I9300 Boot logo stuck. Please help - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Guys.
I uninstalled some apps on my rooted I9300 and went to bed. When i woke up, the boot logo was stuck.
The only thing i can access is Download-mode (Volume-down + Home + Power).
I think the only way to get my phone up and running again, is through Odin (please correct me if I'm wrong)
What i have tried to resolve the issue:
- Tried downloading stock firmware from Sammobile.com and adding it in Odin v1.85, v3.04 and v3.07: Result: There is no PIT partition. v3.07 stopped at "SetupConnection.."
- Tried downloading rescue firmware here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30087735&postcount=6. The package included Bootloader, PDA, PHONE and CSC files. Tried running them through Odin, first with "Re-Partition" unticked - Failed. Then i tried with "Re-partition" ticked, and got this:

- I tried downloading KIES, to check if my phone connected, but it doesn't.
I just need to access CWM recovery so i can install a ROM, but when I hold Volume Up + Power, it shows the boot logo after a while and it stays there..
Im fairly new to Android, but I hope you guys have some tips for me.

I can't find a solution in this thead. The firmware i downloaded from Sammobile.com did not include a .pit file, just one large tar.md5 file.
When using this in Odin i get the "There is no PIT partition" error.

What's inside the tar file? Can you extract it and put each of the separate bits in to their own boxes in odin?

As far as I know, there is no point to adb without a recovery to boot?

The rescue firmware i downloaded included 3 parts + PIT file, but when i try to flash just the 3 parts, without the PIT, it fails.

Giving up! I've read through countless forums, and no one has a solution as long as the "Re-Partition operation failed." error shows in Odin.
RMA'ing the phone tomorrow.:crying:

Try firmware initialzation within KIES. You will be prompted for the model and serial number and voilá!!!! New

My device isn't recognized by KIES while in downloading mode. Is it supposed to? I've tried downloading the drivers, different cables and pc's.
Got any tips on how to get KIES to detect my phone?

Try re installing USB Drivers for samsung phones...

Tried it. The drivers are installed. Odin and Heimdall detects it, but KIES doesn't.

Then try to follow firmware initialization steps, and then, and only then, connect the phone... It will look for your terminal in download mode and update it.

Tried it. KIES downloads the firmware and fails at apx 69% telling me that "firmware initialization failed".

send it in

Already packed and ready for shipment.

Update:
The service department stated that they had to replace the mainboard on my phone.
I don't know if they noticed that the device was rooted and had a custom ROM, but it was covered by warranty and they are sending it back with no charge

How lucky you are then!!! Congrats and enjoy the new phone, whenever arrives

Interesting... When flashing the ROM, do you have a .PIT file + ticked Re-partition in ODIN? If not, try that.
Here's the download for stock firmware, straight from SamFirmware (XXKI3, Open Europe, 2.3.5) : http://hotfile.com/dl/130600047/b70801e/I9100XXKI3.rar.html

I have found a PIT file ~ u1_02_20110310_emmc_EXT4.pit I don't know where it came from though? it exists in a folder on my desktop where Odin is placed. Do you think that will be safe?
I've never flashed with Re-partition ticked in odin. I've read that is dangerous. Is this defo safe to do?
Thanks

Yes, it is dangerous when you don't know what you're doing. Be VERY careful when around .PITs.
But I have soft bricked my GSII 3 times, and I have flashed KH3 recovery package thrice, WITH the .PIT. The .PIT is just to be as fresh and stock as possible.
Download the package I gave you. But also, what are you trying to flash?
Just to be safe, don't use the .PIT that you "found". The name's the same as in the pack I gave you, but better than than sorry

Yes, it will include the .PIT, aswel as MODEM, CODE and CSC (which should be multi).
Also, just to make sure, uninstall KIES. It may interfere on the flashing process + it's useless

9 mins to go till the file has downloaded...
So just to be sure i need to flash the PIT, Modem, Code and CSC all together with re-partition ticked?

Yes Do you know where to place each one of them? Let's hope it doesn't end up hard bricked
But before you do ANYTHING, can you go into recovery mode (vol. up+home+power)? If so try to wipe user data and cache.
If that doesn't work, try to normally turn on, and if it bootloops, remove the battery.
PS : I am not liable to any damage that may occur Although I've tested myself and all went OK (With KH3, but it's mainly the same thing )
yeah i know where to put them. I can't enter recovery though. It just loops on boot screen. Will this be a problem if i can't wipe data?
Downloaded file asking for a password?

