Hello everyone!
First of: I'm not sure if this is the right section, if not move.
Second of: thanks for the help you give, hope you can help me too.
I got a problem with my S3.
I was running Cyano10 Nighty (not the last one, i just update once a week) and in the last days my phone started to reboot randomly once in a while.
Today my phone start to reboot again, but it get stucked at the SG3 logo. I coudn't turn it off so i unpluged the battery. I tryed to reboot it again and nothing heppened, still stucked at the logo.
I tryed to run into CWM and then apply a recovery but I wasn't able to go into CWM. I can only make the phone run into Download mode.
I tryed to run Odin and apply some random firmware just to see if it woud work but when i plug in my S3 in donwload mode odin couldn't see it (and the whole Pc couldn't see it too).
I tryed to install kies first to get the driver, it didn't work.
I installed the S3 Toolkit and then installed the driver from here, it didn't worked.
so i'm asking: What can i do? I don't know if the phone must be functional while trying to install the drivers. Whereas i can find another S3 and finish the driver's installation, but then will Odin work?
Any suggestion is appreciate, Thanks for the help!
EDIT: I've noticed that when i put the phone on charge on screen appear a stuck battery logo, it doesn't get green and the grey spin doesn't spin.
Also in donwload mode i read this: (not sure if this can help)
Product name:
Custom binary download: No
Current binary: Samsung official
System status: Custom
Does this mean 100% no warranty?

I've seen Product name being empty before... I think it was something to do with a bad flash.
And, I'm assuming you used TA... but there's probably no warranty seeing the product name is wiped and it's "custom".

What do you mean with TA?
I've flashed the CM10Nighty trought CWM, but i was using it since a long time.
The phone was correctly working and then i found it stucked on logo. No flash between the "working phase" and the "stucked on logo phase".
It was working and then stuck, but i didn't do nothing in between.

What happens when you try to boot into CWM?
Looks like you may have a corrupted NAND and need a new motherboard.
Only way to know, is if you try to flash it in Odin you'll get a PIT error.
If that's the case, then they should fix it under warranty

I can't use Odin cause when i plugin the phone (in download mode) Odin and the whole PC can't see it. I have win8, i don't know if that's a problem for Odin or something.
Is there a way to check if i have driver/odin/any working without using the phone?

Hi,
I have a samsung galaxy player 5 international version (YP-G70CW). I wanted to upgrade to Gingerbread, but my attempt failed.
I put it into download mode and started up odin, trying to flash this kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1414565
It got stuck on "Setup connection...". I now realize it was probably because I didn't shut down the kies process running in the background (which really should be included in the guides).
nyway I tried it a few times more, but then gave up and held down the power button to exit download mode. I'm now stuck in this mode only showing a "Phone ! computer" image every time I try to restart the device, and I cannot get it back into download mode. Odin recognises the device and I didn't really flash anything onto it so I would think it would still be good?
I read somewhere else that to fix it you should take out your battery and sim card for a while and try again. The Player 5 cannot easily be opened to get to the battery though, so is there another way to get out of this mode?
I've tried looking for an answer but come short. Would really appreciate some help.
Thanks

If you flash a gingerbread kernel( I think rj's is gingerbread only?), I do not think it will boot a froyo rom. I would suggest that you flash one of the INTL ROM's(or mine) along with rj's kernel.
Haha I feel stupid But great answer. Thank you!
Yea I was going to flash your ROM, but it said in your guide as the first step to flash that kernel first. Gonna try it now.

1st details about my i9100
Rom: pilotx rom jb 2.3 ,works like 3 weeks.
Lately I had a lot of screen freezes and stucks.
So I just wanted to backup the system before I flash a new rom
Entered to rom manager pro and click backup.
That's it my phone try to restart himself and what's comes it just a weird flickering lights on the screen.
What did I try:
Hard reset with long press home+power= try to restart- this time Samsung logo shows at first and after same weird flickering lights
Recovery= can't access
Download mode= ok
Also try 2 take out the battery for 5 minutes= nothing!!
Have to bold that I have this brick bug so...
Thanks for all of you...

