Pull the battery, go in recovery and do a data factory reset, clear the cache and reboot. That should fix it

Go to recovery mode
Wipe data / Wipe cache / Wipe dalevik cache
When finished, remove the battery to power-off the phone.
Launch ODIN on your computer and flash your full firmware (the lastest available for your phone).
Don't boot your phone between wipe and flash. When you push the battery on the phone, turn it directly in Download mode.
To finish, go to recovery mode and wipe data
It will remove all files for sure. I have similar issue with my I9300 : wipe data / wipe cache from recovery doesn't remove Clockwork mode and SuperSu !

Oupss. Can you give us information reported by *#1234# on dialer ? Perhaps a CSC <unknow> issue.

Have you tried flashing CF root and enter recovery and format the phone .
Outside of that it looks like a JTag repair or service centre repair .

Phone reboots when turned off...

Hi.
Met a problem with my GT-I9300. When I shut the phone off it just reboots. The phone was rooted and running a custom rom when this started. Now I have unrooted with mobile Odin and flashed a official firmware but the problem persists.
I have even tried a battery pull. When battery is inserted again the phone remains off til I push the powerbutton. But when I try to turn it off after this it just reboots again.
Anyone else had this? Tips on what to do?
I've never had any luck fixing this problem. I always had to wipe and flash. However, as a temporary fix, you can power off from recovery.

can I ask what you are doing when you turn it off?

Just to clarify, even wipe the phone and restore it to stock completely by flashing official firmware doesnt solve it.
When I turn it off I hold powerbutton til i get the powermenu. From there I choose "turn off". Phone does what it should, screen goes off and everything, only a few seconds later the phone boots again.

If the phone was totally cleaned formatted sd card and stock firmware installed then its a hardware problem .
But my guess is it as not totally clean .
....................................
Clean Slate for those that balls up the firmware .Or need to return to service or decide if its hardware/firmware problem .
Backup data first if phone is working .
Boot CWM recovery
Mounts and Storage
Format cache data system sd card .
Remove battery
Boot to download mode
Open Odin
Install correct stock firmware .

I have now tried to wipe and format sys/data/cach/sd in cwm. Flashed stock firmware via odin. Still same issue. Guess its hardware.
Thanks anyway.
This may sound strange, but is this the clock problem the Desire HD had.
In time settings, uncheck the auto update.
Change time & date to something random.
Power off and pull the battery before it reboots.
Give it a min, power up, reselect auto update and reboot.
Should be good to go. If its the same problem that is.

It happened also to me once. I flashed my rom in the same order as you did. But what my problem solved was, I made a wipe AFTER I installed the ROM. After that, I didn't had this issue anymore.
These are the steps I did...
- Get into the CWM recovery
- Wipe Data/factory reset
- Wipe Cache
- Wipe Dalvik-Cache
Hope it works also to you...
Solved
I solved it by flashing a later official firmware - XXALF6.

Update: It's rare, but has returned to work normal and I doing nothing
Hello,
i found a solution for that problem. You will lose some sd card files.
go to settings-storage-others (or other) and mark all files. Then delete them an go to downloadmode to reflash you firmware. Reboot and the problem is missing.

[Q] [SGS3]Stuck at Samgun Logo. All options have been expended, Desperately need help

Okay, So.. As the title says, i have googled for DAYS, Tried every damn thing i could get my hands on..
Now.
So far, im able to get into download mode, and also into recovery mode, I've tried doing a factory reset, and then flashing a stock rom, and i've tried every concevable method of fixing this damned phone, Its driving me crazy, I flash a new rom with odin, phone reboots, (adds to count) and is STILL stuck at that ****ty flashing samsung logo..
I'd really appreciate ANY help i can get, And i AM a noob at this, So i dont FULLY understand EVERY detail of this, But i've read around enough to know a few things.
My SGS3 has been out of commision for longer than i've actually used it.. So.. Yeah, Getting quite desperate!
Please let me know if there are any particular details yyou need!
Hi,
Your problem is EFS.IMG
Please clear it. Use Odin3 for that.
Boot into recovery and wipe data/factory reset, after you've flashed your ROM.
I had your problem some weeks ago,I finally managed to get arround this after I deleted the dalvik cache and flashed stock rom trough odin,and worked like a charm :good:
try this first before thinking of efs errors!

Thank so damn much for the help so far guys, i really appreciate it!
Cam't really help you with the EFS, but:
-bootloops are often fixed by installing rom then wiping data+cache from recovery as others said
-the dalvik cache can be wiped in the recovery, you can find "wipe dalvik cache" under the advanced submenu

Im in recovery mode right now (Vol UP+ Home + Power)? And i dont see an 'Advanced' menu option;
Options i DO have: reboot system now; apply update from ADB; apply update from external storage; wipe data/factory reset; wipe cache parition;
apply update from cache..
Any ideas?
These options are only available in a custom recovery.
Just try wipe --> flash stock room --> wipe

i just want to clarify... when you say 'flash STOCK rom' Do you mean i need to get a rom for a SGS3 VAU (Vodafone Asutralia) and flash that (go to odin, put it in PDA, etc)
and if THAT is the case.. Where would i get said rom, Because i've downloaded it from sammy firmware 4 times, each time it finishes the download without a hitch, when i go to extract the zip to get the needed files, it says its corrupted or some such BS..
Go to Sam mobile and download the firmware mate.
You will end up with a tar md5 file you flash using PDA section of Odin.
Good luck!

Kies is by far the easiest and safest way to factory reset. I have had to use it about 3 times in the past 6 months because I have flashed something I shouldn't have. Plus Kies now has a lite mode that is quicker at flashing your phone back to stock firmware.

Thanks everyone!

Same error. But i tried to make Firmware upgrade on Kies and i get Service version : PDA:NA5 / PHONE:NA8 / CSC:NA1 (O2U), I dont know exactly this phone, because this was my uncle who give it to me now, but he doesnt say about this phone. I think i need to change phone CSC, because in Lithuania where is no O2 service.

Hardbricked my S2. HELP!!!

Here is my case.
Was on 4.4.4 SlimSaber with TWRP recovery..
So, i intended to change back to stock rom. Downloaded the stock firmware from sammobile
After that, I used ODIN 3.10 to flash the stock firmware. Everything goes smoothly. But, after the process completed, I have bootloop in the Samsung logo.
Tried removing the battery and replaced it.. still the same.
Now I cant enter the Download and Recovery mode. My PC still detects my device, ODIN still show blue sign when I plugged it in
Any advice for me to recover it?

Wipe data and cache partition in recovery. Turn off the phone and hold 3 buttons at the same time (volume up+home+power). Then wipe data and cache.

"com.samsung.ιpservιce has stopped" spam

Hello, i have a problem with my friends phone (s6 edge). After some time it upgraded to 7.0.0 his googleapps crashed entirely, no playstore etc, so we had to restore it through the Samsung smart app -> emergency firmware etc after we took a backup of his files.
The phone was completely restored BUT after connecting to the wifi or data to connect online, the tittle message spam him all the time. Did so google research, even got to recovery to reset it again to factory but i had no luck. Custom Rom is a no-go since its still under warranty. I though of restoring it to 6.0.1 through odin but ive read thats not 100% working.
Any insights?
Thanks in advance
