Hi everyone.
i own a international samsung s3 gt-i9300T
i noticed it behaving strangly as apps where locking up and then it would restart in the middle of web surfing etc
last night i restarted it and now it has frozen in ODIN MODE and states DOWNLOADING-DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET...
Its been on this page for hrs..
i have a custom Hyperlight rom installed.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
thankyou.

Press and hold the power button to restart it. Does it still reboot into the Download mode?
If yes, then try and install a stock ROM.

thnks buddy but when i hold the power button it does what i explained in the above reply when i hold power vol down and home the warning screen comes up informing me that a custom rom can cause critical problems etc so when i press down to cancel it goes back to the previously mentioned screen but when i press up to install rom it goes into odin mode with the android robot with
product name blank (previosly it stated gt i9300t)
custom binary download no (previously stated4)
current binary samsung official (said something different before)
system settings custom
i swear this is doing my head in :0

Basics as its very difficult to understand your posts .
Download mode first screen vol up .
Open Odin
Load firmware file as PDA
Connect USB cable
First box in Odin should show yellow then hit start .
Note at what point fails .

hi again
i tried it again and now it says there is no pit partition ???
who wants a samsung s3 brick b4 it goes into the trash ???
antway thnx buddy this rooting is not fr me :0

Put it on ebay just say what the problem is .
Someone who reads your post will come to the conclusion its just a user who has not followed the instructions annd may think its worth a cheap buy .
Odin is not firmware CF Root is not firmware .
jje

Make sure that uve downloaded the correct CF-Root file (for i9300T and NOT i9300)... I think its nothing to do with SDS... Anyway try the following link and download the package again...

Hope it works....

Galaxy s2 is stuck on a screen with mobile and computer it wont start up

i tried to root my galaxy s2 but odin said operation failed and then my phone started showing a small pic on upper left corner of phone with mobile, computer and a small yellow triangle. My phone does not start up. I tried to connect it with kies but an error" Device not responding. To resolve the issue please, reboot the device " comes up on computer. I tried putting it back in download mode which did not worked as well. Any advice/suggestion will be helpfull as i m fairly new to android and my phone seems like useless. Please............
If you can't get into download mode then you have a problem. Does recovery work?
Also need more detail like firmware you were on, what file you flashed and what you put where in odin.

Just quick update that i got successfull in putting the phone in download mode
(Build number : Gingerbread.DUKJ1, Baseband version : I9100TDUKJ1) i used odin 3v 1.85 then tried to flash with kernal available on http://www.megaupload.com/?d=3N191PVU which is given in xda developer forum link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1331784 and followed indtructions where it says chapter 1 but activity 1.3 ( If you are not rooted yet: Flash a modified FACTORYFS). I am able to get back in download mode but i have no idea what to do now any suggestions please. Thanks in advance.
Thats a Galaxy Note yes .
which is given in xda developer forum link http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1331784

As JJE pointed out, it seems like you are trying to flash a root kernal for a different device. You need cf root for Galaxy S2. If you can find it flash it as you did the first time and it might boot. If not you will need to flash a full firmware in Odin.

I seem to have exactly the same problem mentioned in this thread. I see a Mobile to Computer icon with a yellow ! icon between them when I try to open the phone in download mode
I cant get to download mode yet. I was using ODIN 3 to flash and USB had gotten disconnected when NAND write start ! was mentioned on ODIN.
Anything I can do to get my phone back up ? Appreciate your help here.

I9100G update failure.

Dear All,
I'm in a critical situation,My device is totally stopped working when I have tried to flash a custom ROM (I9100GJPKH8_i9100GDZKH5) to my Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100G but the process failed and can't go further even I'm not able to restart my device the only option to restart is to remove the battery and once i do that i got message telling me that "software update fail" and it won't allow me to go to ODIN menu.
I have searched the net for the original ROM for my device model but with no luck ( Original ROM is: I9100gzcki1_i9100gozhki1_chn)
I seek your help in order to get my device back to work.
Thank you
So you can't enter in recovery-mode? Do u have a USB-JIG?
Check this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1457458
Yeah, I'm not able to go to recovery mode.
what is USB-JIG?
Thanks for reply
I think u will be able to get into download mode. Try to get in there and download a custom rom for I9100G and not I9100 understand and flash using Odin. Hope it will help u.

I don't think u can get a USB Jig fast. U need to buy it from eBay. Between Wer u from?

