(*Here's how the whole story started.) So I recently wanted to update my Galaxy S3, and for some reason the Baseband Version was different from other AT&T Galaxy S3 Devices. So, after I brought it in to Best-Buy they said they can't fix it, even though I contacted Samsung and they told me they could flash it with this ''SMART'' Tool (Which Probably is Odin3) Rooted or Not. I was tired of trying to fix this because, I was on 4.0.4 Ice-Cream Sandwich, and my friends bragging about the 4.4 KitKat Update they received. I literally tried everything, from clearing the Google Services and the AT&T Software Update on the Application Manager. I had the Baseband Version: I747UCLF5. I was tired of not getting the update, so I just flashed the Original ROM from Samsung-Updates, using Odin3. Samsung-Updates had only 4.1.1 Jelly-Bean, so I thought about just updating from Jelly-Bean.
(*Here's how the Samsung Galaxy S3 wouldn't turn on), and was stuck on a boot-loop.) So, continuing the story, I successfully updated to 4.1.1. Jelly-Bean. So, when I was on the 4.1.1 Jelly-Bean I checked for updates, and I successfully updated to 4.3 Jelly-Bean. Yes, I know that the 4.4 Kit-Kat update was out, so I continued updating the phone via OTA. When it finished, it started updating with AT&T Logo on top and the Percent with the Bar on the bottom. After it reached 100%, it was rebooting crazy. The Samsung logo went on and off and the phone went vibrating every second. I'm pretty sure my power button is not broken and when I put it in Recovery-Mode the same updating process came. (AT&T Logo, Loading Bar with Percent and a message saying ''Updating...''). Ever since that day, I re-charged it and I put it in Recovery-Mode, and same thing happens and when it finishes it's doing the boot-loop. I tried putting it in Download-Mode and tried to flash it with Odin3, but it didn't work at all. It had this error message. I'm pretty sure the Boot-Loop is caused by a Locked Boot-Loader. This is What it says in Download Mode.

Please try to help me with my situation. I am currently using a older phone, and I am desperate of getting my phone back. Thanks! Anything will Help!

i bought a new galaxy s advance few days back, less than even a month. It came with stock gingerbread 2.3.6. As there was no update available over the air, so i tried to update it via samsung kies. Well, updating was in progress and my phone was in downloading mode already. During half the process of downloading, suddenly my windows crashed due to some blue screen error. When I restarted the phone, it just kept on starting again and again. So, tried recovering it via odin back to gingerbread. But after flashing, it only get stuck at Samsung Galaxy S Advance logo. No recovery mode, no boot, just a damn logo. And downloading mode is working too. Don't know what to do now!! Plz Help!!!
Service center
take your phone to the service center and only tell them that the update to jelly bean via kies failed
I have a Samsung Galaxy S 4G ( CANADIAN VERSION 'MOBILICITY' ) SGH - T959W running Gingerbread 2.3.6 NOT T-Mobile and I tried to change the OS to Jelly Bean
In the process I went back to the eclair stock I believe using odin, where the phone passed and It rebooted but the phone kept getting stuck on the loading battery and the "Samsung Vibrant" load screen. I wasn't able to get any further from that. Now I got instructions to do it all over but I have not installed anything on my SD card because before during the rooting process it didn't tell me to do so until after. Now I can't even get passed the boot screen to do anything with my phone. I looked around to see if I can get my phone back to the way it was and I came up with a solution and used it on odin but now when I boot my phone it says Samsung Galaxy S 4G powered by TMOBILE..I don't want that ! I am still able to get to the Download Screen.
Is there anyway I can get my phone back to the way it was running SGH-T959W (Gingerbread 2.3.6) ? or can someone please help me complete the process of getting my phone into Jelly Bean like I tried to do. SGH-T959V is practically the same as the SGH-T959W it's just the Canadian Version on the network Mobilicity.
So I keep getting a notification for my sprint galaxy s3 for 4.3 update, My phone is rooted, and when i try to update it, it says signature verification failed, and failed to verify whole file-signature.and it just reboots and goes back to the way it was. can someone help?
Hey
Your phone is rooted so u cannot get ota updates from your service provider..u need to be unrooted and also your download mode needs to be set to 0..
Also this is the i9300 forum..check your device specific forum..

Hello everybody,
I own a Galaxy S9+ (SM-G965F) and out of nowhere, it no longer boots. It is stuck on a black screen with red writing on the top saying "Only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed."
I did not root my device or anything at all. I have looked online for help, and have tried reinstalling the latest stock firmware i found here in xda (G965FXXU2BRJ3 and G965FXXS2BRJ3) using Odin3 v 1.13.1, and still no luck.
I can only access download mode (odin mode). Can't enter recovery mode at all and it doesnt boot at all to show the Samsung s9 logo.
Any help will be appreciated as I need access to my phone asap as I am expecting to hear back from jobs I applied to. Thank you very much..
By the way; I am not a techsavvy person.
only official released binaries are allowed
im having the same issue with my galaxy s8. did you figure anything out?
