Hey guys.
Suddenly yesterday, I checked my s3 (which was turned on and working few minutes before) and it was stuck on the logo screen. I removed the battery and I tried to reboot it, but now it's always stuck on that s3 logo. If I plug it via usb it stucks on a gray battery with the circle thing not spinning. I noticed that in the last week also my phone was getting slower and freezing from time to time.
I can't get into the recovery mode, if I press power + home + volume it keeps showing the samsung logo, without getting me there.
I can get in the download mode. it says:
Odin mode (in red)
Product Name:
Custom binary download: No
Current Binary: Samsung Official
System Status: Custom
If i try to fix the problem through odin as soon as I try something it fails giving me the error: <ID:0/003> There is no PIT partition.
Is there any way to fix this problem? Is it SDS?
thanks for your time
SDS
so there is no way to fix it, except that sending it to the Samsung support ?

Im having same problem but it give this error
<ID:0/014> Complete(Write) operation failed.
Is my motherboard gone too?
yes
May I ask what process and what file you are using to try to fix your problem using Odin? You may need to download official firmware for your phone and then flash this using the pda option. Keep in mind that the only other options that should be ticked are auto reboot and f reset time.
this problem is not fixable through odin
please help
Hi, just getting a very similar problem, except that I can access the recovery mode (CMW v6.0.4.4). I've been using temasek ROM so far without issue. What should I try? many thanks.
You can try to wipe data/factory reset and if the phone doesnt boot you can try to flash a oficial rom by Odin.
Hi, thanks. When I do the wipe data/factory reset, it seems to start doing it, I'm getting "wipe data" in CMW, then the samsung logo appears and it stays stuck.
have you tried flashing stock rom?
Try to flash a stock rom. Recovery will be replaced by stock and maybe we will have some extra info. It it a 9300 or a 9305?

I9300
where do I get a stock ROM? how do I flash? odin? thanks
From sammobile with Odin.
thanks, I managed to re-flash a stock ROM. Do I need to re-root it, re-install CMW to flash temasek ROM? thanks
You dont need to root in order to install a custom recovery.

hey, i'm fairly new to androids and rooting, i was running a biftor rom and everything was going fine, from what i can remember ROM Manager asked me if i'd like to update some binary or something it said it would automatically reboot into CWM but when it rebooted it didn't load CWM instead it just got stuck on the boot screen with an exclamation mark, when i try and enter recovery mode i get the empty battery logo but the circle underneath the battery that usually spins around is froze, the phone has full charge as it's been on charge all night, i can still enter download mode, I've tried to reflash the recovery with 0din but i get more problems with odin getting stuck on 'setup connection' and 'nand write start' can someone give me some advice please? I'm on an S2 i9100 btw, thanks.

reflash the recovery via Odin??? or you mean you flashed a stock rom?
Reflash the ROM or flash back to stock Android via Odin

Above poster is correct, need to re flash a stock ROM via Odin.
Just needed to say here though, never use ROM manager on an i9100. It's a sure-fire way to screw things up or brick, as you unfortunately found out the hard way :/

Hi Xda members!! My friend brought me his PURE STOCK gs2 after he tried to upgrade it via kies. The process killed his phone: when you switch on the device, the gt-i9100 logo appears, then goes away. Then appears the samsung bootanimation even with the sound. And at this point the phone is stuck. The Samsung logo keeps on glowing, but it doesn't go any further. I tried to access recovery or download mode via the keys combo, but they just don't work. I managed to go in download with the jig, and also by plugging the cable and pressing vol down, then inserting the battery. But this doesn't help either because flashing a stock firmware doesn't change anything. the flash goes well, everything is ok, but the phone keeps hanging at the Samsung's bootanimation. I searched for hours but didn't manage to find any solutions. I have even flashed the cwm/kernel by philz, but the result is the same. I have read entirely this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1457458 , but it says
If the phone enters Download mode but does NOT enter recovery mode (usually means a NAND rw corruption)
Doesn't flash
Bad flash in odin (FAIL after flashing, or the flashing suddenly stops)
Then it means that you have a bigger issue, such as the aforementioned NAND rw corruption.

