Yo guys,
Just about to flash with Odin the Stock software. The guide on the software page doesen't go into much detail and the only other guides I can find are the same
When flashing Stock, which boxes need to be ticked? For example there is the Auto-Reboot and the F Reset time? Also next to the box that says 'PDA' there is a little tick box, do I need to tick this?
Heads up, thanks!
No idea which guides you've been reading but alk I've seen come with screenshots saying DON'T CLICK THESE on them.
The PDA box will self tick once a file is selected.

Found the correct guide on XDA, thanks
Hey guys i'm trying to fix a friend's i9300. He bought it from someone already in the current state.
It boots to the samsung logo but does nothing after that
Model: GT-I9300
FCC ID: A3LGTI9300A
SSN: I9300GSMH
I have tried to ODIN I9300ZNUBML1_I9300CHUBML1_CHU.zip onto it, but it says its missing pit partition, so i tried to load a pit onto it, I've tried GT-I9300_mx_20120329.pit but it gets stuck of getting pit mapping.
What am I doing wrong? I have no clue which country this phone is from either.
I have attached the *.PIT file I used to restore my phone. It is for the 16GB i9300. Remember in ODIN to include the ROM in the /PDA section, and the *.pit file in the section where it asks for it. Have the following boxes checked:
Re-Partition
Auto-Reboot
F. Reset Time.
Phone Bootloader Update
Flash the ROM, and let ODIN do it's thing. DO NOT UNPLUG YOUR DEVICE UNTIL IT IS DONE!! Doing this will completely wipe the phone, and return it to a factory state.
Flash the firmware and pit at the same time, or try the rescue firmware in general thread.
If it still fails then emmc chip is blown, new motherboard required.

Have you tried a different USB cable, and/or using a different USB port on your computer?

Yes, tried different computers also, i think it's the memory, it's corrupted, but it's funny because only with PIT file from this post i get something when try flash the stock Rom even with errors..
Was wondering if someone can give me a link to a thread showing how to put my phone back to stock. Planing on upgrade phone and guess it needs to be back to stock. Currently running Hyperdrive 18.1 on MJ7.
Thanks!
Ok, Download Odin 3.07 From http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1168421&d=1341114315 and the NC5 Factory Odin Tar File from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2735172 . Also make sure you have your samsung drivers on your pc. Once you have everything downloaded, extract both odin and the nc5 factory stock.tar to a folder, and open odin. Find the PDA tab, and click it. Now search for the .tar file and wait for odin to confirm it. Now put your phone into download mode by turning it off, and turning it on by holding vol down+home+power and get it into download mode. From there, Plug your phone into your pc, and make sure odin finds it, then you can click start, and wait for it to do its thing. Once its done, you will be on a very recent update, and it will be like getting an s4 today, and you can now take it to the store for upgrade
Thanks for the information and links. Will try that when I get home. Just to ask, is the flash counter reset after that?
Thanks again!
Yes it will.
OK... I just tried the steps and odin said PASSED. Tried the no wipe file. Now it gets to the Verizon Activation screen and start getting "unfortunately android.phone has stopped" click ok and keep getting same message, also messagins has stopped, mail has stopped. should I try the other file? full wipe file?
I was able to downgrade from the NG6 update released a few days ago back to NC5.

I used the info and tut from this post
I used the full wipe method, I'm unsure if the no wipe one works
Information:
1. ROOT METHOD can be found here
2. Otherwise, Download Odin 3.09 here (Note: Bootloader = BL , PDA = AP , Phone = CP)

Directions:

1. Unzip the file and you should have a tar.md5

3. Click start and wait for it to say Pass!
Full Wipe ( AKA Emeregency Repair)

Just confirming that this downgrade from ng6 worked for me too. im back to nc5 and yet to see if there will be no more reboots that everyone is having issues with on ng6.
Is there a way to do this with out using odin on a computer?
Im trying this right now via odin..... wish me luck.

Let everyone know how it went. I don't intend to take this update, but others will and will, undoubtedly, need to take the path you are now on...

Worked like a charm. I did the full wipe and repartion(PIT). Took me a 1st timer using odin maybe 30mins to do.

I am having a hellish time with no-wipe. Constant errors prevent input of even the lockscreen PIN. I've tried different cables, ports, running Odin as administrator and not... Ideas?

Damn. That probably was the thing that was killing me. After the first attempt, though, I could barely fight through the errors to a home screen, let alone change settings (delete corporate account to get rid of PIN, turn on dev mode, etc.). Ended up doing full wipe. Thanks for the thought. Lesson learned in case there's a next time.
Using Odin 3.09 for the no-wipe method, I load the NC5 .md5 file, and select it as instructed, but once I hit start, I get message stating "All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 0) " instantaneously without anything actually happening. I have both developer mode and USB Debugging enabled.
Am I missing something?
Ignore all of that. I loaded the .md5 file up before the phone was connected in Download Mode. Re-loading it fixed everything.
I flashed NC5 over NG6. constant ERROR!! process.acore HELP
It flashed successfully via ODIN. MD5 checker matched. So no corrupt rom. After booting, i keep getting non-stop android.process.acore & android.process.media stopped working every 1 sec, and hitting ok keeps bringing it back and I cannot do anything !!! This is so frustrating. I specifically wanted no wipe. Please tell me i dont have to Full Wipe it. How did it work for you, tell me the step by step. My NG6 was rooted, should I have unrooted first. Tell me what to do!!!
I tried to do this method,but I have had no luck. My phone returned the error "fused 6 binary 5" - What is it that I'm missing?
i keep getting errors
Going to try it.
fyi, after error upon error I tried a different cable using a different USB port. Worked like a charm!
I did the no-wipe method and got the android.process.acore & android.process.media errors. I ended up doing a full wipe and it worked fine. Unfortunately my Titanium Backup I ran the night before didn't run quite right ><. Live, learn and check backups!
NG6
Was NG6 released with a new update from VZ, or was this ported from the S5?

Is there a way unrooted to stop the update??
I had to take the wipe method but no biggie.

Are the problems with NG6 isolated to rooted phone, custom roms, or both at the same time?
Long story short, I was trying to install a new rom onto my phone and odin failed. Now I can't do anything but access the download menu. Smart switch says my phone is unrecognizable and I can't get anything to pass on odin. I don't know what to do and I'm at a wits end. I spent over $400 on this phone which is a ton of money for me. If anybody can help me get out of this mess, I would be so grateful.

So what firmware are you trying to flash? What model do you have? Which region are you in, is the phone carrier locked? Answer these and we will take it from there

Well, I managed to fix it on my own, but I probably screwed it up even worse now. I have the SM-G925; it's international as well and unlocked. Unfortunately, when I fixed it I got mad because it said it was still rooted, and I checked up nand erase all on Odin like an idiot. Now it's stuck on the samsung logo and won't boot after I try to install new firmware. (I have the firmware I need) is there anything I can do, or do I have a new brick?
EDIT: I don't know if this helps, but I can install TWRP on it and access the download menu. I've been reading that I need a pit file or something, right?

What firmware are you trying to flash and I can post you the PIT file? How long are you leaving it on the Samsung logo at boot? I as because the first time it can take around 10-15 minutes to boot

I'm actually so stupid. I just waited a lot longer this time and it seemed to go through. I felt like it was taking a lot longer than a usual firmware flash. It went through this time. Thanks for your patience, however.
