Tried to flash kernel but stuck at "NAND Write Start" - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I tried to flash Devils kernel but got stuck in Odin 3.04 at NAND Write Start.
its been that way for at least 15 minutes now. What do I do? Do I disconnect and try to flash another kernel or what? From posts I've read it looks like I've bricked my S3. What do you guys suggest?

can enter recovery mode? if yes, put the devl kernel.zip on the sd card and flash it from the recovery. by the way which rom are you using?

Looks like I was lucky this time. I pulled the cable and tried to restart the phone. It restarted without problems. Afterwards I entered recovery mode and flashed the kernel. Works without a problem now
I think it never really started updating. Anyway I'm happy

good! so you need to wait before posting a query hurrily cool
also put "solved" in the title.

Can i use the Gs3 toolkit to mount the partition?

No, you have a completely different problem from the thread you hijacked.

Dear God Please Help Me, GS2 Won't Work

I was flashing cwm recovery thru odin and my phone got stuck on boot screen. Now I CAN'T get into recovery, but I CAN get into odin mode. But when I try to flash a rom in odin, it fails and says, "Complete(Write) operation failed." Does anyone have an idea how to get my GS2 working?

I was trying to flash:

thru odin

or
Via Odin and download mode flash a stock rom is all i can suggest .

ya I'm screwed
try choosing a different file. question though, do you have a nandroid back up?
I did this on my SGS.
I removed the battery, put it back after a while and then I could access download mode. Flashed a stock ROM via Odin and it went fine.
Good luck!
I tried flashing a few different files thru odin. It's kinda weird, if I flash a kernel, it will work and go green and pass. But any rom I try will go red and fail and give that error.
I did have nandroid backup from a long time ago. But there is no way I can get to that cuz I cant boot into recovery.
Thank god!! Thanks for your help folks!! Got it working with another usb cable!!! That was scary
Well done! And welcome to the "flash-a-cwm-mod-in-Odin-club"...

[Q] Broken recovery, bad kernel, and id10t error

Last week I flashed LD3 for my Galaxy S2 i777. Today I was going to flash CM9. Every time I tried to boot into recovery it just started the phone.
I figured I could use mobile odin to flash a new kernel and it would fix it. Like an idiot I used a Gingerbread kernel on my phone running an ICS rom. So of course my phone froze on the "Galaxy S2" screen.
I couldn't boot into recovery and freaked out because I couldn't boot into dl either. I ordered a jig but kept fiddling in the meantime. I found that if I hook my phone to the USB, wait for the battery charging icon, take the battery out, then hold the down button it would boot into dl mode. Then I had to put the battery back in before I clicked continue or else it just reset.
Ok, so got into DL mode. I grabbed the stock rom and kernel from XDA site and flashed them with Odin. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1286432 (can't post links yet).
The phone starts and setup mode begins. It shows the android figure and says click it. Now all kinds of errors pop up telling me different google services weren't working and force close. When you click the android figure it goes to setup wizard screen but nothing happens (except more android service errors).
Can someone help me out here? I've been at it 5 hours and searched this forum high and low. My thought is there are some ICS elements left behind in there it is trying to load, but I could be way off.
I still can't boot into recovery mode, just DL.

Did you do a full wipe before flashing the stock rom and kernel?
I did not do a full wipe. How can I go about that without logging into recovery? I'm googling that now but if you have linkage I would appreciate it.

dont need to wipe when using Odin/Heimdall.
To OP:
there is only factory recovery, no CWM, you could always just flash a kernal from the DEV section, get CWM, flash CM9.
If I flash another kernel wouldn't I still have the same problem? I'll go ahead and give it a shot. Any you recommend for any reason or other?

So let me get the straight...you're on unrooted stock right now? If that's true, you should:
1. Do a factory reset from settings.
2. Use Odin to flash the Stock with Root package.
3. Use Mobile Odin to flash either Entropy's DD or Siyah.
4. Use CWM to flash what you want after that.

recovery is in kernal. If you flash a kernal from the DEV section you'll get CWM recovery, then you can flash your CM9 that you wanted, after a wipe data/factory reset.

Yes, but if he flashes said kernel with Odin, it'll trip his flash counter. I'm just telling him the safe way to do it, Mobile Odin.
I've already tripped my counter. I have a jig that will be here tomorrow so I can use it to reset the counter.
I can't use mobile odin because I can't log into my phone. I can only use desktop Odin.
All the files I am digging up look like .zip made for cwm. Could someone help guide me towards a kernel I can flash from desktop?

Either Entropy's DD or Siyah. You can open the zip and extract the zimage; the zimage is the kernel.
I just tried using Syiah:

I still get this message:
"The process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. please try again"

Flash the return to stock package from Odin again. Something must have gone wrong with it the first time.
well thats wierd. Sorry man but are you doing it right?
vol down and power. hold it untill the screen flashes twice.
I flashed stock 3 times now. I couldn't get into recovery before this (manually or with rom manager) and still can't. It starts like its going into recovery then just resets and loads normally.
Down is for dl mode, up is recovery.
I think the lack of ability to boot into recovery and the android service errors may be related.

Forget recovery. You shouldn't be worrying about recovery until after you get your phone booting.
New thought: maybe your download of the stock package is corrupted. Try to download it on your computer again. Download the one with root. If that fixes it, you can go use Mobile Odin to flash the Siyah kernel.
To get into recovery hold down both volume up, volume down, and power button and don't let go until recovery comes up.

I have been using the rooted. The fully stock won't dl. This started because I flashed a gb kernel instead of ics. Maybe I should try flashing an ics kernel instead of stock gb?

Don't panic,follow the steps:
1-Root e recovery with cf-root
2-download rom ( zip.packages) If you see any error messages or the procedure stops, then the packet of cooked rom may be corrupted.
Re-download and re-install from the beginning..
3-If the first boot takes more than 20-30 minutes, manually restart the phone by removing the battery or by pressing and holding for 10 seconds the power button.
If the problem persists, perform a hard reset .
4-If the phone restarts all the time, back in recovery mode and re-install, also performing the hard reset.
5-If your phone will not boot up, go into download mode and try to install a firmware via odin, performing a hard reset.
i tried installing a stock rom then flashing over that i have installed a ics one and jb one...didn't work...the problem is not with the booting itself but with the flashing like i said every rom flashes in like 5 seconds...it tells me it;s done and everything went fine but when i reboot i can't get past the samsung logo before the boot animation, so practically the rom doesn't flash...i dont know why...odin works great....but i can't flash through CWM. I wanted to try TWRP recovery also but i can't seem to find one for the international version of SGS3...Please help:crying:
Flash via recovery requires CF Root ,
ROOT
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1684535
Odin flash is much longer than 5 seconds and short flash is probably wrong file /faulty file .

i have flashed cf root after flashing stock roms both jb and ics and it didint work...i tried to flash like 7 different roms in ics both based on jellybean and ics...i wiped all everytime...

I really don't think the ROM caused your recovery to not work correctly. Have you tried a different recovery, likE https://play.google.com/store/apps/...DEsImNvbS5mcmFnZ2VsLnJlY292ZXJ5ZXhlY3V0ZXIiXQ..

There is some protection with some cwm that allow script only with ROM Manager
as you can see there is no error in the log, so i can't do nothing.

I tried rooting my friend's galaxy s2 (i9100) using odin but after it said PASS (on odin) the phone rebooted itself quitting download mode and then got stuck at the logo screen. Is there any way i can fix the phone? I used this file to root : GT-I9100_JB_ClockworkMod-Recovery_6.0.2.9.tar
I hope someone can help me with as soon as possible, thanks.

go to sammymobile.com and there you can your pda and stuff... I hope everything is gonna be alright
But why is the recovery mode not accessible?
If you were in the process of rooting only then how have you tried out different roms?
Does flashing a recovery itself cause a bootloop?
dude sometimes mine also not boots into recovery. U can flash siyah kernel 6b5 tar version through odin. that will most likely boot into recovery

[Q] S2 stuck on samsung logo

Hey guys, i was running the latest version of Slim Kat rom for my i9100 when it turned off and then was stuck on samsumg boot logo. When i try to access twrp it just says teamwin and wont go any further. It happened once before and so i just flashed a stock rom and then went back to rooting it. However, now when i try to flash any rom (stock/custom), or another recovery with odin it freezes at "nand write start". I have access to download mode which is really the only thing i have working atm
Ive read around and done everything (eg try other usb ports/cables/odin version) but no luck. Is there anything else i could do? I dont wanna do a pit flash cause im scared ill completely screw it up.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks
