Hello.
I have a GT-i9305 andI tried the rooting by following the instructions at http://galaxys3root.com/ on my Ubuntu laptop with heimdall.
I managed to install the recovery and also flash the cwm zip. I saw som problems related to /cache/ so I wiped cache and after that I have not been able to get past boot logo. I hav ealso tried flashing a custom rom and doing a factory reset and wipe dalvik cache bu
t it did not help. I have tried Odin and flashing from a .tar.md5 file but it results in FAIL.
I can reach both download mode and recovery but that is all.
Please help, I need my phone.
did you use a i9300 method on your i9305? you've probably killed the phone.
flash a stock ROM via Odin (i9305 one) and factory reset from recovery. if that doesn't help - send it to Samsung.
And this is the i9300 section, you're in the wrong place
Thanks.
I got back to stock. I will try to use the i9305 method.
Mount /sdcard not possible
Wel, I have the same problem.
Samsung SIII International version. After installing a new rom (believe it was "jellybam-v6.1.0_i9300-STABLE.zip") but I am not sure, the phone boots only to the original logo and then the screen goes black. Nothing more.
I can get into recovery mode and download mode so I tried several recovery versions (CWM, TEAMWIN, latest ClockworModRecovery v 6.0.2.8.) and several ROM.
No mater what I install, I get the same results. Boot phone and it hangs after the standard Samsung logo.
I was able to find out "/sdcard" could not be mounted. All the recovery programs I used with the option "mount unmount" reporting the same "/sdcard could not be mount" error.
Formatting /sdcard all so won't work.
I am thinking installing a new kernel but I have some difficulties in finding witch one will work with my phone?
Any suggestions or help is really appreciated b/c I have no idea what to do next.
Samsung I9300
Win 7
Latest USB drivers from Samsung installed
No Kies installed.
Odin3_v3.07 installed.
Using Odin I flashed:
CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4.tar
recovery-cwmtouch-6.0.2.8-GTI9300.tar
recovery-stock-dlj4-GTI9300.tar
recovery-stock-blg9-GTI9300.tar
And a few more.
Due to being unable to acces the phone installing a zip file is not possible. Using "installing a rom from zip, or sdcard" from recovery is not possible.
I tried installing a file using sideload but was not succesfull. I can get the phone in receiving a file from sideload but was unable to send a file from the PC.
Thanx in advance
you have to do a factory reset after flashing a new rom
Did wipe/clear/factory set etc every time just to find the phone goes black after the Samsung logo.
One particular thing: I can see the /sdcard in some recovery programs but can't modify it.
How can I transfer a zip file using Sideload?
I can get into "download a file using Sideload" on my phone but what should I do to get a zip file transferred. Maybe then I can use "install from zip" from a recovery.
Update Problem solved (for me) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2162908
I flashed the 9305 firmware from here http://www.samfirmware.com/ in Odin then I was back to stock.
Then I rooted the phone by this instruction.

I have not tried a custom rom but I think it should work.
Hello guys. First, I have to say that I'm not experienced with android phone modifications. I am trying to get NeatROM into my phone, but I can't set up custom recovery mod. I tried both CWM and TWRP.
This is my third time I am re-installing the ROM, first I have done it with ODIN second time with CWM recovery, but now I can only enter "Android system recovery <3e>" where there isn't an option "Install Rom SD card".
I don't know how CWM recovery got replaced with stock recovery mod,but I am suspicions that it happened during latest Samsung "Software update" via Kies.
I tried to flash CWM and TWRP recoveries via their apps, but when the phone booted, there was always stock recovery mod. I also tried to flash recovery mod via Android SDK, following manual on phonearena.com, but got stucked on 3rd step- when I typed in "adb reboot bootloader" my phone only restarted and it did not enter bootloader.
Please, can you help to flash the stock recovery mod, so I can install new ROM, or is there other way to get it into my phone and then flash the recovery mod?
Never mind, I was able to flash CWM recovery with Odin, following the steps on androidlegend[dot]com. Then it let me to install NeatROM.

Hi guys i cant install a custome recovery in my samsung galaxy grand prime sm-g530h with odin(versions 3.0.7, 3.0.9, 3.10.7) android 5.0.2, baseband G530HXXU2BOK3, kernel version3.10.49-1006642, im using windows 8.0 .
when a tried to install a custome recovery in order to install root and a custom rom i used odin 3.10.7 and all went smooth no errors in odin but when my device reboot and i tested if the custome recovery it did installed the stock recovery from android <3e> appeared, and i tried to install it with the stock recovery but it semms that it only works for samsung signed packages, itried to install differents recoverys but none of them installed.
If anyone can help me a will apreciate it from the bottom of my hearth
Thanks
Install the recovery again using Odin, this time after installation let the phone boot completely....then restart it into recovery.
The same happened with me too.
We just need to be patient xD
Hope it helps.
The trick is to reboot to recovery BEFORE it boots into the OS, otherwise there is a script that will rewrite the stock recovery back to the phone. Once you flash a rom or SuperSU zip, it will disable the script and allow TWRP to remain.
Hello,
I have a samsung alpha from korea (G850S) and I tried to install the custom rom ResurrectionRemix so I rooted my phone using odin 3 and CF auto root, then I have installed twrp using flashify app and finally installed the rom.
The rom was apparently not stable because it has booted the first time but when I rebooted my phone it was stuck on samsung alpha logo, so I decided to install Jumbo rom.
I made a wipe (system, data ...) and install it using trwp. The problem is the instalation failed and now I have no rom and I can access to trwp anymore
I only have access to download mode and android system recovery <3e>, I have tried to instal trwp again using odin but when I press vol up+home+power I have the samsung alpha logo
With android system recovery I can have adb acess but I dont know what to do.
Could you help me ? Thank you
This happened to me with my g850f. Make official rom installation with odin. Use cf auto root again BUT you must install twrp 3.0.0.0 for higher android versions like lollipop or marsmallow. You can find twrp 3.0.0.0 or higher versions by searching xda forum. After rooting your phone you can install twrp with flashfy. You can find it in play store. Good luck
Sorry for bad english
