I was wondering if anyone could help me. My phone had froze and rebooted itself a couple of times which I didn't really think anything of until I replied to a text message and put the phone down, a couple of minutes later I saw out of the corner of my eye that the phone light had come back on. I'd noticed that the phone was rebooting itself again although this time it never got past the black boot screen with the "Samsung Galaxy S III" text in white on it.
My phone is rooted however I never bothered with custom ROM's etc. The only thing I did install was a volume hack package to increase the speaker volume as I kept missing calls because it was too quiet, this had been installed for months and I'd never had any problems with it.
The phone is running 'Stock Ice Cream Sandwich'.
Samsung told me that it sounds like the phone needs to be reflashed but because the phone had been rooted, they wouldn't touch it.
Is my phone now completely knackered? Is there anything I can do myself to get it to work again?
I might also add that I only have access to a Mac computer.
I'd be very grateful to anyone that could help me out as I'm now poor and can't really afford to lose the cash I paid out for this phone. :crying:
Thank you in advance. :good:
If you flashed a custom recovery when you rooted then you can reflash the latest stock rom for your country, read in general stickies how to do this. You should really have updated to this long ago, your phone is currently vulnerable to SDS.
If you have stock recovery then you need a pc with odin installed, I have no idea if this is possible with a mac.
The exact same thing happened to me a few months ago, the system partition just corrupted for no apparent reason - I just went to recovery and rolled back to a nandroid I'd made a few days earlier - it's been fine ever since.

If you have already rooted your phone, you can easily flash the latest firmware corresponding to your country. This is the same way.
Your data were backup on your computer for example? If it's, you can start by cleanning the phone and try to restart it. For that, go to Recovery (Volume Up + Home + Power buttons) and do a "Wipe data/wipe cache". (In the menu, you can move up and down with the two buttons Volume et Select an entry with the Power buttun (by pressing, no holding it).

CWM doesn't work anymore, I can only access the standard Samsung update thing (Volume down - power - home) I have no idea if I backed anything up to be honest, I just followed some instructions off this site to root it and it was months and months ago.

Before I get flamed or eaten up by people who I have so inconvenienced their day by creating a question that has been asked before, I have searched for this.
On the site, and on Google itself for a solution to my problem. So please bare with me and help me out, if you can.
I own an Optimus V. The phone is rooted, but it has no custom ROM installed onto it at all. I had the CM ROM manager, but that was it.
I wanted to factory reset my phone because I was having texting issues, so first thought to mind, lemme just go ahead and reset it. #stupid
Now, the LG logo flashes, fades away and then I am stuck at a black screen (the LCD is still on) and it doesn't go away. I have tried holding home button + volume down + lock button, and home button + volume up + lock button, and even when I press the camera button it occasionally turns on and off. All of the threads here about this issue are all from phones that had custom ROMs flashed onto them, and are all about getting the recovery onto the SD card and installing your ROM off the card.
I don't want that. I just want my phone to turn on again after its reset...
Please help
Also, some information I may have been missing:
The phone is rooted with Gingerbreak 1.2.
If this means anything, I received a replacement phone after September first due to a past issue, so I'm not sure if it has the newer screen or not. Also, I might have put recovery from Clockwork Mod. I'm not sure though, but as stated before, I have not installed any custom ROMs on to this phone.
I factory reset this phone a few months ago while rooted with the same options (although I didn't have the CM ROM manager...).
In other words, as far as I know, I probably did put recovery from Clockwork Mod. I really don't want to go out and buy a new phone
If your phone is just rooted and you do a factory reset it shouldn't hurt the phone at all, If your phone is rooted and have clock work mod installed and did a factory reset it shouldn't hurt the phone at all, when you do a factory reset to a phone all it is doing is erasing info, apps, contacts etc...its not deleting or restoring system files. Now you say that you did a factory reset and now there's a black screen and you can not go into clock work mod (cwm)? did you have cwm flashed from rom manager? I do not understand what you mean "I had the CM ROM manager, but that was it" Do you mean you had clock work mod or just rom manger? Sounds to me like you didn't have clock work mod on your phone at all, when you root your phone flash clock work mod, it can save alot of headaches, if you had cwm you could of just flashed a new custom rom. If you have a warranty for that phone just take it back and tell them it doesn't work and your having problems. I have taken my phone back a couple times at radio shack and it was soft brick and they didn't even notice. Sounds to me like its just a faulty phone that you bought (its normal it happens) nothing that you did at all, hope this helps

First of all: How did you "factory reset" your phone? And sorry to ask, but how can it be that you do not know if you have custom recovery or not? As far as I know the only way to factory reset the phone is to enter the custom recovery and choose the corresponding option, or to start the stock LG recovery which would do this automatically. So how can you not know after having reset which recovery did it?
Anyway, since you are stuck now, there seems no other possibility than unbricking your phone using kdz (please search in the sticky section) or getting it to service.
I assume he ment Factory reset from the options in the phone...settings/privacy/factory reset

O.k. ... in my (german) P500 this option - which I was not aware of until now - would have to be translated to "reset memory/storage", but not "factory reset" which I only knew from custom recovery. Anyway, in my opinion this should not be capable of bricking a device, because all it should do is delete the /data partition.
And even more it should under no circumstances be capable of corrupting the recovery partition... therefore I can only repeat my previous suggestions (assuming that accessing recovery is not working):
1) Try unbricking using kdz; or
2) Go to LG service.
Considering the description of the thread starter I would believe that the hardware is defective.
One other thing to the thread starter: What do you mean by "lock" button? The power button? The combo for accessing recovery is holding home+vol- and then pressing power until recovery starts. And what do you mean by "camera" button??? There is no such button on my P500 at least... And what does it mean when you say the device starts when pressing this "camera" button?
Mine says factory data reset, that's what I'm trying to understand why and how it bricked

Ok I know im a newbie...but went thru all the steps to root the device successfully
then I had 2.5 TWRP installed...i see the wipes there are two to perform before installing the cleanrom 2.0
so i go to do that..and I know the developer says to do a factory reset...but on 2.5 there is no button anymore to
do this..i looked thru each option..what am i doing wrong..so anyway, i do both wipes then chose the install
and clicked on cleanrom 2.0 ..it went thru a bunch of screens..and after a number of them nothing...so i waited 10
minutes...did a reboot and my device stayed on the opeing brilliant screen ...i could not even get into recovery to redo
the phone..i was ready to bring it back to swap it out as i bought it from costco..and would just play dumb
so I hooked it up to my power in car and that somehow made it turn off,, then i was able to go do a factory reset using
the backup and now phone is working..i'd still like to use clean rom..but kind of gunshy due to what happened...
anyone else care to shed some light...im sure it might have to do with not doing a factory reset...where is that option????
i see a factory reset in the list of options when i press power and vol down???? but i think they want the one in TWRP
Aroma installer may have frozen and didn't finish installing the Rom. Try it again. Make sure you verify the md5 just in case you got a bad download.

well i wouldnt be so sure,
I did an advanced wipe in TW recovery and wiped everything, then tried installing cleanrom 2.0. aroma froze at the first option and I cant get do anything, I cant hard reset. The lights at the bottom just flash. I let the battery die and now tried to get into recovery, just went to HTC screen, same thing. holding down any button just makes the capacitive buttons flash.
someone help out?
Edit: got into recovery with adb, should be good now
First, always check the MD5 checksum for any Rom, kernel, or mod that you intend to flash. It is a well documented issue that Aroma has a tendency to freeze up. Not always, but it does happen. I have flashed many roms, mods, and kernels from both the AT&T section, and the international section, and I have had smooth installs and freezes. If the phone is not responding, then press both the power button and the volume down button and hold them. When the capacitive buttons start flashing, keep holding the power and volumes buttons. Your phone will eventually reboot. When it does, keep holding the volume down button. It will take you into Hboot. If you miss it, power down the phone. Hold the power and volume down button to boot into Hboot. Select recovery and start over. When using Aroma installer use the volume keys and the power button to make your selections. This often helps prevent freezes, but not 100% of the time. It is something we just have to live with for now.

