Does your phone power on at all? If it does I would recommend booting into recovery mode and performing a factory reset. If this doesn't work you can flash the latest firmware to your device using Odin from here http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/?model=SGH-T679&pcode=TMB#firmware. Let me know if you still have questions .

Did you try flashing it back to stock, and then trying to flash a new kernel and rom onto it. What are you using to flash it? Odin?
1. What did you flash to get there?
2. Can you get to recovery mode?
3. If not, flash a complete from through Odin

Yeah I tried that and it didn't work but maybe I'm flashing the wrong files...I dunno...do you have the correct files? If you do please share...thanks

I was trying to flash what I thought was the stock Rom using Odin and it just got stuck in download mode...even after I tried flashing a different kernelafter which I which I would try to flash the Rom but it would give an error and stay in download mode download mode...suggestions??
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
You need to make sure your not flashing player 4 roms on your player 5, since this thread combines the two, it's easily confused. Secondly, download the stock ROM files, and flash using Odin. I'll post the links shortly to help make the search less difficult.

I have upgraded my phone to the unofficial jelly bean release which changed my startup screen to show GT-I9300 rather than GT-I9300T.
I have now downgraded back to the official Vodafone AU ICS 4.0.4 ICS firmware but the startup screen is still showing GT-I9300.
How do I flash the startup screen to show GT-I9300T on the very first screen that appears when you turn the device on?

Are you sure u have flashed the correct
Aus firmware? Do you still have root? Try a factory reset
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Boot screen is part of the firmware. Params file if you want to search more.

I also have the i9300T and have flashed numerous custom and stock i9300 firmwares (cwm only). When the phone boots it still shows as i9300T before the boot animation kicks in, but in settings / about device it shows as an i9300.
Initially I found it odd because on my previous S2 model T it changed to i9100 when I flashed international firmware on it.
Maybe something has changed with JB firmware.

You have to factory reset from the phone but it will format the internal sdcard

I used ODIN 3.07 to Flash the firmware via the PDA field.
I always do a backup of my data to my External SD Card and then do a factory format via CWM and clear cache before installing firmware.
The firmware file i used is from samfirmware: I9300TDUALF2_VAUALF2_Australia_Vodafone_Android_4.0.4.zip.
Don't you get your root back when you flash original firmware to the phone?
I have a feeling because I used JB 4.1.1 International it changed the boot screen?
Is there a manual way to change it back using the params file?
No you dont get root you will have to root again. Go into settings backup and reset then do a factory reset. I think that will erase internal sdcard tho.

I've tried searching for the params file but dont seem to find much info on it. I've also watched if the file is flashed when using in odin but I cannot see it like I have in previously when flashing my SG1.
I have completed factory reset using the option under security and via CWM.
Can anyone please provide me with more information to point me in the right direction as I do want to restore it looking like factory?

Were you able to solve the problem? Was just wondering what you did for the boot-up to show I9300 instead of I9300T. I have flashed dozens of ROM, official and AOSP, but mine always showed I9300T. I have the I9300T and I want it to show I9300 instead. Your problem is what I want. LOL. How ironic.
I recently posted a thread asking for help reverting my international gs3 back to its original 4.0.4 state after flash in the super nexus ROM. The reason I want to do this is so that I can get the official 4.1 update from Samsung when it is released. I followed the instructions from the video by totallydubbed but I saw he was flashing from another ICS ROM not jb. When I reset my flash counter it said "Samsung official and under that it was still saying custom, on his phone both said official. When I plugged the phone into the computer it would not recognize the phone, nor did Odin.....is there anything else I can do? Thank you in advanced for any input.
Instal drivers or change USB port or restart pc

I have the drivers installed because I used Odin to root the phone when it was still on 4.0.4. Would it be different drivers since its running 4.1 right now?
Reinstall driver.
Get your phone in downloading mode and try plug it again.
Try with other usb port

Did you do a factory reset after the flash? I do believe that is necessary to clear that status

Your problem is you flashed files for the wrong phone. These are the forums for the samsung galaxy s vibrant (t959). You need the forums for the samsung galaxy s 4g (t959v). They are two totally different phones and are not compatible.
