s3 bootloop cant use odin. - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So basically i tried to flash cm10.1 but i didnt wipe so it didnt turn on. I tried to get into recovery but that doesnt work so i tried to flash stock drom via odin but it gets stuck on NAND WRITE START. I tried differrnt phones everything i searched the forums but cant find a solution that works for me. If i boot the phone i only get the first screen for half a sec then black then half sec again...

Maybe the re-partition is the issue but I got no experience in that area.

Yep probably another one broke the PIT ..
requires a service centre or flashing firmware like .

I closed Odin and then tried to reboot the phone..again nothing!! A friend told me to try again but this time with re-partition ticked and use this PIT GT-I9300_mx_20120220.pit with I did..hmm I wish I never!! That is when it all went Pete Tong
The phone started to re-partition got a big blue line and STOPPED!! I left it like that for 10mins before closing Odin. Now when I try to flash the phone Odin start but nothing happens!! I have a screenshot of Odin hanging but can not post it here yet

First power down your device, Go to stock recovery(Home+power button+volume up), Select factory data reset there, Then go into download mode and flash the stock ics firmware..
Do not select re partition.

Then your best bet is to connect to samsung kies, If it detects your phone it'll go to recovery mode and will try to restore it, Try connecting it to kies.

No every time I try and flash the phone Odin just hangs at this point "NAND Write Start" and nothing happens after this and my SG3 just as a blue line across the screen, plus Odin takes ages to start the upgrade
you probably used the wrong pit file, there are ones for the 16, 32,64Gb models
Find correct pit
Flash it on its own with repartition ticked, no auto reboot
Flash stock 3 part firmware
Hopefully this will sort it

Congrats you have flashed wrong kernal..
Now do one thing..
Go to gokhanmoral. Com
If you were running ics download 4.1.5 odin flash able tar file.. Flash throw odin.
If you were on gb download and flash 2.3.5 tar file...
If this doesnt work you need to flash stock rom via odin from sammobile.com for your country..
Make sure you have mobile version GT I9100 AND NOT GT I9100G...

stop!
before messing with pit files, which is extremely dangerous, flash a stock ROM through Odin and then do a factory reset from recovery

Exactly this^^^^....pit file flashing is an absolute last resort, not a first solution
did you tried flashing 4.0.4 stock rom with odin?
same thing happened to me 2 weeks ago, flashing 4.0.4 and after that flashing 4.1.2 fixed it.
try to do not mess with pit especially if you didn't backup your efs folder. it is not needed.

I've already tried to flash a stock firmware, but I still couldn't get it into recovery. I'm not sure if it was the right one though. I have a regular unbranded SIII, is there a specific firmware I should flash?

okay? the first thing to do here is just flash a stock ROM, no need for pit files
Mine was stuck before than samsung logo, on the model number screen. Almost 1 second or less after opening the device.
Then i flashed 4.0.4 and magically it opened without any loop or something. Its useless to flash 4.1.2 or any other jb stock rom, for some reason it seems not fixing the loop issue.
Again, there is no problem related with pit files.

It's all individual, what worked for you might not work for others. Don't say that flashing JB is useless, because it's not
I flashed stock 4.0.4 firmware through odin. The operation was successful, but I was still unable to enter recovery. What am I doing wrong?

Follow the steps to root and flash your custom ROM again as if you just got your phone. The same thing happened to my T999, and it took me 3 tries doing this to finally get back into Recovery.
try to flash in odin stock rom then root use cwm then try to go to recovery..
My cousin's having the same exact issue and we've been unable to find the proper rom. Can anyone please tell me where to get one? I've downloaded some "international" ones but when i try to upload it it keeps telling me failed, i've tried at least 4 or 5 different roms.
ANY help would be greatly appreciated!!
Phone is:
GT-i9300
using it in the US with StraightTalk in the US (been working like a charm for ~6 months, all of a suddent when into this weird limp mode)
Phone was running jellybean 4.1.1 (through kies) and not rooted
Try several times before giving up. Sometimes it works after when the device feels that you've had enough stress and fear.
I mean the problem is common but it's solved in different ways or different repeats.
But it seems that your problem is a software problem that can be solved.

Take a look at his posts, he is spamming that video everywhere, why bait people that need help?
Also remember it does state in the rules to try and be helpful and welcoming to newcomers, or don't post at all, I agree it's a hard balancing act to get right, but if you continually slam the door in people's faces it will put newcomers off, a degree of civility and tact is required

Odin gets stucked while flashing

Hi guys,
I need your help.I want to help a friend of mine to flash stock jb rom.
When tried to flash the first odin stucked at hidden and the second time at system after changing usb port and rebooting the computer.
I found somewhere that flashing pit file then the firm may work
Is that because he didn't do a factory reset before flashing?
He's got an s3 I9300 with orange rom 4.0.4.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Flashing a pit will usually hard brick the phone. If odin is correct version, phone is connected properly and you are flashing the right rom for your phone then the worst had already happened, nand failure.
You are missing a lot of information in your post, what does the screen say in download mode and how did you arrive at needing to flash back to stock?

Write out exactly what the phone screen says when in download mode.
Did you disable Kies before the flash, sounds to me like kies interrupted the flash
I can't contact him right now.Is it sure that the phone won't go back to download mode if the pit file was passed without firm ? If not is it possible to recover it with Jtag ?
@slaphead20 yes I killed it from the task manager

As you've already flashed a pit I think you have a hard brick, all I can suggest is try this thread:
