Dear users,
I have a problem with my Samsung Galaxy S3 (GT-I9300 T-Mobile version).
I know I have to post this in the developers part, but somehow I can't post there (I have no permission?).
I followed this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2046439 and I'm stuck on the custom recovery part.
When I flashed it sucessfully, I disconnected my usb, pulled out my battery (as I should). Then, I tried getting into recovery mode (volume up, power + home button at the same time).
I get a samsung logo with GALAXY SIII (and GT-9300), with a little red dot on the upper-left corner. When I keep holding the buttons, the screen goes black and the logo re-appears. When i realease everything it'll freeze on this screen, and when I hold the power button it will just reboot (to my phone, nothing goes wrong then).
I should see some blue text at the top of my screen, and then a custom clockwork should appear. But no, I don't.
Can anyone help me? I can't get into recovery mode now.
Thanks!
can you get to download mode volume down+power+homebutton
if yes then flash a stock Rom and it should be fine
also this is the right place to post

Yes, I can get into download mode.
The problem is that I want to root my device, and the guide tells me that I need clockworkmod custom recovery.

ok good flash a stock Rom first then use CF auto root instead of the guide you used and follow instructions carefully

What do you mean CF auto root?
And where can I find such a stock rom? Sorry I'm a noob at rooting and flashing. Will this erase my data? Because I just performed a new install.
If your phone still boots normally into Android, you don't need to flash another rom.
Search for the CF Auto Root thread on XDA and follow the instructions to flash that...

I did it, i used the auto root, but I don't have superSU anymore. I can now get into the recovery again (stock) and used triangle away.
How can I get SuperSU?

It might say I9300 but the link you post says .
I followed this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2046439
IS NOT REPEAT NOT for this phone it says Verizon Galaxy S III Android Development
How far in bricking your phone by following those instructions have you gone ??
Do you try flashing a stock rom via Odin or just pay for a new motherboard .
You either do not have an I9300 and have possibly bricked your phone or you are in the wrong forum if you have Verizon Galaxy S III .

I didn't brick my phone (yet), I just couldn't get into the recovery, but I reflashed the stock recovery, I can now get back into it thanks to someone who gave me a link to an auto-root feature.
I have root access, superSU and stock recovery, everything works fine. Flash counter reset to 0.
Thanks guys!
P.S for the one who asked: I have a GT-I9300 T-mobile (Holland, The Netherlands). Where can I get the clockworkmod/TWRP anyway (if i want a custom recovery?)

And when i got this clockworkmod custom recovery, can I change boot animations and stuff?

Follow the links. You can see at the post if they're in the right device forum or not.
Or just take yourself directly to the international i9300 development forums and find them there.

Could anyone tell me how to install CWM recovery on the GT-I9100G ???
I've rooted it and it has Superuser but it doesn't have CWM... (It has the Download mode)
How can I install it ?? Please...
Go to the development section and find a kernel meant for I9100G which includes CWM recovery, then flash it.
From a quick look, [KERNEL][2.3.5][03-01-2012]superatmos v2.0 ONLY for *I9100G* and [KERNEL][I9100G][2.3.5]MyGKernel - CWM5, Root, CIFS.
How can I flash it If I don't have CWM recovery ??
Not so hot at reading eh?

No.. Actually didn't know how to use Odin !! But now I do...
find your build number and find the corresponding cf root kernel
and download Odin
and your phone on download mod and connect itto the computer
and flash the kernel via pda.
and it will have the cwm

So to access CWM recovery i have to press (Volume Down + Home + Power) or what ??

Maybe someone with more patience and tolerance will jump in and give you the answer, or maybe you'll figure it out yourself. Which will it be? I guess time will tell.

No because I did this and It sent me to download mode again !!
But I installed ROM Manager and it sent to the Recovery...
Rom manager may or may not work properly on the SGS2, mostly not.
To get into recovery, its home+vol UP + power.
My Device is stuck on the bootscreen with the yellow triangle after Flashing this using CWM

Oh man, why after all that did you decide to flash a ROM meant for the I9100 on your I9100G? You're lucky you didn't do more harm, since it even includes a kernel (Siyah) which is also only for the I9100. Anyway, my patience ran out about 6 posts back.

Ah, that's too bad man.. I'm guessing you most probably can't access CWM, if you did in fact install that.
It was meant ONLY for the I9100, not the I9100G. Your best bet is going to download mode and installing an official Samsung ROM via Odin. I suppose.
Then doing the usual yabba-yabba to get your phone rooted again. This time make sure not to install stuff not meant for your phone..

Take out the battery. Before putting it back in, hold down the Volume Down and Home buttons. Then press the power button. Let go of the power button, but keep the others held down. You should now be in Download mode.
In Download mode... Can I flash Lite'ning ROM ?? Does it Support I9100G ??

Right now I'd just concentrate on getting the phone back in working condition... install an official Samsung ROM to start with, then start tinkering with custom stuff. And be sure to read everything very, very carefully.
Is there any Custom ROM with root that I can flash directly without going back to the stock ROM ???
My friend has an S2 he wants me to root, and I'm having trouble.
I've tried the one click method from windows computers though they don't seem to work as he is on ICS.
The ICS alternative says reboot to recovery etc, though obviously he doesn't have recovery so I can't do that either.
Of course I'm going to be told to root it via flashing, though while following the guide, the phone soft-bricked and wouldn't turn on (yellow triangle) though luckily I found the Orange UK Restore Package and now it's back to stock!
When I tried to flash it said use the most similar kernel you can find, and so I did, and it didn't work!
The kernel he has is I9100PBVLP6 and there was not an insecure kernel of that available.
Can anyone help?

Your friend has the UK Orange NFC phone. Use LP7 Insecure kernel.
http://download.chainfire.eu/158/CF-Root/SGS2/CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEN_LP7-v5.4-CWM5.zip?retrieve_file=1
You will have the yellow triangle after flashing and your binary flash counter would have increased by 1.
You can use triangle away to remove the symbol and reset the flash counter to zero.
Or have a look at the Root/Unroot guide in my signature.

That's brilliant! Thanks so much. I'll have to convince him to let me now. He doesn't want me going near his phone again haha
If your friend now doesn't want you to go to near his phone, let him root it himself or live with it the way it is.
Statements like "he obviously doesn't have recovery" when he obviously does lead me to believe you'll only damage his phone anyway.

Why does he obviously have recovery? His phone is exactly how he got it. Unless they give you recovery now? I used to have a Spica (piece of crap) which I had to root in order to get recovery onto it. And he has no idea how to root and his phone is being slow and crashes a lot, so he wants to make it better, I told him a custom ROM would help.

All new or old S2s should have recovery albeit stock 3e recovery," if they have not installed another recovery ". Try it!

Head over to here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&t=1&o=1&m=GT-I9100&r=1#regiona, & find the specific firmware for your friends device & flash in PDA via Odin! (no need to find a seperate kernel to flash, as it will be included in the official firmware package!)
At this point you'll have no yellow triangle on your boot up splash screen, & no flash count!
Then head over to here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1501719 & root the device using the instructions given! (you'll need an external sd-card in your device to put the files on for rooting!)
Still no yellow triangle on boot splash screen, & also no extra flash count!
Finally, install Triangle Away from here "IF NEEDED": https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.triangleaway&hl=en, & "MAKE SURE" it gives the exact same flash count number as is in download mode, then click "Reset Counter".
Job done, official stock firmware with root (fast, stable & reliable!) with no yellow triangle or flash count visible!
What Samsung official firmware site? Even if such a thing existed why would the custom binary counter go up? Think about it. Also, OP already made it clear he's incapable of following those root instructions, as he apparently (and obviously) doesn't have recovery.

2: As I mentioned in my (helpfull!) post, the method I directed him to uses temporary "Touch CWM Recovery" for him to get into to root!
3: The method he tried was the oneclick method! That's not the method I directed him to! (try reading the post properly before commenting, as you've so graciously pointed out to me in the past!)

So my S3 went into a boot loop. And I dont know how I got to this point but now the phone wont even boot, when plugged in to my comp it shows the battery symbol but its greyed out with the circle in the middle, and it stays like that. If i hold the power putton it comes up with the Galaxy SIII GT i9300 screen but then goes back to the battery. I can get it to go into download mode though. I think somehow I may have deleted all the files required for the phone to actually boot(Im a n00b so im not completely sure) Can somebody please help me?
I was on custom ROM before and my binary counter is at 4, so sending into samsung doesn't sound like a great idea :/
Thanks for the help and sorry if this has been asked before, I have searched for hours.

If you also can go into recovery, try to wipe. In addition did you flash any custom kernel?
If not, try to reflash a rom with odin after you got into download mode or did you try this already?

If you mean with CWM mod, no I cant, it just shows the Galaxy S3 GT i9300 screen then goes black. Yes i did have a custom kernel, I believe it was the latest Perseus one. I already tried this with a stock rom and it idnt work, it said it had passed but i still can boot the phone.

as you can go into download mode but not recovery, what about flashing CWM another time (if you did not try it already). Maybe it solves the issue with recovery and from there you could go on trying to wipe etc.
Other options would be to do a mega or super wipe (if this is possible from odin & download mode, not sure though), to get your phone completely empty (mega) or at least to factory reset (super).

I successfully flashed CF root with CWM, now shall I do a wipe and then restore back to a nandroid backup I made? and if so how will I? The phone now shows the samsung logo when turned on but just stays there forever.

Furthermore i suggest anyone having motherboard dead problems and vendor Samsung saying no warranty .
To pull up the many posts regarding this now known manufacturing defect and don't accept in this case root/ custom rom warranty is rejected .

The thing is there is nothing wrong with my phone in terms of hardware. The problem that I am having is purely software, I think I just need to restore my phone to a previous version. I did see that thread but didnt feel my post belonged there as my problem is nothing to do with broken battery or mobo or anything along those lines. Hence why I am posting here
Just factory reset via recovery then flash a stock rom via Odin .
No recovery flash CF root via Odin .

I did install a stock ROM and it was still stuck on bootloop, left it like that for an hour, still nothing. So I went into CWM (after flashing it) Wiped and factory reset (noticing it said error mounting /data but ignored) and then restored with a backup I had. it did say error mounting /data and so skipped that step. Still stuck in boot loop. now that I try wiping again the same error occurs, error mounting /data any ideas please?
I did have this problem a few days back. The only thing i did was downloaded my Carrier stock firmwaer and extracted boot.img and used Samsung galaxy toolkit and make a filé that i was able to use with Odin. Dunno if ot helps you but my Phone is still going strong
I was only trying to root my Phone tho. No custom rom installera when i got The boot problem
Sounds like you have permission problem. I can't find the three about that but I update my post here if I can find it.
you can try to fix permission in cwm it seems, hope it works

When you try to flash what's the error before installation aborted?

If you made the backup with CWM before then it won't work with TWRP recovery. You can only restore a TWRP backups with TWRP Recovery. And vise versa, you can't restore a TWRP backup with CWM Recovery.
You are in the wrong forum!

YOU ARE IN THE WRONG FORUM - this forum is for GT-i9300! Also the GS3 toolkit is currently at v7 - you should ask in the thread for that program in the forum for sch-r530m!

I think I understand what your saying. The toolkit may have worked for your phone but flashing i9300 ROMs onto your device could mess up your phone. If you have a working TWRP Recovery, my suggestion would be to flash a ROM/zip file made for your device and first see if it works. And of coarse try and make a backup to see if nandroid backup is working correctly

Ouch!!
I hope it wasn't the i9300 ROM that bricked it.. You had plenty of warning
Anyway.. Hope you get it sorted. You may need JTAG repair if it is truly bricked. MobileTechVideos provides this service with a quick turnaround. Good luck!

Its not fully bricked, it still turn on and have access too CWM and Download mode, the problem is that it dont pass the Liquid Smooth logo when starting
Do you have CWM recovery ??? Or TRWP .
If so mounts and storage format system cache data and sd card .
Boot to download mode flash a stock rom for your phone via Odin .
But as you are in the Wrong ||Forum the firmware / advice from here may brick your not an I9300 phone .

I tried rooting my S3 using the guidelines from this forum.. (Option 2: Only root)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1955423
Here is d procedure...
Download this CF Auto Root from here http://download.chainfire.eu/264/CF-...3g-gtn7100.zip
and extract it to .tar
Procedure :
1.Open Odin and select PDA tab
2.Point to extracted file CF-Auto-Root-SGN2.tar
3.Now switch off device and reboot in download mode
press Vol down + Home +Power, And then, press Volume UP button in Warning Page to enter the Download Mode
4.Connect device to PC and wait till device successfully added to com port (it will turn light blue)
5.Hit ‘Start’ to flash
6.Once it flashed successfully, you can see 'PASS' in table above the ID :COM, you can disconnect device from PC
7.Reboot device and you will have superSU in application drawer.
Everything worked well..till the last step..
After rebooting,touch panel doesnt work..and Welcome screen shows language selection. First welcome screen used to come in portuguese then later after flashing for 4-5 times,it came in english.But the touch doesnt work.I tried factory restore..but it doesnt work..Phones memory is showing up when connected to computer..Somebody Help me bring my Phone back to life! Thank yu!
Looks like you flashed a file for a galaxy note 2 and not an s3.
You need to be careful and flash the right files to your phone or you could end up with a hard brick.
Have a look at the stickies on how to root.
Oh and make sure you have an international galaxy s3 9300 as that is this forum your in.

you flashed the wrong file (Note II), the process is correct but you need to flash the cf root/auto-root file for the S3 as mentioned! Try it again with it and see if it fixes your issue.
You Might wanna flash a stock firmware in odin first before you try rooting.

Tried CFA autoroot..It flashed well but after rebooting touch panel doesnt work..I cant click on language selection or next or any button..Its jst the same as first
Flash stock rom then factory reset .
Then read the basic faqs and guides before flashing anything or ignore and head straight down the highway to Bricksville .

So there is nothing I can do to make my phone's touch panel work??
One more thing is..when I open the phone in recovery mode(vol up+menu+power buttons) the android logo in the background is showing some X mark smething..So i guess its soft bricked rather than hard-bricked..so is there no way it can work?

One take to a service centre is best as you have a big problem and zero knowledge .
OR
You could try flashing CF Root recovery from development then booting to recovery format cache system data sd card and preload .
Then download mode and flash stock rom via Odin .

If you phone connects to your PC then try completely resetting the phone using Kies
Start Kies, then go to Tools then Firmware Upgrade and Installation, this process will wipe the phone and reinstall the latest firmware, you will need some details from under the phone battery but just follow the on screen instructions.

Flashing stock rom doesn't fail..it jst doesnt improve its condition..Touch doesnt work! Flashing(its showing 'Pass' in Odin) and getting detected by computer works well..
As of changing motherbaord..thats wat I am planning to do after i go to my hometown..till then I want to try and make it work..since the symptoms doesn't imply motherboard damage!

Oh..got it now..
Jst out of curiosity..how does rooting some software destroy hardware?
ANd Cnat I jst change that destroyed part instead of Whole Motherboard>?
No.
You can destroy cpu, gpu by overclocking badly, overvolting, eventually internal card can be corrupted but all those scenario aren't linked to a simple rooting procedure (which is only writing two files on the system partition...).
You need to have a good diagnosis, either the digitizer is dead, or the connection of it on the motherboard. Our the motherboard.
Replacement won't be cheap especially for motherboard.
