Hi All,
First time Android use and rooter and I've got a problem with my S3. I have rooted successfully and then downloaded an app from Google Play which allowed me to change the font, after doing this and rebooting the phone it sticks on the boot screen
Can anyone help me to try and get my phone back to a functioning state?
PS I dont have an SD Card installed if that makes any difference?
Thanks
Dave
which app you downloaded from google play?
It was "Font Installer *Root*"
Thanks
Power off
Recovery = volume up + home + power (keep all pressed until recovery screen)

Looks like you have stock recovery.
Flash stock firmware with Odin from here:

Did that now and it went through the process but still stuck on boot screen
Did Odin show "success"?
First boot will take a while........... how long did you wait?
Tried just flashing the kernel?

PDA.............. it's in Intratech's [Guide] I linked earlier. Remember, it has to be .tar or .tar.md5 for Odin

Sorry, bit tired here, not much sleep last night, and the light bulb is only dim . Maybe I missed something easy Or you're missing a step somewhere.
You could try:
1. Flash Chainfire [RECOVERY][11.06.2012] ClockWorkMod Recovery 5.5.0.4 - "v1.4". This will give you root and CWM recovery.
2. Download a custom ROM xx.zip (don't extract, it's flashable zip for CWM recovery I would recommend Wanamlite
3. Copy to external sdcard
4. Boot into CWM and Install zip from sdcard > choose zip from sdcard > flash.............
5. Allow at least 5+ mins for first boot
[ROM][XXALF2][15 Jun][V1.2] WanamLite Smooth, Stable & Battery Friendly
Or.
[ROM][CWM][ZSALED/XXALF2][ICS][4.0.4] Odexed & Fully Deodexed Stock Roms
Thanks for all your help, took it back to the shop and they've exchanged it for me....

Dear Friends
I HAVE MESS-UP WITH MY i9300!!!!
The incident is I was using custom rom, and installed some stupid app called "Adblock" or something,
and then, my phone just keep went-off for about 8-10 times a day. So then, I decided to reflash
custom rom by CWM, and after I pressed install in Aroma Installer, it just kick me out all of sudden, and
then, I couldn't get back to CWM anymore, so I decided to flash some stock rom by odin, but what
had happen was it starts until "Nand write start" and stacked for a while, and then just FAIL me.
On the net, I found that Checkrom Resurrection V4 could rescue softbrick i9300, I tried, but
no luck either. Finally, just now, I tried a 3 files stock rom with pit, and it came out as:

8. uninstall all applications relative to Kies
have you guys got any idea what can I do? I am thinking to mess-up the phone even badly (till it couldn't switch on), so that I can take it to Samsung Service Center for warranty replacement, but have you got ANY method I can do that to mess it up? Or anything I can over-come from the soft (or hard) brick. PLEASE Give me some help guys. I am very struggle.

They have had to replace parts (took them two attempts with different bits apparently), but dont give any more details than that.

Incorrect PIT may brick your phone .
This needs a service centre repair .

Flash via "Firmware Upgrade And Initialization" in the "Tools" of Samsung KIES 2.5 instead of ODIN. The firmware must fit your phone because it get firmwares according to your serial number. However, if you find firmwares outside, there may be a little difference due to different batches.
But my phone just couldn't boot up, it held on the screen of "samsung" logo, so I couldn't connect to kies at all

You don't have to boot up your phone in order to use the "Firmware Upgrade and Initialization" in the Samsung KIES.
Thanks for your advice mate, I tried, but still no luck, what happen was my PC can pickup the connection of my phone, but once Kies sending data into the phone, it just became fails and has to be disconnect. I tried to reconnect and ran through it again.. no good. Now, I am planning to give a soft electric shocks, and make it go into dead sleep, so that I can take it to service center. Before that, any other think I can try?

That means you failed to use the download mode which supports the "Firmware Upgrade and Initialization" right?
But electric shocks is not a good way as they may discover you.
Yes, I think so, I can connect the phone to Kies, after Lies finished download firmware and ready to flash, it kicked me out and asked me to disconnect the phone.
Except using electric shocks, I can't think of any other ways as I think I have tried everything. Any other method I can try?

What kernel to choose:
The important part is the Kernel code:
XWLPX-NEE
Kernel code is in red (LPX), for this example, you need an LPX ROM. However, often, you can mix kernels when they are close: LPF kernel with LPG ROM...
NEE code doesn't matter at all, I add it for reference. It is the CSC
XW: mixed, often doesn't matter for close regions. For example, XW and XX are often interchangeable. However, mixing a BU with an XW ROM or inversly, sometimes works, but often ends in a bootloop. In that case, either boot into recovery or download mode to reflash

I would recommend, downloading this file again it is MD5checksum issue.
Or
try siyah
download Siyah v6 Beta3 from this link http://d-h.st/Dve (checksum : 9369125b6c855b8dc77cb5acd54bb405 ) and flash as it is.
http://www.gokhanmoral.com/
You can always verify checksum using tools like http://checksumtool.sourceforge.net/
Keep Calm it is not a hard brick, just a kernel issue.

I have a Samsung Captivate SGH-I897. I have been experimenting with various roms to check them out. Now no mater what I try to do I get status 0 error. I can still get into semaphore cwm recover v6.0.2.7 mode. I can get into download mode, but odin will not see the device anymore (it used to). I have tried flashing the semaphore kernel again and even that gives status 0 and installation aborted.
Please help, I have to have my phone for work. I'm on call have to get emails on it. This is very urgent for me.
Thanks so much for any help.
Have you ever successfully flashed a ROM on this device before or is every ROM doing this?

