hey guys,
i'm having this emergency issue!
few days ago my galaxy s3 stuck on the Samsung boot logo,
i tried everything ...
i am not able to enter the recovery mode, but i am able to enter the download mode.
i tried to use odin to re-install the stockrom, and the odin keeps faild again and again.
i also tried to install my previous rom and yet the odin failed.
i dont know what to do..
i looked up and i notice it related to the gs3 sudden death?

After installing from ODIN did u wipe data/factory reset?? If u stil hav warranty get it repaired asap..
The same problem arises n first i need to get into recovery so that i can wipe reset but i cant get into recovery
What were you doing / flashing when your phone got bricked?
If ur bricked ur phone wont boot up till samsung screen... Something else think so
if you bricked ur phone u need to find a guide like "how to get into download mode after Brick" i dont know one for the ace but there are some i think.
if you are in download mode then you can reflash a stock rom with odin.
I have flashed several times through odin but still no use
Since you can go to download mode, flash ClockworkMod Recovery 5.0.2.6 and then flash a custom rom

I've never mentioned to use ODIN cause obviously he's doing something wrong with it.
He can flash CWM through download mode
Flash a 2.3.3 stock first then only flash 2.3.4 and follow by 2.3.5 and 2.3.6. Do not straight away go for 2.3.6 .

Let me understand 100%....
If you have battery pulled and then cannot boot into recovery or download mode. Correct ?
But you can power on, but stuck on the boot screen. Correct ?
If this is both correct, maybe your boot partition is corrupted and without download mode or recovery the only hope is the USB jig to force it to boot into download mode and then you can flash official firmware with Odin.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
BOTH right ,I can get into download or recovery mode when power on , but stuck on the boot screen. When I charge it , the battery logo isn't appear.
what should I do??
Please explain what exactly steps you were doing that lead to your situation. Maybe others will have another idea.
Try the USB jig to force your phone into download mode and flash firmware with Odin as previously suggested.
If the jig doesn't work. You're bricked and only a JTag or Samsung service center can now help.

I FLASHED the offical room found in firmware.COM ,after that , it reboot and get into the recovery mode itself.
Excellent, seems we misunderstood each other , otherwise you would not have been able to flash anything.
Now. Just flash root kernel (with cwm included) and you'll be good to flash your favorite rom.
Don't forget to full wipe before the rom flash (system.data.cache.dalvik) and you will be trouble free. First boot will take a while so be patient.

if unsuccessfull pick an official ICS rom from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1544487 and flash from ODIN, and root

Nothing to panic about, first of all, FLASH A STOCK FIRMWARE..and it will boot into the recovery showing loads of errors, well the problem has not been solved,clearly..
Now, Flash a Stock Kernel Via ODIN..Or a CF-Root kernel as suggested by one of the users! Also,if u still face problems, In the Question & Answer Section of the Forum For SGS2,u will find :

please go thorough the respective threads,read and you will find a solution and,make sure ur battery does not run out
Try flashing a custom root ROM such as Litening ROM v2.6. You can flash .tar directly with Odin. It will install CWM Recovery and siyahkernel. Give it time to first boot maybe 5 minutes ... be patient

After., update to the latest ICS siyahkernel with custom cwm recovery here

Do not mess with kernels custom roms etc .

A lot of us have been to this scenario, panicking at first, but a very good sign is that it will boot to recovery.
Download a nice safe stock Rom from samfirmware and flash using Odin. When your at that point, your phone is back up and grinning then you can cf-root and flash custom till your heart's desires, till you mess up again, then just start from the beginning again.
Good luck and let us know how you get on

If its stuck at the boot logo it is usually down to some corrupt data.
You need to be using odin to flash a safe rom. When it starts to boot long press power to turn it off, then boot into recovery and wipe data (even stock recovery can do this) then reboot again and it should boot fine.
As already said I had this panic... Pull the battery then do a wipe/ factory reset then it will boot fine

Try reading the posts. Download Odin and stock rom. You can find odin somewhere at xda and stock firmware at sammobile.com. Use odin to flash as stock roms are not flashable via cwm.
What have you flashed and how .

When you are at the bootscreen press vol up +power+menu buttons together ..keep holding untill you see the green droid..wipe data from here

well things dont go right most of the time, i have flashed many roms, but this is the first time i encountered something like this, i think something is corrupted in the boot/cpu/gfx/internal sdcard system, as you can see from the ss, this is from recovery, i did full/wipe/flash/stock/custom/kernals etc... the system crashes at the Samsung Galaxy SIII boot screen and sometimes crashes at the SAMSUNG logo, every update/zip i try install from external sdcard crashes partway. I can only flash .tar files from odin with success, but if it executes the scripts from s3... i get lucky!
Goes to to play and instal triangle away... This will reset acounter... Hopes its help you..

you can flash stock firmware and your phone will work
download it from here http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&t=1&o=1&m=GT-I9300&r=7#regiona
just choose register and choose your country and download it
and flash it with odin
then do a factory rese (if u dont do it u will be stuck in the samsung logo )
and ur fone should work
1. i cant install any apk since it will not bootup...
2. any rom i flash thru odin, branded/unbranded etc... from kies/sammobile etc... will not boot at all.
3. i think the boot loader is corrupted?
Looks like it's stuck at wanting to install a OTA update maybe.
Try this:
Flash CWM recovery with root adb access (CF-Root should neatly do the job), once in CWM fire up a shell session via "adb shell" from the PC and run these commands:
Code:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p11 bs=4096
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p10 bs=4096
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p8 bs=4096
Then do a factory reset / data wipe from the recovery's menu and reboot
(what the above does: it wipes the OTA, preload and cache partitions)
Would a new sd card work? If you can get into recovery, all you need is a new sd card with a rom on it?

[Q] Bricked with no way to wipe cache or factory reset

Hey guys! After doing a factory reset on my i9300 today, I was restoring the applications and titanium backup prompted me to reboot the device, which I did. Once I attempted to reboot the device, it was stuck in the CyanogenMod boot logo. I tried to use the ROM Manager, but the factory reset which I had done before had deleted it, so my only option is the download mode. Tried using Odin to reinstall the stock ROM but this always fails! So in short, my device is soft bricked, I have no access to anything except download manager, what can I do to get my phone working again?
Try and flash a custom recovery then reinstall a new ROM

Woops, sorry! Basically if I try put a stock ROM on it, using a .MD5 file, it fails! Also, trying to put a .tar file failed too... Don't know if this answers your question?
Where it fails was the question .
Your phone can't get bricked.
1.Reinstall USB drivers
2.Flash a new recovery through ODIN or flash the stock ROM
3.Enjoy.
Try booting in recovery by pressing Menu+VolumeDown+Power

[Q] Help...not booting!

Hi guys, I hope you can help....my phone has the latest cyanogenmod ROM installed and all has been running well...until today.I had the phone on charge and when I tried to boot it was getting stuck on the 'samsung galaxy s iii GT-I9300' screen..I have rebooted to recovery cleared cache, delvik cache and installed the ROM again, rebooted and still not working, so I repeated the same steps but also done factory reset, still the same. I have tried to connect the phone to pc but it is failing to load MTP usb drivers ....which I think is a unrelated issue.
I'm sure I should be able to get it going via recovery, have been trying all day...is there something I should be doing that I haven't tried already?
Hope somebody can help as I'm pulling my hair out!
Thanks in advance.

flash official firmware from sammobile.com via odin
Is product name blank in download mode, if yes then you have SDS and need a new motherboard. If no then flash stock rom using odin after full wipe and format of system & data, factory reset in recovery after flash and see if it boots.

If you can go into recovery mode, it's not SDS, if you have backup just restore it, or go into download mode and flash stock Samsung firmware.
Make sure that you have latest Samsung drivers on your computer installed.Good luck.
Hi guys...
Thanks for the replies, I'm in the process of downloading the latest stock ROM, I didn't realise it was such a big file 800+MB!

still no luck

Well,as much as I have read about SDS, you can't go into recovery mode,you can go only into download mode and there is blank product name.So maybe to OP it's a different situation, and to OP I would suggest to check if product name on download mode isn't blank.

Unfortunately not
1) Complete eMMC failure. This usually happens over night whilst on charge* - The LED may be lit but the phone will not wake. Subsequent removal of the battery will turn off the LED. You will never get the LED back on. The phone will never turn on again. It needs to go to a service centre and have the motherboard replaced
* Being on Charge is NOT the cause. This is a writing to memory issue and it is more likely to happen when teh device is awake rather than in deep sleep. When the S3 is on charge, it holds a wake lock (so remains awake) throughout the entire charging period, meaning SDS is more likely to occur when on charge This does not mean you should avoid charging your phone. If it's going to happen, it's going to happen
2) Half SDS as it has not-so-affectionately become known. This tends to be more of a boot loop of the Samsung boot splash. the eMMC is partially wiped out. You cannot boot into android or recovery . It fails at the boot screen, but the screen does turn on none-the-less. The only; thing you can do is top boot into Download mode.
Hi guys
Just to clarify, the product name on download mode isn't blank....and yes I tried the reset after loading from odin.
