I was recently changing custom roms on my i9300 and think i formatted the wrong option. Now when I turn on my phone it gets as far as the start up screen, then goes off and just continues to repeat. I have trawled the web and tried a couple PIT and PDA's but no joy as of yet. I can boot it into download mode. Any help would be highly appreciated! Thank you.

Ahh of course haha. Well the PIT has passed but when i put the PDA on, depending on if i do straight after i have run the PIT, which it stays on "Setup connection..." or if I run the PDA on its own i get "NAND write start!"
Flash a stock rom for your galaxy s3 via Odin it's only recover your phone then you will root again

ok downloading as we speak....
the PDA i downloaded did not come with a PIT in the zip. So i have just used to PDA on its own, and when i opened it come up in the comments "Leave CS...". The start option became available so i hit it and got "NAND write start..."
I then used a PIT i used previously and tried again, then got this...

Hey untick repartition then flash
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Did it help when flashed without re-partition checked?
Why do you need a PIT file? Where did you get it?
Repartitioning could be extremely dangerous.
try odin version 3.04 without the PIT file, if you get NAND write start just wait about 5-6 mins, if it stays where it is come here again.
IF you can, try rooting it with CF AUto root then flash a recovery. THen put a ROM on your external SD card and flash it via recovery and see if it boots.
Very sorry for the delay in reply. Its been bloody hectic!
I tried both of those suggestions Mr Mirage.
The first one i got the NAND write start, and the same on the second. It also got stuck on NAND write start
if you flashed a pit file, send it to service to replace the motherboard

Hello guys,
I wanted to change my rom of my phone and so made a backup of everything and also saw that the internal partition was messed by custom rom.
I saw folders like: "0/" and 2 more.
My idea was to repartition with pit file, but I was messing with NAND Erase All, and now I stuck with flashing in Odin.
When I want to repartition it doesn't go further then: NAND Write Start!!
I did try to:
- Terminate the Samsung Kies Process
- Try Different USB ports
- Try Different versions of Odin
Screenshot:

The 0 folder was probably from an install of 4.2.2, and you could (and should) have just deleted it manually, if you wanted to get rid of it. Using a pit file with the SIII is generally NOT recommended, and now you know why.
In the FAQ, you might be able to find a way to recover it, if you can boot at all, but if you are had bricked, which it sounds like you are from the description you gave, you will need JTAG or Samsung repair.
Using nand erase all is probably what killed your phone.

That's what I was suspecting, I tend to use these in trouble, and it seems that using a .pit might only work with these, just an ongoing observation that I may be wrong about, but I certainly would try if I ever needed to use a .pit

Yep, although I'd have to be fairly desperate before I ticked that repartition box!
So many people seem to panic, follow the first advise they find and make it worse in the process. This one was very lucky.
My phone did work without any problems and after flashing a couple of new custom roms, the phone shutdown random and sometimes it reboots random.
I did swap the battery with an other one, but this didn't solve the issue.
I'm now downloading the Rescue Firmware and I will try this and hoping that this will solve my phone's issue.
I am also going to buy the Samsung Galaxy S4 monday, so I want to solve this problem with my phone so I can have it as second smartphone.
The problem was the eMMC chip The samsung galsxy s3 have the issue that the eMMC chip(storage chip) can go insane so you need a repair by Samsung. You can test this with an app called eMMC test tool or something for S3

Hi Everybody,
I was trying to install a new version of cyanogenmod that held kitkat, worked, but heres the problem. After installing the new rom i wanted to put a different kernel. This specific kernel I wanted was not compatible with kitkat, but i wasn't reading, so when it was booting up it was stuck at the Galaxy S Cyanogenmod booting screen. I turned it off and put the device in cwm recovery. I was going to put the right kernel for the device but the SD wound't mount. I looked for a solution, which led me to odin. When I started flashing the status was frozen at nand start write. So I stupidly unplugged it, so now I am greeted with a Phone+!+PC please help me!

Without seeing a picture of the screen, I'm going to have to assume the screen is a blue color with a picture of a computer on it.
If so, that's not a problem at all. That screen is basically the same thing as ODIN/Download mode.
With your device on that screen simply replug in your USB cable and reflash with ODIN.
If you could provide a picture of the screen, I could definitely say for sure that your device is good to go, or not.

If you're talking about this above, then do as Higgs_Boson said above. This is just a force download mode, and happens when you improperly flash something.
