Hi guys,
I've owned android phones since the G1, motocliq, nexus, sgs2 (intl), motodroid, all rooted, custom rom, etc etc... So when a friend asked me to unlock (for which i had to root) his i777 I thought I could handle it.
I followed the guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1286220
Went into download mode (could only do it with the VOL+-USB trick) and flashed CWM on Odin. Flashed fine, no problem, rebooted and only showed SAMSUNG letters on the bootup, nothing more. Tried going into CWM Recovery, no luck, Download mode, works fine. So I went over and re-flashed it, worked, but still can't get it to boot, or Recovery to work.
So then I started trying to flash other PDA's thinking i could do it, and maybe cwm was bugged, every time I try to flash ANYTHING that's not that specific CWM it says Write error, FAILED. When i reboot, the phone is softbricked (computer-phone logo saying connect recovery on kies). After this nothing at all will flash, except that CWM, which gives me download mode again... Which doesnt matter because the softbrick screen is a download mode in itself.
Im running out of options, im not sure where I should keep looking, Heimdall, installed, tried to flash, it transfers, at 99% says error writing and cancels. Tried flashing a new .pit and repartitioning, same story, wont let me.
Any suggestions would be more than welcomed :/
Sincerely,
Rodo

Hi Entropy, I've tried but I can't seem to find an Odin flashable .tar, they're all CWM flashes and my CWM is screwed.
> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1289460
Oh and I tried flashing http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1286432 with heimdall too. write error
Did you try this?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1286432
This has the back to stock odin files, Thanks to Entropy!
This has UCKH7_stock_odin_noroot.7z which is flashable by odin. Try this.. You have to use 7zip to get the tar file..
Yup.. no luck :/
Error writing
Changed drivers, installed heimdall, used a different computer, no luck. (and works just fine with my other phones so I doubt its that.)

Try installing Entropy's stock, or stock + root using one of these Odin3 One-Click Downloaders. That will take some of the variables out of the equation. If that doesn't go, you need to figure out if the problem in in the pc or the phone. Let us know your results.
I don't guess you need instructions, but if you do, they are in the flashing custom binaries guide linked in my sig.
Tried at least two previously, they report the same error. giant FAIL in red. I tried another computer previously, and this computer flashes my i9100 just fine (which i presume are the same drivers). In any case I installed the heimdall drivers for USB (on windows, which ruins Odin, but works fine after you uninstall those drivers) included in the package.
Still having no luck with this issue... Anyone know what could be causing that write error on download mode Odin? Perhaps I could flash a different recovery console?
Have you installed Samsung kies just to make sure you have proper drivers? Can make all the difference in the world.
Some people have a tough time getting the wrong drivers uninstalled. Easy check if that is the problem, go to a different pc that you haven't plugged your phone into and first install the right version of kies that you need.
Then plug your phone in and flash through Odin, transfer files over or redownload, hopefully all will be well.

Im still stuck with this issue and apparently after a few extra flashes it now shows:
Custom binary download: NO
Current Bunary: Samsung Official
Which isnt true, but w/e. It will still only flash SGH-1777 clockwork recovery and it will now not even show the samsung logo and become unresponsive as soon as you put the battery in. (the phone heats up, even if i dont try to turn it on, drains the battery dead in a couple hours)
So, I want to give it a try with heimdall and a full repartitioning, but I do not have the necessary files. Ive been looking and I cant find all the partition files, aka
PDA/Code:
FactoryFS=factoryfs.frs
Kernel(zImage)=zImage
Param.lfs=param.lfs
Primary Bootloader=boot.bin
Secondary Bootloader=slb.bin
CSC:
Cache=cache.rfs
Database Data=dbdata.rfs
In Other:
Modem=modem.bin
Recovery=recovery.bin
Could someone dump these files for me? Thanks!
Hello, been reading up for a while and although i didnt feel 100% confident i couldnt help myself from trying to root my phone.
i looked in settings and noticed i had XW KF3 kernel so i downloaded CF-Root-SGS2_XW_CLK_KF3-v4.0-CWM4 put into Download mode and tried to flash using odin. i kept saying failed 1. i searched around for a while and found GT-I9100_ClockworkMod-Recovery_5.0.2.3 this successfully flashed but gave me a yellow triangle so i took battery out and flashed it again but its still the same? i keep getting this yellow triangle? my phone says its a GT-9100 ive since tried numerous kernels but cant seem to get it back to normal now
please help.
kev
Why do you start rooting when you don't feel confident about it?
Anyway
1. Flash a stock rom to get back to stock. You probably want the KF3 stock rom.
2. Try CF-Root again and follow the instructions. It almost can't fail if you followed the instructions.
3. Dont use GT-I9100_ClockworkMod-Recovery_5.0.2.3 again. Stick with CF-root.
Don't worry you will be fine. Just take your time and read.
My last advice: if you get a failed error again, try to find out WHY it says failed instead of jumping to an other method.
Thanks for replying,
i can flash I9100XWKF3_Kernel no problem but it gives me a triangle
i then disconnect the phone and take battery out and put back into download mode and plug in usb cable and run odin and then try
CF-Root-SGS2_XW_CLK_KF3-v4.0-CWM4
but this gives me this error :

im so stupid i should have just left it till i was 100% confident
Have you closed kies completely? alt+ctlr+del >> processes and kill everything with kies in it?
What are the steps that you took? Please be detailed.
yeah kies is killed by control alt and delete,
unplug phone and put into download mode.
plug phone in
open odin
select pda and point it to c:\I9100XWKF3_Kernel
flashes no problem and then phone restarts to triangle
i then unplu take out battery and put back in then go to download mode and plug cable in and open odin and pda and point it to
CF-Root-SGS2_XW_CLK_KF3-v4.0-CWM4
then it comes up with failed.
dont know what else to try?
If you don't want the yellow triangle you have to flash a stock rom(a wipe one I think it's better).
if you want root but no yellow triangle you can flash an insecure kernel, the cf-root kernel and then an original kernel....
Hope this helps! But don't worry about the yellow triangle...

ok so i just tried all this again using the stock then i flashed the CF-Root-SGS2_XW_CLK_KF3-v4.0-CWM4 which this time worked but im still on the triangle? how do i now flash a rom becuase i cannot get the phone to start past the triangle?
read this post very carefully and make sure you have the correct files before attempting.

Guys, his device is not even booting. At least that is what I make of his story.
yeah its not booting it just says samsung galaxy sII with a yellow triangle and just sits there?
If you can boot to recovery, try to flash a custom rom after doing all the wipes(wipe data, wipe cache partition and wipe dalvik cache). If it boots, wipe cache partition,salvia cache and internal sd card...

Big problem...
After flashing 9.3 on SGS2 without wiping i rebooted in cwm and flashed siyah 2.6.2.
After that the phone stuck on the omega logo and did not boot.
I rebooted into CWM wiped cache/davlic etc and i tryed to reflash the 9.3 and the siyah.
After that i tryed to flash the kernel but the phone restarted itself and since then it doesnt boot at all neither in CWM or into android.
Only in download mode and it's not recognized by ODIN or kies.

1) Get the right CF Kernel from the Chainfire kernel thread in the Android Original Development Thread. Extract the zip to get a TAR and extract the TAR to get a z-image file. Also download the corresponding original stock kernel from the Intratech thread in the same section.
2) Flash the TAR in PDA using Odin. Do not click repartition. This lets you boot with with functional Root and CWM.
3) If you want to get rid of the yellow triangle, then load the z-image file into /sdcard. Reboot into download mode and use Odin to flash the stock kernel (again in the PDA without repartition). After that, go to the CWM app, choose flash kernel and locate the zimage and proceed.
NB: You can read Chainfire and Intratechs threads in case I was vague somewhere.
Thanks mate but i already know and did all these.
The thing is what i do in order to bring my phone back to life.
What is 9.3 you flashed ???
Kies: The device is not responding.
Why are you using KIES to flash a rom is it open and preventing Odin from working .
jje
Are you saying Odin does it doesn't recognise your phone?
In the past Odin flashing has gone wrong and can usually be fixed by a PC reboot or rebooting into download mode again.
Sent from my GT-I9100
9.3 = Omega 9.3 rom.
No i'm not.
I installed kies to see if the phone is recognized. After i realized that it's not i uninstalled the kies.
The thing is that odin sees my phone but stacks at <ID:0/003> NAND Write Start!
With 115 posts no reason for you not to ask in the rom thread as its possible its rom specific .
Dont think it is but worth a try .
Choices try Odin on another PC .
Take phone to service centre and hope it is not an expensive repair .
Buy a JTag machine .
jje
Just tryed odin on another pc and i got the same result...
i had the same problem and tried flashing the PIT thinking it might do something, but ended up fully bricked. couldnt power on anymore. only way is to JTAG it now, if odin cant flash it.
read this thread maybe it can help

Were you flashing using Odin without Kies installed? As far as i'm aware Kies must be installed but not running to flash with Odin.

Thanks for your help people.
Hi, new member here. Video said to be brief, so here it goes:
Phone About details:
Model: AT&T Galaxy S II I777
Android: 2.3.6
Kernel: 2.6.35.7
Build: UCKK6
I wanted to do a factory reset on my phone, but I needed to backup some apps, like Viber, etc. So I needed root to use Titanium Backup Pro.
I used Framaroot to unroot. I chose to install Superuser. Root went ok (afaik) because I got a "Success" message and Superuser was installed. I then installed Titanium Backup Pro and tried to run it. It hanged on on the start screen where it says: "Asking for root rights...". I tried many times, once even 10 minutes, but every time I ended up pressing back button and then I always got "Activity Superuser Request (in application Superuser) is not responding". I tried waiting - no luck, I had to force close. Now I had no idea what to do, so I used factory reset thinking it will reset the phone and remove the Superuser. No luck - after the factory reset Superuser is still there and there is no option to uninstall it :/
So what do I do now? The chicken or the egg... From hours of searching google and here on the forums, I need to be rooted to use file manager to delete superuser, but I can run any app which needs root, coz stupid Superuser wont give it. Me>head>wall>bang.
Like the title says: how do I remove Superuser? I would ike to try SuperSU, maybe that one would work, as Framaroot says it rooted successfully... Or should I use any other root method?
Please, help me to sort this out.
Thank You in advance.
P.S. as I'ma newbie here I could not post/ask in the Framaroot thread.
I actually hadn't heard of this until now. Our device is said to be supported, you're correct. I've never used it, but I can tell you how I always root. I just install a kernel (our kernels on this phone have CWM recovery built into them. Never use rom manager) to root my device. I'm assuming since you're on gingerbread , you wanna stay on gingerbread? I flash an old siyah.tar file with Odin and bam. It's quick and works for me. However, there is this new app called exynos abuse . Works for ics I know that, and he says it may or may not work on 2.3.x as well. Worth a shot to look at .http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2050297
@Phalanx7621 thank you so much for replying.
Sorry for not being clear what I wanted to achieve, I was in a bit of a panic mode, I guess. I was worried about my phone and at the same time I was worried about making new thread, but I could not find anything on my problem.

To be precise I would like to know these couple of things:
I wanted to make sure, than I didn't ****up irreversibly and my phone is not doomed.
I would like to know how to install custom rom and root it. I would like to install SHOstock3 RoM for i777. I bought Galaxy Notes 2s for my gf and my mother and I love the Jelly Bean on their phones. BTW, maybe there is something better than SHOstock3?
I would like to know how to reset/reinstall the phone to get it back to the factory/new/untouched/original os state. I mean, if custom rom works funky, I would like to get back to official version. If its possible. And then at least root that stock android, to be able to use Titanium backup Pro to uninstall all that crapware that comes with it.
Should I use SuperSU (SuperSu Pro) instead of Superuser? I mean, Superuser clearly has some kind of problem on my phone.
What would be the best/safest way to do those things?

