Hi guys
I have done my basic research on all the forum room and can't find a answer to my problem.
I have Samsung S3 , I have not rooted or flash the device , I have not install any apps for the pass 2 months , for some reason today my device restarted and then got stuck on boot screen "Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300" , am totally new to android and only had my device 9 months.
from all the basic searches I have done , I have try pressing vol key up + Home Key + power key) nothing happen
I tried : Switch off the device.
Press and hold Volume Up + Home Button + Power Key.
After 2-3 seconds, release the Power Key.
nothing happens here either this suppose to do a hard reset
I have taken the battery out , re-inserted the battery hold the power key for 10secs and I still don't get any where
each attemp I only get the boot screen the only luck I have had was by pressing the vol key down + home key + power key , i get the downloading Rom and this obviously does nothing as I can't get to the internet via wireless
please someone helpme the last person who posted this type of topic on this forum room did not get any replies.
I am sure I am not the only one who has experience this problem.
I am with three network if that makes any differents
thanks for your support.
Search 'sudden death' - you'll find more on it there
I has this problem with mine - I ended up taking it to Samsung for repair under warranty: it was a mother board replacement
it is however possible that you could fix it
Cn you get into download mode? (home + power + vol down)
if you can get to download mode ^^^ post above then all is well all you need to do is flash stock rom.
Getting into download mode is good news, Now plug your phone in to your computer, launch ODIN, and flash the correct stock firmware.
Thank you guys for your prompt reply , I have decided to take the device back to Car phone Warehouse as it is still under warrantee , I don't want to risk the manufacture guarantee. On this note I will like to salute all those geek's who have rooted their phones. :cyclops:

welcome in the emmc burned club - you are number ???
Flashing stock rom - chainfire tar - recovery tar - or whatever wont help you, i made a thread about it, no matter what you get "cant get pit" when you flash in odin
Sorry bR0 - seams like samsung made a MAJOR hardware error here - makes me thinking twice again before buying a sammy phone again, its a pitty cose it really is the nicest phone out there - maybe htc phones dont do this crap.. dont now
And since you haven't rooted or even flashed it, it proves just further that this is no "soft" problem but only faulty hardware !!!
Here is my link to tar files >http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2019902
And just so you now, flashing a rom DONT void your guarantee, in EU at least, its a proven court judgment ! > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1998801
Urgent illegal advice required on 'sudden death'
Hi all /comrades
Four days ago I decided that I had to take Samsung Galaxy S3 to Carphone warehouse for repairs as the phone was still under manufacture warrantee , I did not wanted to go via the rooted / flashing my ROM . well guess what happen.
Carphone Warehouse Engineer total me the following and I quote " Please read notes , unfortunately handset returned unrepaired due to device rooted thought custom firmware, we have provided photo evidence. this is classed as Chargeable repair , please speak to one of the sales team to verify the cost of charge if you wish to take this ."
okay the photo screen that they gave me was of the one where you hold the volume button done + Home screen + power button and you get the Android stating its downloading on the top left side system status : custom and its this point he make out to me that I try to root or have rooted my phone.
as you all know I haven't got a clue on how to root or flash a phone never mind doing it.
I need your help , I am going to take Carphone Warehouse Ltd to Small courts to claim the cost of my phone and line rental back , How do I prove to the hight court that I actually did not root my device and Carphone Warehouse was trying to claim extra cash from me.
please all techie help me.

You may reset your phone by "Firmware Upgrade And Initialization" in the "Tools" of Samsung KIES 2.5. It will download the latest firmware for you as well.

you are really not giving a lot of details here...all you are saying you tried installing a rom and then it froze halfway..
Are you rooted firstly?
If you are have you flashed CF-root kernel?
How did you try to install the rom?
More info and then more people can help you out buddy..see if you can get into recovery and restart your phone.
well... if you've tried "every" (its not like there are a lot) button combination... then just go buy a jig from ebay and force it into download mode...

