My phone was stolen on Friday night and i didnt get around to getting it insured as i only had it a few days so had to take out a 2 year contract with 3 to get it for free as i previously paid €419 on a 6 month contract with o2 but they wouldn't do anything for me, anyway when i turn on the phone the 3 logo shows and same when i power if off, does anyone know how i can get rid of these 3 logos?
PS - Be sure and get your phone insured and be careful when you are drunk and dont flash it about

Two ways. One way root and replace them with the default ones from a stock rom.
Other way is to install a customer android rom.

Already rooted, the normal Samsung boot logo shows as well as the 3 so im hoping there is another way to get rid of the 3 logo?
Probably will install a custom ROM too but am gonna wait until there are a few to choose from.

Hi if you go to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671969
it explains the exact procedure. just download odin and flash unbranded csc http://androidfirmwares.net/PhoneCSC3/Download/12
this will remove 3 boot logos and carrier branding
You are the 1st person who has anything 3 on their phone everyone else like me have no 3 branding and unlocked handsets ... is this with 3UK
Giving it some beans on my blue s3
Sorry to hear about your bad luck getting your phone stolen.
I purchased the SGS3 in white from 3 in the UK and my phone came with branding and the SIM lock. There are probably different batches of stock in the stores - some locked/branded and others without 3's customisations.
I will be getting my SGS3 from Three UK (when they finally get some blue ones).
How can I remove the simlock from the handset?

cheers mate
Doesn't seem to work, when i go into download mode and connect the USB cable and start Odin it wont turn blue it just stays yellow, the necessary drivers have been installed and ive tried on a few different USB ports on my laptop, cant understand it as when i rooted the phone a few days ago using odin + CF root everything went ok but i cant seem to flash this csc, any ideas?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=27318692
Check that out, if you're not rooted ignore the Everroot options. And if you don't have CLOCKWORKMOD installed ignore the recovery clear option. Basically ignore step 7 and 8 if you're not rooted or don't CLOCKWORKMOD installed. Any questions let me know

Received a brand new Ace yesterday, and immediately rooted it with super one click with no problems.
However I then tried to run the 'Galaxy Ace Unlock apk' which I'd found elsewhere.
It generated an unlock pin, but after rebooting it stuck on the Galaxy Ace flash screen. After 5 minutes I pulled the battery out, waited, then rebooted. Now it doesn't even get to the Galaxy Ace screen when switched on.
The screen backlight comes on (with a black screen) for a couple of seconds, then off, then on - but it never gets any further.
So far I've tried
- Flashing Stock Froyo via Odin
- Flashing VillainRom via Odin
In both cases the phone enters download mode, Odin completes all steps without error, but on reboot I am left with the black screen of death again!
Anything else I could try?
I have the same problem.
Have you found a solution?

Hey!
Dose you RESET FACTORY SETTINGS and FORMAT CACHE in recovery, before flashing with ODIN?
CHEERS!
Did the light lit when you entered the download mode? That's the indicator.
I got the same proble, tried several firmwares with odin but, when the phone reboots it starts flashing again

The same thing happens to me, Anybody has any idea?
Just send it to the service center.
No other recovery method is know.
I have been in every forum arond for this kinda brick and there is no solution for YOU to do. Also there is absolutely no way for Samsung to see either say that after the first boot the battery went dead and it never started again. It will be covered by your warranty and brand new ace! Now dont go making stupid mistakes again hope i helped

Apk/sim bricked my phone.
Unlock Apk also bricked my phone in the same manner.
The app generating the code is not the problem on it's own, it's when you put the "other" Sim card in and reboot that does the damage.
I got a buzz when i could still get Download Mode and Odin gave me a PASS when i reflashed, but alas the phone never rebooted and it still flashed black at me.
I'm trying everything to bring it back to life before it goes to the Service Centre and i have to give them some blag as to why it's bricked.
Other than Download Mode i can get "Emergency Dload Mode"(ARM9) & RAMDUMP.

Even Samsung don't have an easy way to repair it, hence they replace the mainboard to fix the issue.
i tried flashing it and ionstalling a rom for the first time but it froze halfway through for like 3 hours so i just unplugged it and now this screen comes up...
no whenever i turn it on it gives me a screen with :
a phone .... an explanation mark in a triangle ! . .. . a computer
anything i can do?
also ive tried every button trick on trying to restore it and none of it works all of it just come with that screen. except for the download one where i press volume down home button and power

you are really not giving a lot of details here...all you are saying you tried installing a rom and then it froze halfway..
Are you rooted firstly?
If you are have you flashed CF-root kernel?
How did you try to install the rom?
More info and then more people can help you out buddy..see if you can get into recovery and restart your phone.
well... if you've tried "every" (its not like there are a lot) button combination... then just go buy a jig from ebay and force it into download mode...

Nothing from what you said would help..
He obviously flashed it with Odin, and he said he's getting a yellow triangle with a computer behind it..
From what I understood, he could get into download mode.
So just boot into download mode and flash stock ROM. That should do it.

anyone else seeing an increase in the "i bricked my phone" threads?
dont think its coincidence they are increasing after the american variants have been released. People need to check what model they have before flashing things.
OP: not saying thats what has happened to you as you dont say if you have the i9100 or not, hopefully you do.

its ok and same goes by my post as well buddy..we all been in his position one way or the other
1st - Your phone is not bricked if it show an image. Whatever image it is. The only real software way to brick your phone is to flash bad bootloader or stop a bootloader while they are being flashed. However, Bootloader are flashed first. So if your phone stoped half way, you should not have trouble too much.
Remove the battery from your phone for like a minute, then reboot your phone in download mode (vol- + home + power and when the phone light up, release power.) Then flash another rom from odin.
Also, what rom did you used ? If you flashed a rom for another phone, then you might have flashed bootloader for that phone on yours, which is bad. In this case you will surely need a JIG.
sorry im new to this whole rooting/flashing thing. i downloaded the lightning rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1095274
i have never rooted or doneanthing to my s2 before. all i did was follow the instructions on the page and thought it would be all good? it froze about a quarter of the way there in odin so i just took my phone out.
I usually find from this state I can get back to bootloader or download states
push and hold vol+ and home then power for bootloader
push and hold vol- and home then power for download
sometimes the phone can seem to freeze a little or even die (this happened to me loads on the galaxy s and once already on the s2) and removing battery sim etc or attaching the charger can jog it
however as other have said a JIG is your friend if for no other reason that even if you recover without it, custom roms up the rom count which some twitchy carriers might invalidate your warranty for, the jig will reset this
you can get them from ebay for less than £3 delivered, or there are instructions on this site for making them yourself if you are so inclined.
simply search 'galaxy s2 jig' on ebay mine was delivered today from portugal as I am way too lazy to make one and only wanted a counter reset anyway
I have a galaxy s2 that I adore and am very rarely away from it for more than 5 minutes.
A few months ago a mate rooted for me so He could install some free software he had (I never bothered with it in the end!)
I let my phone do an update a few nights ago and it got as far as saying your phone will reboot, after that all I got is the Samsung Logo and it flickers a bit???????? Is this a boot loop?
I've tried to get to the reboot screen where I can delete user data but get the same flickering screen?
I can get to the screen with the android logo and and downloading below it. I believe this to be the odin screen? I've read that is where you can flash new firmware onto the phone?
I work with computers everyday so I know my way round windows etc but what I could really do with is instructions on what to download to my pc, which firmware version I need and how to get it onto my phone?
I've read a bit about kernels?? I thought he was the fried chicken guy!
I'm on Uk Vodafone and I'm not bothered about losing any program's or settings that I have on my phone.
Please please help I go away with work on Monday and I'm dreading going with my spare Nokia
I'll happily buy a beer or 2 if someone can help me without me pleading dum to Vodafone support

Guides here (there's a bootloop thread link in that thread which might be able to solve the bootloop problem for you).
Here is your solution.... Since you do not bothered losing ur settings application and sms... Contacts...
First of check your mobile box and see the version.. Is it GT I9100 OR GT I9100G
Let me tell you one more thing... The screen which you can see with android logo and written "downloading " below is called DOWNLOAD MODE.
Steps to follow..
1.Download the stock rom from sammobile.com for your country... Go for release version 4.0.3
2. Download odin version 1.85 its an windows application so copy it to your pc.... And run it..
3.the extension of downloaded stock rom will. Tar or. Md5 if it is rar then see the content inside.. You have. Tar
4. Now go to download mode volume up, power button and home button..
5. Attache your mobile to your computer using data cable...
5.1 make sure you have no kies services running.
6 open odin.. In that you can see pda section give the path of stock rom on your computer.. Don't change any setting in odin.
7. Do start..
Done... One more thing by this you will lose your rooot so tell your friend to root again

Download stock firmware and restore via odin
Okay so I've had my s3 for quiet a while but never actually used it properly until today.
First issue was it didn't get past the samsung boot logo, it showed the carriers boot logo( three UK) followed by the samsung one but didn't go any further.
I thought oh crap I guess it's time for a reset. I do the usual factory reset through recovery mode. But noticed that it started saying E:/ removed or something.
Now not only no network carrier to be seen but stuck in samsung i9300 screen. Boot loop.
Next action fire up Odin and see if I can use the (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646610) to get back and downloaded THREE different firmware as I wasn't sure of which one to download as I couldn't access my settings.
Next thing I know Odin says pass but it is on this constant loop of green android man and samsung!!!
I removed the cable and closed Odin but still stuck on it. I can't access recovery mode only download mode.
What do I do guys?!
P.s all this time I had no root installed
I would suggest warranty claim as you have never rooted i

