Hey guys.
I have a GT- i9300, I rooted it in odin with CF root, no worries, installed foxhounds Rom with SiyahKernel. All was fine for a few weeks. My phone then randomly shut down one day and would not boot. (had not installed any 3rd party apps, custom upgrades or anything for a few days).
My phone now only boots to the Samsung splash screen. Will not boot into recovery mode either. Download mode still works
So i tried to re flash the kernel through odin but I get an error "no PIT partition"
Tried flashing a stock Firmware through odin, same error.
Tried flashing CWM again through Odin, same error,
Tried flashing CF root again in Odin, same error.
Any ideas please help???
I have looked all over the net for two days now and found some people with same problem but they have not fixed it yet.
Would a 3-part firmware work in Odin? If so I have downloaded countless ones only to find they are the single .tar file
3 part works via Odin.

Any idea where I can get one from? Every Rom I download is only the one .tar file.

Hey Man, I have been searching the net for days now and trying countless different things in Odin but still no Luck. From what I have read if we can find a 3-part firmware +pit file and we flash them through Odin and tick re-partition it should fix it.
Problem being I cant find one, I have asked on other forums and asked Intratech himself but no response yet. If I figure it out though I'll let you know and you do the same for me hey?

hey, no luck for me so far. I am from Taiwan. I have found 5-part stock firmware, which has pit, bootloader, phone, csc, PDA. But it gave me another error: Re-partition operation failed. It seems the partition table has been crashed.
I have returned it for repair(distributor), and I was told that the phone needs to replace the mainboard. And since they told me I have tried to install custom firmware or software, I no longer have the warranty. The fee is unacceptable high, almost half price of the phone.
I will take my phone back and send it to Samsung repair center. Wait and see if any different solutions Samsung can provide me.
I am still looking for other possible solutions, and if I found one, I definitely will share it with you.
The worse thing is the hardware damage. Hope it is not....
Hi,
I'm having the exact same issue...
It happened me after installing CM10 Prev. #4.. I tried to make a phone call to test the sound problem. and suddenly it rebooted into a boot-loop.
After that I tried to re flash the .zip file to get it booting again but i couldn´t even get into {install zip from internal SD Card]
Then i tried to go back to stock with Odin but didn't work..
Tried to repartition with different .pit files on different pc's with different OS. but nothing helped..
I'm planning on returning it too. I hope they will repair it...
i'll let you know and looking forward to hear something from you.
I ended up taking mine back and it got replaced under warranty

You have no choice! Try every pits you got, you might get another error : Re-partition operation failed...
So far, I believe that is hardware damage, and there is nothing you can do but send it back for repair(replacement).
If you have run triangle away before the phone crashed, then you are lucky, You might get replacement under warranty.
I did that before broken. There was no counter, but showed custom rom in download mode.
So it is hard to judge if I flash custom rom or not. The second time I sent my phone back to same repair center, they finally did replacement for me for free.
Good luck to you, and hope it is not hardware damage.

many thanks for really complete answer brother.
tried to flash stock firmware.after 2 minutes odin said there is no pit partition.
again tried and this time with PIT file, happened what you expected ,it said Re-Partition operation failed.:crying::crying:
luckily i don't have yellow triangle and in download mode it says samsung official.so i think it's better to send it to a warranty service center.
another question i have is why does this problem appear ?
i just connected phone to the charger and slept for 1 hour.when i woke up saw samsung logo on phone and it happened what you know.
again thanks for your help brother.

thanks for responses brothers.
i tried 5 different pit files and one of them was GT-I9300_mx_20120329.pit.
it didn't help.actually when inserting pit file in odin it says Re-partition operation failed. and when pit place in odin is empty it says there is no PIT partition.
i tried to flash 3 part stock rom,same result.
tried those methods with odin 3.04 and odin 1.85, both of them gave me same result.:crying::crying:
If you always search a 3 parts firmware, try this one:
http://hotfile.com/get/159511026/500faffb/47a90c3/I9300XXALE8_I9300OJVALE7_FWD.zip without and with pit file
(morocoo CSC i think), just in order to test if it's works.
If it is, you'll flash your firmware (CSC THR) here:
http://hotfile.com/get/164216390/500fb0d0/c94977c/I9300XXBLFB_I9300OJVBLF3_THR.zip
If don't work, use warranty...
Just letting you know that i had the Exact same problem.
When trying to flash (when in download mode) it would always error when trying to get the PIT information.
Nothing would work, besides from download mode. When trying to hard reset, it would get to the logo screen and immediately turn off.
It was rooted + cmw + no triangle away. So it could be easily seen that it rooted
I took it back to warranty.
It was a fault motherboard. That was the issue. They replaced it and re-flashed with stock os.
And it was covered under warranty (the best part).
Same I issue I think
Hi. I think I have the same problem with my unrooted, stock S3. (unbranded UK)
Just suddenly apopeared with the grey battery with the static "O" symbol in it, and when booting doesn't get past the first Samsung screen.
Can get into recovery mode, when trying Odin with XXBLG8 stock ICS ROM, I get the "no PIT partition" error.
Please tell me my phone isn't dead :crying:...

Hey guys ,
I have Samsung Galaxy s II i9100G
Now it is not responding to anything no download mod , recovery or anything it is dead.....
I've tried the following
JIG to force the download mod …. failed
Jtag to repartition and do some stuff i don't know but people talking about it ,,,,failed
what i did
Tring to root the device with a wrong package ,,,, I've downloaded the CF-Root and did not decompress it and uploaded it to the device via heimdal
Then to fix that i decompressed it and got the zImage file …. send it to the device and checked the re-partition option with a pit file
apparently this pit file did a wrong repartition so the device has no idea about the download mod partition or even the recovery
my device is not recognized on any thing odin, heimdal !!!!
If anyone has any idea about fixing this **** I'am in please tell me or even a chipset to be changed cause i really don't think that wrong repartitioning will cause all of this
Wow, going for the record number of epic fails in one go?
Last I checked, CF-root was not available for the I9100G.
Flashing a kernel not meant for your device while at the same repartitioning with unknown, random pit file? Impressive.
I somehow doubt you have the skills or equipment to JTAG.

Seems like an MOBO replacement is the only solution left for ur phone for now.
Approach the nearest Samsung Service center and see what they quote for the same

CF-Root ....IS.... a kernel.
Its likely you flashed a incorrect partition file to your device and screwed up emmc. You will need a motherboard replacement if you cant access download mode.

Hello.
Currently I have Samsung GT-I9300 (international edition ) that I bought from UAE. But I am already in Indonesia right now.
My s3 is currently at boot loop.
After digging around in the forum, I found a number of things to try.
Here is the list of things I have done:
1. I tried flashing stock rom using odin pc. The stock I used is the newest ( I9300XXEMC3_I9300NEEEMC1_NEE). Result from ODIN: Succeed. But the boot loop is still looping!!
2.Then I tried flashing cmw recovery because I can't get into recovery at all. After flashing, there's red exclamation mark on upper left corner with the Samsung logo. And still cannot get into recovery using the combo (vol up+home+power) button, it wouldnt go into recovery at all and keep showing me the samsung logo.
3.Next I tried flashing the rescue firmware in i9000 post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40509099#post40509099). I used the XXELLA. Flashed the pit, csc, pda and bootloader. The boot loop still persist.
4.The last thing I did is bring it to Samsung service center. They tried flashing their current (Indonesian) stock rom but the problem also persists. They advised that I need to change the mainboard in UAE where the phone is originally from. They said because after changing mainboard , they need to re inject IMEI. And can only do that in original country. And they informed me the flash also succeed thru odin, it's just the boot loop is still looping...
In download mode the product name still presents. (I read a post in this forum saying if the product name still persists then the mainboard is not fried (is the information correct?)
And all flashing thru odin give me succeed message.This indicates my mainboard is still safe.
My problem now is I cannot get into reocvery and the boot loop persists.
I believe that my problem would be not being able to wipe data /cache as I can't get into recovery mode.
So my question is can I wipe data and cache using odin ? If yes, coudd anyone tell me how?
Also, please advise me on what else to try on my S3.
I am really desperate and out of ideas.
Your help would be greatly appreciated !
Thank you.

I'm not sure if this helps, but I have two points:
the red exclamation mark is usual after flashing non-Samsung images.
If you check "Re-Partition" in Odin, the data should be wiped.
DISCLAIMER: No guaranty! Your're using Odin at your own risk
If you have wiped data it old be damaged NAND flashing stock and a data wipe should fix any software problems.