That is why I used it before posting here and asking to make sure I could use it. I usually have a rule to ask and double check before doing, especially when I'm risking bricking a phone for good. I am too poor to not care. I apologize if I'm asking obvious to you or dumb questions, but in reality, the amount of info here on the forums is a little bit overwhelming and confusing.
A. You dont need root to flash a custom rom. You need a custom kernel flashed via ODIN to get CUSTOM RECOVERY (aka CWM)
B. There are stickies and posts abound covering EXACTLY how to get back to stock and what files you need to do so
As long as you can get into DOWNLOAD mode, ODIN or HEIMDALL will get you out of any predicament...
You should do some research first before going any further..
So after reading and re-reading the guide [GUIDE] How to Flash Custom Binaries Without Ever Incrementing the Flash Counter!! by creepyncrawly in the stickies, I want to double check my steps:
1. How to read the flash counter on an AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II.
Already done - Custom Binary Download: NO, Current Binary: Samsung Official.
2. How to root by flashing Entropy512's Return/Unbrick to Stock, Kernel + Rooted System Package with Modem using Odin3 One-Click Downloader (Windows)
I'm on UCKK6 and windows user, so this one is the only option, I gather. Questions:
2a. Do I need to install Kies on my PC for this step? I ask, because I tried and was able to enter Download Mode by simply connecting my phone to PC without manually installing any drivers or Kies.
2b. Will there be any problems that I tried to root with Framaroot and there is Superuser (which doesn't work) installed on my phone already?
3. How to Install a customized kernel containing ClockworkMod Recovery onto your Rooted phone from your phone, using Mobile Odin Lite or Mobile Odin Pro
3a. Can I use Mobile Odin Pro? The guide says it a preferred method, at the same time I remember reading in some sticky warning against using Rom Manager (iirc Mobile Odin was mentioned too). Does it mean, that Mobile Odin Pro is ok to flash kernel, but not roms? I would prefer Mobile Odin, as it seems easiest.
3b. Guide says: Usually choose between the following two Gingerbread kernels: Entropy512's Daily Driver or Siyah 2.6. So which one? I'm pretty sure I'm not gonna be able to choose by only reading, I need some experienced recommendation on this one. Phalanx7621 said he uses Syiah, so I should probably too..?
[*]4. Flash the ROM package of your choice using ClockworkMod Recovery and a CWM flashable zip package or Mobile Odin with any package
[*]4a. Should I use ClockworkMod Recovery and nothing else?
[*]4b. I guess it all depends on whats the answer to question 3a. Can I use Mobile Odin Pro to flash Roms?
Thanks in advance.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
No. You need USB Drivers for Samsung Phones, preferably the latest version. You can get that by installing kies, or by installing the drivers directly from download. Some people install kies to get the drivers, then uninstall kies without uninstalling the drivers. You may have them already. Look in the Uninstall Program dialog in Windows to see if you have USB Drivers for Samsung Phones listed. If so, you're good to go. Also, if you open a version of Odin on the desktop, then put the phone into download mode, you can tell if Odin recognizes the phone. If so, you have correct drivers. (You don't have to flash anything at this stage.)
2b. Will there be any problems that I tried to root with Framaroot and there is Superuser (which doesn't work) installed on my phone already?

No. The package will replace current system anyway.

Yes. You can use Mobile Odin Pro, or Mobile Odin Lite (the free version available in the developer's xda thread.) You can use this to flash the kernel, and you can use it to flash a complete firmware (rom). There is no connection between rom manager and Mobile Odin. You are evidently remembering wrongly what you read.
3b. Guide says: Usually choose between the following two Gingerbread kernels: Entropy512's Daily Driver or Siyah 2.6. So which one?

Remember that this guide is somewhat old, dating back to the very first firmware distribution that came with the phone, which was 2.3.4 Gingerbread. So, if you use the one-click downloader in this thread, you should install an custom kernel which is compatible with the system, or otherwise the system will not boot up. However, even if that happened, you could still boot into recovery and flash a firmware using ClockworkMod. Also, it doesn't matter which one you choose, because after you flash your custom firmware, that kernel will be gone anyway. It's just a step of the process.
The alternative to this would be to use the most current stock plus root package instead. There is a link to ICS 4.0.4 UCLL6 plus root at the bottom of the links in my signature. In that case, you can use the most current kernel, of which the most likely ones are also linked in the OP of that thread. The rest of the procedure is the same.
4a. Should I use ClockworkMod Recovery and nothing else?
4b. I guess it all depends on whats the answer to question 3a. Can I use Mobile Odin Pro to flash Roms?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Read the last paragraph in the guide. You can use ClockworkMod Recovery. You can use Mobile Odin. And you can use other methods as well. It's just that almost all firmware developers package their firmware (roms) in ClockworkMod flashable zip files. And you can not use the CWM zips in Mobile Odin.
Hope this answers all your questions. After you go through this, your phone should be just fine.

2c.) How to root by flashing Entropy512's Return/Unbrick to Stock, Kernel + Rooted System Package with Modem using Odin3 One-Click Downloader (Windows)
Download the "Odin3 One-Click Downloader Stock I-777 UCKH7 with Root no BL" package from (links removed for newb reasons)
Extract the contents of the zip file to a directory on your hard disk drive. This is a One-Click version of Entropy512's Return/Unbrick to Stock, Kernel + Rooted System Package plus stock modem from the development forum. (Contains stock zImage, factoryfs.img with root, and modem.bin.)
Start the Odin3 One-Click Downloader program by double clicking on "I777UCKH7 OCD With Root.exe".
Now Enter Download Mode:
With the phone powered off, plug in the usb cable while holding the vol up + vol down buttons (but not the power button).
When the warning screen appears, press Volume up to continue into download mode.
In Odin, the small edit box in the upper left corner will turn yellow, and say something like [0:COM8]. The number could be different.
Click Start. Watch the progress bar advance in green while the message box in the lower area describes the steps. When the flash is finished, the top left larger edit box will turn green and say PASS! and your phone will automatically reboot.
Unplug the usb cable from you phone after it boots up. Success. You're Rooted.

Go to the download repository linked in my signature, and attempt to flash the I777UCKH7-CL503881 Stock Binaries, including bootloaders and param partition.
If that is successful then flash the stock plus root package again. If that is not successful, the go to the Gingerbread version of the SiyahKernel v2.6.14 and flash the tar version using Odin. This will increment the flash counter, but may clear the problem. If this flashes successfully, then flash the stock plus root package.
I'm going to bed. If you need further help, I'll be back on the borads sometime tomorrow afternoon or evening.
Short version - Fail either way.

If that is not successful, the go to the Gingerbread version of the SiyahKernel v2.6.14 and flash the tar version using Odin. This will increment the flash counter, but may clear the problem. If this flashes successfully, then flash the stock plus root package.

I could not reboot by using the menu - power button did not work. I could navigate with volume buttons though. I removed battery and reinserted it, for a couple of seconds I could see a different kind of recovery I guess, then phone restarted and went into boot loop ( I guess, phone showed welcome screen for a couple of seconds, then black screen, and again and again... etc). I removed battery again to stop the boot loop.
At this time I tried to flash I777UCKH7 OCD With Root.exe again, it flaied again and this time it failed quite faster.

Thank you in advance.
Ok basically what it all boils down to--- all you need to flash a custom rom is a recovery mode that allows it. A custom recovery. Flashing all these packages just happen to get you back to a point where you're fresh and clean and some HAVE alternative kernels (remember kernel = recovery for our phone ) but its not necessary. After you flashed siyah.tar and it said passed, at that point you had a custom recovery flashed into your phone. It of course wouldn't boot up because it hasn't flashed anything else, but that's ok cause all you'd have to have done was reboot the phone, hold volume up down and power and bam, youre in recovery . then do a factory reset and wipe the /system partition and flash whatever rom you want. You can flash ANY kernel pretty much to get into recovery as whatever ROM you flash will overwrite it.
@cryodream,
Did you get this resolved? Did you try flashing from CWM recovery after installing Siyah kernel with Odin, as Phalanx suggested?

Thank you, actually, Thank You ALL so much, guys. Here's what I did:
downloaded SHOstock3 RoM for i777
copied SHOstock3-XWLSN-v3.0.2.zip onto the external SD card and put the card into the phone
booted into recovery mode
did "Wipe Cache Partition"
did "Wipe Data/Factory Reset"
installed SHOstock3 RoM from that zip file on SD card
Rebooted the phone and voila: Jelly Bean working!
Installed Root Checker (free version) and checked root: rooted
Result: rooted JB - exactly what I wanted, once again, thank You, guys, You rock!
A couple of questions:
1) Yellow triangle and flash counter (mine says YES (1 counts)). Solution - going to buy a Jig.
creepyncrawly said:
If your Custom Binary download is YES, your only option to reset this to NO is to use a Jig. The Jig is a micro usb plug with 301k ohms of resistance connected across pins 4 and 5. On the i777 running original bootloaders, it will reset the flash counter to NO as it puts the phone into download mode. You can make your own jig, or purchase one from many sources on the web.

2) When Booting the 1st welcome screen shows Samsung Galaxy GT-I9100. Should I just live with it, or can I fix it?
Did this happen when I flashed I777UCKH7-CL503881-Full.exe ? I mean is it because i flashed bootloader? I'm asking, because I see warnings in many places:
creepyncrawly said:
There is always some risk involved when flashing bootloaders. Please don't flash this unless you absolutely need to.

3) How can it be, that after so much flashing and doing wipes and factory reset, I still have old pictures on my phone? The pictures I made before all this. And contacts - actually now I have a complete mess in my contacts - I have double of pretty much all of my contacts. I guess now I have "old" contacts and "new" contacts, which google synced from my google account? I was pretty sure I would end up with a "clean/empty/reset" phone. I thought Wipe Cache Partition and Wipe Data/Factory Reset did exactly that? Now I'm really confused. So how in hell do I clean out my phone? I will want to clean it before selling, when the time comes to upgrade.
4) I hoped cleaning out my phone will remove this annoying New Voicemails (1) Dial +1-201-310-3747 notification. It is driving me crazy, I don't remember when it first appeared, but it's been a long time. I have no voicemails, but the notifications is still always there. I don't want to dial the number manually, should I?
USB jig will also clear the yellow warning triangle and I9100 boot screen.
That warning screen happened, and the flash counter was incremented when you used Odin to flash Siyah.tar. It has nothing to do with the bootloader. Actually the bootloaders in that UCKH7 package should be exactly the same as the original ones that were on the phone.
Pictures are stored on the sdcard. Wiping the data partition does not touch that. Contacts should have been wiped, so not sure where your duplicates came from, but I will say I always avoid letting google restore stuff when I flash. Cache partition does not contain anything that the user can access, it is only for the OS.
On 4 don't know the answer.
#4 Call and leave yourself a voice mail. Then delete it.
If this doesn't fix it permanently, you may need to get a new SIM card.

Than you again for the answers. I will buy that Jig thing tomorrow, I think I saw a link in one of your guides. As for the contacts mess, it's actually very simple - I was too happy and distracted that my phone finally works. All the doubles come from: sim card and gmail sync. I totaly forgot, that when I upgraded my evil iPhone4 to this SGS2 the girl at the at&t counter said that she transferred all my contacts.
Anyway, I've been battling with my contacts for hours now I was always too lazy to set them up properly. I figured it's time to set them up in gmail and that's gonna be the easiest way to have them backed up and synced.
Question about contacts: how do you guys save "company" contacts? eg.: Some Company Customer Service. I used to save only "Organization" field and that would show up in the contacts list as name. But now I see that gmail saves a phone number as name in this case. So I tried using "File As" and it works OK, but - I can't find that option on android. How do you guys save "company" contacts (if you do)?

Thanks, I will try that. I asked my gf to call and leave me a voicemail. Now I can't get into my voicemail. Instead of asking me for my password it asks me to "Please enter your mailbox number, specified by your system manager" :laugh: I'll get into that after I'll finish my war with contacts
That sounds like you're using the wrong number to call your voice mail. Att? Or another service?

