[Q] No partition table! ODIN MODE FAIL! - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
About 2 days ago, i've this problem... there is no samsung assistance here! What can I do !????????????????
Arrived at home, put the phone on the charger and went to sleep! When I wake up!? Boot logo!!!
There is no way to enter to recovery mode, only download mode!!!
The status printed when I go into the download mode is a bit strange:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME:
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: No
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
Why is there no product name and why is the system status "custom"? I have not rooted or flashed it yet.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated

Here is the link to Odin and a couple of pit files https://www.dropbox.com/sh/5k2b4jq4fvkcs9u/3a-R-77qnj. i `am not sure wich pit to use to be honest but i saw a tutorial using this pit file GT-I9300_mx_20120329.PIT.
So flash the firmware you need from www.samfirmware.com/firmware and use the pit file, check repartition, cross your fingers and hope for the best.

I have this exact same problem. If anyone finds an answer let me know too. Is there possibly a way to fix this using ADB?

[Q] My new S2. Root attempt gone wrong. (Slight panic :P) SOLVED. TY.

I did the mistake of attempting to install this pre rooted kernel: STOCKPLUS-GT-I9100-XXLPB-KERNEL-ROOTED through Odin.¨
I couldn't find a version that matched my kernel gingerbread.XXKL5 so I thought it would be okay to just install any kernel with the same android 2.3.6 version.
All I wanted was to root my phone, now my phone won't even boot. I think it's stuck on a bootloop ? It goes to the samsung warning triangle screen and stays there.
My phone doesn't seem to be able to enter recovery mode. However, it can enter download mode ..
I'm finding this whole rooting business slightly difficult. I'm in over my head. Please, assist me.
Kind regards,
Nate.
* UPDATE: Managed to reset my phone using the steps detailed by Ctomgee (my hero) I thought my phone was done for. Again, thanks everyone for the invaluable assistance you guys have provided! I even got back all my apps and data
ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED: Back from the dead.
Now I'm kind of scared to try but if anyone could explain exactly how to root the i9100G version I'd be much obliged ..

Surely STOCKPLUS-GT-I9100-XXLPB-KERNEL would be 4.0.3. rather than 2.3.6?
If you're a noob, why ignore all the stickies and FAQ and jump straight for some random kernel?
I was reading a lot of posts via xda dev forum and someone linked to that kernel and I dunno what I was thinking. Apparently I wasn't thinking at all. SORRY. Now how do I fix this? =(

Reading it right now, thanks, however, the download link for the kernel file they're advising you to d/l seem to have expired? Which kernel should I use?

Please give me a link to the kernel file I should use to restore my phone =)
Before you make things worse, are you even sure you have an I9100? A quick search for XXKL5 revealed I9100G as more likely.
Stop waiting to be spoon fed and do some searching and reading.

You can try KL3 from Chainfire's CF-Root thread. Should work. Or just use Siyah or Speedmod, and be done with it.
oinkylicious is right... I didn't even think of that.

Yup. There are MANY different SII's... Most have completely different model numbers. GT-I9100 and GT-I9100G are similar, but have different chipsets, so are not compatible for firmwares. Take very good care you only flash things meant for the I9100G.

That is forced download mode. Means you have to flash something to get it working again.
As long as you can get to download mode, it's not hopeless.
Try this.
Thanks! Just completet step 2. Repartition with Odin successfully!
Waiting 30 mins due to d/l limit on mirror site but then I will download firmware from http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/ and proceed with step 3. Should I just get the European one?

I've got no experience with this. I found it with a search. I have a non-G model. Just make sure you use a G firmware.

I experienced it last weekend. Bricked!
Having the same issue mistaken I9100G for I9100 and flashed Kernel based on I9100. Initially hanged at the Samsung logo with Yellow Triangle when reboot the phone it shows Phone---Exclamation----PC.
Searched and tried almost everything except sending to MobileTech.
After days of trying I resend it back to Samsung Service Centre claiming got the Logo after updating new FW from Kies.
With no questions asked from Service Centre, they restored my phone the next day.
I would advice you to send it back to service centre if you run outta options.

Probably not... The G variant was only sold in those regions you're finding, as far as I know. Just use the I9100GOLCKL3 Malaysia one, it looks like the latest one. They'll all have english.

I actually feel slightly cheated since the product advertised is clearly the S2 with dual core see
http://www.bazula.se/Samsung-Galaxy/Samsung-Galaxy---mobiler/Samsung-Galaxy-S-II-i9100.htm
Read " Dual Core Processor på 1,2 Ghz "
According to my knowledge, the i9100G is actually limited to single core and is clocked at 1Ghz ?

[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,

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??

Hi i've had CM9 in my phone for a half year now without any issues, however two days ago i woke up and went to check my phone, it froze and after that i haven't been able to boot it up, it just hungs at the samsung logo with the triangle and all that, so i've been trying to sort out this for two days straight now and i'm getting really sick of this, what i've done so far is:
* tried to flash alot of rom's and such with no success, stucks at: NAND Write Start!!
* tried to flash on a different computer
* tried to flash with different usb ports
Oh and i can't get into the recovery mode, only the download mode.

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!

Also, currently the phone does not charge, battery is fine as i've tried the battery from own s3 and vice versa...both batteries are fine but the phone does not appear to charge...I'm hoping this is ROM related....
BTW...In the download mode the product bit is blank and does not say Samsung galaxy s3 like my own working phone does...screenshot attached.
Any help will be much appreciated otherwise its an expensive gamble!

You could try a complete reset of the phone using Kies
Start Kies then go to Tools > Firmware Upgrade and Installation then follow the on screen instruction the information needed is on the sticker under the battery
you have no pruduct name, try flashing only boot first, search for i9300 boot , then retry flashing and dont re partition when flashing boot

[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.

So flashing all 4 stock files (including pit) via odin turned out to be a Fail
I guess the eMMC is not functional resulting in a hardware failure
