I have my S III for two and a half months. And today it started to boot loop. The phone was working and I leave it on the table. After few minutes I noticed that the phone is in boot loop.
This is my second android phone. Before the S III I had Desire. I have experience in rooting with the Desire (use it without root only 2 months and own it for 2 years). Also while flashing it many times I had boot loops on it -> re-flash always worked.
The S3's situation - it is in boot loop, when I try to start the stock recovery (volup+home+pwr and not releasing the) the phone starts to boot loop as long as I keep the buttons pushed. When I release them the phone stays in booting screen (Samsung logo) - same as I just try to start it. When I put it in download mode (voldown+home+pwr) it works and asks me if I want to continue.
Is there anybody with experience whit the same problem? And should I try to flash the stock rom from SGS3 ToolKit or to use the warranty and let the shop to fix it (probably will hold my phone for a month)?

One boot to recovery Vol Up + Home + Power release immediately on splash screen .
No recovery then choice is return to service .
Or flash a stock rom via Odin from the stock rom threads .
jje
release the power vol up and power buttons as soon as you see android while entering recovery. Once you do that try factory reset.
Note: You will lose all your data on internal SD (pics, images etc)
If you want to save data first flash CWM then enter recovery and factory reset. You will be able to save pics, images, music etc by doing so (apps will still be removed)

Step 3: Put your phone in Download mode
Step 4: Connect to PC
Step 5: Select the firmware (unzip it to get the .tar file if it is a .zip file) as pda..dont touch anything else
Step 6: Click Start and wait till the rom is flashed and your device reboots
Step 7: If the phone is stuck at boot screen after the flash, press vol up+menu+power untill you see a green droid..release immediately
Step 8: Clear Data+cache..you will loose everything on your internal sdcard
Step 9: Reboot
Now if you face any problem in any of the steps mentioned above..tell us which step and what is the error you get...
flashing stock will not void your warranty but the stock rom should be specific to your region..with correct CSC..

Guys thanks for your help. After few unsuccessful attempts to flash with odin, I returned the phone to customer service, and now I'll wait them to fix it. Now I'm with my old Desire until they fix my SGS 3.

Hi shiShark,
Any luck when you returned to customer service? I seem to have exactly the same problem.
Out of interest, did your phone show as system Custom in the recovery screen? - Similar to you, I have not rooted or flashed my phone but it says sytem:Custom on the recovery screen and customer service refuse to fix it under warranty.
Thanks.

Hello,
I had a working setup with CM9 nightly 20120618, Siyah kernel 3.3.2 and LPX modem.
Due to phone call cuts, which seemed to be a known problem with the LPX modem, I tried to install LPS modem with RomManager premium.
I didn't watch my phone during the whole process, so I don't know if LPS install went successful. I guess it doesn't : I usually had to manually disable signature verification in CWM to be able to flash zip files.
I found my phone with a lighty flashing screen, as if backlighting was switching on and off on a black screen. I pulled off the battery, removed SD and SIM, and tried normal boot, boot to recovery and boot to download using the buttons combo : nothing works, I get the "GALAXY SII GT-I9100" screen and then the flashing black screen. If i press the home button while the screen is flashing black, it starts flashing white, and that's all.
I don't know what I can do now. Any help would be greatly appreciated...
Thank you
OK. Firstly, CWM & Rom Manager on the same phone is asking for trouble. Rom Manager does not play nice with CWM; has been known to cause bootloops, break recovery & cause 'soft bricks'. So if you're going to use Siyah (or any other kernel with CWM) with CM9, either freeze or uninstall Rom Manager.
Your OP is a bit vague, are you saying you have bootloop ? If you are, I'd do a factory reset in the first instance. If that doesn't work, I'd flash CM9 Resurrection in Odin, then flash latest CM9 nightly (read/follow the instructions in the CM9 discussion thread). From there, you can then flash Siyah if you want. And if you do use CM9 & Siyah again, don't forget to freeze/uninstall Rom Manager.
If you don't want to use CM9 anymore & the reset doesn't work, flash a stock rom (GB or ICS; up to you) in Odin, and go from there. That will give you a clean slate.
Now, if you don't have a bootloop & something else is happening to your phone, clarify exactly what your phone is/isn't doing & can/can't do (does it boot, do you have recovery, do you have download mode), and we can look at it further.
Many thanks for the fast help.
Searching XDA for solutions I had understood that CWM and RomManager doesn't get on very well. I won't make the same mistake again, I promise !
But now my problem is to get back in control of my phone.
To clarify the situation, I don't know what to do because :
* If I try a regular power on, I can see the "GT-I9100", and then a flashing black screen. It seems to flash for ever, but when I press the home button several times it flashes white/black, seems for ever too.
* If I power on pressing volume up, same thing
* If I power on pressing volume down, same thing
So that's not really a bootloop I think since I only see the "GT I9100" screen once.
I discovered a new thing : if I plug the power cable, I have the battery icon on the screen for a few seconds as usual, and then again the flashing screen.
So I wold be VERY happy if I could flash any rom, stock, CM9 of whatever, but as I am unable to go to download mode nor to recovery I don't know how to flash :crying:
Problem solved.
I'll look very noobish on this : I had forgotten to press the home button, that's why I couldn't go to download mode. Flashed CM9 resurrection with odin, then LPS modem, 20120622 nightly, and siyah 3.3.2 with recovery.
Then I freezed RomManager with titanium backup to avoid making the same mistake again.
My phone is back !
Good job sorting it out yourself like that. Glad you got it sorted ;-)
Hi,
Unfortunately i am one of the few who made the same mistake of having both CWM and Rom Manager. Same issues were experienced.
Now, i tried following the steps provided.
1. Downloaded RR cm9

Well, just disregard. Took a risk by powering the device down and redoing the flash process. Changed the port and used a mobo port and it all worked.

Hi guys,
My friend gave me her S3 to fix because there was a problem with it. She said that she was on YouTube when it froze, she took the battery out and when it turned back on, a message came up saying "Encryption Failed. Unable to complete encryption due to interruption. Perform factory data reset (erasing all your data) before use....." There's a button that says "Reset Device" but when I press it, it doesn't do anything. She has NOT rooted her device or tampered with it at all, nor has she tried to encrypt her data, so this is quite unusual. I tried to put it into Recovery Mode so I could perform a factory reset by holding power, Vol Up and Home. As I hold these buttons, a message pops up at the bottom of the screen saying "Device storage is full. Delete some items", although my friend says that she had recently factory reset her phone and there isn't much stuff on her phone. The phone then restarts as it should. It shows the android with the spinning shape thing in his stomach. Then it stops and the phone restarts again back to the "Encryption Failed" screen. I have tried many times to get into Recovery Mode but it wont work. I researched online and found that others say that they also cannot access stock recovery but can access TWRP and CWM. I can get into Download Mode, so it thought that maybe I could try to install one of the two recovery modes. I first tried to root the device using Odin3, however, it keeps failing.
This is what it says:

At this point phone reboots and when I go to recovery - there is no CWM
I will be grateful for any suggestions.

I would suggest you try this http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/meliusltexx/philz_touch_6.25.0-meliusltexx.tar.md5 assuming you have the GT-I9205 of course.

So I tried the above but have same thing happening.
Everything looks as if it's working OK. Odin picks up the phone, I load the image in PDA.
Have Auto Reboot and F.Reset Time enabled (only).
I hit the start button and it's VERY fast - literally few seconds and I get blue RESET! in the top box in Odin.
What's interesting is that after another two minutes Odin will change to PASS!
But that's looong after my phone booted back to normal operation mode, it will also change to PASS even if I have disconnected my phone
Any suggestions anyone?
==== UPDATE ===
What I also noticed is that after I boot to recovery I'm getting ERROR and NO COMMAND - they will flash on the screen and instead of usual Android Robot I have one on it's side with red exclamation mark over it.
No Command and this point is displayed below the "robot".
This is really irritating
One thing when you are flashing a custom recovery on the mega is once you are done flashing with odin you MUST reboot the phone directly into the recovery mode again for like CWM to appear otherwise if you do not do this the stock recovery will be back, this only has to be done once when you first flash a custom recovery..then it will be okay after that.
And with odin that does the same thing for me it says RESET but it still works and after it will say PASS when the phone is disconnected already, not sure why odin does this but seems to have no effect on the flashing part...hope this helps you out.

I got same problem when i flashed cwm by phil with odin, what i did is to uncheck autoreboot in odin so after odin finish flash recovery image you need to turn off manually by long pressing power button, and then just boot into recovery, reboot system now and select yes disable stock recovery when prompted by cwm.

Plug it in, hold just the power button for 10-15 seconds. If no response it's dead. If you get the samsung logo you should be able to get download mode so long as your volume keys work.

Corrupt or locked bootloader or firmware mismatch (device or carrier). Are you sure you have an I9300?. Check the sticker inside the battery compartment. Make sure it has I9300 on it.
If it is definitely an I9300 then I'd go with corrupt or locked bootloader. Is the device locked to a carrier?. Are you sure that the firmware is the correct one for your carrier?.

Any other options please. Thanks again.
You need to flash the i9305 firmware. I9300 and I9305 are two totally different phones with totally different firmware. What or who on earth made you believe that I9300 firmware would work on an I9305..

Sorry this is just my first time to do something on phones, I was just advised by a friend to get help here on this site.
If you get a pass after flashing with Odin, make sure to perform a factory reset before booting the phone for the first timer with the new ROM.

Exactly, but usually you must flash, wipe, flash again to get rid of any old data.

Hi Audit,
How can I get to factory reset option before booting? Thank you.
Try this:
open Odin and uncheck everything excepf f.reset time;
flash the stock ROM;
when you see the word "reset" in the status window, remove the USB cable from the phone, remove the battery, wait about 5 seconds, replace the battery;
boot into recovery mode by pressing the home, volume up, and power button. When the phone starts to boot, let go of the power button but not the home or volume button;
when the phone boots into recovery, perform a factory wipe; and
reboot the phone.

Just to add, removing the battery and replacing it may cause the phone to boot automatically. In this case just pull the battery again and when you reinsert it the screen should stay black. If not, keep doing it. THEN you can safely get to recovery.
When you get the blue "pass" in odin the phone should reboot automatically. If it doesn't just wait 10 seconds and pull the cable, then pull the battery or hold the power button for about 20 seconds.

I think my phone is completely bricked because previously it is showing battery charge when i plug it in but now the screen shows zigzag white & gray colors. Anything else I can do? Thanks again.
Try another *good quality* usb cable. * = not a cheap crap cable, one supplied with a device.
As the last port to call, flash a pit file for your specific model.
In all honesty I'll tell you that the pit file may break your phone permanently (most likely) or it could just as easily fix it. The partition information table is "missing" and usually indicates hardware failure. The 'fuzzy screen' is another indicator of a totally buggered phone.

It stays on that and nothing happens. I cant enter recovery while holding the buttons for it (up, home n power). Tried in Kies "Firmware upgrade and initialization" but it ask for the Serial number which I dont have (I dont have the box of the phone anymore). I might be able to find the IMEI but would it work instead the serial number?
Any ideas what else to try? The phone was working fine, I fall asleep with it and when I woke up it was stuck on the booting logo, no idea what I could have done to it.
Thanks n advance
