pit file missing
you have to download pit file so it can create a partition. download it and flash it together with the tar file of your desired firmware. i had the same problem but it couldn't create a partition as it is full bricked and i sent it for a warranty
re-partition fails

try this link

if you have a problem as well then probably you have a problem with nand so you have to send it for warranty as well
Thanks for all the replys, i will check and update

What ROM and what Kernel did you use before it happened (Kernel version is also important)? And what did you mean with you got stuck? Details are important when you are dealing with cases like this.
I saw this kind of screen before, some guy had the same problem. However he couldn`t fix himself. Ever heard of Sudden Death?

No one has been successful with that method yet. The issue will be that the wear levelling bug has wiped out your eMMC and it needs replacing.
Have a read in the general forum of the "ultimate SDS thread" or whatever its called. There is also my "important - are you covered" thread stuck at the top of general.
So thats the sudden death ? Were you on 4.1.2 before you bricked?

before rooting was on what ever the latest firmware was
i did not use triangle away
i was using paranoid android 4.2.2
then went to cmod9
so i think i am screwed
CM9 has no SDS fix.
All you can do is try and get warranty repair if you're still in warranty. Otherwise pay for a Mobo repair / replacement.
Someone posted a how to to fit a new eMMC and the cost of the eMMC was cheap, but the effort was a lot.
People gotta take care what firmware to flash :/ Stock 4.1.2 is safe , I used DFG and didnt get any freeze for like a week so my phone's stable now ... maybe samsung come up with a new firmware which makes your phone explode or ruin our devices ... Who knows >.< ?

A friend of mine over at a Swedish forum is having problems with his SGS3 i9300. His phone just died, completely random, and refused to boot. he can only boot to download mode, nothing else.
He tried flashing a stock nordic ROM, which failed since ODIN threw him a "there is no pit partition" message. He tried flashing various PIT files, but it all stops with "there is not PIT partition" He did not do anything to his device for this to happen, it just died on him and that's where it all started.
Shot in the dark, but has his NAND memory somehow crashed, which caused the error of not booting/not accepting PIT files?

Hi! It just happened to me today! In the morning I was using the phone - calling someone.
Then put it into my pocket, went to work, and there it was already at the boot page, and staying there when resetting.
Tried to flash with odin, and I get the same error message as your friend.
I had a stock 4.0.4 rom, never touched anything on the phone yet.....
Any idea from someone?
edit:
as i9000 has linked to newer firmware with everything in post bellow, so just use that.

Hi
Yesterday i rooted my Samsung Galaxy S2 i9100m VIA The zergrush exploit.
I Tried to flash CWM Via Odin and it did not work!
My phone will not access recovery and when turned on normally says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again"
I have tried flashing the bootloader, kernel, CSC, modem, and firmware several times but they always fail!
I tried to follow this guide here and it also did not work!
I can not think of what else to do so i have posted this thread here!
Thanks

- Did you try to flash other recovery's? If yes, then which one= No but i am now
- Do you still have download mode= Yes
- Did you flash .pit files or re-partitoned= Yes i flashed the correct pit file and it succeeded
- What firmware were you on= I9100MKG2
- Did you reinstall the drivers= Several Times
- Tried different usb port / pc= Yes
- Did you try different cables= Yes
So I guess you've flashed a stock I9100M ROM via odin and failed too, right?

Flash custom kernel so you can get to recovery then.
And if you tried that too keep on flashing.

Sorry about that and i have updated my thread!
Oh boy, did I just read that you used a .pit file and that the flashing failed? You do know that the flashing needs to succeed when you flash a .pit?
Did you use a .pit the first time when the flashing failed?

Hey guys,
the Galaxy S3 of my mother is no longer working properly, I am not a Newbie in flashing and stuff but I could use some help.
When turned on, the device only shows the very first Samung Logo (no animation) and sticks with it forever.
There is no custom rom flashed, my mother said it happend after die Phone crashed.
At first I didn't think it was so much of a problem, but it does not boot into recovery aswell..
The only thing that is available is the download mode. I tryed flashing another rom using Odin, but it aint working.. It stops when it comes to NAND writing and the operation fails. I have only Samung drivers installed (kies not running) and tryed two PCs already.
I don't know what else I can do. I read that flashing via Odin can sometimes fail because of bad cache.. in this case there is nothing I can do!?
Any Ideas?
My Mother needs this phone for work so I don't want to send it in, because it will surely take its time..
Thanks in advance!
Cheers!

OK thanks. We needed to rule out SDS.
However, NAND Write FAIL means you have a similar issue to SDS in that your internal memory "NAND" is borked. It needs to be sent back for repair under warranty.
I will try to flash a differnent Rom and in case it won't work I will send it back to repair.
Thank you guys anyway!
Hey guys, recently got mugged for my new S5 and was given a unlocked, bootloop'd S3 i9300 international galaxy s3 (Im from Canada). My buddy told me he had dropped it from about knee high onto carpet when it started having some issues with restarting randomly. He attempted to root it to solve the problems and ended up getting it stuck in a bootloop without the possibility of entering recovery mode. However the phone does go into download mode, so I'm assuming this is a fixable semi brick?
Anyways I started doing my research and found out I should try and reflash the stock firmware using Odin. I found a firmware which I beleive to be the right one, and tried to use Odin.
I got the following message;
Odin v.3 engine (ID:4)..
<ID:0/004> File analysis..
<ID:0/004> SetupConnection..
<ID:0/004> Initialzation..
<ID:0/004> Get PIT for mapping..
<ID:0/004>
<ID:0/004> There is no PIT partition.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
So I have no idea what this means, as every guide I've seen has said not to touch the PIT button etcetc
I'm not sure if this is helpful, but the writing in download mode is as follows : Odin Mode * Product Name (Blank) * Custom Binary Download : No * Current Binary : Samsung Official * System Status : Custom.
That's about all of the info I have, and seeing how this is the only phone I can afford right now any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks guys.

