Hello!
My Samsung Galaxy sIII GT-I9300 got stock on the boot logo...i don't know how
I've been using my phone since 7 months, i even rooted it 5 months ago without any problem. I never changed its ROM, it's still running on ICS. When the Samsung official software notification came on my phone, i would postpone it to 3 hours later everytime. One day before my phone bricked, it would boot several times consecutively. Yesterday morning, my phone was fine, the alarm rung, i even checked my whatsapp, in the afternoon, i found it on the boot logo, i waited for the Samsung logo to appear but it would just stay there. I'm able to go in download mode, it says:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: GT-I9300
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: No
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Official
It won't go any further, no buttons apart from the power button would work.
I tried to go on the Samsung updates website to look for a firmware but i could not find my country (Mauritius).
Is the the "Region" important while choosing a firmware or can i just choose a firmware for any other country?
I tried installing I9300XXEMC3_I9300NEEEMC1_I9300XXEMB6_HOME.tar.md5 on my phone through Odin but it would fail on the very first stage (see attachment). I guess this file was not right...
I tried downloading other OMEGA WinRar files, but it contained only folders and other stuffs, i could not find any file with .tar extension.
Can somebody please tell me how do i fix my phone?
Please send me download links of .tar.md5 files and instruct me how to install it. I'll be very grateful to you
i don't mind loosing all my pictures, apps, songs and other files on my phone. I just want my phone to be repaired because i'll need it soon.
Thank you for answering.
It sounds like sudden death check the stickied thread in general, think it's a warranty job good luck

ouch
i had this problem,
heres how i sorted mine out,
i went to sammobile.com and downloaded .sammobile.com/firmwares/1/?model=GT-I9300&pcode=O2U#firmware[/url]
take both sim and sd card out the full factory wipe,
then installed it via odin (make sure you have latest version)...it might have been luck for me but its how it worked
fingers crossed
let me know if its worked
By reading your post and the info presented, looks like you are in download mode instead of recovery, that's why no other key but power will work. In your screenshot of odin looks for me that you don't have the usb drivers installed correctly or the phone is not in download mode.
Good luck

You probably have the Sudden death :/ You should've updated it to jelly bean... Only way is to change the motherboard , read the sticky in general section for more info.

Try downloading latest or custom firmware and save it to your extcard using card reader. Then try to root again your phone. Then flash the firmware (Custom or not) through custom recovery.Your problem doesn't make me nervous at all I've experienced bricking my phone much more than that.
You mean to say that i should download a firmware, then save it on an SD card which i insert in my phone...
And after that i root my phone again, right?
But as soon as i'm in download mode, my phone says:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: GT-I9300
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: No
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Official
No buttons would work after that
So i won't be able to access my firmware...
What do i do?
Please help me
i'm desperate :crying:
thank you.

Download mode is not for flashing from SD card .
Download mode you flash a stock rom tar via Odin .
If that fails its a service centre repair job .
jje
it didn't work but thanks anyway
my phone is rooted...will i benefit from the warranty?
i heard that rooting a phone voids its warranty...
i tried flashing some ROMS...none of them works :crying:
i even tried rooting it again...still unsuccessful
Now on download mode, my phone says:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: GT-I9300
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: Yes (2 counts)
CURRENT BINARY: Custom
SYSTEM STATUS: Official
Do i still benefit from the warranty?

Hello,
I was running FH 1.7 fine and decided to OTA to FH 1.9, so I downloaded the update last night on the my phone hopeing to flash it via rom manager today....except when I woke up this morning, my phone was stuck in the samsung boot screen. I was not able to enter into the rom manager at all, I'm not sure why.
I am now trying to flash a stock rom back on my phone via odin, but in doing so I get an error saying "There is no PIT partition."
I have googled this and search the forum and no one has any answers other than JTAGing it.
Does anyone know how to get around this issue or know how I can just get my phone back to stock?
Thanks!
-Rob
sounds like SDS to me.
What does it say in the top left of the screen when in download mode?
Binary download etc......
ODIN MODE
Product name: [blank...nothing here]
Custom Binary Download: NO
Current Binary: Samsung Official
System Status: Custom
Any luck with anything above?
Product name: [blank...nothing here]
As far as I can tell, you've suffered from SDS.
A trip to the warranty centre is needed I'm afraid. They should replace the motherboard for you.
No completely SDS I think, because as people described, SDS should be completely dead although some of them was able to get into download mode.
It seems to be a problem about partitioning.