Hi JJE,
so the symptoms i posted point to a damanged Nand?
would it be posssible that the Nand is damaged and i still manage to flash stock rom via ODIN without any error message?
thanks for your help.
One flash stock rom = failed .
Two Recovery = failed
Flash Rescue firmware = failed
Service centre answer = needs a motherboard .

Nand is most likely fried...however if not, try flashing with repartition and pit, you cannot loose much if your phone doesnt work anyways. BTW, on which firmware/kernel dis this occur?

Hi.
I have tried repartitioning using the rescue firmware. Still boot loop.
I cant remember the firmware/kernel the s3 had.
Anyway, i guess now i have confirmed that my s3 is dead.
nevertheless, thank you guys for responding.
Cheers.
Hey guys, so my mate had a S3, its only rooted, only 2 weeks ago he said it doesn't power on. I had a look at it and its seems its got the SDS.
The device can go into download load, but when I tried to install a stock ROM with Odin it says pit needed, or something like that. Any help? I'm free to answer any questions
Thanks guys

I did, I've been using Odin for ages on my S3. I only used the tar file that came from the extracted firmware package, so I don't know why Odin requires the pit files, its leading me to think that the emmc is gone and the mainboard needs to be replaced, I hope its not though, so can anyone else help me?

There have been many cases recently with the Pit problem and to my knowledge none of them was able to revive their device. Was it a SDS that caused the problem? I don't know. How did it happen in the first place? Did he experience performance problems with his device or sudden reboots before it happened?
Also what about the flash counter in Download mode? Does it say Samsung official?

The custom System Status could void his warranty but not necessarily, depends on the service center.

I had the same problem and solved it with this solution.
Hi! I had a really bad week trying to get rid of my self-inflicted bootloop issue. I tried so many things I'm not really sure anymore what I actually did to cause the problems that I am having now. Anyway, the current state is as follows:
When I try to flash any stock rom in Odin (1.85 or 3.07), I get "FAIL!" directly in the first box and the procedure stops.
When I try to flash with a PIT file Odin says "No PIT partition found" and fails.
When I try to flash just a new recovery in Heimdall, the flash succeeds but i still go into the same old recovery(!)
When I try to flash anything in Heimdall with repartition checked, the process fails.
When I try to flash using the Kies firmware recovery update-thing, it also fails.
I still can get into download mode and I still have the model number at the top (so no sudden death?)
I still can get into CWM recovery, but it is sort of unstable, some commands makes it freeze. Flashing/formatting in CWM does not get me out of the bootloop.
I do know I probably caused this myself by messing with the PIT files, feel free to lecture me on the subject if you must, but I think I have learnt my lesson already. The resaon I did it in the first place was I started out using Heimdall on my mac and did not have the brains to read out my own PIT but used one out of some guide. Since then I tried Odin on a couple of Windows machines, making sure to not connect to a usb-hub, making sure to have a proper cable and all that stuff..
So, the final question: Anything more to try before admitting total failure and giving it up for service?
No straight to a service center Samsung may repair under warranty .

Probably not, since I have CWM recovery and also custom counter showing 4..

Have you tried Kies Firmware Upgrade and Installation process under Tools, it resets the phone, wipes the phone data, settings and installs the latest version of firmware for your phone, if that doesn't work then the other options have already mentioned above.

No, what you wrote in your first post was Firmware Recovery which is different to Firmware Upgrade and Installation but if that's what you meant and it didn't work then guess your stuck with the repair centre.
Oops, yes sorry, thats what i meant!
The Aftermath...
So I just thought I would come back and tell the end of the storry..
Sent the phone in, marking the case as a non-warranty one since I had custom recovery and nonzero rom counter. One week later I get it back and, lo and behold, didn't have to pay anything as the repair was marked as a warranty case anyway by the technicians. Also, the description says the repair was successfully carried out according to my complaint (software failure, can't boot, permanent). However it also said they replaced some errornous electronics part.
Really surprised, but I'm not complaining! :victory:
Yeah you've been lucky

Its always going to depend upon the guy picking the phone up to repair good day bad day .
Samsung wont pay service centre unless their is an actual repair to the phone . Turn to many rooted phones away and you lose money .
