boot to recovery mode and perform a factory reset. Reboot your phone
Your device should boot now , if the flashing process was error- free.
Swyped from my Galaxy SII
This is a soft brick ( don't panic , when i don't softbrick my phone at least once every couple of days , i feel that something is wrong with the phone )
Ok here is what to do
1) download siyah kernel.tar from http://www.gokhanmoral.com/public/files/siyahkernel/v3.0/Siyah-v3.3.3d.tar
2)download pc odin3 v1.85 ( google it)
3) get into download mode and flash siyah kernel
4) download a rom.zip and put on ur external sd card using a card reader to connect it to ur pc
5) boot into siyah kernel's recovery mode and install zip from sdcard then install the rom u want
It is recommended to wipe data and cache via recovery ( but dont do it if u were on 4.0.4 or were trying toi stall it)

Happy to hear that , just stay away from ICS 4.0.4
problem with the boot
heloo everyone i updated my samsung galaxys3 (SHVE210S) using odin(ICS to JELLYBEAN) but after the installation odin says SUCESS but my phone is not working :/ phone is starting but stuck in a moment after the welcome sound can plzzz anyone can help me how to resolve this problem, is it a problem in the firmware ????
not going after samsung logo
Tried rooting my s2 using odin. went into download mode then connected the phone. and clicked start. according to the instructions for rooting from youtube , it said the phone would restart after it said PASS on Odin. After it showed PASS it didnt restart even after a very longtime. so i disconnected.
Now i get the samsung logo with a triangle below. I m able to go to download mode.
Pls help guys
Hi
sorry for my bad english
a few days ago i did an update via odin.i mean i want to change firmware to another stock rom to test battery life and something else but my mistake is that i used PIT file.that erase every thing and after that S3 freeze at boot logo ,very lagy and restart by itself.
i searched internet and unfourtunately i found my s3 bricked
but now its ok and the solution is ever u used PIT(partition information table)u must flash files that ur s3 need.
=================================================
1-u must use correct version of samsung galaxy s3(i9300) = Odin3 v3.04
2-go to download mode by presing volume down + menu + power and then select wolume up
3-flash pit file with odin .phone will restart and then enter download mode by step 2 again then go to step 4 (this isnt necessary more)
4-if u want flash desired stock rom do this by PDA button
5-if u do step 4 then restart or not flash PARAM.bin by PHONE button via odin
thats the point , param.bin is the solution for s3
its worked for my dead galaxy s3 gt-i9300 and i thought that bricked
=======================
extract files and uses them
i extracted param.bin from a stock korean firmware
hope it will help who search for solution :victory:
Good but Really works ??
hi
i think this can help if use PIT file.i test without using PIT file and no problem happens.
if phone is slow and laggy and restart with no reason i think its good to test this solution.however this file available in boot loader and main firmware file but flash it instead of those can help
when u flash .pit or .param do you need to enable Re-partition on Odin?

