s3 doesn't reboot after the 4.3 upgrade on the unlocked phone
Hi All,
Today, i updated my new unlocked Samsung galaxy s3 gt-9300 from JellyBean 4.1.2. to Official JellyBean 4.3 using below mentioned file
I9300XWUGML4_I9300ODDGML4_I9300DDUGMK1_HOME.tar.md5
After successful upgrade using the odin 3.07, the phone didn't reboot automatically. Instead, keeps on blinking the initial screen "Samsung galaxy s3 GT9300"
Please suggest me some ideas on how to resolve this issue, thanks
regards,
sanmani

Probably just need to do a factory reset. It's not uncommon to need to do that after an update, even when successful, because the Odin flash does not wipe data (unless otherwise noted).

Please let me know the steps to factory reset the phone, since the phone is not booting and i cant do literally anything(not even able to switch off the phone)
Pull the battery. Then pop it back in. Reboot by holding Vol Up + Home + Power and release when you see the blue letters at the top left about entering recovery. Volume buttons should navigate and I think Power selects or Home if it isn't Power. Haven't used the stock 3e recovery in awhile.

DO not know what to do need help it has been over 9hrs and nothing I tried work even cannot connect to kies
Can you access download mode? To do this, take out your battery first (to make sure your phone is off), put it back in, then hold the volume down + home keys while pressing the power button. Let go of the power button while still pressing the volume down + home keys and you should reach something that says 'download mode'. If you can reach that your phone is easily fixed.

As long as you can enter recovery or download mode (or both), you're in a position to fix this problem. Download a stock ROM, and flash via Odin.

Bootloop - you need to do factory reset.
My galaxy s3 has been stuck in safe mode for two days now which is frustrating as only the stock apps can be used. I have tried different solutions, which I list below.
How it happened.
I was initially on 4.1.1 and when I woke up I saw a notification to upgrade to 4.1.2, after that it did its thing and rebooted into safe mode.
solutions tried
1. Reboot - didnt work
2. take out battery for few minutes and reboot - didnt work
3. boot into stock recovery to try to factory reset phone, Volume button not working so cant select other option apart from reboot. - didnt work
4. Download stock rom from samfirmware and flash using odin - didnt work
5. Flash CWM using odin, didnt factory reset and flashed custom rom (omega). It boots into safe mode as well
6. Downloaded stock ics firmware, flashed using odin . it boots but stuck on samsung logo.
I dont know what else to do. Although am thinking downgrade the bootloader to one meant for ICS the try to flash to ICS stock rom again, would try this later in the day.
p.s Ignore more signature I own a galaxy s3 as well.
Switch off your phone..
Press the power button..
Once you see the logo screen press and hold the left capacitive button..

It's Volume button work fine??
The problem has nothing to do with reboot. As you can see have already mentioned reboot as part of the solutions I tried.
My device is fine with ICS firmwares but has issues with Jellybean (stock and modded rom including CM10.1). Currently am running ICS on it as thats the only way the phone works properly.
I installed 4.0.4 (XAALF2) via Odin, but it got stuck on samsung logo. Then turned it off and flashed CWM to do factory reset as the volume key doesnt work on stock recovery. After that everything worked fine. I was able to update to the latest 4.0.4 via OTA.
The problem is hardware, so you might want to contact Samsung.
I found some information about "Safe Mode".
It seems that every Android phone has a safemode.
"On Samsung’s devices, almost all users will be able to access Safe Mode with by pressing and holding the menu button during start up. If it’s a capacitive menu key, make sure to release and press again each time the LED under the key comes back on. You don’t want to miss the catch for Safe Mode because the button released itself."
Here is the link where i get the information: http://www.tested.com/tech/android/...ds-safe-mode-to-save-a-phone-from-boot-loops/
You can try it this way, maybe it will work.
Good luck.

I think u missing the point, the phone works fine with 4.0.4 firrmwares, it only get stuck in safe mode when updated to Jellybean 4.1.1 and above. No amount of key combination, factory reset or even custom rom was able to fix the safe boot.
The best option is to send it back to samsung, its definitely hardware issue.

