[Q] Phone not compatible with android 4.3 ? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello
I tried everything but I can't use any 4.3 rom on my S3, it boots but when I try to reboot my phone don't go beyond the samsung bootscreen until I format my entire phone including internal SD card. I tried temasek builds, experimentals build, nightly builds, and I tried fresh install a dirty one, install over a fresh stock 4.1.2 and 4.2.2 flashed with odin, I tried fixing permissions on TWRP and CWM I tried everything but here is the fact, whatever I do I can't reboot my phone on Android 4.3 without formatting it.
I'm not a noob but I don't know what to do, I don't want to get stuck on 4.2.2 forever and now CM won't release any other nightly for CM 10.1
Thanks in advance

Try megawipe?

Okay
Edit: My phone still don't boot after a reboot , I can boot CM 10.2 after a megawype but if I reboot the phone then I can't go beyond bootscreen.

Are you restoring any data?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 4

Nope, fresh start. My phone boot (without any data) and a reboot with or without any data leads to the big fail. I can use the phone but not rebooting..

Weird. Maybe the filesystem is corrupting.

I'd be really interested to find out if this works for the OP.
@Darius_AWS - what recovery do you have now?

TWRP and I used CWM as well it didn't change a thing...
It seems that a reboot corrupt the filesystem but i don't know how to avoid that...

Try with Philz as suggested.

Fresh install with Philz worked, you can't explain that but THANKS ! I'll give you thanks for your precious help guys you made my day

Phil has merged CM 10.2 sources into his recovery, where as older CWM's and TWRP have not / can not.
I can only assume it's something to do with that.
I've learned something today.

Me too !

U dont need to be on a specific rom , just download cm9 , install it , install gapps , and falsh kernel
Reboot and wipe data/cache/dalvik
It will work on any rom ur on , cm10 worx like that too
What's the point in cm9 when we're already on ics? Is it a lot different?

[Q] Omega installed, ext memory card?

Having installed Omega on my international i9300, my ext mem card is not showing, can someone tell me what I need to do to get it working again?
Many thanks
If you don't have any important data, formats it into FAT32 by using computer or whatever.
If you can't afford to loose your data, try flash an exFAT supported kernel

That's right, probably it's exFAT formatted, try flashing Boeffla kernel, it supports exFAT and at the same time it's an amazing kernel.

I don't get it, first the problem was you don't see the extsdcar, and now it doesn´t boot?
Can you enter recovery mode? do a wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache and wipe dalvik.

The ext mem was not being recognised having installed latest omega, , so I followed your advice, flashed the boeffla-kernel-2.12.tar, using odin on my laptop, now, I turn the phone on, it only displays Samsung i9300, then nothing, I try to enter download mode or recovery pressing volume down, power and home, no responce.
Previously I had installed some rom management software on my i9300, I thought that might affect my ability to enter recovery.download mode.
Please advise.
Remove rom management wipe phone and flash stock rom .

Or try to flash a stock ROM with ODIN, and then start from zero again if nothing else work.

Thanks, having flashed stock rom, flashing philz_touch_5.07.1-i9300.tar, (from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2201860) using odin results with Fail, could someone tell me the odin flash options to pick, as this frustrates me.
Flashing boeffla-kernel-2.12.tar always makes my i9300 not run, does not work.
Many Thank!!

Looking @ boeffla it says on the site:
Note: This kernel is only for Samsung based Jelly Bean (Android 4.1.x) roms!!! Do not install it on CM or AOSP based roms!!! And do not install on latest Samsung 4.2 leaks !!!
I am running 4.2.2, is it ok, to flash it?
Q: pressing power button holding, no option to boot into recovery, how can I change this?

Ow, that's the reason that explains all, don't use boeffla with 4.2.2, there are no kernels yet that I'm aware of for that firmware.
I don't recommend you 4.2.2 yet, not perfect yet.
For recovery, you have to press power+home+vol up, then release power button (not the others) once you see the first logo.
As said no kernels for 4.2.2 though the leaked rom is itself very stable for a beta rom .

