1. The galaxy hangs during normal work(it had custom ROM but was working fine for years), the display showed messed up image and was unresponsive, had to remove the battery(so it was caused by bug or flash storage error).
2. The galaxy could no longer be booted, it was stuck on Samsung Galaxy S II screen and in bootloop(if the flash storage partitions are bugged, I guess it can't boot the SPL and the device is stuck in the main bootloader, is it located in separate ROM chip or in the storage flash chip?).
3. It couldn't boot to recovery, only to download(odin) mode(again I guess it's part of the bootloader on the separate rom chip).
4. Tried to reflash, had to interrupt the operation because it didn't started at all(no progress on NAND write flash).
5. Tried to repartition with .pid file, again no progress with the operation.
6. After that, the device is completely dead, we tried removing the battery, using the charger and other common stuff but it can't be started anyway.
So can the failed repartition/flash operations bug the ROM bootloader so when you press the power button the CPU can no longer execute any instruction(I guess it's hardwired to some init instructions in the bootloader).
Any information about the internal storage chips or any ideas what to do?
Same problem here
Hi I've got the same problem with my phone since i've updated my cm13 on sgs II phone seemed to be working perfectly but around month later woke up and saw that my phone stuck on samsung logo (Same as your did) what i've done was restart to see is it works or recorvery boot up but nothing seemed to be happening. After some time decided to reinstall OS using odin but phone been comp[letely inresponsible to what i've tried to put on it (always been stuck on Nand write start (tried everything)). I tried to repartition it again but after that same as your phone died without any sensible reason. I "temporary" fixed it by pealing off the motherboard specific conductor. It even boot up but afterr that i runned out of charge died again. I can feel that phone is starting to be warm just like it's working but i still have black screen of death, so is there anybody who might actually help with this thread ?

I installed Chainfire3D (after hearing good things about it) and then realized the problems it causes, so i deleted the app and then its CF3D drivers from system/lib which didnt work properly anyways. Upon restart device doesnt boot anymore :crying: (welI maybe its on cause the battery generates heat, but its black screen) I also couldnt get titanium backup to work in the past just in case something like this happens cause it was constantly stuck on yahoo finance when backing up.
My main issue is I had alot of things (worth a couple days) installed on my phone, and dont want to lose all of it. Bad thing i didnt realize there is Nanadroid backup (cause its my first android phone) which works unlike titanium quickly and efficiently, but backing things up now after black screen is pointless no? i can acess CWM recovery, but dont want to factory reset yet.
So any way to inject those stupid CF3D drivers via ADB? Or maybe backup everything but that certain system/lib folder?
Edit: i ran into this:
On CF-Root just boot into recovery, ADB shell to it, and type "rootsh" (instead of "su") to have root shell access... if anything goes wrong, just "mount /system" and "/system/lib/cf3d_uninstall.sh" to remove the CF3D driver and restore the old one. Not very likely it will happen, but a good fallback option in case of issues (no need to reflash firmware or restore backup)

, unfortunately cf3d_uninstall.sh was one of the files i deleted, but maybe if someone who has Chainfire3D installed on S3 LTE can share that file, i can then inject it and restore the old drivers?
Seems mine suffered a similar fate.
a friend suggested SPB 3D loaded it. It sucked and caused lock-ups and delays. I uninstalled and the phone seemed to be fine after.
I plugged the phone in to charge overnight and about an hour later when going to bed the screen was stuck on the boot-up screen.
has not gone past this since.
Wanted to get the firmware restored and after trying to find a suitable stock one I took it to my SP for repair they tried to flash it but it fails every time, they said the motherboard is toast.
It will boot to flash mode so it can be uploaded but it doesn't work. Odin says no partitions.
Tried Heimdall it detects the phone but it tells me the image is corrupt and I also have no idea how to repair the partition that seems to be lost.
white 16GB Tmoble GS3
Actually my current issue is similar, it boots up says galaxy S3 then black screen. I can connect to odin, i can boot into clockwork, and i can flash roms, ODIN says everything is successful after i flash but when it boots it still goes to a black screen. this happened after i flashed a rom(that worked) and flashing a kernel that also previously worked....after that its been stuck....i can flash whatever with success but i cannot seem to get it past that Galaxy S3 screen....
I flashed the new FreeGS3 rom, and the TGST STOCK ICS Alpha37 kernel i cleared caches and wiped davliks not too sure where to go from here.....Do i need factory tmoble GS3 PIT file?

Well thing is on my end...i didn't flash whatever the OP had flashed. What i DID do though is flash a rom and a kernel on the same cwm event. when it rebooted...it just does this....
i have a backup file....its on my laptop though....with only using odin or cwm how can i push that file onto my phone? My CWM doesnt have USB mount else id just do that.....?
Hi.....One day my galaxy 5 accidently fell down, though from a small height.....its battery came out. And after i reconnected the battery and started the device.....It started and worked normally...(btw i am using cm 10.1 v0.2)until some time and suddenly got frozen..everything on screen was as it was, i waited for almost half an hour but nothing happened.....no hardkeys worked...nothing....i had to pull out the battery and restart and again same happened.....i reflashed rom....after reflashing same rom (cm 10.1 v0.2) i got booted successfully and phone ran smooth as before but after i installed some apps it once again got frozen...and i tried cm 7 also and same happened.Not only in roms but it also gets stuck in recoery sometimes while restore or backup or flashing zip. One thing i noticed was it gets frozen when many apps start at once....I tried to flash official rom with odin but it went into bootloop and didnt even booted......PLZ helpp me...!! I saw this type of problem happened in S3....which is named Galaxy s3 suddon death syndrome and in that problem what happened was that a block in data partition(int. Memory) gets corrupted and when phone comws to write on that block it gets frozen and we have to pull out battery to start the device...I am trying the solution given there which is Dummy file generator but as soon as i start generating dummy files it gets frozen and after 2 to 3 tries, even the rom does not boot up......So please help me to solve this sudden freeze problem......I am really annoyed as i cat use my mobile....PLZZZ Help...
Hi, got some difficulty flashing.
Just trying to flash liquid smooth onto my old s3, but having some difficulty.
Previously loaded with a temasek rom and with devil recovery, pretty sure that the partitions had been reformatted to f2fs to boot. Well, I tried to reformat the partitions to ext4, complete wipe, install rom, gapps and then wiped cache and dalvik. Tried many times to boot, got it to load once but resulted in an unresponsive touchscreen (still works in recovery though). I didn't do anything specific to get it to boot this time, it just hung on the Samsung screen for over 10 minutes, saw a liquid smooth writing (which I thought was a boot loop) for about 20 minutes and then the intostart screen but unresponsive. Needless to say something isn't right, and it can't take half an hour just to reboot the phone!
I would go through odin, and start from scratch, but it's no longer my phone and the phone is no longer recognised by my pc (I guess the connector has been damaged, I had to get the volume buttons repaired this morning just to access recovery!). It can charge, just not specified under device manager on the pc... therefore can't seem to use odin at the moment.
Question is does anyone have a solution? Is there a specific recovery (do you have to use TWRP)? or am I doing something wrong? I've loaded lollipop onto my xperia z2, and a friends galaxy s4 but I'm facing issues with the s3... I have no idea why it just won't boot but if anyone could give me a hand it would be greatly appreciated! I've been banging my head against the wall for hours now! The only way I can get the phone to work again is to restore from my backup... something is definitely wrong here but for the life of me I can't figure out what!
Hi Everybody, excuse me for my english
I am new in this forum, I go to talking about my experience in my case ,I have changed the touch screen it was broken, it this was 2 months ago and it worked very well, however one week ago this frozen screen , touch screen don't response , turn off and remove battery. then turn on and just begin and stop in animacion Galaxy Trend s7560m ,i tried some times and again the same , then i did the next pass
1. - i tried to do hard reset/ factory mode -- I can not get into that mode
2 - Downloading mode -- yes then I installed proper drivers for samsung, installed Odin3 and Firmware for galaxy trend s7560m.
I made the flashing with successful, when end my cell was working well.
This just worked for 5 hours about then the same frozen screen and stuck in boot, I went back to the same old process, and nothing Odin finished with PASS! however cell stuck in boot.
When connect the cell to AC current with the charger this don't charge just turn on and stuck in boot loop one and other , remove the battery and carge a multicharger until fully charged then try remove the battery and multicharger carge a charge until then try again fully loaded firmware and run , after a few days the same again .
I found a way to make it work only when this happens is to put the phone in downloading mode and connect the USB to the computer until a sound is heard connected dipositive wait a minute disconnect the power cell and ready works again without loading firmware , this only works with a limited battery that is only works if you have approximately 70% battery.
I not find way to do to work properly
Does anyone have a similar case? or any ideas will be taken into account
Thank you for taking the time to read this.
So i have a galaxy s5, was running Cyanogenmod 12
my phone was freezing and rebooting then eventually it was stuck and would only boot into download mode
so i cut my losses and flashed stock 4.2 and 5.1.1 (files from samMobile matched model number) and the problems persist
cleared cache and factory reset multiple times and booting in safe mode doesn't fix anything
the phone freezes on samsung splash screen usually mid animation, sometimes i get to tmobile screen when it freezes.
sometimes it will boot without any problems and work normally for a few seconds then freeze and shut off into the same loop
i have searched and can't find any advice past (flash stock and your good )
oh and knox counter 0X1 (2) so no warranty for this guy.
What a helpful forums
I would recommend taking out your sim card and memory card before doing a factory reset. Once done let it boot and see what happens. If it works ok aka boots fine let it sit for 10 min. Now power it down and put your sim card in only and boot up again. Wait the 10 mins again to see if anything happens. If all good power off and put the memory card back in and repeat. Also do not sign into your google account while doing this. Do not sync anything. Just do it bare bones. If everything seems to go well, then you can slowly start putting stuff on and syncing things. when you notice it starting to happen undo the last thing you change/added. Hope that helps. And remember to be nice. Sometimes it takes a while to get help. Being rude isnt the answer pal. Good luck and hope you had a good holiday.

after all that, doesnt it sound like a problem with hardware? sure is a lot like when a pc is malfunctioning (due to overclock or damage, etc)
my only ideas are try turning it on in cold weather, plugged into wall power, & an extreme case... maybe modifying a kernel to give a little more voltage to the cpu & gpu... the idea is a bit out there, but again with the pc example, there's a chance for it to do the trick, but also chance to accelerate damage IF it's entirely based on usage (but if it's dying already, there's no going back)
my pc gpu failed in an interesting way a few years ago, i was playing limbo of all things, not a demanding game, capped at 60fps, then the whole system froze randomly, so i restart, start game again, froze again, think i had one more go until artifacts appeared on screen & it froze/bsod'd as soon as the driver loaded, a clear hardware death
Same Problem
