I need some help please. I accidentally formatted my tablets system when I wanted to format SD Card.
I went and formatted SD Card after not thinking my ROMS are on it! So now im stuck at the Galaxy Tab logo prompt on
boot up and I have no files to install. How can I copy a file over to the device?
I have not tried connecting to my computer yet but I feel it wont connect due to the device not fully booted.
I can get to download mode... Is there a stock odin file I can push to the device to get it up and running again?
If someone could help me I would appreciate it! Thanks!
Boot into download mode, then from your computer flash the stock tar.md5 via Odin.
Get them from here www.sammobile.com

I tried to register on sammobile.com but for some reason was not able to. Browser related I think.
I found the site samsung-updates.com and found straight downloads.
Does it matter which region I download?

Well... I've done it again... But this time I can't seem to unbrick it. I tried to flash hanthesolo's stratusrom but it failed and bootlooped. So I went and tried restore from a backup that had cm7. For some reason it bootlooped again. so I went in to Odin and tried to go back to stock just to get things working again. I failed and ended up going to stock recovery with a bunch of errors. So then I just panicked and tried flashing different combos of pit files and roms and stuff. Now I can boot into cwm. But I still can't restore from an older backup or revert to stock firmware. Any ideas???

I made instructions for the US device. Read them below in the thread. (it is normal that no .tar.md5 are here)
Drivers fail to install. I also can't open heimdall frontend exe. Some dll file is missing or something.

You will need Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 redistributables. And put your device into download mode when your are installing the drivers.
I can't seem to find windows visual c++ 2010 for x32. And I did have my player in download mode when I installed the drivers.

Doesn't sound good. I'm not familiar enough with your phone to be much more help. Trying to find a pit file that'll help is very dicey. The only suggestion I have is make sure the stock rom is correct and check it's md5. Go to sammobile.com for the ROM and extract the .tar.md5 file out of the zip you download using 7 zip. Use that file in PDA in odin with only auto reboot checked.
Hopefully someone who is more familiar with your phone can step in. Good luck to you.

You're not hard bricked so that's the good news. Not sure where you got the stock rom but sammobile.com has skyways worked for me. Sometimes you have to keep trying to flash it in odin. I've had cases where it took a few tries. But make sure you flash on PDA with only auto reboot checked.

cheers for your help
I will try to keep this short and sweet, but it is what it is. Please don't let this be the end of my phone!! so i had my vibrant rooted and running a cm. 10 rom. i was an idiot and when it randomly flipped into recovery mode and wouldn't do anything else i panicked. I immediately factory reset which wasn't bad but when the problem wasn't solved instead of reinstalling the zip, (I wasn't thinking about it at the time) I figured using odin I would reinstall éclair. now my phone is in boot loop and will only pull up the boot menu if the sd card is in. another symptom is that when i use odin to install éclair everything in the process works as it should up until it gets to the reset then the phone says cannot wipe data... phone reboot then it shows that it is charging and when i unplug it and try to power it up i still get boot loop if anyone knows the solution to this I would greatly appreciate it and any other ideas I could try to bring this baby back to life. ANY SUGGESTIONS AT ALL ARE GREATLY APPRECIATED
Perhaps you are not using Odin properly? You're using the file called pda .tar and the .pit file? And be sure to uncheck the repartition toggle.

I assume that I am doing it right... from what I have researched it is correct. I have double checked to make sure that the tar goes into the pda and that the pit has pit. but the reparition toggle may be something I over looked. I just downloaded the pit and tar files online would there be anyway that those could be the wrong file or I have to use a proper combination of two files? do you suggest downloading those files from a certain site? Once again thanks a bunch for your comment!

I could not figure that program out to save my life the comments made me believe that its an app for the phone itself. but my phone doesn't boot up.
im kinda thinking that the problem is actually when the phone says cant wipe data. because then the loading bar stops and it boots straight from there. What would keep the phone from not being able to wipe the data?
Use that aio program. Put the phone into download mode start phone while holding volume up and power. Then use the aio oden. It cones with the correct files.

A corrupted internal SD card most likely , have you been on an ICS ROM lately? Try to Odin Eugene's Froyo that does not brick, if this works then you most likely got hit by the EU bug. If this is the case you will have to do the external SD card work around.

YES I was on ics passion for quite some time. Then I went to ics slim then I went all the way to cm 10 jelly bean. would you mind sending me a link or the files for that froyo? also if my phone does have a dead internal, will that effect how the phone runs (using the external?) and is there a way to recover it the dead one? sorry lots of questions! thank you for your comment!

maybe this will tell you more if my phone has a dead internal sd card. I just barley noticed this but the phone actually doesn't bootloop unless the external sd card is in. if the external is in the phone shows the Samsung vibrant logo and then it turns off. if you hit power it will try to boot again.

Not necessarily but it is looking that way. If what Apples723 suggested doesn't work then try to Odin Eugene's Froyo and see if that will boot up. It can be found in the thread he linked but here it is again http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1875966.

Help guys i cant flash any ROM,Gapps etc But i can flash superSU,recoveries.
I can Also flash Stock ROM Via ODIN but I cannot flash any custom ROM? I tried different recoveries
Here's what happens when i flash the ROM i select the file it shows the progress and then after 30 seconds it Reboots Recovery or refreshes recovery (because the log is afresh or nothing is in the log).
Use an official cwm recovery from the official website and try again.

Sorry for open another topic about Galaxy S lll I9300 brick, but after search a solution I haven't found any, because this looks a strange brick (at least for me, this is a friend's device and it's been a long time I don't put my hands on a Samsung to do some mod).
I try to explain better as I can, sorry for my poor english in advance.
My friend told me it bricked during an official update, I don't know if debug is enabled and right now I can't see or enable by myself.
I can boot up but I only see the splash screen, I can boot up to download mode, I can boot up to recovery (stock).
The problem is Odin fails any flash I've tried, Heimdal fails too, sideloading (with a custom rom and in recovery mode) fails too, flash from external sd fails again.
When I boot on recovery mode I see a lot of errors (like: can't mount cache, can't mount this, can't mount that ect..).
I wanted to try to flash a 4 file fw, maybe it works different then a one file fw, but I'm not able to find one in any place, could someone give a help?
Thanks in advance.
Definitely seems like an odd one. Have you tried flashing a stock ROM in recovery via external SD at all?

Yes, but seems external sd isn't recognized, when I select it to flash I see only . ./ symbols.
This is how appear in recovery mode, trying to flash from external sd and when I try to wipe data/cache.
Never seen that before but I would guess your partition is screwed. If you can, find a stock PIT file along with a stock ROM and try flashing through Odin. I would suggest a little more research first, but I think this might solve your problem.
Let me know.

I,ve searched a fw with 4 files (wich one is a .PIT file), but all the links bring me to an empty site, all files are removed, I don't know where to find it.
EDIT: seems with .PIT file repartition fails using Odin....
What is the exact model of the phone and what firmware was the update trying to flash? Post it and I'll see what I can find when I get some time tonight.

Sent from my SCH-I545 using XDA Free mobile app
Sorry for late answer, I've tried a pair of fw, both with one file, I'd like to try with a 4 file fw because of .pit file maybe helps. I didn't tried With bootloader only, I don't know where to find it.