If the ROM were to blame, then everyone that flashed it would be bricked, which is clearly not the case. It is completely irresponsible to create a thread titled "rom x almost bricked my phone" and on top of that, you start your first sentence with, "Ok I know im a newbie". Especially with all the very well known Aroma issues on this phone which is independent of the ROM. OP, your thanks meter will probably stay at zero for a while.
Yeah do not blame cleanrom for something you did wrong. I'm running it right now and it is fantastic and perfect for what I want right now. And it installed without a hitch.

Not the rom. But aroma. Aroma installer is buggy
Bricking is like horseshoes. there is no close. you are bricked or not. A soft-bricking is a different story and the term brick is probably over used there too
As to wiping under TRWP 2.5.0.0, some options have been moved below the Advanced menu.
BTW, Cleanrom 2 is SWEET and worth the effort. Good luck
Hi,
BeforeI begin I would like to state the I have searched the forum for solutions but the ones i findthe person can get into DL mode the only one that is just like my issue doesnt show how ODIN worked for him. but anywho...
I have a Glaxy SGH-I717 and it is stuck at the "FIRMWARE UPGRADE ENCOUNTERED AN ISSUE. PLEASE SELECT RECOVERY MODE IN KIES & TRY AGAIN."
How this started was I newly installed Kies and tried to back it up, but by mistake started to upgrade it. not wanting to mess up the phone I let it run without the phone being in download mode. after a bit the upgrade failed and my phone was stuck at the error message screen above. to reboot the phone i have to remove the battery. pressing the button on turns it off but back on at the error screen. my computer makes the sound like it recognizes the phone but doenst show it in my computer. Kies just says connecting for awhile then stops.
Things I cant do with the phone
- get into download mode - when trying it goes the the press up or down button (ethier one goes to error screen)
- get into recovery mode - the samsung logo flashes for a second then goes to the error screen
things i have tried
- Using oding to flash ROM(tried two different files both from da_g for flashes)
each time odin states it failes at the write stage
- Kies emergency recovery (it freezes at 0% somtimes it says the phone is disconnected)
- Used one click fix program (made me click more then once)
I'am curently looking into trying the adb solution usind android sdk. just making the post here to see if anyone knew a easier solution to this.
Fixed
Problem is fixed, switched USB ports and found a different ROM to flash in ODIN. I now see why people love ODIN better then Kies

what ROM did you use? where can I find it? I have the same problem you had, except I was only trying to hard reset the sgh-i717 but the only option I could seem to get to was "A custom OS can cause critical problems in phone and installed applications. If you want to download a custom OS, press the volume up key......" etc This is my friends phone I was just trying to hard reset it because she forgot her pattern lock, so I downloaded a ROM and odin and when I attempted to flash it, it got to that error screen you had. It lets me get back to the previous screen but always goes back to firmware upgrade issue screen no matter if i choose up or down. :crying: I have flashed a couple phones before by following tutorials on the web. I though it was only giving me that option because the phone might have already been rooted, it never let me go to the wipe data menu. The instructions all said to hold volume up + home + power, it never did anything for me. I was only able to get to the custom OS screen by holding volume down and power button. you were able to get back to the ready to flash screen? Tried taking out the battery and turning off with power button always goes back to Firmware upgrade encountered. Please help if you can, if I am breaking some forum rules sorry! just need help! Am running windows xp, since the phone was loccked have no idea what it was running, just that its an att samsung galaxy note sgh-i717. it saysin odin mode, custom binary download: no, current binary : samsung official.
thank you!

I have read several forums searching for answers, no one ever stated that odin will still work while on the screen that said "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue..." pretty positive it flashed the lock screen background and the user settings that were on the lock screen are no longer there it had said something to the effect of " ____ password protected!" ill leave the blank up to your imagination. The user settings are gone but not the pattern lock! all I want to do is hard reset to eliminate the lock pattern lock???
Thanks

