I have a issue after getting Failed to boot 1, then SBFing using the leaked sbf file from XDA.... My home and back buttons have reversed functionality!!! Please help me!
Yesterday my home button wasn't working at all,
I ended up fixing by doing a factory reset through Settings > Privacy, but you could also do it through the stock recovery on powerup.

My Thoughts Are Factory Reset It, That Doesn't Work Try SBFing Again.(It Sucks BUT It Could Work.)
Thanks guys but ive tried all of that, SBFing, Factory reset, everything and its gotta be software because both of the buttons work! Im looking for someone with a X2 that wouldnt mind giving me a nandroid back up of the internal sd, im thinking this might fix it, Ima leave the battery out all night and see if that does anything... hopefully it will fix it because verizon is giving me hell and motorola is giving me the runaround sending me on dummy missions!

HELLO!!
I downloaded button remapper and now all of my hardware heys on the lower part of the phone (Menu, home, search, Erc..) do not work.. I do not get any captivate feedback either. ITs like their completely gone..
I trired to restore old config from button remapper but its the same state.. Can someone please help me by directing me in the correct direction to get these working?
Fyi- The volume and power button works fine still... just the light up captivate buttons.
Thank you
!!
Did u try flashing the sbf?
No, I have not... Will I loose stuff? I just rather prevent that if possible.
THank you for your response.
Yes you will. If your rooted and have unlocked bootloader. Use titanium backup back up your apps with data. Then flash the sbf redownload titanium and restore your apps and. Data
NVM, thanks for your help.. I just restored a nandroid and that fixed it.. Thanks!
Good too know. Wasnt sure if thatd help or not. Glad it did
I think im gonna do a wipe anyways cause my disk has so many things I just dont use anymore... When I nandroid'ed, it brought me back to CM7 (not CM7.1)... so, I think Ill start fresh like it's a new phone
Good idea also formatting your SD card wouldn't be a bad idea

You will have to be more specific than this...
Have you tried wiping Cache Partition and/or Dalvik Cache
When i boot the phone it never fully boots, when it finally gets to my lock screen the android system does not load. I can't do anything at all. I havent tried to root or anything. it just started and there was no reason why
the phone has finally booted to where my homepage would be but its a black screen that says android system on it and thats all. i can get to no apps or anything,
Im going too take a wild guess and say you either tried too install cwm without being rooted or u did not properly unlock your bootloadeR. Which is the case? Because this would not just happen did u read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1302423

You might have to use rsd lite to flash a stock rom. If you look thru the posts in the dev section you will find what your looking for. I believe the post is labeled but don't quote me, how to root after sbf flash. I know it's something like that.
Read up on using rsd lite it's very easy once you read about it.
Best of luck to you.
If I can be of any further help feel free to pm me and I'll do my very best.

i can honestly say that i did not try to install anything on it. the phone was running a little slow as i was installing an app so i turned it off after it was done downloading and when i went to start it back up this happened. i was not trying to root or anything

Sounds like you should factory reset.
Turn off phone
Hold volume down and press power
Continue holding volume down until it says fastboot in upper left corner
Release volume down
Press volume down until you get android recovery in upper left corner
Press volume up
Find factory reset option ( not sure where since I don't have factory recovery anymore)

Hi everyone! Im a noob here so I do aplogize if this problem has been solved/mentioned. Well, this is my problem: Ok so my stupid friends took my phone when I wasn't using looking and screwed up my pattern lock so I have to enter my email and password to unlock my phone, right? Well, I was busy so instead I switched off my device and kept it in my pocket. After an hour or so, I felt my phone getting heated up which was weird because it was turned off, so I checked on it and this is what I see: The boot animation was showing up and is stuck at the 'S' logo flashing bit with it vibrating occasionally, the 'menu' and 'back' buttons lights up once in awhile. Oh, and the occasion screen bright up. So i went ahead and tried holding the power button and the same thing happend but this time it lets me in and for a few secs..thn comes out to the boot animation again:crying:... So now I suspect that the lock process has crashed ...any way to fix it? The main thing here is that I need to somehow access the device long enough to copy my stuff to my computer. And of course, fix my well loved phone sorry if my post is very long.....Please help and thanks in advance!!!!!
Can you boot to recovery? (Home + Power + Vol. up)? If you can just do factory reset.
Ill try it, but will it affect all my files?
Your files should be fine. You will lose your app and user data but that's a small price to pay for fixing your phone.
if u can enter to cmwr, then u could make a nandroid back up. this way when u flash up a new rom you could try restoring only data information in advance options in Nandroid back up..
is your phone rooted?? do u have a CMWR???
if not, the only thing u could do is flash a new rom through ODIN.

Hi,
I have the exact same problem as some of the other bootlooped/bricked Galaxy S3's, i was on a custom samsung 4.1.2 rom for about a month and while browsing the net today it crashed went in bootloop now i cant get out, went into cwm recovery mode and factory reseted but didnt do anything.
The problem now is i cant go back into clockwork mod at all, so i went into download mode by pressing power + voloume down and menu button and went into download mode and opened odin flashed a stock rom, however it just keeps saying fail after nand write.
I now tried a custom rom and the same issue occurs and it fails, now when i pull the battery out and turn it back on all i get is a error message saying 'firmware upgrade encountered an issue please select recovery mode in kies and try again' can somebody please helppppp me i literally have no phone at use at the moment!
Thanksssss :highfive:

If you have a jig you might be able to bring it back to life and get in downloadmode and retry flashing a stock rom again. Pull the battery for a minute, reinsert it and use a jig. If you don`t have one try to buy one. Good luck
factory reset is your only way
yes a reply!

Yea, I'm in the states. I have the International version. I'm having th eexact same issue as you my man, even with the CWM not doing a Wipe. There has got to be a fix. I Know if I can get ODIN to stop failing then we can flash, but it's not working. I'm about to give up. Been calling everyone with Google voice on my computer.

It's only 2pm here in Cali, I'll be trying all night. Plan b is to send it into Mobiletechvideos, they do international shipping too, 5 star rating. But in the mean time, I'm going to do some ODIN trouble shooting, maybe try the Mac OSX alternative, Heimdall, and see if I can get it to connect.
cool check this out:

That's three of uss folks
I relate to you guys for that's exactly the same problem I'm going through. After successfully updated to the Jelly Bean 4.1.2 UK BTU international version and beautifully restored all my apps via Titanium backup I then proceeded to restore as well my EFS folder through a program named kTool, ignoring its warning message cuz I was just following a tutorial put out on a S3 Brazilian forum believing there was no danger at all.
Well, to my sadness and despair it returned on a bootlooping mode, if you will, and I did everything firstly tried to recover then wiped cache, dalvik, data, formatted the whole stuff and finally installed again via odin in download mode the same jelly bean 4.1.2 all to no avail
Now I got the bootlooping and when I press volume up + power + home I get a screen with a seemingly dead robot with a exclamation sign in its chest. Please what do I do in order to fully recover my S3?? this situation is killing me.
check the youtube link

Dude, I've watched that vid but haven't tried that procedure so far, matter of fact I will do that however flashing an earlier version of the ROM, perhaps JB 4.1.1 or 4.0.4 or yet the current one from another country since the UK BTU version I downloaded was somehow corrupted. Anyhow thanks for the heads up to avoid factory reset and reboot it instead, hopefully I'm going to manage to get the CWM recovery screen cuz now I get only this:
Android system recovey <S3>
Volume up/down to move to highlight:
power button to select.
Reboot system now
apply update from ADB
Apply update fom external storage
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
apply update from cache
Right below it appears, along with the fallen/dead robot, the folowing message:
# MANUAL MODE #
Applying Multi-CSC....
Applied the CSC-code: ZTO
Succesfully applied multi-CSC.

I've done some searching and come up with nothing so maybe I'm overlooking something or I need help. I flashed the AOSP ROM and was attempting to clear out the SD card and make sure everything was in its place when I rebooted my phone only to be greeted with a LG logo for a second or two followed by a black screen and nothing else. The first thing I tried was to reboot into recovery and it didn't go. So then I tried to power the phone off and make sure I was hitting the combo correctly and got nothing. Again. So I'm scratching my head wondering what to do next. I though I might need to use LGNPST but I can't find a download for it (I will join the IRC and get it that way if I need to but I wanna be sure before bothering anyone in there). What do I need to do? Am I SOL? Is there anything I can check for to see just how bricked I am? Thanks for the help and I'll keep looking while I wait for replies. I appreciate it, guys.
Edit: After LGNPST was giving me a hanging boot animation I did a hard reset with vol down and power. It prompted me to reset, I did that and now everything is working. Thank you all and hopefully this can help someone else in the future.

Yes, I can.
Went ahead and found LGNPST and the instructions to use it. It should all put me back where I need to be but if it doesn't for some crazy reason then I'll bump the thread.
Alright, I thought LGNPST would work but I'm missing something apparently. I'm getting a reboot at 67%, which is normal, and then LGNPST jumps to 85% which I assume is also normal. After that the phone does the at&t boot animation and sound and then it just hangs up at "Rethink Possible" with LGNPST saying it was disconnected and to cycle the power (which I have tried, and I also tried just letting it boot, and rebooting and letting it boot and they all yield the same results). What is going on? What am I missing here? I've tried on a desktop running XP and a laptop running Windows 7 and the phone is still booting to the animation and seems to be working alright from a hardware standpoint so I don't know what the deal is. I'm gonna keep trying but any help or troubleshooting steps I should try would be greatly appreciated. I'm sorry for the triple post, as well. I just really would like to get this fixed tonight so I can sleep haha.
Edit: I'm gonna charge it while I sleep and see if anything changes. It will charge and I charged it for about 45 minutes before trying LGNPST after I found out it would charge. When it first came on it said the battery was too low and it needed to before booting so maybe that's my issue with it booting the new rom or finishing LGNPST. To get to where I am all I did was flash AOSP coming from SnowJB (the LGOG version, NOT the N4 conversion version) and tried to clear out my SD card. I'm guessing that's where I messed something up but it could have been anything, including a hardware failure. I've read about a lot of folks having a similar issue with no resolution and either saying they'll return it or the thread dead ends and nothing else is said. If anyone has any advice I'd appreciate it and if charging helps then I'll report back as well so as not to leave anyone hanging if they stumble upon this thread and need help. I also think it's time for a LGNPST thread with links to the program and steps on how to use it and all that jazz to culminate all these issues. I'm not sure why it has to be so hidden and hard to get to.
LGNPST can't be shared publicly due to legal reasons. To get your phone to boot try a hard reset. From powered off state hold volume down and power buttons. When screen appears select reset.
Edit...If that doesn't work your miscellaneous partition may be messed up, Shelnutt2 on irc can help with that.

I didn't even think about retrying a hard reset after I got it to go as far as the boot animation. It worked! Thank you, so much. And everyone who replied thank you too! Thank you guys so much. If I had more than just thanks I would surely give it.
