my phone is not working. if i on then it shows only Samsung galaxy S3. it does not go for further process, only show first screen.
PLEASE HELP ME
Try reseting your phone, vol up+home+ power and when you see samsung logo let the power button. Sometimes even rebooting from.samsungs recovery can help
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk
Had the same issue a couple of days ago, i just booted into recovery (CWM) and rebooted there, fixed it for me
if the above suggestions didn't help then the only solution is to replace the eMMC chip...You will need to go to a professional phone repair shop or if your capable of doing it yourself than you can purchase the pre-flashed (Android) eMMC chip from Aliexpress, just search for i9300 emmc chip...
I'll share the procedure that I used to restore my GS3 i9300 (International - 16GB).
It is loosely based on these tutorials:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/general/restore-to-stock-rom-galaxy-s3-i9300-t2187081 (try and use this one before thinking of doing mine)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1840030
WARNING: Following this guide will result either in a restored gs3 with stock firmware/kernel/recovery (your personal files will be lost) or a complete dead phone with no coming back. Procede at your own risk!
WARNING 2: THIS WAS TESTED ONLY ON THE INTERNATIONAL VERSION OF THE SAMSUNG GS3 i9300 16GB. THERE IS NO GUARANTY THAT THIS WILL WORK WITH OTHER MODELS!
1. Make sure you have the samsung drivers installed on your pc (http://bit.ly/SDaIIE)
2. Your device should have at least 50% battery left
3. You need a USB cable
Files needed :
1. Latest Samsung stock firmware (no-brand or your carrier's) ...you can download it from here http: // www. sammobile.com/firmwares/
(i.e: I used this version "I9300XXUGND5" )
2. Odin 3.07 - http://bit.ly/16aRzF4
3. The pit file for your device (the pit file is used to "destroy" and recreate the partitions of the internal memory)
( I used this version "GT-I9300_mx_20120329.pit" http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1702106&d=1359952989)
4. A bootloader (I chose this one "XXEMG5" http: // www. mediafire.com/download/bjixtwxmb26pcon/bootLoader_I9300XXEMG5.tar.md5)
Make sure you have everything ready and downloaded/installed on your computer before proceding further.
===========================================================================
1. Start by extracting the firmware zip file. You'll get a file with extension "*.tar.md5". Extract this file to get a folder named "*.tar"
(I used 7-zip to extract the files)
2. Extract the Odin zip file to get the "Odin3 v3.07.exe" file
3. Extract the Pit zip file to get the "GT-I9300_mx_20120329.pit" file
4. Power off your smartphone. Wait 5-6 seconds for vibration to confirm complete switch off.
5. Put your phone into "Download Mode" by pressing and holding Volume Down, Home and Power button simultaneously until the Samsung Logo appears. If asked, press Volume Up to confirm that you want to enter download mode.
6. Open "Odin3 v3.07.exe" as Administrator and connect your s3 to your computer with the usb cable
( You will get a message "Added" in the message box in odin and You should also see COM port with a number if you successfully added your device)
If you don't get this, try another usb port.. if it still doesn't come , reinstall Samsung drivers.
7. Click the "PIT" button and select the "GT-I9300_mx_20120329.pit" file
8. Click the "Bootloader" button and select the "bootLoader_I9300XXEMG5.tar.md5" file or equivalent
9. Click the "PDA" button and select the "I9300XXUGND5_I9300TIMGNE1_I9300XXUGNA8_HOME.tar.md5" file or equivalent
9. Click the "Phone" button and select the "modem.bin" file
10. Make sure that only the options "auto reboot", "re-partition", "F. reset time" and "NAND erase all" are selected
11. Click the "Start" button
Usually it takes between 5-10 minutes for the flashing process to complete.
Your phone will reboot, but it WILL NOT boot to the homescreen. After you receive a PASS message in Odin, pull the battery out...wait 5 seconds, put it back on and do the following:
1. Reboot into Stock Recovery (hold volume-up, home button, power button simultaneously until you see the Samsung logo)
NOTE: You WILL see the following error in recovery so don't freak out:
Code:
E:failed to mount /data (Invalid argument)
E:Can't mount /data/fota/ipth-muc.prop
E:failed to mount /data (Invalid argument)
E:Can't mount /data/fota/ipth-muc.prop
E:failed to mount /data (Invalid argument)
E:Can't mount /data/fota/ipth-muc.prop
2. Use the volume keys as arrows and select "Wipe data/factory reset" and press the power button to confirm. Select "Yes - Wipe data" and confirm
3. Do the same with "Wipe cache partition"
4. Reboot
Now your phone should boot up completely with no problems!

Android System Recovery <3e> after using Odin3 v1.00
All:
I used Odin3 v100 to load Android 2.2 ROM
I followed the following steps
i9000XXJP2 Instructions
1. Remove the battery from your phone
2. Remove the SIM Card and MicroSD Card from your phone
3. Place the battery back on the phone
4. Hold down the HOME button, Volume Down button, and Power On button
5. You should now see a Download screen
6. Open Odin 3 v1.0
7. Click on the button “PIT” and load the “s1_odin_20100512.pit” file
8. Click on the button “PDA” and load the “I9000XXJP2-REV03-PDA-CL464213.tar” inside of the firmware download’s .rar file.
9. Click on the button “Phone” and load the “MODEM_I9000XXJP2.tar” inside of the firmware download’s .rar file.
10. Click on the button “CSC” and load the “GT-I9000-CSC-MULTI-OXAJP2.tar” inside of the firmware download’s .rar file.
11. Click the checkbox next to: “Re-Partition”
12. Your settings should now look like Figure #2
13. Plug your phone into your computer with USB Debugging on
14. Look at the gallery below to see if everything is going right
15. Once done, your phone will boot up
And now the phone Rebooted and I get the following message “update media, plase waite E:Cant mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (invaild argument) E: copy_dbdata_media:Can't mount SDCARD: you storage not prepared yet. plase use UI menu for format and reboot actions. copy default media contenr failed.”
I have tried in vain to boot in the “Download Mode” to try and re flash the device and no luck.
I have tried using the following commands in SDK “C:\android-sdk_r06-windows\android-sdk-windows\tools\adb reboot-bootloader” and no luck
Am I hosed?
It seems to me that I need to reformat the internal SD Card but I cannot select any of the options in the Android System Recovery <3e>
The options I have are
Enter: OK Key, Select : Vol UP /Vol Down
Reboot system now
Applysdcard:update.zip
Wipe date/factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Format internal sd-card
The Volume rocket works to move between the above options but I can use the “OK” key nor any other to select an action
Anyone else run into this issue any thoughts?
I was going to try and see if I move the files to my extra SD card and see if this works but as I cannot select an action I am lost.
I have looked at the recovery (factory recovery option but as I mentioned I can not get to the Download mode.
Thanks in advance
Deadred
Try "adb reboot download".
You do know that flashing an i9000 froyo ROM makes your phone brick if you try to come back to a stock ROM, right? I see that you're looking at JP2, which might be early enough to avoid that, but I thought I should mention it. In the dev section, Eugene posted a non-bricking version.
thanks I will try this and let you know if it works

I am having the same problem. The OK key is not OK cause does not work. Nothing in the world can make the device enter in download mode. And, of course, the adb can not work because the device is not recognized by windows.
I had the same issue, if you boot your phone w/ usb plugged in, you can go into adb shell, however, that's as far as I can get, is there any chance I can fix my vibrant by exploit the unrooted shell?
I had a similar issue and fixed it.

Don't use Odin 1.0 Some of the newer roms state only use Odin 1.3 or above........... Use Odin 1.7
I'll happily admit that I'm a noob and I never should have done this. After having a couple of android fanatics puffing their chest out about how easy it was to toss Froyo on a phone, I tried it and now I'm stuck.
I have a Samsung Fascinate on Verizon's network. I follow the instructions I found and now I'm stuck staring at some boot up and recover screen. What I can't do is select any of the options give to me.
I'm starting at the following screen:

The biggest problem of what you wrote, is you followed the instructions of the wrong phone.
The verizon fascinate is the i500 not i9000. The verizon fascinate doesnt use the phone button on odin.
Odin this file for 2.2: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/sa...roms-w-root-new-clockwork-updated-2-11-a.html
Get the Full Stock Froyo Leak+root+Froyo Clockworkmod file, and once it successfully instals, you can instal different roms.
Would you be able to shoot me a private message with instructions a little more detailed? At this point, I'm absolutely paranoid about being in WAY over my head
You can use this thread to get back to rooted 2.2.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=977493
+1 to the post above me. You will more than likely need to use heimdall. (the hardest part is installing the drivers. Once you figure out how to do that it's similar to Odin)
At this point, you are extremely lucky to still have a course of action. Rarely does flashing that many files from another device actually leave you with an easily recoverable phone.
Good luck!
Since you used pda, you might still be safe, but I doubt you will be able to recover this. You are probably out of luck after this accident.
Oh dear.... you definitely did flash firmware for the wrong phone on to your phone.
Since you can still get into download mode you *might* have a shot. Definitely try that thread linked a few posts back. Flashing the firmware for the i9000 to a i500 might have done something screwy to your phone's memory partitions. The thread here has a .pit file which should repartition your phone's memory.
Please let us know if you do bring your phone back from the dead. Best of luck.

