[Q] [ CF-Auto-Root v1.0 Stuck while flashing - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone I'm freaking out this is the second time i root my device s3 international the first one was with CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4 but after i installed the official jb for the uk i decided to root with Chainfire new root CF-Auto-Root v1.0 and now odin is stuck at just after i pressed start this is what it says in the message box:

It's been like that for at least 15 minutes now I'm not sure what to do if it's safe to disconnect the phone or what.
Please help me

This is the exact same scenario as what I've had the last week. I just pulled my battery and USB cable and everything was fine. However do not try flashing a PIT file, as the problem suggests. I tried it and bricked my phone. I never found a fix for the mapping problem, my phone is off to warranty now.

Well, mine was very fast, a few seconds, nothing even close to 15mins so something went wrong for sure. The good part is that you'll probably won't have an issue to disconnect that and try again. Not sure how this works, but it probably doesn't mess with the bootloader. In that case you'll always have download mode and therefore can always try again.
Odin has hanged for me before (with my S1). Usually changing the USB port or/and rebooting computer and phone does the trick (provived you had everything working before and just hanged now for no apparent reason).

PIT means Partition Information Table.
If you even try flashing that, you will brick your phone.

The other thing I found is that if I plug the usb in the front of pc while I'm on Skype with a usb mic also plugged in to the front of pc the same thing happens so it's like there is not enough power so try using a different usb port also unplug other usb things while u flash. Hope that sorts it for u bud

After reading up on this it would appear that because it's locked onto the three network, I can't root it. Is this true?

Is Kies completely shut down on your pc ? I read somewhere that it can cause conflicts when trying to use odin

I read it too so I uninstalled. I then downloaded the drivers only.

Warning sign and stuck at i9100 boot screen after flashing kernel

Help! I flashes Siyah's kernel on my S2 (it was on stock 2.3.3) and now it won't boot and all I get is the i9100 logo and a yellow triangle with a warning sign. I have searched the forums and googled but can't find anything on this :/ I'm not sure if this is the "yellow triangle" most people seem to be talking about as I can't really do anything to "remove" it as they suggest.

I'm assuming you picked up the latest siyah version. Its for ICS not GB.
Download the file from Jokesy's post here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=32689470
Siyah for gingerbread and install it via Odin.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Ah, Jesus. I'm such an idiot!. After reading the forums for hours making sure I wasn't gonna make a mistake I ended up flashing an ICS kernel on a GB rom.
Anyway, I did it but it is still stock at boot :s What do I do? Should I flash a stock unbranded ICS rom? I mean, those come with a kernel, right?
Flashing siyah through odin didnt work? Then you might want to install a new stock firmware. Download one from sammobile.com and install again via Odin the same way you installed siyah. GB or ICS (4.0.3 only to avoid risk of the emmc bug) and then try again.
It does come with the stock kernel.
The thread link I provided talks about a similar problem. Reading that might help too.
Good luck
EDIT: if youre unsure about your correct formware. this link will provide you the ICS firmware for most regions. Pick the one matching region if possible. Best signal reception and all that. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=23562857

Sorry. Kinda busy atm so this thread slipped my mind.
Which version of Odin are you using? Some report problems with 3.4.. use 1.85 if you can.
Ensure your phone has sufficient charge
Do you have your phone drivers installed? They should be.
Is KIES running in the background? Kill it. KIES is known to interfere with Odin.

I tried with both 3.4 and 1.83 from the recovery package.
I don't know if I can charge it as when I plug it it displays the same "firmware upgrade encountered an issue" message and I am unsure weather it is charging or not. Anyway, I charged it to 100% before all this madness began.
I uninstalled KIES before trying all of this.
pd: no problem man, I'm not complaining to your or anyone, it's just I got really nervous and don't know what to do. Plus the phone is out of warranty.
GOT IT.
Problem: I was not pluging the phone DIRECTLY to a USB port (AND ODIN DEMANDS YOU TO PLUG THE PHONE DIRECTLY TO A USB PORT, SO DON'T USE HUBS, PCI CARDS OR WHATEVER). My computer's usb ports stopped working months ago so I bought a PCI-to-USB card to have USB ports.
Solution: After hours of googling I came across this XDA thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26748860&postcount=2
As you can see, he mentions what I said about ODIN (I learned it from him/her).
So the solution is to use ODIN with the mobile phone connected directly to the usb port
And to fix my problem: I just used the recovery package from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1457458
which worked beautifully.
You wouldn't believe I just came back online to pm you to do just that...the USB bit. And to confirm you have an i9100 and not the G variant.
Anwyays glad it worked out fine mate. Sorry I couldn't be of much help. Good to hear you're sorted now. Enjoy the ICS/ JB goodness.
Cheers
Edit.Do remember to make all the necessary backups though. EFS, Nand et al.

