What isn't working? Did it flash successfully but not boot? Just do a factory reset. If it didn't flash completely, then you have to let us know what happened before it failed.

Ok, so typically when people say they flashed a rom, that means a custom version through a custom recovery. But you said earlier you tried to install through Odin. This is an important distinction. If you tried to flash a custom rom and it didn't work, then flashing the correct stock firmware through Odin will resolve. If you flashed through Odin and it gave you that warning, then you need to find the right one and re-try.

Yup what i tried to do is flash an arabic rom instead the Chinese stock one but if failed on the phone it said invalid at the end so if i flashed the Chinese stock one back from odin will it work or not

Yes, flashing the original firmware via Odin should get you working again.

will it work if i used samsung kies recovery

Possibly, but if the system had already been modified, I find Odin to be a more reliable fix.

Don't panic,follow the steps:
1-Root e recovery with cf-root
2-download rom ( zip.packages) If you see any error messages or the procedure stops, then the packet of cooked rom may be corrupted.
Re-download and re-install from the beginning..
3-If the first boot takes more than 20-30 minutes, manually restart the phone by removing the battery or by pressing and holding for 10 seconds the power button.
If the problem persists, perform a hard reset .
4-If the phone restarts all the time, back in recovery mode and re-install, also performing the hard reset.
5-If your phone will not boot up, go into download mode and try to install a firmware via odin, performing a hard reset.
i tried installing a stock rom then flashing over that i have installed a ics one and jb one...didn't work...the problem is not with the booting itself but with the flashing like i said every rom flashes in like 5 seconds...it tells me it;s done and everything went fine but when i reboot i can't get past the samsung logo before the boot animation, so practically the rom doesn't flash...i dont know why...odin works great....but i can't flash through CWM. I wanted to try TWRP recovery also but i can't seem to find one for the international version of SGS3...Please help:crying:
Flash via recovery requires CF Root ,
ROOT
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1684535
Odin flash is much longer than 5 seconds and short flash is probably wrong file /faulty file .
jje
i have flashed cf root after flashing stock roms both jb and ics and it didint work...i tried to flash like 7 different roms in ics both based on jellybean and ics...i wiped all everytime...

I really don't think the ROM caused your recovery to not work correctly. Have you tried a different recovery, likE https://play.google.com/store/apps/...DEsImNvbS5mcmFnZ2VsLnJlY292ZXJ5ZXhlY3V0ZXIiXQ..

Use a different/older recovery..if you are using touch version use the non-touch version of vice-versa..just flash the recovery tar file in Odin..
make sure phone is gt9300

There is some protection with some cwm that allow script only with ROM Manager
as you can see there is no error in the log, so i can't do nothing.
Now try to ADB Push a ROM to your phone.....

S3 does not flash a new image

Hey there,
I just got some problems with my S3.
Its the international EUR Version. I9300.
Came from Cyanogen MOD and has TWRP Recovery installed.
Now I tried to flash a new rom, but Log says "Failed". Seems because of Permissions.
See my LOG attached. My Image I want to flash:
EUR-I9300XXUGNG3-20140901145954
Is the file suitable for flashing in recovery, or was it supposed to be via odin?
Is your recovery the latest version?
Try using mobile Odin.
This was a good information.
I just installed the stock rom, but it keeps rebooting....

Flash back to stock with Odin and don't forget to factory reset after flashing or you could even try flashing PhilZ recovery with odin boot into PhilZ after flashing and factory reset see if that works if not flash stock and start again.

Quite possible but have you tried all the options first like (1) flashing back to stock with Odin also if you have flashed back to stock with Odin did you factory reset after flashing? (2)rescue firmware (only use as last resort because it containes a pit file)

Hi tallman just got my SIII back from samsung service center, they said ther is an I C not working, but now justried to flash philz recover Odin failed to ans it says something non Pit file something like that.
If an IC isn't working then pay for the repair or buy a new phone, flashing won't fix a dead chip.

G920F soft bricked

Hello
I have had a look around the forum and i can't seem to find my answer.
I tried to install CrissCross 6.01, all was good untill it got stuck in a boot loop due to an issue with the kernal. I can't get into recovery and wipe the device.
I have tried to use a stock rom, but would i be correct in saying that because the boot loader has been updated to 6.0 I can't use a 5.1.1 recovery?
I have been trying to fix this for 3 days now with no luck, if anyone has any idea what i can do I would really appreciate it.
Thanks
Stuart

I can get into download and that is where I have tried a few different stock Roms
The error I get is SV Rev. Check Fail Device : 3 Binary :1 in Odin and from my understanding that is because I'm trying to use a rom that is trying to downgrade the boot loader
I think I need a 6.0 stock rom for this to work but I are t sure
Edit one more thing that confuses me is it will let me flash a 5.1.1 twrp but it still won't let me into recovery.
Thanks
Have you tried to flash bootloader / kernel via Odin?
Try to flash older TWRP, also, via Odin then try to flash 5.1.1.
I'm not 100% sure but I doubt you can flash 5.x.x ROMs from newest TWRP.
Try few things with older recovery and kernel, that shoud wake the device.
As long as you can access download mod you can save your device.

Thanks for the reply.
I have only flashed twrp in download mode not touched any kernels. I thought you could only flash a kernel I twrp that's why
Do you have any suggestions as to which kernel and twrp ?
I had same problem yesterday..
I flashed CrisCros ROM for S6 edge and bump into bootloop.
I just restarted device to download mode, flash kernel via Odin (in BL) and all went well.
You have kernel in OP of CrisCross ROM, that's 6.0.1 kernel, flash it and twrp via Odin, restart to recovery and flash ROM.
That should be enough and your device should boot.
You see, there's no bricked device as long as you can flash, fastboot or sideload something to you device..

Finding device info

Hi i was wondering if there is a way i would be able to find out information about my device such as the bootloader id so i can find the correct stock rom for my boot looped samsung s6 edge. Is there a way to view crash/bug reports i have sent to google play previously as they normally hold that type of info

Did you tried to wipe cache, dalvick on recovery mode?
And it should written at your phone package
S6 edge is G925
But have models
Like G925F or S(don't remember exactly, you should check it)

Thanks for the reply. My phone is stock so didn't have a custom recovery. Also i checked the box but it doesn't tell you the info about the bootloader that you need to dowload the correct stock rom

No need to twrp
Just go to stock recovery mode and wipe cache partition and wipe cache/reset factory
Do both
Last night my friend has same problem as you
It solved

Wait Wait!
A Little confused
So yours is G925A
1-Did you flashed stock rom via Odin?(G925A)
2-Did it passed?
3-Did you use latest Odin?

No it's a G925F.
1.Yes i used odin to try and flash stock rom but it failed.
2. No
3. Yes i used the latest and a few other versions that people said worked best but had no luck with any 9f them
Can flashing your phone take up more storage on your device because i have tried around 3 different roms and know i didn't have much storage left so could this be why odin will no longer flash?
I'm just wondering if there is a way to find the phones baseband version so i can get the correct stock rom
