Hello,
I have a stock rom and am not rooted.
I can't get kies to know my phone's version, which means I dont get updates from it.
I don't want to flash a new rom (warranty, even if I flash a stock rom) but I do want to find a solution.
I tried to reset the phone, didn't help.
OTA doesn't work either.
Thanks..
Reinstall Kies .
Backup data on phone and factory reset .

Did you install the drivers from within kies?
did you make sure usb debugging was unchecked?

what do you mean? I didn't download any standalone drivers, they all came from kies. besides, it doesn't work also from another computer, but a different SGII does work at that computer..

Factory reset via recovery wipes all data .
Entered with the key combination of Vol Up + Home + Power from powered off phone . Hold down until splash screen appears release .
OTA is not in full use yet .

Ok Kies does not work .
OR their is no update for your phone on Kies as its not yet been provided to server ..
Choice take phone to a service centre Or use XDA methods and flash a stock rom .

which means?..
I would recommend a stock rom as well... but this is where it all becomes a headache for me because I'm still trying to figure out what stock rom to download. Hope your issue gets sorted.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 check that out for stock rom
Your not saying kies doesn't work because another device is connecting ok. Your saying it's not detecting your device right?
Can your device connect in USB mode?
If no maybe USB port problem and needs to be returned.
If yes download official stock firmware of your choice and Odin from intratechs thread and flash using the instructions in that thread.
Your device will then be the same as if upgraded via kies.
See then if kies will play nicely.

I would like help from forum members.
After doing a root using the original firmware version, available here in the forum, my GS2 stopped working.
The device connects, the splash comes from Samsung (the one where the yellow triangle appears), but after that the screen goes black and nothing appears. Imagine turning on your PC but not booting in windows!
I can access the download mode and recovery mode. But nothing I do solves. I've tried putting other firmware versions but not resolved.
The Odin recognizes the device, the Kies not.
Another problem is that I do not know what was the original version of the firmware, but I know that the device was a French version, if that helps.

I tried that. It did not work. I used the XWKK2, XXKI4, and XWKI4 XWKK5. None of them worked. I can flash them as I explained in the first post, but does not work.

Well if you can't get it to work in any known way and you dont want to spend money to get it fixed , I'd say soft-brick it by enabling repartition in Odin and get a jig , then try again. You only lose 3-5$ that way. Don't get me wrong , it's the last thing you should try. What you probably should do is to take it to service.
I bought the usb jig must be delivered within 7 days.
But the jig is used to enter the download mode and reset the counter, right?
I can enter the download mode and recovery mode, I can even install any firmware version (official/CF). But none of that worked.
I believe it is with some corrupted file that is not connected to the firmware.
Or not!

Never tick repartition. You won't be able to bring it back that way. You can try soft bricking by unplugging the phone while flashing wih Odin but i still don't recommend it if you aren't able to boot even after flashing multiple roms. Service center would be your best bet

Hello.
1) I tried to upgrade my rooted SGS3 in Kies. It freezes during upgrading at 6% (more than an hour at 6%). I stopped upgrading, turned off and turned on the battery. Now I see "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again".
2) I tried flashing in ODIN. It failed, the phone freezes in Downloading mode.
3) I tried recovery in Kies. It freezes too (at 11%).

You can though you may not get an update .
INSTRUCTIONS
Flash stock rom through Odin but read instructions first .
Instructions do not say flash zip through Odin but as firmware is from another forum you would need to ask them / read their instructions .
Why not use stock firmware from XDA ???

1) Of course I extracted zip file before flashing.
2) XDA don't offer the latest version of SGS3 firmware for Russia.

Correct firmware used and instructions followed .
Then a faulty download of the firmware or a damaged phone are the only solutions left ..
I would personally try flashing CF root via Odin and wiping phone via mounts and storage format .
Only other choice is a service centre .

Hi everybody and thanks for those. who tried to help me.
I just tried to connect the cable to another usb port (not front one, but the one on the motheboard) and this helps!!!! Now I have the latest firmware, installed by Kies. So the reason was simple - the bad USB Port.
That's good to hear. Wonder if its the USB port itself or a software problem..
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2
It's the usb port. I used the idea from other thread. Never use front usb port (on desktops) to upgrade the phone.
Another idea - is to change the cable

Great you solved it, i learned my lesson, never use front usb ports. Would be really ***** if u bricked ur device. I would have gone nuts.

Front USB often means its not running full power as its not a direct motherboard feed but wired as a supplementary port .

Hi,
Me and my partner both got s3's recently his on contract mine on like buy as you view. Mine received the 4.1.1 update through the phone and after waiting a few weeks and still nothing on his we decided to update it via computer. I used odin because i saw on a post that thats what you were supposed to use and flashed it to 4.1.1. I then realised i had put the wrong version on (German one i think) and it was causing errors so we flashed again to 4.1.1 the UK version.
He is now on:
Android version 4.1.1
Baseband version I9300XXDLID
I do not know if that's correct but everything seems a ok.
However since then my phone received the 4.1.2 update and we want the same update on his phone. It does not find it on the phone. Since then i learned KIES is the samsung software not odin. No updates can be found via KIES cos the software isn't supported. I want to be able to use KIES with his phone again, can i reverse the odin update anyway?? I rang samsung and he told me it will be like that forever now and i will never be able to use KIES?
Can anyone assist me. I really want ot be able to update from KIES again instead of using odin.
Sorry if i sound like a noob im only good with apple technology haha!! :laugh:
(edit)
P.S. My software is
Android version 4.1.2
Baseband version I9300XXELLA
we are both on Orange if thats any help? His came on Ice Cream Sandwich though and mine came on 4.1.1
If the phone isnt locked on orange just download 4.1.2 from sammobile and instal via odin as u did beffore.

Odin is official samsung. You can use Kies if you use OFW. If your current OFW doesn't support Kies, just download other from samfirmware.com.

i have no idea what OFW stands for lol. Samsung told me on the phone i should not have used odin as it will void warranty. Im trying to revert the update so that i can use kies again cos it will not work at all now, and get the updates directly on the phone. Is this even possible?

Ypu can achieve this by using KIES.
Open kies
Start recovering and make sure you can put your cells serial number somewhere
Connect phone only when kies asks to

Ok if u want the 4.1.2 update and u want to be able to use OTA i advise u to do flash the latest 4.1.2 room from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646610 there is even a guide there how to flash it , if your device shows modified status after the flash just reboot into Android Recovery by holding Vol UP + Home + Power till you see Samsung Galaxy S3 displayed on screen , then u will see the recovery options, do a factory wipe and wipe cache then reboot and u should now be able to receive OTA updates .
I am also using the same room and all is working ok OTA shows no new updates but i think when the updates hits i will be able to get it via OTA , kies is not working but i think u dont need to worry about it because u can always flash via Odin .
Here is a guide how to flash a room with working Kies and OTA
First u need to root your device u can do this by following this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957273
Edit: When u finish rooting u should use this app its called triangle away http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494114 and use it to reset the counter .
When u are done with triangle away then download this on your phone it available on play store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.manniakk.cscselector&hl=en
Run it and change your CSC to BTU this will factory reset your phone after u done that u should flash the UK room from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646610
When u finish that u should boot into recovery and wipe data/factory reset , you should now be able to use Kies .
I am not sure this will work 100% but it should , if u could remember what was the CSC and room before you flashed the devices with odin you could flash that firmware.
Tell me if it worked.
I tried rooting my S3 using the guidelines from this forum.. (Option 2: Only root)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1955423
Here is d procedure...
Download this CF Auto Root from here http://download.chainfire.eu/264/CF-...3g-gtn7100.zip
and extract it to .tar
Procedure :
1.Open Odin and select PDA tab
2.Point to extracted file CF-Auto-Root-SGN2.tar
3.Now switch off device and reboot in download mode
press Vol down + Home +Power, And then, press Volume UP button in Warning Page to enter the Download Mode
4.Connect device to PC and wait till device successfully added to com port (it will turn light blue)
5.Hit ‘Start’ to flash
6.Once it flashed successfully, you can see 'PASS' in table above the ID :COM, you can disconnect device from PC
7.Reboot device and you will have superSU in application drawer.
Everything worked well..till the last step..
After rebooting,touch panel doesnt work..and Welcome screen shows language selection.

Thank yu!
Looks like you flashed a file for a galaxy note 2 and not an s3.
You need to be careful and flash the right files to your phone or you could end up with a hard brick.
Have a look at the stickies on how to root.
Oh and make sure you have an international galaxy s3 9300 as that is this forum your in.

you flashed the wrong file (Note II), the process is correct but you need to flash the cf root/auto-root file for the S3 as mentioned! Try it again with it and see if it fixes your issue.
You Might wanna flash a stock firmware in odin first before you try rooting.

