Yet another galaxy s 3 bricked - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So, I have a galaxy s 3, the international gsm model. It had a jelly bean stock rom, everything working well until it suddenly went off and stuck in bootloop (with the samsung galaxy s3 - i9300 logo).
After I did some research here at XDA i noticed that i'm not the first to experience this, and so I tried the several solutions offered (that is - factory reset as explained here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30087735&postcount=6). This solution worked, it booted and it looked like i had found the solution... Until it happened again -- the bootloop. I thought it might have been a question of the wrong pit file (because in another thread one user found a solution this way thought i cant find the thread now), so I tried several pits with odin, and kept having the same error:
<ID:0/039> Odin v.3 engine (ID:39)..

<ID:0/039> Get PIT for mapping..
<ID:0/039> There is no PIT partition.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
I sent it to a local repairing service (not samsung, cause the custom binary count is set to 2 so not under warranty) and they returned it to me saying they couldn't repair it cause the "jtag is not yet supported, but might be in the near future" and that "the bootloader is broken".
It is still able to enter download mode. Any suggestions/ideas?

Hmm.
"the bootloader is broken" sounds a bit tough. :/
What caused the bootloop in the first place?
Are you sure you never used another device's PIT?
Try flashing this in odin: https://hotfile.com/dl/185684429/de93650/I9300XXELL4_KOR_MULTI_FACTORY.zip.html
I use it everytime i have a brick..
Plus any more info you have would be good. :good:

Thanks for the help, I'm downloading that right now, will post something when i try what you said.
I don't think i've used another device's PIT, but these were the ones i tried: GT-I9300_mx_20120220.pit, GT-I9300_mx_20120322.pit, GT-I9300_mx_20120329.pit, M0_20120220.pit, mx.pit. All of them I found them here at XDA.
Oh and btw, mine is a white 16gb, of that's useful.
Thanks again.

I tried your file, but odin shows the following error:

+1, If fails to access partitions when flashing, you probably have a fried emmc chip (happened to my SIII LTE and my Nexus One), a motherboard replacement is in order.

every time i try to wipe i get the same error .... will try a 1 file ROM for 4.1.2 late but i guess that it will not work and problem is bigger than that
My SGS3 failed in much the same way, would not get past the first boot screen whatever I tried. I was able to get it into download mode with a jig, but could not flash anything to it. Samsung said they would take it back for repair but that would have meant being without it for over a week. Fortunately I'd bought it from Amazon and they were happy to send a replacement with next-day delivery.

tried all PIT files for i9300 alone , with 1 file firmware and with 4 files firmware ICS and JB ,, same problem , PIT file is written succefuly but can't flash the firmware
if it's a dead end and the phone have the eMMC problem , the device is still in warranty but the counter is 3 and system is modified
is there a way to kill the device at all without being able to access the recovery or download mode so i can send it to warranty as this issue is already from samsung and not related to user

i agree with you if it was my fault and the phone damaged by me , it's already out from Samsung with this problem so we have the right to send it back to them even if we played with some costume ROMs or Root
anyway i guess erase nand flash in Odin will do the job ,, will give it a try the phone is already dead and useless and my frined lost it anyway

[Q] Samsung Galaxy SIII Soft Brick Desperate Situation

Hi There,
After using temasek's stock android rom a while without any problem my galaxy s3 won't turn on anymore. About a month ago my S3 suddenly shutted down and now I get a bootloop where I only see the samsung logo reappearing every 5 seconds. I can't go into recovery mode, only into download mode. So my phone is soft bricked i supposed.
I tried almost everything, I searched for weeks for a sollution on XDA and I didn't found anything that could help me. So now i'm asking you guys because i'm a little bit desperate and i'm using my old nokia 3310 for a couple of weeks now.
I tried to reinstall my original firmware which I downloaded on sammobile with odin but there is always some kind of error.
I tried several versions of odin (new one's, olders one's) And still no progress.
Here's the log from odin v 1.85 :

I'm sure that i used the right firmware, I've tried different pc's, i've also tried differend firmwares... Always a damn error in odin...

[Q] SG3 does not boot or recover, but I can go into download mode

I rooted my international SG3 over a year ago. I originally used it on vodafone in Germany, but I was using it on T-mobile in the USA now. It was working fine, until one morning while it just showed the "Samsung" boot logo, and wouldn't go any further. I took out the battery and tried rebooting it, but it never gets past the Samsung logo. I tried putting it into recovery mode, and the same thing. I am able to get to the download mode.
I tried using the same method I used to root the phone originally and Odin is telling me the pit file is missing or inaccessible. I didn't mess with the pit file when I rooted it originally. Do I need to put a new .pit file with Odin? I'm hesitant to do that without knowing what I am doing, however right now I have a non-functioning phone, so I don't have anything to lose, but I wanted some more expert advice before I try that.

You have to flash a full stock firmware with the pit, best use the rescue firmware thread in general forum.