OK. If you can get into download mode (turn phone off. Then hold down the home button & the volume down button. Keep holding these down then hold down the power button), go to Sammobile & download a I9100G stock rom & flash this in Odin following whatever instructions Sammobile have for flashing stock roms downloaded from there.
If you can't get into download mode there's a slim chance a jig might get you into download mode.
There's a thread over in the General section where people have offered to let other people use their jigs. You might want to have a look at that thread & see if there's someone close to you who might be able to help you out rather than you buying a jig on eBay & waiting for it to turn up in the mail.
You can diy one.

If you tried to flash a custom rom ANYTHING other than Juffo rom based on DZJk2 for Gingerbread on a I9100G using odin and you cannot get into download mode... you probably soft bricked your phone.
Buy a USB-jig (basically a microUSB connected to a resistor, there are multiple videos on Youtube you can make one urself or order it online)
Insert the USB-jig into the phone while its powered off, and you should be able to get into download mode automatically.
Go find the original Stock rom and flash it back and look up how to properly backup/and root your device + using custom rom.
There are not many I9100G roms out there, theres the Juffo Rom and the Dark rom for "ICS experience" if i am correct, someone can correct me on this.
** if a USB jig does not turn your phone on or boot into download mode... and your phone is powered off... you hard bricked the phone, and should go see a JTAG service to unbrick your phone.
Galaxy rom rc3 works great. Try out with Lucifr 1.21kernel.

The hardware problem is between your ears .
One this is DEVELOPMENT post in Q&A .
Two you have followed instructions from XX forum why not ask them for advice .
Three are you sure you have i9100 phone as that PIT is not for this phone .
Likewise did you flash i9100 firmware .
You have a bricked phone .
Can you get to download mode if so flash a stock GB rom from stock rom thread to get the phone working .
No download mode two choices find a JTAG repair it will be cheaper than a Samsung repair . Alternative take to Samsung service and hope they dont charge but repair under warranty .

Here was mistake, Important! Do not touch any other button or make any other changes in Odin except selecting the required file as given in step 8. Why did you touch PIT button???
Pit.
When you flash tar you must not set pit for flashing. Remove battery for hour or more than put it back ,try to go in download mode , if that doesnt work find some usb jig to help you put the phone in download mode.
I'm sorry because posted here...and I thank you for you answer.
You may have right about the way I put the PIT file
can you please tell me where I can get the JTAG repair?

efs galaxy s3 the GT-I9503T

Staff nice day
I have a Galaxy GT-I9305T this week upgraded it to 4.1.2 jelly bean was running everything normal poren tried to make root with CF-Root-v6.4-SGS3 he made a mistake and did not root, but when the device restart was no sign of the operator, gave a searched on the net I found people saying it could be that the file was damaged IMEI did another pot root file CF-Root-Auto-m3-gti9305t.tar worked m3dv-installed the Root Explorer 2.20.1 I checked the folder efs, unfortunately I have no backup of it, is she recovers? if you like I do? and the IMEI is to recover?
Is your IMEI the same as under the battery ??
If not flash stock rom with Odin .
Still wrong IMEI take to Samsung service dont bother reading the ten million exact same posts .
I9305 question and answers forum for your phone .

staff did a procedure that a friend posted on another Foum and now the machine operator's fate with this however if you try to make a connection he says he is not registered on the network, and when I type * # 06 # IMEI he brings me the 0/00 what I did was the procadimento
Retrieving IMEI and data connection after flashing package root WRONG I9305 Intended for:
Make sure you have the Samsung Kies or Samsung USB Driver installed on your PC.
Download and extract: Odin3 3.04.zip for your PC, if you have not already.
Download and extract: Param_Bin_I9305.zip for your PC.
With the phone turned off, press and hold: + 'Volume Down' HOME '+' POWER 'to enter Download Mode.
Connect your phone to PC via USB cable and start Odin.
Make sure your phone is connected to see if a COM port in a blue box is present in ID: COM.
Press the "PDA" and select the "Param_Bin_I9305.tar.md5 'file that you extracted the ZIP file before.
Press the 'Start' button and wait for it to finish flashing. If successful, you will see a green box with "PASS!".
Wait for your phone to reboot then go to the Dialer and press: * # 06 #. You should now see your IMEI and your data connection will be back.

as advised, when you are on download mode, flash a stock rom(download official F/W from www.samfirmware.com)
**to get into recovery mode (vol. up+ home+power) when the samsung logo once disappears, you need to release power button and hold on vol. down and home buttons.
