I have the international edition of the S3 that a was messing around with, and I ended up installing some rom and now I can't even get into recovery. I've searched around and tried multiple methods of fixing it. The only thing I can access is download mode. Can anyone help?
same my condition ..... it's looks like sudden death ..... try flash any recovery files ... if not ... ur last hope doing PIT then if u failed to 100% successfully .... need a new MotherBoard ... replace it if warranty recover
ps: act like fool and tell them u have sudden Death and u didnt play with anything (dont mention ur flash custom rom/firmware ....it will cancel ur warranty)
sry for lose man , u not the only one ... i cant even replace it with warranty due to bought from another country
good luck

Do you know where I could find instructions on how to flash a PIT?

providing u the right PIT file with flasher
http://www.mediafire.com/?ddfpfkk2pb8326k
connect ur mobile , open odin program and then press on PIT button and navigate PIT files then (as i think) choose the latest PIT file with name i9300 (ur mobile Model) and latest date and then hit start ..... good luck but i recommend u send it to ur Samsung repair center if warranty cover
good luck
stop!
before messing with pit files, which is extremely dangerous, flash a stock ROM through Odin and then do a factory reset from recovery

Exactly this^^^^....pit file flashing is an absolute last resort, not a first solution
did you tried flashing 4.0.4 stock rom with odin?
same thing happened to me 2 weeks ago, flashing 4.0.4 and after that flashing 4.1.2 fixed it.
try to do not mess with pit especially if you didn't backup your efs folder. it is not needed.

I've already tried to flash a stock firmware, but I still couldn't get it into recovery. I'm not sure if it was the right one though. I have a regular unbranded SIII, is there a specific firmware I should flash?

okay? the first thing to do here is just flash a stock ROM, no need for pit files
Mine was stuck before than samsung logo, on the model number screen. Almost 1 second or less after opening the device.
Then i flashed 4.0.4 and magically it opened without any loop or something. Its useless to flash 4.1.2 or any other jb stock rom, for some reason it seems not fixing the loop issue.
Again, there is no problem related with pit files.

It's all individual, what worked for you might not work for others. Don't say that flashing JB is useless, because it's not
I flashed stock 4.0.4 firmware through odin. The operation was successful, but I was still unable to enter recovery. What am I doing wrong?

Follow the steps to root and flash your custom ROM again as if you just got your phone. The same thing happened to my T999, and it took me 3 tries doing this to finally get back into Recovery.
try to flash in odin stock rom then root use cwm then try to go to recovery..
My cousin's having the same exact issue and we've been unable to find the proper rom. Can anyone please tell me where to get one? I've downloaded some "international" ones but when i try to upload it it keeps telling me failed, i've tried at least 4 or 5 different roms.
ANY help would be greatly appreciated!!
Phone is:
GT-i9300
using it in the US with StraightTalk in the US (been working like a charm for ~6 months, all of a suddent when into this weird limp mode)
Phone was running jellybean 4.1.1 (through kies) and not rooted
Try several times before giving up. Sometimes it works after when the device feels that you've had enough stress and fear.
I mean the problem is common but it's solved in different ways or different repeats.
But it seems that your problem is a software problem that can be solved.

Hello,
I read a lot of threads but nothing worked and now I just want to now if my handy is dead! I hope you can give me some information. Maybe some solutions.
Here is my actual situation:
On day my handy was turned off. I tried to turn it on but it keeps in a bootloop. Only the first GT-!9100 was seen and it restarts.
I took out the battery and started it again. Then it booted until the message "App 1 of 1 will be optimized". I waited a long time (about 2 hours) and nothing happend. I took out the battery and tried to boot again. Same problem like at the beginning - again bootloop.
Then I tried to get in recovery mode. It worked! I wiped the cache and restartet my handy. But again bootloop. Now I couldn't get into recovery mode. The droid was lying with a red triangle and my handy restartet automatically. So I tried the download mode. It worked! I downloaded from sammobile the actual firmware I9100XWLSD_I9100DBTLS7_DBT. I tried to flash it with odin v3 1.85 over the PDA button. I connected the handy with odin it tells me that he found my handy and I started to flash. It stucks at cache.img. I waited over night. Nothing happend. Still stucking on cache.img. I took my battery out an dwhen I put it back an started may handy I get now the yellow triangle "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
So tried another one with three parts and PIT. In this time with re-partition in odin. But same procedure. I stucked at cache.img.
I still have the yellow triangle and I only can get into download mode.
Then I heard from soft/hard brick problem. I also tried the solution with only flashing the PIT. But no success
So I tried a custom kernel Clockwork Mode Recovery (GT-I9100_JB_ClockworkMod-Recovery_6.0.2.9.tar) to get in recovery mode back. I tried to flash but it stuicks again at "NAND write". I waited again. Nothing happend. So I restarted my handy with tooking out the battery and putting it back again. But in download mode I see that my handy has a custom binary! So it worked. But I can't get into recovery mode of Clockwork
I also tried CF-Root. Here the same problem!
What's wrong with my handy? Is it broken? I've heard maybe I have to re-partition my hand over adb but I found nothing.
One thing is that for half a year I had a problem with my internal SD. It could not mount. After a update of the firmware (luckiely there was a new one!) over OTA it worked again. Maybe I have really a problem with my internal memory...
I hope I have give you all neede information to analyze my problem and I hope really you can help me. If not then it would be good to know if my handy is dead.
Thanks in advance

do u have your phone in warranty ?
also as u can get into download mode try flashing kernel stock kernel first then the flash the stock rom (3 way package) .. do not use pit
pit shud b the last option
I can image that the following happened to your phone (not sure, only a guess):
- you were on Android 2.3.x or 4.0.x
- there was on OTA update to 4.0.4 which caused the 'updating Apps' message
- for what reason ever it was not able to update all apps successfully
- you went to recovery and *wiped*!
Being on 4.0.4 this bricked your phone due to the emmc brick bug. After that all flashing / booting / etc. will fail ...
If this is the case, there is not much to do. There is a program and a thread to modify the partition table to make it re-useable, but only in special cases.

Tee thread is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1823918, but if you were already on 4.1.2, you should be save. Probably it's something different and I was wrong.
@neerajganga:
I used a different PC with a different version of Windows (WIN7 on the 1st PC and WIN XP on the 2nd one). Same problem. Odin keeps stucking on cache.img :'(
I read the thread of the emmc brick bug but my problem is that for solution one I can't flash Siyeh Kernel 5.0.1 because of stucking with odin.
For the 2nd solution I need to get in recovery mode and this is not possible because of the yellow triangle.
@AndDiSa:
The thread says that it is possible to use the scanner manually in adb. Does it mean I can use it without going into recovery mode? If yes, would it be possible to explain to me how I can do it in few steps?

ADB is useable only in recovery mode or on a running system, unfortunately neither of those are working for you currently
Sorry, but currently I don't know what else you could try.

Try to go in recovery mode and format the whole device inside recovery. Try to use odin to flash a recovery if your device doesn't boot in to. If you're successfully then try from there to flash a kernel and a zip from stock rom.

also once u done flashing the pit i mentioned above ... flash a stock kernel first .. then flash the entire rom
@neerajganga:
I used CF-Root and Siyeh Kernel 5.0.1. and Odin stucks. The left upper corner says "Kernel" and the green barrel is full but in the message there is no complete or success info. It just freezes. When I turn my handy on I get the yellow triangle and I can't get into recovery mode. When I'm in the download mode it shows me that I have a custom binary. So I think it worked but no boot or recovery mode possible.
No success with the PIT file. I choosed re-partiton and only your PIT file but Odin stucked.
@gastonw:
I don't know it exactly. First there was the bootloop then it wanted to optimize 1 of 1 app. After wipe cache no recovery mode anymore. That's why I tried the custom roms. I just can give you the information what I see in Odin and on my phone.
How can I know that my USB drivers are not working correct. In Odin I get the yellow ID:COM with my COM port shown. I tried now a different PC and there I just installed the USB drivers. No KIES. And still the same problem with my phone.
Maybe I really have to re-partiton my phone but right now I didn't found something to try it out. Maybe you can give me some information about it.

i had the same prob. Solution is easy. Just download the originial stock rom. You can flash this by using odin. Select pda and your file (should be a .tar file). good luck!
Firmware upgrade on a custom stock ROM ?? You don't do that. Do as above or you could flash philz kernel through Odin and restore you're bk up.
I had the same problem, but I thought,if firmware upgrade encounters an issue , you can't enter download mode

Tried flashing Kernel with ODIN also tried flashing a stock official ROM. No luck. Kernel gets stuck at NAND Write and ROM says FAIL.
Search for Hopper8's 'Odin troubleshooting' thread. Try the stuff in that thread. Keep trying it. Only way you're fixing it is if you get it to successfully take an Odin flash.
I had the same problem, and flashing the Stock official ROM with Odin worked for me, just make sure you're using the correct version of Odin, I think I had to try one or two different versions before the flash worked for me.