Now this is weird... I have never seen a flash failed when using a .PIT...
I'm sorry to say this, but I think your GSII is hard bricked... Try to flash another 2 times, the same thing.
What it seems is that the NAND got corrupted somehow... And isn't letting ODIN flash properly...
Just tried another couple of times and still no good.
Obrigado pela vossa ajuda. Feliz Ano Novo!

The last thing that comes to mind is... To flash a stock kernel (preferably KI3 Stock Kernel) from Intratech's thread. If successful, flash the the recovery package again. If unsuccessful, as a last resort, flash the old bootloader provided in his thread aswell (follow his instructions!), and if successful, flash the KI3 package I gave you again. That may screw up the GSII's mind and make it work
As it is unfortunately hard bricked, I'm giving out all options that come to my mind
De nada ! I wish you a joyful new year aswell
In a less confusing manner :
1. Flash KI3 Stock Kernel from Intratech'a thread.
2. Flash Recovery package
3. If recovery package is not flashed, re flash the stock kernel
4. Flash old bootloader provided in the same thread
5. If it boots, then yay. If not :
6. Re flash the recovery package.
With that "guide", I want to exploit the fact that you can root a kernel, so if you root a stock kernel, you get lucky...
Also, are you sure you put the stuff in the right place? .PIT -> PIT, Code -> PDA, Modem -> Phone, CSC -> CSC and ticked Re-partition, Auto Reset and F.Timer reset (irst 3)
Yep.. thats what i did.. Screen shot for you in case you can spot anything? Defo kies not running as you can see from the screen shot.
The phone still goes into download mode though?
Use a different USB port on your PC. Try to use one of the Ports on the rear of your case and not the ones on the front or top of the case.

Tried different ports. Still no luck.. During the flash process is tries to boot the goes to fail.
It not like i can send this back as it has a count of 7 custom downloads.

Stuck on Samsung Boot Screen, ODIN fails

Just noticed my phone was on the Samsung boot screen, it was just sitting on my desk I wasn't even using it.
The phone was only rooted via Odin about a month ago, using a stock 4.1.1 rom (Norway, Telenor)
I managed to get into the Odin mode so I can try ans re-flash the stock rom hoping this may fix it.
I could only find this ROM (which is a norway telenor 4.04 rom)
I9300XXBLFB_I9300TENBLF1_I9300XXLFB_HOME.tar.md5

But flashing a wrong pit file could make things even worse - lets investigate a bit more ?
Try latest odin 3.07
Btw: its a long shot but try flashing whitout external sd - remove it first
same result with Odin 3.07, no PIT partition...
so I found 3 PIT files.
GT-I9300_mx_20120220
GT-I9300_mx_20120322
GT-I9300_mx_20120329
alas none work, ODIN 3.07 just hangs on <ID:0/003> Get PIT for mapping..
this happens if i select any .tar file (CWM or Sammy Firmware) with the PIT file, or Just the PIT file on its own....
its dead Jim....
Thanks for trying to help me Spoonymoon

Heey mate,
I have the same as you,no pit.
The emmc is burned.
I take it to the repair center,and they told me it was the screen,cost 216 euros.
I say the screen is good it's the main board that's bad.
No warranty they say,f..k it.
Now I buy a main board from someone,100 euro.
Put it in and voila,it works.
Warranty samsung sucks.
Good luck.
Do you have the blue one.
It happens a lot with the blue ones.

with what excuse did they tell you no warrenty?
even if you flashed it they cant say no warrenty, a ok phone dosent burn emmc because of a flash, actually in eu theres a eu statement proven at court that says they cant say so, ill find the page for you, print that and throw that in their faces!
Searching is not really painful....have you tried it?
Follow the screenshots and use the Odin version included.

[Q] GT-S5839i Bricked :(

This is my first thread, so hello!
Me and my sister both have a S5839i, and my sisters just randomly bricked, and it is on a boot loop.
I have tried EVERYTHING online- recovery mode, downloading firmware with odin...you name it.
I have used the totoro_0623.pit file, and on Odin, it said it passed. But then trying with all the other firmware, it didn't work.
Yes, I am using the right version of Odin, and I don't have Kies running at the same time as Odin.
This is what happens when I put S5839IBULL1_S5839IVD2LH1_VD2.tar.md5 into the PDA section in Odin. This is the Germany Vodafone firmware, someone else posted in the forums. I have tried the UK one with the 3 network (what my region and network is) , but that doesn't work either, and comes up with the same thing in Odin.

Get the official firmware needed on Sammobile.com, you need an account on there. Don't worry it's free. Flash it as PDA on Odin. Make sure your phone is in download mode (volume up+volume down+power). If it boots, the boot animation might start looping. From theres you can access recovery (volume up+power+home). In recovery you wipe data and wipe cache and select reboot. It should work.

Hi
Don't panic !
Is not a brick, but Odin doesn't support one file (PDA) package.
You need to use Odinatrix to create a 3 files firmware or download a 3 files firmwares

I used Odin 3.07, and that worked... but when the phone loaded and installed - it said "Failed to mount /data (invalid argument)" and continued to boot loop. I thought by installing the firmware and re-partitioning it would fix that :/

Format the data
Put the pit file and tick Repartition. And then flash with Odin.
And you have to use Cooperve pit, not Totoro, it's for SGY
Yeah, I have ticked the re-partion and stuff. Apparently totoro works with Ace as well? All the tutorials say that...
I will still try though

Try to enter download mode and again flash the rom. You said "I also tried flashing STOCK rom", what were you flashing before? I just encountered this error today and flashed again after entering download mode and the error went away.

You do not say what you where doing/ flashing in the first instance .
Kies must be off if using Odin .

The problem started when i plugged my phone on charge, when i unplugged it the phone turned off and continued to restart after samsung logo screen. I then tried kies to upgrade and initiliase but when that reached 4% it would say an error occured. This happens constantly. I then closed kies and tried flashing a Stock rom with ODIN but it keeps saying FAIL in red.
Also afrer kies recovery it now says firmware upgrade encountered an error.

I am unable to understand how you are using Kies and Odin at the same time. You need to go to sammobile.com and find your country there.

First of all, Please try and make sure you can enter recovery mode. From what I understand, your phone is soft bricked. Also you mentioned the model. To download the appropriate firmware you need the country.
IF you can enter recovery mode, things are okay. We can then try rooting your phone with and flashing a custom rom. If that works, stock rom can be flashed back later. But first of all please try entering recovering mode by pressing Volume Up, Home and Power Button. When you see the samsung boot logo, let go and if you get some options that means you are in recovery.

It was from the UK. And i have tried to flash a T-mobile Uk firmware as it was on t-mobile. Thanks guys
Recovery mode and rooting are irrelevant to your issue. Try flashing the rescue firmware from the general forum, if that fails then you'll probably need a new motherboard.

If you have "re-partition" ticked in odin, untick it.
Are you absolutely sure that the firmware you're flashing is correct for that variant?. Have you tried recovery via kies?.
If yes to all then you might have to find a pit file and flash it because it is trying to re-partition the nand, could be corrupt.

Yes i tried to untick it but then it couldnt find pit file.
I'm certain that i downloaded the right firmware. And i tried with 3 other firmware as well.
I tried kies but i couldnt do it because it couldnt connect the phone.
And lastly i tried 4 other pit files but result is same where can i find the right pit file i think it is the problem. By the way last night i could flashed twrp recovery but i couldnt open it. When i tried to it open twrp it opened download mode. And it is the important part: i could not FLASHED AGAIN just happened once odin always keep stuck at "set partition" with "GET MAPPING FOR PIT..." step.
Try a pit file WITH the firmware in odin and see how far that gets..

And sometimes says pit faild! There is no pit partition... I want to know how did u do renew root?
My phone just stucked in downloading do not turn off target!
I just had that ODIN Re-Partition Error, when this happens you are flashing with the wrong country file for your device. You need to reboot into your recovery mode & check those 13 Letter & Numbers above in Recovery Mode eg:
1: The Model Of The Device = Samsung SM-A217M
2: A217MUBU5BUA3 is the Baseband Version number & letters found above in
Recovery mode or in Settings = About = BaseBand Version.
3: Type that same number A217MUBU5BUA3 in Google Search & you will get
the correct country from the result to go to either links to download the
correct country firmware, the one with samfw is the better link to use.
4: Download & apply each file as usual & START. You will see it applying the
firmware with no Re-Partition Errors. It reboots & all is good now. Let me
know if it worked for you, it did for me.

This solution worked for me. I had the re-partition error with four different stock firmwares. Finally I used device info app to check my baseband and bootloader number. I then used those numbers to search for my exact firmware. Flashing this new firmware worked for the very first attempt. A big thanks.