Hi, for warranty purpose or some other purpose..to go back to stock rom.. triangle away app is used to reset flash counter..after using the app I got this
Current binary : no
Custom binary : samsung official
System status : CUSTOM
I've searched so many forums and googled so many times to find a solution
For making System status : official(Coz warranty will still be void)...so many people said to do a factory rest and some told to wipe data/cache in cwm.. but none worked..
Finally after switching on my mobile after the procedure to stock rom and resetting flash counter...I went to ABOUT DEVICE/SOFTWARE UPDATE and CLICKED CHECK UPDATE(should be connected to net) I got the message DEVICE REGISTERED...Voila System status changed to OFFICIAL and also in settings/about device/status changed from modified to normal
I searched for hours and hours for this but finally got a solution out of luck..thought this would be helpful for someone like me..who want their warranty back
PS: This worked for me dont know if it works for others..im just sharing my luck..now I got my warranty back and replaced my product (hardware issue)..Thanks

ya i agree there are some guides...but in every thread.. solution to change system status custom to official is this
'12. Once the phone is up go to Settings -> About Device -> Status, check if the device status says NORMAL... if it does, then the device is unrooted if it still says MODIFIED continue...
13. Reboot into Android Recovery by holding Vol UP + Home + Power till you see Samsung Galaxy S3 displayed on screen...
14. Do a factory wipe and wipe cache then reboot
15. The phone will be rebooted and can be sent in for warranty '
but it didnt work for me....ihve seen so many people replied.. asking .. my system status is still custom even after wiping ....these questions were asked in chainfire thread too...
so i thought this would be helpful....anyways you are the senior member u know better..
Thanks, satya - I have been struggling to get the phone back to its original state for warranty purposes, and your post was the only thing I could find that gave me the solution to that final piece of the puzzle. On my Galaxy S3, I didn't have an option for "Check Update", so I did an "Update Firmware" and then an "Activate Device". Between these two, it worked.
Although there's a lot of information out there about restoring your phone to factory state for warranty purposes, I have to say that it is scattered and often not very user-friendly. Here are the concise steps that I constructed, which hopefully will be useful to someone else in the future:
Pre-requisites:
1. Flash Clockworkmod (CWM) recovery onto the phone.*
2. Root your phone.*
3. Install TriangleAway on your phone.**
4. Download your stock ROM from samsung-update.com and extract from zip file to your hard drive.
Then:
1. Run TriangleAway on phone and flash counter to 0.
2. Turn off phone.
3. Reboot phone into Odin download mode (hold volume down+power+home when off) and connect USB cable.
4. Run Odin*** on PC, click PDA, and select tar/tar.md5 file of the stock ROM you downloaded.
5. Click Start to flash stock ROM and let it run its course (about 5 minutes).
6. Boot into download mode. If system status=custom, then:
a. Reboot normally
b. Go into Settings->System Update and do Update Firmware
7. Your phone now has stock recovery, stock ROM, no root, counter=0, and status=normal.
NOTE: You must reboot into download mode immediately after running TriangleAway. If you otherwise reboot the
phone normally, it will reset the counter upon reboot to 1 and you will need to run TriangleAway again.
* I used Samsung GS3 Toolkit to flash the CWM recovery and root. You can accomplish both at the same time by choosing "2" (root/unroot options) from the main menu, and then "3" (ALLINONE) from the next menu.
** TriangleAway can be downloaded from Google Play Store for a small fee, or you can find it online for free, download it, and install to your phone using an APK package installer (you can find in Play Store for free).
*** Odin is included in the aforementioned Samsung GS3 Toolkit (look for the executable in the directory it was installed to), or you can download it on your own.
Good luck everyone.

