Well, i got no answears on my other thread and i tried to solve it by myself
So, i got on this tutorial how to instal the original settings. I flashed with odin and now my phone wont boot (even recovery/download mode are not loading) hehehehe. But Odin recognise my phone.
Is there any method to just format the whole thing and re-install android?
Can anyone help me?

boot into recovery mode, wipe data and cache.
now turn off.
configure ODIN with the firmware of ur choice.
then boot the phone into download mode.
connect phone with usb cable, when ready, flash the firmware and wait till reboot. i have reflashed lots of times without any problem.
Its not booting on recovery mod. Neither downloading

Do you mean, you can still login via adb?
yeah, do something via adb. My pc and Odin still recognise my phone.
1. Than you should see with adb logcat where it is actually stucked at.

This is rather a big thread you're refering to.
2. Flashing with Odin
==================
(2.a) Which procedure did you follow exactly?
(2.b) Did Odin report the success at the end with : PASSED (with blue background)
(2.c) Did your phone reboot after Odin logs on the left the reset message?

Simple. if your phone is under warranty.. don't worry. as long as it doesn't boot... Samsung doesn't care.. bring your phone down and they will change the motherboard FOC!

Hi,
I think my phone has a serious problem.
I was on the cm9 nightly from june 16 and everything was working fine, after that i decided to flash siyah kernel 3.3.2, and again everything worked as it should initially.
Now a few minutes ago I wanted to flash the latest nightly via rom manager .
I downloaded the rom and wanted to boot into recovery mode, it didn't work
I tried restarting, but it would not boot anymore. Mind rebooting was working fine before.
Only download mode was working so i went into download mode and flashed siyah kernel odin version. The flash was successful but now the phone wont boot at all. no download mode , no recovery, just the samsung logo and after that, nothing.
I was probably stupid to try to reflash the kernel via odin.
have I killed my phone?
Edit: Oops you said no download mode :S
Do you have a JIG ?
Or just take out the battery for 5 mins and put it back. Try to enter download mode again.
if it works, flash a stock samsung firmware

no i dont have a jig, i probably have to buy one.
Already tried to take out the battery for 5 min, no download mode.
So I should be able to get into the download mode with the jig?
Another question, how could that happen? Everything worked fine until i tried to boot into recovery mode

It will not work if you have an ICS bootloader. (correct me if im wrong) If the jig wont work, your only option is to get a JTAG or to send it to samsung for service.

Honestly I don't know.

JIG is your last chance if something is really wrong.
Try this.
Connect your device to your computer
On your computer, check whether there is a usb device problem in the device manager

Open a command console (start/cmd)

adb reboot download

Don't use ROM Manager, weird stuff happens when it is used (the same problem happened to me, not a brick though). As to why your problem occurred, nobody will know, but at least if the problem occurs again, you will know how to fix it
Chris.
it is too late for this, but... i personally stopped using the rom manager. it (soft) bricked my phone twice. I think its always better to download the rom manually and manually enter the download mode anyways.
but maybe it's just me or you had bad luck
So rom manager could be the reason.
I never actually used rom manager to flash directly, i just used it to download and then boot into recovery from rom manager then flash.
Don't use Rom Manager if you have a kernel with CWM in particular (has also been known to cause probs for people not running kernels with CWM as well). Rom Manager has a habit of breaking CWRecovery and/or causing bootloops/soft bricks.
Use/have one or the other installed on your phone (I.E if you're running a kernel with CWM, use that & uninstall Rom Manager).

Read one of the numerous guides on updating using Odin. It's easy, as long as your boot loader is intact
One such guide is found here

You will need to boot into download mode then flash your stock rom using odin or if you want to flash a custom first flash siyah kernel via odin and reboot into recovery and continue.
If you cant get into download or recovery etc then your device is screwed and you will need to get a JTAG repair or mobo replacement.
PS. Dont ask what download mode is, use search.
Hi all, hope somebody can help me.... I am currently stuck in a boot loop on my i9300....
How did this happen? well....
I'll start at the beginning... I received an ota update notification for the 4.3 update and without checking the internet to find out how good it was/wasn't, i stupidly downloaded and installed it! as we all now know, its terrible!
So.... in an effort to get out of the nightmare that is 4.3 i downloaded odin on my computer and rooted my phone with cf auto root, i then downloaded I9300OXAEMG4_BTU from sam mobile. I put my phone in download mode, hooked it up to the computer and flashed the said xaemg4 rom via odin. Everything seemed to go well and the phone rebooted.... but now my phone just continually shows the swirling samsung boot screen and never gets past it!
So, what went wrong and how do i sort this mess out?? Should i try to reflash the rom again with odin will i just make things worse?
Just for info, i do not have a custom recovery on my phone, i just used odin to flash.
Please help me out guys. :crying:
Cheers

Hey there, I had a similar problem, what I did was re-install the Samsung drivers and reboot the computer also I turned off my lock screen and activation on the phone. Between the two of those things it allowed ODIN to have success.

you fail because you need a pit file..I can flash my normal firmware without a problem..but if I try a other one for example a provider one..it fails..for that we need the pit..and for that we need root..to extract it from the phone..and I don't won't to root ATM..
So how can I fix the device?
I tryng to use the Smart Switch PC but my device does not appear in the list to recovery emergency
I reinstalled the usb driver..

O.k the only way I know around this without finding your original firmware and flashing that, is to:
flash the firmware again, and wait until it fails again,
then hold vol down + power + home to get it to restart in to download mode again but keep odin open,
then flash CF autoroot .
then wait for the phone to reboot and it will install root then it will restart two more times on it own then should boot into the O.S.
(i take no responsibility if you mess up you device though but I have done this on more than one occasion and it always works for me)
I expect you could probably do this will another recovery(stock/twrp) instead of the CF autoroot one but have yet to try.
but you probably will be better off finding original firmware but you will not have Portuguese as you want.
Good luck with trying to fix your device

Maybe you can try each of the stock versions until you get the right one for your particular device. Also maybe a model number would help someone on here to identify what version you have, I don't know just throwing that out there.

Hi Guys, in urgent need of help. I have a Samsung galaxy S3 I9300 that hangs on boot screen and freezes. The phone will not go into recovery mode at all just goes direct to download mode. I have tried to re-flash the stock firm ware using odin but have run into problems as initially it asked for a pit file and them once I got this fails and says cannot repartition. on top of this I believe the problem with odin may be a comms issue as when I try installing the device drivers when connecting phone to computer, this fails even though I have already downloaded and installed this. I have never rooted my phone but I do believe the phone is soft bricked?
so to summarize there is a comms issue from phone to pc and flash issue which are probably both connected.
any help is very much appreciated. Thanks in advance