hello,I had initially no WIFI, then a few days later brick.
Hopefully boot always correct and I could flash some original ROM.
But doing so the IMEI and other where lost (while files are written in the EFS partition-directory
My 9300 INT (Europe-France) works but limited to Wifi. 4.1.2 version with EMG4 (recent 2013 july) the 9300 date sept 2012
The EFS was probably overriden
I flashed different ROMS and could not have it back, but I did not try to use PIT rebuilding.
I am actually with an EMG4 modem - so I just wonder
Is the param.bin a descriptive file fro PIT ?
If not what kind of PIT file may I use ? is it included in a part of the ROM files ?
If I put the complete rom file in the PIT window of ODIN, will ODIN use only PIT? or will it FLASH the complete ROM + PIT.
SOrry to be new to this, I can understand shell, ADB, busybox, root etc, but the way the flashing is mounting files and partitioopns escapes me.
Thank you in advance if someone can give me a hand.
Regards
PS I had seen almost 100 pages of different methods and no real TUTO when no backup is find (I may have one at some point but on another SD...
So I know no miracle exist, out of specific equipment. , box, ...
Sorry for the 10001 quetion about the same troublewith IEMI/EFS
Help
there is no PIT partition here
i can't understand if i need to flash param or not. if its not needed then why download it ?
i can't connect to wifi and can't use dialer, does above method solve my problem ?
Everything that happened:
1) I rooted my GT-I9300 using ODIN v3.07 and CWM Recovery
2)I installed zip of Resurrection Remix Kitkat ROM for S3 using CWM
3) I hated it to the core!
4)I flashed the official stock ROM of 4.3 JB using ODIN
5) I realized that USB Debugging was off!
6) My phone gets stuck at the Samsung logo and doesn't even load into recovery mode!
7) It boots into download mode, I flash the 4.1.2 JB ROM for S3 using ODIN
8)The Samsung logo appears, disappears and then again appears! This goes on forever!!
9)This time it boots into Android Recovery and displays the error: E: failed to mount data (Invalid Argument) cant find /data
10) The phone restarts and continues the boot-looping!!
11) I try to restore it with Kies3 using Firmware Upgrade and Initialization
12) It upgrades the firmware to 4.3 JB but the things that happened in NO. 6 continue!
13) I realised its time for the xda people to help me out!!
Things I have:
1) My Bricked Samsung Galaxy S III (International) GT-I9300
2) USB Cable
3) A Windows 7 PC with 2GB RAM
4) An Internet Connection
Can someone please explain what has happened to my phone and what should I do to get it back on stock ROM?
Please help me as I dont want to buy a new phone!
Note: If you have 16 GB of I9300, apply this guide
I think you can restore your device via repartition with a PIT file. I uploaded Odin and PIT file that I use. You can download it from attachments
You should install this ROM via PIT file; http://samsung-updates.com/details/25147/Galaxy_S_3_International/GT-I9300/TUR/I9300XXUGNB6.html
Make sure select PIT file in Odin before installation.
I live in India. Can you suggest an INU or INS rom?
I flashed my phone with PIT file and (INS_I9300XWUGML4_I9300ODDGML4_I9300DDUGMK1) 4.3 JB ROM. No Progress!!

Can you try install with my suggested ROM? If it will success, you can install your country's ROM anyway.
After installing it via PIT file, wait for boot. If it stuck in Samsung logo, remove battery,insert the battery again, boot into recovery and try to wipe data.
I'm saying again; Make sure select PIT file in Odin before installation.
Did you try a wipe data when you flashed second stock ROM?? When you got in recovery

I installed the ROM with the PIT file but still no progress!
A new problem:
1) I went to the Samsung people expecting some help
2) And they did the most cruel thing on this earth!!! They said
"The binary counter says 4. That means you have flashed the ROM customly. This has void the warranty of your device. We cant help you if you have void your warranty. Sorry!"

Try flashing the stock S2 firmware (Make sure you include PIT file)
Then try again with CWM as the memory should not be corrupted anymore
My MTP drivers are not installing

Yea that can be quite a bit of a problem. I hope u can boot into recovery mode. Just download compatible recovery zip file, choose apply update from system recovery and select the file. Be sure u have the right recovery file. no PC required.

Follow the steps I've mentioned in this forum yesterday.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/help/fix-samsung-s2-booting-root-reset-t3087729
This should fix the issue, and then you can restore back and update your phone or flash custom ROMs.

i'm trying to download from rapidgator from 2 days but i can't, it always breaks!
and it can't be resumed
http://samsung-updates.com/details/23417/Galaxy_S_2/GT-I9100/VOD/I9100XWMS2.html
I have a stucked i9100 too.
If i choose a pit file, and select Re-partition, Odin stucked in SetPartition.
if i not checked, the re-partition, Odin stucked in data.img (3 files) or sbl.bin (1 file)
the same problem
always stuck in: NAND write start!!
help please
note:
when i falsh a recovery (like:CWM-KitKatCompatible-i9100.tar) it flashed well, but i can't access the recovery!
phone ssn: i9100GSMH
is it necessary to flash any pit file?
pit file should not be necessary, its main purpose is to re-partitionate the device. If you are already happy with your setup you don't need to flash it to update firmware.
Remember to choose the firmware for the right region for you, the link you posted is for VOD Region (United Kingdom Vodafone).
i think the problem is in the region, i've tried many regions but no one worked.
how to know my phone original firmware region?
Edit: phone flashed sccuessfully.
the problem was that the version printed in the phone is I9100, and the real phone's firmware is I9108.
