Hi! A newbie here.
I wanted to flash ics rom over 2.3.4(device is rooted(superoneclick)).
I downloaded rom manager via market, tried getting into CWrecovery, however got this message: E:"Failed to verify whole-file signature".
I read somewhere that I need to flash "PDA" with a .tar via Odin in order for CWR to work. So I downloaded the tar mentioned on the site, then began flashing, with the following results:
<ID:0/005> Odin v.3 engine (ID:5)..
<ID:0/005> File analysis..
<ID:0/005> SetupConnection..
<ID:0/005> Initialzation..
<ID:0/005> Get PIT for mapping..
<ID:0/005> Firmware update start..
<ID:0/005> recovery.bin
<ID:0/005> NAND Write Start!!
<ID:0/005>
<ID:0/005> Complete(Write) operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
Now, when I turn my phone on it says: "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies & try again."
Kies can not recognize the phone, however, Odin can, and pc does the connected beep when device is reconnected.
Is there a way for me to fix my phone, or did I just made a brick out of it?
Flash back to the stock from and then retry. That's what I did for my very first from too.

I apologize humbly for my n00bishness, but how do I do that exactly?

Retry.
Try a different usb port and different usb cable.
I downloaded a different rom, rooted with cwm, made a backup, copied cooked rom next to backup, restored rom via cwm.
working like a charm, thank you everyone.

Hi, after trying out some custom roms like CM9-10 and Omega my phone suddenly started rebooting. It lets me enter the PIN and starts up but after a qouple of seconds it reboots again.
The wierd part is that it autostarts after I insert the battery, but I can enter both CWM and Download mode.
I have tried enter CWM and do a wipe but phone reboots in the middle of the process, same goes when trying to flash CM9 or any other rom I have on the internal SD.
I have also tried following a Swedish guide to restore it to stock using Odin, but after adding the PDA and pressing start I get a Fail in Odin to, something about NAND write fails.
Does anyone have a solution for me? Should I tick re-partition or do something other in Odin?
I would suggest boot into recovery. Wipe Dalvik cache. Flash Rom. Wipe both caches. reboot.

Well I think so, it was sold in Sweden.
The problem is that it reboots doing most of the actions in CWM, I think I have managed to wipe Dalvik but as soon as I try to install a rom it just reboots.
I also tried rooting again using Odin 1.85 but it fails with that version too.

If all else fails get yourself a S3 USB Jig. I bought one, funnily enough it arrived today from Hong Kong and it only cost something like 2,50€ delivered free. Then install a stock rom.

If your Nand is corrupt i dont think you can get out of it......99 percent of the time if you can get into download mode your good. but if you having Nand Write issues, i dont know if there is a coming back from that.
hope thats not the case and another member can shed some better light on the subject.
Nand. See posts regarding. PIT today.

Could you post a link to that thread? I found this one and have tried flashing some of the PIT-files but it does not work. Or should I flash some other files at the same time?
Ok, following one guide witch seams to fix my problem is that I need a 3-part firmware. Every Firmware I have downloaded contains:
boot, cache, hidden, modem, recovery, system -if I extract them one extra time. Is that right? Where should I load them in odin in that case? If not could anyone direct me to a download-page for 3-part firmwares? (I downloaded the last one from samfirmware.com)
It is very strange that the core functions kind of work as I can boot normaly into the system and even run an app if I am fast, then reboot.
Downloadmode works untill I try to flash something.
CWM works until I try to do a Wipe or flash a rom, I can wipe dalvik and some other stuff, but not cache, data and some other. I noticed that You could partition sdcard from CWM should I try that? and if so what should i select in the next screen about partition size?
I own a Orange Samsung S2 i9100 handset. This was working without problem until this morning where it was stuck on bootscreen. Recovery mode does not work.
I tried to update firmware using Odin 3.07 however this does not work. It fails to install.
I am now stuck with the message "Firmware upgrade encountered an error".
I cannot access SD card so rooting etc seems unlikely.
Any ideas?

I have tried philz recovery steps however this also fails in Odin.
I have tried different usb ports and reinstalling drivers. However Odin can see the phone, so it may not be a USB driver/port issue.
The biggest hurdle is getting Odin to run the flash.

Followed instructions in this thread using md5 files for i900?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2201860
Odin packages instructions: Samsung Only
They come in the form of .tar.md5 file
boot into download mode
start odin3 and configure it as in picture below
connect phone in download mode to PC via USB
press start to flash the tar.md5 package
normally, phone should auto-reboot into recovery.
If it reboots into main system and your recovery remains stock, repeat above steps and untick "autoreboot" in odin. Once flash is done, keep pressing the 3 buttons combo to for a reboot into recovery.You should see the new CWM
when in recovery, if you choose option "reboot system now" and you get "yes - disable flash recovery", select that option to avoid stock recovery overwriting cwm

Whatever I do, Odin still seems to fall over at same place.
What do I need to perform a full factory reset? I take it use Odin to install firmware?
Try flashing JB leak firmware. It's a 3-part firmware which will wipe as it flashes. Google 'JB leak i9100 Samfirmware', it should be the first link.

This doesn't work. I have assumed from your suggestion that I use Odin to install firmware via Odin. This fails as well.
I now have a new SD Card I could use to load any software onto the device. However I can not get to the recovery mode screen at all (only download mode). Therefore have no idea what to do now!
I also think my phone is worse now - on download mode screen:

First of all READ. As everybody is saying Ok first question, when You go download mode can you see model name - 9300GT ? If so that means everygthing is solveable.
Next you have messed something and You need to step by step check it. If You want to still work on CM11 you need to flash CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4 to make sure that on the level of recovery everything is ok.

Than try to flash again Your ROM. We will see where this will bring You.
Thx for reply. So i can see model name in download mode GT-9300 and as you said i try to flash that kernel...

When I used to be having such problem I was trying to chaoticlly flash everything. Now I can say that this was stupid. Every sytuation is diffrent but some are simmiliar.
Try this topic at least You will be having stock rom with fully func. S3 If it helps you than you will go with Custom ROM otherwise>>> Root and than ROM.

Hello,
Recently I bought a second hand Samsung Galaxy SIII 9300 with Android 4.3. Because of privacy reasons I’d like to install cm 13.0 on the phone. I already had CM on my former phone, the Nexus 4. This was very easy to install, but I have some difficties with the Samsung Galaxy S3. These are the things I already tried:
I tried to install TWRP 2.8.4 and CWM via Odin 3.1203 in Windows 8. You can see here the log:

I enabled USB debugging
I unchecked Auto-reboot in Odin.
After I installed TWRP I removed the battery.
Can you help me with my problem?
According to Odin, TWRP succeeded. Can you boot into TWRP? You flashed the correct version of TWRP?
Hello
I cannot boot into TWRP. I am sorry to put it in my question, but that is my question. I tried to flash TWRP 3.0.2.2
Open Odin, only check f reset time, flash, when you see the "reset" in the Odin status window, remove USB cable from phone, remove battery, replace battery, use buttons to get into TWRP.
Root then flash. Flash Chainfire autoroot then flash your recovery, then flash your rom.

You're welcome. Further advice is to make a backup of your phone once it is set up as you like it. That way, if anything goes tits up you have half of the job already done.
With twrp it's only a matter of time before it (twrp) goes mental and you'll have to resetyour device amd start over. I found the last official clockworkmod recovery the most reliable and have had 2 solid years from it. Also, get a copy of your stock rom from somewhere. You'll need that one day too!.