Yep and here is the root of the problem multiple posts on the same subject .
Some of those multiple posts are wrong or just another way of the old method . Other posts carry out the same task but with unnecessary steps added .
Plus noobs don't bother to learn the basics so the basic instructions like flash stock rom are a puzzle .

thanks! in odin download mode System Status showed Custom, but in Device Status (Under settings) it showed it's Official. I click on Software Update like you mentioned, and got the message "the latest update has been installed". I rebooted the phone into Download Mode and System Status showed Official.
Thanks a bunch! :good:
Cheers from this noob for the useful information here
Oh "Lord of the Official System Status", thank you very much!
THANKS!!
Very helpful information. .. Thank you brother. I have the same issue in my Galaxy S4. But now I'm not scared to leave my phone rooted and do whatever I want with my device, since the solutions are available. I don't really care about the warranty things, but you never know what's gonna happen "its just a normal device and it could get break easily". /SIZE]

Thanks in advance
I had same issue. I use the Nova Launcher instead of Touchwiz. I changed back to Touchwiz and tried the update again. Issue resolved.
Thanks, the method with checking update worked. No need to root and using TriangleAway and flashing stock rom again.

Hello, I made the mistake of rooting my phone a while ago and now it needs a battery and jack connector replacement. I flashed the latest stock firmware via Odin(could install via SmartSwitch too but I have a bad internet connection and I was afraid of messing up). When in download mode everything shows OFFICIAL, knox warranty app shows 0x0(valid) and the recovery is the normal one. No root trace via app detection. Still, System Status shows Custom. :| Would there be any problem? Never mind guys after rebooting it again after writing this post it shows official and I am just standing here like... wtf happened???? xD
Is there a way of doing this to my note phone that stuck in boot loop after samsung update Only screen I can get into is the download screen. Binary says Samsung official but system status says custom. Sprint accused me of rooting the phone.

I'm asking you cause your a senior member and all. I know pretty much everything there is to know about samsung devices but mine has got me thrown right now... Galaxy Tab A7. Rooted it many times but not long after root it will give me the blue error screen on boot saying the device cannot boot due to being flashed with an unofficial firmware and shows that the issue is the vbmeta file. Only fix is to flash stock firmware. It will not boot otherwise... however even after flashing the newest firmware and the past 3... I've tried them all... the device still shows that it is custom under the settings/device status menu. I've reflashed using its PIT file with repartition, cleared EFS option, NAND erase... still always shows custom and won't do updates or anything. However in Downlad mode it shows Samsung Official.... Any idea what's up with that? I would have used combination file but the new security regarding that is another nightmare of its own...
Hello,
I have a SGS3, model number GT-I9300, Baseband version I9300XXELLA, once i got my phone i directly rooted it using CF-ROOT, and because of that the flash counter was triggered, then after i updated my phone using Kies as i was no longer able to update using OTA because its statues became "modified" i had to re-root again, this triggered the flash counter one more time.
now i need to send my phone to samsung due to hardware malfunction, so i tried using TriangleAway, then i un-rooted the phone using supersu, but after i restarted the phone its status in Settings>about device>status>Device status> is "modified", and i noticed that when i use check for updates it stays checking forever (a whole night) and never finish, and when i go to download mode it says the following:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: GT-I9300
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: No
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
i was advised to reflash my phone with an official ROM and that i did using "Samsung-Updates.com-GT-I9300-BTU-I9300XXELLA-1356163678" ROM and ODIN 1.85, but yet its the same wither in the device status, checking update takes for ever, and information in the Download Mode!
Can someone please tell me how to reset everything back to its original state wiping all the data on the phone, in detailed steps please!
what i want is to have my phone back as it was saying "normal" in the device status, and official in the SYSTEM STATUS, even if this means downgrading it to an older android version like ICS.
By the way my phone was bought from samsung italy, not attached to any service provider.
Thanks in advance.

the fact that you gave me those links means that my question was note clear
i saw those threads and did as they say! but they are not well maintained and they are full of unanswered questions, i actually started to answer some of them in there, that's why i started a new thread, but i guess it was a wrong idea,
if i may just one question, i am unable to locate the right stock rom for baseband I9300XXELLA, and Italy region. all the italian roms in samsung-updates are with different baseband or same baseband but different region! sammobile site appears to be offline,

My experience, so far, is that if you use Triangle Away (2.60 in my case) then should be an option that says "Allow tracker to run".
It has to be enabled, and once you check it, reboot inmediatly.
The status should be "normal" now...
If it doesn't work, try to reset the binary counter with that option already checked...
And another thing!
You must have stock kernel/recovery in order to make things work properly!

Hi, i've purchased an siii today gti9300 and i am very confused as to what is going on.
First of all, it shows that there is na update available but when I try to download it it says cannot be done because its been modified. (tried the miscrosd fix even though am not using a microsd, and couple of other things and nothing worked)
So I wanted to know if its rooted or not, installed root checked and it says that it is. Then I found out OTA isnt good for a rooted phone. Great so lets unroot!
Went into download mode and the first 2 rows are blank and it appears to tell me that it isnt rooted so i am now very confused as when i tried to flash the stock rom on odin it failed.
below is what I see
product name:
custom binary download: no
current binary: samsung official
system status: custom
I9300XXELL4 is the firmware curtrently instaleld and i wanted to reflash it with the same as its the stock firmware
thanks in advance
The reason I am trying to fix this is because I believe its causing the issue with my touch screen which is tempremental. it works but sometimes i have to press it few times or when i scroll it clicks instead. I read the below which is makign me think the software is to blame:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2630555
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...2574175&page=2
I think that you bought a rooted device which went unrooted (using root manager apps like SuperSU), but the previous owner didn't flash a stock rom afterwards (so the rom is still acknowledged as rooted)
You can convert it into fully official by flashing stock rom (from sammobile, etc) via odin

The blank product name is usually due to hardware failure, you may have bigger problems than just modified status.

was trying to root my phone using this guide
http://galaxys3root.com/galaxy-s3-root/how-to-root-galaxy-s3-on-android-4-34-4-2-new/
after following the steps i wasn't able to open cwm or the stock recovery i tried taking off the battery after doing the odin process again but no luck any ideas?
Try CF Autoroot (use search function).
If it doesn't succeed, flash latest 4.3 firmware from sammobile.com, then Autoroot.
I think im gonna postpone the rooting for now so how do I remove the failed cwm I tried flashing a stock recovery but its stuck at pit mapping
Also by flashing firmware (whole ROM)
are there other methods than flashing a whole rom?
are you using the latest odin? if youre using 10.x then try using a lower version which would of been compatible with your model when it was in its prime.
Odin v9.x or 7.x for example.
this is a good automated too with many option and much information all up to date within the program its for pc just connect phone via usb.
http://www.skipsoft.net/?page_id=1197
used it on galaxy s4/5/6 when ran into problems.
im using odin3 v1.85 and the international gt i19300 stock recovery do i have to unzip it first?
thats a very old version of odin. try updating. go to odin official website or search xda
Use odin to flash cfautoroot and you'll be rooted. Simple as.
Connect phone to pc via usb. Open odin, click pda, find cfautoroot file, click ok, click start. Phone will reboot, red text, reboot, Optimise apps.. Done.
You can mess with roms or recoveries to your hearts content.

Stop right there. You do not have the international version.
I believe you have the verizon variant, i747?. The international variant doesn't have qualcomm chips nor bootloader security.
Do not flash anything I9300 as you will brick your device so i have removed the link i gave.
The warranty bit has been triggered but it means nothing if your not selling it to a business.
The qualcomm security bit is basically knox but from what I've read this should stop odin from allowing a flash. If it does there is supposed to be a way around it but seeing as I've never encountered a usa device (i live in the uk) i cannot advise further on that, but maybe someone else can?.
Otherwise it looks normal and could already have the said security patched to allow odin flashes. Otherwise you're flashing via recovery but be careful, you need to confirm your variant first!!.

looks like i wont be getting root access anytime soon i don know anything about the variant since this phone was given to me by my uncle in dubai i hope someone helps me out with this
First of all check in the settings of your phone if it says it is I9300, if it is not, you are not in the proper forum. Then we can move forward.
it says model number samsung gt I9300
