Odin keeps crashing trying to stock everything. Whats wrong? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey,
I read all tutorials and posts dealing flashing s3 and it´s not even my first time flashing with odin.
I´ve installed newest ParanoidAndroid (CM10). Maybe this is the reason because maybe I cannot Odin flash when I´m on "NO samsung" firmwares?
I have to get everything stock because I have to send it back because of screen issues.
I tried ToolKit too on Mac Osx with virtual environment (parallels) and even on real windows 7 64bit machine.
With both standalone odin and Toolkit is Odin crashing after selecting PDA File (from this Post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26530814&postcount=8) and pressing start after a short while

This one is branded vodafone germany firmware. I don't remember which firmware it had when get s3 first time.
Guys, what do you think I´m doing wrong?

Try starting odin as administrator.. Also post the error message you get in Odin..

No errors in Odin just closing/chrashing. I did run with admin too.
I tried another firmware and it worked. With parallels on Mac (wow, first time trying VM. Had dual boot before).
Downloaded the vodafone firmware again but still don't let me flash it on my device.
Now I'm unbranded stock.
Hope they don't make problems.
Bootloader says no and official.

You are good.. No need to worry.. No means flash counter is zero and official means that you are on official firmware

How to switch back from I9100XXLP6 ## to 2.3.6?

Hello,
I just flashed with odin the new ICS firmware out on sammobile for sgs2 (I9100XXLP6 ##) which came with a file for PDA, for CSC and for Phone, but now that I am trying to flash again any 2.3.6. firmware I keep getting errors already at the start when associating my google account and stuff...
I assume that is because of the additional CSC and PHONE file that was included in I9100XXLP6 ## but I don´t know where to find the refering files for 2.3.6. firmwares since these only come with 1 file (for PDA)...
I would be glad for any help I can get
Hi,
Could you give more information about the errors? At what point do they occur? What errors do you get?
The csc files can be found somewhere on xda, use the search function. The file you need for the phone is called a modem, can also be found on xda.
Although I do not expect that this causes the errors, how did you restore? Did you while your phone and cache first?

What 2.3.6 rom are u trying to flash on?
If the DL was dodgy it would cause problems, redownload and reflash
PIT: if included, also optional
PDA:Code
Phone:modem
CSC:multi csc
Did you do a full wipe?

Make sure you are back on the GB boot loaders and that you have done a full wipe.

1.Install again (XXLP6) completely.
2.turn off the phone and enter download mode and install the (XWKK5).
3. Once you install the XWKK5 completely. turn off the phone and go into recovery mode and perform the wipes
I hope to help and luck.
I hope you understand me and sorry but my English is a bit bad jejjee
I flashed this update, throuch odin, and now the phone will only boot into download mode or the screen that says to use kies recovery. The problem is, even though I can boot into download mode, the computer no longer recognizes my phone. No sounds when I plug it in or anything. If I plug a jig in, it will come on so it's not the port. Can someone help me?

You need a three part firmware, with modem, csc and pda, flash with pit and repartition, to do a full wipe. I think you used a non wipe firmware, that's the reason for the bugs.
Question
When you flashed the LP6, did you flash it with the .pit file too? I suggest you flash back to your stock ROM but you also have to flash a .pit file as well. This happened to me too when I flashed the KP8 ROM. I reflashed my stock ROM but it kept giving me errors at the initial boot. So I flashed my stock ROM again this time with the same .pit file. If I'm not mistaken it's this: u1_02_20110310_emmc_EXT4.pit

Did you get the 2.3.6 firmware? If not look at this thread from Infratech: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278. Have a good look at the section marked "Individual CSC Packages". Maybe this could help if you suspect a wrong CSC being the cause of your problem.

Its stuck on download mode, when i take the battery out it stays on samsung galaxy s2 boot writing , i flashed the I9100XXKI3 kernel to free me from the bricked page where it has a little yellow triangle with the phone and pc picture in the middle
looks too much mess up and you took wrong step in panic..
You should not have flashed a Kernel to get rid of bricked screen (phone!PC), you have to get download mod and falsh complete ROM that time...
you told your Running ROM was 2.3.6 but KI3 is an old version...

