you should flash a stock FW via odin.
just make sure before starting odin you need to close all kies processes via task manager, this could lead to the failed operation.

when i flash it,the process is success but after the flash,when I try to turn the device on just restarts over and over again when it reaches the samsung screen, the animated image, not the "samsung galaxy s3" beggining image
Go into recovery and do a reset after the flash
1) Flash a stock ROM via ODIN
2) If it keeps restarting at the Samsung logo, go into recovery (turn the phone off and then hold volume up + home button + power button until the Android appears) and factory reset/wipe data.
3) Restart

Sorry but...I´ve done it and it reboots like before... Really thank you even so...
Problem...
I think i fried the EMMC... because when i try to flash the pit it doesn´t works...
But when I try to flash a PDA file, the stock rom, it flash succesly, but after the flash, it reboots continuously... i think the partition of bootloader is the bad flashed here...
If you´ve got other pit files can you post here the url? Thanks!

When stock rom has flashed by odin each write is verified and if any error is found will be logged in odin textarea.
So, probably problem is not emmc.
The common cause to boot loop is data partition has been corrupted.
To solve is necessary format data partition.
To boot direct in recovery mode, use the combination volume_up+home+power.
Use recovery menu to issue the factory reset.

flash via odin
I've tried same as davidmartins but all failed w/ the same Odin log.
Initial rom on my S3 was I9300XXLEF (Hong Kong) and I flashed Samsung Galaxy S III GT-I9300 Stock Firmware Collection I9300XXEMA2 after that it didn’t re-boot because of wrong ROM, if I try to get into recovery it shows the “Firmware upgrade encountered issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again” screen.
I tried also to re-flash the Stock FW but failed too.
Any further advise to bring my S III back to life would be highly appreciated.

Had you updated to Official 4.1.2 before flashing SuperNexus??
What kernel and recovery were you using. Please mention the version number too.
I have the same issue. It happened the other day... can't flash anything with odin. I have the i9300, was rooted, CWM recovery, and had an Omega rom 6-7 months old.
So anything that can be done? I can only get to download mode.

can't run mi smartphone. odin can't install anything

hello everyone, my case it's the following, I has installed the rom (I9300XXUFME3 (UNOFFICIAL – LEAK) ) but of course this one it's very unstable. finally I has re-installed the original rom, and has actualized automaticaly, after of this the phone wont boot again. i tried to re install via odin another rom, kernel, etc but nothing works. finally the error its beacues the pit file doesn't exist. i tried to install it via odin but dont work. im lossing my hope of have the phone again.
note: i forgot to root my phone so... can't run recovery mode.
Would have had to factory reset going from leak back to official. Can be done from stock recovery.
Although who knows now? You maybe flashed to death

If you didn't factory reset before going back to official you will end up with such issue. Go to stock recovery and wipe all data and install fw via Odin again

[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

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

Galaxy Light SGH-T399N: Fully Bricked,No OS,No Recovery Mode,Only Download Mode,Help!

I bought this phone online. I do not know the history of it. When I got it, the phone was hanging/booting up to MetroPCs logo. I tried flashing it but it seems that I messed up more, even flashing the phone with the original firmware. I also tried flashing the 4 firmware files through ODIN. After many attempts, ODIN was asking for the PIT file. I downloaded the PIT (http://chomikuj.pl/zabrzesklep/*e2*...GH-T399/T399_garda.pit,4041671026.zip(archive)) and flashed it through ODIN along with the factory firmware but it did not work. Then I thought that the downloaded PIT file could have been corrupted. So I extract the PIT file from a second working SGH-T399 phone (https://techbeasts.com/2015/04/07/how-to-extract-pit-file-from-samsung-devices/). I extracted the PIT file and tried flashing the damaged T399N but ODIN gets stuck on the "Get PIT for mapping.." message:

Or, if I tried flashing all 4 files (BL,PDA,Phone,CSC) then I get the "There is no PIT partition":

Any help please!!!
Anybody?
This phone is completely bricked. It only allows me to enter to download mode.
I would like to fix the phone. I already have the PIT file but for some reason is not working. The phone is not entering to the recovery mode. Please help!
The phone is unsupported by Kies and Smart Switch.

Hello there. Here it is:

Hey Guys, I have not solved my issue yet. Help anybody?
Do you have the Tmo or Metro version? The first firmware you were trying is Metro and 2nd is Tmo. Edit: Sorry, just saw the CSC which mentioned Tmo but the other stuff references Metro.
You can also just try to Odin a custom recovery (recommend TWRP) then install a custom rom and see if that gets you booting at least.

Hello there and thank you for replying! I have the SGH-T399N MetroPCS version. I tried installing anything but phone always says "No Pit". Again, I also tried the PIT file. I go the PIT out of a working SGH-T399N.
Most Samsungs don't need a separate pit file to fix softbricks. Not sure why the first file you mentioned didn't work. I'd try the custom recovery and rom method I mentioned and see what happens from there.

The phone does not enter in recovery mode. Also, I tried installing a custom recovery but Odin always says "No Pit file" even though I set the PIT file on Odin separate. "NO Pit File" all the time in any Odin flash
Weird. I've only worked on one of those quite a while ago and never experienced this so hard to say what's going on. Which version of Odin are you running and are you using it in Admin mode? I think trying to use the pit might have made matters worse...

I have tried Odin versions: 1.85, 3.07, 3.09, 10.7, and 11.1. When you say "Admin Mode", do you mean Administrator privileges in Odin?

Yea. What version of Windows are you using?
I am using Windows 8.1. I also tried flashing the phone on another computer with Windows 8.1 and I get the same error.
Try this one: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347823379
It's the update that came out after the one you are trying. Make sure repartition is UNchecked.

I already tried T399NUVUANH1, T399NUVUANK3, and T399NUVUAOH3. I am still getting the same "NO Pit" error on Odin
