[Q] HELP: How to unbrick from flashing a .pit via Odin - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Good day gang,
I was trying to sort out a USB Host problem and from another forum I was following a thread in which they stated to flash a .pit etc etc etc. Last time i do something from another forum. Ive been here since WinMo days....i know better than that....
Well...I've loaded up Odin....got my ROM (Factory) and it would hang on NAND Write Start. From there it would do nothing.
"Tech Support" :silly:
Thanks Mate.
PS- It's a I-9300

Had that yesterday (only worse, Odin stopped half way during the flash), pull the battery and wait 30 seconds, put back battery and cover. Insert a jig in the phone`s usb port and you`re in downloadmode. Now flash a stock rom with Odin V3 3.0.4.
If you don`t have a jig you could try in manualy (volume down + menu + power button at the same time).If that doesn`twork there are threads on this site to revive your phone after a bad flash, please search for them. Good luck

I dont have a jig, but I can get the phone in download mode. When I do, I choose in the PDA section my ROM, Reboot and F. Reset Time, and START then this happens:

From there it hangs.....the usual SYSTEM prompt on the top and the bar which shows progress dont appear.
Do i need to reflash a .pit to revert back?

Try 2
So I decided to try to flash it without the F. Reset Time option and this is what I got:

Still if u guys know how to unbrick, please ring in...

First close everything Kies related, also in the windows traymanager. Rightclick on the bottom windows bar and select taskmanager, there are Kies aplications also and end them. Tick autoreboot and f.reset.time then retry flashing the rom with Odin. You don`t need an extra pit file because it is inside the rom already. Report back after you`re done please.

I believe it is the International Version, the ROM is brazilian if I am not mistaken (I9300XXALF2_I9300OXAALF2_I9300XXLF2). BTW this is a Demo Unit, so I don't have the calling services. But I do remember that when I was inquiring about aftermarket ROMs I found out this one was Brazilian.
So yes, this is the International version.

So you borked your partition table by flashing a .pit? It would probably be a good idea to go one step back and fix your partition table before trying to flash a Rom.
I'm sorry but I have no idea where to find a .pit to return your partitions to the factory state.

Me neither....But....I'll search around and see if there is a factory .pit somewhere....also...If I can get another device exactly like mine, can I dump the WHOLE system and flash EVERYTHING (pit, system, etc) onto mine?

Do I run Odin......choose the PIT? click "Re-partition?, select the "PDA" and i9300 image? then Start?
I have no idea what to do....

Take your phone to a service center and tell them something went wrong during a software update.

PASS!!!
SUCCESS!!!
Moderators PLEASE STICKY!!!
Thanks to torsrex...I did a re-partition to the latest .pit found in that list. Then I selected my factory ROM which I had...
4 mins later... flash.....PASS!!!
In case this happens to a member...here is the simple solution....just hard to find .pit file.
Cheers,
Paul
PS- My system is COMPLETE: no files were lost....wow!

How did you flash the pit??
that is which option did you choose in Odin
Repartition and loaded the file to PDA or Loaded the file in PIT.
Also
Does anyone know how to extract Modem from Stock firmware??

I flashed rom through Odin and its return is like this.
The Sbl.bin is likely to be related to the bootloader.
I cannot access to the recovery or normally reboot.
What can I do?? I tried flashing for several times.

Why did you start a new thread? You already had a perfectly good thread going for the same problem here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24175814.
And you've apparently decided to ignore all the advice in that thread that said to flash back to a stock GINGERBREAD firmware, since you again are trying to flash LPQ, which is one of the earlier ICS releases.

Not of course. Because the problem you describe is what happens when you try to flash I9100 firmware on a model like I9100G or others that are called SGS2 but are different hardware. Only true way to tell is read the sticker under the battery.
Anyway forget this thread and take the advice in the other thread and report back there.
Good luck.

I tried to flash KI3, the gingerbread, it still fails. I think it is a new problem, and it is related to the NAND rw corruption mentioned by others. Therefore, I started a new post but not ignoring others' advice.
If you can help me with my problem, zillions of thanks then.
Flash a stock GB rom and see what happens .

Given you say you've tried everything suggested, and given you think it's a bootloader issue, there are literally dozens and dozens of posts on here about same.
Do a Google search (rather than using XDA search), and append 'XDA' to whatever your search terms are.
This problem you're having is not common, and you're not going to find a fix easily for this (as you're discovering) short of having it JTAG'd or sending it to a Samsung service center.
Is samsung customer service accepted to handle this, even i have some custom binary no?
Or if i pay some money, they wll fix that for me??
Sent from my GT-P7500 using XDA
Yep. They'll fix it, but you'll more than likely end up paying for it. A JTAG repair might be a cheaper option. Here's one in the US, I'm sure there are many others around the world (maybe near you, search Google).
Can you still enter download-mode (Vol. down + Home Button + Power Button)? If so, you can try these steps in this Guide here
Be careful with Re-Partition..i ruined my device some days ago with it after try to fix nand rw corruption.
I have tried all of those before. But i even can't flash things through. Even vthe kernel, recovery and bootloaders.
Sent from my GT-P7500 using XDA
So when you try to flash a 3-Part Firmware (without Re-Partition) it stucked again?
PS: Be very careful .. I has a very similar problem and with Re-Partition I shoot it up -.- (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24115788#post24115788)
What have you done to shoot it up??
I stucked even i flashed a three part firware without repartition and pit file
Sent from my GT-P7500 using XDA
Hey,
I'm sorry but i didn't solve the problem for me. With "shoot it up" I mean "i killed my phone". Sorry for that mistake!
I followed the guide too but at first step I flashed with Re-Partition and PIT file. Odin stucked at "Partitioning" so after 10min I closed Odin and restart S2...after that my device was completly dead. Screen stays black. Sorry don't know how to fix it. My S2 is on the way to rapaircenter now.

Go into recoverymode and install a rom in ur memory internal or extaernal
Just do that turn off phone...and them volume up+power+home button u will enter in recovery mode not in download mode...now just search the rom ...notice u do this if its rooted... Look if u just put insecure kernel by odin i sugere u take sd card out download a rom by computer to sd card. input again in phone and turn on in recovery mode... i think will works im not responsabile for nothing can happened but im pass the same like i write...tell something

Thanks, i've read that guide earlier and tried a few steps with no luck.
Is this what i should do?
"WARNING : FLASHING A BOOTLOADER IS DANGEROUS. FLASH WITH EXTREME CAUTION.
8) Download the Bootloader. Flash it as PDA or Bootloader in ODIN. Without ticking Re-Partitioning
9) Flash the Kernel, as in step 5
10) Flash the recovery package, like in steps 1-4 And that will fix any of your issues "

no dont mess with that 'Bootloader' one ma8, there is one on how to use pit file look into that
look for this in that thread
Recovering a soft bricked phone
1) Grab the Recovery Package, and you'll see a bunch of .tar files. Take a look at the names. You'll see CODE, MODEM, CSC and .PIT. Put each one in its place.
2) Turn off your phone. Enter Download mode by presing Volume Down + Home + Power button.
3) Plug in your phone. It will show you, in a yellow box in ODIN, ID:COMx (x being the number displayed, sometimes displays 7, sometimes displays 9)
Now here, take a breath
First try flashing WITHOUT the .PIT and re-partition. And only if it DOESN'T WORK OR FIX then you flash with the .PIT and Re-Partition ticked.
4) Once ready and done all your prayers, press Start. Wait patiently. It usually takes 5 minutes to flash.
Have you done everything correctly until now? Then...
Congratulations on recovering your phone!

Here is the link to Odin and a couple of pit files https://www.dropbox.com/sh/5k2b4jq4fvkcs9u/3a-R-77qnj. i `am not sure wich pit to use to be honest but i saw a tutorial using this pit file GT-I9300_mx_20120329.PIT.
So flash the firmware you need from www.samfirmware.com/firmware and use the pit file, check repartition, cross your fingers and hope for the best.

[Q] [HELP] Soft-Bricked Galaxy S3-I9300

Hey guys,
First up, this is what I was running.
-Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300
-FCC ID: A3LGTI9300A
-SSN: -I9300GSMH
-RootBox v3.8
So I installed RootBox v3.8 a few weeks ago and the update for v3.9 appeared on my phone along with the GAPPS update. I made the mistake of ONLY flashing the first update. So when my phone rebooted it kept on giving me the error 'Android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly'. I was forced to then revert back to v3.8 and everything seemed peachy. Up until the other night where I turned on my phone and it showed, 'Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies and try again'. I accessed 'Download Mode' and tried to flash my stock rom back on but it failed in ODIN and gave me this error.

Heya!
Your SIII looks bad with this stripes!
Have you flashed your StockROM via Odin while you were in DownloadMode? If it don't be in DownloadMode, it also can't be flashed.
Try to download a firmware from samfirmware.com and to flash it via Odin in the PDA field while your device is in DownloadMode!
And when you have finished, go to Recovery and Wipe your Data&Cache!

If you read my first post, yes, I did flash it in Download Mode via ODIN.
Well, it obviously had a problem writing the rom into the phone (nand write failed). You may have a hardware fault. Do you have the nand chip that suffers from sds?

I've had similar issues before, not that exact screen, but issues with Odin. It worked eventually.
Try Odin3 v.1.85 from here (CF-Auto-Root thread).
Next, be sure you got a valid file, those from sammobile (Choose your country for).
Next, use only PDA button, nothing else, make sure it's the same settings as in root thread above.
Also make sure all Kies processes are closed.
Now, try until it works. It might take a few tries. This is what worked for me, hope it does for you too.

That's what it sounds like keep trying to flash, try a different usb cable and computer if you can. Also remove any sim or sd card.
Also maybe the partition table is messed up but emmc is Ok?

I hope I've not ended up with this phone mentioned in this thread....purchased a phone from ebay and the seller said its stuck on Android SIII logo...I can get into download mode but before I attempt anything can someone tell me if this is a UK phone so I can apply the correct ROM (if it works!).
Also, currently the phone does not charge, battery is fine as i've tried the battery from own s3 and vice versa...both batteries are fine but the phone does not appear to charge...I'm hoping this is ROM related....
Any help will be much appreciated otherwise its an expensive gamble!
BTW...In the download mode the product bit is blank and does not say Samsung galaxy s3 like my own working phone does...

[Q] Rooting the Galaxy S4 + Side Questions [WIP - Soft-Bricked]

I'm interested in rooting my new Galaxy S4 but I also would like the original stock rom in case if I ever need to go back to it. Would anyone by any chance have the original stock ROM?
Model: SCH-I545
Android Version: 4.2.2
*If any other details are needed, let me know.
This is a Verizon phone fyi.
Also, could someone please link me to a tutorial/guide for rooting the S4 and some other links that have ROMs that are a "must-get".
Thanks,
Hydra
Read the development forums. The stock image is ready enough to find, as are step by step root instructions. As to your last question, that is the type of thing that gets a thread locked. Read the dev forums, pick a few roms that pique your interest, and give them a test drive.

I'm new here so tried my best to find the correct section, and did search for guides.
I'm currently using this guide, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2290798 , but upon flashing the prerelease kernal, it failed.
http://i.imgur.com/MjbRPrK.png
Also, in case of anything, how can I leave ODIN mode on the phone? Do I just power it off and reboot?
CM10.1 has been treating me pretty well. Haven't had any crashes or anything and runs fast and stable.
The only issue I noticed is you can't get a GPS lock while Network & Wireless location is on. Once you disable it GPS locks right in.

The tar file is 1.8 Gbs, is this the only method? I have horrible download speed and going to take 3 hours to download it.
Btw, can someone educate me on what just happened? Did I brick my phone? Will I lose any data?
Thanks,

Nope, I'm working on trying Samsung Kies, maybe that will do it but I tried to get into recovery mode thru the phone but takes me to that same window.
I'm also downloading the stock firmware.
Did you try just flashing the stock kernel back using Odin? Everything you've done is listed in this thread, right? Technically if you tried to flash the pre release kernel and it failed nothing should have happened.

I don't know if it will work but it's worth trying. The stock Odin should definitely fix your problem though. Yes it's in the thread.

Is what I get upon flashing kernel to the stock kernel. I am downloading the stock ROM as I type this. 1 Hour left to download it. Btw, does it matter what type of ROM I download?
Is there a difference from, http://www.rwilco12.com/downloads.p...Galaxy S4 (Verizon) (SCH-I545)/Stock ROMs/TAR and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2301259 ?
I'm guessing it's the No Wipe feature?
And what's the worst case scenario with rooting the phone? Anything permanent? If this stock ROM fixes the current problem, then I'll attempt to root once more.
Thanks,

Are you using the factory charging cable to connect to the computer? I don't know why everything keeps failing.... Odin has never failed for me. Do you have another computer you can try this on? Stock charging cable, different usb port or another computer are the things I would try next. I don't know anything about pit files.

Tried two types of cables, a generic one and factory/original one. I tried two different computers with 2 different OS. Tried 3 different ports per computer.
Don't know what else I can do.
Since you're able to boot into Odin mode I think this can be fixed but it may require a pit file. Since I know nothing about pit files or why Odin kept failing for you I'm going to let someone else try and help you. I do not think your phone is beyond hope at this point. Good luck.... I hope someone chimes in with the help you need.

Does anyone know if Verizon will replace it if it isn't my fault? There is no proof of rooting just a messed up system.
