did you try to flash S3's firmware?
So, I open Odin. Go to download mode on my device, connect with usb. Odin says: "<ID:0/004> Added!!"
Then I insert on PDA the .tar.md5 firmware file (I9300XXEMC2_I9300ITVEMC1_I9300XXEMC2_HOME.tar).
Then I click START, the screen of the device blinks once but odin says:
<ID:0/004> Added!!
<OSM> Enter CS for MD5..
<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..
<OSM> Please wait..
<OSM> I9300XXEMC2_I9300ITVEMC1_I9300XXEMC2_HOME.tar.md5 is valid.
<OSM> Checking MD5 finished Sucessfully..
<OSM> Leave CS..
<ID:0/004> Odin v.3 engine (ID:4)..
<ID:0/004> File analysis..

<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)

And nothing has changed..Ok? Thank you
1.
Remember differences between prototype/sample and retail devices...
So check if your device is retail... remove battery look on label...
"Not for sale" or something similar could be on label...
2.
Bootloader... maybe for Tizen Special Bootloader...
I have read short something about this somewhere forgotten...
Because Tizen is cra...
So the Question is, if you can generally update your Tizen devices with Tizen for instance...
Or you have never tried... Maybe other problem...
3.
Maybe better or safer choice is to use your Tizen devices with Tizen...
There are different Versions available... instead risk to brick your Tizen device, by stupid mistake.
4.
You could sell your Tizen device.

Made in Korea by Samsung
Can you help me? I will not sell the device, they was gift to me..
As you know I am Android Idiot... never used Odin... nor flashed any Android handset...
But I know little bit about Security problems with Bootloader...
Short Google search, because I have forgotten where I saw instruction on Tizen site...
https://wiki.tizen.org/wiki/OSDev/Flashing_to_device
Code:
Download the [B]lthor[/B] tool for [B]Linux[/B] PCs available at download.tizen.org/tools/lthor-tool/
Maybe Tizen handsets have special secured and locked only for Tizen devices...
So again...
You can update Tizen Firmware on your S3 ?
Never tried ?
Best Regards
I think partitions are not the same (Tizen and Android)
If you want to risk ... try to flash the pit file
Please... better sell Tizen device or share with Tizen Developers...
Instead doing brainless stxpid tests...
First official Tizen devices end 2013... beginning 2014...
Tizen Developer could develop for Tizen... :angel:
Also more usefull... in my eyes... dump Bootloader or whole memory from S3...
Maybe then more chance to port to S8500/S8530/S8600...
If you need S3 with Android... buy S3.
Or maybe some S3 user would exchange...

Yes I updated Tizen Firmware ih this device today, so it isn't blocked.
I wont sell them because they are gift to me and I'm so correct with this.
Okidoki, if Tizenupdate success... then maybe Tizen Bootloader is secured to Download only Tizen stuff...
No idea...
If someone has Bootloader of Tizen or dumped Tizen Bootloader... We could maybe check...
Btw.
Found this about "Not for sale"... only as info.

He wants to Flash Android on Galaxy S3 RD (Tizen),
and Tizen can run android apps only with Polaris App Player
AFAIK there is uboot working on this device, and it does not support ODIN. It does support THOR and might support fastboot. On legacy I9300 you will find SBOOT.
Dump dat stuff. Google for howtos.

From tizen.org:
"For the Tizen platform, the boot loader
comes in two parts. The first part is the primary boot loader and the second part is the
secondary boot loader. The primary boot loader is the Samsung proprietary boot loader and is
also called s-boot. The secondary boot loader is the open source boot loader u-boot, which is
customized further for the Tizen platform. "
UPDATE:
This is the files that are in the System of the device, as you can see there is u-boot and s-boot. But how to launch s-boot and not u-boot bootloader?
https://www.dropbox.com/home/Public/Tizen_RD-PQ_System_20130423_1
Can you find the command list to open s-boot bootloader in s-boot-mmc.bin file? Thank you
Hi, Had you see these files?
Thanx, I am not registered on Dropbox...
I can not download...

This rom is primarily for UK unlocked devices (BTU) but it will work in any other country code.
ROM version-JRO03H.***** XXALJL
Baseband- XXALJL
Csc-BTU I8190OXXALJ8
This is a full Uk firmware rooted.
Download the rom an odin from the provided link and unzip it .
Put your phone into “Download mode” by Shutting down your device ,the press and hold Home button+Volume-down+Power Button, once you get to the screen with a yellow triangle press “volume Up”.
Connect your device to the pc…
Open odin and select “ Pda” and browse to the location of the “rooted.tar” now press start in odin.
Flashing will take about 10 minutes.
Rom will not void your warranty nor will wipe your data, will not increase your download binary count er either.
Firmware has been tested in 2 devices, but I will not be responsible for any damage cause by it or from it. As always flash it at your own risk.

What are the advantages of flashing a rom designed for your country code/service provider?
Well for one you’re rom VERSION and CSC CODE will match therefore when there are official updates from Kies you should be able to just update.
Flashing a rom that was not made for your specific country code will work ,but you may find that your battery will drain faster, wireless performance is degraded etc ,this is because every rom made for a country id/provider also has a matching modem/baseband included, mess with that and you may find that your device will not perform as intended.
Some people may say: “I will flash any rom then just flash my country id/provider modem and that’s the problem fixed”
NO. Specific radios work specific matched (SYS)roms ( rill files) etc.
The rule is, your Baseband version should match the Build number, like so:
Baseband version-*****XXALJL
Build number- ******.*****XXALJL
Thanks to Avicohh, for all his advice and KEN for providing the devices!
Disclaimer:
If you don’t know what I’m talking about above I suggest you leave your device alone and do some research before attempting to flash it.
Firmware has been tested in 2 devices, but I will not be responsible for any damage cause by it or from it. As always flash it at your own risk.

Thanks for your work.
I was wondering what are the optimizations this ROM brings to the official one except rooting?
Well im not from UK, im from Macedonia but my baseband and build number are xxajlj, so i can flash without problems?

Does ODIN recognize your phone? It should show something like 0:[COMxx] at the top left box (green colored).
If not you need to install drivers (KIES from samsung)

Yes, ODIN recognizes the phone (COM8) in second row first box from the left.
Kies/Drivers are installed.
Try another USB port with another cable if u have one, and exit kies because Odin & kies don't get along if running together. Try that see if that helps.
Sent from my GT-I8190 using xda premium
Worked perfectly with Romanian SGS3 Mini with the same baseband as in picture and the same info :good: Thank you :laugh:
Thanks for the ROM, it is the same as mine in Czech Republic
PDA - I8190XXALJL
PHONE- I8190XXALJL
CSC- I8190OXXALJ8
Well I hope it is the one, because you named the file that way (you have no CSC in the original post).
I also downloaded the original (unrooted rom) from the sammobile site.
The strange thig is that after flashigng with Odin both of these ROMs report
CSC: Unknown
Everything works, so I am not complaining but I am just curios as to why.
Thanks again for the rooted rom!
Thank you! I'm gonna try this right after I get the courage to flash my 3 day old phone
I'm using your V2 rom, had no problems so far only that software update won't allow it says that phone has been modified, will this ROM cure this problem?
Sorry for the noob question

I posted my problem on androidcentral earlier today, I'm not progressing anywhere with my situation, I've copied my original posts with some edits here. If you need more information for helping me to resolve this dilemma, ask right away.
I'm in deep****. It started when i tried changing the fonts on my galaxy s3, simple install and reboot. Now when it rebooted it got stuck on the Metro PCS logo screen, I turned it off and turned it on again, and same problem. Then I tried flashing my g3 with odin it said pass, but now my model number has disappeared from the samsung boot screen and it still has the same problem prior; before it said Samsung Galaxy S3 SGH-T999N, but now it just shows Samsung Galaxy S3. Prior to all this my phone was already rooted. I'm a noob and I need help. All the details I remember about my phone is that the carrier is Metro PCS, the model is SGH-T999N (a t-mobile variant) and the OS was Jellybean 4.1.2.
Thankyou for reading, please reply soon its urgent.
*Extra notes, I tried booting it up into recovery mode it shows splash screen for a brief moment and then completely turns off. It is still able to go in to download mode, also when the phone is completely off and charged in, the battery charging animation is still normal/unchanged before all this happened.
*Additional notes, when in download mode the information at the top left corner reads as:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SGH-T999N
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: Yes (3 counts)
CUSTOM BINARY: Custom
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE

*Edit, Could you also give me a detailed guide as to how I could reset it with Kies? I'm not sure if it will work or not, because in my first postt, if it wasn't clear, I think I used the wrong .tar which made the model number under the samsung boot screen, disappear.

you should first try the KIES method. following the guide, since you have mentioned it earlier, if that fails
Than you need to locate the original Stock ROM for SGH T999N to flash using Odin3 version 3.04 and up ( sometimes if you use wrong version or a poor USB connection ( wrong USB cable) , you could end-up with problem you had posted), as others meant for variants may not be compatible with yours that why its important you seek help in the S3 forum, for someone may have the same unit you have and may know where you can download it. You can Post in that forum, for help or search that forum for relevant info regarding your particular variant.

Denial: “Oh, no problem, I’m rooted!”
Anger: "Darn that Verizon."
Bargaining: “I’ll downgrade to Kit-Kat, if it will unlock my bootloader.”
Depression: “No CM-13? I can’t go on!”
Acceptance: “Next time I’ll do more research before buying a new phone.”
A list of common mistakes that cause boot loops or worse on stock ROM
Flashing TWRP, CWM, or Philz
Flashing a Custom ROM*
Flashing a Custom Kernel*
Flashing X-posed*
Flashing just about anything*
Uninstall System App
Uninstall System Priv-App
Convert System App to User App
Convert User App to System App
Uninstall System App That Was a User App But Got Converted To System App By User
Install a Font
Install a Bootanimation
TOUCHING ANYTHING THAT SAYS (ODEX)
Tweaking the Kernel*
Un-tweaking the Kernel*
This list could go on for a while, but I think you get the point:
*Without proper knowledge, see below.
Don't worry, there are options. Keep scrolling.
Mistakes that can cause a Hard brick:
1. Trying to downgrade your bootloader so you can unlock it and flash TWRP and install CM13
______________________________________________________________
Please try this first, before posting a HHEEELLLPP! thread.
If you are soft-bricked(boot loop):
Instructions:
Download firmware here: Firmware/Odin
Extract (unzip) the firmware file
Open Odin3 v3.10.7 (Other versions included JIC)
Boot device into Download Mode:
With the device powered down, press and hold Power & Volume Down buttons.
When warning appears, release and press Volume up to Enter Download (Odin) Mode.
Connect device and wait until you get a blue tab in Odin, upper left below ID:COM
Click the AP button and navigate to the extracted firmware and select it. Odin will verify the md5. This may take a little while.
Once verified click the start button. Sit back and wait. When finished you will see "PASS" and phone will reboot:
JOY
If you are Hard-bricked (unresponsive, not recognized by Odin):
NO JOY
See your local VZW dealer.
Or you could try this:

First of all try the NOBL.tar.md5 alternative from above. Are you trying to extract from the zip? you don't need Winrar for that.

Hey AnggaKun,
I'm not sure if this is your issue but I had a firmware extraction / zip issue..and could not figure it out. I tried on multiple machines until I narrowed down the problem. I had *BAD MEMORY* chip! I had to replace the memory and *VOILA* problem went away... Not sure if that is your issue.

Hello,
i have the same thing like you. But im not a developer. Do you have any update about links to ROM or something? Many thanks.
Don't know if anyone still cares or is tinkering around with this, but I came into possession of a touchscreen display board with the AD-Z05 SoC ARM board.
For everyone's info, the AD-Z05 is made by SunChip and designed to be used by OEMs for various things. If you've ever tried hunting down info about it like I did, you'll find very little documentation about it besides this board overview:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Note the "Update" button, located next to the power jack. This is our key to getting into the recovery environment. I haven't found a consistent method for getting it to work, but what seems to work most of the time is holding down the update button, connecting the power source, pressing the Power On/Off button, then waiting until the default android recovery screen is up (should only take about 10 seconds tops.)
From this point, I'm stumped on what to do. ADB reports that the device is in recovery mode, I can get a basic shell and browse the ROM, even finding some factory test binaries, but that's about it. This wiki deals with the Rockchip CPUs and has some useful utilites, but the RkDevTool reports that my CPU doesn't match whatever ID it's expecting. Trying to reboot into fastboot or this "maskrom" mode freezes the utility. I've tried reaching out to the manufacturer to see if they have any documentation, I'll post back if I find anything.
Edit: Also see the official Rockchip wiki.

Hello:
I'm not a developer in the least bit, but I'm trying to find firmware for AD-X37. I've done some searching and thought this might be helpful for anyone who might understand the information: https://www.oschina.net/informat/linux下go语言开发
【GoRK3288】1.Rockchip RK3288, GO!GO!!GO!!! - OSCHINA - 中文开源技术交流社区
前言： 最近看了看Google的Go语言，发现有点意思，这个开源的项目准备用golang来实现。 其实开发板本身的驱动程序已经实现了各个功能，但是有的时候在使用中有些麻烦，有可能需要修改dts文件重新编译内核才能够使...
www.oschina.net
Also, maybe this information about maskrom mode from https://wiki.t-firefly.com/en/Firefly-RK3288/upgrade_table.html
Focus on: In Windows, When Linux upgrade to the Android5.1, how to enter Maskrom Mode:
Steps are as follows:
In AndroidTool_v2.58, click “Erase Flash”, this step is erase IDB, it can’t erase flash, so it will appear “erase flash failed”;
Reboot, in AndroidTool_v2.35, click “Erase Flash”, when it finish, the board will enter Maskrom Mode;
Click “Upgrade” to start burn the Android5.1 firmware.
Sorry if this is not helpful at all. Please keep us updated.
Thank you for the info, @jimlarson77! Did you happen to see any steps for backing up the flash before erasing?

I did not see any steps for backing up the flash before erasing. I attempted to flash firefly firmware(through the complete steps listed in that last link I sent about Maskrom, and everything went perfectly until the firmware was flashed. Now the board I tried it on won't power on(I'm aware now that the firmware was not the correct one).
If you would like to run some tests with a functional or non-functional board, I could let you play around with a few that I have.
Thank you for the offer @jimlarson77. My curiosity is only from an amerature hobbyist perspective; I'm curious if I can get my digital sign working and flashed, but otherwise I will just try to part it out.
