SG S3 won't boot - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Guys
I flashed a ROM from Spain using Odin (I9300XXDLIH, 4.2.1 from Samfirmware) into my S3 (GT-I9300 bought in Brazil) and it works by 1 month. Then my phone starts to crash or boot by itself and finally it stop boot into Samsung screen.
I have access to Download screen, but I have NO access to recovery screen.
Now, I tried to flash a new ROM and Odin says that it has no partition. The phone doesn’t charge anymore (I need to charge using a friend’s phone).
I tried flash an old version (4.0.4) but every time I get “no PIT partition” from Odin. I also tried to flash from different version of Odin and same results.
Is there any way to solve this without getting a Service Center? Here in Brazil is difficult to find JTAG service, so I need some home solution.
Thanks and sorry for my English.

Hi, mines went exactly the same as that last week, tried everything possible software wise. sent it to samsungs ext service centre in scotland. i still dont know fr sure if there goni fix it under warranty as in download mode it says official Rom but it also says custom system. Theyve had it since last tuesday and on the repair status it still says "Acknowledge(ASC)"
heres hoping, and i hope u get urs sorted

Hi spamtrash,
As I can understand, that thread is to prevent. Now I need to recovery.
I just tried to flash a new ROM again, and I get the following:
<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..
<OSM> Please wait..
<OSM> I9300UBDLJ1_I9300UBDLI2_I9300ZTODLJ2_HOME.tar.md5 is valid.
<OSM> Checking MD5 finished Sucessfully..
<OSM> Leave CS..

<ID:0/009> SetupConnection..
<ID:0/009> Can't open the serial(COM) port.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
This is the first time I get that. The SetupConnection took a lot of time.
I tried to flash PIT file (do not know if it is the right PIT) and get Fail instant.
Any other help. Thanks to all.
Edit:
Now, I turned off and on again and tried to flash the same ROM:
<OSM> I9300UBDLJ1_I9300UBDLI2_I9300ZTODLJ2_HOME.tar.md5 is valid.
<OSM> Checking MD5 finished Sucessfully..

It says no PIT partition.

any suggestion

Anyone flashing a PIT file unless 100% correct is asking for trouble .
Buy a new motherboard .
jje

if theres an error in the emmc flashing the original pit file is unduly. the first thing you need is to flashing recovery to see if its working or not then there solutions such as blocking or disabling the corrupted areas in the emmc chip.

Guys,
Thanks for helping but I guess the phone is briked. I will trie the service center.

Problems after trying to root

Ok so after looking everywhere for a solution and screaming like a mad man in the process i decided to make a thread here and see if someone can help me.
I was running the leaked Android 4.0.3 (got the files from software2tech.com/2012/01/26/complete-guide-update-android-4-0-3-i9100xxlp6-for-samsung-galaxy-s2-video/) and i was running fine. Now i decided to root my phone using software2tech.com/2012/01/27/how-to-root-samsung-galaxy-s2-android-ics-4-0-3-i9100xxlp6/#more-16920
When Odin restarted my Phone all i got was that yellow triangle and i wasn't able to do anything at all but go into download mode (recovery mode is not working) so i thought i could just flash the 4.0.3 Android again and it will all be fine right?....WRONG. Got an error in Odin and after that my phone just said "Firmware Upgrade encountered an error. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again". Tried it but Kies is not recognizing my phone (neither on the "Firmware upgrade error" screen nor in download mode).
Tried Pistachios Recovery guide but the recovery is not working...i can flash the kernel (which sends me back to the yellow triange) but when i try to flash the recovery files or the bootloader i just get more errors. Also read that flashing a stock kernel could be able to fix a problem like this but how am i supposed to find out what my kernel version is, and choose the right one for my phone if i can't start my phone?
Edit: Ok so here are the errors i get when i try to flash

[Q] galaxy i9100G is stuck please help

hi
I probably tried loading i9100 rom into my i9100G phone and now its stuck.
I got BSOD (Black Screen Of Death) - see attached jpg.
when i connected the phone back to the pc the odin app recognized it (i guess it remained in download mode).
I loaded the following file GT-I9100G_ICS_ClockworkMod-Recovery_6.0.1.2.tar and by that i coud enter download mode and recovery mode.
I tried to load ROM stock and failed time and again, each time got the same message:

I had the same problem and I've flashed a stock ICS rom via odin. And do a factory reset/ cache wipe. After that *2767*3855#. It's a hard reset and you'll lose everything but you can use your phone again
Edi got the same problem. Already tried flash stock 4.0.1 rom. FAILED.

