S3 won't boot - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I tried to install SiyahKernel on my Samsung Galaxy S3 and followed the instructions below. But when I reboot my phone, I'm stuck at the welcoming screen! What should I do? How do I fix this?
3. FLASHING A ROM, RADIO OR KERNEL VIA CWM TOUCH RECOVERY
a. Download your chosen Rom, Radio or Kernel from the Development Forum, then make sure your phone is booted up as normal and connect your usb cable so it goes into MTP Mode. Copy the .zip file (DO NOT UNZIP IT FIRST) to the 'Internal Storage' part on your phone. Do not copy it to a Sub Directory as it will be harder to find when flashing it.
b. Enter CWM Touch Recovery (shut down the phone then hold down the 'HOME' + 'VOLUME UP' buttons and press the 'POWER' button for about 5 seconds).
c. Select 'Install zip from sdcard' and select 'choose zip from sdcard' if the file is on Internal Memory.
d. Scroll to your zip file and select. Then select 'Yes' in the list to start flashing.
e. When flashing is finished press the BACK Button to go back until you get to the Main Menu and then select 'reboot system now' to reboot your phone into Android.

Try flashing Siyahkernel through Odin instead of CWM.
Please make sure the following two points are given:
- are you really on the international S3 with the model number i9300, not the US-version or korean version?
- Are you on Stock ROM or any given Ice-Cream-Sandwich ROM. Jellybean does not work.
If it still does not work, flash the original ROM again. You can get it at samfirmware.com
That will replace everything including the kernel, but not cause data loss. Make sure you flash the same or a higher build, not an older version.

Flash the kernel using Odin.
Otherwise, flash a whole rom.

start trying to flash kernel made for S3 and not for S2!
Actually, there is NO siyah flashable zip for S3...

Gokan has removed ALL cwm flashable zip for S3 because someone brick his phone trying to flash it on the wrong phone

same happened with me when I did the same with my S2. here's the solution for S2 and is kind of similar to S3 too.. actually quite same. You just need to download the S3 ROM from sammobile.com. Full process here: http://bit.ly/KKhJni

I've downloaded the S3 ROM from Sammobile, but when I try to install it with Odin, I get stuck at "Get PIT for mapping". What to do?

I'm running siyah kernel on my s3 and it sounds like either an issue with the driver or the com port it's on I had the same problem I changed the com port of android modem I think the device is called to a higher number phone flashes anything and everything from odin now

First: the pit file from the link you quote is not made for S3 so do not use it!!!
Second: you should not need to use pit file
Then:
-restart your phone in Download mode
-open Odin and select your rom as PDA
-be sure that "repartition" is not checked
-connect your phone to your computer
-once Odin has recognized your S3, just hit the start button in Odin

I love you! It worked! So now I have a new installation of ICS 4.0.4 on my phone.
I have the TAR file for the Siyahkernel for Odin, how should I proceed to install this? Just start phone in download mode and install with Odin?

Be sure it is the one for S3 (it should be 1.3.8a) then use it as PDA with odin
Do not use pit file and do not check "repartition"

Omg, not strange my phone got bricked, I used the one for S2 last time, and in addition I installed it using ClockWork Mod, lol.
I will update on how this goes, found the 1.3.8.a Odin version for S3 now.

Congrats. You finally got .PIT ... Thanks Mopral

"NAND WRITE START!" BRICKED or NOT?

"NAND WRITE START!" from Odin when trying to flash a Brand new S3 i9300.Problem from the box.

Noted, After opening the box ,the client wanted latest whatsapp plus a new dialup pad app.After that handset hung and rebooted in samsung i9300 only.Download mode ok but same error.
I find it really helpful of you all to just yell at someone who is trying to find an answer. I have the same problem, and I am not inexperienced with flashing phones. The question still remains: Can there be something done via Odin or adb or whatever or is it a case for repair.
I would really, really appreciate to get some useful answers. I can **** myself I don't need others to do this.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: I have found a solution thanks to a very helpful friend who found the relevant post here on xda (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27995287&postcount=16). You need to flash a 3-file stock rom via Odin v3.0.4 with mx.pit-file and repartition ticked. This worked for me and I very much hope that it also works for everyone else.
With all the pit files, i m getting there is no pit file.I m still looking for 3 files firmware.
Can someone post me a link for a 3 files pda phone and csc for S3.All the files i ve found are single file.
Thanks
The only 3 part files and pit for the Samsung range have in the past been posted on Sammobile.com .You will have to look and see if they post such for SGS3 . Never seen them on XDA and 3 part files posted on XDA have in the past been from sammobile .

