[Q] Somebody call Columbo!... - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all.
I think i have killed my Galaxy S3 i9300!!!
I rooted it and installed the Paranoid Android rom, but then decided to go back to stock rom as I couldn't access the play store.
Now here's the problem... I wiped dalvic cache and did a factory reset, but stupidly wiped the system at the same time.
There is no operating system on the phone at all now and my pc greys out the device when I plug it in.
Odin did recognize the phone, but I couldn't flash a rom to it as it kept getting stuck at 'nand write start' in all versions of odin.
When I try to start in recovery mode (volume up, power and home) I get the green android instead.
I read that it's game over if you can't enter recovery mode.
Have I killed my s3? :crying:

Possible you have damaged the NAND .
wiped the system at the same time>> then you just flash a stock rom via ODIN .
What phone have you what stock did you flash .
You have already posted this why start yet another thread ??

Sorry for the double post, I thought that the first one may have been in the wrong place, it won't happen again.
I never got to flash any stock roms at all because i'm new to all this and I assumed that doing a factory reset was going
to put me back on the stock rom automatically.
That's when I made the mistake of doing the advanced wipe and ticking the system box.
Excuse my ignorance... but is it possible to fix this even if I don't have recovery mode?
Thank you for your help.

You could try Keis first, if you don't have it install it, start Kies up and then go to Tools > Firmware Upgrade and Installation and follow the on screen instructions

I tried flashing official rom, but Odin got stuck at 'Nand write start' and Kies wouldn't recognize the phone.

Use Kies intilisation or whatever to chose your device and serial.
If that wont work flash recovery and then use recovery to flash a stock based rom.

[Q] My GS2 does not work

I would like help from forum members.
After doing a root using the original firmware version, available here in the forum, my GS2 stopped working.
The device connects, the splash comes from Samsung (the one where the yellow triangle appears), but after that the screen goes black and nothing appears. Imagine turning on your PC but not booting in windows!
I can access the download mode and recovery mode. But nothing I do solves. I've tried putting other firmware versions but not resolved.
The Odin recognizes the device, the Kies not.
Another problem is that I do not know what was the original version of the firmware, but I know that the device was a French version, if that helps.

Well if you can't get it to work in any known way and you dont want to spend money to get it fixed , I'd say soft-brick it by enabling repartition in Odin and get a jig , then try again. You only lose 3-5$ that way. Don't get me wrong , it's the last thing you should try. What you probably should do is to take it to service.
I bought the usb jig must be delivered within 7 days.
But the jig is used to enter the download mode and reset the counter, right?
I can enter the download mode and recovery mode, I can even install any firmware version (official/CF). But none of that worked.
I believe it is with some corrupted file that is not connected to the firmware.
Or not!

Never tick repartition. You won't be able to bring it back that way. You can try soft bricking by unplugging the phone while flashing wih Odin but i still don't recommend it if you aren't able to boot even after flashing multiple roms. Service center would be your best bet

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.

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.

Thank yu!
Looks like you flashed a file for a galaxy note 2 and not an s3.
You need to be careful and flash the right files to your phone or you could end up with a hard brick.
Have a look at the stickies on how to root.
Oh and make sure you have an international galaxy s3 9300 as that is this forum your in.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
you flashed the wrong file (Note II), the process is correct but you need to flash the cf root/auto-root file for the S3 as mentioned! Try it again with it and see if it fixes your issue.
You Might wanna flash a stock firmware in odin first before you try rooting.

So there is nothing I can do to make my phone's touch panel work??
One more thing is..when I open the phone in recovery mode(vol up+menu+power buttons) the android logo in the background is showing some X mark smething..So i guess its soft bricked rather than hard-bricked..so is there no way it can work?

One take to a service centre is best as you have a big problem and zero knowledge .
OR
You could try flashing CF Root recovery from development then booting to recovery format cache system data sd card and preload .
Then download mode and flash stock rom via Odin .

If you phone connects to your PC then try completely resetting the phone using Kies
Start Kies, then go to Tools then Firmware Upgrade and Installation, this process will wipe the phone and reinstall the latest firmware, you will need some details from under the phone battery but just follow the on screen instructions.

Jst out of curiosity..how does rooting some software destroy hardware?
ANd Cnat I jst change that destroyed part instead of Whole Motherboard>?
No.
You can destroy cpu, gpu by overclocking badly, overvolting, eventually internal card can be corrupted but all those scenario aren't linked to a simple rooting procedure (which is only writing two files on the system partition...).
You need to have a good diagnosis, either the digitizer is dead, or the connection of it on the motherboard. Our the motherboard.
Replacement won't be cheap especially for motherboard.

Hi!
I wake up today and find my phone freeze in the start logo! I tried to restart it but it was the same.
http : // im67 . gulfup . com / IiIc2R . jpg
After I tried everything I decide to format the phone with "wipe date/factory reset" but there was a problem!
And this is what I got>>
http : // im67 . gulfup . com / GSmiOr . jpg
I tried to do something using Kies porgram. But it said it is not supported.
Any thought?
Firstly, check the FAQ thread. You'll find information on flashig a custom recovery, after which you can flash a custom ROM. Kies won't help you as it'll only update your phone, which it can't, since there aren't any updates, and apparently it won't even recognize your phone.
Try flashing a custom recovery/root with Odin, then flash a custom ROM via recovery mode. All of this can be found in the FAQ which I have linked to. You may not want a rooted phone, but it's a lot easier to work with.
And if you really mind having a rooted phone, for warranty issues or otherwise, you could also unroot, flash a stock ROM, and reset your flash counter, so it'll all be as it was when you bought your phone. Again, all this is in the FAQ thread.

First of all, thanks for replay.
Even so I don't have so much knowledge with most of that stuff I tried to flash my phone according to the link you give me.
I download 5 or 6 firmwares and try to flash it with Odin but all I got was failed failed failed.
If there are specific steps I can go through, it will be great help

Well why didn't you put that in your thread i'm not a mind reader
Seriously though have a look at doing a mega wipe first look here >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/general/tool-mega-wipesuper-wipefactory-t1832326 << then flash a custom stock rom.Place it on your ext sd card first because the mega wipe will wipe everything including your system.
Read exactly what to do first so you fully understand.

I don't think I will post any more information because if I do you will probably say I've tried that. I think more information is needed on what you have tried so people looking can suggest things you have not tried.

Lol for some people that is advanced
If you have done a mega wipe and installed stock rom correctly there are not many options left
(1) You could try another stock rom (Just in case their is something wrong with the one you are trying to flash)
(2) Try the rescue firmware (But only use as a last resort because it containes a pit file)
(3) Service center