flashed wrong CWM

Hello
I've accidentally flashed a wrong cwm-recovery (meant for some other phone)
After the installation I've rebooted into recovery and it booted the one I already had (that's when I understood it's the wrong one)
Then I've tried to reboot back to my rom but it got stuck on the rom's loading screen
Tried to flash a new rom after using gs2RomWipe
Tried to restore from a nandroid backup
all of them gave the same result.. stuck on the loading screen
Now to my question...
If I flash a stock Rom via Odin.. will it be enough? will I be able to reroot and use my phone normally again?
Or is there an easier way maybe?
i did the same today..
all the time bootloop..
flashing same rom that i was using did not helped..
flashing some other rom helped but cant call cause phone dont see simcard..
flashing some other roms like cyanogenmod also stuck my on bootloop..
I am pretty sure you have to flash via odin.
Update...
I've flashed a stock rom via Odin but it went into a bootloop
when I've entered recovery it said E:failed to mount efs (invalid argument)
so far I've found no way to make the phone work
please help

and it usually takes 1-2 mins max for me
also doesn't explain why stock from odin wont work
It seems to me that I need to somehow fix the efs folder but no idea how to do that
almost all the guides I've seen about that requires the rom to work and use root explorer
the others wasn't clear enough or just not related
according to the shell commands my efs folder is empty
copying the efs folder I have on my sdcard doesn't help because it's not there after reboot
I have a tar.gz as well but not sure how to use it
can I flash the .tar via odin? or some other solution with adb/shell?
or do you think it has nothing to do with my problem?
anyone have any idea how to help me???
I've tried many different ways but my device just wont make it past the loading screen of the rom (doesn't matter which one)
I really have no idea what can cause this problem
thought that flashing stock rom via Odin should fix it but it doesn't help
I've tried some methods I've seen to fix efs problems but so far nothing helped
I'm really desperate at the moment :\
download mode and flash the cwm kernel via Odin should work.

OK.....just a quick thing......Odin flashing a normal single file stock firmware *may* not be the solution as it just overwrites what is already there during the flash. I will provide a link to a three part firmware that wipes the old as it flashes.....this essentially flashes the firmware onto 'pristine' memory partitions....it *might* help......
Here's the link.....
http://www.mediafire.com/?1z5ao5b6r594x45
Search for @Hopper8s Odin troubleshooting guide for instructions on how to flash it.....
Good luck.....

[ROOT-METHOD] [4.2.2] custom superSU flashable zip (works on all 3 models)

This is a little flashable zip I put together to be used via cwm / twrp. This is not an official superSU zip, It's put together by me. Note that this will work just fine on all 3 tab 3 10.1 models but as for other devices, it will ONLY work on devices with an x86 processor. Download link and instructions are below.
Instructions (assuming you're completely stock)
1. Download the zip either directly on the device or on your computer. Place in the root of your sdcard.
2. Flash TWRP (via odin). twrp thread found here.
3. When flashing is complete, reboot into recovery.
4. Install the zip in TWRP. Wiping cache/dalvik is recommended, but not necessarily required.
5. reboot, wait for the "android is upgrading" message to be finished.
6. Let sit for about 5 minutes.
7. Reboot tab.
8. Let sit for about 10 minutes upon boot.
9. Open SuperSU and go to settings. Disable and then re-enable superuser.
10. Everything should now be working smoothly you can test root by downloading terminal emulator and typing "su" in the command line.
*note that this will also install busybox*

Should theoretically work with cwm, I highly reccomend twrp though, it's much more stable and reads your external SD card
Waiting first 5 minutes and before reboot it ask me to update binary. I do it before reboot second time ?

If it works go for it. It might not let you update the binary without finishing the steps though

- Reboot and flash custom SuperSu
- wait 5 min before reboot
- wait 10 min....

That should do it. After that go into SuperSu and update the binary. If it won't update then to to SuperSu settings and disable then reenable superuser. Should update fine after that

[Solved]Blocked for the next steps to install Cyanogenmod 11 (YP-G1 INTL) by zaclimon

Hello all,
Just to announce I RTFM but my brain is maybe broken and I'm a little scared, so i'd rather like to ask before screaming like a baby
So my case:
My device: GP 4.0 YP-G1 Europe(INTL) stock ROM 2.3.6 and kernel stock 2.6.35.7-etc
I was lurking the developement on the galaxy player for 2 years and i decided to install the custom rom Cyanogen mod by Zaclimon.
So today, I read a lot, follow the steps for the specific rom:
-installed android-sdk, adb, rooted to save my efs(~6.25Mo) and when i was on the recovery(the basic one i guess) to flash the .zip, it screens "E:Short write of /tmp/sideload/package.zip (No space left on device)
Installation aborted."
But i have > 5 GB space (so it's not the problem)
So i tried to find a solution with Odin/Heimdall but i can't put on the pda field the zip rom 'cause zip it's not the good extension. I tried to find a solution to have a custom recovery, but i'm not sure if it's the good idea, because in the tutorial by Zaclimon, it's written "from stock do 1,2,3 bla bla"
So now I'm blocked and i would like to flash this device to thanks your works and use it as it should be from the beginning
So it would be nice if someone could help me ^^

Did you flashed a custom kernel (terrasilent, klin) prior flashing the rom? You need to have CWM installed on the device so you can install CM11.

here you can find a list of kernels and roms and stuff. look for the kernel that is compatible with your device and make sure it has clockworkmod. then you can flash that with odin. then when your boot into recovery it will be clockworkmod recovery :good:
I tried to find a solution to have a custom recovery, but i'm not sure if it's the good idea,

@zaclimon and Austin68: Thank you for your fast responses. And nop, i didn't install a custom kernel, because i thought that stock = base device with no change or only root, but yeah i will find infos & install a kernel, moreover all infos are recent ? Don't wanna brick it with oldies tutos
Back in few hours, going to flash it after the work, see you and thank's again :good:

I can cry now :crying:
My device seems to be bricked, I know that it can be repaired but more time wasted for you and me
So my steps to fuc* the process:
-I chose the terrasilent 1.3-5 kernel, flash it with Odin with Auto-Reboot and F. Reset time.
So the device worked good, booted to recovery try to find the cyanogenmod 11 zip in the sdcard, but the file recovery doesn't show me anything unless the external sdcard, so i rebooted 2-3 times, but always the same.
-So my brillant idea ... was to re-flash it with the re-partition box checked this time and BOOOM, FAIL + icon like a phone --- /!\ ---- PC on the GP
So please, now you can help the 100% broken brain.
Can't wait for your responses and help
PS: I have my efs.rfs
Seems like you bricked your player but their is no need to fear. Go to the Samsung thread where all ROMs mods and kernels are located and look for rjs kernel 14 Odin. Then download and go to Odin, then where it Say's PDA put that kernel there and flash and you should be in cwm 5.0.2.7 recovery. I bricked my galaxy player about 3 times so this should work. Also if you have a nandroid backup you can restore that only if its gingerbread.

If you used re-partition, you will most likely need to flash the full recovery stock rom for the 4.0 Intl models here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1531850
When you'll flash it, you can then re-partition and it should return to normal. This mode you have is a sort of "forced" download mode. Don't worry about flashing stuff into it with Odin.

Don't make him flash anything that isn't made for his device. He has a YP-G1 which is a galaxy player 4.0 whereas rj's kernel is made for the galaxy player 5.0.
Oops I forgot rjs kernel was for 5.0 sorry man

@troy5890: No problem 
 @zaclimon: Thanks a lot, it works
Device with a 2.3.6 rooted, so later I will have to know where is my error to not reproduce it (do i have to enable re-partition when flashing with the terrasilent kernel or not) and if it was good or not the first time, why i didn't see in the recovery file manager the zip to install the ROM
But now, going to bed (1:30 AM). See you later and thanks again

1. Good to see that it is working again.
2. You have to NOT check the re-partition case when you flash terrasilent.
3. Did the cm zip was in the internal storage? The /sdcard partition is often (if not always) recognized as the internal storage and not the actual SD card storage.
Also @troy5890 don't worry about it, you wanted to help so it's already better than some so would just skip that one.

I don't have any SD external card, but I knew that i have to set the zip in the "basic device storage".
To recall the process after my work:
1-flash the rooted stock rom 2.3.6 installed with terrasilent 1.3.5 with Odin with the re-partition UN-checked(like yesterday)
2-copy past the zip cyanogen mod 11 by zaclimon with my usb-PC connexion on the root of the storage card.
3-boot in to the CWM recovery
4-go to the "choose zip from sdcard’" line and choose the zip.
The step 4 was my problem yesterday(didn't see any files)
So do i need between the step like the 1st one and the second to wipe data/cache/Dalvik or it was only a bug yesterday ???
Thanks you for reading and help me

It's not normal that you can't see any file when you go into flash zip from sdcard then choose zip from sdcard. Hmm what does it shows when you press it? Maybe with a picture it could be more representative.

It was my yesterday problem for my first try before the GP semi-brick.
Back in 6/7 hours to my home to re-try it and to give you feedbacks.
See you soon
Okaaaaaaaaaaaay, flash it right now
I'm on your ROM zaclimon, so happy to test and play with it.
Thank you really for your big works (because i follow your work on the GP for 2 years and i saw what the community and you have done)