Try to use Heimdall. Maybe that works.
You say you dont have Kies. Download kies. Run it and it will install the drivers. Close Kies. Make sure its not running in the background. Install your original firmware that came with the phone using Odin. If your in download mode, your not bricked.

GT-I9300 Help!, Tried everything on here...

Hey guys,
I've spent the better half of 8 hours looking on multiple forums/downloading roms/attempting to flash my cousin's GT-I9300.
I attempted KIES update and emergency maintenance and they both start freezing.
I attemped odin with a multitude of roms with the model & serial given by kies (PDA:LLB / PHONE: LLA / CSC: LL3)
I've even downloading android commander to no avail.
I've successfully rooted and flashed my i747 multiple times so i'm somewhat familiar with the odin flash process, but this is a bit unsual.. and frustrating lol.
The phone is in reboot cycle (loops after the samsung logo animation), won't let me access recovery but will let me get into odin recovery.
Odin seems to have failed at every stock rom flash...
ANY help?

I assume with odin recovery you mean download mode? If so try to flash a stock ROM (maybe first a version that is from your region, you can find them on sammobile.com) via Odin and make sure that KIES is turned off (also from task manager, even better uninstall it). Do you have any error message showing up when you try to flash with Odin?
Try the flash again, and if it loops, try booting recovery and doing a reset......yes,I know you said you can't get into recovery, but just try after the flash
Also remember it can take a few minutes to boot after a flash, so be patient and give it a chance

I've attempted to flash maybe 7-8 different roms. My cousin won the gt i9300 at a raffle overseas so thats why im unsure of what exact country it is. Is there a definitive way of finding which country exactly? I do know it was an unbranded rom and fully unlocked because he's been using it here (w/ straighttalk) for the past 6 months or so just fine i even flashed jellybean 4.1.1 when it was first released (via kies).
When I try to and get the version from kies it tells me (PDA:LLB / PHONE: LLA / CSC: LL3) but no country.. so idk if there's a definite way of finding this out. I'm downloading ICS rom and gonna try and roll back the rom as i've read some people did that and it worked.
Once i bring up download mode it says on the top (ODIN MODE) and binary download count YES (1 count) and rom as custom. I attempt to flash Odin it always fails right after system.img. never gets past i've tried to do multiple attempts(5-6) per rom but no luck yet. never gets past "downloading... do not turn off) phase.
thanks alot for the assistance guys!
CSC more or less tells you the country .
Overseas first question then is it actually I9300 look under the battery .

Model Number under battery says GT-I9300 same thing that's prompted during kies for emergency recovery.. which downloads but ends up not recognizing it. Odin flash on the other hand recongizes it when i plug it but keeps failing.
LL3 is from Pakistan http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/?model=GT-I9300&pcode=PAK#firmware
Try downloading any unbranded firmware cause it's pretty much it's the same thing. You can always change the csc after you flash your phone.
or Download the right firmware on the country on which you are right now.
Then follow the youtube guide here on how to properly flash it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646610. You can just skip the unrooting part i guess.
EDIT:
Annandale is in UK right? On the 2nd link that i gave you the first firmware there is from UK so i think you can flash that one.

I had a similar problem, my phone just froze in the middle of a phone call, had to pull out battery, and when i tried to turn it on, it wouldn't pass the second "SAMSUNG" logo, just stayed there forever, with the blue light (Official JB 4.1.2 - not rooted)... Anyway, after 3 days of trying, downloaded bunch of firmwares, but all of them gave me the infamous "Complete(Write) operation failed". This is how I MANAGED to revive my i9300 16Gb Int:
1.Open ODIN, load ONLY the pit file corresponding to your phone (In my case i9300 16Gb Int'l - GT-I9300_mx_20120220.pit), check "Repartition" and "F.Reset Time" and hit "Start".
- If this step goes OK (All threads completed. (succeed 1 / failed 0))
2. Click on the "Reset" button in Odin (or close and re-open it), in PDA select "recovery-cwm-touch-6.0.1.2-i9300.tar", make sure only "F.Reset Time" and "Auto Reboot" are checked, and flash it. If everything goes OK, you should now have CWM instead of Stock recovery.
3. Take any microSD card, any size, and put THIS file on the root of the microSD using a card reader or whatever you prefer - but be careful, copy the zip as it is - do not unzip it.
4. Insert the memory card in the phone, enter recovery*, and select "Install zip from External Storage" and choose the file you put on the root of the card (by the way, it's a 4.0.4 downgrade bootloader), it should flash in a second, the phone will restart, and that's it!
5. Download and flash 4.0.4 Stock FW using Odin (i used "I9300XXBLH1_OXEBLF1.zip"), everything should go OK, and the phone will be bootable again.
*(my phone didn't wanted to enter recovery the old fashioned way using 3-button combo, but i managed to enter recovery from charging mode, by connecting the charger on a switched off phone, and as soon it starts charging press Vol Up + Home + Power, and when the FIRST Logo (Galaxy S III GT-I9300) appears, let go of the power button, keep pressing the Vol Up + Home, and it enters recovery).

Updating to 4.1.2

Hi
Today was released v4.1.2 for my girlfriend SII.
She's still on 2.3.3, the phone is rooted but she can't update through kies because of binary count.
What's the easiest way to solve this?
1-Using triangle away and update using kies (assuming that after using triangle away she can update)?
2-Using odin to manual update? Does she still needs to use triangle away?
3-Her carrier is TMN Portugal. But since it' probably full of bloatware can she use TPH (no carrier) from Portugal firmware?
4-Can she use triangle away on gingerbread (2.3.3)?
Thanks
Download the 4.1.2 firmware you want from Sammobile.com.
From what i know, if you flash a stock firmware your binary count will revert to 0 (not sure though)
About the carrier thing, i don't know. But you can root it aswell on 4.1.2 and then you can use titanium (or other software) to freeze or uninstall bloatwares..
Get the ROM you like (it doesn't matter if it's from portugal or not, branded or unbranded) from sammobile like the above poster said and Mobile Odin (play store), that's the easiest way to do it.

Thanks for the replies :good:
Instead of mobile odin which is a paid application on the market can i simple use the windows version of odin?
I know there's a lite version here on xda, but we have to manually install another file, and seems easier just using odin pc version.
Sorry for the newbie questions but it's not my phone.

Yes.
Put the phone in download mode. Connect to pc install drivers etc, then make sure you kill kies in task manager on windows. Or whatever OS your using. Then open odin. And flash the desired rom.tar to your phone. Simple as that
There are many guides for using odin. If you need any help just ask.
Edit-
as far as im aware, triangle away works on every version of android i have tried. As long as its rooted.

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S2 Heimdall Problems OSX 10.6.8

Hi, I have been trying to root my Galaxy S2 and I can't get Heimdall to detect the phone. I put it in download mode and connect it to the computer, then run the detect function and it cant find the device. I have searched for hours for answers on why this is happening but I can't seem to find the reason.
One answer i found was to use kextunload to make sure no other USB drivers were loaded and interfering with the phone when it was being plugged in but it didn't work for me.
Phone: Samsung Galaxy SII GTI9100
Network: Meteor Ireland
Kernel: KF3
Android : 2.3.3 Gingerbread
CSC: KE1
All I want to do is update my OS, however it can't be updated via Kies because my CSC and Location are different(I think), I just get the message "Your devices current firmware version is not supported to update firmware via Kies".
Any help would be great, thanks in advance!
Are you using a mac?
If not, why aren't you using Odin?
Anyways, if you're rooted, flash with Mobile Odin.

Yes, OSX 10.6.8 is the version of OSX I'm running on my Macbook. I am not rooted either, this is a problem I have had while trying to root my phone.
Gingerbread right? Not that easy to root without a PC.
Flash JB in a pc/laptop.
