here.
Neither Kies nor Odin recognizes the phone. PC installs drivers correctly and knows when its plugged in but thats about it

I just want to be clear on the state of the phone. Does it have any charge left? Can you access the download screen? If you can access the download screen you can just use Odin to flash your original ROM back.
(Hold power button and volume down button at the same time until the phone vibrates. Then let go of the power button but keep holding the volume down until the download screen pops up.)

Any luck? If so I just had a thought.
My phone the I717R (Rogers) in Canada can't use Samsung Kies to restore the phone.
However if your phone is the ATT version and it can enter download mode you should be able to use Samsung Kies to restore to factory settings.
You'll just need to enter firmware upgrade and initialization I'm pretty sure it's called. Then you'll type in the model and serial number found under the battery and Kies will do the rest.

Did you install Samsung KIES first? It should automatically install the driver you need.
Also when you put it in to download mode do it while the phone is unplugged, then plug the phone in.
Let us know what happens, sure we'll figure it out.

Try this link.
That's from the Samsung site for the I717 driver only. See if your computer picks up your phone after installing that.
If that doesn't work you may just want to use ODIN. I'll tell you everything you'd need to know to do that just don't have time ATM.
Have you tried another USB port and or cable?

that sucks, sorry to hear that. i would start fresh and uninstall the sammy drivers reboot the comp afterwards, reinstall drivers reboot once again, put the device into download with out firing up odin and see if that will help. I've noticed this device can be a bit finicky when it comes to drivers or maybe we are a few of the unlucky ones lol. I too have been having drivers issues lately regarding mtp and its been driving me nuts.