Installation Guide
1) Make sure you have the drivers installed
2) Extract ur firmware it to get its content which would be a .tar
3) Download Odin3 v1.85. Then, extract it to get these two required files – Odin3 v1.85.exe and Odin3.ini. Do NOT delete the .ini file since it’s required too. When asked in step 6 below, open Odin by double clicking on the Odin3 v1.85.exe file.
4) Disconnect your tablet if it’s connected to PC. Power it off. Wait 5-6 seconds for vibration to confirm complete switch off.
5) Now, put the Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet in Download Mode (also called Odin mode) — press and hold, until Samsung Galaxy logo appears — these keys together: Volume_DOWN + Power.
6) Wait till you a screen with options to boot into recovery or download (odin) mode.
7) Press Volume Up key to boot into download mode.
8) Open Odin (from step 3) — Odin3 v1.85.exe. Admin privileges would be required!
9) Connect your Galaxy tab 10.1 tablet to PC now. You should get the message “Added! !” under the Odin’s message box in the bottom left. And you should also see COM port with a number in Yellow. If you don’t get this message, then probably there is a problem with drivers. Make sure you’ve the right drivers installed!
10) Select these files in Odin at respective tabs.
11) Click the PDA Tab, and select the big .tar file “P7510XEUKL2_P7510XXKL2_HOME.tar.md5″
Important! Make sure these 2 check-boxes are selected: Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time. Also, leave the Re-Partition check-box clear (blank), as we are only using a .tar file or PDA file to flash.
12) Double check everything said in step 11.
13) Now, hit the START button to begin the flashing process. When it finishes, your tablet will automatically reboot — and you can unplug the cable when Galaxy logo appears. Plus, you’ll get a PASS (with green background) message in the left-most box at the very top of the Odin. If it’s red and with FAIL written over it, the process flashing process wasn’t successful, Try again, and take care to complete the whole process without any break whatsoever.

How do you get the drivers that work when the Tab is booted to ODIN? I've tried everything I can find and have been unable to get the correct drivers installed.

Install Kies and it should install the drivers. I'm pretty sure you can download them from samsung.com too. But when you use odin make sure that Kies is completely closed (even check in processes in task manager) or odin won't work

Hello everyone!
I have tried researching before asking for help, but I don't seem to find a solution.
I have today partitioned my SD (when will I ever stop fiddling I wonder? ) using CWM recovery.
I have lost access to my SD Card and cannot mount it any longer.
I have Googled today, and the advice was to flash a stock rom again ( I9100XWLPF_I9100OXILP6_I9100XXLPX_HOME.tar) and use the "clear storage" option.
So, I flashed 4.0.3 stock again.
Whenever I follow the steps highlighted here:
1. Shut the POWER OFF, take the battery out and put it back again.
2. Hold the Volume Down button
3. Briefly Press and release the Power button
4. A menu will then appears that let you allows for Fastbook, Recovery, Clear Storage, and Simlock
5. Select Clear Storage by pressing the Volume Down button
6. Quickly Press and release the Power button
7. Select Volume Up for YES and Volume Down for NO
I get into download mode instead.
What am I doing wrong? Why can't I get into the bootload menu I need?
Thanks ever so much to whoever offers help, it's much appreciated.
Fastboot isn't in the galaxy s2. Recovery and download modes are the only modes on this device.
You downloaded a stock ROM, which is most probably a .zip file. Extract it on your PC, you'll get a .tar file (don't extract any further).
Download Odin3 on PC.
Boot phone into download mode. Connect phone to PC, and open Odin. A yellow box should show which indicates that Odin has detected your phone. (If not, you need to download the drivers, search and you'll get them).
Select PDA button, and choose the .tar file and flash. Make sure repartition is unticked. Only things ticked should be f.reset (or similar) and auto reboot.

This thread is assuming you are on stock ROM and have Android and Samsung drivers on your computer.
Step 0: ALWAYS PREPARE STOCK FIRMWARE AS BACKUP FOR ODIN
...........Download your firmware according to your region
...........Also make sure you are on the latest firmware on your phone
Step 1: Unlocking bootloader [important]
...........step a: Enable Developer options
...........step b: Enable OEM unlocking [important]
...........step c: Power off the phone
...........step d: Connect the USB cable. While connecting, press and hold Vol+ and Vol-
...........step e: Press and hold Vol+ to enter device unlock mode. Press Vol+ again to
...................confirm. This will erase ALL data on your phone (including internal
...................storage) and reboot. You will now be greeted with a yellow warning.
...................This is normal everytime you reboot
...........step f: Complete the setup, enable Developer options again and look for OEM
...................unlocking option. It should be greyed out [important]. If not, just
...................connect to the internet for 10 minutes and it will reappear. Again,
...................it should be greyed out [important]
Step 2: Installing TWRP [mandatory]
...........step a: Download TWRP.tar, VBMetaDisabler.tar, MultiDisabler.zip, and
...................DisableDMVerity.zip. Put the .zips on your sdcard
...........step b: Power off the phone
...........step c: Connect the USB cable. While connecting, press and hold Vol+ and Vol-
...........step d: Press Vol+ once to enter Download mode
...........step e: On Odin, disable Auto Reboot [important], add TWRP.tar on AP, then
...................press Start.
...........step f: Once completed, remove USB.
...........step g: Press and hold Power and Vol- to turn off. IMMEDIATELY plug back USB
...................while pressing and holding Vol+ and Vol-. DO NOT LET THE PHONE RESET
...................OR YOU WILL HAVE TO DO THIS ALL OVER AGAIN
...........step h: When in Download mode again, go to Odin and add VBMetaDisabler.tar on
...................AP then Start.
...........step i: Once completed, remove USB.
...........step j: Press and hold Power and Vol- to turn off. Let go then IMMEDIATELY
...................plug back USB while pressing and holding Vol+ and Power to enter
...................recovery. At this point there will be a red warning. Don't release the
...................buttons until the red warning disappears. The device will reboot twice.
...........step k: Once inside TWRP, press Wipe then Format Data then type yes.
...........step l: Press home, press Install then select MultiDisabler.zip, Add more
...................Zips, select DisableDMVerity.zip, then Swipe to confirm Flash
...........step m: Press home, Reboot, Recovery
Step 3: Installing GSIs [repeatable]
...........step a: Download ChonDoeFlasher.zip, GSI of your choice, KakarotKernel.zip,
...................GApps.zip (optional), and add-ons of your choice. Once you
...................downloaded your GSI (.xz format), extract its .img and rename it to
...................system.img. Put the .img on your sdcard along with the other .zips. It
...................should be all on the same folder
...........step b: On TWRP, Press Wipe, Advanced Wipe, tick Dalvik, Data, and Cache,
...................Swipe to Wipe, then press home
...........step c: Press Install, select ChonDoeFlasher.zip, Add more Zips,
...................KakarotKernel.zip, Add more Zips, GApps.zip (if needed), Add more Zips,
...................your add-ons, then Swipe to Flash
...........step d: Once finished, press home, Wipe, Format Data, type yes
...........step e: Press Reboot System and welcome to the club
TROUBLEHOOTING
...........If you ever get stuck in a bootloop (Samsung logo appearing again and again) in
...........Step 1 or Step 2, wait until the cycle stops then hold Vol+ and Vol- while
...........connecting USB. On your PC, extract your firmware .zip. It should contain 5 .md5
...........files. On Odin, load these files according to their buttons (AP file in AP
...........button, BL file in BL button, CP file in CP button, CSC file in CSC
...........button). HOME_CSC file isn't needed and just leave the USERDATA button blank.
...........Enable Auto-reboot and press Start. Once it's finished, repeat step f of step 1.
...........If you ever get stuck in a bootloop in Step 3, wait until the cycle stops then
...........press and hold Vol+ and Power while connecting USB. Don't release the buttons
...........until the red warning disappears. It will take you back to TWRP. There, make the
...........necessary steps to fix the problem, which varies from GSI to GSI or from the
............zips that you flashed.

Am I missing something? TWRP for the 5G version doesn't exist yet, neither OrangeFoxRecovery. The link redirects you to the 4G version of the A52, not the 5G version. Using the 4G version of TWRP on the 5G version will probably cause bootloop. It makes this forum totally irrelevant, for now at least.
Ok, so for those who wanted to try it, I tried it by myself just to make sure I am not missing anything. The results:
Nothing happens when I tried to boot to recovery after installing both of the files(twrp and VBMetadisabler), worse than that, it actually caused my phone to brick, it just showed a weird menu that looks very similar to the download mode except it has black screen with samsung's logo and the red warning. I reflashed my stock firmware and tried again. I did it for 5 times, nothing works. I read the instructions very carefully(even tho there is not much detail that you can miss), I am having the same result. My conclusion is that this TWRP image which was made for the 4G version of the A52, CANNOT be used for the 5G version.
