first, sorry if my english is bad..
yesterday, i rooted my samsung galaxy SIII GT-I9300 (first time root for this device), then flashed custom ROM (Android Revolution HD 27) and custom kernel (perseus) for i9300. I also use Android Revolution HD for my note 2 N7100 and works fine. then today, I tried to use swapper apk (the apk named swapper 2, it's available in playstore). oh and I already partitioned my external memcard using minipartition tool (sandisk 16gb class 10: 14gb+ FAT32 set as primary and 350mb LinuxSwap set as primary). after that, i configured swapper 2 as in this guide

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
but at the last screen, at the fifth line "enabling swap (partition) OK" I got FAIL instead of OK.
so I left the device (at the home screen), and was searching for another MOD for SIII. then, I got to see on the screen is samsung logo GT-I9300 (the device reboot itself) and getting reboot, get to the logo, reboot again, and again..
so... I was search for the solution in this forum, which made me try this following method:
1) get into download mode, flash stock rom Android 4.1.2 I9300XXEMC3 for Galaxy S3 I9300 (got from here) ------ flashing with odin (tick only Auto-Reboot and F.Reset Time)
Result: still get the bootloop
2) use method 1, and going to recovery mode, wipe factory and wipe cache, reboot
Result: still get the bootloop
3) try method 1 and 2, but when flashing using odin (tick Auto-Reboot, F-Reset Time, and Nand Erase All)
Result: still get the bootloop
4) get into download mode, directly flash Philz touch recovery, reboot into recovery, wipe factory, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, run zoot's wipe script (tried this method twice, one with Mega Wipe, and second with Factory Wipe), then directly flash Android Revolution ROM zip
Result: still get the bootloop
Is this condition named softbrick or hardbrick? in addition, I read in Q&A forum someone said if in download mode the phone model doesn't show up, that means the motherboard got damaged. but I checked at my device, and all the information including phone model is correct and the same condition with before this problem happened.
So.. here I kind of give up already.. is there any working solution into this? thanks for reading and willing to help me if you know the solution
d Nand Erase All
Wiped the Nand needs a service centre repair .

I tick the Nand erase all because following this link. it said that after that I can start the flash proccess.. I already tried that 3 files too (VRALEC bootchain, VRALF bootchain and root66.tar), but I only got PASS in odin for VRALEC bootchain only, the second bootchain file seems like hang and not finish.
do you happen to get the same trouble too, mr? is it hardware issue? thx

but after nand erase I still can enter both recovery mode and download mode sir.. is it still count as a state of no use?
yes sir, I just realised that link isn't for I9300 when I made this thread.. I kind of panic some hours ago.. *sigh*
right now, I'm trying to connect the phone (download mode) to pc, using kies, and choose tools -> firmware upgrade and initialization (the one that using firmware emergency recovery for galaxy SIII GT-I9300).

Wont work memory card is erased including partitions and layout .

try remove your memory card.
after a nand erase, you need a motherboard replacement
@JJEgan
even if using PIT file along with stock ROM?
@nurfirdaus
already tried that, but still wont work.. in my #1 post, all methods that using odin to flashing the firmware, I've ejected the memory card and sim card.. I've reformat the memcard too to the full FAT32
@Glebun
sorry, are you sure sir? because I did that by following some thread in xda forum, that said using with 'tick nand erase all' and after that flashing bootchain files + stock rom and pit file will fix the problems..
Internal ram memory nand is setup at the factory . Partitions for system data etc .
You have wiped it all .
Once again the link you refer to is not for this phone . I suggest you ask in that forum / thread any questions about that method .
Or search for NAND posts in this forum if you want to read more .
A few users have done the same .

I've search for nand posts inside and outside of xda.. it seems like the solution is only jtag repair, which is I already sent the device to some repair centre yesterday.. they said about using some kind of test points, that is jtag repair, maybe? I hope my i9300 can be boot again >.<
anyway thanks for replying to this thread.. I'll post about the result when it's done

Okay okay.. hello. I'm a new girl at XDA and thus new to all this rooting stuff.
First and foremost, I'm on Android 2.3.6. I used the XWLA4 insecure kernel to flash my SGS2 (since my official Samsung kernel is indeed XWLA4) and used S2Root to install BusyBox and superuser, but I had no CWM recovery so I manually installed CWM 4.0.0.2 via Odin.
It worked like a charm Now came the time to flash a custom firmware. I was thinking of MIUI, CM7 (because I didn't like stock ICS that much) and this new Fatal1ty Extreme ROM. In fact, I liked said ROM so much that I wanted to have it on my phone + the Red theme. And that's where the annoyance began..
I've carefully read all the instructions, but I didn't understand one:
"Copy the ROM to the Root dir of your SD card."
I thought it was just some directory in my USB storage, so I connected my device to my computer and connected the USB storage, yet I didn't find any folder named "Root" or anything that resembled a root directory.
After 1 hour of googling and extensive research, I was so annoyed that I just dragged the ROM + Theme to my USB storage.
I boot into CWM recovery, did a wipe (data/factory reset, dalvik cache wipe etc.) and then installed the ROM. When I rebooted, THIS happened:
I was stuck at the first screen, the one that said "Samsung Galaxy SII" on it with the yellow triangle!
And this screen did not go away until I boot my phone into download mode and flashed the official XWLA4 kernel from Samsung, aka unroot my phone.
After Unroot, my phone worked like normal. No bootloops, no being stuck on the first screen etc.
Can someone please shed light on this? Touchwiz isn't exactly my cup of tea anymore and I really would like to give my phone a custom look ._.
Thanks in advance
EDIT: It seems that this problem seems big, as every ROM that I flash (with wipes) takes <5 seconds to finish, and that usually means that it's a bad flash ._.
Can someone tell me how to solve this?
I've carefully read all the instructions, but I didn't understand one:
"Copy the ROM to the Root dir of your SD card
Root = copy the rom to the sd card not inside any folder .
DO NOT put anything in usb storage it is not the instructions for anything SD CARD only internal not the external one .
Connect phone to pc in usb mass storage mode copy the rom to the phones internal sd card only .
follow with CWM and root phone via Odin
Root + CWM .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
Then boot to recovery and install the rom .
That is an excellent choice of rom by the way .

Well, I didn't put it in any folder and certainly not in the folder that says "usbStorage" on it. Please excuse me for my aloofness in this matter as I still don't quite understand how to access my internal SD card.
I have USB-debugging enabled and when I connect to my storage, I have something like this:

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

Doesn't work Tried that, but still doesn't go past the first screen..
EDIT: Maybe I should just flash it and then wait for it to boot.. I read similar situations where people flashed ROMs and they too were stuck on a boot screen, but in reality it really took so long due to the caches being rebuilt ._.
I'll try that. If anyone has suggestions, post in here

I want to flash Fatal1ty Extreme with the Fatal1ty Red Theme package ._.
I'm on the stock XXKI4 firmware with the XWLA4 kernel ._.
When I root my phone with CF-Root-SGS2_XW_OXA_LA4-v5.0-CWM5 kernel from Chainfire, the root is fine but when I flash Fatal1ty via CWM, it says "installation complete" but I can't get past the first screen ._.
When I root my device with the XWLA4 insecure kernel and then root it with S2Root, still nothing.
I even tried flashing Redpill 1.3 (auto-root) and then flash Fatal1ty, still nothing..
I'm always stuck at the first screen ._.

Will do, but what exactly would renaming it accomplish? ._.
Looking at the pic you posted you've downloaded the rom and theme twice (?). It will prevent a sucessful flash. Experience.

Well every time I tried flasing a file like that ( e.g : update-cm-9-20120331-CODEWORKX-galaxys2-signed(2).zip) it will not work.
I tried two different ROMs: The Thebyani ICS one and the VK ICS one.. both have the same problem as Fatal1ty: They're stuck on the boot screen.
EDIT: It seems that this problem seems big, as every ROM that I flash (with wipes) takes <5 seconds to finish, and that usually means that it's a bad flash ._.
Can someone tell me how to solve this?
Okay, here's a sum-up of the problem thus far:
1. Root is fine with any kernel, device functions without any problems.
2. When I want to flash a custom ROM via CWM, it takes <5 seconds to finish and is stuck at the boot logo.
3. Unrooting solves this.
Something must be faulty with the device... Flashing kernels and back to stock is without any complications, yet when I wanna flash a custom ROM, it's stuck at the boot logo ._.
I screwed up my S2 when testing different ROM:s
Now it is dead ... can't power it on - only download mode works.
I tried to install the original Samsung ROM ... but it didn't work.
Is there a way to kick it alive ?

Wipe it and then install rom from odin and after install wipe again
Thanks ... now the sun is starting to shine again.
Just some questions.
1) How do I wipe it out ... there is no option in Odin
2) Which ROM should I take:
CF-Root-SGS2_XW_NEE_LPG-v5.5-CWM5.tar
Kernel_I9100XWLPG.tar.md5
My S2 was I9100XWLPG befor it died.
It never died!
Learn how to use Odin
Get stock rom from www.sammobile.com
Or use checkfus down loader.

this is not a rom its a kernel thats why you cant boot up after flashing
Thanks guys ... here is what I did:
1) Booted S2 into recovery mode.
2) Chose wipe data / factory reset
3) Auto rebooted
4) Booted into download mode
5) started Odin 1.85 (tried also 3.04, same result)
6) for PDA I took CF-Root-SGS2_XW_NEE_LPG-v5.5-CWM5.tar which worked fine before I messed up
7) Odin went OK telling me kernel loaded & passed
8) now when I power on I only get Samsung logo and it powers off
So where did I go wrong ?
Should I use Heimdall instead of Odin ?
If i am not wrong you are flashing kernel not the whole rom.Remember till the time download mode is accessible your s2 is alive.Dont panic and mess up more.Just download a stock rom from sammobile and flash using odin.

If you were able to get into recovery just flash a rom. You don't have to go as far as a stock Rom if you don't want to. In download mode flash a recovery with Odin and then boot up into the recovery and flash the rom you want. That's it

Good to hear that the proper solution to your problem is being done. I had mine in an boot loop, while testing various roms. It wouldn't go pass the boot animation, just kept loading it over and over again. Then I did an "wipe data" and reinstalled rom and voila, my problem was solved as well
Yup all is not lost until download mode is lost.
Once got scared on kernel panic mode but reflashed and BAM

Hello Gentlemen,
Last time I managed to root my device Samsun galaxy S III (GT-I9300) via CF-Root 6.4 and it was successfully rooted,
This was the last time it has been rooted, afterwards, I upgraded and flashed a Jelly Bean 4.1.1 via Odin and found out that Root has GONE !!!
That's okay, but the most amazing problem is, the device does never get rooted no matter how many times I try to root it via the same method mentioned above (CF-Root 6.4),
I though afterwards that this is because CF-Root needs to be updated or something, so I reverted back to ICS 4.0.4 by flashing a stock md5 ROM over.
I tried the CF-Root 6.4 and found out it does not work anymore, please help me gentlemen as I spent the last night trial & error, never succeeded.
I am doing all of this just because I want to flash the HD 14 Android Revolution ROM made by Mike here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1797334
I hope there was an md5 or tar file (Odin flashable) so that it could be much easier to flash for people who are stuck with this situation.

Can you see the su app? If not try installing it
similar problem
Hi, Im having a similar problem, I was rooted, upgraded to 4.1.1 through kies and it was rooted no more. I rooted it again and no problem. I tried a custom rom and it had an issue with wifi so I went back to stock. Now Ive loaded the stock back on and after wiping/factory reset and clear cache it still says Im running a custom binary, system status is custom also, so trying to root it again so I can reset the flash counter and load my backup but it keeps getting stuck on set up connection on odin and eventually fails.
Ive been at this all afternooon with out much luck, can anyone provide me with some guidance on this?

Also I noticed that upgrading to Jelly Bean changes the SDCard name to Sdcard0
After flashing CF-Root with Odin, your phone should restart in custom recovery to install SuperSU and CWM app
If it's not, try that:
-Flash CF-Root with "auto-reboot" disabled in Odin
-once flash is done, unplug your phone from the computer
-restart in recovery with VolUp+Power+Home
It should trigger the apps installation process

I can enter on recovery mode but I think that I have a problem here, because in the recovery says that:
And when I try to do anything in the recovery the smartphone restarts automatically and don´t do anything, and when I can install another custom ROM from ext-SDcard all goes good, but when I restart it stuck on initial logo again.
I flash with Odin
(Odin3 v1.85 y Odin3 v3.04)
2 officials firmwares from "samfirmware.com"
and also the: CF-Auto-Root-m0-m0xx-gti9300.tar
and the CF-SGS3-CWM-v5.5-v1.5
and the CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4
and none of it worked, all give me the same error.
The kies doesn´t detects it....
(I close all the kies process when I use odin....)
Any suggestion?
Obviously it lost the warranty because the flash counter says 2 and I can not delete it because it does not start :S
Other info:
Last ROM: Foxhound 2.4
Kernel: Siyah
Recovery: Siyah

go get a jig or search here how to make one by yourself. it will reset the counter from 2 to 0. after that just go to service center and give your device.
hit thanks if I helped.

Download the pills recovery file from pills thread pace it on ur extsd card and then install via he recovery u r booting into
Then finally once pills recovery installation finishes go to Phills recovery and change ur kernel
please use a normal font.
usb jig has no effect on the counter on this phone
SDS
Sorry to say it buddy but your phone has died from SDS
The only way to fix it is to replace the motherboard..

That sure is not sds, sds means no reaction at all, just black screen...
Did you try flashing philz recovery, then going into mounts and storage and formatting all partitions, after that flash a stock rom with odin

Exactly so.....you can have no screen or anything at all, or you can have no recovery but d/l mode still shows (worst case scenario)
Try flashing pit files with repartition ticked,to reformat partitions and then flash a Sammy stock rom(not deodexed or with root).worked on gs2 and should work on gs3 too..

Hi i was hoping someone could help me fix my SM-G925F device. I will give you abit of information of how im in the situation going back to about a year ago i got a firmware update on my samsung galaxy s6 edge so i started downloading it and my device rebooted and said it was installing the update but halfway through it must of corrupted or failed but my device still booted up and when i went into my settings it said i was on android version 7.0 so thought nothing of it but did start having a few minor issues now and then but anyway on sunday i was playing a game on my phone and it randomly just froze so i waited 2 mins and then it seemed to be working again but then 5 mins later it did it again and i waited around 10 mins and it was still frozen so i had a look on google and it showed me a button combination you can do to restart your device if it does freeze but after it tried rebooting it would just sit on the s6 edge logo screen so i tired looking online again and it told me to go into recovery mode which i did and it showed a little error at the bottom left corner saying "dm-verity error" but i still tried clearing my cache partition but when i rebooted the phone it was still stuck on the s6 edge logo. I decided to reflash my device with a stock rom from sammobile but it failed at system.img and when i try booting my phone i get a error saying "An error has occured while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart PC software" so i tried flashing a custom recovery named "TWRP" but that also failed so now when i go into dowload mode by holding down the down volume + home + power buttons and press volume up to enter dowload mode in the top left corner it says:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SM-G925F
CURRENT BINARY: CUSTOM
SYSTEM STATUS: Official
REACTIVATION LOCK: OFF
Secure Dowload: Enabled
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 1 (0x0200)
AP SWREV: B:6 K:2 S:2
I have tried different stock roms that match my device model but now odin fails on boot.img or just stays on initialization
An easy way is to just flash TWRP and flash a custom ROM they have may that are stock flavours with improvements. also, check for a dm-verity flash file for TWRP
It wont let me flash anything using odin anymore to flash a custom recovery. Odin recognizes my device but wont flash anything like the progress bar under dowloading... doesnt even show up anymore. The only thing i can think of is taking it to a samsung engineer facility but i bet they charge loads

Well, your only option now is let it boot loop and run out of power give it a little charge and see if it will flash TWRP for your device, small chance your internal flash drive is fried or the critical portion of the flash drive is corrupted.

Thanks for the reply and i think the partitions are corrupt because before i tried installing twrp and went into the stock recovery i got a few errors such as failed to mount /efs and failed to mount /cache

In TWRP never reboot straight away you need to install some files.
Download Odin: https://odindownload.com/
Download TWRP, make sure to select the correct Samsung device: https://twrp.me/Devices/Samsung/
Download Magisk, https://******************/#How_to_Install_Magisk_Latest_Version_201_on_Android_Non-Rooted_Phones
Download RMM-State-Bypass, https://drive.google.com/file/d/1UvqcYUbVTFomAmKCVkMyfTWeuz1sEz8n/view
Download Disable_Dm_Verity_ForceEncrypt, https://zackptg5.com/android.php#disverfe
Download a custom ROM(H-ROM & Lineage work with TWRP)) but make sure it is for your specific Samsung Galaxy device, https://forum.xda-developers.com/

Yeah it connects fine and i have tried different ports and usb cables but then just stays on the instilization step
It stopped letting me flash anything since i tried flashing twrp and it failed and it says i have a custom binary

Well, there is hope since custom binary is not a big problem. K check out the options menu tick F.Reset Time and Re-partition and UNTICK Auto Reboot
Load TWRP but make sure it is the TWRP version for your S6.
Click start should do something like this. Should take about a minute. if that does not work drain the battery and do the named steps again if that fails I can not think of another way.

Yeh it wipes the flash drive of the current OS, then head into TWRP mode and flash a custom ROM from the S6 XDA sub, plenty of excellent ROM's make sure it can be flashed through TWRP those are easy.

NP if that fails you can still do the wipe and then if you used your google account there should be a backup of your data stored. should be here: https://drive.google.com/drive/backups

Stuck on init last time I had that I drained my phone, then put it back into download mode while it being connected to one of my PC's. Charging part is just the phone not registering it software-wise.
