[Q] Samsung Galaxy S3 will not turn on - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
My S3 is stuck on the initial screen that says Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-19300. It has been like that since I got up. If I press the on/off button nothing happens. If I press it for a long time it the screen goes of for about a second then the same screen appears. I tried taking the a battery out put it back in switched on and the same screen appears. When I connect the phone to my laptop my laptop does not recognise the phone.
Please help

Did you flash a rom from this forum? If so, your bricked.. This is the US version on Sprint (SPH-L710) Yours is the international version which can be found on this section here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1563.
We get a few I9300 people in here and seems to be more often then not. Anything in here that is flashed my render your phone nothing more then a paperweight. Check the forums before flashing anything. (incase you did) Thank you and have a nice day.

Moved to I9300

Now that you have already flashed the wrong firmware.. Try the following..
If you have CWM... Flash any intended for your device.. Wipe data factory reset.. Try booting
If that is not working then..
Download the stock firmware.. Flash it using Odin.. Boot into recovery and do a factory reset... Then see if your device boots..

Stock ROM location?

Where can i find the stock rom for international GS-III? Honestly I have no idea where to find it. People say "download stock firmware" but they never put where it can be located. We need a firmware bible of some sort. Thanks if someone can help me out!

its a known bootloop from litenning mate. what u have to do is go to litenning topic and find solution. i believe the way to sort this is download niphetamine kernel 2.0.5 and do this.
1.flash liten 5 through odin
2.factory resset
3.flash litenning again
4.on the top flash nip kernel.
it should work
i think it was stated here before. correct me if i am wrong
To factory reset boot into recovery, by turning the phone off, then press and hold volume up, home, then hit power
Select wipe cache and data, you will lose all your data.

Install a kernel with CWM and do a factory reset from there

I installed a stock xxki3 and still I can not fix the problem...

Can you post your device info.
Eg: I9100 international version
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Yep, you're truly unique
Why not start with telling us your exact product and what happens when trying to get into both recovery and download modes.
my device is I9100 middle east version
it says when i remove the battery MODEL: GT-I9100G
problem description:
I turned on the device as soon as i bought it and it said 2.3.4
so I downloaded everything needed to root it and i started odien and everything went well....except for the fact that my galaxy got stuck with galaxy s logo screen and big yellow triangle at the bottom....and nothing else happen.... it says like this for hours and hours....
so i tried to go inot recovery mode...but nothing happens after doing the volume up+power+home ...still takes me to the previous screen with yellow triangle
tried download mode and it works fine....

You need to download files to use for your specific phone and try again. You said you have a GT-I9100G, right? Well, where did you get the files you used to root?
You also said in the title of this post that you installed XXKI3. Well, installing XXKI3 and rooting are not the same thing. Which did you do? Root using an insecure kernel? Or install an XXKI3 firmware?
I'm going to go ahead and guess that you tried to flash a firmware intended for the regular GT-I9100, and not the GT-I9100G. These two phones have different hardware, so firmwares are NOT compatible.
Amirite?
first I tried to root it using insecure kernel...when it got stuck with galaxy s 2 logo screen with yellow triangle.... I searched all over the net for a solution and one of the solutions was is to flash xxki3 ....and I did that.... but it always fail.... I also tried to flash litening rom... but at the end...it fails at MODEM stage i believe....
Now all i want is to get my phone working....I dont wanna root it anymore....
please guys please help me
Stop flashing it.
You are doing more damage.
You have the 9100G, but you're flashing 9100 stuff
I am not flashing it anymore.... but I need a solution.... I want to know how can I get it back up and running
please help me

When you get the error, does it say failed red color? Of course not.
Tell us excactly the error you are getting! If you want our help give us all the information that you have.
What error message did you get? What are the steps you took?

[Q] hang on a boot screen... same in recovery mode

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to search my problem around but cannot find any thread about this, sorry if I missed out something.
I'm using GT-I9100 for a year now, I was using custom rom Hydra-H2o. Today, I updated rom to version 1.4.1... the process was fine. When I booted up, set things done, I found the contact information was really really wrong, it kept updating wrong photos to wrong contacts.
So I decided to factory restore in the setting menu. The phone was rebooted and struct in the boot screen that has its name "Samsung Galaxy SII GT-I9100" and an ordinary yellow triangle.
Even charging my phone, a battery icon is loading and nothing appear to show me how much juice I have.
I tried to boot to recovery mode, still the same as normal boot. The only boot that is working is download mode.
Please help me, this phone is my buddy
Thanks
Ok you can get download mode, get a stock Rom, flash using Odin
If it boot loops, go to recovery and wipe data cache.
Should fix your problem
I will try
Thanks for now
Fixed! Thank you so so much!
lol, this is the first "i am bricked help!!!" thread that has a happy ending
gotta update my signature btw, i have an i9100

First of all wrong section.. there is another section for the Ace plus, but as you already have posted i shall tell u what to do.
Remove your phone's battery. After removing your battery hold the button combination for download mode and then put put your battery back into the phone this should make your phone boot in download mode. After it is in download mode, using Odin flash one of the stock firmwares into your phone.
Press thanks if I helped.
