[Q] White screen "Grey lines" bug again - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When i came home my phone would bot respond to unlocking the screen so i've pulled the battery and powered on and then the screen was white and full of horizontal lines . At first i thought that there was something wrong with the screen connector becaus the scrreen lokked different when phnone was off charger was plugged in and different than normally turned on. But with hope i've tried booting to recovery again lines. but booting to download mode worked.
Then i've searched over xda and few other sites (mostly linking here)
I've tried flashing single file stock rom:
Code:
<ID:0/003> Odin v.3 engine (ID:3)..
<ID:0/003> File analysis..
<ID:0/003> SetupConnection..
<ID:0/003> Initialzation..
<ID:0/003> Get PIT for mapping..
<ID:0/003>
<ID:0/003> There is no PIT partition.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
then i've downoaded mx.pit file tried with repartition and there was:
Code:
<ID:0/003> Odin v.3 engine (ID:3)..
<ID:0/003> File analysis..
<ID:0/003> SetupConnection..
<ID:0/003> Initialzation..
<ID:0/003> Set PIT file..
<ID:0/003> DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!!
<ID:0/003>
<ID:0/003> Re-Partition operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
I've pulled battery for 15 min ant the same thing happend.
I even tried updating via KIES in download mode but there was an error . in the begining of the update.
The warranty of the phone was voided few months ago.
Is there anything I can still do at this point (maybe finding proper pit file .... bit i dont know how to match it to my gt-i9300 16GB version)
Will someone better equipped will be able to repair it or i have to brace myself for the cost of a new phone (mainboards are as expensive ad used s3)?

is this what you have ?

[Q] Unable to load stock firmware (US Cellular)

My phone has gone into emergency recover and I've tried to recover it by flashing it with both "Odin" and the samsung "SimpleUpgradeTool" but it has failed everytime I've tried it.

[Q] Galaxy s3 won't boot, can go into recovery but no functions work.

Hello everyone
Today my phone randomly went into ***** mode and it didn't do anything when I pressed the home or power button. So I pulled out the battery and put it back in and started up the phone as this wasn't the first time that something likes this happend. But it didn't do anything. It just showed the Galaxy S III logo and that's it. So I tried to boot in recovery and tried to wipe all my data. But it gave like a thousand errors saying: Can't mount /cache/ ... Can't mount /sdcard/ etc... So I tried to flash stock rom with odin. It failed. So I googled about my problem and tried to flash the PIT (don't know if i'm saying it correctly) and it gives this error:
<ID:0/003> Added!!
<ID:0/003> Odin v.3 engine (ID:3)..

<ID:0/003>
<ID:0/003> Complete(Write) operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
<ID:0/003> Removed!!
So after some research I found out about SDS (sudden death syndrome). It seems that my internal memory is damaged and I have to get a new motherboard or a new phone? Is there any way to fix this? As I can still acces download mode and recovery mode (although none of the functions work).
I had cyanogenmod 11.2 M12 on it, so android 4.4.
Thanks!
Try the rescue firmware from general forum, flash with the pit file that thread contains.
If that fails then downgrade bootloader to BLFB first before flashing.
If none of that works then nand is burned out, time for a new phone.
nope, none of the solutions you said worked, guess it's time for a new phone... RIP my $$$

Sudden death didn't be fixed in 4.1.2 ?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA Free mobile app
Sudden death was due to a bug in the nand memory wear levelling code, the memory still wears out now -but not so fast.

You don’t need Odin to flash something, you can flash a zip file from your custom recovery.

Ok you hadn’t mentioned it so I thought you might be able to.
A hard brick is when you cannot boot your phone into any mode.
From what I’ve read your case is called a sudden death (SDS), so try to search for it.

You need service repair seen many posts like this example >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/help/problem-white-screen-black-lines-rain-t2467459 << white screen is the sign of the complete eMMC failure I have not seen any posts that have solved this with a software solution.

There are in fact some cheap used motherboards sold on eBay.
If you feel confident with replacing it, all steps are explained in images and video.
Be careful as you may need to take off the rear camera from your old motherboard and plug it on the new one.

[Q] Did I hard brick my 4.2 intl. Version? Any chance on reviving?

Hi everyone,
almost two years ago I bought this fine device and flashed TerraSilent - being pretty happy.
After a few updates (while using wlan the gui and launcher updated themselves) the device got slower and slower.
Even during music playback it had some freezes and stutter.
Then my poweramp didn't work anymore saying I should get a licence - I bought the licence a long time before that!
So I decided to clean everything and reinstall the stock firmware to go backt to the newest TerraSilent.
Once plugged it in got into "download mode" and wanted to flash.
It started with "setup the connection" and nothing else happened. I waited for 10 more minutes and after that I turned off the device and it got bricked.
I ordered a jig USB stick and got in download mode again.
FW-file: yp-gi1cw.factoryfs.stock.tar
When I try to flash again this message appears:
<ID:0/003> Added!!

Odin V3.04
After all of that I just wanted to use my Note 3 to listen to music and stuff but it sounds like ****! (Using the same headhones)
Heimdall does not find the device after that, it did before!
Can you tell me if I have an electric paper weight or is there a further chance of reviving it?
I also have read this thread but didn't really help me.

Reinstalling Android 5.0.1 With Odin3 v3.09 on S4

Hi guys, massive noob when it comes to phones.
My mother got a s4 which is locked to a specific carrier, me thinking a reinstall of android will fix the problem just finds a online way of doing it and managed to break it....
now I cant boot it back up normally and the recovery screen doesn't boot, only the download screen does.
This is what I'm doing. As you can see that re-partition is unchecked but it tried to re-partition anyway. Please help.
