Hello everybody from XDA!
I'm having a MAJOR problem.
I recently bought an S3 one week ago. I rooted it and deleted some of the system apps.
So I was playing around with Swap files and such, and I deleted "Swapper2" which then suddenly my phone powered off and it got stuck in a bootloop.
Now I've flashed before and sometimes with flashing some thing went wrong, but it never got me as nervous as this.
I did a factory reset and it didn't help.
Would it help if I flashed a stock jellybean rom again? I REALLY need it working again ASAP. I have a wedding coming up from a family member in the morning and I need to plan A LOT of stuff. I don't have a second device either.
It's 02:40 at night here in the Netherlands, so I don't have a lot of time too. Not to mention, because of this lack of sleep too.
Samsung Galaxy S3 GT I9300
Stock JB 4.1.2
Siyah kernel
With kind regards (and hands in my hair and stressing)
Try to go to download mode and flash a stock firmware via Odin.

At the moment I am in download mode. I'm waiting 50 minutes for the stock rom to download. (Seriously, hotfile is slow as %&@#). About 5 minutes is left. Odin recognizes my phone too.
Any confirmation that this would actually work?

Don't panic. It will. It will write all the Rom files again (including the ones you deleted ).

I flashed it and the Samsung logo appeared with the sound (which was like heaven to me.) Untill I realized it came into a black screen and rebooted again....

This is very odd. Odin should write all the system files you deleted. There must be a solution but I really can't help you any further unfortunately.

I used Swapper2 which uses a swap file from SD and uses it as RAM. Maybe if I took out the SD card and flashed it again?
I REALLY need it working...
You used the PDA slot in Odin?

Swap is kernel related and the stock Rom's kernel you just flashed does not even support swap so it should totally disregard the whole swap thing. Anyway , Try to flash the stock rom once again without the sdcard in case something went wrong the first time.
Also check that the Rom's file you downloaded is not corrupted via md5 checksum.

I flashed stock again without my SD card inserted. It did not help..
Would it maybe help if I rooted it with a custom kernel and flashed a custom rom? I myself was thinking about CM10.1
Also; does this mean the end of my new S3? I'm guessing a JIG wouldn't help me much either, as I can normally enter download mode..

Everything seems fine, I wonder why it does not boot. I really don't know if a custom Rom could save the day, but if you install a custim recovery, run megawipe to eliminate everything before installing your Rom : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1832326

I've never used tools like that, so I don't have much experience with it. How will I put this .zip on my phone? I don't have a card reader on my PC.
Also, reading the topic I need to have a ROM on my ext. SD to flash after. Can't I just plug it into my PC and run stock again? Or would my PC not recognize the phone? I preffer stock and not custom..
*edit* I just realized booting into recovery gives me the: "E: failed to mount /efs (Invalid argument)" Error. Is this my ext. sd card?
Also, I do NOT have a backup of my IMEI, or my efs. I read on some other forums that this is a pretty serious error, and most of them go to Samsung to repair the phone. I've avoided my warranty already, so I don't know if I can go to a Samsung center (we don't have one in my city, so I have to travel by train about 15 km) (Sigh)
Desperately waiting for an answer, and still with hands in my hair.

Yes, I can get into recovery. I don't have a nandroid backup, or a backup of my /efs folder. I didn't came to that process yet.

I tried this already. It still gives me the error to mount /efs file. Wiping data & cache didn't help.
Try restoring your backed up EFS folder .

Good day gang,
I was trying to sort out a USB Host problem and from another forum I was following a thread in which they stated to flash a .pit etc etc etc. Last time i do something from another forum. Ive been here since WinMo days....i know better than that....
Well...I've loaded up Odin....got my ROM (Factory) and it would hang on NAND Write Start. From there it would do nothing.
"Tech Support" :silly:
Thanks Mate.
PS- It's a I-9300

Had that yesterday (only worse, Odin stopped half way during the flash), pull the battery and wait 30 seconds, put back battery and cover. Insert a jig in the phone`s usb port and you`re in downloadmode. Now flash a stock rom with Odin V3 3.0.4.
If you don`t have a jig you could try in manualy (volume down + menu + power button at the same time).If that doesn`twork there are threads on this site to revive your phone after a bad flash, please search for them. Good luck

I dont have a jig, but I can get the phone in download mode. When I do, I choose in the PDA section my ROM, Reboot and F. Reset Time, and START then this happens:

Do i need to reflash a .pit to revert back?

Try 2
So I decided to try to flash it without the F. Reset Time option and this is what I got:

Kies is not running but I checked my PC startup files and there are some Kies managers and such that load on boot....gonna try to disable them....
Still if u guys know how to unbrick, please ring in...

Should I try a 3 part ROM and Re-Partition? Before bricking I just loadad a PIT by itself.....thats when the phone bricked.....

First close everything Kies related, also in the windows traymanager. Rightclick on the bottom windows bar and select taskmanager, there are Kies aplications also and end them. Tick autoreboot and f.reset.time then retry flashing the rom with Odin. You don`t need an extra pit file because it is inside the rom already. Report back after you`re done please.

