Samsung Galaxy S3 i9300 Can't boot, keeps rebooting, can't go to recovery - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys , i have a 1 year old SGS3 i9300 and it was working perfectly then i root it and installed new custom roms, last rom i installed before this problem was Nameless ROM, after it i wanted to install a Touch Recovery v6.0.4.7 , and i installed it via this classic button recovery and it was working but when i gone to Advanced/Reboot Recovery it didn't want to boot i will explain to you how it looks when i try to turn it on: When i press power button there arrive as normal Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 , then it TRIES to go to recovery but it looks like this: Full black background and in the down left i can see Clockwork Recovery 6.0.4.7 it stands like this for 2-3 seconds and reboots and keeps doing that. I tried to install stock rom via odin, but when i plug in my phone, my PC can't see it, it say Unknown Device, i tried trobleshot and anything didnt work, but i can go to Download Mode...

Flash stock Rom via download mode with Odin
U can get stock Rom/firmware from the Sammobile website

Why do you guys never manage to make backups? Hahah

I had the same problem and it was a problem of the power button. One way to try if that is your problem is to take out the battery for a while, and the put it in. If the device turns on automatically it probably means that your power button is somewhat stuck.
In my case, the button wasn't stuck but it had the same behavior so i had to open the terminal and remove the power button. That fixed my problem but now i need a charger to turn it on.

Go to Stock Recovery
Do Wipe data /cache
And then Flash a fresh Stock Rom via Odin
It will Boot if no then after flashing stock just do wipe data and then reboot
Thats it .

Since you can see the opening screen,I am sure it would go into download mode.
Press Volume up+Volume Down+Power to boot up the phone into Download mode.Connect the phone to your PC and see whether Odin recognizes it.Then,flash the stock Rom.

Hi Anderson, thanks for the reply! it wont go in Recovery mode & Odin doesnt recognise the device? the only two screens i can get is the boot loop with the Samsung Galaxy text or the screen with the Android icon asking to either " Press Volume Up" to Continue or down to cancel?
cheers

Yes.Press Volume Up when you get that screen.:good:
Now Odin should be able to recognize your phone.You can flash the stock Rom.

Did you flash a stock rom with odin v3.07?Your recovery might be damaged. First,install the stock rom with odin.Make sure it boots.Then go into recovery by pressing volume up+power+home and flash your desired rom.

No need for service center, just follow the steps for flashing a rom through Odin and you can recover your phone to a working state, but grab all the patience you can and follow the steps CAREFULLY, or you'll have a really hard time recovering your Ace-i

[Q] My Galaxy Mega Doesn't Work! Help!

Hello everyone.
My phone: Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3
Today I decided to install CM11 on my phone. When I try to install recovery with Odin it was succesfully but when the phone restarts "set warranty bit recovery "
I researched this problem on the internet, someone writed If I reinstall the original ROM (from sammobile.com) the problem would be solved.
But it was worse. Because now the phone doesnt turn on. recovery mode and downloading mode doesnt working.
How can I recover the phone please help me. If you tell us step by step..

Hi..what model is your mega and which recovery did you use and were did you get the recovery from as the yellow warranty means that knox security is on you phone and any custom recoveries or custon roms will show this..but first have to find what model your phone is and which recovery was used.

samething happened to me, but its not broken, something just happens to where you cant see the boot logo picture anymore but the backlight still comes on.
try this.
when turning on your phone go through the steps to get to download mode
then plug it into your computer you should hear it connect.
if not you dont hear the connection then either your computer volume isnt up or you
didnt follow all of the steps to enter download mode correctly.
once youve gotten to download mode flash PHILZ CWM recovery for the i9200
then reboot
when turning on your phone go through the steps to get to recovery, the phone will stay on a black screen until you reach recovery.
wipe data & factory reset.
you should be fine afterwards. although you'll still have a black screen on boot up. just install a custom/stock rom
hope this helped
Thanks a lot for answers. I solved this problem. It was a screen problem and i changed screen of my phone. The phone is working perfect with official samsung Gt-i9200 rom which is published for Russia 4.4.2..

[Q] S3 bricked? need some help

Yo guys well it eventually had to happen someday. Well i will try to explain what exactly happenend.
I had the Sensation 5 Rom on my device. which means i was on 4.4.2 the CWM recovery is 6.0.4.7
yesterday i decided to flash back to the Revolution HD Rom which is 4.3 if im not mistaken... i didnt change the cwm recovery.
There were no problems while flashing and the Revolution HD Rom was working fine until today when i decided to boot into recovery Mode.
(My hardware PowerButton is defect thats why i took it out of my phone so yeah there is no Power Button on my S3)
Because i cant use the 3 button combo to get into Recovery i used the App quick boot and used the App to boot into Recovery mode.
Now from there on my Problem begins. The Samsung Logo appears then the phone boots into Recovery but only for roughly 1 second.
The only thing i can see is the circle with a hat in the middle (the logo) and the cwm version on the bottom before the phone shuts down and everything starts again...its kind of a bootloop only going into recovery mode for 1 second and then starting a new.
Which mena si CANT use recovery Mode and i ALSO cant get into Download Mode somehow... ive tried holding the Volume down button and Home button and everything but i cant get the phone into download Mode so yeah phone is stuck in that Bootloop which i explained above.
Do u guys think that a Usb Jig from Amazon would actually work getting the Phone into Download Mode? or is it a lost cause and i should start looking for a new phone? ^^
i would appreciate any answers a lot !
No one who can help? :/

Try to use adb to boot to recovery/dowload mode if not use usb jig.

well if i try adb the device isnt shown as connected because well the phone restarts every 2-3 seconds.
If there is still any other way wich it could work without a usb jig that would be awesome
ive found a thread over google which said something about sp tools and scatter files....looked like it was possible to change the files of the phone while it was shut down....Does somebody on here know if this is possible?

Stuck on bootloop and can't access Recovery nor Download mode :(

So I have a Samsung Galaxy SII i9100 that I haven't used in months because the USB port wasn't working, therefore, cannot charge. I fixed it today, charged it and it as working (it as slow though, running CM13)
I wanted it to downgrade it back to JB so I can give it to mom but I didn't flash a suitable recovery first, so I flashed JellySnap ROM on TWRP recovery for CM13 and now it's stuck on bootloop (reboots every 4 seconds but skips the Samsung GS2 intro)
No the big problem is that the home button along with the menu key and the back key don't work, so I can't boot into recovery or download mode, so can't use ODIN.
Is there anything else I can do? Can I get to flash it or wipe it or at least access recovery/download mode through the PC (adb?) or using another phone via OTG?

What you mean "home, menu and back button don't work"? They are broken or you can't use them to get into recovery or download mode? You may be able to make or but a JTAG to get into download mode. If you get this far, you should be able to flash a recovery/kernel or stock rom with odin. Otherwise, you may have to take it to a repair center