Hello everyone this is the official odin package for the galaxy mega ATT version. With this you can get your phone back working if you get the "This phone is not running authorized software crap. " etc . Also hope it encourages more people to find a root method without the fear of having a brick. As many of you know this package was nowhere to be found so I had to bribe a Samsung employee to give it to me which means it wasn't free for me but I'm sharing it with you guys so if you send me a beer my way i'll be happy not mandatory.
This package is in multiple parts:
I527UCUBNE7
AP: Must be flashed under PDA in Odin. This is the biggest file and contains your system,recovery and kernel partition Download
BL: This is the bootloader. If you already took the update ignore this but if you want to upgrade your phone you must flash this Download
CP: This is the modem and other network related partitions. You must flash this under Phone in odin Download
CSC: This contains carrier related settings for our firmare. Flash this under CSC in odin. Download
Highly Recommended to perform a factory reset after the flashing is completed. Let me know your results
Omg !! Super thanks bro !!!! =))))))))
So good !!!!! update successfully
Thanks again !!!
so the guys that have tried this can confirm that is working!
and also liked to know how root is being dealt with

Garack has been working on it and has actually posted a file to flash in Odin I beleive. He say that if it boots up, then root should be obtainable.

@ Sunderwear Thank you very much for the great post and instructions. I'm currently testing it out with my i527 AT&T with ODIN 3.09... will post results in a few minutes. My phone was stuck in reboot after official 4.4.2 AT&T update left it in loop mode... give me a few minuytes and I'll post my results!
Too close. I did all the steps, and indeed it passed all Odin steps (picture), but it's still stuck in loop mode. When I try to go into Recovery mode (Vol + and HOME), it will only show the blue letters on top of the screen (picture), then it reboots on its own... no fix do you know a possible fix for loop mode.
If I go to Odin mode (Vol - and HOME), this is what I got (picture)...

Yeah, the screen was replaced a while ago. The phone went bad once it installed the 4.4.2 official update. I will try use some other usb cable. I have plenty of microusb wires. Do you think the screen has something to do with it?

Ok, I used a different port using also a brand new official/original Samsung MicroUSB cable to retest it. :crying: no work, again stuck in loop mode. Tomorrow, I will get another computer to retest this with another one. Will post the results tomorrow.
When the phone loops, I do not have any letters that appear anywhere besides the Samsung Galaxy Mega logo. it just vibrates, and then it restarts without showing any messages/letters.
You mentioned "Red letters at System Upload" is that when I hold Vol - and home? because I only get the blue letters if I do the Vol+ and home.
Thank you for your patience man. I'm sort of a noob, well, not sort of!
I haven't tried this yet...but I will back up tomorrow and report back how it goes with my unit...I still have my factory with no knox bootloader so far..and was debating if I want to even try really...

No worries. I was asking because the same happened to me with a customers phone..got screen replaced..then he took the 4.4.2 ota update..got stuck at samsung logo bootloop..i loaded the firmware like 4 times..re partition with pit file and erase all nand...I would get stuck in the same screen saying entering recovery..So it's an issue going around. Last resort would be sending it to Samsung

Yes Sunderwear that will happen because there is 3rd parties making aftermarket screens and people were buying them as replacements...If you don't have the OEM screen the driver in the firmware won't work and it will hang...I run in to something like this on a Galaxy S4 I repaired...

Officially I have 2 that are not working properly and stuck on boot loop. My wife and daughter are working properly on 4.4.2 my son's now and mine are stuck in boot loop. Wife's phone has original screen and it's working properly, my daughter has a replacement screen I bought on ebay for about $160.00 on January. My son's I've replaced the screens about 3-5 times already (a ton of money wasted), and mine, recently I did replaced it on May (before the 4.4.2 update on June). Here goes the issue:
My son's phone updated today about 2 hours ago while we were visiting the AT&T store for U-Verse Quote. Did not know it updated until we got home... Sons' phone is stuck in boot loop also now!!!!!!!!!!!! What I did was I took my daughters phone apart (with expensive replacement screen and currently running 4.4.2), and installed the screen on my sons and then mine, and each phone would work flawlessly with that screen, so I took the current replacement screens I had from my phone and my son to install them on my daughter's and each one would go into boot loop.
After that, I re installed the good screen on my daughters back, and daughters work properly again. I guess the generic OEM screens from eBay I've been buying for $50 bucks are not compatible with 4.4.2 Kitkat, they are only compatible with 4.2.2 Jelly bean.
Anyone knows where I can buy original screens? I've contacted several sellers on eBay to see if the screens work on 4.4.2 because I don't want to spend more money on screens. I just got 1 from China 2 days ago, and that one also gets stuck in boot loop... so frustrated with screens. All my OT from work goes to pay for these issues... Help anyone? Anyone sells working 4.4.2 compatible screens?
Also, I will buy a broken ORIGINAL screens from ebay (like $7-$10) to test it out and verify. I will post results. Hope this experiment (and my sadness) will help you guys out if stuck in boot loop.
P.S. Oh yeah, I did do both phones on PDA, then all BL,PDA, etc... and I still get boot looped. I have to say THANK YOU to the original autheor because it does work! It's just my screens that doesn't work!!!!! HELP GUYS!!!!!:crying:
