My phone just suddenly restarted and is now stuck at the Samsung logo (black background). I tried to enter recovery mode (power+home+vol up) as suggested on other threads but the phone is still suck on the samsung logo. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Right I've just found this after searching. http://pc-updates.blogspot.co.uk/2012/07/how-to-solve-galaxy-s3-stuck-at-boot.html
Will this work or shall i try something else?
Does anyone know how I can out which official ROM I need? My S3 is not a UK model, it came with an European 2-pin power charger.
Search your s3's official stock rom in google. You should find the bundle packs and find you country.

I've started with ODIN but I get an error message saying there is no PIT repartition. I have had a look around and found a PIT file (GT-I9300_mx_20120329) but now ODIN is stuck at Setupconnection.
Any help would be appreciated?

Probable initial failure qualifys to repair under warranty PIT partition damaged / erased .
As you do not have a clue i would take to the service centre before you damage the phone and void warranty .
Its not any PIT it requires the correct PIT file for the phone .

You've bricked your device. Congratulations.
Only option is to get a JTAG repair or replace motherboard.
Why on earth did you partition your device? You have probably used a incompatible PIT file. Maybe next time you will be more careful or research things properley before attempting to do this kind of thing.
i dunno what is it with people and pit files. whenever i see a pit file i go like "hell no".
that's maybe because i've read a couple of threads like this.

ok, my wifes s3 kept freezing about 8 times a day. so i rooted it, which went fine. then i decided to put android revolution on it, at the same time i downloaded android revolution for my galaxy nexus. i put the galaxy nexus version on her phone by mistake, although it still installed and booted fine. when we woke up the next morning it had rebooted and was stuck on the boot logo. i tried to recover the phone using odin but it says there is no pit file found.
i have downloaded the relevent pit files, but odin keeps getting stuck on get pit for mapping.
could someone please help me with this, any useful comments would be appreciated.

The thing is you flashed a version not meant for your GT I9300. You flashed the Verizon bootchain. Verizon GSIII is Samsung SCH-i535.
Different hardware than a i9300 (Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8260A Dual core CPU, and the i9300 has a Samsung Exynos 4412 Quadcore). Sorry bro. If you still have download mode, you can try flash a i9300 bootloader. If not. you're dead.
My mother's s3 recently stopped working, its the Vodafone UK model i9300XXELLA 16GB.
I've downloaded many stock roms, but no-one of them get past "nand write start" or "There is no PIT Partition", i've tried 2 Usb cables, one samsung stock one and one i bought.
I've tried Odin 1.85, 3.0.4 and 3.0.7 but all with same results, i tried re-partitioning the phone but it wont go past "getting PIT file".
Its soft-bricked i think, it wont go into recovery mode or boot, when it does boot it stays at samsung boot screen showing model, i've tried using a recovery.tar.md5 but to no avail, i just dont know what to do.
how can i flash it to stock? it wont work.
anyone?

Do you have nand backup?
Do Not Bump
You have a damaged phone Nand .
You now require a service centre repair possibly a new motherboard if you want to try the |DIY route ..
Hi
I just got an Samsung Galaxy S3 I9300 GSMH from a friend.
The phone is not stolen,barred or tampered with. It was bought from the samsung store in Hing Kong and is around 1 year old.
Its totally stock, no custom ROM and custom binary in download mode says No.
The phone is stuck on the Samsung logo screen and keeps flashing. I can get into both recovery and download mode.
I tried reboot system, wipe cache and factory reset and its still stuck at the logo screen flashing.
When I connect to Kies in download mode it says device not responding and doesnt play ball. Tried all the trouble shoot but still does nothing...
The phone is recognised by Odin 3.07.
I have not tried anything further as I want some good advice so as not to brick the phone by using the wrong firmware!!
Could anyone advise me what to do next? I am guessing I need to flash firmware in Odin.
Do I need to partition with the pit file as well?
Again I would highly appreciate some help and links to the correct firmware for the phone.
Thanks in advance
Mark
This is all p[posted in the faqs and guides ..
