[Q] Format System - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
I have accidentally formatted my Galaxy S3 system and now I only get the Samsung logo. My laptop cannot detect my phone and it has no response. :crying:
Can anyone help me with it? With GREAT thanks!!!!

Hi noob
Formatting the system partition removes the OS, therefore the phone can't boot but that's not a problem.
All you need to do is boot up your phone on Download mode (keep volume down + home button + power button pressed) and then flash an official ROM through Odin from your PC. Get the XXALF6 ROM preferably from the official roms thread, as it's the latest.
Once flashed your phone will boot fresh like new again.

Or just flash one from cwm if you have a rom zip stored on your phone.
If you don't then Odin it.
Or adb push the zip to your sdcard in recovery.

Please infoem moderator to move to Q&A, thanks.
If you formatted system, you probably did it through CWM Recovery?
So, just flash any custom ROM.zip from external sdcard via CWM recovery and reboot.
Else, follow the suggestion in previous post.

Hey guys! I have the same problem except when i try to flash the rom through odin it gives me: "system.img.ext4" and then "Complete(Write) operation failed". Is there anything that I did wrong?

Stuck at Bootlogo

Hey folks,
I got a Galaxy S2 GT-I9100 and upgraded my custom rom to Resurrection Remix ics v1.8 today (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1436854).
The problem is that I am now stuck at the bootlogo -.- I fear that my phone is bricked now as I cant boot it up anymore to flash a new/old rom. Is there any way to get a new rom flashed via download or recovery mode? The main problem is that I cant put new files on thje phone via USB so imho it is impossible for me to flash something new... Hope there's a way or that someone can help with his problem.
best regards,
daZza
Lol flash via odin...?

your phone isnt bricked, just noobed, its ok
If you still got cwm, which I think you have, format data, system, cache, sdcard
Download the custom ROM again, use mount option in cwm and copy file.
Or after wiping/ format, use Odin and flash the stock ROM

Ye I still got CWM, but when trying to mount USB storage it says: E:Unable to open ums lun file (No such file for directory)...
No I mean, from mount and storage press mount, and plug in the cable. And copy the new file from computer

[Q] GT-i9100 (SGS2) Stuck at reboot after formating

What the title said:
My SGS2 stucks at the reboot logo, SGS2 GT-i9100 >> Logo >> repeating.
I wanted to format my phone cause it was almost full, so i format it, but it doesnt work and i got the same space free.
So i tried to do it manually in Recovery Mode, i formated some stuff, but i formated something like: Format Pre-Load (or something like this) and some more stuff, if im right that was only data/cache etc, and system to.
But now my phone wont reboot....
Help!!!
Phone connects to Odin only, i tried to flash the file i use to rooted my phone again, but i get: FAILED.
Srry for bad English....
Hey guys,
I have a similar problem after attempting a root on my Galasxy i9001T.
I used Odin following the instructions on this thread,http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125414, I've gotten as far as using Odin 1.83, using the GT-I9100T_DUKF2_original.tar as my insure kernel. Odin gave me the green light "OK" and I waited for my phone to boot upt.
My phone gets far as the initial "Samsung SII GT-I9100T" and stays there, there was no yellow triangle, which expected from the instructions. The phone recharges and is able to go into recovery mode, but is Odin is having trouble communicating to the phone via USB, it won't establish a connection, so I have a strange feeling that I've bricked my phone and need help to fix the problem if possible.
My phone model and kernel are below, any assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers.

You should not have formatted preload. Why didn't you just format the internal sd card?? Anyway now you will have to flash official firmware with odin. you can find so many guides on how to do that
...and to format your system wasn't the best idea also

Indeed.
/System partition is where the rom is stored.
So, what i need to do, flash a official rom with odin?
Tar file?
Can someone just send me the link of the thread that can help me?
I dont want to fail again And i want to fix my phone ASAP.
Already thx

You cleaned everything boy even the Android OS
You just formated your whole phone you deleted your android os. you have to use ODIN to flash rom download some official firmware of some custom rom or if you have cwm download the rom transfer the zip to sd card or internal on your phone and flash it from cwm. And remember if you want to clean up your phone completly Just use factory reset in setting and if you want to delete all files in your internal sd check delete all files. Never format SYSTEM and PRELOAD
Now he's got a clean device alright.
I can just put a custom rom on it?
Using Siyah kernel, Philz, CWM or another? Does this matter?
Otherwise is put a rom on my sdcard and i put my sd in my phone and i flash it.
I putted a rom on my sd, installed it in Recovery Mode and its working again, thx for the support.

