Thanks to anybody who'll help.
Sorry for my bad english, I'm not from country where they speak english.

Well,for it not wanting to flash in Odin is the cause of SDS(Sudden Death Syndrome) but I don't know why you have stripes and dots on your screen.
Basically,your phone is hard-bricked and there is no way to fix it.

So http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/general/galaxy-s-iii-gt-i9300-hard-brick-fix-t1916796 or JTAG won't fix it?

Graphical errors are usually caused by faulty hardware.
I wish I stole my HTC M9.

Oh, thanks.
I didn't want to hear that, but thanks

FD up my phone

I have been on Simply Stock for awhilenow and wanted to try MIUI. I odin back to stock and after that my screen is black. I cant get into DL mode either. HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Have you tried using a download jig? It may help
My phone wouldn't turn on at all once, I mean NO LIFE AT ALL! I thought I was screwed but I kept trying Download mode and eventually counted out in my head about how long it normally took the phone to boot and time when I would normally let go of the power button. I was amazed but it werked! I can't remember but I don't think I even saw the yellow triangle with the shoveling android. I mean the phone was totally dead to the world. The only way I knew I was in download mode was that it connected to ODIN and I saw the little yellow bar.
Good luck!

S3 stucked at Samsung logo afther doing nothing

Hello everyone!
First of: I'm not sure if this is the right section, if not move.
Second of: thanks for the help you give, hope you can help me too.
I got a problem with my S3.
I was running Cyano10 Nighty (not the last one, i just update once a week) and in the last days my phone started to reboot randomly once in a while.
Today my phone start to reboot again, but it get stucked at the SG3 logo. I coudn't turn it off so i unpluged the battery. I tryed to reboot it again and nothing heppened, still stucked at the logo.
I tryed to run into CWM and then apply a recovery but I wasn't able to go into CWM. I can only make the phone run into Download mode.
I tryed to run Odin and apply some random firmware just to see if it woud work but when i plug in my S3 in donwload mode odin couldn't see it (and the whole Pc couldn't see it too).
I tryed to install kies first to get the driver, it didn't work.
I installed the S3 Toolkit and then installed the driver from here, it didn't worked.
so i'm asking: What can i do? I don't know if the phone must be functional while trying to install the drivers. Whereas i can find another S3 and finish the driver's installation, but then will Odin work?
Any suggestion is appreciate, Thanks for the help!
EDIT: I've noticed that when i put the phone on charge on screen appear a stuck battery logo, it doesn't get green and the grey spin doesn't spin.
Also in donwload mode i read this: (not sure if this can help)
Product name:
Custom binary download: No
Current binary: Samsung official
System status: Custom
Does this mean 100% no warranty?

I've seen Product name being empty before... I think it was something to do with a bad flash.
And, I'm assuming you used TA... but there's probably no warranty seeing the product name is wiped and it's "custom".

What do you mean with TA?
I've flashed the CM10Nighty trought CWM, but i was using it since a long time.
The phone was correctly working and then i found it stucked on logo. No flash between the "working phase" and the "stucked on logo phase".
It was working and then stuck, but i didn't do nothing in between.

What happens when you try to boot into CWM?
Looks like you may have a corrupted NAND and need a new motherboard.
Only way to know, is if you try to flash it in Odin you'll get a PIT error.
If that's the case, then they should fix it under warranty

[Q] Please help! Galaxy S2 failed flash

Hello buddies,
I think I have a big problem. Flashing failed on my Galaxy S2 I9100. As a result I cannot turn on the phone, I cannot get to Download mode, neither recovery mode, I cannot connect via USB, it doesn't recognize any devise, I reinstalled USB drivers, I tried on different PCs, I only get the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." ONLY when I plug in the charger. When plug it off, it's gone and nothing else appears on screen whatever I try. I just don't know what to do now... I do not have an access with PC. Can somebody help me please, I'm very discouraged now. Every post will be appreciated!
That message on the screen with the phone---!---pc pic is download mode - forced download mode.
The only way you're fixing it is if you get it to successfully take an Odin flash. Find Hopper8's 'Odin won't flash thread' & try the stuff in that thread till it works. Most people in this situation are looking for an easy fix & there isn't one. It may not work the first time you try, but it might on the 10th try. Persevere.
Edit - Oh, and your phone is staying busted until you do get access to a PC.