This made me understand that the NAND rw corruption isn't my case because i flashed the stock firmwares from odin ( before i flashed a XWlSW 4.1.2 then a XWLPF 4.0.3 to see if there were any changes) and both the flashes went perfect.. In your opinion i should try a pit flash?? because i never tried it and i'm a bit scared SOOO at this point my brain is melting and i really don't know what to do.. so please if you can help me...
You can try flash the lph stock rom, its the full wipe ROM. I found a video but it's in Spanish maybe it works for you.

Hello,
I have a S3 which is stuck in a bootloop at the samsung logo.
when i turn it on it shows the logo for some seconds then the screen goes black and the logo re-appears.
i can not boot into recovery mode, but download mode is working without a problem every time.
i tried flashing stock firmwares with odin and also tried kies emergency firmware recovery. the flashing always went without any problem, but it had effect. whatever i try, i am never able to boot into recovery and still stuck in the bootloop.
in some tries after flashing the screen just shows the samsung logo forever, but after rebooting it once it then is stuck in a bootloop again (shows the logo - screen goes black - shows the logo...)
i also tried flashing TWRP and CWM via odin, but again i can never boot into recovery mode.
what should i try next?
thx alot for any helpful comment

You can Try this:
1.) Pull out battery
2.) Put it in again
3.) Press Vol up + home + power
4.) When the Samsung Logo appears let it off
I think you press the Buttons too long.
I had the same problem!

i really tried everything, it's not working. btw with i am stuck at the very first image, where it says "samsung Galaxy sII GT-I9300".
i dont think it's just the way i press the buttons because i can reach it on my s1 and s2 without a problem, it's just not working on this device.
could some setting like "nand erase all" in odin help? in other threads there is sometimes mentioned that the internal file system might be screwed up and in those cases a simple odin reflash does not help anymore...
Nand erase will usually hard brick it. Try the rescue firmware from general forum, sticky thread. Follow the guide exactly as it includes a pit file.

thx, but i already did that (multiple times) and flashing via odin always succeeds. then the phone reboots and is stuck at the first samsung galaxy s.. screen. twice i managed somehow to get into recovery (after flashing cwm6) but it then randomly rebooted.
and i dont think that the power button is stuck because when i am in download mode it is perfectly fine it never reboots itself unexpectedly.
Had a similar issue on my tab2 p3100. It all happened when I tried flashing a custom recovery from rom manager.
A bad flash of anything related to recovery or bootloader could be a probable cause.
I remember a knowledge share on one of the threads describing this issue and as mentioned on it all I had to do is this:
1) switch off the device and plug in the charger. This would light up the display showing you the charging status. The status has to show if at least your bootloader part of the phone is fine.
2) plug out the charger and immediately press the three buttons (home + vol up + power) get into recovery mode. This step has to work and help you get to recovery mode.
***Note : the interval within which this step has to be performed is too short since the display would turn off immediately as soon as you plug out the charger. A bit tricky too so you have to be fast. If this misses getting you into recovery, pull out the battery and put it back again. Repeat step1 and 2 again.
3) upon successfully getting into recovery, perform wipe data, cache and select reboot phone from option available on recovery again.
Allow the device to boot. This could take a while since you have performed a data wipe and may prompt for first time set up.
I was able to restore functionality on my tab after these steps and like ppl learn from their mistakes, I then learnt that recoveries and bootloaders are things that needs to be done with a pc only.
Worth a try if you have tried other alternatives and found no go. may help. Who knows..
all the best.
thats also not working. i tried to get into recovery since two days now...
i also tried the steps from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/help/solved-pit-bricked-dead-problem-gt-t2535367
but again, after i flash the cf-root (successfully) the phone does neither boot into recovery by itself nor can i do it by hand...
its crazy... in download mode i can see the model number (GT-I9300) and i thought as long as the model number is there and i can enter download mode there should be a way to recover the device.
but i cannot think of anything to try that i have not done yet
If the rescue firmware didn't help then it looks like the emmc chip is damaged.

is there a way to make certain of this? how can i tell if it is really a hardware damage and not just a software brick?
i just dont want to let the phone go, it looks still so shiny
is there anything else that could cause the phone not booting into recovery mode after flashing custom recoveries?

Same here, still didn't found how to fix it.. I guess our motherboard just died..
Howewer I have a solution that "almost" worked for me.
Get a stock firmware in odin and turn on Nand erase and T-flash
When it's done phone reboots and you'll see just "Downloading..." mode when you turn it on.
Then got to Kies and Select firmware recovery...
Enter s/n and model name and wait for the flash to complete.
With it , I got past boot logo and actually booted into android but the phone crashed because I guess I have a memory issue..
Well , gl. If you don't find anything else helpful , try going with this method..
Hi,
Am new to XDA- Forums so please pardon me if am not clear in my questions/queries.
Issue:
I am using Samsung Galaxy S3 I9300 , few days back it suddenly went into bootloop( every time i switch on the device it starts upto Samsung logo and re-starts the same process again and again).
Details:
OS : 4.3.3 Jelly Bean
Observations:
Recovery mode is not available - it only shows an android icon with an exclamatory mark and a caption 'No Command'.
Resolutions tried:
1) Tried flashing the ROM with Official stock Rom but all practices in vain.
Possible reasons:
Is the device soft bricked. or is it a power button shot which causes it to boot loop.
Kindly assist me. Thanks in Advance

Yes.. it goes in download mode.
Flash a full stock firmware, the latest for your country, using Odin then factory reset.
If that works then all is well, but you might find Odin fails to flash due to nand memory damage/wear.
Hi,
Thanks to all for your valuable time and suggestions.
Currently my device is started and is working. But there are hick-up's which needs some clarifications.
Below steps were performed:
1) Initially I did not use to get recovery option from where i was not able to wipe data, so after researching a bit i found a suggestion to apply re-partition. So i used 'GT-I9300_mx_20120329_100%.pit' file and started the re-partition. All went fine but in Odin during re-partition it was stuck at a statement 'NAND write start' for about more then 30 minutes. So i was worried n unplugged the device in between. Fortunately after restart, it went into recovery mode and i applied wipe data factory reset.
2) Still the device got stuck in some weird screen called 'installier der anderden'. But now no bootloop (an affirmative sign :laugh.
3)Today i installed the official stock rom of samsung galaxy s3 for india and now its working. But the hick- up is
it restarts/ hangs or it shows Unfortunately so n so app has stopped.
Need guidance on below points:
1)Should i re-partition again using the .pit file. (now i will re-partition using 'SG3 16GB White.pit' got a link for this from xda forum).
2) After re-partition, installation of stock rom.
Thanks in advance.
Flash stock firmware and pit at the same time, then factory reset afterward.
If the phone still freezes or restarts after this then nand memory is worn, for which there is no cure.
Unfortunately every google app stops after some time.
Any solution/recommendations..
Should i apply re-partition and again apply an official stock rom ..
I have an S3 GT-I9300 and about a week ago it started refusing to turn on. It was fully charged, and I'd get LED indicators for messages, emails etc, but none of the buttons would switch on the screen, neither would unplugging the cable. The only way to fix it was to remove the battery, and after removing it one time, it refused to boot, sticking at the Samsung logo screen. Recovery mode wouldn't work, I tried resetting to factory settings, and wiping the phone, but it kept sticking (I think at cache), and wouldn't boot whatever I did.
I tried to update the firmware through Kies, which just froze at 94% every time. I also tried Odin, which again froze about the same point. So I tried following this guide, but when the phone restarted it tried looking for files on an SD card (which I don't have), so no luck. I tried repartitioning, but it keeps failing and if I try to flash the phone it now fails with "there is no PIT partition". I can't remember at which point it started happening, but although I can still get into download mode, switching the phone on any other way gives me a glitched screen something like this.
Is there any way at all to fix this phone at this point?
@edwards87: I'm confused about your description: no recovery mode, but factory reset? A root tool for rescue?
If you can boot into download mode, download actual firmware and Odin from sammobile.com (all new, delete old stuff) and try to flash it.

I can get into download mode (power + home + vol down), but can no longer get into recovery mode (power + home + vol up). When I could get into recovery mode right at the start, none of the recovery options did anything because it said there were missing files or directories.
I've tried several firmwares from sammobile through different versions of Odin and they all froze at the same place towards the end. Now none of them go anywhere because there's no PIT partition.
Then my next step would be a 3part-firmware +PIT-file.