Do you know for sure that you have the insane chip (it's a piece of HW) ?
Try to get in touch with mobile through Odin PC before you begin to cry
If success getting access through Odin, then try to flash a stock 4.0.3 firmware.
If you still can't flash it properly AND you indeed have the eMMC bug ... you might still be able to flash stock 4.0.3 firmware at the cost of some lost SD memory (search XDA ...)
Odin doesn't recognize my device, so I am afraid that I have this brick bug...
So how exactly I going to flash the stock rom

If you can get into Download Mode then:
- Disconnect phones USB cable
- Kill any KIES process
- Start Odin
- Restart phone and go into Download Mode
- Connect cable
- Wait a minutes until Odin show it is connected
- Flash away
On XDA there is a lot of guides showing how to do this
This one might help you Fix an unflashable or soft bricked GSII :good:
It's NAND rw corruption, you don't have a kernel what can perform read/write action, you have formatted /system. Find Phistachio guide how to recover your phone. Good luck.
P.S. I've got same trouble :'(

AFAIK you cant use Rom Manager on our GS2 so sounds like you tried to flash a kernel via it first and now system wont boot.
Just simply go into download mode and flash latest Siyah kernel and it should boot after that.

Hi.
Please read all of what I tried before suggesting something.
I have a S3 GT-I9300 international version. It's from Orange Israel and its warranty recently ended.
All of what I tried below has been done with the phone in the Download mode by turning it while holding the power, volume down and the home key, there is absolutely nothing else this phone can do, if I just normally power it on it'll get stuck on the Samsung Galaxy S3 screen, I can't even get to the animated Samsung logo. Kies is uninstalled completely and I have no AV.
Now here is what I tried so far:
1. Most forums said that I could try a regular flash via Odin by inserting the firmware.md5 file into the PDA section and flashing it, but that just makes Odin get stuck on the process (Setup Connection...) or give me this error [1st screenshot from the left]
2. I also tried attaching the .pit file for my 16GB S3 named (GT-I9300_mx_20120220.pit) alone but that makes Odin get stuck on this process as well [2nd screenshot from the left]
3. I tried attaching both .md5 and .pit files at the same time but it just also gets stuck on the (Setup Connection...) forever. And when I say stuck I don't mean Odin stops responding, I mean it just hangs on that process.
4. I looked in forums even more and they suggested I try different USB ports or cables and I did, still nothing.
5. I tried different Odin versions for all of the things I already tried.
6. I tried flashing different firmware versions for all of the things I already tried.
7.1. I downloaded Heimdall Suite and I tried to use it since a guy mentioned it helped him immensely by him just installing the drivers using the "zadig.exe" file and choosing his S3 from the All Devices list and installing the driver, however I encounter something different because the program has Replace Driver option that gives me this error [3rd screenshot from the left]
7.2. I later discovered that I can install the driver anyway by clicking the arrow next to the button and choosing Install WCID driver, that worked successfully, however it hasn't solved my problem like the guy on the forum, for him, the S3 started to get recognized by Odin and it flashed his device successfully, for me, it still gave me that error.
8. After I installed the driver from Zadig I launched Heimdall Suite in hopes of finally flashing my device but it gave me this error when trying to load up the .md5.gz [4th screenshot from the left]
9. I then proceeded to add the .pit file I downloaded earlier into the Flash tab in Heimdall tool and adding the boot.img because I think that should be enough to get it going, plus I don't know what else to put. It gave me this error [5th screenshot from the left]
I'll keep updating this post when I try new stuff, however I would like you guys to suggest things I haven't tried before or supply me with files I haven't found already (.pit files, firmwares I'm not aware of, etc.). Would appreciate any little help of sorting this problem out, the warranty ended so I don't know what am I gonna do if I don't get it fixed :/
Thanks.

Yep sounds bricked. If that's the case, send for repair. Your NAND is probably borked.
Out of interest, what does all the info on the screen say in download mode?

Remove Kies = remove USB drivers Odin may not work .
PIT can kill your phone .
I don't think its SDS more like your flashing PIT has bricked the phone .

The problem with the S3 is that there really aren't many options before the last option. From what I can see, you have already tried them all.
It tells me you haven't got SDS, but we already knew you had a NAND issue, regardless of that. It was just a matter of interest.

I didn't mention that I also tried all of what I tried with Kies installed.
And it is SDS, I was just browsing through photos and the phone just locked up and restarted and couldn't get passed the GALAXY S3 flash screen, which is why I started trying all this crap, including flashing PIT. And the symptoms and behavior of the phone hasn't changed since the first time it restarted on me. So I definitely didn't change ANYTHING to the phone whatsoever.

It could be SDS. We've seen a few failures like this where download mode doesn't show SDS symptoms. It doesn't mean the result is not SDS. Its uncomfirmable.
SDS possible , Nand damaged itself possible but 90% of problems are user error .
That error is often in trying to smash their way out of trouble avoiding the simple correct method and throwing everything at the phone .Following stuff from multiple forums then asking help on XDA at the end when it is to late .
Whatever you have done in the past right or wrong does not matter it is now a service centre job .
Samsung generally offer 24 months limited warranty but would be likely to reject due to custom rom count .

My GT-I9300 international galaxy S3 decided yesterday to brick itself, all of a sudden its stuck at the boot screen (white samsung ... text).
Tried to reboot into recovery but no go, when i hold the buttons it just continues to reboot and reboot, only showing the white text.
Tried to reboot into download and that worked, i though fhew, i got a berak and not all is lost.
In download mode it says current binary Samsung official even though i rooted and changed rom...
Product name is blank, Custom bin download is no, status is custom.
Tried to recover with kies but it complains that it cannot install new firmware (after it downloads the firmware, extracts, and all instruction followed).
Tried with odin (several original roms with my region and the one from kies) but with no luck, odin complains "There is no PIT partition.".
Tried to repartition with GT-I9300_mx_20120329.pit but then it does SET pit and hangs on "Get PIT for Mapping".
Is there any chance to save my phone ? I'm getting really desperate here.
Product name blank = sds. Only samsung service Centre can repair

Hm, it worked for me once , try connecting it to odin in downlode mode and try installing cmd form there, it should work and help you get your phone back. Since original rom is not working. If that wont work then i am not sure. i need to get a better understand of what you did to it,for the phone to go into brick mode.

No offence, but it's pointless. He has no product name. He needs a replacement Motherboard. It's nothing to do with anything he did.

Uploading....Coming soon
Hello everyone this is the official odin package for the galaxy mega ATT version. With this you can get your phone back working if you get the "This phone is not running authorized software crap. " etc . Also hope it encourages more people to find a root method without the fear of having a brick. As many of you know this package was nowhere to be found so I had to bribe a Samsung employee to give it to me which means it wasn't free for me but I'm sharing it with you guys so if you send me a beer my way i'll be happy not mandatory.
This package is in multiple parts:
I527UCUBNE7
AP: Must be flashed under PDA in Odin. This is the biggest file and contains your system,recovery and kernel partition Download
BL: This is the bootloader. If you already took the update ignore this but if you want to upgrade your phone you must flash this Download
CP: This is the modem and other network related partitions. You must flash this under Phone in odin Download
CSC: This contains carrier related settings for our firmare. Flash this under CSC in odin. Download
Highly Recommended to perform a factory reset after the flashing is completed. Let me know your results
Omg !! Super thanks bro !!!! =))))))))
So good !!!!! update successfully
Thanks again !!!
so the guys that have tried this can confirm that is working!
and also liked to know how root is being dealt with

Garack has been working on it and has actually posted a file to flash in Odin I beleive. He say that if it boots up, then root should be obtainable.
Not sure anyone has tried it yet.
It is in the "root bounty for 4.4.2 update" thread

@ Sunderwear Thank you very much for the great post and instructions. I'm currently testing it out with my i527 AT&T with ODIN 3.09... will post results in a few minutes. My phone was stuck in reboot after official 4.4.2 AT&T update left it in loop mode... give me a few minuytes and I'll post my results!
Too close. I did all the steps, and indeed it passed all Odin steps (picture), but it's still stuck in loop mode. When I try to go into Recovery mode (Vol + and HOME), it will only show the blue letters on top of the screen (picture), then it reboots on its own... no fix do you know a possible fix for loop mode.
If I go to Odin mode (Vol - and HOME), this is what I got (picture)...