[Q] Hard Bricked Verizon i605 Note 2

Hey All,
I definitely hard bricked my phone, I've tried everything on XDA, every Odin, every stock and rooted rom in combination with different Pit's, baselines etc.. etc..
Not sure if I am rooted anymore or unrooted since I have installed so many Rom's.. My screen gets stuck on Samsung Logo, I can only get into Download Mode (Odin Mode) and I am sure of that.
I started off trying to install a custom rom, things went bad, after it all went bad i realized my mistakes reading, upon reading XDA.
My question for all you wonderful people on XDA is.. what do i do now with a paper weight? Do i keep trying and Beat it till it works, or replace the motherboard? & if i replace the mobo can i simply get an AT&T Mobo on this Verizon? (I have at&t, its an unlocked Verizon phone).. & where do I go to do it? (cheapest place please, totally not rich)
more info:
can't partition in odin/ i always encounter some sort of error in the middle of trying to do anything with odin.. I am only successful when i install the 66root file, and if I select the 'T Flash' option in odin it sometimes works with other roms.. but no matter what I still get stuck on the Logo Screen
list of what i have tried:

If you can still access Download Mode then you arent truly hard bricked.
If you havent tried it you need to try flashing the PIT file. There is also the "alternative recovery method" that you should try. I think flashing the PIT file, which I believe is in one of Adams casual posts, will get you back on track but I might be wrong. Hopefully someone else will stroll through and be abke to give you a bit more help than me.
As for the first 2 urls, NEVER EVER EVER use root methods that are not on XDA. Not many people have experience with them and they could be potentially dangerous.
You also need to specify exactly what all you have tried out of those threads instead of just linking the thread.

If the PIT and alternate recovery method don't work or wouldn't hurt to try it on a different computer as barrackOBAMA suggests. If that doesn't work we can always try something else. The most important thing is to stay calm. These phones are incredibly hard to hard brick, and as long as you can get into Download Mode it can usually be fixed. It might be a long process but it'll be free where if you bought a motherboard it would cost you more money.

Lemme ask you this, do you have Kies installed? My friend had the same issue with his N2 where it would freeze in Odin and do nothing else at all after it said getting PIT for mapping. He finally had to bring it over to me and use my computer to root it, his is the AT&T version, and even though he had Kies installed he couldn't get the phone to connect right. He finally had to install Kies and all the drivers and them reinstall Kies first then the standalone drivers that were linked and after that everything worked. That may be worth a shot. I also know a lot of people have issues using VM machines and Windows 8, it seems everything works smoothest on Windows 7.
As for boring the emmc, you may have but like I said earlier it's really hard to screw this phone up so I really think it is just an issue with VM ware or possibly you haven't flashed the right file that it needs yet. We'll figure it out though hopefully, it will just take some trial and error.
Have you tried the alternate restore method? If not I will link it, it seems to fix a lot of people's phones when nothing else will.
Honestly I think it is something with the computers you're using and the drivers being wonky as usual.

Hey Shangrila, appreciate you helping me, I am going to try and completely uninstall all drivers for Samsung, uninstall kies, install drivers and test, if it doesn't work, re-install kies and drivers. I have tried to restore with and without kies, and all over again. I will try again but this time i will completely wipe all drivers and re-install note 2 drivers
May I ask what the first step that you did was that bricked it? You are stuck on the samsung logo flashing?

It started with a trade on craigslist. Traded my at&t iPhin 5 (i love you man insider) for this Verizon sch-i605 unlocked. I had no idea if it were able to accept custom roms or not, but i do know it was rooted (used supersu) i am a highly tech savvy guy but i don't know **** about android. I did a factory restore from setting, I then tried to install casual, downloaded it and ran it but it kept erroring so i then went and tried to upload a mod on sdcard and went to recovery mode wipe device and cache.. after that it stopped working. tried to install all sorts of roms, boot loaders, pits and what not. now all i get is error after error, either nand error or getting pit mapping halt. for some reason root66 is the only rom that is successfull but without pit file. and not sure what "T Flash" is on Odin, but some roms work while that is checked.
some roms i have tried:

Hey Shangrila, appreciate you helping me, I am going to try and completely uninstall all drivers for Samsung, uninstall kies, install drivers and test, if it doesn't work, re-install kies and drivers. I have tried to restore with and without kies, and all over again. I will try again but this time i will completely wipe all drivers and re-install note 2 drivers

If I can help I most definitely will. This sounds exactly like a driver issue thoug because it isnt able to communicate with the phone yo get the PIT for mapping. That was the same exact thing that happened with my friends phone on his laptop when I was setting everything up and showing him how to use Odin to root his phone, it would show up on a port and act like it would work but it would freeze every single damn time on the getting PIT for mapping part and wouldn't do anything else until I unplugged the phone and then it would say failed.
The main thing that helped him was wiping the drivers completely though and then just reinstalling Kies, I think he installed the other drivers after that but i can remember for sure, and it finally worked perfectly. I only have Kies on my laptop, I dont have the second set of drivers, but if you cant get it to work with just Kies try installing the other set and then test it again. You may even have to launch Kies for it to install the drivers correctly, it's been so long I can't remember that part either. Just install Kies first without the other set of drivers, launch Kies and make sure everything is set up with Kies, and see if that works. If not then install the 2nd set and try to use Odin again.
Also what OS are you doing all this on? If it's Windows 7 then it may take a little playing with the drivers to get it right. Also which version of Odin are you using? I cant get the newest version to work correctly on my laptop so that could also be part of it. Have you tried the alternative restore method? While I am 99% site it is the drivers it is always best to cover all bases.

It started with a trade on craigslist. Traded my at&t iPhin 5 (i love you man insider) for this Verizon sch-i605 unlocked. I had no idea if it were able to accept custom roms or not, but i do know it was rooted (used supersu) i am a highly tech savvy guy but i don't know **** about android. I did a factory restore from setting, I then tried to install casual, downloaded it and ran it but it kept erroring so i then went and tried to upload a mod on sdcard and went to recovery mode wipe device and cache.. after that it stopped working. tried to install all sorts of roms, boot loaders, pits and what not. now all i get is error after error, either nand error or getting pit mapping halt. for some reason root66 is the only rom that is successfull but without pit file. and not sure what "T Flash" is on Odin, but some roms work while that is checked.
some roms i have tried:
CI605_I605VRLJB_I605VRALJB_CL414933_HWID04_HW_Rev0406_low_ship_user.tar.md5
I605_VRALJB_Restore.tar.md5

Watch what you check in Odin. You are ONLY supposed to check what is told in the guide, NONE OTHER! Thats a really good way to mess things up and make it harder to fix!
Can you boot into recovery? If so is there a nandroid you could try restoring?

Also this is the alternative method I was talking about:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2040264
In the first post there is a link that says alternative restore, it has a different sboot so it will leave you unlocked. It works a lot when the PIT doesnt, its worth a shot. I still think its drivers but im throwing everything I can out so maybe you'll be able to use your phone, I know how it is to not have one to use until you can fix yours.

What OS are you using? Are you using VMware right now? It still sounds like a driver issue, is there any chance you have a different computer with Windows 7 installed that you could try if the alternative restore method I linked a minute ago doesn't work?

rootdelavegajfltevzw
exact file in the zip is VRUDMI1_Root_de_la_vega_jfltevzw.tar.md5
You can see it in the log.
You know, it's my wife's phone. I was going to root it last night but waited. Maybe it updated from MI1 and I didn't check again. God I hope not. If that's the case, should it be fixable when the next root comes out??? Or could it be fixable now???

Go ahead and try the no wipe factory mi1 from the thread I posted.
If it fails you might have had a phone on mj7.
There is no data wipe for that as well. just a different thread in Android dev.
Is the phone soft bricked?

There is a root method already out there, but some people suspect it has embedded malware, but it's not confirmed. A lot of people have used it without issue.

I don't trust it either. There are already devs working on pulling it apart to get to the bottom of it, so I'm sure we'll get an answer soon on the matter.

this is why you always check BEFORE attempting root, no matter what even if someone tells me they didn't update their phone or their phone is running blah blah, i always double check because you can never be too safe

Is this a method separate from the one allowing you to maintain root through the MJ7 update? Is it allowing people to root after taking the update without root?

I would say you could send me your phone and I could do the unbrick method for you. But I would feel terrible if I messed it up. It does work though. but i also have jewlers tools and all that jazz. Get it jtagged and be done.
I say it's fixable stop giving him a heart attack...
Odin a 4.1.2 stock rom on there with a .pit
Like the one you asked about before lol
Dude the guy that made the unbricker made it cause he did the same thing... it's not fixable without jtag or unbrick

Lacoursiere18 knows his stuff well. He suggested what I thought would fix it.
Previously last week Corean0213 had similar problem and got it fixed. My apologies I didn't see/overlooked he flashed GT-N7100 firmware on a SCH-1605 this week. Thinking he still didn't do the 4.3 OTA stock firmware I thought he could re flash with Odin. But guess he made a bigger boo boo then expected with wrong device firmware. uch:

Thanks.. I think the problem might be if that bootloader he flashed is locked down.. If it is then I don't think odin can write over it..
I wouldn't say jtag would not work. Best thing to do is call Josh over at mobile tech videos and he'll let you know..He is reasonable and a nice guy, he won't steer you wrong..

Jtag will work. They would have to do the downgrade method where they remove the emmc Chip and flash it. Then proceed as normal

I shouldn't even of bothered but flashed a bootloader that was linked to me. Apparently the wrong one it's a n7100 and I have a i605. I've been told it's not locked and posted several times in the DN3 thread. What can I do?