Hello,
i tryied to flash CM11 to my i9300 using one of the manual here but i ended up with phone going on boot loop when started(Shows only Samsung i9300 black/white logo in 3seconds loop). I only have an access to download mode
It says:
Product name: GT-i9300
Custom Binary download: Yes
Current Binary: Samsung Official
System Status: Custom
When i try to get the recovery mode installed again the Odin say
<ID:0/028> File analysis..
<ID:0/028> SetupConnection..
<ID:0/028> Initialzation..
<ID:0/028> Get PIT for mapping..
<ID:0/028> Firmware update start..
<ID:0/028> SingleDownload.
<ID:0/028> boot.img
<ID:0/028> NAND Write Start!!
And thats all. I supose i can connect through the USB while the odin shows the USB COM port and blue color.
Is my phone bricked or is there any way how to save it? Thank you for your advice

If I'm not mistaken boot.img is the bootloader, not the recovery. Are you sure you can't get into recovery using the 3-button-combo? If not I would try flashing this recovery via ODIN. And then try to reboot into it using the combo. Then flash CM zip from there again.
Hi, im sure i cant get to recovery using 3 button combo. That gives me only the loop of "Samsung SIII" logo. The 3buttons combo work only for download mode.
Thats what i wrote, when im trying to flash the recovery via ODIN it gets stucked on the on the message <ID:0/028> NAND Write Start!! and nothing else happens. I tryed the 3.07 and 3.09 version of ODIN.

Ah, I'm sorry I misunderstood. I thought that was just a snippet of the log... Try flashing the recovery I provided and see if it flashes. If not, maybe you can flash stock firmware with pit file (new partition table). If nothing flashes, I have no further ideas.
Thanks, but ive already tryed to flash several recovery with the same results (got stucked on NAND write in ODIN), I downloaded stock rom but the package was without pit and other kinds of files (got stucked too on NAND write in ODIN). Its a ROM for TMZ (T-mobile Czech). Do you know where i can get the "full" package. Do i need to flash the pit and other files together with ROM?
You're seriously pottering a brick. The 'full package' contents 3 files, which you've to place in the right Odin-windows +repartition-check. These files are unofficial. Google for files and instruction.

I could be mistaken but I believe the 3-part-roms (csc / pda / phone) is the "old style" how roms where put out by sammy. You would have to search but I would think you can also use the version you get from sammobile nowadays (one zip) and additionally just use the gt-i9300 pit file found somewhere here in the forums.
@Hawaiihemd: be shure, you're wrong.

@rp158 Well, I think I only made a small error in my assumption.
Here are the details on the sammobile download. It seems to hold everything a "3-part-version" holds. I downloaded the file and a look at the .tar file inside the single .zip seems to confirm that.
This post suggests that flashing the .tar with the pit file should work.
I don't know because I haven't tried myself, maybe you have. Or I'm missing a piece of the puzzle. If so, maybe you could point me to it!?
@Hawaiihemd: If I look into the unzipped tar.md5-firmware, there are image-files. One for each partition. If I look into a 3part-zip-file, there are 3 tar.md5-files for each Odin-input-window. I tried only this soft method. The way, described in your cited post, I would only try as a last exit. The whole Odin-firmware-flashing is a black-box: noone knows, why&when during a normal flash a factory-reset is triggered or during repartition efs-data are restored. So, where the software finds the necessary repartition-data in the usual 1part-zip, is also unknown. Sorry, if I hurt you.

You didn't, don't worry. I was a little stumped maybe, but only because your answer was so terminal. Actually I only wanted to start a discussion about this, because you seemed to know more about said process than me and I always try to gain knowledge here to better help solving problems. I haven't been in this forum for long or into android for that matter...
That said, I have done the "3-files" version of this process with a .pit file thrice already on different gt-i9000s. Always worked flawlessly.
Looking at the ones in the post @tallman43 suggested, I found the contents of those 3 .tar.md5 files in summary(!) similar to the ones in the 1 .zip from sammobile. That's why I thought it could work in the first place.
One thing I'm sure of is that in both cases the repartition info is in the .pit file. If you choose none, the MMC should not be repartioned. If partitions are reformatted... that's another deal.
Concerning the efs partition, to/from where that info is stored/restored during repartitioning of the MMC... that's a very interesting question!

Thank you very much for this hint. It worked well. I used the all files from KOR zip and 1.85 ODIN. Now i have the Korean version but at least i have something to start with and phone which works now.
