Well come back to life my Galaxy S3-i9300 - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
sorry for my bad english
a few days ago i did an update via odin.i mean i want to change firmware to another stock rom to test battery life and something else but my mistake is that i used PIT file.that erase every thing and after that S3 freeze at boot logo ,very lagy and restart by itself.
i searched internet and unfourtunately i found my s3 bricked
but now its ok and the solution is ever u used PIT(partition information table)u must flash files that ur s3 need.
=================================================
1-u must use correct version of samsung galaxy s3(i9300) = Odin3 v3.04
2-go to download mode by presing volume down + menu + power and then select wolume up
3-flash pit file with odin .phone will restart and then enter download mode by step 2 again then go to step 4 (this isnt necessary more)
4-if u want flash desired stock rom do this by PDA button
5-if u do step 4 then restart or not flash PARAM.bin by PHONE button via odin
thats the point , param.bin is the solution for s3
its worked for my dead galaxy s3 gt-i9300 and i thought that bricked
=======================
extract files and uses them
i extracted param.bin from a stock korean firmware
hope it will help who search for solution :victory:

Good but Really works ??

hi
i think this can help if use PIT file.i test without using PIT file and no problem happens.
if phone is slow and laggy and restart with no reason i think its good to test this solution.however this file available in boot loader and main firmware file but flash it instead of those can help

when u flash .pit or .param do you need to enable Re-partition on Odin?

hello,I had initially no WIFI, then a few days later brick.
Hopefully boot always correct and I could flash some original ROM.
But doing so the IMEI and other where lost (while files are written in the EFS partition-directory
My 9300 INT (Europe-France) works but limited to Wifi. 4.1.2 version with EMG4 (recent 2013 july) the 9300 date sept 2012
The EFS was probably overriden
I flashed different ROMS and could not have it back, but I did not try to use PIT rebuilding.
I am actually with an EMG4 modem - so I just wonder
Is the param.bin a descriptive file fro PIT ?
If not what kind of PIT file may I use ? is it included in a part of the ROM files ?
If I put the complete rom file in the PIT window of ODIN, will ODIN use only PIT? or will it FLASH the complete ROM + PIT.
SOrry to be new to this, I can understand shell, ADB, busybox, root etc, but the way the flashing is mounting files and partitioopns escapes me.
Thank you in advance if someone can give me a hand.
Regards
PS I had seen almost 100 pages of different methods and no real TUTO when no backup is find (I may have one at some point but on another SD...
So I know no miracle exist, out of specific equipment. , box, ...
Sorry for the 10001 quetion about the same troublewith IEMI/EFS

Help
there is no PIT partition here

i can't understand if i need to flash param or not. if its not needed then why download it ?

i can't connect to wifi and can't use dialer, does above method solve my problem ?

It is possible that your phone suffered a by now well known Sudden Death Syndrome. If you used a Firmware before, that didn`t included the SDS fix then it could happen. Syndromes are like you described: Phone freezing all the time, not responding etc.
More infos here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2091045
So you can go into download mode right?
If yes then download a official Samsung firmware and then try to flash it through Odin. Now the most important thing for you is to get your phone to a Stock state, so that it hopefully boots up.
Yes i can go into download mode. i download the original firmware from sammobile but still i dont understand witch pit file i must use.

Hi Guys,
When I bought my Grand Prime I installed the ROM G530HVJU1ANI8 and it works so I installed the new version G530HZTM1ANJ2 and it works too.
Now there are two new versions for my region that show up a message error like that : Odin just errors: Failed [Auth].
I used the Odin 3.07 and 3.09 versions
I'm using the Odin with only one file in extracted file choosing the file as pda
2014-09-01 Brazil (TIM) 4.4.4 G530HVJU1ANI8 G530HZTM1ANI8 - OK
2014-11-01 Brazil (TIM) 4.4.4 G530HVJU1ANJ2 G530HZTM1ANJ2 - OK
2015-02-01 Brazil (TIM) 4.4.4 G530HVCU1ANL4 G530HZTM1ANL4 - failed
2015-03-01 Brazil (TIM) 4.4.4 G530HVCU1AOB1 G530HZTM1AOB1 - failed
Someone from BR updated the recently ROM sucessfully or someone can help me to update ?
The mobile is not rooted.
Thanks

Try ur self n report here. If u free from ur carrier/network n SIM, I think then u succeed.
FAIL (AUTH)
For ppl who try flashing your device with new released firmware and got a message say "FAIL (AUTH)" in your odin,.. it is means you downloaded the wrong firmware region and that firmware is not compatible with your device..
You can try download another firmware region and re-try flash you device,..
My device is SM-G530H made in vietnam, i bough this phone on my country indonesian,..
The firmware worked for my device is kazakhstan region (i flashed it on early Feb and worked well) and also indonesian region (i flashed it on early March and worked well also)
Hope this helps

Need files!

Hi.
So basically I think my Galaxy S3 i9300 is bricked .When I turn it on it goes into download mode.I want to flash a ROM on it but have trouble finding the proper one.Can someone give me links to a ROM which has .pit,csc and modem files?
please point me in the right direction.Thanks
Depends on yre choice , stock or custom
I want links to a stock ROM please.
Sammobile is your best bet. It has almost all stock firmwares for all Samsung phones.
However , the download speed is limited to around 50kb/s for free users
SAMMobile only gives the .md5 file. I need a ROM with all the files I listed.
Try here : http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I9300
The region codes are listed here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/general/csc-codes-t2090739
Note: you don't allways need to use all the files, in most of the cases csc and pda is enough