I'am sorry for misunderstanding u. I think you could be right. Maybe it is a hardware issue.
Don't forget to "unroot" and reset the "flash counters".

i did a reboot and it removed the safe mode :good:
My personal experience, i overclocked my SGS3 with Boeffla kernel on ARHD then i got freeze screen and phone reebot into safe mode, I entered into recovery and reebot then everithing was fine again.
Safe mode occurs when something in the phone is not working properly , could be hardware or software, however, stuck on it is not a good signal.
my advice is to send the device to service.
Do not forget to reset flash counter via Triangle Away and flash stock factory firmware.
Good Luck! :good:
note 3 stuck in save mode window
This problem occurs after changing to a new simcard not already installed before in the device.
1. Power off the galaxy note 3.
2. Remove the micro simcard from the slot by sliding.
3. Power on the device without the simcard.
4. It will run in a normal mode, if so, this will actually diagnosed that there is a simcard defined by the administrator as default. In the security setting in setting menu and for protection against theft, the original simcard must be insert to unlock this choice of detection of any change in new simcard. New simcard is defined as strange and theft suspected.
I hope this make you reach some solution for your trouble.

Same issue here, it is hardware
I went through a lot of threads and not one had a solution. So I will post here what worked for me.
Customer came to my store with Galaxy S3 (SPH-L710T) that was stuck in safe mode. I tried everything on this thread, nothing worked. Luckily I had a older Galaxy S3 (SPH-L710) with a broken screen, so I switched over the motherboard from the customer's phone to the old one - I did connect the customer's original LCD to the motherboard since my old phone had its LCD broken. Powered it on, no safe mode.
So at this point I just transferred the volume buttons flex cable to the customer's phone. Powered it on, no safe mode again.
Hope it helps someone!
I'm getting a replacement for my phone, I'm currently using Safestrap with Hyperdrive rom v10. I can't access anything because the display and touchscreen is completely broken but galaxy s4 receives calls/texts. Is there a way to unroot/factory reset my phone that doesn't require my phones display to be on? I'm not sure exactly on what I should do since I'm new to this.

You'll need odin along with at factory stock ROM image.
Battery pull, then start up in bootloader mode:
> Hold down volume down and the home button, then press and hold the power button. (You're holding three buttons.)
> When the phone vibrates, release power, then release the volume/home buttons.
> Press volume up.
Now you're in bootloader mode.
Grab the factory ROM and Odin3 3.09 and start up ODIN. Plug in your phone and ODIN should recognize it.
Use the "AP" button to open the ROM you need to flash, wait until the MD5 is verified, then hit Start.
Probably the best ROM to flash is the MJ7 Emergency Recovery ROM as it'll wipe everything on your phone, including your personal data.

Yes, it does. All your data is gone, and it's running a fully stock ROM. You may need to boot it once to let it discover that it's not custom any longer.
hi, im new here, the problem i have is this: i have a galaxy s2 i777, i had the issue that whenever i restarted my phone it would go into recovery mode, that was after i tried to put cyanogenmod 10 in it, before that, my power button stopped working after trying to root with framaroot and choosing supersu and restarted, so i had to flash because i couldnt choose an option on recovery mode with my power button not working and i did, and flashed to 4.1.2, then i tried to root again with framaroot but this time superuser, and when i restarted the phone it got stuck on samsung, so i tried to flash it again but now im getting stuck on factoryfs.img with odin, ive tried with 3 different roms, ICS 4.0.3, 4.0.4 and JellyBean 4.1.2, but always the same, also, when i restart now i get the message "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery mode on kies".
havent found any solution in no forum wich is why im postin this here, its an emergency, im without a phone right now because of this!!
i hope you can help me!! Thanks.

You need to perform a wipe data/factory reset from within recovery. Since you have a bad power button, and cannot select that in stock recovery, you either need to get a touch recovery onto the phone, or you need to get the power button replaced. I'm not aware of a touch recovery that is in tar format that you can flash with Odin, but maybe someone else knows. Also, the recovery will need to match the system so that the phone will boot. Since you have flashed stock 4.1.2 but subsequent attempts to flash did not complete, you probably still have stock 4.1.2 on the phone. If so, that would require AJK v4.9 NoSwap, but again, I'm not aware of a tar version of that kernel.
Sorry I can't be of more help.
With regard to your other thread, there is a UCKH7 pit file in the Download Repository, but no one has posted a pit from UCMD8. I would expect that they are the same, though, since these phones never get repartitioned when upgraded. However, I doubt that will help your situation. What you need to do is perform a wipe data/factory reset.

If you can solder and are handy at such things, you can get the replacement button for about $10 or $15. Or you can send it out to a repair service for usually about $40 to $50.
While you have a faulty power button:
To turn the phone on, hold down vol+ and vol- and plug in the usb cable, as if you were starting download mode. When you get to the warning screen, remove the cable and press the vol- button to cancel. The phone will boot into system.
There are multiple apps in the play store that turn the screen on and off. A good one is Gravity Screen - On/Off.