Tried everything. Different versions of ODIN, different stock roms, 3 part jb rom, custom kernels, followed Hopper8's thresd to the T and still no luck. Can't get a single successful flash. Everything stops inbetween. The only thing I havent tried is flashing a bootloader. Since I'm out of options and replacing is too expensive for a 3yr old phone im willing to risk anything now. Thing is I was on neatROM jb 4.1.2 was this problem happened so which bootloader file can I try flashing via odin?

SO now that my phone has been officially declared dead is there any way to recover some data from it? I have a few recordings and photos that are on the phone and I can get it into download mode so is there any possibility of data recovery?
Unlikely. A company who specialises in recovery of data from dead HDD's might be able to help, but it's very much a longshot & will be very expensive if possible.

The phone is NOT dead. You van save it by forcing it to download mode by usb jig (1$ on ebay), then flash unsecure kernel (like Siyah/Dori with CWM inside) using Odin. If you're unable to do it by yourself - take the device to a cellphone repair shop.
Hello,
I'm having a strange problem since I'd flashed Cyanogenmod 10.2 on my device. I was running smooth for couple of days and then suddenly it restarted and stuck on Samsung bootlogo. Whenever I'd tried to power on it was stuck there. Then I tried odin flash stock latest NG3 rom and the phone asked for pit. After this it's not working anymore except the Download mode. It shows on odin but when I try flashing anything it fails all the time. Please if anybody can help me on this :crying:

@mistermish2000, I'm not a pro but I believe that your partition is corrupted.
If you flashed with PIT selected then you can try to use a recovery firmware for your device from XDA. That would be a last resort though.
thanks RazorMC. I tried with stockrecovery file with no luck, but can u suggest any recovery firmware for the I9300 version please. I'm also looking but if u know any that worked before please suggest. thanks again

No this is a sign of complete eMMC failure see this post >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/help/problem-white-screen-black-lines-rain-t2467459 << I have never seen anyone recover from this and I have seen quite a few posts with the same problem. Service repair recommended :crying:
Try reading the 'dead boot repair solution' thread in general forum, a repair shop with a z3x box will be able to tell you if the emmc is totally fried.

good luck man:good:
I have a Galaxy S2 with a custom rom, after a year the s2 won't boot. Only I see encryption failed. I have tried to get in the recovery menu but won't work. Now the phone hangs on samsung logo.
Not possible to get in recovery, downloadmode works.
If I try to flash in Odin it fails or hangs. I have tried different stock roms and odin versions and got not succes. I have read about Nand rw corruption. Is it possible and how can I fix it ?
Need help!

go here and flash any pit file you want. Then flash stock one and any kernel you want

hi delimavi1981,
I'm in the exact same situation. my s2 rebooted right after I lunched the camera, then complained about an encryption failure and asked me if I want to do a factory restore which I refused, hoping that this will go away on turning off the phone and turning it on again. unfortunately, now I can only get to download mode where Odin keeps failing or getting stuck!
should I consider this a hardware failure and go for a new phone or possibly a change of motherboard or there are some softwaric hopes?!!
thx
S
software failure, flash a stock rom from odin will fix that

It contains everything you need to try to recover your S2.
If it's not in that guide, it's not worth trying.

Hi @NDbluewee....
It's been almost 6 months since I even visited this forum. That link you posted is a redirect to a thread by @Hopper8. He's the go to expert for software issues (I'm more of a hardware person). I don't even have my trusty S2 any more....my kids 'appropriated' it almost a year ago. Sorry I can't be of any help to you fella....

Woah, even longer since I've been on. Maybe at least a year :/ Who knew my S2 guide would still come in handy! Hope you're doing well mate.
Thanks bro