Flash stock rom then factory reset .
Then read the basic faqs and guides before flashing anything or ignore and head straight down the highway to Bricksville .

You need to be careful and flash the right files to your phone or you could end up with a hard brick.
Have a look at the stickies on how to root.
Oh and make sure you have an international galaxy s3 9300 as that is this forum your in.

So there is nothing I can do to make my phone's touch panel work??
One more thing is..when I open the phone in recovery mode(vol up+menu+power buttons) the android logo in the background is showing some X mark smething..So i guess its soft bricked rather than hard-bricked..so is there no way it can work?

One take to a service centre is best as you have a big problem and zero knowledge .
OR
You could try flashing CF Root recovery from development then booting to recovery format cache system data sd card and preload .
Then download mode and flash stock rom via Odin .

If you phone connects to your PC then try completely resetting the phone using Kies
Start Kies, then go to Tools then Firmware Upgrade and Installation, this process will wipe the phone and reinstall the latest firmware, you will need some details from under the phone battery but just follow the on screen instructions.

You need to ask yourself a simple question .
Is motherboard damaged yes = replace no = flash stock rom via Odin fails = service centre new motherboard .

Flashing stock rom doesn't fail..it jst doesnt improve its condition..Touch doesnt work! Flashing(its showing 'Pass' in Odin) and getting detected by computer works well..
As of changing motherbaord..thats wat I am planning to do after i go to my hometown..till then I want to try and make it work..since the symptoms doesn't imply motherboard damage!

Oh..got it now..
Jst out of curiosity..how does rooting some software destroy hardware?
ANd Cnat I jst change that destroyed part instead of Whole Motherboard>?
No.
You can destroy cpu, gpu by overclocking badly, overvolting, eventually internal card can be corrupted but all those scenario aren't linked to a simple rooting procedure (which is only writing two files on the system partition...).
You need to have a good diagnosis, either the digitizer is dead, or the connection of it on the motherboard. Our the motherboard.
Replacement won't be cheap especially for motherboard.
Hi all.
I think i have killed my Galaxy S3 i9300!!!
I rooted it and installed the Paranoid Android rom, but then decided to go back to stock rom as I couldn't access the play store.
Now here's the problem... I wiped dalvic cache and did a factory reset, but stupidly wiped the system at the same time.
There is no operating system on the phone at all now and my pc greys out the device when I plug it in.
Odin did recognize the phone, but I couldn't flash a rom to it as it kept getting stuck at 'nand write start' in all versions of odin.
When I try to start in recovery mode (volume up, power and home) I get the green android instead.
I read that it's game over if you can't enter recovery mode.
Have I killed my s3? :crying:
Possible you have damaged the NAND .
wiped the system at the same time>> then you just flash a stock rom via ODIN .
What phone have you what stock did you flash .
You have already posted this why start yet another thread ??

Sorry for the double post, I thought that the first one may have been in the wrong place, it won't happen again.
I never got to flash any stock roms at all because i'm new to all this and I assumed that doing a factory reset was going
to put me back on the stock rom automatically.
That's when I made the mistake of doing the advanced wipe and ticking the system box.
Excuse my ignorance... but is it possible to fix this even if I don't have recovery mode?
Thank you for your help.

Flash stock rom via Odin in download mode .

doing a factory reset was going
to put me back on the stock rom automatically. NEVER ever it just restores the last firmware flashed .
i'm new to all this and I assumed that's why we have multiple faqs guides and instructions .

Can you point me in the right direction for the correct stock rom please?
I'm fully aware of the faqs and guides, but I just wish I had read them BEFORE trying to do this!
What shall I do if I cannot get past 'Nand write start' in Odin?

You could try Keis first, if you don't have it install it, start Kies up and then go to Tools > Firmware Upgrade and Installation and follow the on screen instructions

Unfortunately I don't have recovery mode anymore, volume down takes me to Odin mode and volume up just shows me the green android!
you still got download mode good, just goto samfirmware and download a firmware from there
will he have lost his EFS having formatted his system?

I've read up on it and I see the importance of the EFS now
Am I right to think that if I have lost it, then the phone is pretty much useless?

I tried flashing official rom, but Odin got stuck at 'Nand write start' and Kies wouldn't recognize the phone.
Thanks for your help, but I think it'll have to be the service centre now!

Use Kies intilisation or whatever to chose your device and serial.
If that wont work flash recovery and then use recovery to flash a stock based rom.