This actually happens quite often for me. Just try again and again. You'll get there eventually. Try and do the process as quick possible. That helped me.

Now using:
Sony Xperia tipo ST21i

Current problem:
Cant get past installing flash drivers in xp.

[Q] Recover S3

Hi all,
I am newly registered to the forum, but I have been reading the boards for a while.
I have run into an issue with my phone, in so much that I cant get past the Samsung Boot logo. I cannot get to CWM (Vol up, power and home) but I can get to Download mode (Vol down, power and home).
Once inside Download mode I have tried flashing a few ROMs and they all fail, with a "there is no PIT Partition". so after some google, I found a few PIT files to try to re-partition. These include the MX.PIT and the GT-I9300_mx_20120329.pit. If requested I can upload them for some one to parse thru the PIT_Magic tool.
Once I select the PIT file and select Re-Partition, I get the following error:

And yes I know don't f**k with it in future.

Help using Odin to get to stock (soft brick.. hopefully)

So my friend was trying to fix the wifi on his Note while on Sky Rom (4.3), but, for some reason he happened to have clicked a link to the wrong section and was in the n7100 (international) section. He used Odin to flash the MJ5 bootloader which is the international version. Now his phone will only bootloop with the N7100 boot screen appearing. We are not able to access recovery but we can get to download mode. Once we got to download mode I have tried flashing the PIT file, root66, and the official VRAMC3. Each attempt without a PIT file causes this

I went through this last month and check these things:
- Try a different USB cord
- Try a different USB port
- Disable your antivirus
- May have to reboot your computer
When I softbricked a few weeks ago I went through this process for the first time, and I found I had to keep trying over and over but it finally ended up working.
Remember to unlock your bootloader after this process - which I did not and had to redo everything after rooting and flashing and getting the Verizon discovered unauthorized software etc.
Also, I wonder if this is part of the issue, while in download mode I get "PRODUCT NAME: GT-N7100" instead of sch-i605, could this be part of the issue?
And thanks for the ideas Darbylonia, I tried those and even different computers and still no luck.

Did you try looking through the top stickied post about how to recover from a soft brick? I would go there and see if the info helps and post there. I do think it is strange about the product name but there's got to be a fix so keep on...

Yet another request of help for an S3 bricked

Hi there,
it's matteios1984 first of all i'd like to say hello to the comunity and thank you all for interesting post about Android!
I'm here to asking help about a tricky case. I've a Samsung Galaxy S3 (i9300) bricked. In other words the phone behaves as follow:
- If i try to turn on the device it remains stuck on Samsung S3 logo
- No possible to boot in recovery mode
- When I connect it to the charger it's stucked showing the battery image and not showing any progress about charging status
- The device is still able to boot in download mode both with buttons combo and with resistor trick, but Odin is not able to flash anything on the device (my idea is to flash a Customer Recovery, perform a full wipe of the device and after restore original italian firmware)
Here following a log taken from Odin:
<ID:0/003> Added!!
<OSM> Enter CS for MD5..
<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..
<OSM> Please wait..
<OSM> recovery.tar.md5 is valid.
<OSM> Checking MD5 finished Sucessfully..
<OSM> Leave CS..

I've heard about the possibility to boot the device by a MicroSD card that allows me to flash the device... Do you think this will fix my issue? Or do I need a box? If so, any suggestion about the model is appreciated.
Thanks in advance for your support
Try downgrading the bootloader to BLFB before flashing firmware or pit.