I have successfully flashed about 6 or so. Just tongiht. Now any I try, even the previously working ones dont work.
Thanks so much for your assistance.
Don't you have any nandroid backup you can restore?
Unfortunately I do not.
If someone can tell me what files in the sdcard to replace I can still mount the sdcard to my PC.
Thanks!!!
Are you modifying the ROMs in any way before flashing them? Are you using UOT Kitchen? Status 0 error typically means the ROM is using the wrong kind of flashing script for your device. So, if you download a straightforward ROM which was designed for your phone, it should work.
Last resort, you should be able to flash to stock ROM.
Have you tried reflashing your recovery? You might take this opportunity to try an alternative recovery.
I have not tried to modify roms, im just using as is. I have tried to flash to an earlier version of cwm reocvery but get the status 0 error. If you know of a way I can go back to stock without odin I can. Atleast I can get calls in case of emergency.
Thanks!!!
Have you read this?
I can connect to the phone in download mode with Heimdall, but cant seem to find a Heimdall kernel package. Can you provide a link please?
Thanks again so much.
Sorry, this is all new to me. I've never used a Samsung phone or Odin, and I've never even heard of Heimdall before today. Just trying to help you troubleshoot.
Thanks for all your efforts.
Can anyone tell me how I can manually copy files to the sdcard strorage to recover my phone?
Thank you.
If you can connect via adb, you can transfer files that way. If you're not comfortable using adb, you can use Android Commander. If you have a card reader, though, you can just take the sd card out & put it in your computer.
I can transfer files, I just dont know what files to transfer and where to put them. Flashing does not work so it would have to be manually replacing like the system or data folder I'm thinking.
Can someone please help with this process or give a better one?
Thank you so much for any assistance.
As an update, I have been able to get Odin working again. I tried to use Odin to flash the .tar file for corn, but it does not even get to recovery mode. Next I used Odin to flash the tar file for Semaphone-JB-4.2.1-captivate and can get back into recovery mode again. I tried to use recovery mode to flash some of the past ROMs that worked yesterday, but still get the status 0 Installation aborted error.
So how can I completely wipe the phone and start completely over?
Thanks so much!!!

I made these notes for myself, but maybe they will helps someone else. Warning: Im a noob at this, but this worked for me.
1. performed "i897uckk4_Odin_One_Click_-_Stock,_CONTAINS_Bootloaders,_Re-partition,_Full_Wipe"
2. Follow http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1350266, skip step 5, Use odin to install "speedmod-kernel-i897-k13e-500hz.tar" Phone only boots to the Galaxy S screen, but that is okay.
3. Boot to recovery mode, mount storage, copy "cm-9.1.0-captivatemtd.zip" and flash it.
4. Boot to recovery mode, mount storage to copy Flash gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip, then flash it.

Try Heimdall one-click, search the thread. You should be good, don't worry.
Your phone is T959v? Be careful to flash the right files, whatever phone you are on.
That's the soft brick screen just plug into Odin and flag the right file
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda premium
You should be able to get into download mode, although it can be a bit tricky when your soft bricked.
A Jig will do the trick though (Home made or tailor made) if your looking for an easy way to get into DL Mode that is
Cheers,
Chris
Odin will see the phone at that screen no need to worry about download mode

If you are getting a "Phone.. ! ..Computer" image (seen above) when booting phone, yes, you are bricked but it is reversible! Just follow these steps...
Make sure you have ODIN OPEN with admin privileges!
1.) Take off your back cover, remove your sim & mirco sd card.
2.) Remove your battery.
Make sure you have the USB plugged into your PC but NOT your phone!
3.) Hold the volume buttons.
4.) Put the battery in.
5.) Put the USB in.
You don't necessarily need the download mode image to be present. As long as you are getting the COM ID to light up yellow in ODIN, just flash back to stock like normal.

He was on a Galaxy S 4g (t959V) phone so he was in the wrong forum. If you have a samsung vibrant (t959) then go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=849028 and use steps 2-4 to go back to stock, the files are there also.

You should ask for help in the galaxy s 4g (t959v) forums, this is for the t959 vibrant. Here is a link that may help you http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1365957

So this is what happend. I tried to flash the latest official firmware from sammy, whent in to download mode on the phone, selected the right PDA. But then I got this message:
Added!!
Odin v.3 engine (ID:8)..
File analysis..
SetupConnection..
Initialzation..
Get PIT for mapping..
Firmware update start..
cache.rfs
Complete(Write) operation failed. All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
Then I tried ALL the USB ports and after a while I got this message instead:
Can't open the serial(COM) port.
And upon that, now the pc does not recognize my s2 when I plug it in. Ps I still have the phone up and running in download mode just in case it would f*** up my if I shut it down!
Please help me with this mess! :crying:
Ok, so trying all the usb ports is one thing to do.... There's plenty of other things you need to try. If you can still get in download mode don't stress, 99% of people get out of the situation you're in.

it is not hard brick...btw now when you connect you phone did odin detect ur phone on this screen??? if yes flash a stock firmware..if not remove battery and pres power+volume down+home then insert battery n check whether your phone goes to download mode or not... if goes download mode flash a stock fimrware.. if not and Odin doesnt detect ur phone then you can go to force download mode by using a USB jig...
It's already in download mode; the phone--warning triangle--pc is forced download mode.
