Hi there, recently a friend of mine who is on china brought me a souvenir, Yes it was Samsung Galaxy SIII. And yes again, it is my first android phone.
The phone comes with no play store and heck a lot of chinese apps from china-unicom one of the biggest operator in china.
I know nothing about chinese (chinese as in the letter) hence i read forums, and i downloaded the ROM for indonesia Galaxy I9300, and I flash the phone using ODIN v3.04. and Unfortunately, or the flashing failed and now my phone is stuck at "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue, please select recovery mode in KIES & Try again"
I downloaded the KIES, and when i found the "EMERGENCY FIRMWARE RECOVERY, he asked me for pin which i dont know.
any help is appreciated
Cheers
Win Chandra
Just flash the firmware again using Odin v1.85.
That would do the trick.
Just get the phone in download mode and flash it.

I would say to first get the phone unlocked and then you can flash another rom. There are some apps on playstore to unlock a phone i think.
Use supercurio's galaxy s3 unlock from market and use mskip's "galaxy s3 toolkit v.4" to get root,cwm,backup(to pc) and flash though Odin. Perfect noob toolbox for flashing.
remember to backup your EFS folder with K-TOOL(very important) , get it from market
I cant get the phone into download mode. The download mode is when you press and hold the vol down + power + home right? But nothing happened

Power off the phone. Then press vol down + home key and after 2 sec the power key. After that hold them for around 4,5 seconds.
I have used the tutorial for rooting my phone, it goes through the first stage on pda flashing an insecure rom, phone reboots and i have the yellow triangle, then the phone just locks on black screen, tried running the easy root software, it connects to the phone then stops.
I can enter recovery mode and tried a different kernal but still same problem, Thanks in advance for any help.

download, unzip the downloaded file until u get a tar.md5 file
got o recovery and wipe data/factory reset (and format system, preload, data and cache if on a custom recovery, check under mount and storage)
reboot to download mode, plug your phone
open odin, click pda, select the tar.md5 file, hit start and wait.
if the phone does boot after flashing, wait a minute, reboot to recovery, wipe data/factory reset and reboot (even if the device boots at first time, i advise u to do this wipe anyway)
back working again, couldnt get into the recovery mode, tried the up volume home and power, also searched and tried the up down power also, all i want to do is unlock my phone lol

Remove battery, and press vol up, home, and power. Release the power when samsung galaxy s2 appears but keep holding vol up and home

phone is working, but want it unlocking....cannot access recovery mode, tried Remove battery, and press vol up, home, and power. Release the power when samsung galaxy s2 appears but keep holding vol up and home.
phone it's working fine and you can't get into recovery mode?
Keep trying that combo, do it while the device is off, press it till you get there.
And why the hell do you want to get into recovery in order to unlock the phone?
Sent from the little guy
the guy above recommended i go to recovery and delete all data, so thats what i was trying to do, he also helped get my phone back working, is it possible to unlock without rooting ?
Yes, by getting the unlock code from your carrier.
I suggest you read a couple of threads before you attempt rooting it.
Sent from the little guy
i bought the phone on my carrier from ebay, i have now changed carrier but like the phone.
Root it is.
Did you get into recovery yet?
Sent from the little guy

[Q] Galaxy S4 stuck going into Odin mode "Downloading Do not turn off target"
Hey Everyone, I hope someone can help me out on this issue I have been having. I searched the forum and could not seem to find a solution to my specific problem. So here it is.... I have a Rooted S4, and I downloaded both ROM manager and TWRP, they both do the same thing. It seems as though how ever I try to get my phone to start in Recovery mode it always ends up going into the Odin download mode. I have tried every combo I can think of i.e. power button + vol down + home, pwr + vol. up + home, pwr + both vol. up & down + home, etc.... and NOTHING seems to want to boot my phone into recovery, it always goes to the "Downloading" "Odin Mode" screen. Any thoughts on how I can get it to boot to recovery? Oh I also tried booting to recovery via the buttons within TWRP and ROM manager and still didn't work
Thanks for the help!!!
I think I have figured out my issue (Sorry I am kind of new to this stuff). The version I am currently on is VRUAME7, and it looks like the latest "Root/ Recovery" out there is only the Root portion and not the recovery, thus why I can not get into recovery.... does this sound correct?

You are correct - ME7 will prohibit flashing any custom recoveries (so far......)
s3 doesn't reboot after the 4.3 upgrade on the unlocked phone
Hi All,
Today, i updated my new unlocked Samsung galaxy s3 gt-9300 from JellyBean 4.1.2. to Official JellyBean 4.3 using below mentioned file
I9300XWUGML4_I9300ODDGML4_I9300DDUGMK1_HOME.tar.md5
After successful upgrade using the odin 3.07, the phone didn't reboot automatically. Instead, keeps on blinking the initial screen "Samsung galaxy s3 GT9300"
Please suggest me some ideas on how to resolve this issue, thanks

Probably just need to do a factory reset. It's not uncommon to need to do that after an update, even when successful, because the Odin flash does not wipe data (unless otherwise noted).

Please let me know the steps to factory reset the phone, since the phone is not booting and i cant do literally anything(not even able to switch off the phone)
Pull the battery. Then pop it back in. Reboot by holding Vol Up + Home + Power and release when you see the blue letters at the top left about entering recovery. Volume buttons should navigate and I think Power selects or Home if it isn't Power. Haven't used the stock 3e recovery in awhile.

Seems to be bootlooping. please suggest the methods to resolve the boot loop issue
Hi
yesterday my tab s6 screen got unresponsible without anything else happened..
Then i found out that if i used the pen - the n i could turn it off from drop down menu.
I did that but then when i tried to turn it on it got stuck on that bootloop!
I can not access recovery mode - only download mode.
When i put it on charge it starts booting without showing battery percent and boots over and over until battery is drained.
In download mode i tried to flash Bootloader and firmware - but no luck ( odin proceduce succeded but the tab is still in the same bootloop )..
Still can't reach recovery menu..
Any ideas?
Recovery Mode is tricky to get to on this tablet - The timings of the button presses are difficult to nail. Assuming you weren't trying to flash anything to your tablet prior to it boot looping, I don't see any reason why you couldn't access Recovery Mode.
Reboot Tab by pressing and holding both Power (Bixby) button and volume down. Once screen turns off immediately press Power and Volume Up, let go once you see Samsung logo.

Have you done anything to your tablet prior to bootloop? Tried to flash anything, deleted anything?
Again, there's no reason you shouldn't be able to access Recovery this situation is exactly why it's there.

I opened NBA 2K Mobile and then i went away for like 20mins..
Then i opened the tab and screen was not reacting - only with pen.
I think the USB debugging is not enabled - is there any ways how to enable it without rooting?
Just tried to install a firmware through download mode - Odin shows "passed" and my tab is still in the same sh** ..:/
Hi,
Really need your help, after I updated my firmware using Odin, updated BL, AP, CP, CSC, my tab cannot boot up stuck in logo. Doing the Power + volume up leads me to different screen now.
Cannot access recovery mode also.
What must I do? Pleasssee help. Added the pic, after doing hard reset (power + vol up)
I cannot connect back to Odin also. Always setup connection failed.
Please help. Messed up big time :'(
Thank you in advance.

UAE..
"setup connection failed" is a USB error. Try a different cable, or a different port on the computer, or a totally different computer
