soft bricked S3- PLS HELP! - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I'm trying to get an i9300 back to the land of the living. It started with just hanging on the Samsung logo, I booted into recovery and got the following errors:
I've tried to flash stock with Odin, and although it said successful the errors persist.
Any ideas?

Try the rescue firmware thread, flash with the included pit file and follow the instructions.

No dice. Everything installs fine but get the same errors. I've tried 4.1.2 and 4.3, both result in the same situation.

Time for a new phone, sorry.

[Help] Bricked my 10.1v - Recovery won't install

Hi there,
I hope there ist somebody here who could help me.
I was about to install the lates CyanogenMod on my Tablet and kind of screwed up.
My tablet was rooted, but had some problems installing a Recovery-Image. So I installed the stock Rom (3.0.1) and tried to flash CyanogenMod again. Installting everything via Odin works fine, but when I try to boot into recovery it won't work. So I tried to install the recovery image from the CyanogenMod-Wiki via fastboot. At this point the Tablet schows following error:
Code:
Failed to process command getvar: partition-type : recovery error (0x2)
I had the problem before, when my tablet was rooted, that I could not install the recovery via the Rom Manager...
So I thougt that I might have screwed up my partitions at some point. I went on a hunt for the Pit file and then to install stock Rim with the Pit file again. Well I did find a Pit file which is supposed to work for my tablet. But now everything is screwed up. It will not start anymore at all. Either it ist stuck on the Samsung boot screen or it shows an Android with the exclamation mark and doesn't do anything anymore...
This ist the Pit file which ist supposed to work:
Code:
android_fastboot_emmc_full_p4_16G_32G.zip
Has anyone got a working Pit file für the P7100?
Does the Pit file even fix my partition problem?
Is there a way to manually partition the tab and if yes has anyone got a guide?
I hope there ist someone here that can help me. I would really appreciate it! I know I screwed up badly on this one :crying:
Thanks to everyone taking time to help me in advance.
You might try doing stock image to open if you can get to the recovery and just do a full wipe. ....or try opening your stock recovery if you can and just do a factory reset wipe everything

Thanks for your quick response.
On rare occasion I do get into the recovery and did a full wipe of erverything. I even tried to format all the partitions. On some partitions it just said, that it can not format them. I also reinstalled the stock rom a couple of times as well.
Nothing of this worked so far. I am always stuck on the boot screen or the android with the exclamation mark (after I factory reset ist or reinstalled the stock rom)
Edit: When I boot (not flash) the recovery via fastboot I can get into the downloaded recovery from CyanogenMod.
I tried a little more yesterday to revive my tab...
When I flash the stock rom in download mode via odin, it starts afterwards to a screen with the android and the exclamation mark. At this screen I can press the power and volume + button a couple times and then I am in the stock recovery. Tried every option in there, but it just wont helpt. Afterwards it ist stuck on tying to boot into recovery.
When I don't press the power and volume + button and just wait after flashing stock rom, the tab will reboot after a while and gets into a boot loop with the samsung boot screen...
Tried flashing a recovery rom from clockwork as well, but afterwards I am not able to boot into it. My guess is, that the partitions are screwed up and therefore the tab can not boot... Is there a way to manually partition my tab? Can anyone post the partition table for the P7100 (Galaxy Tab 10.1v)?
Oh yeah... Everything started after I flashed the last nightly from CyanogenMod. That was the first time the tab got stuck on the boot screen and ever since can not get past it.
I scared that I completely broke my tab now and wont be able to get it back :crying:
If your thread name is correct you have a 10.1v if I am correct the code name for it is P3 but the Odin file you posted I assume is for the P4 because of its naming. If it is so the you have flashed the wrong stock firmware image for your tab. You have used 10.1 Wifi and 3G model firmware on a 10.1v. Your tablet could be seriously screwed up but there is still hope if you can get into download mode.

You are right. I have the P3 and flashed the P4 PIT-file. I have read on a couple sites, that the P4 ist as well the right one for the P3 and haven't found another PIT-file just for the P3.
I only started using the PIT file after my bootloop problem started, which was directly after flashing CyanogenMod (nightly). The version I downloaded was supposed to work all right on my tab, but did screw it up. Do you have any idea which part of my tab could be screwed up and what I could try?
I think it is the partitions and I flashed the stock rom for the 10.1v (3.0.1) a couple times (with and without the P4 file)...
I am getting all right into download mode, but can only get into the recovery directly after flashing the stock rom. After one mor restart I can't access the recovery anymore...

You flashed stock firmware with Odin, was the flash successful ?
If you need to use recovery, flash TWRP or Philz, CWM is not updated anymore
Try flashing one of the firmwares in this thread.
yeah as far as odin was concerned the flash was successful and set the phone to reboot, but it still just hung at the samsung logo, and right ok im a bit out dated using cwm then it's been a while :Lthanks for the links i'll give it another crack now
thanks again

i've tried flashing CM and MIUI using the two recoveries you linked, still no joy. The download links for the firmware doesn't work but i found an equivalent that also has bootloader, csc files etc and still no joy, odin does it's business and says in green pass at the end of it all but it still hangs on the samsung logo, even when i installed miui, it would install all as planned, but then on the reboot it just hangs at the MIUI logo.
i'm lost completely i've never been defeated by a phone :L

Why don't or can't you flash any rom specific to your variant in TWRP that you now have?

Try this one
http://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?record=2020C76552DC11E6B055FA163EE8F90B
The dm verity fail error is usually because the efs files/folder has become corrupt. So if he gets this phone back on there is a good chance the Imei is lost, therefore will be unable to use SIM card/calls and texts.
Try the firmware I posted and report back.
EDIT: first before any flashing tell me what region he is?
What firmware did he flash?
In recovery wipe data/cache... does the phone boot up?

Galaxy S7 bricked after flashing CF-autoroot (Bootloop)

Hi and merry christmas,
i got a new Galaxy s7 und tried to install a custom ROM, so I flashed CF-Autoroot and ODIN gave me a green light so that one should have passed well. Then after a reboot i hard-shutdowned it because it got stuck in the samsung animation. The result is a bootloop. To fix that I wanted to get back so stock and I tried to flash the sock ROM and all that stuff, but ODIN gives me en error - it failed. KIES doesn't work either and I have no idea how to unbrick it now, so hopefully someone here can tell me what to do to get it running again. btw the goal is just Stock system now.
Thanks, Chris

Uninstall Kies and install Samsung Smart Switch.
You can download from here :
http://www.samsung.com/global/download/smartswitchwin/
And do as is shown in this video :

If you still have the problem , flash again your phone with odin and this time flash also with pit file . Search on the internet for your model .
And also do Wipe Cache Partition .
Good Luck
