Hey,
I have a Samsung galaxy s3 GT-i9300 that wont boot up (it only shows the samsung logo).
Ive rebooted, removed the battery but no success. The only thing that works is download mode. It is still stock (not rooted).
I know theres some similar threads already however theyre rooted with custom roms. Any suggestions? What can I do?

You could try reflashing your firmware via Odin, you can download it from Sammobile quite easily

If you flash a official release from sammobile it should not increase your binary count, thus leaving your warranty intact. It is when you root or flash a custom Rom your binary will increase.
Worst case you need to use triangleaway if counter increases

If anyone's interested, I had to return the phone under warranty where they replaced the main PBA.
The combination to get to recovery is this (for future reference)
Vol-up + home + power button. Once galaxy s 3 logo pops up quickly let go of the power button and hold in again then let all three go once in recovery.

You guy´s soft bricked your phones thats why u dont get any where re-flashing, but heres something worth trying without risking anything!!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
JUST GET YOUR SAMMY STOCK ROM FIRST FROM THEIR SITE
Use this Odin version >android.gs/download-odin-1-85/.
Above the country code and you can know the three-letter code which applies to your country. Now look for the date of release and select an appropriate update release for your phone.
Step-4 Rebooting
Reboot by holding Home, Volume Down and Power buttons. Remember you need to hold the Volume Down button and not the Volume Up button as in the first step. You will get into the download mode. So, you phone is now ready to get the firmware via USB.
The phone will flash a warning about the dangers involved. You should not worry as you are putting the firmware back on the phone.
On the computer, now unzip the Samsung firmware folder you downloaded from the official website. Now extract the .md5 file.
Now open Odin, select.md5 file in the 'PDA' section of Odin.
Make sure that Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time is ticked.
Connect your Galaxy S3 to your computer via the USB lead. Odin will automatically detect the phone and a pop-up message will show. Now start the process of transferring the file.
Step-5
Wait for the file to download. Odin will show 'PASS!' in the box once the transfer is successful. And the phone will then, reboot.
If it hangs on the Samsung logo, don't worry reboot into the recovery mode by holding down Home, Volume Up and Power buttons. Wipe the data/factory reset and reboot.
This will in all chances bring your phone to a functioning mode. Sign in and start working.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The extent of you phone being bricked may vary, but the symptoms are often the same -- a reboot loop, switching itself off after the Samsung logo or never getting into the operating system. As long as you can get into the recovery mode, there is hope to recover the Samsung Galaxy S3,
no success
Hi guys,
your solutions are great but in my case it didnt help at all.
My phone still stucks at logo. Only download mode is possible, but odin wanted a pit file always when i tried to download the sammy firmware rom. After all i even downloaded the pit file GT-I9300_mx_20120329.pit. But even with the pitfile and Re-Partitioning it didnt function at all.
My SGS3 T-Mobile can not start at all.
PLEASE HELP ME, i am helpless.
with best regards

Ok so basically I assume you know how to use Odin and what it is? You will need the phone's original firmware, which you can then flash to your phone via odin using the 'PDA' button. All of this will be done while your phone is connected via USB to your computer, and make sure it is in 'Download Mode' (vol down + home + power) when flashing it.

Could have at least read the rules mate, and/or seen the xda 'noob' vid, search, but I understand your urge to fix your precious phone.
Anyway, I would go about it like I said above:
- Download original firmware (.tar.md5 file)
- Open Up Odin, then click on 'PDA' and select the original firmware file
- Make sure 'Auto Reboot' and 'F. Reset Time' are CHECKED
- Boot into Download Mode on your phone
- Connect the phone to your computer
- On Odin, press 'Start'
- Wait for it to finish flashing
After that, your phone should reboot automatically and work again

Stop panicing! That just makes everything worse
First of all; have you got a USB download-mode jig? If yes, use that. That will basically force the device into Odin mode, so you can re-do the flash
If you don't have one, then buy one from:
eBay
Amazon
mobiletechvideos(.com)
or get the stuff, make your own
Once you have any type of Jig/Dongle, whatever you want to call it, I call it a jig, plug it into the phone. Unplug the jig and plug the phone (via USB cable) into the computer, start Odin and flash stock firmware (Which ever you want, GB or ICS)
Once you've done that, flash any type of C.-recovery and then you can (carefully) flash a different ROM. I would recommend using recovery-programs anyway, as they esnure that everything goes to plan, Odin just flashes away and checks everything AFTERWARDS, CWM checks before AND after
Well, anyway, hope I could help you!
Thanks

Resetting won't help anyways since you flashed for the wrong device. You need to go in the download mode which is power + vol. down + home button, then via Odin flash your firmware.

Stop flaming, it's against the rules ^^
I have a Galaxy Player 3.6 YP-GS1CB/XAA Nothing was modified from the factory image, It went dead while a game was running and now when I start it, it comes up with the samsung logo and restarts. I havent been able to get it connected to the PC either. I left it charge for hours, when off the charge icon doesnt come up on the screen either. How would i reset it to the default rom, I havent been able to get it to start in download mode either, if im doing it right.
I have a few of these around so I did try putting a full charge battery in it and using its battery in another player and the other player works fine, the battery is full. So basically its stuck in a boot loop and I would prefer fixing it myself then sending it off for repair if possible, any ideas?
Edit: I managed to get into recovery mode and reset it to defaults but its still stuck in a boot loop after recovery and clearing caches, I can now get it into download mode, it seems i need to reflash the stock firmware if possible. Where could I download it and how would i flash it? I have another player available if i need to download the firmware off of it

if your device has a physical home button, it is eu/int
if your device has a capacitive home button, it is usa
you can find the files here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1864741
this wont be 100% default, you will have root too
you will need to use odin in windows, do NOT check "repartition", just check PDA and load the factoryfs.tar.md5 file (at least i know thats the filename for usa version, as that is all i use)

My little brother ran into the exact same problem with his Galaxy Player 3.6 he sent it to me to try and fix. The problem is identical to the one you had. My question is, do you recall how you were able to get it into recovery mode? I've tried pressing the Power and Down button which does bring me to the "Warning Custom OS" screen but as soon as I try pressing the Up key it just reboots and goes back to the Samsung screen.
Keep holding it.

Hello,
Try these steps:
1. Download stock rom (tar file/for EU or US, if you got the US edition, download factoryfs.img and normalboot.img and repack them both into a tar file, maybe with 7zip)
2. Download and install Samsung Kies for the drivers
3. Download ODIN3 (This is a flashing toolkit, just search on the internet for it and make sure you download V1.85 or higher)
4. Take out the battery from your player and wait a few seconds
5. Put the battery back into your device and wait also a few seconds
6. Boot player into Download Mode
7. Open ODIN (odin3.exe)
8. Click "PDA" button and select the tar file which includes factoryfs.img and normalboot.img
9. Make sure nothing except "Auto reboot" and "F.Reset time" are checked
10. Connect device and wait until ODIN recognizes it (you will "Added!!" in the white box
11. Click "Start" and wait until flashing process is fully finished
12. Unplug and reboot!
Good luck!
If this helped --> Let me know and hit thanks
If not --> PM me or answer the thread

i had the same issue with my galaxy 3.6 media player, the only difference is after the annoying ass bootloop the player just stopped turning on entirely. is there any way to fix this? my pc wont recognize it, it wont start up at all, so i have no idea if its even taking a charge. any help would be appreciated greatly...
Try to charge the player completely and take the battery out for 15 seconds. After that you need to go into download mode, download Odin, and load a stock ROM that fits your region. Fill it in as PDA and press start.
If that didn't work then you can try to download a kernel that best fits your device aka clockworkmod recovery and put in PDA and press start. After that your device should boot up in the recovery.

I think I have the same story.
I have a Samsung Galaxy player 3.6 model: YP-GS1CB/XAA, that seems to be dead. I have looked a long time at different ways to solve this own my own and am at a dead end.
Symptoms:
1. Device shows only the Samsung Logo when I try to turn it on, looks like it is in a reboot loop.
2. When hooked to a charger or computer, it shows a small pinwheel on screen.
Actions: I hold down power and volume down buttons to try to go into Odin download and the logo goes away(blank screen). Then it vibrates and logo reappears. If I continue to hold the buttons down it just repeats, hence reboot loop.
I tried the restore mode, power and volume up buttons with no results.
I attempted Odin and Unsoft Brick. Both did not recognize the device. I also tried two different windows computers and different USB ports. Still no progress.
Question: Do I have a brick or is there some other way to breathe life back into my little toy?
Thanks for any light you might be able to shine on this.