Have you tried more than one stock firmware. Where is the phone originally from? I'm not able to find and Canadian firmware.

Heres the link to the rescue firmware. All the info you gave me says you have pit problems.
This is an emergency firmware that will ever fix or brick the phone but the phone was given to you and you have nothing to lose.

The 4.3 download doesn't have the PIT file in it though, I'm guessing that's the important part? Edit *** repartition failed with the 4.1.2

The pit file is in the rescue firmware file. That's the whole point of the rescue firmwares.
I'm sorry I can't help you any further. I'm not going to provide you a pit file etc as I have no knowledge with them or used them.
Sounds to me like it is bricked.
Good Luck.
The power button is stuck, try to flick it some times and it should stop the bootloop. i drop mine when i was getting it out of my pocket last week and same thing happen, the smd switch got stuck and eventually i broke it down trying to get it lose again.
Hello guys!
I am new here, nice to meet all you guys. I have a huge problem with my S3 and I hope it can be fixed without having to replace the motherboard. Last week a flashed the 24th December nightly of CM14. I did a clean flash through my recovery (TWRP) and everything was working fine until two days ago when I found my phone stuck with the CM logo. I removed the battery and tried to switch it on again after reinserting it: it only showed the "Galaxy SIII" logo and couldn't boot. Now, my phone is still in this state. I can go into download mode (and it correctly shows the model number) and I have full access to the twrp recovery. However, the recovery says "no OS installed" and shows an internal memory of 0mb. It is impossible to do a full wipe as it can't mount any partition (only the recovery partition). Using Odin, I can't flash ANY rom I tried so far... I think it's a soft break as I have full access to the recovery, with a full funcioning touch screen and vibration. Is there a way to fix it? Any help? When I'm home I will give you more details and even post some photos of the error messages I get from Odin and the recovery.
Happy new year to everyone and thanks for your help.

You should try to flash a Factory formatting firmware and remapping the partitions with Pit file using Odin. If this doesn't work... There's nothing else to do

Where can I find the right factory formatting firmware and pit file? I have an International version of GSIII bought in Italy (16gb). In case it doesn't work, will replacing the motherboard do the job? The thing I still don't get is how can the internal memory be damaged if I have full access to the recovery? The recovery is stored in the internal memory, isn't it?
Are you Italian? If so, take a look at this... http://www.androidiani.com/forum/showthread.php?t=344896

Yes, I am! Thanks, I'll have a look at that link.
Ok, I've tried flashing a PIT file to repartition through Odin and this is what I got:
<ID:0/003> Odin v.3 engine (ID:3)..
<ID:0/003> File analysis..
<ID:0/003> SetupConnection..
<ID:0/003> Initialzation..
<ID:0/003> Set PIT file..
<ID:0/003> DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!!
<ID:0/003>
<ID:0/003> Re-Partition operation failed.
<ID:0/003> Added!!
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
When I switch it on I can still go in download mode and recovery, but nothing has changed. I will try now to download a factory formatting firmware.
EMMC brick bug claims another device. Nothing can be done other than replacing the EMMC chip in a specialised repair shop. Or buy another motherboard (i know you're against it, but sh*t happens, yo).

But if the EMMC chip is bricked, how can I still enter into recovery mode? Isn't the recovery stored in the EMMC like any other partition? Am I missing something? I mean, If I couldn't go into recovery I would agree with you, the EMMC would have broken. But as I DO enter into recovery (and can read some files) looks like another problem... If I am wrong, please explain how it works because I'm a little bit lost

Why "added" come later then repatriation operation... I think you should try and try.... Maybe you can change Odin version too. Don't give up just after one try

That's difficult for nothing. Done this summer on my sweet S3, there are tons of tutorial in youtube.... The only thing is wishing new motherboard is OK and don't have a locked imei.... Think at this... Maybe is just time to have a new (and newer) phone

Are you using the original Samsung USB cable and USB 2.0 ports?

yes, I am! I tried several times but it fails every single time... I think I'll buy a new motherboard, 20 euros is a great price. I already have a newer phone (galaxy s6) but I need this s3 to be back to work in order to use it with my secondary sim card Anyway, If you think about installing CM14 nightlies, they are not stable at all at the moment.

I am not intending to be rude, I even explained what EMMC Brick bug means as a way to educate you and the ones that search the forums for explanations, but since you got my post deleted because you thought i was trying to be rude, well yeah, okay. That's why I hate people.
Please keep it respectful in here, and respect each others opinions..
