You'll need to download the stock firmware and start over with ODIN -- Here is a guide for the INTERNATIONAL version http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671969 but the steps are all thesame. Make sure that you have the AT&T version, and be sure to follow the instructions on the post word for word, and definitely do not click nand erase.

That's why I love Odin.

bricked SG3

Hello all,
Something went seriously wrong when installing custom mod on my SG3 => bricked
What's the status:
*unable to get in recovery modus
*able to get in download modus
*when I want to install another mod within odin it doesn't do anything, it completes installing in 1 second
it actually stops @ <ID:0/006> NAND Write Start!!
I can wait for hours and it just stops @ this step...:crying:
Anyone of you have any ideas as I'm running out of options..
Thank you for your help!

* installed CWM
* installed the cyanogen ROM
* installed font installer => rebooted => crashed (stuck on samsung screen)
* cleared data/cache in recovery modus
* tried to install stock ROM => stuck on samsung screen
* added pit file (read on the forum that it could help on bricked phones) , stock ROM and flashed with Odin
final result: no recovery modus, only download modus and unable to flash anything with Odin
If you can get to download mode you should certainly be able to flash with odin. That is download mode's sole purpose and afaik it is not affected by any rom installations.

Oh wait, you flashed a .pit file?
It was probably the wrong file. You should not have done that. Its pretty certain that is the cause.

Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
thanks for the feedback
the phone is recognized in Odin
I also think that the pit file messed it up (pit file was the one suggested for the SG3 => GT-I9300_mx_20120220.pit)
when installing PDA file via Odin it stops @ <ID:0/006> NAND Write Start!!
on the phone
status balk on phone is completed but not rebooting (it actually does nothing in Odin I guess)
Why don`t you read BEFORE you flash anything instead of AFTERWARDS
BUT I GUESS ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE IF YOU ARE NOT LIMITED BY ANY KNOWLEDGE.
You did it to yourself.
Boot into odin and flash a complete stock rom with NO pit file. Follow the instructions provided on these forums for returning to stock.
Never ever flash a pit again.

The point is that you should not flash anything if you don`t know the procedure and what to do exactly.
I hate what has happened to you but you could have prevented this mess you`re in if you were informed!

In a german board this problem got solved by flashing with the right pit file (and a 3-part firmware).
They said, "mx.pit" or "GT-I9300_mx_20120329.pit" should work.
HERE you get the files.
Unfortunately the original poster was not very specified with reporting which he had flashed, but he said it flashed.
Another one pointed out, that you need a 3-part firmware when flashing with repartition. Is that the case? I don't know.
EDIT: It can be that the solution wasn't the correct pit file, but only the 3-part firmware. Maybe try to flash a 3-part firmware first without repartition.
Best Regards
Rob

great info Rob!
I used the GT-I9300_mx_20120329.pit file now and I'm again able to flash via odin + see my recovery modus as well...
Just looking for the correct stock ROM for Belgium right now...
flashing other ROM's are resulting in Samsung logo loops even after clearing cache and clearing data/factory reset

tried to install cyanogen via zip on external sd and it stops after a few seconds and reboots...
This is pretty strange. You should be able to flash any of the international roms and have it work as they are interchangeable.
When you run the cyanogen zip is it throwing up an error or just flat resetting?
Tried redownloading the zip or using a different nightly?

So I wanted to downgrade back to I9300BVBLG 2_I9300ORABLG1_ORA everything went fine and I got a green PASS in Odin but when restated the phone would go no further then Samsung welcome screen and then just flashed with the blue led flashing very slow, I left it for 10mins but nothing, just the same. I closed Odin and then tried to reboot the phone..again nothing!! A friend told me to try again but this time with re-partition ticked and use this PIT GT-I9300_mx_20120220.pit with I did..hmm I wish I never!! That is when it all went Pete Tong
The phone started to re-partition got a big blue line and STOPPED!! I left it like that for 10mins before closing Odin. Now when I try to flash the phone Odin start but nothing happens!! I have a screenshot of Odin hanging but can not post it here yet
Can someone pls help me :crying:

First power down your device, Go to stock recovery(Home+power button+volume up), Select factory data reset there, Then go into download mode and flash the stock ics firmware..
Do not select re partition.

Then your best bet is to connect to samsung kies, If it detects your phone it'll go to recovery mode and will try to restore it, Try connecting it to kies.

No every time I try and flash the phone Odin just hangs at this point "NAND Write Start" and nothing happens after this and my SG3 just as a blue line across the screen, plus Odin takes ages to start the upgrade
you probably used the wrong pit file, there are ones for the 16, 32,64Gb models
Find correct pit
Flash it on its own with repartition ticked, no auto reboot
Flash stock 3 part firmware
Hopefully this will sort it

Maybe the re-partition is the issue but I got no experience in that area.
Yep probably another one broke the PIT ..
requires a service centre or flashing firmware like .

[Q] Help With Phone Recovery

So the other day i rooted my Samsung Galaxy S2 SGH-I777 and i ended up not liking it. So today I tried to remove the root by a factory reset using the settings option. While in the process it froze, so I removed the battery(BIG Mistake). It wouldn't turn on so I tried recovering via samsung kies which ended up not recovering due to "unexpected errors". Ok, then i tried Odin with a stock version of ics for my model, itjust keeps saying failed. At this point i'm frustrated and don't know what to do. All i'm trying to do is to get back to ICS 4.0.4 with NO root. Can somebody please help me? Any help is very much appreciated.
-Thanks

Root won't be removed by factory reseting. At this point you have or you are very close to bricking your phone. STOP, and answer these:
Can you get to the download mode?
Can you get Odin to recognize your phone in download mode?(does the COM port number light up in Odin?)
Do NOT have the repartition option checked in odin.
Use Odin 1.85 or 1.87 and leave all the options on default and loadup your Stock ROM in PDA section to get a clean flash and don't disconnect while flashing (big no no)
After Odin reboots your phone, disconnect the cable and pull the battery. Put it back in and do a full wipe/reset, and let it boot
If Odin fails to flash STOP messing with it, your next move should be to try the "[Heimdall][Odin][Stock][Root]UCKH7/KK6 Return/Unbrick to Stock (or Root)" by Entropy512.
Cheers and good luck, It happens to the best of us (learning is fun, and try to get something out of it too)

why does your Odin say epic 4g? try this odin ... attached. And check update bootloader.
Your stock ROM file is .tar stock right? you might have to download it again if this fails it might be a bad tar file.

Odin gets stucked while flashing

Hi guys,
I need your help.I want to help a friend of mine to flash stock jb rom.
When tried to flash the first odin stucked at hidden and the second time at system after changing usb port and rebooting the computer.
I found somewhere that flashing pit file then the firm may work
Is that because he didn't do a factory reset before flashing?
He's got an s3 I9300 with orange rom 4.0.4.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Flashing a pit will usually hard brick the phone. If odin is correct version, phone is connected properly and you are flashing the right rom for your phone then the worst had already happened, nand failure.
You are missing a lot of information in your post, what does the screen say in download mode and how did you arrive at needing to flash back to stock?

Write out exactly what the phone screen says when in download mode.
Did you disable Kies before the flash, sounds to me like kies interrupted the flash
I can't contact him right now.Is it sure that the phone won't go back to download mode if the pit file was passed without firm ? If not is it possible to recover it with Jtag ?
@slaphead20 yes I killed it from the task manager

As you've already flashed a pit I think you have a hard brick, all I can suggest is try this thread:
