Hi, I am using a galaxy s3 recently purchased from Singapore but had a UK firmware version in it, since i bought it cheap from a local dealer who sells a of these European phones here.
I am not a noob, but not a great developer though, u can put me somewre in the middle. What happened is, i downloaded a S3 firmware and flashed it via ODIN. The silly damn mistake i did was, (seriously, i was outa my mind) i put the file in phone instead of PDA in ODIN.
But wen i flashed it once, i realised i did a mistake and changed the file from phone to PDA and everything went off perfectly. Except now, there was no service in the phone. The SIM was inside and worked perfect with other phones, but no other sim worked in my phone.
I took it to a local repair shop, coz der is no warranty for the phone. Since he is a friend of mine, he has ordered the SIM card Unit and is trying to replace it. Now, during the first day i got the phone i rammed it with a sharp pin when tryin to insert the sim, jus when i was opening it in the shop. It got remedied instantly and after tat the SIM worked fine.
Now after the did the wrong flash, everythin in the phone works except der is no mobile network. Is it because i flashed the file wrongly ? Or is it could be the hardware issue that happened earlier repeating again ?
Thanks for taking ur time to read this and supportin me !
Maybe you can try to reflash stock kernel via odin.

Hi, this whole thing started when i tried to flash stock via ODIN. the phone was rooted and i wanted it to unroot it, tatz wen i did all dis.
is der something like a full flash ? I mean a total flash, I remember doin it once in my galaxy s2. Filling up files in all four i.e,. phone, PDA, CSC and modem ? Will that help ?
THanks for ur time !
just a little thing: flashing a stock rom on the SGS3 will not perform a factory reset
Just to be sure that all is good: flash stock rom with odin and then make a factory reset in stock recovery
Do not forget to backup your apps and data before doing it
Can u guide me to ?

Easy:
-start in recovery (volume up+home+power)
-select "wipe data/factory reset"
-wait for it to be done
-resart your phone
Just do not forget:
-it will erase your installed apps
-it will erase your contact
-it will wipe your internal storage
-you will have to do the "first start settings " thing (wifi, google account,...) as if your phone was brand new out of the box
So do not forget to backup all things you want to keep

I had the same firmware version as urs... I can see it from above ! I downloaded the same version from android firmwares.net and flashed it wrongly and tatz wat messed it up all.
I actually did the same steps as u mentioned above ! Is tat wat u call a full flash ?
-flash your rom with odin (single tar file as PDA and DO NOT check repartition)
-let your phone restart
-shutdown your phone
-follow the step from my previous post
-restart your phone
-do all the "first start settings" stuff
If you still have your issue, post here but at least we will start with a clean base

You need a three part rom to do that but it is not very easy to found them for SGS3
The step I gave you should do the same thing with a single part rom as PDA

I would like help from forum members.
After doing a root using the original firmware version, available here in the forum, my GS2 stopped working.
The device connects, the splash comes from Samsung (the one where the yellow triangle appears), but after that the screen goes black and nothing appears. Imagine turning on your PC but not booting in windows!
I can access the download mode and recovery mode. But nothing I do solves. I've tried putting other firmware versions but not resolved.
The Odin recognizes the device, the Kies not.
Another problem is that I do not know what was the original version of the firmware, but I know that the device was a French version, if that helps.

Well if you can't get it to work in any known way and you dont want to spend money to get it fixed , I'd say soft-brick it by enabling repartition in Odin and get a jig , then try again. You only lose 3-5$ that way. Don't get me wrong , it's the last thing you should try. What you probably should do is to take it to service.
I bought the usb jig must be delivered within 7 days.
But the jig is used to enter the download mode and reset the counter, right?
I can enter the download mode and recovery mode, I can even install any firmware version (official/CF). But none of that worked.
I believe it is with some corrupted file that is not connected to the firmware.
Or not!

