Galaxy S3 doesn't start - only download mode - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all guys, i'm new here and i need your help.
One day ago i installed the Custom ROM "Super Nexus Beta5" on my galaxy. It worked for a day but now, when i turn on my phone, i see this (attachment)
And i can only turn on in download mode.
If i flash some firmware with odin, i have this error: There is no Pit-Partition.
Can you help me?
Sorry for bas english, Thanks.

If there is no pit, you need motherboard replacement because of eMMC failure.

Yellow Triangle..

Hey sorry if I've posted this in the wrong area . But it is a question. Has anyone used the free yellow triangle removal tool with success?
I have the triangle but have read the warning that comes with it and its slightly putting me off using it after all I don't want a £500 paper weight.

I've used it several times zero problems.
That's not a guarantee though! I suppose there is an element of risk.
If you're not happy using the app get yourself a jig.

I bought a jig of tbay but it only drop the phone into recovery mode .. does not remove the counter or the triangle ... i was told the jig only works on older kernals.
Ive got the latest CWM installed dont know how true that advice was but it wouldnt work hence me asking if anyone had used the removal tool .,
Thanks for the relpy though
Yeah you need an older boot loader for the jig. Check intratechs thread in original android development.
But seriously the app has worked flawlessly for me

Are you talking about the yellow warning triangle when i9100 boots up?
I have that too, and always thought it was normal.
A USB Jig shouldn't be forcing your phone into recovery mode, it should force your phone into download mode. Anyway, it won't reset your flash counter because you probably have a new bootloader. I had a new bootloader and had to flash an old bootloader through Odin in order to reset the flash counter.
Chris.
Cheers guys I've now sorted both custom count and the triangle using the free app ...many thanks for your input gately appreciated guys

It only shows if you have a rooted phone that's not an original kernel from what I've learned while reading the forum

Rooting the galaxy and skins

Hey I have a question for you guys I read somewhere about something called a flash counter which gives information to samsung that you have tampered with their rom (when they check it of course). So my question is by using SGS3 toolkit 2.0 does this happen. Let's say I have problems with the phone will the warranty still be valid. Also about installing skins. Do I have to root in order to install let's say the ICS Domination.
Thanks in advance and sorry for asking such noob questions

I actually have one more question. If I decide can I "unroot" the phone, just get it back to factory settings without Samsung finding out I had messed with the phone.

You can reset flash counter using Triangle Away and then flash a complete stock ROM using ODIN

[Q] How to trick the phone manufacturers?

Hey guys,I hope to solve my problem.I read threads regarding this but couldnt understand.
So here it is,I got a micromax A87 phone a month ago,then I rooted it.I removed the manufucturers RAM hungry apps.Everything was fine,but from yesterday on call(both incoming and outgoing) I cant here the voice,but they can hear mine.Though I can hear them on speaker and headphone.
So now I want to give to company service center so what should I do?
1.Flash the phone with custom rom or
2.Unroot and install all those preinstalled manufacturer apps
I would like to do the second method.So my question is in which method I can fake that device was not rooted so I can reclaim my warranty? suggest if there is another method and how does the manufacturer come to know if i rooted the phone?
Try a factory custom rom. Then remove root. Most manfacturers dont care though.

Well put them back then. And then find a zip or an app that unroots the phone.

Unroot your phone and give it to service center.
Sent from my GT-I9003 using xda premium
There are two solutions
1.you could find another member with your phone and get the apps that you deleted and unroot and give it to service!
Or
2. You could flash stone random rom and brick you device completely and give it back to service saying that it won't start up and hope they don't find out!
Personally I'd suggest you go for 1

U have a hardware problm
Why would they count the number of stock apps
Just unroot
And do a hard reset
Dun worry

Please give more details like what android version and kernel you were using. And from your signature are you using S1?
Sent from my potato running a potato.
Try Odin happen to me once PC didn't recognize but Odin still did. Go to stickies section in Sgs2 section find stock ROM flash after I plugged in to kies and it did the rest. This method worked for me twice when all I had was a flickering black screen. Hope it works with U. Try to put into download mode three bottom press. PM if U need more help.

Its the sgs2 from my friend android version 4.0.4 stock rom

Guessing that you have hard bricked the phone, due to doing wipe on stock rom.
Not much you can do, a new motherboard is required
Can you enter download mode?
Download mode is entered by Volume Down + Home + Power pressed simultaneously when your phone is off.
Sounds like your motherboard is toast. you got warrenty? maybe theres hope
nope
no compassion at all.
If you had read just a little bit about rooting / flashing, you would have known that you should not do a CWM factory reset on stock 4.0.4 rom.
Just like here:
