yes it thought so. im trying to repartition the pit but it too so longg.. seems not working

Try flashing a 3 part stock ics Rom with pit file, let me know if this works please

Had the same problem tried everything posted in here and could't recover it now waiting on warranty replacement, seems this is way more common than I thought.

Yes sorry - but pit error problem is related to faulty nand/emmc :crying:
re flashing dont make any difference at all

i sent my SGS3 to the Samsung Service Center. they tried to flash it but no luck so they asked me to leave the unit and replace the mainboard... waiting for it..
ive tried all pit, repartition, etc2.. i gave up

It seems I am not the only one....
Except take it to the health center (Samsung service center), does anyone have luck to fix it by Odin?! becuase I was using custom rom. I just think the Samsung might do the warranty recover with charges, which I don't really want to pay.. many thanks guys.

[Q] Firmware Update Failure and ODIN unable to flash

Evening All,
This is most definitely a cry for help from someone not new to Flashing Phones. I have been flash ROMS sicne the days of my HTC Desire. I have never encountered an issue up until recently.
My S3 was running perfectly fine on Android Revolution 16.5. I generally always charge my phone at work and at home so I always have it on. Last night my battery died as I left my charger at my girlfriends. After popping around and picking it back up I charged my phone. It booted up to give me a System UID's inconsistent error for no reason.
I did some searching around and attempted to rectify this matter with the various Factory Resets, Fix Permissions etc. and as far as I got was that I would get to the Samsung Logo and then it would hang.
After much dicking around with ARHD I decided to flash Stock Firmware from Sammfirmware.com. I did this using the Unbranded Firmware and going back to what my Galaxy S3 started with.
GT-I9300_BTU_I9300XXALF2_I9300OXAALF2_I9300XXLF2.tar.md5
This worked and I got safely back into my phone albeit with no signal/mobile network. I looked around and thought because my carrier is O2 I'll flash the O2 firmware. This didn't work so I went back to flashing the unbranded firmware again where I was on before I got this in ODIN:
<OSM> GT-I9300_BTU_I9300XXALF2_I9300OXAALF2_I9300XXLF2.tar.md5 is valid.

I now an issue because bootup is stating my firmware upgrade has failed, and now ODIN refuses to reflash the MD5 file again. I just keep getting the same failure message. I am able to reboot into Download Mode and that is it.
Is anyone able to offer me any kind of assistance please?

[Q] Need help with a bad flash

Ok so by daughter let her boyfriend try to root her phone well this guy messed her phone all up he flashed a sprint image onto a verizon phone.
So it's not fully bricked yet I was able to use this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2024207 and put verizon image back onto the phone after about 58 times I used Root66 stock VRALJB 4.1.1 12/2/12 it boots but it seems the radio is still messed up it has a big circle with a line threw it where the signal bar would be and there is no info Min,PRL,network. if I try and flash I605_VRALJB_Restore.tar.md5
if fails at radio if i try and flash sch-i605-16gb.pit it fails. If I try and do this it fails do to the pit http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2272066. and throws up a error about catch and dev catch. this is all new to me but with all the helpful post on xda it's gotten
me this far. so Is there any way to fix this phone or is it shot
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35833930
There is a thread with all the vzw modems, but I can't find it right now . The third post in this thread has a section titled add ons and it has the most current vzw modem. Try flashing that in recovery and see if you get a signal
thanks that helped now to figure out how to fix the pit

In the first linked thread you posted, in section 1b use the Root66 and the pit file. That should work
And just a side note, only use files and info for the vzw sch-i605. Do not try anything from a different carrier's version of the note2. Nothing good will come of it
Ok this is what happens when i try and flash the pit sch-i605-16gb.pit from the above post

Are you using the Root66 and pit file at the same time in Odin? If you are just using the pit file, use both and see what happens

like Boosted was asking any hope for me or is this a waste of my time I'm a big noob with all this I know how to read and that's what has got me this far and the help of Boosted. but no matter what i do the pit fails and it fails at radio in the flash and at this moment it says baseband version unkown and still shows no network even after flashing the modem and it says it took it

I guess the better question is since it is your daughter's phone, you did get insurance on it, right? If so, get a hammer and beat the hell out of it to take out your frustration about the boyfriend. Then call verizon and say you need a new phone because your daughter says she "dropped her phone." Pay the deductible and call it done
Well that's why I'm here or i would have took a sledge hammer to it but I got the phone from a friend. so if i cant fix it I'm sol

Quite a few years ago I got a phone from a friend and I called and they let me add insurance to it. I broke it like 3 months later and got a replacement. It can't hurt to call and find out

Ok called them they will not do anything not there phone so they will not cover it at all so guess it's trash unless someone has anymore ideas

ok thanks for all the help
Yep, he really fubar'd it. He must have flashed both Sprint rom + Sprint radio. People often flash roms built for other carriers with no issues, but if you flash a Sprint radio on a VZW phone, your odds of bricking increase exponentially. I would make the boyfriend buy a new phone and be done with it.

[Q] Able to Flash 'Root66' but not true Stock ROM, ODIN Fails at Modem.bin

I have searched everywhere (Not just XDA Forums) for a solution to my issue. Noe is to be found. Help me Android Geniuses, you are my only hope.
I Rooted my Verizon Note 2 LTE with Casual, and installed a sexy new ROM. I was loving it, till I realized I was no longer connected to the network. Not to worry! I had backed everything up using TWRP, so I restored the efs partition. Hmm, that didn't work.
Fast forward to me trying to flash my device back to stock, and it failing over and over (my flash count was at 18). Every time it failed in exactly the same spot: Modem.bin
Finally tried the "Root66" ROM, and it worked. However, my device is still rooted, no modem, no imei, and it still says minimum of 1 flash, and that I'm using custom ROM. Considering I have to warranty this phone, I need it back to stock for real. Can anyone help??

hey bro, have you unlocked the bootloader? if so and you're trying to go back to stock try the alternative stock odin file from imnuts.
EDITuno: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390225151984927096
theres the link to his alt restore odin package. idk if that'll help fix the modem.bin failure, but it should help someway. hope it does! if you need anymore help you can pm me if you need to.
I'm curious to what rom you flashed. Was it for a Verizon note 2? If you get no network, try flashing the modem in recovery. That should solve it
Link for modem download.

EDIT: Just realized you are making multiple threads for the same question. Sorry dude, that's my only rule. No more help. Also noticed that you flashed an international rom. Good job :thumbup: This is why you are supposed to READ before flashing
Sent From My Sticky Note, Too?
Not needed
I apoligze if it looks like I posted this question multiple times. I was told to post in a different forum, but figured more info=better.
I returned my phone to Best Buy, replacement in a few days. So thank you for all the help, next time I'll be more careful.

Hey everyone!! I just need some help with Odin. I have Odin v 3.09 installed. I tried installing a custom ROM on my Galaxy S4 SCH-I545 and screwed it up. I now need to use Odin to flash a stock ROM back on to my phone. I am really confused because Odin keeps saying:

Using big fonts doesn't help. :laugh:
You tried to flash ME7. Why? What build were you running prior to your failed flash? What did you try to flash that failed?
Probably CM, AOSP, or some other build that's never going to work..
At this point, I'd suggest installing Samsung Kies and using the emergency firmware recovery.
Then, before flashing ANYTHING ELSE. reading at least the stickies in this and the general forum.
What you did was completely avoidable.

Sorry for the big font!!! First post testing out the features.
I don't know why i was trying to flash ME7. I found it on another thread on here and a lot of people said it worked for them, not for me. I was running 4.3. I tried flashing SCH-I545_MDK_562219_Stock_Restore.tar.md5 two other unknown recoveries I found here and there.
I tried installing Kies. I got it installed and everything but my phone will not connect to Kies. I have tried multiple different downloads for drivers and the troubleshooting in Kies. It just won't work.
Any ideas??

First idea would be stop flashing random builds. You need to find out what build you are on, and flash that through Odin. Once you update to a newer build, you cannot revert back to an older build.

couldn't help yourself?? This is a $600 phone and you have to be sure what you are doing before you proceed. Not sure how to direct you from here.

Apparently, based on another thread, he's running MJ7. Hopefully flashing that will get it working.

I'm 15 as well, but I also make sure to read up on what I'm doing before I destroy my phone.

Don't want to lecture but being your age makes it doubly important to research....that's how you get to have knowledge.

SCH-I545 How can I change software? HELP

Hi Guys, I'm new on this forum but I really need someone's help.
So, Last week I've bought Samsung s4 from the internet, it turned out to be SCH-I545 Verizone with 4.4.2 android. I didn't have menu in my language (Polish) so I decided to install 5.0.1 and that was my biggest mistake. Now my phone doesn't see my SIM card from T-mobile, I don't have Polish language at all, I have lots of useless Verizone apps, and I would like to get back 4.4.2 or install custom ROM where I could find Polish language. The problem is I have no idea how to do this, because I only know how to install softwares by ODIN. I've read a lot about this and the problem is I can't install custom recovery because it says FAIL at the end, I can't root my phone and I don't know why, i've tried towelroot, kingoroot and others but they all doesnt work. Can You please tell me what should I do or give my some links with instruction because I'm helpless and please I'm layman in this topic so it must be written like for someone who is 5 years old. . . Thank You in advance, I hope there is some solution for my problem. .
Go to network mode and select global...i535 are sim free. Just change what i said.
I did it and i can phone but internet doesn't work, I still prefer to change this software for some other. Can You help me with that ?

Youve search button in samfirmware and search for i535 firmware.find the 4.4.2 firmware and download it. And search how to disable software update to remain in 4.4.2