go to this site download pdr.tar there's a link for odin as well. GL
Hope this helps ^^
Sorry to rez such an old post but i broke screen on my current phone and needing another phone asap I ventured into the big bin labeled Misc Phone Parts and all i could find (screen came on)was my old Note. Popped in in Sim using an adapter.
And thought i was good until I saw Phone icon dots Yellow triangle dots PC monitor. Firmware Upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.
After about 6 hours I do not have it working. I am not new to samsung flashing having flashed my first phone 4 years ago and since then installed 30 plus custom ROMS on all my Galaxy phones through out the years. Sure I can just find used much better phone but then this will not be resolved and will keep me up at night. (if your like this you know what I am talking about).
So back on XDA where I am thankful and appreciate all the members who have contributed helpful information that has saved this world from filling with an ocean of frustration. Myself being one of those who has been saved many times by reading and following directions of what others have done. I like to think that a persons efforts to help someone last well beyond their own lifetime. Thank you sir or miss (yes you) for the work done selflessly with out recognition and reward that continues to help make the lives of others who they may never meet or know better and more happy.
I recently went to unlock my phone via Z3X box, my phone was on 4.3 they said to downgrade to 4.1, I followed the steps using Cygwin Terminal in making a custom firmware, I flashed it via Odin and it passed, however was stuck at the Samsung Logo, no usally in this case I would boot into recovery and wipe data and cache, however my Home Button does not work, so I used my Jig to force in to download mode and flashed stock I747m 4.3, went to boot and same thing stuck at the Samsung logo???? any ideas what's wrong here???

Tried to factory reset after the 4.3 upgrade? Sounds like you might have borked your EFS partition with the z3x box, if a reset doesn't help...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2471421
Some info from there might be helpful if you are still stuck. I know it is for the Note 3, but many of the same ideas apply, though the mount points are most likely different thus you can't just copy and paste those commands and hope it works (might even make it worse if the partitions are that different).
Is the Home button broken or just stopped working after trying to do this stuff?
Yeah the Home button just doesn't work when you press it that's why I needed the Jig to get in to Download Mode, and the phone was fine after trying with Z3X box it didn't do anything with Samsung tools because I was on 4.3 it started when I created that custom firmware and flashed it, haven't been able to get it to boot since that even with Stock Firmware..
Think you might need to check out this thread then:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2549068
Sounds like an issue with the downgrade / bootloader deal. No Home button sounds like it might really cause some issues here though. Owning a repair shop, I'm pretty familiar with the S3 construction and it's pretty rare that the Home button stops working. Has it been repaired or gotten wet or something?
the phone was water damaged I just replaced the main board with a new one and the phone was fine minus the Home Button, and I have tried the SD card thing about 3 times now and it doesn't do anything???
Hello forum people, I need help to revive my S3 i9300, if you could help me I would really appreciate it.
I tell what I remember about the problem:
The phone was rooteado to be able to use it with any company since it was of movistar. a year ago with the rootking (we sent it to root), the phone was my dad and now has a new one, and it stopped using about 2-3 months.
Then I lent it to a friend who had just broken his cell, so I gave it to him so he has something until he buys one, but he told me that it did not work because he did not load and unload very quickly. He gave it back to me and I stopped using it until about 1 month ago, that I was left without a cell phone and I want to use it to have something.
The same thing happens as it does not load and it is very easy to download, BUT if you use the charger and cable of the Huawei ascend Mate 7 that my dad has, it charges perfectly and the cargo is not cut at all.
Well, seeing that this happened, I restarted it from the factory (I guess the root will be removed with that).
It was still branded and only loaded with the charger and the Huawei cable ...
Well now I tell what happened with what I did.
I install the samsung drivers for the compu, install odin 3.10.6 and under the recovery file that I put up, well I install everything but when I realized instead I read fast and instead of saying PDA said AP in the odin.
Well I try to turn it on and it does not turn on, I try to enter into recovery mode and it does not start.
Then I install another odin, version 1.30 and have a PDA, I do everything as I say start the phone in download mode, home odin, connect the phone to the computer, put the file in pda and give start.
He tells me that everything went well but still does not turn on and without going into recovery mode.
Say that when I do recovery mode (volume up, home and power) I see the logo of samsung and like that desinstegra, then it appears again and blinks in blue but as if it were broken and the logo moves. In short broken.
Then then install another recovery, https://dl.twrp.me/i9300/twrp-3.0.2-...0.img.tar.html
Now I want to enter into recovery mode but this appears and I want to touch some option that appears but nothing, as if the touch was dead.
And after that, it seems to me that I tried to change the Kernel and I put any but the one of my model by mistake.
Current status of the s3:
It lights normally but it takes a long time.
Enter DOWNLOAD mode (vol down, home and Power)
The screen touch does not work but it does show an image.
The buttons work, also the easy button of back and home.
DO NOT enter RECOVER mode (vol up, home and power) is frozen in the Samsung logo.
I want to make it work with any other rom that is functional except the STOCK. And that transforms into unlocekd
It does not matter if when I install a new ROM the files are deleted, I do not have anything in the phone.
Thank you very much to those who respond.
Only to get sure, that I understood you right:
after flashing the wrong kernel, your touch in twrp is not working anymore?
Will say the device is not reacting when you press a button on the screen with your fingers? If so than, I am afraid that your touch is broken. What kernel did you use? Can you post the name of the zip or tar file?
Beside of that, after flashing samsung stock, the reboot will last quite long. Maybe around 15 min till up to 25 or 30. And after flashing and before reboot, go to recovery and make a factory reset. Cross my fingers... :fingers-crossed:

Hello, if I think that the Kernel had changed I do not remember exactly what it was because I downloaded it on a page written in Asian language by mistake and the Google translator confused the words and he said it was from the s3 but I think it was from the note 3.
The tactile does not respond exactly.
I did not understand him completely, he wants me to enter RECOVERY mode (it takes about 15-20 min to enter) and then do a factory reset?
I almost forgot to clarify that I had tried to do this from the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fA86_HFGx_w
Everything was installed perfect and I did it as is, except to delete.
Or reinstall the factory rom to see if it worked again.
If you flashed a kernel from note3 that the touch will be most probably minimum damaged and does not work proper anymore. I flashed mistakenly the kernel from the note2 and touch was broken, but maybe you were lucky and your touch is still working. No, passing into recovery should take only a few seconds, but rebooting into system after flashing samsung stock, then in recovery, then wiping and factory reset, could take a rather long time.

Could you tell me how to do it please? I'm not an expert at all in changing ROM.
but you wrote that you already flashed something (?) via odin? I understood that you flashed samsung stock rom, beside kernel and twrp to proof, whether phone is working with original sw? If not than please check and search the i9300 forum section, there are a few of howtos and todo threads and posts which explains it even more better, that I could ever do
Edit: for example:

I used odin but I forgot how I had done and had followed the steps of a tutorial that I lost the link.

Hello, thank you very much for the links that you have passed me. They will be very useful, excuse me but I do not want to be irritating at all but I am really lost.
My only question is to know how to start reliving it?
I start installing CWN and then change the ROM?
I would recommend to start with flashing the original samsung stock sw via odin. To see that everything is working as it should. If it is so, especially your touch, than you can go ahead with routing, flashing an alternative recovery and testing custom roms, like leo or pie as you posted in the other thread. The time you are spending with writing here and in the second thread you could have already finished the sw flash and reboot to system to check the health of your device. Others than that procedure is a waste of time in my opinion. But thats your decision. On the other hand, we, or better I wouldn't spoon feed you further, because you can find almost everything for that years old device here with search, read read and read.

Hello, I did the following, I had tried to re-install the stock stock a few days ago and it did not work, I did it for odin.
So what I did today was, install the recovery mode of ClockWorkMod and probe with the rom of MIUI 8 and that of Linage16, no installation. Then try with this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/development/rom-t3442868 And install correctly but it does not work, pass the Samsung logo but then when the ROM logo appears it stays there frozen and restarts ... it seems to me that officially the phone is dead.
Again: the right stock samsung sw should work if flash via odin didn't fail and, what I already mentioned, after flashing you did a factory reset in recovery. After that the reboot into system could take several minutes. Otherwise you can try it with repartition efs backup restore etc etc etc.
btw: newer custom roms, like leo-16, cannot be flashed with the old cwm recovery and cwm touch recovery, as you mentioned in the related thread, would not make much sense, if your touch is broken!?! If you do not want to go via samsung stock sw, then get a newer twrp, search for info which one is suitable, and guides how to flash custom roms, and flash the preferred one of your choice.
