My s3 drive me crazy. I have been using it for 1 year, recently I could not awake it from sleep.
It somehow reboot or just stuck with black screen without any response no matter I pressed any buttons. It happens every time when it go sleep,
I manage to keep my phone wake up by ticking "stay awake" and plug my phone with USB cable for now. But obviously, when I am out this doesn't work....
I have tried to flash Samsung stock Rom 4.0.4 and any other custom Roms, but the symptom is the same, dead while sleeping.
It also sometime freeze in samsung log occasionally, and then reboot itself.
THIS IS REALLY DRIVE ME CRAZY!! PLEASE HELP ME !!!
have you tried Factory data reset?
Your phone is too lazy.

Flash stock rom via Odin next step. Still a problem you need service centre . jje
are you running stock rom and stock recovery as well as stock kernel? did you use odin or kies ? if you use custom roms and recoveries and kernels you may have problems. you mention flashing 4.0.4 , did you try 4.1.2? you can find the latest odin flashable official firmwares at sammobile. going back to stock is probably a better option than taking the custom route. especially if the problem is hardware related . also if you need to get the phone serviced under warranty. good luck

yes. as JJE already mentioned, you try flashing the latest JB firmware of your region. no ICS firmwares!

he meant whether you've flashed any custom kernel . even if you have , if you full firmware flash everything will be back to stock.

Yes, and it needs to be done. Just go through the normal full flash for warranty process (guides for this in General) and factory reset. If it still happens, you've ruled out software /data and can only be hardware.

Unfortunately, your ship is INSANE and there is a big chance that your phone is dying slowly. It is something similar to sudden death
You should go here an apply fixes, hoping it is not too late for you, just read carefully what to do

Hey guys,
I'm trying to flash the S2 back to UK Factory kernal as I want to take it back for a warranty claim.
I've unrooted the phone so far, but bnow want to restore the phone with a stock/factory kernal, however the links for the factory kernals in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 don't work. I keep getting messages that the files have been removed due to copyright violati ions etc...
Can somebody please help?
Cheers
Try here, if not Samfirmware, if not you'll have to flash an entire stock rom (which is what I'd probably do regardless if I was returning a phone for a warranty claim).
Thanks for the links MistahBungle, but what do you mean by 'flash an entire stock rom'. Is it not sufficient to just flash with a kernal from the links?
How difficult is it to do the entire stock rom? I'd rather be safe than sorry, if flashing the entire stock rom keeps the warranty inatct...
cheers
here you go stock rom ,kernek and modems
I mean, instead of flashing just the kernel, flashing the entire rom package (which also obviously contains the kernel). You don't absolutely have to do this, it's just what I'd do (just my personal preference).
It's no more difficult to flash a whole rom, just the download will take longer as it's a couple of hundred MB Vs a few MB for a kernel.
Do whatever you're comfortable with ;-)

:S connected phone in dowload mode and ran Odin, downloaded firmware file from site that apk_xiz suggested (downloaded one that had XX in the region, as that should be the one for UK?)
Loaded tar.nd5 file in pda on odin and hit start and the the phone just stays in downloading and nothing happens now?? Odin says all hread completed suceed 0 and failed 0?
Can somebody please shed some light
Check Windoze Task Manager & kill Kies/related processes if they're running. If they're not, go thru as many of the following steps as you need to:-
*Must run Odin as administrator in Windoze.
*Try different USB ports; you must be using a 'powered' or mainboard port.
*Try different USB cables (particularly the cable that came with the phone if you're not using it now)
*Try different versions of Odin (search on here/Google)
*Uninstall Kies, reboot, redownload & reinstall it, reboot, try the flash again. Also run Windoze Update.
And if all this fails, try a different PC. And if it doesn't work first go on the 2nd PC, go thru the above steps on that PC.

---------- Post added at 07:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:22 PM ----------
if that way won't work then i will tell you difficult way (adb way)
Thank you so much guys, think Its going back to stock now, still downloading as I type...
I've noticed though that the bianry counter states 3 downloads :S I take it I need to buy a 'JIG' tool to reset this counter back to '0'?
Or can I just do a factory erase/reset by holding up menu and power then selecting restore/erase option, would that reset the counter too?
Yep, buy a jig on eBay (costs a couple of bucks), provided you're not running the 'new' bootloader, the jig will reset your flash counter.
If you find the jig doesn't work, you have two options; flash the 'old' bootloader, or use Triangle Away to reset the flash counter.
But don't worry about that now, get your phone working, buy a jig (even if it doesn't reset your flash counter, could come in handy if you can't get into download mode someday for whatever reason) & see how it goes.
no you won't have to buy any zig to reset your binary count just root your phone and download triangle away and you are good to go .
enjoy
Okay, phone is working again with stock firmware...
Now, I already had a battery temprature problem with the phone, it didn't restart without plugging in with a charger when you would power it down... But now after restore, it keeps telling me that charging has been paused due to high voltage and the battery icon keeps flashing in the top right corner on the screen?? Should I just leave this one for the warranty then?
Seriously, you've messed with it enough, haven't you ? ;-P Send it in for warranty, add that problem to the list of other stuff you tell them about.

just the 'jig' and i'll throw it back to them I'll update once I hear back.
Thanks for the help dude
As Apk_Xiz, said, you're going to have to use Triangle Away to reset the flash counter if you've flashed an ICS stock firmware. Go to that thread he linked to if that's the case, read the instructions & go for it. But if you've flashed a Gingerbread stock rom, yeah, wait for the jig & reset it then send it off.

You put phone into download mode and flash through Odin. There are many guides on here for directions
Here's one guide. Read the full first page
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21659039
yeah i know, many guides i have done, walked through, but nothing helps. odin flashes without problem. phone restarts and still no recovery with bootloop... flashed this and that.. and still same issues.
Flash JB leak firmware via odin (comes as 3 parts - Pda, phone and csc). Then see if it boots. If it doesn't, try to enter recovery and factort reset.
Report back what happens.

I've seen a couple of these cases happening lately, my bet is on the bootloader, eventhough I don't encourage people to try flashing it. Or, as always, OP is holding something back.
Neo, I'm not familiar with the ROM being downloaded from a non-stable internet connection and I know you get them from an internet cafe. Now, is it possible that Odin would allow (flash) a corrupted ROM?

I literally did this yesterday. After you flash stock you have to boot into 3e (stock recovery) and wipe data. This will stop the bootloop and you can carry on with rooting if that's what you want.
It's better to wipe dalvik, you need CWM for that, that's why it's always suggested to flash a custom ROM when on a bootloop.
Sent from the little guy
jeah i know but whatever i flash i still have no recovery...
ok now its official. phone memory is problem, i went to service today and they told me that when i flash with odin the values that i flash dont stay in the memory, on the next boot
those values get clear, memory bug of some kind, he said that he can manual and direct approach to the motherboard and write recovery directly but he cant say if it will always
work like it is suppose to.
Hum....I think you're getting conned, as the matter of fact, he must be reading this right now.

Hello. This is bothering me. I've tried searching but seems nothing helps.
Here's the scenario: (It was my 2nd attempt to flash)
I was running the touchwiz (but my phone was basically, rooted).. This paste few days, it started to hang and freeze every once in a while. Then i noticed that freezing became frequent. So i decided to flash ROM.
I used this AOKP Milestone2 because they say it is stable http://aokp.co/devices/i9300# and G-apps4.2 - Everything runs smoothly and after the reboot, the homescreen get stucked on the "welcome screen" I wasn't able to hit the "start" button. it's freezing. After a while.. It automatically shuts down.
I tried to re-flash it.
Sometimes, i was able to pass through and open playstore, then it hangs again?! I have to force power-off it to work then it happens again.
NOW..
I restored my Nand back-up (Touchwiz) hoping it'll work at least. but then after reaching the interface.. It was again freezed. T.T
I cannot use my phone now.
I was planning to do the BrickedBug checked but i cannot because i cannot access my phone.
Please, any help or enlightment or same experiences?
Thank you very much in advance! ^_^
No idea what you have flashed its not from XDA suggest you ask that site what's wrong .
But first boot to download mode what does product code say if nothing then you need a new motherboard .
In that respect read the SDS sudden death syndrome sticky and Phone Freezing sticky .

I read in here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2091045 and its says
Recap
..if you checked you have VTU00M 0xf1 with EMMC check , you need to ensure:
If unrooted (never rooted / modded), you are on one of the "Stock" ROMs listed above
If rooted, you have one of the "Custom Kernels" OR "Custom ROMs including kernel" OR rooted "stock" with original kernel AND one of the "Custom recoveries" from the lists below

You have posted in the development forum. Try Q&A.
Also if you can't find Odin file here, try to search google. You may find an active somewhere else. Other than that, you can wait. if I ever get off work I could probably scrounge up a copy to my dropbox.

here's a link to stock jb:

it includes the rom, cwm recovery, supersu, odin, kernel, and modem.
odin the rom first, then the recovery.
copy supersu to the phone and install thru cwm.
you'll need to update binaries.
also included is the current cwm recovery i use to install kit kat roms.

Finally d/l at work, odined the rom and encountered "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue, Please select recovery mode in kies and try again"
Phone cannot enter recov. mode nor download mode. I tried kies and 2 issues came up 1 my phone has no serial number, I entered wife's S/No. (same exact phone, both made in Korea) but the second problem is that kies wants me to turn off phone, and enter d/l mode which isn't coming up.
I tried my JIG thingy but same screen comes up.
How do I fix this?
ATTN: MOD

Could be, really don't know for sure. Note has this screen. Anything I attempt it's resulting in the following screen below. DL mode, hit volume up and bam, same screen. Recovery, same deal, try to boot normally = same. Even a jig gets the DL mode first screen and then bam! Is there any way to fix this or Is the phone at the point of jtag repair, or worse a brick?

plugin Samsung device to PC and start Odin
Fill in the corresponding files
AP CP BL CSC or HOME_CSC
*Home CSC will keep the data , CSC will wipe it*
Once it displays connected start flashing
*TIP* uncheck auto reboot in Odin and don't touch any of the other settings. After it's finished, manually boot into recovery mode and perform a factory reset , wipe the data
Good luck.

I have used Odin to unbrick , root, put twrp on my beyond1 (S10) and it has worked for me. Yes you can use this, but I take no responsibility
On my phone SM-G973F I have installed Android 11. System is root with Magisc. When I have root with Magisc, I can't have TWRP. If I have TWRP, I can't root with Magisc.

I think you just need to patch the recovery image with magisk. Read more on it here
Hey, I just came across your thread to revert to stock & thought maybe you can help me out. I was flashing some rom on my s10 & it bricked. So I went to Odin & tried flashing the stock firmware. Now the issue is that even though the stock firmware is successfully flashing, the phone won't boot at all. After odin finishes flashing, the phone reboots to show an erasing screen. The cycle runs for lesser than a second, freezes & the screen turns off after which no matter what I try I can't reboot the phone. I can still go into recovery & download mode but can't boot the system. Any help would be appreciated like crazy!
I had a similar problem. With Frija app, again I downloaded the Installation Pack for Android. After that, I installed Android with Odin and everything was okay. I have chosen CSC, I did not choose HOME CSC.

Yeah I guess so everything will be stock but the unlocked bootloader
Will OTA updates work after returning to stock?

Yeah I got it figured out. I think the issue was with the kernel. I flashed a kernel with a custom rom first & that booted just fine. Once I went through the boot process, I started the phone in download mode & flashed the stock os. It brought my phone right back

I had LOS19 on there, wiped everything then flashed derpfest to try & it kept rebooting. So then I thought might be the FW/Bootloader so flashed that & I think I triggered the ARB. Downloaded the latest FW, installed via Odin & this, can only get into download mode or Samsung recovery. How can this happen when you flash all original FW via Odin, starange
