Hi guys... I kinda boot looped my I9100 and now can enter only download mode and.nothing else works phone doesn't even boot..I tried almost every tutoriol and I keep getting stuck at Nand write operation ..only thing which successfully flashes is the bootloader alone ..even bought a new battery and tried as mine was old and still no luck ..help please ;-(
Help pretty please......
im not expert, but i think that you need to flash a rom via odin(and disable kies)....
Firstly, please make a more descriptive title. So people would know exactly what you are talking about.
Follow this tutorial.

Congrats you have flashed wrong kernal..
Now do one thing..
Go to gokhanmoral. Com
If you were running ics download 4.1.5 odin flash able tar file.. Flash throw odin.
If you were on gb download and flash 2.3.5 tar file...
If this doesnt work you need to flash stock rom via odin from sammobile.com for your country..
Make sure you have mobile version GT I9100 AND NOT GT I9100G...

Hello!
I installed CM on my Galaxy Ace, also used a kernel that allowed me to overlock the phone. So I overclocked to 940MHz from the stock 800Mhz.. all was working fine, untill this morning. I woke up and the phone was turned off. I thought my battery has discharged during the night, so I put the phone on charge, and trided to boot it. Samsung Galaxy Ace logo appeared, but it got stuck there... Tried to boot to recovery menu, as I always do, but it doesnt work! I thought something must went wrong so decided to reinstall new firmware through ODIN. Everything seemed to be fine - ODIN recognized the phone, so I flashed succesfully my Galaxy Ace with new firmware.. Then, when It was supposed to reboot itsef, it didnt. It got stuck on the Samsung Galaxy Ace logo, and thats all... I tried pull the battery out, to charge it even more, but nothing... Tried various firmwares, but no luck.
So, my phone will go into downlaod mode, but not to recovery mode anymore. It won't boot up, it shows only the screen with Samsung Galaxy Ace logo... nothing more.
What could have happened? What to do?
Consegregate warned against frequencies higher than 921Mhz .
The phone must've bootlooped the whole night .

Excuse me, you mean I have bricked my phone by overclocking it that high? I thought It would restart it self, or hang up at most, but It actually worked for few hours. Than it turned off by itself. So I thought flashing new firmware with odin (which actually worked) would repair the problem?
Anyone?
u can install qtadb on ur pc/laptop, run it, plug in ur ace and boot it, then look at the logcat provided by qtadb.
btw maybe u fried ur cpu afterall
You wont believe.. I was flashing 2.3.3 firmware through odin, and after a "succesfull" flashing the phone wouldnt boot up - stuck on samsung galaxy ace logo. tried many 2.3.3 firmwares.
My last try was installing 2.3.4 firmware - it booted...
solved...
What does it mean when my samsung has has no network coverage? In phone info there is "|unknown|" @ baseband.

reflash modem via odin.
That was because you flashed a one package firmware and it didn't reformat the data partition to rfs, so it didn't boot.
And about the overnight mystery brick it shouldn't be happening. You need to check your bedroom for demons.
Hey everyone,
I figured out that I lost my EFS folder.. no imei....
Is there any chance to get it back? Do i have to visit a samsung centre for repair?
It seems as if someone took your phone at night and then bricked it.

Lmfao for demons? But who knows, isn't it possible that the phone had a process crash or something and rebooted and got stuck there? I know because that happens on my Ace sometimes. The rebooting I mean. It reboots by itself while I'm using it but that's about it and then it goes back to normal.
Okay guys,
but what to do now, when I don't have my IMEI (= I cant use my phone to call).. ?

