GT-i9300 freezing after some use - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hello all,
i was a happy user of my GS3(i9300) running cm 10.1 nightlies until one day i decided to tinker with the developer settings.i by mistake touched the external screen or some thing like that and i clicked 1080p.my phone went into a frozen state.i tried booting it,it well,booted but always froze and i ultimately had to do a factory reset to get my hpone back.this was nearly a month ago.i recently started using the cyandelta app to update my cm.i updated thrice or twice.my phone when put to charge,always froze.i couldnt do anything but restart.(pressing the power button didnt help either.).i ignored this for a while.today ,the phone randomly started freezing and i could only get it back to normal after a reboot.with great difficulty i managed to backup my apps via titanium backup.it never lasted for more than an hour without freezing.i decided to update cm manually.so downloaded it,wiped the phone etc.it got stuck in a bootloop. many restarts later, i got to the initial setup screen.it froze there too.again after many restarts,it finally was in a usable condition.i started restoring the apps(there too it froze).frustrated,i decided to revert to touchwiz of which i made a nandroid backup earlier,it too is feezing.it is freezing a lot more than cm.even after many reboots,the phone isnt normal.after just pulling down the status bar,the phone freezes,the power,volume buttons...none can revive it.only pressing the power for a long time and restarting it brings it back up,but again it ****ing freezes.i dont have any damn idea on what to do.please help.

i work now on it
i'm downloading the firmware, i hope that will solve the problem. thenks
i'm flush the frimware but..
its shows the sumsung logo and then a animtion of stars again and again (is not restart). How long it should be so?
Normally no more than 2-3' on first boot.
If cant boot: Go in CWM Mode, wipe data -factory reset, wipe darwing data, restart in download Mode and flash again official rom via Odin.
Fingertyped on Samsung galaxy tab 10.1" 32GB WiFi

some quick help needed

i recently installed via odin the stock jellybean release rom on my phone along with cfroot and simunlocker.
i have found the stock jellybean rom to have a few too many bugs for my liking and want to go back to stock ics.
I have downloaded the stock ics rom latest release and tried to flash it again using odin in the pda box, it all seems to go fine but then the phone only seems to reboot as far as the samsung logo then stops.
What have i done wrong and how do i fix it please (or should i just be waiting longer for it to boot from the samsung logo?)
thanks
Try boot into recovery and factory reset.

just did this, its booted yp ok but i have now lost my root, guess will just need to do again, the other strange thing is though that i didnt lose my sim lock which was good, thought it was going to revert back to being locked on 3 but seems ok

International (UK) S3 stuck in reboot loop

So I was using an app on the phone and it rebooted.
It now just loops around the initial splash screen, only pulling the battery stops it.
I can get to the recovery menu and did a factory reset but it made no difference.
Not rooted / stock ROM.
I checked the power button and that operates normally.
Is there anything else I can try ?
Thanks
flash a stock rom
If you are not rooted you will have to use Odin and a stock rom for your device.

thanks, I'll go and read up on odin.
I'd love to know what killed the OS, seems bizarre. I was only doing a crossword
I flashed the correct ROM via odin and its still doing the same thing, splash screen appears about every 5 seconds.
Any more ideas or is it going on a trip to the repair centre ?
non root apps cant really kill the os.
what fw we're you on? that app could have used the exynos exploit if your kernel is one of the older ones.
The FW is Vodafone UK, last had an update at the end of last month.
When it died there was nothing downloading etc, was just running an app I've had on there since I got the phone.

have you done a factory reset from recovery after reflashing the stock ROM?
if yes, send it to Samsung
You my good sir have a brick bug only the great Sammy can help

Have you tried a custom recovery ie TWRP or Clockwork Mod, and then a custom ROM? Seeing that you did even have it rooted it probably isn't an option but it is an idea.

Please help me!

OK OK guys yesterday I was deleting some bloatware apps that came with my phone like hangouts,books, talkback ,samsung apps stuff that I don't need.etc
in that time i had switched my phone off around 4 times and switched it back on from when I deleted those apps and now and there was no problems in the system. BUT when I was playing a game (you know how the screen automatically dimmers then the screen went black) that's what happened so i pressed the home button to get the screen on and when i did the lock screen patternmfroze for a long time so I took out the battery than but it back in and switched my phone back on but now it just comes up with 'samsung galaxy ace GT-s5830i' and im not sure what to do. it can go in to recovery mode but i don't have CMW clockwork recovery. when i charge it comes up with the battery icon. I think it is in a boot loop. and I don't think it covers my warranty because ive had to send that phone back TWICE now back to fix it so I think they wont fix it any more. I have factory data reseted it and cleared the cache partition but still no use. I have taken the battery alot of times now and taken the sim card and the micro sd card but no use.

don't call yourself a noob..
odin is a flashing tool for samsung devices..
firmware is the system image,
and flashing is similar to installing..
go in development section and in stickies there is a guide to unbrick your device..!
"unbrick tutorial or guide"
carefully follow each step and get your phone back :thumbup:

OK guys I spoke to my mum about it and she says that if it wasn't your fault then she was going to send it back to the factory again to repair it because I realised we were paying for the phone on a locked 2 year contract. The only time its not under warranty is any damage due to 'physical actions' so hope fully it will just get repaired. But in this thred you can post questions

Make sure after you odin with stock and pit file you go to the stock recovery(volume up, home and power) and do a factory reset and wipe cache! I had the same thing happin and got stuck at Verizon boot and the above worked for me and i have read in other posts that is what others suggest too!