Never tick repartition. You won't be able to bring it back that way. You can try soft bricking by unplugging the phone while flashing wih Odin but i still don't recommend it if you aren't able to boot even after flashing multiple roms. Service center would be your best bet

Just giving some feedback if another user go through the same problem, did the flash with the firm XWKK5 and my gs2 returned to work.
Thank you all for your help.
Got the Galaxy S3 on the 3 network in the UK, all was fine & dandy then found out about how the phone was updated & basically 3 sit twiddling their thumbs on it. Went looking for a solution, found a nice simple flash the phone with Odin, use proper Samsung firmware, thought that will do the trick for me.
Unfortunately I did exactly as I was told (didn't go down the root, well, route as there were too many options and I was lost as to wether I was using the right stuff) People swore by the flash to samsung firmware, did that last night, was perfect. Only thing left was the change csc thing, to select BTU but the option wasnt there...was told to download another firmware.......the phone returned with a "unfortunately, the process android.acore has stopped" message, was told to to a reset.......then got "unfortunately, messaging has stopped". Have flashed a few times now to no avail, I can no longer text, is my phone basically broken beyond repair?
Not ruined, but it sounds like you have clobbered some system files. Read up on rooting. Hopefully you can Root and then install a custom recovery like CWM then install a custom ROM.
It would have been better to have made a backup via recovery before you started flashing stuff.
Flash stock ROM and start again

But its a bad flash probably could be a corrupt download or wrong firmware .

seems like u didnt follow the instructions and u could have even bricked your device all that i can say is factory reset or flash a new rom

(s)he is having issues just fixing a stock rom misflash and you recommend a custom ROM? Even root was too complicated
I've flashed past phones to death and even still following instructions exactly, they don't always work as they should. Yeah they have cool features and yeah me or you can probably manage to fix any issues they throw up, but they are definitely not for everyone.

Bull****...his problems have nothing to do with a brick. Don't scare him.
i'd defo try a factory, cache and dalvik reset first before flashing again, you'l loose all your data but it may fix the problems you are experiencing.. Boot into recovery mode to do that.
Thanks for all the replies. I have flashed with Odin 3.04 & have found out 3.07 is out...could this be where it all went wrong? I tried following the rooting stuff but found so many variations & in my head (technology challenged when it comes to this) it was all going over my head. I did do the factory reset & reflash with a stock software (the latest I believe) but I don't know if it is a network thing which knackerec me, in CSC I have sales code saying H3G with no options to select BTU. If I post a screenshot of my settings (about device) would that help someone steer me in the right direction as a possible starting point.
My phone appears to be no longer 3 branded, but it should be locked to the 3 network in the uk.
I had the same issue with my Three branded phone. What i did was flash the rom with the PDA button ticked in Odin and then flashed it again with the same file but ticked the CSC icon instead of the PDA and it worked and then let me select BTU from the menu. Give it a try and report back, i'm 99% sure it'll work.
BTW you'll lose the HD voice by flashing it. I still havent found and easy way to get it back working.

The link for the stock you posted is what I used....didn't root as I said, but appeared to work perfectly. Then I lost access to kies & was told I needed to use csc to tick the BTU option & that would work, except I didnt & still don't have that option. Was given another link to apparently the same stock that had "multi csc options" & that when I got the Samsung acore error & I did a factory reset after about 30 minutes of trying to get into the options, then the messaging stopped working & I found out how to do te factory reset using te vol button home power thing. Is there a specific 3 firmware where I can get my phone branded again & take it from there?

I am happy flashing on release, please understand this is all new. If losing kies is not an issue coz I can just flash then cool. I thought kies was an essential part of the updating. I can use my phone fine just now (using go SMS Pro) but would like it back to fully working phone which would be sweet.
Nothing good is wrong with your phone. It's not even a brick yet. Flash a cwm recovery and then re trying using check rom.

None of these guys no what there talking about. You've bricked your phone and you won't be able to fix it. Best thing to do is cut your loss and sell it. I'll be generous and give you £50 pounds for it. That's right a fresh £50 note right now, hard cash delivered right to your door step, no questions asked!
Honestly though try flashing the original 3 firmware, it should be in the firmware thread I believe.
P.S You've not bricked your phone, no where near it so don't worry about it.