Send it to Samsung for repair
Do you think wouldn't be it faster to show the phone to a "non-official-gsm-point"? There are many places where they sell/buy/repair phones. I know they will charge me (but not as much as samsung care for sure) and there is possibility to get the phone repaired on the moment.
sorry for posting in this thread.......

ps: act like fool and tell them u have sudden Death and u didnt play with anything (dont mention ur flash custom rom/firmware ....it will cancel ur warranty)
sry for lose man , u not the only one ... i cant even replace it with warranty due to bought from another country
good luck

Do you know where I could find instructions on how to flash a PIT?
this is file come from sammobile.com website
providing u the right PIT file with flasher
http://www.mediafire.com/?ddfpfkk2pb8326k
connect ur mobile , open odin program and then press on PIT button and navigate PIT files then (as i think) choose the latest PIT file with name i9300 (ur mobile Model) and latest date and then hit start ..... good luck but i recommend u send it to ur Samsung repair center if warranty cover
good luck
stop!
before messing with pit files, which is extremely dangerous, flash a stock ROM through Odin and then do a factory reset from recovery

Exactly this^^^^....pit file flashing is an absolute last resort, not a first solution
did you tried flashing 4.0.4 stock rom with odin?
same thing happened to me 2 weeks ago, flashing 4.0.4 and after that flashing 4.1.2 fixed it.
try to do not mess with pit especially if you didn't backup your efs folder. it is not needed.

I've already tried to flash a stock firmware, but I still couldn't get it into recovery. I'm not sure if it was the right one though. I have a regular unbranded SIII, is there a specific firmware I should flash?

okay? the first thing to do here is just flash a stock ROM, no need for pit files
Mine was stuck before than samsung logo, on the model number screen. Almost 1 second or less after opening the device.
Then i flashed 4.0.4 and magically it opened without any loop or something. Its useless to flash 4.1.2 or any other jb stock rom, for some reason it seems not fixing the loop issue.
Again, there is no problem related with pit files.

It's all individual, what worked for you might not work for others. Don't say that flashing JB is useless, because it's not
I flashed stock 4.0.4 firmware through odin. The operation was successful, but I was still unable to enter recovery. What am I doing wrong?

Follow the steps to root and flash your custom ROM again as if you just got your phone. The same thing happened to my T999, and it took me 3 tries doing this to finally get back into Recovery.
try to flash in odin stock rom then root use cwm then try to go to recovery..
My cousin's having the same exact issue and we've been unable to find the proper rom. Can anyone please tell me where to get one? I've downloaded some "international" ones but when i try to upload it it keeps telling me failed, i've tried at least 4 or 5 different roms.
ANY help would be greatly appreciated!!
Phone is:
GT-i9300
using it in the US with StraightTalk in the US (been working like a charm for ~6 months, all of a suddent when into this weird limp mode)
Phone was running jellybean 4.1.1 (through kies) and not rooted
Try several times before giving up. Sometimes it works after when the device feels that you've had enough stress and fear.
I mean the problem is common but it's solved in different ways or different repeats.
But it seems that your problem is a software problem that can be solved.

Maybe the re-partition is the issue but I got no experience in that area.
Yep probably another one broke the PIT ..
requires a service centre or flashing firmware like .

Hello,
I'm having a strange problem since I'd flashed Cyanogenmod 10.2 on my device. I was running smooth for couple of days and then suddenly it restarted and stuck on Samsung bootlogo. Whenever I'd tried to power on it was stuck there. Then I tried odin flash stock latest NG3 rom and the phone asked for pit. After this it's not working anymore except the Download mode. It shows on odin but when I try flashing anything it fails all the time. Please if anybody can help me on this :crying:
I had never have a problem of this kind while flashing other devices hundreds of times but this one.

@mistermish2000, I'm not a pro but I believe that your partition is corrupted.
If you flashed with PIT selected then you can try to use a recovery firmware for your device from XDA. That would be a last resort though.
thanks RazorMC. I tried with stockrecovery file with no luck, but can u suggest any recovery firmware for the I9300 version please. I'm also looking but if u know any that worked before please suggest. thanks again

No this is a sign of complete eMMC failure see this post >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/help/problem-white-screen-black-lines-rain-t2467459 << I have never seen anyone recover from this and I have seen quite a few posts with the same problem. Service repair recommended :crying:
Try reading the 'dead boot repair solution' thread in general forum, a repair shop with a z3x box will be able to tell you if the emmc is totally fried.