[Q] Mount internal or ext SD card from Recovery

Hi guys,
I basically wiped my phone and completely forgot to copy the ROM I wanted to flash into my ext SD card. Now, the phone has no ROM to boot into and I need to be able to mount it onto Windows from within the recovery to be able to do it. I'm running CWM 6.0.2.7
Has anyone ever done this? What should I do?
Thanks
Wipe data doesn't mean format (like PC) it's just a factory reset
you can flash any official FW for your device by Odin
So it isn't possible for Windows to detect the phone in any way so I can copy the ROM into it?
It's possible by using ADB and push it
but why you don't boot up your device and copy it?
Use adb to push the file onto the card. Or remove ext. SD card and use a reader to copy it over.
Here is a good adb interface, it has easy push/pull where you just supply the two file paths and hit go,

Thanks for the prompt replies everyone.
I just re-flashed an original FW through Odin, rooted it back, re-installed CWM Recovery and now tried to flash a new rom, in this case, Foxhound and after it tries to reboot it comes back into CWM always... it never boots into the ROM..
Anyone has any clue why this would be happening?

The ROM? Just did and the same thing happens, boots up to Samsun Galaxy logo, then that "eye" logo then reboots again into CWM. At all times.
I just installed Omega just to try it out and it works, boots into the ROM, with Foxhound it doesn't even reach the Foxhound Logo, it reboots and goes back to CWM... Any ideas? I can't post in the Foxhound thread due to lack of posts
Flash stock Rom, and allow it to boot up properly before you do anything else....did you do that?

Yes, two times already. Then rooted, then flashed CWM Recovery then wiped data etc, flashed foxhound and same thing happens. Tried Omega and it boots into it, it's only Foxhound and I really wanted to try it...
I'm sorry this thread has derailed into another issue but thought it wasn't worth cluttering with yet another thread.
Is it possible to shut down the phone from CWM Recovery aside from doing a battery pull?
Could be a bad download. Try downloading again.

Do you have a custom recovery installed?
You have to re flash your phone. Try read threads in your phones forum.

[Q] Stuck on boot logo - GALAXY Pocket Neo GT-S5310 - Can't access recovery mode

Hi
I have a Samsung Galaxy Pocket Neo GT-S5310...
The sad thing is that, a while ago it stopped working and now it's stuck on the boot screen (Samsung GALAXY POCKET Neo GT-S5310)
I have tried to perform a factory reset through the built-in recovery mode (volume up + home + power), but unfortunately, I couldn't access the recovery mode and the phone goes directly to the boot screen.
And since the only thing I could do was accessing the Download Mode, so I tried to recover it by installing an official firmware with Odin3_v3.07... but it didn't solve the problem...
So what would you guys suggest?
can't delete this reply... could an admin please do it?

Cant boot to recovery
Hi sorry for the thread revival but I have run out of ideas. Same problem as OP. Odin flash is successful but stuck on samsung logo when trying to boot to recovery.
S5310i 4.4.2
Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Anyone found a solution to this?
When you use Odin to flash, when it has finished, it always boot to recovery, there you have to wipe data and cache, then it works properly!

After flashing recovery with odin I am still stuck at the S5310 Neo splash screen unable to boot into recovery. Has this maybe got something to do with a conflict between android versions? As the S3510i comes with 4.4.2 stock, not 4.1.2.
Did you tried using the pit file for re-partitioning?

Thanks for your help. Could you please explain more about this? Where would I find the pit file to flash? Do I tick re-partition in odin? Never flashed pit before. worried about bricking the device.
I am struggling to find the PIT file for my specific device (S5310i). its only on a handful of websites asking for paid subscriptions. Could anybody possible direct me to where I can find:
CORSICAVE3G_EUR_OPEN. Pit
I have downloaded the corsicass.pit and S5310_corsicass.pit but am not sure if this will work on any S5310 variant?
