[Q] Cyanogenmod 9 crashed on s3. Trying to install stock firmware. Help? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 (GT-19300) international version. I rooted it last night. Took a custom backup of ROM and backup using Titanium backup. I installed cyanogenmod 9 on it today. It was working perfectly. Then when i installed Google apps (gapps) and restarted it got stuck on the bootscreen. I hardbooted and now all i see is this fuzzy black n white screen ( like static). I tried going into clockworkmod recovery but still the same screen. However, i can still go to odin mode.
So i guess i have to install stock firmware through odin now. But i'm unable to download the firmware. All links are on hotfile and as everyone knows , it sucks :/ download stops after 2 min. Cant find a mirror also.
Any ideas what to do? have u guys also encountered a similar problem?
Can someone download and send the firmware file to me somehow(anysend or wetransfer or something)? iv tried downloading it many times but failed

Have you tried downloading the firmware from Sammobile? If you haven't I would recommend taking a look at this link here for the official firmwares for the International Model Galaxy S3, after you have selected your country and carrier, you can download the firmware and flash it through Odin. Let me know if you still have questions .

Thanks for the fast reply
Thats the problem, everytime i try downloading the firmware it just stops in the middle. Anyway, i got the 4.2.2 firmware for my mobile. I tried flashing that, it said no partitioning. So i tried re-partitioning with the .PIT file. But it get stuck on 'Get PIT mapping' with 'SET PARTITON' in white on the box above (COM)port. Doesnt go further. How do i fix it?

Make sure you have loaded the partition file into the .pit file slot. Also I would recommend taking a look at this procedures "How to Proceed" section (Make sure to substitute the correct file's for your device and don't worry about the multi-CSC part of the procedure) on what to do if you get stuck at the "Get PIT mapping" section.

i tried in xp mode too. no luck.
then i tried with odin 1.85 instead of 3.07. Now it doesnt show Get PIT Mapping. It shows 're-partition failed'. I guess thats some progress
But its still a no go for phone. Any idea how to fix it?
I was thinking of flashing the CWM recovery again and try to go to recovery mode. Should i or is it too risky?
I'm also gonna try flashing with the recovery firmware i found on the forum today...

[Q] [nOOb Q] Semi bricked phone stock -> CM7.1-> ICS-> CM7.1 -> Bricked

Hi there, please go easy on me. I did search XDA, googled other places and tried other things but getting the same. I am coming from iOS, got SGS2 and played a bit with it. Decided to flash new ROM as samsung stock was slow.
1. Rooted my phone with SuperOneClick.
2. Installed ClockWorkMod.
3. Downloaded CM7, put it onto my SGS2 and installed with ClockWorkMod (volume up+power+home)
4. Went further and got mysellf Simplistic ROM ICS XXLPB installed it with ClockWorkMod
5. Wanted to go back to CM7 so tired installing it with ClockWirkMod but something went wring and I ended up with sem-bricked SGS2
Whenever I fire up the phoone, the battery logo appears but is doesnt show itis charging. When I connect to KIES is isnt connecting the only (good) thing is I can put it in a download mode and Odin sees it so I caan try flashing it but whotever rom I am flashing in, I am getting the same "Invalid MD5 value."
I wanna go back to stock rom ERA PL (I9100XXKE4 ERA 05.2011 2.3.3) when I unrar it i got the following files, seems like PIT file is missing. Have a look at the attached. How do I restore my phone with ondin?

Im not an expert so you might want to wait for a more experienced persons comment....
but go to sammobile.com and download the firmware you want to flash....if PIT file is required you can search for it i believe, i remmeber ive seen a place earlier where you can download it.
Hope it helps

Pit comes with each firmware but onSGS2 so far i believe its the same one . Details are on the site you got firmware from follow their instructions .
PIT file is not required and its dangerous for noobs to use .
Invalid MD5 value.
Two reasons why One bad download file corrupted or Two the more usual user is not following the instructions and making their own up .

Thank you for your invaluable help.
can flash cm7 GT-i9100G ????
Go to intratech's thread about firmwares and download from there. And don't use PIT. You don't need it.

Unexplained boot loop

Hi all, I hope you guys can help as I'm coming up blank here after days of trying to fix this.
First, yes I read this thread and a few people were reporting the same problem but the solution was always to flash a stock firmware with odin.
Right now my wife's phone is stuck in a boot loop, she doesn't do anything out of the ordinary with it, I rooted it when she first got it 3 months ago and then flashed a stock kernel to get rid of the yellow triangle and it has worked perfectly until last week when she told me it was stuck at the galaxy s2 logo. No problem I though, I'll just flash a stock rom with odin and all will be well.
Well it didn't work out that way, I've flashed the original firmware, an ICS leak, Villainrom 1.1 and XXKI3 multiple times, with and without pit file + re-partition. I've flashed the old bootloader and I've tried a few custom kernels as well, and multiple combinations of the above. Nothing is getting it past the boot loop. The only result I've had that is any different to how I started is with an ICS build I got a screen saying kernel panic upload (or something like that, I don't have that rom flashed at the moment). When I connect at this time odin recognises the phone so I guess it's in download mode.
I can't get into recovery mode so I can't do a factory reset, when I press vol-up, home and power I get a blank screen for a moment followed by the same boot loop. I can get into download mode and odin is reporting successful on every flash. When I flash a custom rom or kernel I get the yellow triangle, it goes away when I flash a stock rom or kernel.
According to my wife just before the crash android market reported updates available and she installed them. I don't know if that's related or not but she says when she went back to the phone it had hung so she turned off the phone, upon turning it on it was stuck in boot (the big animated purple S part of the boot) so she removed the battery and since then it doesn't get past the initial galaxy S2 screen, sometimes, depending on which kernel it's on, the galaxy screen goes blank for a second or two and then the logo comes back.
I've really tried everything I can think to try, warranty isn't really an option as I'm in Saudi Arabia and I've been told it will take 3 months to get the phone back, also I can't easily access a jig, I'd have to make one and I'm not too confident in my ability to do that.
If anyone has any ideas at this point please help, I can't think of anything else I can do here.
tl;dr random boot loop, tried flashing everything I can find, no recovery mode but download mode works fine, help!

Flash a full wipe firmware and see if that helps, if you need one there is a link at the bottom of my insecure kernel thread.
Thanks Odia,
I just flashed the firmware at the bottom of your thread, I9100XWKE7_CL215725_REV02_user_low. Tried it twice for good measure.
Unfortunately nothing has changed on the phone, still can't get into recovery or past the galaxy s2 logo.

Have you tried with repartition and update bootloader ticked?
I didn't tick either of those this time but I have ticked repartition with a different firmware that came with a pit file. Do I need a pit file or can I tick repartition without it?

You need a pit file, use the 1 from the other firmware.
Ok, I just tried XWKE7 again with a pit file with re-partition ticked. Also tried flashing the old bootloader again with update bootloader ticked.
No change I'm afraid.

Most strange, look like your off to service
That's most unfortunate, I'm in Saudi Arabia and they have quoted 3 months to get the phone back under warranty although in reality I'd be lucky to get it back at all.
Are my options really exhausted or is there anything extreme I can try?
I ended up making a jig and took it for warranty repair and they were able to do it locally, it only took a few days.
The curious thing is even though I repartitioned several times using two different pit files the sdcard partition was still intact.
I'm pretty sure I was doing it right and the yellow triangle was coming and going as I was flashing stock and custom kernels so the flashes were taking.
I don't speak Arabic so I couldn't ask how they fixed it but what do you think was the problem? I was very surprised to find the data intact, it even had the same stock ROM that I flashed before I took it for service still installed.
Anyway thanks for your help in this thread odia.

[Q] Rooted and Semi-Bricked

Hi,
I am pretty new to rooting though i read a lot and watched a lot of videos before rooting my samsung galaxy note gt-7000
i was installing cm9.1 stable and followed the directions from the cyanogenmod page here [EDIT: outside links not allowed]
I downloaded the hardcore CWM and heimdall suite
Did everything till step 4 , followinf step 5 i started getting a missing .dll file error
re installing vc++ didnt help.
Then i installed the zImage file from the CWM with the help of odin
Everything worked and i flashed the new CM 9.1 and rebooted my phone
i put the cm 9.1.zip file on the sd card and flashed the rom.
the phone did not detect the 11GB internal SD card so i thought maybe i should try re flashing the rom
I went into recovery mode and ther is no CWM recovery mode on my android now , only the stock android download target screen appears
I say semi bricked because After rebooting it gives the" com. android .phone" is not working error
I tried re installing the Zimage file with odin and it installs easily but when i reboot into recovery mode CWM doesn't show up
Can't use my phone and can't re root!
Please Help!
ok i somehow got cwm working again and the com error is gone
but the problem of my internal storage not showing up is still there
now, its not even detecting the external sd card
So i have lost access to both the memories
Can't Anyone help??
ok after no help from anywhere i showed my phone at samsung service center
they surprisingly had no clue about rooting , but then i got a call from a rep telling me that the motherboard needs to be replaced for about 180$!!!

May be I'm a little late with this reply. But if you have not paid the $180 yet, Can try flashing the samsung stock rom from sammobile.com and try flashing it through odin using the download mode on the phone. If it still didn't work, also try flashing the correct PIT file along with the ROM from odin. See if either of this helps you in getting the internal memory working.

I read somewhere that 'motherboard not working' is the default reply of any oem service center you'd take a rooted phone too so i didn't pay them
Thank you so much for the info, i am downloading the stock firmware now, where can i get the matching Pit file withe stock firmware
Ill get back to you when i try the stock rom
Flashed the stock rom, the phone is working like a charm now

GT-I9300 Help!, Tried everything on here...

Hey guys,
I've spent the better half of 8 hours looking on multiple forums/downloading roms/attempting to flash my cousin's GT-I9300.
I attempted KIES update and emergency maintenance and they both start freezing.
I attemped odin with a multitude of roms with the model & serial given by kies (PDA:LLB / PHONE: LLA / CSC: LL3)
I've even downloading android commander to no avail.
I've successfully rooted and flashed my i747 multiple times so i'm somewhat familiar with the odin flash process, but this is a bit unsual.. and frustrating lol.
The phone is in reboot cycle (loops after the samsung logo animation), won't let me access recovery but will let me get into odin recovery.
Odin seems to have failed at every stock rom flash...
ANY help?

I assume with odin recovery you mean download mode? If so try to flash a stock ROM (maybe first a version that is from your region, you can find them on sammobile.com) via Odin and make sure that KIES is turned off (also from task manager, even better uninstall it). Do you have any error message showing up when you try to flash with Odin?
Try the flash again, and if it loops, try booting recovery and doing a reset......yes,I know you said you can't get into recovery, but just try after the flash
Also remember it can take a few minutes to boot after a flash, so be patient and give it a chance
---------- Post added at 07:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:28 AM ----------
Also what does the Odin log say/what stage is it failing at?

I've attempted to flash maybe 7-8 different roms. My cousin won the gt i9300 at a raffle overseas so thats why im unsure of what exact country it is. Is there a definitive way of finding which country exactly? I do know it was an unbranded rom and fully unlocked because he's been using it here (w/ straighttalk) for the past 6 months or so just fine i even flashed jellybean 4.1.1 when it was first released (via kies).
When I try to and get the version from kies it tells me (PDA:LLB / PHONE: LLA / CSC: LL3) but no country.. so idk if there's a definite way of finding this out. I'm downloading ICS rom and gonna try and roll back the rom as i've read some people did that and it worked.
Once i bring up download mode it says on the top (ODIN MODE) and binary download count YES (1 count) and rom as custom. I attempt to flash Odin it always fails right after system.img. never gets past i've tried to do multiple attempts(5-6) per rom but no luck yet. never gets past "downloading... do not turn off) phase.
thanks alot for the assistance guys!
CSC more or less tells you the country .
Overseas first question then is it actually I9300 look under the battery .

Model Number under battery says GT-I9300 same thing that's prompted during kies for emergency recovery.. which downloads but ends up not recognizing it. Odin flash on the other hand recongizes it when i plug it but keeps failing.
LL3 is from Pakistan http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/?model=GT-I9300&pcode=PAK#firmware
Try downloading any unbranded firmware cause it's pretty much it's the same thing. You can always change the csc after you flash your phone.
or Download the right firmware on the country on which you are right now.
Then follow the youtube guide here on how to properly flash it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646610. You can just skip the unrooting part i guess.
EDIT:
Annandale is in UK right? On the 2nd link that i gave you the first firmware there is from UK so i think you can flash that one.

the pit files that was posted there was for the 64gb one if you are using the 16gb one so I've uploaded the pit files for all SIII storage models.
just take note of this:
GT-I9300_mx_20120220.pit = Galaxy S3 of 16 Gb
GT-I9300_mx_20120322.pit = Galaxy S3 of 32 Gb
GT-I9300_mx_20120329.pit = Galaxy S3 of 64 Gb
And make sure to follow the the instructions there. Likewise credits goes to the posters there and not me lol.

I had a similar problem, my phone just froze in the middle of a phone call, had to pull out battery, and when i tried to turn it on, it wouldn't pass the second "SAMSUNG" logo, just stayed there forever, with the blue light (Official JB 4.1.2 - not rooted)... Anyway, after 3 days of trying, downloaded bunch of firmwares, but all of them gave me the infamous "Complete(Write) operation failed". This is how I MANAGED to revive my i9300 16Gb Int:
1.Open ODIN, load ONLY the pit file corresponding to your phone (In my case i9300 16Gb Int'l - GT-I9300_mx_20120220.pit), check "Repartition" and "F.Reset Time" and hit "Start".
- If this step goes OK (All threads completed. (succeed 1 / failed 0))
2. Click on the "Reset" button in Odin (or close and re-open it), in PDA select "recovery-cwm-touch-6.0.1.2-i9300.tar", make sure only "F.Reset Time" and "Auto Reboot" are checked, and flash it. If everything goes OK, you should now have CWM instead of Stock recovery.
3. Take any microSD card, any size, and put THIS file on the root of the microSD using a card reader or whatever you prefer - but be careful, copy the zip as it is - do not unzip it.
4. Insert the memory card in the phone, enter recovery*, and select "Install zip from External Storage" and choose the file you put on the root of the card (by the way, it's a 4.0.4 downgrade bootloader), it should flash in a second, the phone will restart, and that's it!
5. Download and flash 4.0.4 Stock FW using Odin (i used "I9300XXBLH1_OXEBLF1.zip"), everything should go OK, and the phone will be bootable again.
*(my phone didn't wanted to enter recovery the old fashioned way using 3-button combo, but i managed to enter recovery from charging mode, by connecting the charger on a switched off phone, and as soon it starts charging press Vol Up + Home + Power, and when the FIRST Logo (Galaxy S III GT-I9300) appears, let go of the power button, keep pressing the Vol Up + Home, and it enters recovery).

s3 bootloop cant use odin.

So basically i tried to flash cm10.1 but i didnt wipe so it didnt turn on. I tried to get into recovery but that doesnt work so i tried to flash stock drom via odin but it gets stuck on NAND WRITE START. I tried differrnt phones everything i searched the forums but cant find a solution that works for me. If i boot the phone i only get the first screen for half a sec then black then half sec again... Its a 16gb s3 international from Netherlands.

Maybe the re-partition is the issue but I got no experience in that area.
Yep probably another one broke the PIT ..
requires a service centre or flashing firmware like .
