Thanks, i've read that guide earlier and tried a few steps with no luck.
Is this what i should do?
"WARNING : FLASHING A BOOTLOADER IS DANGEROUS. FLASH WITH EXTREME CAUTION.
8) Download the Bootloader. Flash it as PDA or Bootloader in ODIN. Without ticking Re-Partitioning
9) Flash the Kernel, as in step 5
10) Flash the recovery package, like in steps 1-4 And that will fix any of your issues "

no dont mess with that 'Bootloader' one ma8, there is one on how to use pit file look into that
look for this in that thread
Recovering a soft bricked phone
1) Grab the Recovery Package, and you'll see a bunch of .tar files. Take a look at the names. You'll see CODE, MODEM, CSC and .PIT. Put each one in its place.
2) Turn off your phone. Enter Download mode by presing Volume Down + Home + Power button.
3) Plug in your phone. It will show you, in a yellow box in ODIN, ID:COMx (x being the number displayed, sometimes displays 7, sometimes displays 9)
Now here, take a breath
First try flashing WITHOUT the .PIT and re-partition. And only if it DOESN'T WORK OR FIX then you flash with the .PIT and Re-Partition ticked.
4) Once ready and done all your prayers, press Start. Wait patiently. It usually takes 5 minutes to flash.
Have you done everything correctly until now? Then...
Congratulations on recovering your phone!

[Q] HELP: How to unbrick from flashing a .pit via Odin

Good day gang,
I was trying to sort out a USB Host problem and from another forum I was following a thread in which they stated to flash a .pit etc etc etc. Last time i do something from another forum. Ive been here since WinMo days....i know better than that....
Well...I've loaded up Odin....got my ROM (Factory) and it would hang on NAND Write Start. From there it would do nothing.
"Tech Support" :silly:
Thanks Mate.
PS- It's a I-9300

Had that yesterday (only worse, Odin stopped half way during the flash), pull the battery and wait 30 seconds, put back battery and cover. Insert a jig in the phone`s usb port and you`re in downloadmode. Now flash a stock rom with Odin V3 3.0.4.
If you don`t have a jig you could try in manualy (volume down + menu + power button at the same time).If that doesn`twork there are threads on this site to revive your phone after a bad flash, please search for them. Good luck

First close everything Kies related, also in the windows traymanager. Rightclick on the bottom windows bar and select taskmanager, there are Kies aplications also and end them. Tick autoreboot and f.reset.time then retry flashing the rom with Odin. You don`t need an extra pit file because it is inside the rom already. Report back after you`re done please.

I believe it is the International Version, the ROM is brazilian if I am not mistaken (I9300XXALF2_I9300OXAALF2_I9300XXLF2). BTW this is a Demo Unit, so I don't have the calling services. But I do remember that when I was inquiring about aftermarket ROMs I found out this one was Brazilian.
So yes, this is the International version.
So you borked your partition table by flashing a .pit? It would probably be a good idea to go one step back and fix your partition table before trying to flash a Rom.
I'm sorry but I have no idea where to find a .pit to return your partitions to the factory state.

Me neither....But....I'll search around and see if there is a factory .pit somewhere....also...If I can get another device exactly like mine, can I dump the WHOLE system and flash EVERYTHING (pit, system, etc) onto mine?

Thanks to torsrex...I did a re-partition to the latest .pit found in that list. Then I selected my factory ROM which I had...
4 mins later... flash.....PASS!!!
In case this happens to a member...here is the simple solution....just hard to find .pit file.
Cheers,
Paul
PS- My system is COMPLETE: no files were lost....wow!
How did you flash the pit??
that is which option did you choose in Odin
Repartition and loaded the file to PDA or Loaded the file in PIT.
Also
Does anyone know how to extract Modem from Stock firmware??

[Q] Phone wont turn on after reboot.

Hello XDAdevelopers,
My GSII wont turn on after i auto reboot or auto reboot into recovery.
So i installed the stock ICS rom via ODIN, everything went fine. but when the installation finished, the phone stay dead, it wont reboot unless i remove the battery, wait a few seconds and put it in again.
So i booted into download mode, flashed the Root BOX JB, with syah via ODIN, everything fine. But it wont boot again.
I removed the battery, wait few seconds, place it again, then it turns on.
Every time i reboot my phone or turn it off, it wont turn on unless i remove the battery.
Do you guys know why this is happening ?
Already flashed stock AOKP, CM, STOCK and now trying with ROOT BOX, always the same problem.
Update1: Flashed the stock ICS ROM and Kernel trough Odin and still cant boot without removing the battery =/
Update 2: Flashed with PIT and Re-partition checked, still the same =/, what else should i try ?
update 3: Flashed the stock XXLPH kernel after the PIT, still the same =/
Exact Same problem

I'm interested in rooting my new Galaxy S4 but I also would like the original stock rom in case if I ever need to go back to it. Would anyone by any chance have the original stock ROM?
Model: SCH-I545
Android Version: 4.2.2
*If any other details are needed, let me know.
This is a Verizon phone fyi.
Also, could someone please link me to a tutorial/guide for rooting the S4 and some other links that have ROMs that are a "must-get".
Thanks,
Hydra
Read the development forums. The stock image is ready enough to find, as are step by step root instructions. As to your last question, that is the type of thing that gets a thread locked. Read the dev forums, pick a few roms that pique your interest, and give them a test drive.

I'm new here so tried my best to find the correct section, and did search for guides.
I'm currently using this guide, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2290798 , but upon flashing the prerelease kernal, it failed.

Also, in case of anything, how can I leave ODIN mode on the phone? Do I just power it off and reboot?
CM10.1 has been treating me pretty well. Haven't had any crashes or anything and runs fast and stable.
The only issue I noticed is you can't get a GPS lock while Network & Wireless location is on. Once you disable it GPS locks right in.

I now have a huge problem. I'm at the screen: Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again. Need to resolve this as soon as possible.

Go to this guide and download the .tar image to be used in Odin http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2301259. Boot into Odin mode following this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2290771. Follow all the instructions exactly and ask questions here if you have any.

The tar file is 1.8 Gbs, is this the only method? I have horrible download speed and going to take 3 hours to download it.
Btw, can someone educate me on what just happened? Did I brick my phone? Will I lose any data?
Thanks,

Nope, I'm working on trying Samsung Kies, maybe that will do it but I tried to get into recovery mode thru the phone but takes me to that same window.
I'm also downloading the stock firmware.
Did you try just flashing the stock kernel back using Odin? Everything you've done is listed in this thread, right? Technically if you tried to flash the pre release kernel and it failed nothing should have happened.

No, I haven't. Is that the one in the guide? If so, I'll do it soon. I have to go out, and now without a phone so going to be a problem for me.
Thanks for the quick support btw, appreciate it.

I don't know if it will work but it's worth trying. The stock Odin should definitely fix your problem though. Yes it's in the thread.

Is what I get upon flashing kernel to the stock kernel. I am downloading the stock ROM as I type this. 1 Hour left to download it. Btw, does it matter what type of ROM I download?
Is there a difference from, http://www.rwilco12.com/downloads.p...Galaxy S4 (Verizon) (SCH-I545)/Stock ROMs/TAR and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2301259 ?
I'm guessing it's the No Wipe feature?
And what's the worst case scenario with rooting the phone? Anything permanent? If this stock ROM fixes the current problem, then I'll attempt to root once more.

What is the PIT partition? Is that my internal storage?
Are you using the factory charging cable to connect to the computer? I don't know why everything keeps failing.... Odin has never failed for me. Do you have another computer you can try this on? Stock charging cable, different usb port or another computer are the things I would try next. I don't know anything about pit files.

Tried two types of cables, a generic one and factory/original one. I tried two different computers with 2 different OS. Tried 3 different ports per computer.
Don't know what else I can do.
Since you're able to boot into Odin mode I think this can be fixed but it may require a pit file. Since I know nothing about pit files or why Odin kept failing for you I'm going to let someone else try and help you. I do not think your phone is beyond hope at this point. Good luck.... I hope someone chimes in with the help you need.

Does anyone know if Verizon will replace it if it isn't my fault? There is no proof of rooting just a messed up system.

What do you mean splitting the firmware? Are you talking about decompiling it and breaking it into system.img, boot.img, etc?

Are you trying to flash the entire firmware or are you trying to install those separately? I ask because it is already in tar.md5 format to flash the entire thing with Odin.
In fact the instructions to flash the entire firmware are on the page if you scroll down.
Instructions
Extract (unzip) the firmware file
Download Odin v3.09
Extract Odin zip-file
Open Odin v3.09
Reboot phone in Download Mode (press and hold Home + Power + Volume Down buttons)
Connect phone and wait until you get a blue sign in Odin
Add the firmware file to AP / PDA
Make sure re-partition is NOT ticked
Click the start button, sit back and wait a few minutes

If you still want to break it apart I can probably help you

To completely reinstall the firmware use the directions on the Sammobile download page.... the ones I posted above. You only need the one file. Besides, I am splitting the tar.md5 apart now and there is only boot.img, system.img, etc.... they are not Odin files like in the video

[HELP!] Galaxy S3 not booting. Possible hardware failure? [Pics included]

Hey guys. I've run into an issue with my GT-i9300 International version just yesterday at it's racking my brains up.
Here's the lowdown about the device
It's the international GTi9300 (3G version)
It runs ArchiDroid v2.1.4 ROM
This rom was installed a year ago and gave no issues what so ever.
Just yesterday the device did not boot up. i Managed to get it into philz recovery to see whats the problem. i get the error message that it couldnt mount /data, /system & etc.
I have posted the screenshots. I've tried backing up, mounting and even factory wiping but it does not work
I have a feeling the eMMC flash storage has failed and therefore i have a hardware failure :crying:
I hope this is not the case since i have lots of important data on this phone (it's my secondary phone)
Have a look at the screens. lemme know the fate of my S3, whether it is possible to recover this device or not
p.s: I've checked all over the net. i've only come across the /efs not mounting issue. not what im going through

Have you flashed stock firmware with Odin yet? This is the first thing you need to do to see if Odin works or gives errors....don't forget to factory reset after flashing. I'm afraid you may have to live with losing your data if you can't back it up in recovery.

Status report.
I tried flashing a stock rom which is on 4.3
It says NAND write failure. screenshot uploaded.
So i'm guessing my eMMC is corrupt or has failed :crying:
I did more research and found out that i could repartition it using a .pit file
This thread shows the relevant pit files
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30547929#post30547929
GT-I9300_mx_20120220.pit is for the 16 gb s3.
i'll flash with with the ROM
Lemme know if this is alright :good:

Be careful the thread is for verizon you can't flash any pit files from there be 100% sure the pit file is for S3 international try looking here this is the rescue firmware >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30087735&postcount=6 << there is a pit file in the 4.1.2 download but you need to flash the 4.3 in the link to stop efs issues. But to be honest it doesn't look too good if this fails I recommend a service repair.