I believe it is the International Version, the ROM is brazilian if I am not mistaken (I9300XXALF2_I9300OXAALF2_I9300XXLF2). BTW this is a Demo Unit, so I don't have the calling services. But I do remember that when I was inquiring about aftermarket ROMs I found out this one was Brazilian.
So yes, this is the International version.
So you borked your partition table by flashing a .pit? It would probably be a good idea to go one step back and fix your partition table before trying to flash a Rom.
I'm sorry but I have no idea where to find a .pit to return your partitions to the factory state.

Me neither....But....I'll search around and see if there is a factory .pit somewhere....also...If I can get another device exactly like mine, can I dump the WHOLE system and flash EVERYTHING (pit, system, etc) onto mine?

Take your phone to a service center and tell them something went wrong during a software update.

Thanks to torsrex...I did a re-partition to the latest .pit found in that list. Then I selected my factory ROM which I had...
4 mins later... flash.....PASS!!!
In case this happens to a member...here is the simple solution....just hard to find .pit file.
Cheers,
Paul
PS- My system is COMPLETE: no files were lost....wow!
How did you flash the pit??
that is which option did you choose in Odin
Repartition and loaded the file to PDA or Loaded the file in PIT.
Also
Does anyone know how to extract Modem from Stock firmware??

Hello,
Is your Galaxy S3 with internal 16Gb card?
Thanks in adavance.

Hi everyone i hope somebody can help me my problem is that i was on Stock Rom 2.3.6 and i want to put a custom rom so i root it, i did it everything good.
But then following a tutorial of how to put cwm i did it like the video flashing with odin and mine said success but i have bootloop. I never tought trying to enter cwm so i tried to flash stock rom again but didnt have success.
It started but have only fails in odin and now i dont know how but it haves a NAND rw corruption and doesnt let me flash roms only kernels.
When i try to flash a rom i have that problem. So looking on internet now i know that is a soft brick because only i can enter download mode not recovery.
I already tried to do what a thread over here says about how to recover from a soft brick with a recovery package and a kernel, also tried to flash a bootloader that came with that but it doesnt let flash. It stills turns on but only download mode.
I take it to repair but here in Mexico cant even tried something they gave me back my phone and they have it 3 days there for nothing, is it hard brick or something like that because it doesnt come back with that tutorial of soft brick
PS: It haves the triangle i know that is something normal when you flash it, but in the download mode my count number is 24 ._. too much i know but thats because i already tried everything i found and still like that, is there a problem with all that counts? i dont have a jtag
I think this is the LONGEST sentence I've ever read in my life.
Would you mind if you put some periods? I'm having a hard time decoding what your post means.

I put enters dont know why it go out there like that, but sorry the point of my problem is that:
1.- I was on Stock Rom 2.3.6.
2.- Rooted and everything fine.
3.- Tried to flash cwm following a tutorial and didn't start had a bootloop.
4.- Then i tried to flash back the stock rom and there came the problem:
- I can only access to download mode.
- No recovery mode.
- Sometimes it said on the screen when turning on "Samsung Galaxy S II" with the triangle, but other times says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again".
- Always says fail in Odin when i tried to flash a Rom (Only Kernel success), the problem is the Nand rw is corrupted.
- Already did a tutorial to recover a soft brick but no success it gaves the same error of nand rw.
- Cant flash an old bootloader that cames with the tutorial of soft brick.
I don't have a Jtag but i can put it in download mode so i think i dont need it or im wrong?

You should not flash with bootloader. Try flash the recommended .pit file instead. After a successful flash, flash the ROM.

I tought that when is Hardbricked it was when it doesnt turn on or go to download mode, but maybe your right.
Im gonna try that thanks, but I think it will have fail because it says to flash PDA .OFFICIAL XWLPG and as I said it doesnt let flash any rom with that NAND rw problem.
Anyway if i try only flashing Siyah Kernel could it help? I was reeding something about dual boot or something like that

no.
-Nand corruption is also hard enough to make your phone useless.
-that method should work since you are only flashing kernel as pda

It didn't work for me because it needs to flash the XWLPG first but i can't flash roms, so I couldn't pass from there to Siyah Kernel.
Thanks anyway, I can't take it I bought it used from a friend, RIP my S2

Haha its something hope that, im going to start over again to buy a S2 i like that phone
Hello XDAdevelopers,
My GSII wont turn on after i auto reboot or auto reboot into recovery.
So i installed the stock ICS rom via ODIN, everything went fine. but when the installation finished, the phone stay dead, it wont reboot unless i remove the battery, wait a few seconds and put it in again.
So i booted into download mode, flashed the Root BOX JB, with syah via ODIN, everything fine. But it wont boot again.
I removed the battery, wait few seconds, place it again, then it turns on.
Every time i reboot my phone or turn it off, it wont turn on unless i remove the battery.
Do you guys know why this is happening ?
Already flashed stock AOKP, CM, STOCK and now trying with ROOT BOX, always the same problem.
Update1: Flashed the stock ICS ROM and Kernel trough Odin and still cant boot without removing the battery =/
Update 2: Flashed with PIT and Re-partition checked, still the same =/, what else should i try ?
update 3: Flashed the stock XXLPH kernel after the PIT, still the same =/

Hi,
I've got this problem with a friends(girl) phone.
Her phone was stuck at the firmware upgrade screen(the one with firmware upgrade encountered an issue). So she searched the internet for a solution and did some things with kies and odin. But nothing worked so i offered to help her.
So i searched and found this article. i followed all the instructions and downloaded 3 different versions of odin V3.07, V1.3 and V1.85.
Specifications of the phone:
samsung Galaxy S II GT-I9100 16GB
what i've tried so far:
i followed the instructions from te link above and tried it with the following roms
-I9100GXXLB1_I9100GATOKL1_ATO
-I9100XWLP9_I9100KPNLP1_KPN
-I9100XXLSJ_I9100OXXLS1_OXX
i also tried the gingerbread and the ICS version
i also tried the pit file. but nothing works, the progress get stuck like in this example

And stop flashing pit files.

Ok, i've followed every step but the phone is still bricked.
i've noticed something else: i've tried some different packages and versions of odin, and when in download mode on the phone the custom binary download is saying Yes(5 counts) en the Current binary is changing from custom to samsung stock back and forth.

I updated the OP today, with an extra option for i9100 (which you have). It's flashing JB leak (stock ROM, 3 part firmware) via Odin, which will wipe your device as it flashes. Give it a go.
when u go to download mode, does it show your model number??

then you can fix it by flashing i guess .. try different versions of odin/try different usb ports/ different usb cables/ different pc/ :fingers-crossed:

it could be problem with your internal memory then... can u post a photo of your download mode.. what errors you get when u do a factory reset using recovery??? also when your phone is bricked dont try to unbrick using a custom rom or kernals because it can cause drawbacks like corrupting efs and all.. always try to unbrick using a stock firmwares.. also dont use pit immediately .. keep it for the last try...
also make sure kies and other tools are not running on backgroup ,, unistall them and reinstall samsung drivers and try again..

If you say you've 'tried everything' (which everyone always says), then it's a service centre job. What else do you want anyone here to say ? No miracle fixes. If it were me I'd keep trying, it's almost always something really simple/small/obvious that's causing the flash not to work, and as we're not there looking over your shoulder at what you're doing, it's going to be almost impossible for anyone to say what that is (you have 'tried everything' after all).
is there a way to fix this with jtag?

Maybe. No one can say for sure mate. If you motherboard is really borked, it would have to be replaced nevertheless.
Remember that Jtagging leaves marks on your device, so you can kiss goodbye any warranty u might have.

hey.. i had this problem too.. the only solution that i had is to use the galaxy note pit file and a stock rom for i9100 ... then the phone went back to normal ..but the memory went from 16 tb to 11.5 gb .. it was the only thing that made my phone work again..
i installed pit from galaxy note ..with and original stock firmware 4.1,2 then after install I did a factory reset via stock cwm and a clear cache ..and it worked.. a few bootloops and it went on:|

You got so ridiculously lucky that I can't comprehend that it worked. Please don't advise others to do the same, I'd say what you did is normally a recipe for a hard brick. Don't flash files for other phones, let alone a pit file for another phone. Yes I know the note has the same hardware as i9100 but you know what? It's not an i9100.
Edit: Look at what you posted in your other thread:

I hardbricked my phone about 3 months ago with the original firmware from orange 4.0.4 and I resolved the problem by putting samsung note PIT file ..but I don't have acces to all the memory on my phone ..I have almosst 12 gb from 16.. and my phone is getting wired ..and it is shutting off randomly since then .and to get it on again i have to remove the battery ..
Does anybody know how to get all my memory back for my phone? tx

I'd say that's a reason not to flash files from another phone.
i was just telling him that i had the same problem..not to do the same thing..because of the problem that I have got! i have told in my other post whathappened to my phone! and i know that my problem can be solved by rewriting the memorybut i don't know how!..

what I did.. i did because of some threads on xda ..so I am not crazy ..I just told him what I have did.. I haven't advised him to do that ..because of the problem that i had .. and when I wrote what I have did to make my phone worked .. i hace told the fact that it shrinked my memory from my phone..
maybe i'm getting a little progress. when i try to flash a new bootloader. i see a progress bar on the phone. but odin is halfway stuck at sbl.bin

Hmm.. first let's see what errors Odin is giving..post the log that Odin spits out here..
If you took an OTA to 4.4.2 is sounds like you might be locked..I'm not positive bc I don't have tie device but I'm pretty sure 4.4.2 for t mobile gs4 was just released, therefore, flashing OTA locks your bootloader and no more flashing customs roms for you. That is unless someone (dev) finds a way to unlock the bootloader..
The only thing I don't understand is you say your back on 4.3.. how did you go about flashing this..
Provide a little more info on the above and I'll see if I can give you a little more

When you flash it add this pit file to Odin to ensure it flashes to the proper place..