Yes, first download a ROM, choose from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1864741 try the Original ROM. Then boot into recovery by pressing Home, Volume Up and Power Button at the same time while the device is off! Then flash the ROM. Just ask if you need questions/help.

download, unzip the downloaded file until u get a tar.md5 file
got o recovery and wipe data/factory reset (and format system, preload, data and cache if on a custom recovery, check under mount and storage)
reboot to download mode, plug your phone
open odin, click pda, select the tar.md5 file, hit start and wait.
if the phone does boot after flashing, wait a minute, reboot to recovery, wipe data/factory reset and reboot (even if the device boots at first time, i advise u to do this wipe anyway)
back working again, couldnt get into the recovery mode, tried the up volume home and power, also searched and tried the up down power also, all i want to do is unlock my phone lol

phone is working, but want it unlocking....cannot access recovery mode, tried Remove battery, and press vol up, home, and power. Release the power when samsung galaxy s2 appears but keep holding vol up and home.
phone it's working fine and you can't get into recovery mode?
Keep trying that combo, do it while the device is off, press it till you get there.
And why the hell do you want to get into recovery in order to unlock the phone?
Sent from the little guy
the guy above recommended i go to recovery and delete all data, so thats what i was trying to do, he also helped get my phone back working, is it possible to unlock without rooting ?
Yes, by getting the unlock code from your carrier.
I suggest you read a couple of threads before you attempt rooting it.
Sent from the little guy
i bought the phone on my carrier from ebay, i have now changed carrier but like the phone.
Root it is.
Did you get into recovery yet?

Tell me this:-
-From where did u downloaded it? post the link here.
-Is your phone rooted?
Plus i don't know much about installing roms from odin and found that most the procedures use CWM recovery to do so.

before i install the rom it was stuck on bootloop so i did resetfactory - wipe cache - wipe dalvik cache and still in bootloop so i downloaded the ROM from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-star/development/update-custom-rom-4-2-2-fakeslimkat-t2955068
and because my phone was in bootloop so i couldn't access the SD to put the file in it so the recovery mode had no use to me.
so i used odin.
now my phone is not turn on at all.
how can i get my phone into download mode when its not running?
is there a way to do that?
how can i get the rom into a device that turned off !؟
Please help me.
I NEVER INSTALLED ANY CUSTOM ROM ON MY OWN. FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW AT YOUR OWN RISK
right now you don't have any operating system on your phone i suppose.
Note: MtkDroidTools gives an option to boot in recovery. I hope it work for you.
Try this:-
-install latest CWM with odin or CWM
-then zapdos kernel (either with odin or cwm)
-then install stock firmware.
If it doesn't work, re-install the kernel.
Good Luck

hi, im new here, the problem i have is this: i have a galaxy s2 i777, i had the issue that whenever i restarted my phone it would go into recovery mode, that was after i tried to put cyanogenmod 10 in it, before that, my power button stopped working after trying to root with framaroot and choosing supersu and restarted, so i had to flash because i couldnt choose an option on recovery mode with my power button not working and i did, and flashed to 4.1.2, then i tried to root again with framaroot but this time superuser, and when i restarted the phone it got stuck on samsung, so i tried to flash it again but now im getting stuck on factoryfs.img with odin, ive tried with 3 different roms, ICS 4.0.3, 4.0.4 and JellyBean 4.1.2, but always the same, also, when i restart now i get the message "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery mode on kies".

You need to perform a wipe data/factory reset from within recovery. Since you have a bad power button, and cannot select that in stock recovery, you either need to get a touch recovery onto the phone, or you need to get the power button replaced. I'm not aware of a touch recovery that is in tar format that you can flash with Odin, but maybe someone else knows. Also, the recovery will need to match the system so that the phone will boot. Since you have flashed stock 4.1.2 but subsequent attempts to flash did not complete, you probably still have stock 4.1.2 on the phone. If so, that would require AJK v4.9 NoSwap, but again, I'm not aware of a tar version of that kernel.
Sorry I can't be of more help.
With regard to your other thread, there is a UCKH7 pit file in the Download Repository, but no one has posted a pit from UCMD8. I would expect that they are the same, though, since these phones never get repartitioned when upgraded. However, I doubt that will help your situation. What you need to do is perform a wipe data/factory reset.

If you can solder and are handy at such things, you can get the replacement button for about $10 or $15. Or you can send it out to a repair service for usually about $40 to $50.
While you have a faulty power button:
To turn the phone on, hold down vol+ and vol- and plug in the usb cable, as if you were starting download mode. When you get to the warning screen, remove the cable and press the vol- button to cancel. The phone will boot into system.
There are multiple apps in the play store that turn the screen on and off. A good one is Gravity Screen - On/Off.