Has your phone been repaired.. Like a broken screen recently? And if it fails with the red letters at system upload. M. Try again with a different USB cord or port. I own a cellphone repair shop and have been using the files with no problems

Yeah, the screen was replaced a while ago. The phone went bad once it installed the 4.4.2 official update. I will try use some other usb cable. I have plenty of microusb wires. Do you think the screen has something to do with it?

Ok, I used a different port using also a brand new official/original Samsung MicroUSB cable to retest it. :crying: no work, again stuck in loop mode. Tomorrow, I will get another computer to retest this with another one. Will post the results tomorrow.
When the phone loops, I do not have any letters that appear anywhere besides the Samsung Galaxy Mega logo. it just vibrates, and then it restarts without showing any messages/letters.
You mentioned "Red letters at System Upload" is that when I hold Vol - and home? because I only get the blue letters if I do the Vol+ and home.
Thank you for your patience man. I'm sort of a noob, well, not sort of!
I haven't tried this yet...but I will back up tomorrow and report back how it goes with my unit...I still have my factory with no knox bootloader so far..and was debating if I want to even try really...

No worries. I was asking because the same happened to me with a customers phone..got screen replaced..then he took the 4.4.2 ota update..got stuck at samsung logo bootloop..i loaded the firmware like 4 times..re partition with pit file and erase all nand...I would get stuck in the same screen saying entering recovery..So it's an issue going around. Last resort would be sending it to Samsung

Yes Sunderwear that will happen because there is 3rd parties making aftermarket screens and people were buying them as replacements...If you don't have the OEM screen the driver in the firmware won't work and it will hang...I run in to something like this on a Galaxy S4 I repaired...

Sorry for the long delay. I think I found the full issue with the Samsung Glaxy Mega boot loop on 4.4.2
My phone is till not working. We own four 6.3 Megas (1 my wife, 1 daughter, 1 son, and mine).
Officially I have 2 that are not working properly and stuck on boot loop. My wife and daughter are working properly on 4.4.2 my son's now and mine are stuck in boot loop. Wife's phone has original screen and it's working properly, my daughter has a replacement screen I bought on ebay for about $160.00 on January. My son's I've replaced the screens about 3-5 times already (a ton of money wasted), and mine, recently I did replaced it on May (before the 4.4.2 update on June). Here goes the issue:
My son's phone updated today about 2 hours ago while we were visiting the AT&T store for U-Verse Quote. Did not know it updated until we got home... Sons' phone is stuck in boot loop also now!!!!!!!!!!!! What I did was I took my daughters phone apart (with expensive replacement screen and currently running 4.4.2), and installed the screen on my sons and then mine, and each phone would work flawlessly with that screen, so I took the current replacement screens I had from my phone and my son to install them on my daughter's and each one would go into boot loop.
After that, I re installed the good screen on my daughters back, and daughters work properly again. I guess the generic OEM screens from eBay I've been buying for $50 bucks are not compatible with 4.4.2 Kitkat, they are only compatible with 4.2.2 Jelly bean.
Anyone knows where I can buy original screens? I've contacted several sellers on eBay to see if the screens work on 4.4.2 because I don't want to spend more money on screens. I just got 1 from China 2 days ago, and that one also gets stuck in boot loop... so frustrated with screens. All my OT from work goes to pay for these issues... Help anyone? Anyone sells working 4.4.2 compatible screens?
Also, I will buy a broken ORIGINAL screens from ebay (like $7-$10) to test it out and verify. I will post results. Hope this experiment (and my sadness) will help you guys out if stuck in boot loop.
P.S. Oh yeah, I did do both phones on PDA, then all BL,PDA, etc... and I still get boot looped. I have to say THANK YOU to the original autheor because it does work! It's just my screens that doesn't work!!!!! HELP GUYS!!!!!:crying:
