Hello everyone,
I recently bought the international version GT-I9300 simlock free running android 4.1.2 build JZ054K I9300 00XXELL4 . I researched how to root my device and I successfully did so using the Samsung GS3 Toolkit v7.0 selecting the 4.1.2 build JZ054k I9300 ELLA. I then proceeded to download ROM Manager to use the application to download the stable 9.1.0 Cyanogenmod from my internal memory where I had saved the document. This is when things started going bad. I did not wipe data/factory reset the device before I started uploading the costumROM. I am now in a boot loop where I constantly see the facy boot animation of CM 9.1.0. no matter what I do. I have entered system recovery only to find that I have access only to the standard android system recovery <3e>. I tried to wipe data/factory reset and to restore my device using a stock samsung file that I reflashed using Odin 3.0.7, to no avail. Many different reflash attempt later, including the original 9.1.0. cyanogenmod file and a nightly build version 10.1, I ran out of inspiration. I would be very grateful for any suggestion to what to do. Still have access to download and recovery mode however not with ClockworkMod-Recovery.
TL;DR:
I soft bricked my I9300 as I am in a boot loop with CM 9.1.0 . Only have access to download mode and system recovery <3e>. What do?
Thanks in advance
Download stock i9300XXELLA from here http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&model=GT-I9300&pcode=BTU&os=1&type=1#firmware you will need to register to download the file
Boot into recovery and do a factory reset then boot into download mode and install via Odin,
The root using this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957273 zip is in post 3
The use this for recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1943592 instead of CWM
Thanks a lot for such a quick reply. I'm going to try it out immediately.

Hey!
I currently got CM 7 (Android 2.3.7) on my S2.
But I got some problems now, it's in boot loop, with no recovery and NO root!
I have no idea what do to now...
When I get into download mode it says the following:'
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: GT-i9100
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: NO
CURRENT BINARY: SAMSUNG OFFICIAL
So, here's the breakdown:
I got no root or recovery
I'm not experienced in S2 rooting, this phone is my friend's.
Boot loop, when I boot its still the Cyanogenmod boot logo.
Please help me!

