Hey guys.
I have a GT- i9300, I rooted it in odin with CF root, no worries, installed foxhounds Rom with SiyahKernel. All was fine for a few weeks. My phone then randomly shut down one day and would not boot. (had not installed any 3rd party apps, custom upgrades or anything for a few days).
My phone now only boots to the Samsung splash screen. Will not boot into recovery mode either. Download mode still works
So i tried to re flash the kernel through odin but I get an error "no PIT partition"
Tried flashing a stock Firmware through odin, same error.
Tried flashing CWM again through Odin, same error,
Tried flashing CF root again in Odin, same error.
Any ideas please help???
I have looked all over the net for two days now and found some people with same problem but they have not fixed it yet.
Would a 3-part firmware work in Odin? If so I have downloaded countless ones only to find they are the single .tar file
3 part works via Odin.

Any idea where I can get one from? Every Rom I download is only the one .tar file.

Hey Man, I have been searching the net for days now and trying countless different things in Odin but still no Luck. From what I have read if we can find a 3-part firmware +pit file and we flash them through Odin and tick re-partition it should fix it.
Problem being I cant find one, I have asked on other forums and asked Intratech himself but no response yet. If I figure it out though I'll let you know and you do the same for me hey?

hey, no luck for me so far. I am from Taiwan. I have found 5-part stock firmware, which has pit, bootloader, phone, csc, PDA. But it gave me another error: Re-partition operation failed. It seems the partition table has been crashed.
I have returned it for repair(distributor), and I was told that the phone needs to replace the mainboard. And since they told me I have tried to install custom firmware or software, I no longer have the warranty. The fee is unacceptable high, almost half price of the phone.
I will take my phone back and send it to Samsung repair center. Wait and see if any different solutions Samsung can provide me.
I am still looking for other possible solutions, and if I found one, I definitely will share it with you.
The worse thing is the hardware damage. Hope it is not....
Hi,
I'm having the exact same issue...
It happened me after installing CM10 Prev. #4.. I tried to make a phone call to test the sound problem. and suddenly it rebooted into a boot-loop.
After that I tried to re flash the .zip file to get it booting again but i couldn´t even get into {install zip from internal SD Card]
Then i tried to go back to stock with Odin but didn't work..
Tried to repartition with different .pit files on different pc's with different OS. but nothing helped..
I'm planning on returning it too. I hope they will repair it...
i'll let you know and looking forward to hear something from you.
I ended up taking mine back and it got replaced under warranty

You have no choice! Try every pits you got, you might get another error : Re-partition operation failed...
So far, I believe that is hardware damage, and there is nothing you can do but send it back for repair(replacement).
If you have run triangle away before the phone crashed, then you are lucky, You might get replacement under warranty.
I did that before broken. There was no counter, but showed custom rom in download mode.
So it is hard to judge if I flash custom rom or not. The second time I sent my phone back to same repair center, they finally did replacement for me for free.
Good luck to you, and hope it is not hardware damage.

many thanks for really complete answer brother.
tried to flash stock firmware.after 2 minutes odin said there is no pit partition.
again tried and this time with PIT file, happened what you expected ,it said Re-Partition operation failed.:crying::crying:
luckily i don't have yellow triangle and in download mode it says samsung official.so i think it's better to send it to a warranty service center.
another question i have is why does this problem appear ?
i just connected phone to the charger and slept for 1 hour.when i woke up saw samsung logo on phone and it happened what you know.

