I have Phone -- Triangle with Excaimion Mark -- Computer
But i tried getting into download mode but somehow i can't
I was coming back from Lidroid to stock odin KB5 from whitehawkxx
Pretty sure you can plug your phone in and use ODIN.
From what I know, that's also download mode, could be wrong, because I really don't remember.

Come on someone help me..
you're saying ODIN won't detect the device while you're at that screen?
Best thing a found to get in download mode is a jig cheap to make or buy

Odin should still be able to recognize your phone with that screen
theres two types of those... exclaimion marks they're both different i know because one can odin detect it but one cannot.I'm not sure though
If you want a example of my screen go here :

Like I said, it should still recognize it no problem...do you have Odin running before you plug in the USB?
Sent from my Winning Vibrant
when u see a pc plus the phone, like 2 icons, it means the odin process was interrupted and you just need to connect usb cable and odin again
I've done it both ways......
Edit: I got in download mode just had to open odin first..... ****ing me being a noob........ I'm very tech savvy but i was just being plain stupid...... I'm sorry for the people who tried to help me...

Lol Lesson learned huh.
While flashing Odin stuck at zImage... I disconnected the phone from PC. Now i cant enter neither the DL mode, nor recovery... Important thing that the PC still see the phone when connected (Odin too (yellow indicates)). i9100g. Can someone help?
If the flash stalled is it possible you were flashing an incompatible firmware for your phone? I9100G has different firmware yo the I9100/T.
Anyway, my suggestion is if uoi definitely can't get into download mode then maybe try using a jig to force it. But I suspect that may also not work.
You say the PC picks up the phone when you connect it. Does that mean it boots up?

No, the phone doesnt boot. Maybe i used bad cable for flash process... because i used different kind of usb-cable (not samsung). Is there any solution without jig?

Cable shouldn't be a problem. I've used many different ones without problem. Were you flashing the correct file for your model?
Edit: just checked the link and it is for i9100G.

Were you using the tar version? If so where did you put it in Odin and did you tick anything else (eg bootloader)?

Yeah should have been fine then. Can't see why download mode won't work because you haven't touched the bootloader. Maybe try removing then re-inserting the battery, then use the 3 buttons for download mode.

already tried... no effect. while flashing Odin stucked at zImage. after 30 min waiting i switched off the cable. Odin showed red message (fail)
Well if all else fails, next step may be a jig. It can be a pain if you don't have one but check in the general section. There is a thread about users (including myself) who are willing to help people who urgently need to use a jig. There are heaps of countries listed so if your lucky you may find someone close by who will help.

thx, i ll wait 4 some time. mb somebody showes another way to solve this sh*t)
OP, are you plugged directly into a USB port on the PC? Not through a keyboard pass-through, or a USB hub, or something similar? I've heard of stalled flashes because the person was not plugged directly into the PC.
The other thing, is to try a different USB cable. Faulty cables can also cause stalled flashes.

**** man! Something is not right. Flashing a kernel in download mode as pda shouldn't fully brick your phone. I've had plenty of bad flashes before but download mode always works. Other than retrying for download mode or jig, I'm out of ideas.

WHAT DOES RECOVERY HAVE TO DO WITH FLASHING???
You have other posts in this thread that imply you were able to try flashing again. If that's not the case, than I misinterpreted, and sorry I tried to troubleshoot your problem and suggest a course of action.
I'm sure you're frustrated, but that is no reason to snap at people trying to help you.

Recovery mode and Download mode are not the same. Flashing can only happen in Download mode.
Phone will not boot, full brick. Anyone know how to remove the internal memory chip from the board and know of a device that can read it?
How did you manage this? A bit of information might be useful.
Thanks.

This might be helpful for taking the phone apart and working out what's what.

I would assume the chip would need some specialist equipment to read it though :/
Donate it to Adam outler for testing his unbrickable mod.
Bad luck dude.

Maybe its just dead and charging is broken? Worth trying an external charger or friends device to make sure, that really is bad luck I hope to get this phone but I wont be diving into roms until I'm sure this won't happen :/

Note + Don't blame the ROM, it is ALWAYS the USER, as it was your choice. Nobody made you try flash it!
Is your device a international I9300 or I9300T model?
What did you mean exactly "Phone will not boot", stuck at samsung logo? or phone just won't power on?
try usb jib for S3. you should be able to go to yellow download icon mode and then flash back the old stock rom again.

There was one time when I was able to get the LED on while plugged in to the PC, maybe that was it .I really hope that was it but Odin did not see it.

Stuck on Samsung Screen
Hi guys please help me. My Samsung S3 is stuck on Samsung Screen. The phone talks to Odin3.
You flashed Omega on a Sprint phone? There's your problem, lol.
Hi guys.
Tonight I did a data reset via the system settings menu within the OS so that all personal data can be wiped from the phone.
Shortly after I did this, the phone reset, then just started randomly flashing and not booting, occasionally pausing on a totally white screen.
I tried to enter into recovery mode with no luck, and had no luck with download mode either.
My USB jig worked and got me into download mode, and it now also lets me enter download mode via the 3 button method.
I figured I would just use odin to flash a new kernel/ROM, however the phone refuses to come up in odin and is no longer even recognised on my PC (unknown usb device).
I've tried installing and reinstalling drivers, different usb ports, different cable etc and nothing makes any difference.
Anyone have any clue what I can do about this?
PS. The phone was on rootbox rom (unsure of version) and I'm fairly certain it had siyah kernel.
sorry, posted in the wrong section.
please switch it over, mods
No recovery?
Sent from the little guy
What version were you running? GB, ICS or JB? Which kernel? Did you try to flash tar file? Repartition through Odin?
Sent from my digital submersible hovercraft.
It was running ICS, unsure of exact version.
And I did not try to do anything with odin as the phone is not recognised at all any more, doesn't come up in odin..
and yes, I cannot access recovery mode at all via the 3 button method
Didn't it work with the jig?
Tell us what you can do with your device right now.
Sent from the little guy
as above, I can enter download mode, but absolutely nothing else.
no boot, no recovery, phone is not recognised in odin, phone is not recognised by windows.

You get unkown device when plugged in? delete that.
Install kies.
Already installed? uninstall it.
Re install.
just figured out the problem with it not recognising it via usb, it was a dodgy USB flex that I'd installed to fix a microphone problem (which eventually turned out to not be hardware related).
just swapped back the original board and hey presto, the damn thing is recognised in windows and in odin.
thanks for the help guys
Be carefull now.

wrong post, didnt read your post properly
When I turned on my i9300 galaxy III phone last week it prompt me for an upgrade. I installed it and as soon as it booted again, every single app started to issue warnings about stopping. The phone cycles through all of these pop up warnings over and over again and never reaches the home screen.
What I have tried:
Plugged it to PC open Kies - drivers were not installed correctly, Kies didnt connect.
Ran troubleshooting (unplugged phone b4) connected phone again Kies didnt connect.
Restarted the phone in d/l mode --> wipe data/factory reset, this time the drivers were installed correctly but Kies didnt connect again.
Unplugged phone open Odin and it didnt recognize the phone either.
Tried 2 different cables switched USB ports and nothing!!
PC recognizes the phone but it wont let me see content in windows explorer.
Please help me, thanx in advance. :crying:

For ODIN to recognize the device you must first go into Download Mode and you need to shutdown the device first then do this hold home+vol down+then power button)
You don't need root to use ODIN though. If you want to revert to stock see the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646610 it's pretty straightforward anyway so i guess you won't do something unnecessary.
As you were upgrading legitimately, take it back to vendor or Samsung and get them to sort it
