Just got my new samsung galaxy s3 yesterday and I have kies installed, usb drivers installed.. trying to install/flash CWM with odin.. think im doing everything right and by the book, following the instructions.. but thats the error it gives me.. anyone here that can help me troubleshoot?

While flashing using Odin, make sure kies is not running.

Kies shouldn't run even in back ground. Are you sure your phone is in download mode and not in recovery mode?

Rooting woes

So, I was attempting to root my Sprint Galaxy s3, using the CF-root 6.3 via Odin v1.85. All was going well, then just before the big finale, Odin crashes. Now my firmware is messed up on my new phone. I can get back into Downloading... mode, but if I try to re-flash with cf-root, I get this in Odin:
<ID:0/006> File analysis..
<ID:0/006> SetupConnection..
<ID:0/006> Initialzation..
<ID:0/006> Get PIT for mapping..
<ID:0/006> Firmware update start..
<ID:0/006> recovery.img
<ID:0/006> NAND Write Start!!
<ID:0/006> cache.img
<ID:0/006>
<ID:0/006> Complete(Write) operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
And this on the phone:
Unsupport dev_type.
And when I reboot:
Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.
Is my phone bricked? How can I undo this?
Thanks.
If this is in the wrong section, I apologize.
Did you try root your US sprint s3 with a method for the international s3?
If so then search because someone made that same mistake last night.
In future don't flash anything for the inter national version on your American version.

I seem to have fixed it. Used Odin to install the clockwork mod, and the phone boots up normally now. Close call.

Please help

Hello everyone.. I am trying to go back to TWRP 2.5.0.2 however odin keeps failing on me when it goes to Auth. any ideas as to why I am getting tired of the freezing in 2.6. I tried a zip that was supose to be able to flash recovery and now i get unauthorized software yellow triangle..phone still boots though. Oh and I cannot get ADB to work either says no devices..i do have the Samsung USB drivers installed
Are you on mdk or me7 or MI1? You can only use twrp if you are on mdk.
Flashable zip of 2.5.0.2 if you are on mdk. https://db.tt/YeZ3cp4c

I am on MDK. I can no longer access Recovery because a flashable zip caused it to say unauthorized software please return to verizon

In that case sounds like you need to Odin back to stock mdk and start over. Just make sure it is mdk you are using.

Galaxy S3 stuck on boot [stock,never rooted]

hey,
so my friend brought me his S3, never rooted or tampered with. He just said the phone went into boot and never recovered. I can go in download mode but not recovery (my initial plan was to wipe cache).
he would kind of want his data intact but I don't know how viable that is by now..
Any advice?
Thank you

Try flashing a custom recovery like twrp or philz touch. But it actually sounds like a soft brick. worst case scenario you would have to flash a new firmware/

The phone's own recovery mode is not much flexible as other third-part recoveries. So I guess you have to install CWM recovery and wipe dalvik cache from there before booting. Try installing CWM recovery via Odin and then wipe dalvik cache. And don't worry, installing custom recovery won't root your phone.
If the stock recovery can, wipe the cache and dalvik cache

Try to flash PIT partition via odin( be careful you must have the PIT file sweatable for your model )

How can I know what that is? I can't boot the phone to see the exact model? Says I9300GSMH on the back behind the battery so I should assume that's accurate?

GT-i9300 Intl Soft Bricked Please Help

Hi Devs,
I am stuck in a issue. I installed cm 12.0 (unofficial rom) to my Galaxy s3 GT-i9300 everything was working fine but suddenly it keeps on crashing randomly one day while calling my phone froze. I restarted the phone it stucked on SAMSUNG BOOT SCREEN.
I can go into download mode and recovery mode, currently using PhilzTouch 6 on recovery.
Things I have tried already.
Wiped Cache Partition
Wiped Data/Factory Reset
when i try to wipe cache or factory reset i get errors
E: can't mount /data or Formatting /sdcard/.android_secure
For some reason my phones internal memory is on the read only mode i tried to flash the stock rom as well so far no luck.
I tried 4 different stock roms none of them work they all stopped on nand write or setup connection
I followed the instruction below because thats what exactly happened to my phone but no luck when ever i try to load boot files into PDA it keeps failing.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1840030
please guys i am tired and exhausted trying all different stuff guide me. I even tried PIT Files noting work. Thanks in advance
Try going back to stock/factory.
Boot in download mode (vol down+home+power).
Use Odin to flash stock recovery and firmware.
Once you are able to boot perfectly into touchwiz, can narrow down your points of failure and try again or try another ROM

Hi Blue,
Thanks for reply , so you meant to say i replace philztouch with stock recovery.
Correct me if i am wrong.
Replace philz with stock recovery and replace your rom with touchwiz. Figure out where you went wrong and then flash your custom rom again or flash a different custom rom.
Try flashing another recovery. Worked for me once
Thanks for Help
Can you send me link for GT-i9300 International Stock Recovery so i am installing exact thing it would be great help from you guys and i would really appreciate it.

saqyee, you placed the stock recovery file in the PDA section right? DO NOT TOUCH THE PIT SECTION.

Nand write fail usually means emmc corrupt/damaged you could try the rescue firmware but this looks like hardware failure.

If you have sboot.bin fail this happens when you try to downgrade. Just flash stock firmware through odin. Use odin v3.10.6. Of it sticks on Samsung logo it's normal can take up to 20 minutes for first boot

Crisscross development has stopped. I recommend CarHD rom it is the best by far.
Make sure your flashing the roms through twrp