Nothing from what you said would help..
He obviously flashed it with Odin, and he said he's getting a yellow triangle with a computer behind it..
From what I understood, he could get into download mode.
So just boot into download mode and flash stock ROM. That should do it.

anyone else seeing an increase in the "i bricked my phone" threads?
dont think its coincidence they are increasing after the american variants have been released. People need to check what model they have before flashing things.
OP: not saying thats what has happened to you as you dont say if you have the i9100 or not, hopefully you do.

its ok and same goes by my post as well buddy..we all been in his position one way or the other
1st - Your phone is not bricked if it show an image. Whatever image it is. The only real software way to brick your phone is to flash bad bootloader or stop a bootloader while they are being flashed. However, Bootloader are flashed first. So if your phone stoped half way, you should not have trouble too much.
Remove the battery from your phone for like a minute, then reboot your phone in download mode (vol- + home + power and when the phone light up, release power.) Then flash another rom from odin.
Also, what rom did you used ? If you flashed a rom for another phone, then you might have flashed bootloader for that phone on yours, which is bad. In this case you will surely need a JIG.
sorry im new to this whole rooting/flashing thing. i downloaded the lightning rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1095274
i have never rooted or doneanthing to my s2 before. all i did was follow the instructions on the page and thought it would be all good? it froze about a quarter of the way there in odin so i just took my phone out.
I usually find from this state I can get back to bootloader or download states
push and hold vol+ and home then power for bootloader
push and hold vol- and home then power for download
sometimes the phone can seem to freeze a little or even die (this happened to me loads on the galaxy s and once already on the s2) and removing battery sim etc or attaching the charger can jog it
however as other have said a JIG is your friend if for no other reason that even if you recover without it, custom roms up the rom count which some twitchy carriers might invalidate your warranty for, the jig will reset this
you can get them from ebay for less than £3 delivered, or there are instructions on this site for making them yourself if you are so inclined.
simply search 'galaxy s2 jig' on ebay mine was delivered today from portugal as I am way too lazy to make one and only wanted a counter reset anyway
I punched in this code: *#*#2663#*#* to update the firmware for my touch-screen and touch-key.
When I hit "Touch Key FW update" it updated really fast and everything was great!
When I hit "TSO FW update" is said "Now Updating... Warning! Do not turn off!" And it STAYED THERE FROZEN...
It said "Do not turn off!" So I left it until the battery died!
Then I plugged it in to charge it, and now the back button and menu button BOTH don't work at all! I tried two more times to "TSP FW Update" but it's totally permenantly frozen!
I tried flashing the stock firmware!
I can't get to the menu to do "factory reset!"
What do I do??
Have you tried using a USB jig and reloading firmware using Odin?

I have completely reloaded the firmware twice since then from a stock rom. I used Odin for it. My operating system works fine, generally, but the menu and back keys will not work.
But, are you saying that I can use Odin to specifically reload the TSP firmware? Because I haven't done that. If that's what you're saying, do you know where I can get TSP firmware?

Never heard of that and you dont need a uSB jig anyway as you are loading firmware ok .
I would download correct stock firmware .
Clean Slate for those that balls up the firmware .Or need to return to service or decide if its hardware/firmware problem .
Backup data first if phone is working .
Boot CWM recovery
Mounts and Storage
Format cache data system sd card .
Remove battery
Boot to download mode
Open Odin
Install correct stock firmware .
Still problems use usb jig to set rom counter to zero if rooted or custom roms used ..
Return to service centre .

Hi,
So this issue has been fixed??
Hi all. Well... It happened to me too. I followed an advice to remove 4.3 lag by updating this, and lost all touch.
The screen won't even turn on now, but I know the phone is powered up because when I plug in a usb cable I get the windows popup.
Wow this sucks so much and I'd like to ask for any advice if there's a fix for this. I'll try to check if I can enter recovery and reflash the rom, but I think all my buttons are dead.
---------- Post added at 06:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:59 PM ----------
Update: after maybe an hour it came back to life. I had good battery so I guess it was downloading/updating stuff, during which I had no control of the phone.
As far as the experience enjoyment, I give it a 2/10, would not do again.
So it was in that "Now Updating... Warning! Do not turn off!" mode for a hour and after that all was normal again? Is the wakeup problem solved with that?

Hi there pattmayne and particularly anyone still getting mileage from their GT-I9000M,
I had this issue with Galaxy S Vibrant (North America) - GT-I9000M (the M is significant). I thought I would explore the *#2663# option and hey, why not update everything while I am there. I lost the use of my Menu and Back soft buttons and no amount of flashing or factory resetting seemed to help.
I found a promising solution on an obscure board (to me : forums.whirlpool.net.au/archive/2181386) as follows :
- Run the TSP FW update,
- Although it may appear to be stuck, wait a good number of minutes to be sure it has done what it needs to do,
- Interrupt the « update » specifically by removing the battery,
- [wait a few seconds for memory to discharge],
- Insert the battery, start up again, and run the other update, TS FW,
- Voila !
In order to access the special code, I had to flash back to stock and for some reason, I decided to flash back to Froyo instead of Gingerbread. The result being that from 2.2-Froyo, the TSP FW update actually worked, so I did not have to bother with pulling the battery. I am very happy to have my phone back in one piece !
I much prefer Heimdall over Odin, however I did have to do some research to find a decent Heimdall tutorial.
You should be able to find the stock files for Froyo by searching for GT_I9000M_UGJK3_UGJK3_BMCJK3.
If you can't, ping me and I will get around to providing a full write-up on how to mod your GT-I9000M (with many thanks to those that have gone before me).
Hi, i have more or less the same problem with my Galaxy S4 GT I9505. After updating to lollipop (5.0.1) the back and menu buttons were not working anymore so i started searching for some solutions, and i saw the updating touchscreen firmware option and now the fit touch is not working anymore as the buttons. I read that making that i could have fried the LCD Touchscreen. I dont hope so, the LCD is new, I've re-flashed to 5.0.1 as a reinstall. And theres no solution. I need help, i cant afford another 65€ in other LCD

There is a 26 page long thread over on the S4 forum about exactly this problem.

It is doubtful that anybody on the S2 forum will be able to help you as anything that works for the S2 probably won't work on the S4......

ok this is shameful as my first post but well what the hey....
I purchased a samsung s2 in november, and tbh I love it to bits. last week in manchester we had a bit of a heatwave and upon getting home I put my phone on charge. after giving it a 30 min charge to sync to my computer I noticed my phone was stuck on the boot screen so I took out the battery and tried again. I did this a total of 11 times, and still stuck on the boot screen. so I went into the recovery settings and tried a soft reset, that did not work, so I did a factory reset in which it came up with could not mount E: I left it like that for an hour before taking it to the local mobile phone shop in denton named U&E connexions as I needed the phone for an emergency. two days later I get a call from the shop saying that there was nothing that they could do and for me to pick up the phone. Upon scouring the net for a solution I came across this forum and proceeded to find out about firmware flashing. so I initiated the download process on my sg2 and noticed the the binary was set to custom and that the download counter was showing the number 4. I found out that my warranty was void if the download counter shows any number, and contacted the shop who responded that there is nothing that they can do. so I purchased a mini usb jig to try and erase the download but to no avail. upon speaking with a couple of friends they said that it could possibly be a corrupt partition due to not being able to flash anything to the phone. Any help or advice would sincerely be appreciated.
I'm not experienced with this , but until some help comes I will share what I've tried .
I once messed with phone when flashing a ROM ,
so I did opened phone in download mode ( it run on download mode I don't know your phone can boot the download mode or not )
then connected to PC , ran odin , marked repartation and choosed a Pit file for my s2 ( by checking this you may wind up with bricked phone but for me it was already not working )
then I tried flashing a stock GingerBread ROM with PDA , PHONE and CSC files . aslo checked phone bootuploader update ( really Don't know why for but I checked it )
and clicked start ,it took its time , then, the mobile was back to life again .
anything you will do is on your responsibility . i just want to share what I did

ok no luck still.. I'd just like to thank everyone for their help on this issue.
Not sure if you want to try this but perhaps you can try flashing to the original stock rom first?

if it boots up you again you can use triangle away to assist resetting the counter to 0.
it seems that my phone has the emmc bug. hence as to the corrupt nand rw permissions. I've tried flashing the stock rom using odin and heimdall and still no luck.
Gonna take my phone to carphone warehouse and tell them that my phone suffered the bug after doing a soft reset followed by factory reset. hopefully they dont notice the odin download count.
well they noticed the download count. is there anyway that I can kill the phone so that it does not show the download count or anything. I might be able to get a replacement that way. :s
Absolutely not. That falls under the "don't get us (XDA) in trouble" rule here.

use USB JIG simple :fingers-crossed:
I've tried the usb jig and it will only allow me to go into download mode, but the emmc bug will not allow me to downgrade the bootloader. or do any firmware flashing other than kernal flash.
hmm.. is you able to go into recovery mode if yes them flash SiyahKernel v3.3.2 and try to do system format if no then try Ultimate Kernel Cleaning Script
good luck :fingers-crossed:
edit and if you abe to go into recovery mode then select download mode from recovery (SiyahKernel) and try to flash rom again :
Thread closed
XDA does not condone fraud, and that's what you're discussing here. No more.

It sounds like SDS to me, service is your only option.
The good news is that if you cannot get into download mode at service they can't check the binary counter.

1- Switch your phone off.
2- Press Volume Up + Home Button + Power.
3- When on, release power, but keep on Vol Up and Home.
4- Wipe factory settings.
5- Reboot.
6- Enjoy.
But keep informed, rooting your device increases the flash counter, which forces a message of having "custom" firmware, which can void your warranty.

Hi All,
I wonder if any of you is able to help me please, I promise a kind donation in case the device works again.
So here's my story I bought a 2nd hand Galaxy s6 device from a store, it worked for about 9 months then it got blocked, I returned it to the store and after lots of arguing he decided to exchange the blocked device for a similar one if I repair the screen I broke, so I paid him another £180.00 to fix both the screen and back cover.
The wanker gave me a phone which looked fresh, I put my sim inside and it worked without any issues whatsoever... for about 30 mins then the sim card was not recognised anymore !! changed sim cards and nothing happened, when I returned back to the shop the IMEI number on the receipt was not matching the IMEI number in the phone, so the prick said that I am lying to him and that this device is not the one he sold to me, without any proof of it, I am now totally screwed.
After putting the device into download mode it shows the model name as: SM-G925X
The MF gave me a LDU, but whats driving me nuts is that it worked for about 30 mins, I made calls from this LDU for less than 30 mins before it stopped reading the sim card !
Now I took it to another store, where the guy completely f it up and got it bricked and now stuck at the samsung logo.
**If anyone could help me to get this device to work again I will be so grateful to you and promise and kind donation.

I am genuinely sorry about the bad language, its just out of frustration. And thank you very much in advance.
I am no longer able to get into recovery mode, I tried flashing various firmwares by removing all the .bin files yet the device is still stuck in boot loop.
I also cant locate the S/N to use the emergency recovery function in Smart switch, last time the device was on the imei number and S/N it had, showed up as a completely different samsung device !

The person just gave you a temp efs (IMEI no) which got expired and device lost signal with the provider nevermind and where do you live please tell me(country)
I live in Scotland, UK. What's really confusing me is that it's a LDU, and I read multiple times that LDU are not full mobile phone devices they are missing an antenna or something like that. You really do sound like you know what you're talking about, thank you very much for helping me.

Do you have the tools to get inside the phone? To see if the phone has antenna?
Or dial *#0*#
On the menu press receiver.... does it make a sound?
Thanks for your quick reply Calum, no unfortunately am not able to get inside the phone, but I am certain that it does have an antenna because I made calls from it ! it seems like the phone has been bricked, because am still stuck in the bootloop and not able to start it up at all

Have a go at flashing this firmware via odin. Rumour has it that you can flash unbranded G925F firmware onto an LDU. The worse that can happen is odin will fail.
If you need instructions on how quote me and I will get the notification

Thanks mate, I have tried that in the past and it worked through odin but the phone is still stuck at the Samsung logo, I will give it a go one more time though and see what happens

Flash the firmware mate but uncheck auto reboot in odin. Once successful flash boot to recovery and wipe data and cache then reboot. Give that a try

Alright so I have given that a go, odin failed to flash the firmware, I tried a different one for th SM-G925F with only the F. Reset Time ticked and it worked, but its still not get into recovery mode, when holding the vol up, home and power it does nothing.