I'm on 3 UK same happened to me when I unbranded. Don't panic your phone is fine. Turn off phone then hold power + home + volume up. Let go when you see the Android man. Wipe factory reset and dalvik cache you will lose everything. Then reboot. Don't bother letting it boot back up, just hold power + home + volume down. Then flash unbranded rom via odin. Once done and booted type *#272*yourimei# and you should now have option of btu.

okay? the first thing to do here is just flash a stock ROM, no need for pit files
Mine was stuck before than samsung logo, on the model number screen. Almost 1 second or less after opening the device.
Then i flashed 4.0.4 and magically it opened without any loop or something. Its useless to flash 4.1.2 or any other jb stock rom, for some reason it seems not fixing the loop issue.
Again, there is no problem related with pit files.

Follow the steps to root and flash your custom ROM again as if you just got your phone. The same thing happened to my T999, and it took me 3 tries doing this to finally get back into Recovery.
try to flash in odin stock rom then root use cwm then try to go to recovery..
My cousin's having the same exact issue and we've been unable to find the proper rom. Can anyone please tell me where to get one? I've downloaded some "international" ones but when i try to upload it it keeps telling me failed, i've tried at least 4 or 5 different roms.
ANY help would be greatly appreciated!!

Try several times before giving up. Sometimes it works after when the device feels that you've had enough stress and fear.
I mean the problem is common but it's solved in different ways or different repeats.
But it seems that your problem is a software problem that can be solved.

Looks like you flashed a file for a galaxy note 2 and not an s3.
You need to be careful and flash the right files to your phone or you could end up with a hard brick.
Have a look at the stickies on how to root.
Oh and make sure you have an international galaxy s3 9300 as that is this forum your in.

you flashed the wrong file (Note II), the process is correct but you need to flash the cf root/auto-root file for the S3 as mentioned! Try it again with it and see if it fixes your issue.
You Might wanna flash a stock firmware in odin first before you try rooting.

Flash stock rom then factory reset .
Then read the basic faqs and guides before flashing anything or ignore and head straight down the highway to Bricksville .

Looks like you flashed a file for a galaxy note 2 and not an s3.
You need to be careful and flash the right files to your phone or you could end up with a hard brick.
Have a look at the stickies on how to root.
Oh and make sure you have an international galaxy s3 9300 as that is this forum your in.

So there is nothing I can do to make my phone's touch panel work??
One more thing is..when I open the phone in recovery mode(vol up+menu+power buttons) the android logo in the background is showing some X mark smething..So i guess its soft bricked rather than hard-bricked..so is there no way it can work?

One take to a service centre is best as you have a big problem and zero knowledge .
OR
You could try flashing CF Root recovery from development then booting to recovery format cache system data sd card and preload .
Then download mode and flash stock rom via Odin .

If you phone connects to your PC then try completely resetting the phone using Kies
Start Kies, then go to Tools then Firmware Upgrade and Installation, this process will wipe the phone and reinstall the latest firmware, you will need some details from under the phone battery but just follow the on screen instructions.

You need to ask yourself a simple question .
Is motherboard damaged yes = replace no = flash stock rom via Odin fails = service centre new motherboard .

Flashing stock rom doesn't fail..it jst doesnt improve its condition..Touch doesnt work! Flashing(its showing 'Pass' in Odin) and getting detected by computer works well..
As of changing motherbaord..thats wat I am planning to do after i go to my hometown..till then I want to try and make it work..since the symptoms doesn't imply motherboard damage!

Oh..got it now..
Jst out of curiosity..how does rooting some software destroy hardware?
ANd Cnat I jst change that destroyed part instead of Whole Motherboard>?
No.
You can destroy cpu, gpu by overclocking badly, overvolting, eventually internal card can be corrupted but all those scenario aren't linked to a simple rooting procedure (which is only writing two files on the system partition...).
You need to have a good diagnosis, either the digitizer is dead, or the connection of it on the motherboard. Our the motherboard.
Replacement won't be cheap especially for motherboard.
Hey
I bought a used s3 so i dont have any idea whether the phone is carrier locked or not but it was rooted when i got it and was on 4.0.4 i wanted to update it and it took me quite sometime to figure it out
I tried odin and many other softwares in start but no success anyhow later on one night my phone was about to turn off and i had to keep it on so i removed the battery stats and the next morning whenever i made a call the call would last for about 6 mins and in the same time cell would show a message i.e. process.adroid.com.phone has stopped working when i pressed OK the signals would go away and after 2-3 secs they would come back on the same hand when somebody called me i wasnt able to pick their calls because the same message i.e. process.adroid.com.phone has stopped working would pop up.
Anyhow finally after 4-5 days i thought of flashing a custom rom becuz i though i had corrupted my modem so i downloaded this file
downloadandroidrom.com/file/GalaxyS3/roms/leaked4.2.2/Rooted-I9300XXUFME3-4.2.2.zip
and flashed it. It was in hebrew i guess and after flashing it i stopped getting sound on call both when i received one or made one. I got a YELLOW BOX as well on home screen and app screen. Rest was working fine sim card was detected, i could use whatsapp, listen to songs, wifi worked fine, in short everything except calling worked fine
Then a friend of mine told me that i had installed a wrong rom so he gave me a link and i flashed this rom this time
omega-roms.net/blog/?page_id=763
Version 43.5
I.e. Jb 4.1.2
After flashing this rom i am still getting the yellow box that i got when i flashed my phone to 4.2.2 and i m stuck with emergency calls only everything else works fine. I have checked emei it matches that on the back of phone
Information regarding my phone is
Model Number: GT-I9300
ANDROID VERSION: 4.1.2
BASEBAND VERSION: I9300XXEMA5
Older baseband was
I9300BULE6
It had vodafone app as well before i flashed that jewish ROm
KERNEL VERSION:
3.0.31-1160235

BUILD NUMBER
OMEGA V43.5-XXEMD3
Please help me out!
1st of all next time buy the phone from someone trusted i bought mine from a close friend and it was almost like new
as for your problem i think it's the sim card doesn't work since the phone might be locked so try galaxy sim unlock from google play if that's the problem you should get the network back
Come on it was working fine a few days back there must be a solution!

You may want to go back to the stock rom using Odin and see if this fixes the issue. That is the only thing I can suggest at this point since you said you've done everything else. When you bought this phone did you swap the sim card? You may also want to get that replaced and see if that works. Good luck.

Yes finally i have removed the microsim using pin i want to see if the same issue persists with any other sim. The sim module must be fine becaue when i removed the sim card it showed insert sim card
About hardware problem. How can you say that? I could make a call 6 mins long and couldnt receive it on my prev 4.0.4 version then later on on Jb 4.2.2 i was able to make calls but with no sound but now i get emergency calls only So this is not a hardware problem and the baseband has changed can it be the reason?
The app says the phone is unlocked so is it actually unlocked or is there any hard secondary lock which this app is not able to detect?

Please read the rules this is not a fix your phone service centre . If you want help don't be rude . Start at the beginning the original post is confusing and much of the process carried out are wrong . Start by factory reset phone and then flash the stock firmware via Odin from sammobile.com that is for your phone and network .But not any 4.2.2 version . Alternative if you are rooted and have CWM recovery is to format sd card system cache data and preload . Boot to download mode and flash stock rom via Odin . Then check your IMEI matches that under the battery . Test phone . jje

You would be far better to read the faqs and guides first as you do not have a clue as to what is what .

Could there be some hardware issue with my phone?
In any case, do factory reset, you may use the full wipe script and delet Google Accounts.
ofic.fw.přes flash odin 4.1.2 and all login again

Possible
But biggest problem is that OP has not a clue due to not bothering to read faqs and guides .
Has probably messed everything up as every step has been clueless and wrong .
AGAIN
