Hi,
My S3 has been randomly crashing and showing "Unknown Upload Mode" and a lot of nonsence on the screen. It seems any app usage causes this. I went to the Samsung Service Centre and he reflashed the phone and I lost all data but it crashed again twice. Its working for the last 45 mins but is there some way I can fix this without sending the phone in for 10 days?
Thanks
Sean
Does no one have any idea???
screenshots please...
Well now with factory reset it worked for about 24 hours then began to crash again. Now its stuck on the GT I-9300 logo and keeps restarting. I went android menu ( Pressed volume button up + home button + power button together to reach menu where you can clear cache and reset phone to factory settings) and wiped out cache and its seems to have worked for 45 mins. I'm sending it in for repair but is there anything I can do.. Plz so many ppl have seen this but no solution from anyone?? I don't want to lose phone....
might be SDS. send it back and claim for a new one if you have warranty.
-------------------------------------
please let me know if i'm wrong and CLICK thanks if i help

The thing is they're saying that they will repair it and refuse to send me a replacement.. Its working ok now..Its seems something's wrong with the cache.. Is there some way to deep clean the cache? Its been working ok now after cleaning it...
Probably best to backup data and then factory reset .

Done that already and then cleared cache yesterday.. Then also did a emergency firmware upgrade on Kies which in effect did a factory reset... Still happened today.
It seems to be working for now...

Cwm(clockworkmod recovery)-vol up+home+power
How did you manage to flash a rom without even knowing what cwm is???

Did you keep the rom zip file in your phone? or can you connect your phone to a computer?
Hold volume up+home+power to recovery mode, try to re-install the rom or try another rom.
If it's available, you may backup your stuff and wipe data and cache before install the rom.

Hello,
I can't acces my device in any way. I tried hard reset in every way. When I start up the device it's in the lockscreen where I can change my default language. But there keep popping up windows with "The process ... has been stopped". And when I click okay it just goes to the next application. And it just keeps going like that. I really don't know what to do.
I already removed the battery several times, but it just keeps doing the same... :S
I rooted my device a few days ago and the only thing I changed was the MOD to turn up the volume. After a few days certain apps keeped crashing when I tried to launch them. This morning every app crashed and now my whole phone is tripping.
Anyone can help me out? Would be very grateful!!!
Thanks in advance!!
Did you do a factory reset ??
no signature....problem ?!?!?!

Yes did a factory reset by holding the volume down + home button + power button. Then the phones gets in the download screen for rooting. After that the whole thing begins again. At the lockscreen it starts crashing all apps.
go into recovery - vol up + home + power.
wipe cache and dalvik (in advanced) and reboot.
if that doesn't work, wipe data/factory reset in recovery - this will wipe your phone - apps you've downloaded etc...
Above fails then as usual flash a stock rom .

Didn't work, did both things, but had no effect at all. Just reset the language again at the phone, but still kept crashing everything.

Had to figure out what you meant by this answer but after doing little research I finally found out how. And it worked!!! It actually put back the default Jellybean software. And everything is working fine again!! Really, thanks a lot. I almost decided to sent back my device to the shop for it's warranty. No need for that now!! Can't describe how grateful I am! xD
In case somebody finds this thread and has the same problem. This is what I did:
- Download the right stock firmware at: sammobile.com
- Then follow this tutorial: androidromupdate.com/2012/06/05/how-to-install-stock-rom-on-samsung-galaxy-s3-s-iii-gt-i9300
Anyways, thanks a lot!
Hi Everyone,
This is my story:
I woke up today to my phone being off. Thinking it was battery, I got my spare and replaced it. Turned on the phone and saw the:
"Samsung
Galaxy S III
GT-I9300"
This logo kept on appearing, then disappearing; appearing then disappearing. It is still doing that and I can not get past it. I have tried clearing Dalvik Cache (yes I can access recovery mode). I have tried using Odin to flash stock firmware to it (it showed a "PASS"), and still nothing works. I am at the end of my wits with this phone. Based on what I know, my options are:
1) Wipe/Reset Factory data
2) Take it to a repair shop bcz of a hardware malfunction (no warranty)
3) Throw it in the bin
Any other options that might get me into the phone to get my information?
Just so you guys know, this phone was rooted a couple months back. The only reason I rooted it was to use Titanium Backup. Needless to say, I wasn't messing around with it when this happened. Please advise!
Use Google or search on XDA next time!
Looks to me like you have SDS!

factory reset should've been the first thing you did after the cache. that's your solution. it's not sudden death, just do a factory reset

Can you enter recovery? Or it's just DL mode?
I can enter recovery and DL mode. For the record, I just did a wipe data factory reset and it's still doing the same thing. Any suggestions now?
If you can get into download mode then try flashing stock Rom with Odin, if it doesn't boot up, go to recovery and do factory reset.....

Thank you. But I already did both of your suggestions and they didn't work.
Read the sudden death syndrome thread .
Take phone to Samsung service .

Hi
in last days my sgsIII start freezing few times in a day. I always must remove battery.
Factory reset doesnt help.
Wipe too.
I have reinstalled software and recovery through Samsung GS3 ToolKit but still nothing
I always install clean soft and root.
Once time I did a factory reset, the phone is launched and immediately freeze.

Try flashing stock firmware via odin (not any leaked firmwares) if freezing still happens the problem is propably in your mainboard and you should contact your reseller or samsung but remember if your binary counter isnt "no" you will have problems with warranty
hit the thanks button if i deserve it
check the freezing thread in General
Service centre said: In your phone, I found an unauthorized interference with the software. This is irreversible damage to the motherboard and not covered by warranty.

That could mean your phone voids warranty as its rooted or has a custom rom .
Did you not restore the phone and remove root first . If you did then the reply is not very clear .

I Was trying to restore but Triangle Away left 1 count and also I cant install 3 file soft by odin.
Odin has problem with connect with phone when I try 3 file soft, with 1 file I dont have this problem.
so the phone was on coffee table. I noticed it vibrates so i look at it . and its on a solid blue led light and the samsung logo is circling/glowing in a loop. so pulled battery , left for a few mins and turn on but its same problem?
its s3 uk . btu. its on 4.1.2 for a good 3 months . had phone maybe just a year never had any problems until today.
i am getting s3 btu uk 4.1.2 firmware and flash it . but how can i enable usb debugging if i cannot boot up phone?
i can get it into donwload mode ,
and some sort of menu mode when i hold up button instead . something about wipe / factory?

The other mode is called recovery mode.
The factory reset will wipe your data - although most will be probably backed up and restored later.
Try that, if it doesn't work, flash with the download mode.

Did wiping from recovery mode not help? try that before trying odin, it's much safer.
Also, please follow all the instructions when dealing with odin, misuse can hard brick your device and turn it into 600$ useless paperweight.
no i just relfahsed with odin , and it restarted it then said re installing 0/200 apps like it started up first time then it restarted and now its back in a reboot loop

Weird, seems like a problem with one of the apps (?) since it was reinstalling them, factory reset from the recovery menu and see if that makes the difference now that you flashed with Odin.
If not please report back.
PS: wipe dalvick cache under advanced in recovery.
it wasn't reinstalling them. it was optimizing them because the cache was cleared. you need to factory reset. factory reset from stock recovery will also wipe the internal sd though
i am not rooted so dont have access to clr dalvik cache
flashuing stock rom with odin didnt work .
factory reset worked !!
lost all my torrents and stuff on sd card . teach me to back up now
thank u
read the guides

Hi you would never guess what. It happened again. I restored all google apps say 100. Then I was using SMS back and restore to restore about 16k texts . I have lost about two months since the last back so my phone had handled more txtx s then 17k texts
Then it was stuck on solid blue led and glowing samsung logo again . So I just factory restored and now it's ok again ,but now I lost all my stuff again having stayed up until. 4am in the morning rode loading and re installing all apps
Seems like something is hitting all the cache causing the phone to semi brick ? Could it be a bad cache ? So when the phone writes to that caches it bricks it?

No idea, is everything fine now?
Is your problem resolved?
Not really
I just been googgling , is this what they call sudden death?
I did call up samsung service centre and my phone is still under its two year warranty so I got time to take it back.
He did seem helpful but issue is I have fixed it by wipe and factory reset so problem is now not present so not much he can do
The service centre did say if they can not find or repeat the fault then they can't do anything and would send same phone back. Having come from iPhone , it seems the service is not as good . When I had problems with my iPhone they just swapped it out after they plugged it into some machine.
It's been ok today. Though, it's restored all the same apps I had and it hasn't bricked itself yet thank god
I am using app back up and restore and it's sayings I got 290 apps lol
17k of text messages, that maybe the problem..