thanks for responses brothers.
i tried 5 different pit files and one of them was GT-I9300_mx_20120329.pit.
it didn't help.actually when inserting pit file in odin it says Re-partition operation failed. and when pit place in odin is empty it says there is no PIT partition.
i tried to flash 3 part stock rom,same result.
tried those methods with odin 3.04 and odin 1.85, both of them gave me same result.:crying::crying:
If you always search a 3 parts firmware, try this one:
http://hotfile.com/get/159511026/500faffb/47a90c3/I9300XXALE8_I9300OJVALE7_FWD.zip without and with pit file
(morocoo CSC i think), just in order to test if it's works.
If it is, you'll flash your firmware (CSC THR) here:
http://hotfile.com/get/164216390/500fb0d0/c94977c/I9300XXBLFB_I9300OJVBLF3_THR.zip
If don't work, use warranty...
Just letting you know that i had the Exact same problem.
When trying to flash (when in download mode) it would always error when trying to get the PIT information.
Nothing would work, besides from download mode. When trying to hard reset, it would get to the logo screen and immediately turn off.
It was rooted + cmw + no triangle away. So it could be easily seen that it rooted
I took it back to warranty.
It was a fault motherboard. That was the issue. They replaced it and re-flashed with stock os.
And it was covered under warranty (the best part).
Same I issue I think
Hi. I think I have the same problem with my unrooted, stock S3. (unbranded UK)
Just suddenly apopeared with the grey battery with the static "O" symbol in it, and when booting doesn't get past the first Samsung screen.
Can get into recovery mode, when trying Odin with XXBLG8 stock ICS ROM, I get the "no PIT partition" error.
Please tell me my phone isn't dead :crying:...
Cheers

Hello everyone,
Hoping you can help me before my mrs cuts my nuts off. She asked me to update her GS2 (GT-I9100 on 02) and completly wipe the phone as she has had random apps appear etc etc.
I said that wouldnt be a problem as ive done alot on my GS3, though i am still pretty new to the Android scene (Previously iPhone).
So she was on Stock 4.0.4 XXLQ6 firmware.
I followed the guide to root from here as i was aware of the hardbrick bug in this firmware.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1501719
After that it was time for the Wipe data etc and flash the new rom. I chose JELLYBAM as its Android 4.2 with a mix of other things. Sounded perfect.
I followed all the steps EXACTLY from the Devs page:
http://www.igio90.net/how-to-install/
All seemed to be going well at first, got to select afew options etc. Then it said it was Extracting the package...This is were the problems started.
It was stuck at 2% for AGES, then out of the blue the screen just went BLACK/BLANK......Hmmmm i thought!
I have since been trying to source info from everywere about how to turn the phone back on but having no luck at all. I have tried all the Soft/Hard boot methods, ive left it on charge (Yes it gets hot near the camera) and tried all boot methods whilst plugged into laptop with ODIN loaded up.
Nothing seems to be working.
Any help what so ever will be much appreciated. This device was never previously rooted. Im gutted a it was all going so well...I shoulda guessed something would go wrong.

Are you able to enter download mode? If you can make sure you have samsung drivers installed! Also JellyBam rom is not only for i9100 but other models too, are you sure you had the right rom? If you can't enter downlaod mode then try a USB jig?

Thank you for your reply, Unfortunatly i cannot enter any mode what so ever. The phone is literally dead...yet getting VERY hot as its plugged in.
Was thinking about taking it in to O2 2mora and seeing what they can do. Damn.
If your still under warranty you should get a new motherboard.They won't be able to tell you've rooted it since it seems hard bricked.
Next time,get a custom kernel on it a.s.a.p and backup efs and make a nand backup before you start flashing roms.
Either that or stay away from 4.0.4 stock.

Thanks for your reply, I did put a custom kernal (Sirayh?) on it prior.
The phone was a year old august just gone! Not sure Samsung be interested.
See if you can get your hands on a usb jig.If that fails try for a jtag.
Samsung warranty should be 24 months if you need it.

So you did a wipe on a Samsung 4.0.4 ROM with original kernel? Then you have indeed hardbricked your phone. You said you were aware of this bug, so I can't figure out why you would do a wipe?

No i changed the kernal, but followed the guide posted by DEV to install the ROM. Guessing i made a mistake somewere down the line as the phone is bricked!!
JIG & JTAG....will these help solve my problem? Not really clued up on them though i have done a brief look around. JTAG services is not in my area.
NO, on hardbricked S2 JIG/JTAG won't be useful. You can check my thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1756242 for more info.
PS : the direct signs of this kind of hardbrick is a totally dead phone & back side getting hot (near the camera lens)

Just took it to a repair store and he said its knackered, but to be honest he wasnt much help...more interested in the texts he was getting on his phone!.....Typically a GS2...Im still pondering if he was taking the micky :silly:
if your s2 is still under warranty, just take it to the reapir service and tell them that the phone was on charge all night and didn't wake up in the morning
they won't be able to know what you did to it since it's completely unaccessible. If you successfully convince them, they'll change the motherboard !
PS : That isn't my idea but from what I saw in the hardbrick warning thread, most of the concerned people did the same trick ...

Yeah i think this is the route imgoing to have to take Just spoke with them regards my GS3 and they said itll be 2 weeks to repair and return. No phone for 2 weeks
I just got off the phone with Samsung and they are taking it in for repair. No local service centers so im awaiting a jiffy bag. Then 2 weeks to get the phone back!
Plese, need help, tried to downgrade firmware from 4.0.4 to 4.0.3 using Odin and now i'm getting an error: android.process.acore has stopped, and can't really do anything.
is there anything I could do now or is my phone bricked?

Please be more specific if you expect anybody to bother to help you.
When you say "can't really do anything" that doesnt tell us what you have tried and not tried!
1) Can you enter recovery mode?
2) Can you enter download mode?
3) Have you tried a USB Jig?
4) Have you removed battery for 30 mins?
5) What happens when you power on phone?

Sorry.
1) Yes
2) Yes
3) trying to find now what it is
4) For 30 mins no, for few minutes - yes
5) It starts and then i got some errors memo.process, process.acore and few others (can't remember now). I can get email, explore through home screens and menus, but can't call, receive calls, write messages, look up contacts or memos and stuff only going through screens. Maybe I could do a hard reset or wipe the phone, but then won't i brick my phone?
EDIT: As user Pilaf suggested (thanking him a lot!) I installed a new siyha kernel then did a full wipe / factory reset, seems everything is backing up from google account and phone is working..
So you're telling me that the official 4.0.4 has a hardbrick bug? Well that's great.
Should I just wait for the official 4.1 or can I flash for example the Siyah kernel and then start flashing other ROMs?

Hi,
I'm starting this thread because I can't seem to find anyone on here/the whole internet that seems to have had a similar problem.
I've got a UK unlocked Samsung Galaxy S3 GT I9300 in pebble blue 16GB. I bought it pretty much when it came out and was pretty happy with it. I updated it to JellyBean 4.1.1 via KIES last year when it came out (October/November?) and again was pretty happy with it.
Unfortunately despite being super OCD over my devices I managed to crack the screen. I sent it off to a Samsung repair centre and they changed the screen out for a hefty price. Phone came back and it hadn't been wiped or factory reset etc.
Then in December last year, I think it was the 12th, I got the Sudden Death. Phone was close to full charge in pocket for a few hours, took it out to make a call, wouldn't turn on. So I took it into the shop and they sent it away to be fixed. Got it back about 10 days later, working, factory reset to 4.1.1.
So when I got it back I noticed that 4.1.2 I9300XXELL4 firmware was out. I downloaded that and Odin and flashed the BTU firmware for unbranded UK devices. All seemed to go totally fine, phone has been working ok since.
Once small problem I have had since as long as I can remember is that in about phone, under status, the device status changes from normal to modified all the time. It turns out this has something to do with my 64GB EXFAT micro SD Card though. I found a few people with similar problems and thought nothing more of it.
Now however, I've noticed the 4.1.2 firmware with the exynos abuse fix and MAYBE sudden death fix was out, so I'm pretty interested in flashing it. Anyway I came to flash it and thought I'd check to make my custom binary count etc was as it should be. Turns out its not! I've got custom binary download YES (2 counts). Current Binary SAMSUNG OFFICIAL and System Status OFFICIAL. So I'm just a bit perplexed as to how this has happened? Can this happen without rooting and just flashing stock firmware? Or has it been modified/rooted when its been aware for repair to Samsung? I'm just a little bit perplexed/annoyed that I've made sure I've always kept it stock so that its protected by the warranty etc as I've been an early adopter and have to keep it for 2 years. Yet here I am without any of the benefits of rooting yet I've technically voided my warranty and haven't actually done anything?
So just hoping for some thoughts on what could have caused this? Also, is my only option to remove this to ironically root, triangle away, stock flash/factory reset/unroot? I would like to flash this new I9300XXELLA firmware if its got potential fixes but I don't want to add to that binary counter if flashing through Odin unrooted is going to do this. Obviously KIES won't do it anymore as it thinks it's modified.
Hope you guys can help, any thoughts are appreciated!
Many thanks in advance.
UPDATE - Have just flashed using Odin the I9300XXELLA firmware found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646610 Phones working fine and it hasn't added to the custom binary download counter. Still shows: YES (2 Counts)
ELLA is really smoother than rest of firmwares. If i was you i would.
1. Root with Cf root
2. Run triangleaway
3. Go into download mode and check if its official binary stock sammy 0 counts.
4. Remove battery.
5. Download odin 1.85
6. Downlload xxella
7. Flash xxella as PDA.
8 .wipe data in stock recovery

Could you link me to them? I really couldn't find them for the i9300 that's never been rooted.
Endrit9, thanks I think that's my best bet. I've flashed ELLA already, can I still root with CFroot?

Yes it should work then run triangleaway check download mode. Flash lla wipe data good luck but if u bought the phone and live in europe theres nothing to worry about.

The 4.1.2 firmware you flashed via Odin is not officially signed by samsung( this is what i read I'm not 100% sure) This causes your counter to increase.

Thanks I'll check out the root threads and give it a go. I live in UK, I bought the phone on a contract here but it's unbranded, I just got an O2 sim with it. Will this still be valid for warranty?
Thanks unitnerd. I didn't realise it might not be signed. Although thinking about it now I imagine it's probably because they're compiled by someone else after it comes out of KIES.

same problem its so confusing
it's an international version. GT-I9300, never been rooted or flashed with custom rom. the rom has been stock since day 1.
anyway, i was using it just fine then suddenly i found it stuck at the Galaxy S3 boot screen, tried pulling batt out, restart, etc and nothing works.
Recovery mode doesn't work too, stuck at the boot screen
odin mode isnt much better, gives me the option to flash rom or restart phone. Restarting phone brings me back to square 1. flashing rom and it stays there forever.

Choice flash stock rom through Odin or take to a service centre .
jje
since just 1 day just send to service center
else download firmware from sammobile website and flash using odin
*make sure you install samsung kies because it also install samsung usb driver, you need the usb driver to use odin
Bin it..
Throw in bin go back to wildfire s..failing that give self a hand job..good luck with either decision xX
i'm trying to get a new phone since there's a MMC bug thing.
I downloaded this app to check whether my phone is affected by this mem bug and turns out i was. but the problems never manifested itself until a few mths ago and last night was the worst.

i feel like introducing it to my new friend, the hammer
Samsung Service Center , claim the warranty,, u got new motherboard lol and sudden death fixed
Does flashing the stock rom via odin delete all the data on the phone?
I've some voice recordings i wish to recover.
If i were to flash the stock rom, do I have to flash the original rom? Does it get back the internal memory?
or if I flash some custom rom, can I get back the internal memory?

If you've been hit with SDS, which looks likely, flashing stock rom won't work. TBH I think any data that's on the phone is gone completely. Sorry.

One presumes then that you did not have SDS and motherboard did not need replacing .

No but i bet Google does .

Hey guys, so my mate had a S3, its only rooted, only 2 weeks ago he said it doesn't power on. I had a look at it and its seems its got the SDS.
The device can go into download load, but when I tried to install a stock ROM with Odin it says pit needed, or something like that. Any help? I'm free to answer any questions
Thanks guys

I did, I've been using Odin for ages on my S3. I only used the tar file that came from the extracted firmware package, so I don't know why Odin requires the pit files, its leading me to think that the emmc is gone and the mainboard needs to be replaced, I hope its not though, so can anyone else help me?

There have been many cases recently with the Pit problem and to my knowledge none of them was able to revive their device. Was it a SDS that caused the problem? I don't know. How did it happen in the first place? Did he experience performance problems with his device or sudden reboots before it happened?
Also what about the flash counter in Download mode? Does it say Samsung official?

Yes he was getting performance issues, and yes binary says official but system status says custom.

Looks like a Sudden Death to me
The custom System Status could void his warranty but not necessarily, depends on the service center.

Concerning your binary counter and status look ["http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1930418&page=31"]
I had the same problem and solved it with this solution.