Go to recovery and then mounts and storage.
Format system, data and cache. Also do a factory wipe on the first cwm page.
After that pull battery wait 5 seconds abs reinsert it.
Hold power home and vol down to go to download mode. Then press the up arrow.
Then plug it in to computer. In odin select pda csc and modem or if it's a one file firmware just select it in pda. Do not tick repart or select a pit file.
Then hit start.

OMG this actually worked...
So here is what i did...step by step...
1. Uninstalled Kies but did keep the USB drivers..
2. Made a Nandroid backup in CWM and followed Drew071's instruction and removed the ext_sd card...i actually did that before but without the pull battery step...
3. Used Odin 3.07 with only auto reboot and f. time reset ticked and loaded the stock rom that i took from sammobile in PDA...
5. Flashed as usual O_O....
I really don't know what it was but it scared the s..t out of me ^^
I'll try to root the stock FW now with the usual odin method and let you know if it works...thx all for your support
EDIT: Ok so i used CF-Auto-Root-m0-m0xx-gti9300 with Odin v3.07....all went well and i'm a happy root user again ^^

[Q] samsung galaxy s3 GT-I9300 NAND RW problem

Hi all, My S3 GT-I9300 international edition, bought on Amazon from some German place, orignal stock Samsung no mods went into a boot loop Xmas day (yeah, what a present!).
I could then go into recovery mode and cleared the cache. Still boot loop AND I could NO LONGER get to recovery mode, but can get into Download Mode just fine. So there is hope...
I read this tread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1457458
I am hoping this is the way to go for me. Experts may comment, please.
I am looking for kernel AND pit files. Where can i get them?
I tried using Siyah-s2-v5.0.1 but do not have a PIT file for it.
When I try to use it heimdall says I do not have the right PIT file:
"
Beginning session...
Session begun with device of type: 131072
Downloading device's PIT file...
PIT file download sucessful
ERROR: Partition corresponding to -kernel argument could not be located
"
I am on OS X with heimdall working fine.
Please help if you can and know more.
thank you so much
E
Using this rom:
I9300XXELL4_I9300O2UELL1_I9300BWELK1_HOME
and the Siyah-s2-v5.0.1 kernel, I can do:
heimdall flash --primary-boot boot.img --verbose
OK
heimdall flash --recovery recovery.img --verbose
OK
but nothing else. I cannot do:
heimdall flash --kernel zImage --verbose
it says:
ERROR: Partition corresponding to -kernel argument could not be located
Boot loop is flash stock rom via Odin.
Stay away from pit files .

Why are you using siyah s2 kernel if you have an s3 maybe thats the reason you got into bootloop

LOL
1. download an stock rom from www.samfirmware.com
2. dont make the same mistake as you did with before download a SIII rom instead of an SII rom...
3. Use ODIN to flash to a stockrom AND NEVER FLASH .PIT FILES with ODIN unless YOU reallyyy need it.
4. now keep it or move to a custom ROM for the SIII and not SII AKA S2
and for the rest i wish you an merry christmas and a early happy new year

this is the part i did
Recommended Steps For Flashing.
Put phone into download mode
In odin select Your valila copy of the kies update and put in PDA option box
then select the posted TWRP and put in phone.
click start to flash and watch the progress,
AS SOON AS IT finishes the flash with writing the second recovery image hold down VOL UP AND VOL DOWN for the reboot, the device is now in recovery with twrp
you can either do adb sideload (choose advansed on main menu) to apply the patch or adb push and place on the sd-card (Note in recovery the phones internal memory is /emmc and the sd-card is /sd-card , so it you dont have a sd-card inserted you must use adb push filename.zip /emmc/)
once the file is sideloaded ( or installed via twrp install menu option for adb push users)
then do a factory reset once more.

My Dear Friend Just Install a Recovery Like CWM OR TWRP
Your Problem Will Be Solved
[solved]How To Root Samsung Galaxy Note SHV-E160L (New Method)
Basic Requirements:
Samsung Galaxy Note (SHV-E160L)
Computer
USB data Cable
Phone Charger (You won’t expect your phone to die of the battery during rooting)
Now we move on to our step by step procedure. (Do follow each and every step and read them carefully to avoid any problem for which we will not be responsible.)
Root Samsung SHV-E160L
Procedure To Root Samsung Galaxy Note
1. First you have to download all the drivers for Samsung SH-E160L on your Computer.
2. The second and most important thing to do is, enabling USB debugging. For this, you will find Developer options in your Settings option and then Enable USB Debugging.
Developer Options
In Android 4.2.2 the Developer mode is hidden and to unhide it, go to Settings and then in about option go to System Information. Inside this, you will find Software information, and then there you will see “More” option, inside which you will get Build Number. Tap on this option for 5-8 times and then a message will appear, “You are now a Developer” which means that the developer option is now shown under your settings option that was earlier not present.
3. Now the next step is to download vRoot(search in google and download) and install it on your Computer.
4. Now open vRoot and then mount your Samsung Galaxy Note to your computer through a USB cable.
5. The vRoot will automatically search for your smartphone once its connected to your computer and it will automatically detect when your phone is attached.
6. Now, click on your phone name in vRoot and in the next window that appears, you will see a root button. Just, click on it.
7. The vRoot software will automatically start rooting the phone and will automatically install SuperSU app in it.
8. Now you have Successfully Rooted your Samsung Galaxy Note SHV-E160L. To verify that you have successfully rooted your phone, go to your menu and then search for SuperUser app. If you found that app then it means the device is successfully rooted and if not, then please repeat the process carefully.
Note: Your Manufacturer Warranty gets Void when you root your phone. It means that they will charge you for any damage that you cause to your device. So proceed after making your mind and making clear of what are you doing. WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE THAT YOU CAUSE TO YOUR DEVICE DURING ROOTING.
If for any reason you want to Rollback all you have done, then go to Play Store and just Download SuperSU (ChainFire) and install it. After installation, open the app, move to Settings and then select Full Unroot. Your device will be brought back to the earlier stage.

Galaxy Ace GT-S5839i Bootloop - Help

My Mum's Ace GT-S5839i seems to be stuck in a bootloop after it froze when she was playing a game.
I've been trying to recover it using Odin, but I'm not having any luck. These are the steps I tried:
-Downloaded Odin v3.09
-Downloaded the stock firmware (from Sammobile.com)
-Opened Odin
-Put phone into Download Mode
-Connected phone
-Press AP, and selected the firmware file
-Press start
It then fails. This is the message list:

Take your battery out of
your phone, and again insert it and enter into
the download mode by pressing Volume
down + Home + Power button. If your phone
doesn't enters the download mode don't
worry. Connect your phone with PC by USB
cable and open the Odin V1.85 in your PC.
After opening the Odin, Now press V olume
Up + Volume Down + Power Button . Your
phone will now boot in recovery mode by
Odin. After entering into the download mode,
it asks to press Volume Up button, Press it.
Now you're in the download mode by Odin.
While, the Odin running in your PC must
have recognized in your PC. Now select the
Pit Option, and select the .pit file that you
have downloaded with the Odin .zip file .
Now extract the stock ROM file in your
desktop. Then open the Odin. Now you've
selected the .pit file, now leave the boot
loader blank. And select the "PDA " option
and select the file that is named similar to
PDA that you've extracted in the desktop.
And now select the "Phone" and select the
file that is named similar to "MODEM" . Now
select the CSC and select the file name
similar to "CSC" and select it.
Now the Part is over. Just click the Start
Button , and it will be flashing the Stock ROM
on your Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830i. Wait
for 5 Minutes, once it is complete. Unplug
the USB cabel, and boot your phone
normally. It'll take 5-10 Minutes for booting
because it is now booting in a new ROM.
And that's it, your phone is now back! Your
phone has got back the Stock ROM !
go to this link for odin 1.87.

Thanks for the reply. I've got a couple of questions, though.
Firstly, it's a GT-S5839i, not a 5830i, so I assume I can't use the 5380i ROM in the link you posted?
Secondly, does it specifically have to be Odin V1.85? I was using the latest version (V3.09)
Thanks.

Do a "Wipe data/ factory reset" from the stock recovery mod and reboot. That should solve it. Hope I Helped

For some reason, after running Odin, the phone would say "E:failed to mount /data (invalid argument). After a bit of researching I found some different files that seemed to work. Not sure what the difference was, but they did the trick.
Thanks for pointing me in the right way, though. I've never had to recover a phone before, so I really appreciate the help.

Can you tell me what you ended up doing, and what files you used?

[Q] Boot loop, only download mode works (no recovery mode)

Hello,
i tryied to flash CM11 to my i9300 using one of the manual here but i ended up with phone going on boot loop when started(Shows only Samsung i9300 black/white logo in 3seconds loop). I only have an access to download mode
It says:
Product name: GT-i9300
Custom Binary download: Yes
Current Binary: Samsung Official
System Status: Custom
When i try to get the recovery mode installed again the Odin say
<ID:0/028> File analysis..
<ID:0/028> SetupConnection..
<ID:0/028> Initialzation..
<ID:0/028> Get PIT for mapping..
<ID:0/028> Firmware update start..
<ID:0/028> SingleDownload.
<ID:0/028> boot.img
<ID:0/028> NAND Write Start!!
And thats all. I supose i can connect through the USB while the odin shows the USB COM port and blue color.
Is my phone bricked or is there any way how to save it? Thank you for your advice

If I'm not mistaken boot.img is the bootloader, not the recovery. Are you sure you can't get into recovery using the 3-button-combo? If not I would try flashing this recovery via ODIN. And then try to reboot into it using the combo. Then flash CM zip from there again.
Hi, im sure i cant get to recovery using 3 button combo. That gives me only the loop of "Samsung SIII" logo. The 3buttons combo work only for download mode.
Thats what i wrote, when im trying to flash the recovery via ODIN it gets stucked on the on the message <ID:0/028> NAND Write Start!! and nothing else happens. I tryed the 3.07 and 3.09 version of ODIN.

Ah, I'm sorry I misunderstood. I thought that was just a snippet of the log... Try flashing the recovery I provided and see if it flashes. If not, maybe you can flash stock firmware with pit file (new partition table). If nothing flashes, I have no further ideas.
Thanks, but ive already tryed to flash several recovery with the same results (got stucked on NAND write in ODIN), I downloaded stock rom but the package was without pit and other kinds of files (got stucked too on NAND write in ODIN). Its a ROM for TMZ (T-mobile Czech). Do you know where i can get the "full" package. Do i need to flash the pit and other files together with ROM?
You're seriously pottering a brick. The 'full package' contents 3 files, which you've to place in the right Odin-windows +repartition-check. These files are unofficial. Google for files and instruction.

I could be mistaken but I believe the 3-part-roms (csc / pda / phone) is the "old style" how roms where put out by sammy. You would have to search but I would think you can also use the version you get from sammobile nowadays (one zip) and additionally just use the gt-i9300 pit file found somewhere here in the forums.
@Hawaiihemd: be shure, you're wrong.

Try this >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30087735&postcount=6 << the pit file is in the 4.1.2 download and can be used on both versions.(Also try the 1.85 version of Odin) >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...08-2013-odin-3-09-odin-1-85-versions-t2189539 <<

@rp158 Well, I think I only made a small error in my assumption.
Here are the details on the sammobile download. It seems to hold everything a "3-part-version" holds. I downloaded the file and a look at the .tar file inside the single .zip seems to confirm that.
This post suggests that flashing the .tar with the pit file should work.
I don't know because I haven't tried myself, maybe you have. Or I'm missing a piece of the puzzle. If so, maybe you could point me to it!?
@Hawaiihemd: If I look into the unzipped tar.md5-firmware, there are image-files. One for each partition. If I look into a 3part-zip-file, there are 3 tar.md5-files for each Odin-input-window. I tried only this soft method. The way, described in your cited post, I would only try as a last exit. The whole Odin-firmware-flashing is a black-box: noone knows, why&when during a normal flash a factory-reset is triggered or during repartition efs-data are restored. So, where the software finds the necessary repartition-data in the usual 1part-zip, is also unknown. Sorry, if I hurt you.

You didn't, don't worry. I was a little stumped maybe, but only because your answer was so terminal. Actually I only wanted to start a discussion about this, because you seemed to know more about said process than me and I always try to gain knowledge here to better help solving problems. I haven't been in this forum for long or into android for that matter...
That said, I have done the "3-files" version of this process with a .pit file thrice already on different gt-i9000s. Always worked flawlessly.
Looking at the ones in the post @tallman43 suggested, I found the contents of those 3 .tar.md5 files in summary(!) similar to the ones in the 1 .zip from sammobile. That's why I thought it could work in the first place.
One thing I'm sure of is that in both cases the repartition info is in the .pit file. If you choose none, the MMC should not be repartioned. If partitions are reformatted... that's another deal.
Concerning the efs partition, to/from where that info is stored/restored during repartitioning of the MMC... that's a very interesting question!

Thank you very much for this hint. It worked well. I used the all files from KOR zip and 1.85 ODIN. Now i have the Korean version but at least i have something to start with and phone which works now.