Thank you veeeery much for this help!!!
There were 2 problems. First my battery was completely drawn and it wasn't charging it at all when plugged in the charger because all the energy was in use for that super power consuming emergency mode (the device was getting hotter than never before). Then I took the battery and charged it fully on another Galaxy S2 (hopefully I could find one). Then I was able to enter the normal download mode. Then I prepared an original ROM and I tried to install it through Odin. The second problem was my maybe faulty cable which didn't let the installation to continue from the initialization. Then I used another unbranded cable from $1.99 and it just RAN! I installed the latest official ROM and the phone works as it should. A happy end I think. There is one more thing however.. Before the new installation the camera had a little pink spot in the middle only when shooting inside. Many say that all S2 have this problem and that this is a software issue of the white balance. I tried to play with the white balance settings and when turn off the auto-balance and for example choose daylight the pink spot is not present anymore... With the new ROM the problem is still here. I was wondering whether if I change the camera itself with a new this will solve the problem...?? But who knows if it's really a soft problem...
Thanks again for the tips it helped me a lot as I'm new to this.
Regards,
Nick.

[Q] I9300 whitescreen nothing else

Hey guys i have a I9300 and it just became non-functional. When it is plugged into a socket there are no led indicators and the screen flashes on and off (the screen is full white). When I plug it into the pc i hear the sound indications on the pc then the screen comes on(still white) then it begins to flicker like an old tv (white screen big black lines across screen flickering). Last night i was able to go into download mode but when i tried to flash anything with odin i got a PIT file error(re-partition was unchecked)...i found a some pit files and attempted to check re-partition and flash these pit files but they all failed. Now i dont even know if the battery is being charged or what because im unable to even go in download mode again. The device only comes on (white flashing screen) when i plug it in. nothing else happens. I do not have warranty or anything like that im really desperate to find a solution via pc using my usb cable and odin or a simlilar solution. spending money is out of the question. please help me guys. thanks in advance :crying:
Sorry, you are going to have to get a usb jig to at least try getting download mode.
It doesn't sound good, like the emmc has fried.

Thanks guys for your reply.
booboomer do think if i get the a fully charged battery from another device i could get to go in download mode? because the phone was always dieing quickly before it failed so again im wondering if the battery is just simply dead
Tallman i saw that thread and i researched the emmc failure, i know the device was running on a earlier jelly bean and it was all stock, it was never rooted or had any custom firmware not even usb debugging was enabled (its my sister's phone) I downloaded this software named Android toolkit that can put the phone in download mode but again usb debugging is disabled so thats a dead end.
I just uploaded a video to youtube of what it looks like, its not really the same as the picture in the eMMC failure thread
here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EocGvZyJJ1k
Thanks again guys

[Q] White screen - Odin: There is no PIT partition

Hello guys,
my friend's GT-I9300 was running stock rom. It has never been touched with root/custom roms.
One day he started his phone but it didn't and doesn't boot. After pressing the power button, it only shows a complete white screen. It shows not even the Samsung boot logo.
I can't access the stock recovery, but I can access the downloade mode. So I tried to flash the newest original firmware, but it failed. Odin shows the following error:
"There is no PIT partition".
I tried flashing with an one-parted firmware and with an three/four-parted one, but the result is the same. I tried different USB ports, different computers, older versions of odin...
So, is there any hope Maybe flashing a pit-file somehow?
Does it sound like a sudden death? There is unfortunately no warranty anymore
Thank you very, very much in advance! :good:

Try the dead boot recovery thread, search general forum, that will tell you if the motherboard is toast.