There is a simple method of rooting using supersu and cwm files.
U can flash this files from stock recovery.
Once u install this files u will ve cwm recovery. Then factory reset n wipe cache n dalvik cache.
Your os will load out of boot loop.
Surely it will work.
Follow instructions carefully.
Just boot phone into download mode and flash Siyah kernel via odin and then you will have recovery and root, simple.
While I did find a similar posts, they were for different devices. I also tryed to search o different sites for similar problems to no avial.
What Happened: After backing up system data and app data then removing Foxhound ROM with factory reset, and installing UltimaROM i came to find that the modem did not install correctly result in no connection to my cell network. I booted into TWRP recovery to try and do a re-install of the ROM only to find that TWRP was restarting itself every 3 seconds or so. I attempted to restart the device which i found to result in a TWRP bootloop that i cannot get out of, it constantly is booting into recovery mode and i cannot get it restart the OS.
What I've tried: Since i can get into download mode i decided to attempt to re-install TWRP using Samsung Galaxy S3 Toolkit but since i do not have USB debugging on i cannot do that. I'm mainly looking for a fix before i go and claim it on the warranty saying update went bad or something. If people need more information I will try to provide it as best i can.
Summery if i confused people is that TWRP is in a bootloop, i am unable to get to the OS, but i still have download mode available.
I fixed it but not how I would have liked to. I ended up losing all data due to flashing stock ROM using ODIN. I would still much appreciate a alternative method that does not involve loss of data though just for future reference, that is if anyone knows a alternative method.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
could've tried reflashing TWRP or any other recovery through odin
I have an LG Optimus Q (LGL55c) with twrp loop. I was trying to go back to stock rom, instead I deleted all the system files in twrp when it was working...Then I rebooted back into recovery and get the loop. Does this mean I completely bricked my phone? I tried using adb, adb shell doesn't work. It does find the device. Even tried the LG update with no sucess Any ideas or suggestions?
I just read the forum title, I thought this was for the Optimus Q not the Samsung S3. Sorry mods
Temasek unofficial cm12 5.02
I was running this rom when my power button shorted and I got it replaced but then I tried to do a complete wipe and clean flash but since then it has been twrp bootlooping, tried to flash the latest recovery through Odin but still doesn't work also tried stock firmware flash but says binary not available.
This is my secondary device and I've not been in touch with Odin for a while. Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
Download latest firnware from sammobile.com and flash it with Odin, as described on sammobile: does Odin finish with '1 succeeded'?
I'm in a very similar situation, but with my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 (N7105). It's rooted, and I am, or was using TWRP 2.7.0.2. ROM is CyanogenMod 12, 5.0.2 Lollipop.
I did a factory reset from INSIDE Android, and chose to wipe internal memory. Phone did the reset and wipe, rebooted into TWRP instead of Android, and now I have TWRP boot loop.
I posted more about it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=60247503&postcount=3671
I have the Problem toooo!
What must i do Now!
with my S3 is the same!!!
For posterity:
With an old (2014?) version of TWRP and a custom ROM, I tried reverting to factory settings. That caused the phone to reboot TWRP, and the screen would flash every couple of seconds. I flashed a stock recovery image I found on Google, and when it restarted again, the wipe was completed successfully. My intention was to wipe all user data anyways so I can't say if this method might save it.
Hello.
I have a GT-i9305 andI tried the rooting by following the instructions at http://galaxys3root.com/ on my Ubuntu laptop with heimdall.
I managed to install the recovery and also flash the cwm zip. I saw som problems related to /cache/ so I wiped cache and after that I have not been able to get past boot logo. I hav ealso tried flashing a custom rom and doing a factory reset and wipe dalvik cache bu
t it did not help. I have tried Odin and flashing from a .tar.md5 file but it results in FAIL.
I can reach both download mode and recovery but that is all.
Please help, I need my phone.
did you use a i9300 method on your i9305? you've probably killed the phone.
flash a stock ROM via Odin (i9305 one) and factory reset from recovery. if that doesn't help - send it to Samsung.
And this is the i9300 section, you're in the wrong place
Thanks.
I got back to stock. I will try to use the i9305 method.
Mount /sdcard not possible
Wel, I have the same problem.
Samsung SIII International version. After installing a new rom (believe it was "jellybam-v6.1.0_i9300-STABLE.zip") but I am not sure, the phone boots only to the original logo and then the screen goes black. Nothing more.
I can get into recovery mode and download mode so I tried several recovery versions (CWM, TEAMWIN, latest ClockworModRecovery v 6.0.2.8.) and several ROM.
No mater what I install, I get the same results. Boot phone and it hangs after the standard Samsung logo.
I was able to find out "/sdcard" could not be mounted. All the recovery programs I used with the option "mount unmount" reporting the same "/sdcard could not be mount" error.
Formatting /sdcard all so won't work.
I am thinking installing a new kernel but I have some difficulties in finding witch one will work with my phone?
Any suggestions or help is really appreciated b/c I have no idea what to do next.
Samsung I9300
Win 7
Latest USB drivers from Samsung installed
No Kies installed.
Odin3_v3.07 installed.
Using Odin I flashed:
CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4.tar
recovery-cwmtouch-6.0.2.8-GTI9300.tar
recovery-stock-dlj4-GTI9300.tar
recovery-stock-blg9-GTI9300.tar
And a few more.
Due to being unable to acces the phone installing a zip file is not possible. Using "installing a rom from zip, or sdcard" from recovery is not possible.
I tried installing a file using sideload but was not succesfull. I can get the phone in receiving a file from sideload but was unable to send a file from the PC.
Thanx in advance
you have to do a factory reset after flashing a new rom
Did wipe/clear/factory set etc every time just to find the phone goes black after the Samsung logo.
One particular thing: I can see the /sdcard in some recovery programs but can't modify it.
How can I transfer a zip file using Sideload?
I can get into "download a file using Sideload" on my phone but what should I do to get a zip file transferred. Maybe then I can use "install from zip" from a recovery.
Update Problem solved (for me) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2162908
I flashed the 9305 firmware from here http://www.samfirmware.com/ in Odin then I was back to stock.
Then I rooted the phone by this instruction.

Happened to me because i tried an upgrade of a CM unofficial without update the recovery
The solution is "easy": download a stock rom from samfirmware, flash it with ODIN (google: flash stock rom with odin) and your phone come back to life. After that make sure to update the Recovery (suggest Philz), add the zip file of the rom and flash it ...of course,don't flash the last rom that cause this
THE NEXT TIME, before flashing a NIGHTLY CM rom ,do a NANDROID Backup!!
Hello,
I have a samsung alpha from korea (G850S) and I tried to install the custom rom ResurrectionRemix so I rooted my phone using odin 3 and CF auto root, then I have installed twrp using flashify app and finally installed the rom.
The rom was apparently not stable because it has booted the first time but when I rebooted my phone it was stuck on samsung alpha logo, so I decided to install Jumbo rom.
I made a wipe (system, data ...) and install it using trwp. The problem is the instalation failed and now I have no rom and I can access to trwp anymore
I only have access to download mode and android system recovery <3e>, I have tried to instal trwp again using odin but when I press vol up+home+power I have the samsung alpha logo
With android system recovery I can have adb acess but I dont know what to do.
Could you help me ? Thank you
This happened to me with my g850f. Make official rom installation with odin. Use cf auto root again BUT you must install twrp 3.0.0.0 for higher android versions like lollipop or marsmallow. You can find twrp 3.0.0.0 or higher versions by searching xda forum. After rooting your phone you can install twrp with flashfy. You can find it in play store. Good luck
Sorry for bad english
