[Q] galaxy s3 screen not turning on - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hay guys so recently my Samsung gs3 screen stooped working but it kept making noise for notifications i got it in to download mode and plugged it into kies and clicked on firmware upgrade and instillation as that was recommended but it didn't help. do you guys know what is rong?
here is the info about the device:
gt-i9300
running android 4.3
memory 16gb

Sounds like your screen died. You could try flashing a fresh firmware installation via odin, but you probably need a replacement screen.

Running 4.3 then Kies upgraded to what ???
As said you would be better with a service repair .

Can Any One Help Me?
I had a different problem with updating through KIES, but all the same, Odin flashing is the best way to go.
Have you all got the latest version of Kies? I believe there was a sizeable update recently. I can't really advise more than that as I get updates from here and use Odin.

Ver.2.0.1.11053_99
Same problem, that I am facing. Latest kies as well. Seems like kies is the worst software ever designed in the history of mankind.
Any simpler way to update the phone. Does ODIN require root?

Yes Kies is 100% Worst ..If you use ODIN Once you cant use Kies (Official Firmware Updater) till you get back to Official Firmware again (The One you got with Mobile)

Update to 4.2 stuck at 2%

First I've tried to update my firmware S3 with WIFI and I never got the download.
Then I try to update using Kies. The download has been stuck at 2% for over 3 hours. I can't disconnect the usb cable and I can't cancel the download. What now ? What happens if I disconnect the cable ? I don't want to brick my phone, I didn't even make a backup.
what? there's not official 4.2 update for the s3 from samsung.

It has to be, I got the update by notification, I didn't give too much attention to it when I started the update but I was running 4.1, that I am sure of.
must be 4.1.2... dont think you got 4.2 official on your S3 (aint released)

nope, it's still 4.1.2! samsung has not made any official announcement to push 4.2.1 to the S3.
so just because there's an update != 4.2.1
*facepalm*
that's not the problem, the problem is that it is stuck. what am I looking at if I disconnect the cable? how do I fix this ?
it is cos there is not official 4.2 update: if there was samsung would have announced it would have been bringing it to the S3 and no such announcement was made.
and now it all sounds fishy!
You can get the latest firmware from sammobile and flash it via Odin

It's not. He only said it was 4.2 because he thought so.
I unplugged the phone this morning and it's fine, didn't lose anything.
Version actuelle du micrologiciel : PDA:LJ2 / PHONE:LID / CSC:LJ2 (XEF)

This is what the update was about.

[Q] Kies doesn't recognise curent firmware version.

Hi to all.
I seem to have a problem with samsung kies. I have a GT-I9100 international with android 4.0.4 and i read that an update to jelly bean might be available. Connected my phone via usb and it connected with all the features working accept the showing of the firmware option and option to check for updates. Note that i have already updated the phone using kies once. Can anyone help me with my problem here.
Thanks

I think we've been thru this already, but well:
JB update is not rolling yet.
I think I get your problem, but I just don't get your question.
Tried update/reinstall kies?

I updated/reinstalled it but still doesn't work. In fact this happened to me when i was on android 2.3.6 but somehow it went off by itself.
I get many of those problems with kies.
Thanks for the reply

np.
Now, you gotta clean your device's drivers from your pc. All you need is a clean uninstall right from the root and all should be fine.
Re-Download Kies from the samsung's site and let it update, reboot your pc and plug your device.
Might also wanna check another usb's socket/cable.
Hi,
I check here for the official updates for Samsung, and when I check it here, it still says there no official update yet released for SII.
Samsung has released Jelly Bean update for SIII only.

Sim card Slot doesnt look damage. So i think its a software issue.

I think you bricked your phone.
If it is unrooted then connect it to kies and install the latest android version 4.1.2 and then check this issue.
Or if it is not recognised by kies then go to sammobile.com click on firmware section choose your country and download the lastes firmware and flash it from odin. There are lots of guides available for flashing any official rom via Odin.
Good luck

Did you try to update it with kies. ?? As you have to install the firmware again.
If you have tried other sims than it sound like it's a hardware issue. Probably should send it in for repair.