Hi guys.
I seriously need help right now.
My friend bought an s2 i9100 in cheep which was stuck on bootloop and he thought it could be repaired.
so we don't know what caused the problem.
But i was surprised that few repair shops weren't able to fix it.
let me explain the problem:-
when we hold power button or plug in a charger it show the logo, goes into recovery and reboots repeating it in loop.
so whenever i charge it goes into this loop.
we can use volume up & down key in those 2-3 seconds in recovery but not the power key.
we can access download mode and it doesn't reboots automatically but going into recovery mode manually also start this loop.
it's like we are only going in recovery mode again & again.
i installed this file "I9100XWLPW_I9100ODDLPC_I9100DDLPB_HOME.tar.md5" through odin and also used the pit file "I9100_STOCK-System_2GB-Data_512MB-Preload.pit" but nothing changed.
i don't know what to do now.
i cant find any gingerbread rom to test.
i don't know how it can be fixed,
so please help me.
Update
After doing a lot of things I finally managed to boot into system but the problem is not solved.
I flashed i9100XXLSJ which had modem and CSC files other than the PDA only.
The device actually booted in system (just the samsung logo) but it was a bootloop.
This time I kept holding power button by which the bootloop stopped and it successfuly booted but power button is not working inside the system so I can't reboot, power off or even switch on the screen.
By holding down up vol + home + power for a considerable long time I can boot into recovery. But again the power button is not working so I can't select any option.
I flashed a cwm touch recovery which is working.
So can anyone tell me what is the problem here and what can I do to actually fix it.
If you have problems with flashing stock ROM, consider flashing a custom ROM, like Cyanogenmod.

Try flashing the 4.1.2 JellyBean leak ROM via ODIN linked in this thread (scroll down to you see "Another option for i9100"):
[GUIDE][Troubleshoot a failed Odin flash]
This will factory reset the device which may hopefully resolve your problems.

Actually the ROM you are talking about is the ROM which I flashed which is mentioned in my second post " update".
PDA = CODE_I9100XXLSJ.tar
PHONE = MODEM_I9100XXLS6.tar
CSC = CSC_HOME_OXX_I9100OXXLS1.tar.
That's how I got this far, previously it was impossible to boot into system.

In CWM touch recovery, you can swipe (or touch) to confirm the option.
Try factory reset. Reboot.
If that doesn't help, try wiping system, cache and data.
Let me know how that goes

Wiping data/factory reset and cache doesn't solve the problem.
There is format option in 'mounts and storage' so I formated system, data, cache & also emmc. But the bootloop is not gone. The only thing that is gone is the ROM because of those formats. I have yet to to install the ROM again.
maybe is a faulty power button... Do u have to push it down a little harder than normal?

It might be the problem of power button. Sometimes it boots as soon as I put the battery. It always boot when I plug in charger. Sometimes it boots after I press and hold the power key for maybe 15 second & sometimes it doesn't boot when holding power key & I have leave hold again to boot it. And important thing is when it boots, I have to hold the power key until the key lights up to stop it from bootloop but then the power is Jo longer functional in system. Same goes for recovery. But this is the only till nowROM which actually boots into system. Other ROMs were booting into recovery automatically.
I wanted to test cyanogenmod but I am not able to install twrp. I followed the steps here using HeimdallSuite https://twrp.me/devices/samsunggalaxys2i9100.html
I had no problem in the steps but the recovery is not actually replaced when I boot into it.
The recovery that I have currently is not able to flash isorec_twrp or any cyanogenmod directly. It always shows error code 7.
I am going to replace the power button with my friend's s2 (other friend who have an s2 laying around) only to see it works.
Anyways tell me how to install twrp successfuly.
The actual power button needs to soldered, I thought It would be a connector, so I am not going to do that. But as far as I can tell, the plastic button isn't the problem.

And important thing is when it boots, I have to hold the power key until the key lights up to stop it from bootloop but then the power is Jo longer functional in system. Same goes for recovery. But this is the only till nowROM which actually boots into system. Other ROMs were booting into recovery automatically.
I wanted to test cyanogenmod but I am not able to install twrp. I followed the steps here using HeimdallSuite https://twrp.me/devices/samsunggalaxys2i9100.html
I had no problem in the steps but the recovery is not actually replaced when I boot into it.
The recovery that I have currently is not able to flash isorec_twrp or any cyanogenmod directly. It always shows error code 7.
I am going to replace the power button with my friend's s2 (other friend who have an s2 laying around) only to see it works.
Anyways tell me how to install twrp successfuly.

Since I was on leaked JB firmware, what I did was to install philz recovery via android stock recovery, then install latest dorimanx isorec recovery/kernel, then install TWRP...

The actual power button needs to soldered, I thought It would be a connector, so I am not going to do that. But as far as I can tell, the plastic button isn't the problem.
