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.

I have not tried a custom rom but I think it should work.

Hi,
I have a SGS2, I was trying to get rooted but it didn't seem to work. I flashed the rooted kernel and during the process it said that /sdcard couldn't be mounted. I rebooted and some root functionality seemed to be possible. Rom Manager would start and clockwork manager was generating lots of SU prompts. When I restarted the phone again though, all this was gone and I was getting "SU binary not found".
I tried flashing the kernel again but no change. Seemed that something had messed up in the rooting procedure and after a bunch of googling I couldn't figure out what.
So I booked into CWM and after reading instructions here for doing a full wipe, I did a factory reset, system wipe, cache wipe and dalvik cache wipe.
I'm now a bit stuck and feel a bit stupid for not thinking ahead. What do I need to flash (in Odin I guess?) to get my phone running again.
Eventually I want to run the CM9 nightlies via RomManager, but how I get from my current wiped state to being rooted on any rom and then able to run rommanger I don't know.
At the moment my phone just boots to the SGS logo + yellow triangle.
Any help really appreciated. Thanks
Hi, can you identify your phone to be an i9100 or i9100G?
If your phone can boot into recovery, get the correct version here for i9100 or i9100G. Use adb to push the flashable zip into your sdcard, then install it from there.
If cannot enter recovery, try boot into download mode, flash CF-Root with ODIN, you should be able to get into recovery after that. Follow the instruction above to get CM9.

Thanks for helping me - much appreciated
I'm pretty sure my phone is a i9100.
I could get into recovery mode, (CWM v5.0.2.7) but when the phone was plugged into my computer via usb, I got the message that the device had malfunctioned so I flashed CF-Root (CF-Root-SGS2_XX_XEO_LPQ-v5.3-CWM5) again. I've still got the same issue.
I've never used adb to transfer files, but I tried something called Quick ADB Pusher - but it doesn't recognise my device (presumably because the reported malfunction means I'm not connected). Assuming this is my own oversight, is there a good idiot-proof guide to using ADB to get the CM9 onto the phone for installation via CWM.
Thanks
Since you're not confident with adb, I would suggest flash Siyah kernel 4.1.5 tar version with ODIN. It is the latest supported version for ICS. The CWM recovery that comes with it support USB storage mount, with this you can simply boot into recovery, mount USB storage, and then transfer the cm9 flashable zip file with your computer.

Thank-you so much - this worked perfectly for me
Just in case anyone is reading this and knows even less than me - this is exactly what I did:
1. Downloaded Siyah kernel
2. Flashed using Odin (reboot in download mode, select the siyah tar file in the "pda" box of Odin and press start.
3. Reboot phone into recovery mode, did factory data wipe as instructed on siyah install page.
4. In recovery mode selected mount/storage options, then mount usb storage - then plugged phone into laptop.
5. After driver installed, the phone appeared in "my computer"
6. I deleted everything and dragged CM-10 rom zip file and google apps zip file (available from CM10 thread) onto phone.
7. Exited usb mode on phone and then used the install from zip on internal SD card to install first CM10 rom, then gapps.
8. Rebooted.
All done Thanks again.
Hi, so I've been flashing for a while now on my phone and my friend wanted to root his phone so i agreed to help him out. After flashing multiple files in order to get cwm recovery and just get everything working, the phone started to act up.
Here are the problems:
Phone can boot into stock recovery but i cant flash anything from it
i wiped data/factory reset many times.
i tried to install the cwm kernal by applying update from sd card (I followed the install custom recovery instructions from here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_i777) but when into recovery to flash, 2 red signs come up saying "E: Failed to verify whole-file signature" and "E: signature verificatoin failed" after this is just aborts the process
i tried download mode, but none of my computers recocgnize the phone (2 computers) i have tried all usb ports, reinstalling usb drivers, different usb ports many times but all have failed
if i try to boot, the phone just stays stuck on the Samsung galaxy s2 logo (no triangle? even though its rooted)
my only option is to hang out in recovery, i have a bunch of files saved to an external sd card but i cannot access that from stock recovery
any help would be appreciated, Thanks
You can not install any unsigned files with stock 3e recovery, as you have discovered. That is normal behavior.
I don't know why performing a wipe data/factory reset from 3e recovery does not clear the phone to boot normally. It should. But since it won't...
You will need to get the phone recognized by a computer, and then flash with Odin, or you could try flashing with Heimdall command line. I would suggest that you flash the full stock plus root I777UCKH7 (2.3.4), and then when it boots normally into the system, install Mobile Odin Lite or Mobile Odin Pro, and use that to flash a custom kernel. You can find the stock firmware in the Download Repository, and the basic directions in my guide, both of which are linked in my signature.

The hardest part about this is getting my computers to recognize the phone
i guess i shouldve mentioned this earlier, i attempted to flash in Odin but it was stuck on zImage so i unplugged it
before i flashed in odin, i used to be able to boot into the phone like touchwiz and whatnot, now it just gets stuck on the samsung galaxy s ii boot logo
This is now [Solved}! thanks for the help creepyncrawly! i figured it out after doing some more reasearch online. apparently, youre not supposed to use the charger wire that came with the device since samsung doesnt want to waste their time on creating a good enough cable for this kind of stuff. so i grabbed some random cable that i found in my house, hooked it up and BAM! both of my computers were able to detect my phone just finished flashing bone stock on the phone thanks
I noticed in your post that you tried everything but another cable. But I'm glad you got it working. I had the same problem before too. Cables are finicky little things.

Hi folks, mid last week I woke up to a non responsive Galaxy S2. It's been happily running stock Vodafone ICS for over a year, and somehow spontaneously went soft brick on me. Gets stuck at logo screen or goes into boot loop.
Download mode is accessible. I can flash through Odin (1.85 and 3.09) and it reports success. I have successfully put CWM (various versions) on it can can boot into them fine.
Recovery mode is also accessible and appears to be working fine. I can access external SD card no problem.
Attempting to flash through zip from external SD aborts with Mode 7, reporting bad zip or unable to read source file. I have tried removing asserts from install script (educated myself to the risks and made sure the ROM was correct!!) and multiple versions of CM (10.1.3 stable, 10.2 nightly) and multiple versions of CWM recovery (6.0.2.9 is what I've been using mostly, as recommended by CM guide)
Tried running GS2ROMNukeV2.12.zip which reported successful wipe, then attempted zip install from SD with same result (aborted mode 7). Repeated wipe and attempted stock (I9100TDVLSK_I9100THUTLSD_I9100TDVLS3_HOME.tar) from flash through Odin. Reported success, phone booted into recover and applied KOR CSC successfully, then reboot and still stuck at logo screen/boot loop.
I have attempted the fix in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1449771 as best I could wish the resources I could find, but it's hard to follow to the letter with the links broken!!!
I have not tried repartition with PIT as I'm not sure where to get an appropriate PIT file. Advice on this appreciated!
I want to make this clear because people seem to not want to believe it: I did not soft brick my phone flashing it. My best theory at this point is some kind of memory corruption or hardware failure that's causing a boot loop. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. This week I will probably take it in to a repair shop and hope for the best, but tomorrow is a public holiday and I've got nothing to lose by trying any more suggestions.

If memory serves me right this is due to an old version of Recovery, i had the same thing, updated recovery and it flashed zip fine. just as you know. :fingers-crossed:
Hi guys! I have been reading through the post and searching for possible solution to my Galaxy Tab GT-P1000 problem but I cant find any solutions. Here is the story:
I have flashed the GT-P1000 tab with clockworkmod version 6 (i am not sure the exact version) using Odin.
Now after flashing the recovery, I have successfully installed Cyanogenmod 11 (nightly build) and everything was successful and everything is great.
A friend of mine borrowed the tab and he put a pattern to lock the phone, instead of asking him what is the pattern I just decided to wipe the tab again to make a clean install. So what I did was I went to recovery and selected "format /system" which I shouldn't have, then after rebooting it is not booting up to Cyanogen anymore, so what i did was I just wiped everything (format /data, cache and factory reset)
Now this is the weird part, the devices has kept on booting up to clockwork recovery and it says the device is not yet rooted, it is asking me if it is ok to root it, I always selected yes
After another boot up, the clockwork recovery is now version 3.0.0.5??? it is really weird? I never installed any clockwork mod with a lower version... How did that happen?
Now whenever I try to install from sd card or restore it or mount it nothing happens, it just says:
E:Can't mount
E:unknown volume
E:unable process volume! skipping
I tried to flash the recovery again using Odin many times but still the clockwork mod is stuck in version 3.0.0.5.
Right now, I am not sure if my understanding of the entire system is correct:
1. Should I install a new recovery, if yes, how and why is it whenever I am installing it again it is not being installed, it gets stuck to version 3.0.0.5?
2. Are there any other recovery I should use and how should I install it? is it the same as using the Odin?
3. Is there a way to install the original recovery of this tab and then from there I will start over again.
@Battousai1
1. & 2. Find an Odin flashable recovery for p1000... Go to download mode and flash it with Odin...
After doing that you shouldn't have the problem anymore...
3. To install the original recovery find the stock rom which is again Odin flashable ... Flash it and you'll have the stock recovery...
