Hi all,
I have a problem with my S3 and got stuck about how to fix it.
I have CWM installed to root the mobile, it was working fine for 8 months.
A few days ago the S3 started to freezing. I kept using and after an usual freeze, I restarted and got stuck in this message:
"Firmware upgrade encountered an issue.
Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again"
Kies do not find my device.
I can boot in the download mode, but can not boot in the recovery mode.
At the download menu have the info:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: GT-I9300
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: Yes (1 counts)
CURRENT BINARY: Custom
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
I downloaded a original ROM, from before the Exynos correction and flashed though Odin. The flash was ok, but at the end the mobile restarted in the same screen (Firmware upgrade encountered an issue) and in Odin showing in a blue box the info "RESET!". I reset the mobile and then Odin said PASS!. But I'm still stuck in the firmware error screen.
After this, at the download menu, the info changed to:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: GT-I9300
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: Yes (1 counts)
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
I also tried to flash a CWM recovery to see If I could access the recovery menu, the flash was Ok but I still can not go to the recovery menu.
What should I try right now?
I'm not an advanced user and I don't know if this is related to kernell, bootloader or PIT, but I want to try if there is a change of revival my mobile.
Thanks in advance

I read this, but I can flash ROM through Odin without problem...
Right now I tried:
flash different .pit repartitions
flash recovery-cmwtouch
flash CF-Insecure
Flash official ROM post- Exodus
Flash official ROM pre- Exodus
and I am at the same error screen without access to recovery menu.
flash different .pit repartitions
Well and truly broke now .
Flash official ROM post- Exodus >> Not sure what you mean by that .
Anyway you need a service centre repair .

I tried the GT-I9300_mx_20120322, it got stuck after the download bar at the cellphone reached 100%, so I used the mx.pit and it was Ok.
Sorry, I wrote Exodus but I want to write Exynos. I used the old ROM because I coudn't reset my counter, but as it didn't worked, I've tried the latest with this exynos fix.
The only good think is that now I have the counter at 0 and the status Samsung official.
The bad news is that the purchase receipt got erased because it was print in thermic paper... Anyway I will try the warranty.
Meanwhile I will keep looking for a solution.
Thanks

This problem is caused by an auto-restore script in Canadian ICS notes. When the phone boots up, it restores the recovery image to the stock Android recovery. To fix this problem, follow the link kindly supplied by zaptor99:

Aaaaaand, into Android System Recovery (3e).

Before doing the Rogers OTA update, I reflashed to stock Rogers firmware using this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1657262
This process worked perfectly from Gingerbread - I installed CWMTouch, then a rooted kernel via ODIN.
I've no idea why I can't boot into CWM? I figure, either the ODIN write is failing (though it reports success), or it's writing to the wrong place. But without root, I'm not sure how I can check.
I'd be eternally grateful for any help. The phone works fine, now, but I *REALLY* don't want to be forever stuck on stock firmware with no way to make proper nandroid backups.
I am not sure why it is like that but it's exactly same on my i717m.
For me, I just went to CWM mode by pressing those keys before giving Note a full reboot.
I could get into CWM mode without a problem so I installed superuse. And my phone is fully rooted.

I can't get into CWM. It seems to flash fine, but when I try to reboot into CWM, it loads the stock Android Recovery instead, so I have no way to flash superuser.
Edit: To be clear, my problem isn't getting root. It's getting CWM working, so I can move forward in any way. Once I've got CWM running, there's zounds of different ways to get root.
Further Edit: Attempts to flash CWM *are* increasing my flash counter.

How can I install TWRP on an unrooted phone without cwm installed? Is there an ODIN friendly tar kicking about? I looked but without success.
My zips are known good, though, used them to install CWM back on Gingerbread.
I just came to the q&a forums to post the same think. I tried flashing CWM 3 times and Im still going into stock recovery. I managed to go into CWM once and was able to flash SU so I have root but when I try to go back to recovery, I end up at stock recovery.

You're freshly into ICS as well? did you upgrade OTA or with Kies? Bdfore upgrading, did you flaah the "stock Rogers original firmware" from here on XDA?
Trying to pin down the common thread, as this appears to be happening to several people.

I reverted back to Bell stock firmware and updated ics OTA.
I tried flashing CWM recovery a couple of times and I noticed the only time I can get into CWM is when I flash and press the volume up + down and the power button before my phone full reboots after the flash.
That way It works but right after the phone reboot for the first time after flashing CWM, it will not fo back into it.
Can anybody help us?
How can we try TWRP if we can't get into CWM?
Sent from my SGH-I717M using xda app-developers app
Interesting! If you can get into CWM that way (reflash and squeeze in) try doing that and using cwm to flash SuperUser.
Then, once rooted, install ROM Manager and have it reflash the latest CWM, maybe that will get us a good cwm install.
cwm 5.8.4.8 works flawlessly.

I actually flashed CWM went into it before my phone rebooted and flashed TWRP and same think happened, when my phone rebooted I loose my flashed recovery.
I doubt Rom manager would work.

It seems like its somehow reverting the restore partition on boot. i suspect it may be a scripted event "on next boot" after ODIN, so flashing another recovery then wouldnt help - the on next boot event happening again when you reboot.
However, ROM Manager would give you a chance to reflash recovery after that happens. Its a xhance, anyways. Seems to have worked for dark? I can't try until after work today.
Plz update me when u give Rom manager a try.

I did EXACTLY as you did. But I used cwm-i717-120305.tar instead. Does it make a difference if the file is .tar and not .md5? Because CWM recovery stayed on mine and works perfectly.

Did you install ICS OTA over pure stock Gingerbread? This doesnt seem to happen to people who had a modded recovery before installing the ICS update.

It was pure stock Gingerbread. I was running an ATT leaked ICS version with CWM installed. But to get the Rogers update I used odin to restore the gingerbread version from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1657262
I did not install CWM or root before I used Kies to get the ICS update. But I see the difference now. I used Kies to get the update and you used OTA. Maybe if you went back to gingerbread and used Kies this time to get the update, it might fix your issue??
Any luck from Rom Manager?
I'm at at a wedding now so I won't be able to try it.

I downloaded a rom called "I9300XXALE9_I9300OJVALE9_I9300XXLE8_HOME.tar.md5"

I can access to the Download mode if i press home+power+volume down

Did you root by CF-Root? Did you happen to flash the wrong one? Erica one of the XDA tv killed her touchscreen by flashing the note2 cf root.
Anyways, use Kies for the firmware initialization or Odin a stock rom, whichever works for you. Be sure to have it in download mode for Odin tho

Hi mate, i have a galaxy S3 19300 with O2 (UK)
so what can you get into at the moment? Recovery? Download mode?
Firstly when you run Odin on the computer, make sure that all the Kies related processes are not running (open Task Manager and kill anything with Kies in the name). Then assuming you can put the phone into Download mode (Hold vol-down, power and home together until you see the Samsung logo), do that, open Odin on the computer and then connect the phone. It should show up ok in Odin. Then you can flash whichever ROM you wish, make sure you choose the correct ROM for your device.

Then assuming you can put the phone into Download mode (Hold vol-down, power and home together until you see the Samsung logo), do that, open Odin on the computer and then connect the phone. It should show up ok in Odin. Then you can flash whichever ROM you wish, make sure you choose the correct ROM for your device.

Yes ive been putting the device into download mode, then using Odin to flash the rom. Problem im having is everytime ive tried to flash the rom, it fails right at the end, and i have tried different roms/different versions of Odin. The only Odin version i have found work was an older version, it is the only one that turns yellow in the 'com' box when i plug the device in. All other versions (like 3.07) turn blue not yellow
Blue in the com box in ODIN 3.07 is ok:
you should have something like '<ID:0/006> Added!!' in the message panel.
Try flashing a recent JB rom with ODIN 3.07. If that doesnt work, try an ICS rom.
If its failing again, post the output messages here.
Also, when you boot into download mode, what does it say in the top left - device id, custom binary etc....

Lol thats good to hear. Ive just tried it with Odin 3.07 and it failed, this is what was in the box:
<ID:0/003> cache.img
<ID:0/003> hidden.img
<ID:0/003> recovery.img
<ID:0/003> modem.bin
<ID:0/003> FAIL!
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
ok, I'd try :
Uninstall Kies if you have it installed. (leave the drivers).
Try turning off any antivirus/firewall....
Try running ODIN as Admin.
See what happens...

Just uninstalled Kies, turned off antivirus/firewalls, didnt know how to run Odin as Admin. I downloaded a different JB version, and it worked, but now the phone is stuck on the 'samsung galaxy s3 - GT-19300' screen, this is definitely a step forward, but still not quite there
Cool
ok, now boot into recovery vol up + home + power
when in recovery, choose factory reset or wipe data & cache, not sure what the wording is....
to navigate in recovery, use vol up & vol down and power button to choose.
Hello guys
my cellphone is currently stuck in a bootloop. Every so often I get in the home screen, after which my screen goes black and it simply reloads the home screen. Whenever that happens, and I try to power down the device, the bootloop just starts again.
I've been able to use my cellphone for up to 10 minutes once, which was exceptional. Now, obviously, I'd like to be able to use my device like I once was able to, so I'm thinking of flashing the stock firmware again, hoping that that will fix my issues.
1. My device is rooted.
2. I had installed the 'stable' version of Rafael Baugis' kernel, more specifically the #201212101860
Link to the kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1818830
3. I had installed the modules as found in Rafael Baugis' kernel thread.
4. I had installed the Cosmic Mods
Link to the mods: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2172673
I'm not sure as to what may cause the bootloop, so I was thinking of reverting to the stock firmware as a whole. I've found several stock firmware for my device on Sammobile, but I'm not sure on how to go from there. I had found a dutch guide here: http://www.androidworld.nl/forum/sa...ow-one-package-firmware-flashen-via-odin.html
Following the above guide, I encountered two issues though:
1. I can't get in the download mode for some reason (holding down Volume Down + Home Button + Power Button for 10 seconds and more than 10 seconds), my device always just start booting. Recovery mode works just fine though.
2. Odin Multi Downloader V4.38 and Odin Multidownloader V4.43 both crash when I load the tar.md5 as found on Sammobile.
Can anyone with more experience help me fix my issues? I'd be more than glad just to revert to the stock firmware and leave it at that, so far I regret my decision of getting involved in modding, because even though I followed every guide step by step I still managed to mess it up.
Thanks!
Flash a stock rom via Odin.
The download mode button combination is: Vol Up + Vol Down + Power.

use odin v3.07 (google it) and flash the
tar.md5 firmware file (put the firmware in pda section)
and make sure firmware is for 5830I
don't flash anything of 5830,
i think the link for tut u gave was for 5830
5830 and 5830i are different

Thanks for the help both of you. I currently have Odin v3.07, with the firmware from Sammobile in the 'PDA' section. Do I have to change any other settings, or is it safe to just hit start?

Installing the drivers with Kies did the trick! Installed the custom rom with the Odin version you suggested, and my phone is good as new!

try again flashing through odin
open odin
remove the battery
connect to pc via usb
hold end button, volume+ and volume- keys
if you get a blank screen , just press the up button
you can see that odin has recognised your device
now mount the pda file and press start

My reply here is basically would cover all of your concerns .
Bootloop even with Odin Success
hey guys pls help me
I flash my phone with stock rom using odin3v1.84 and it show success
but still i am stuck at bootloop
i cannot get into recovery mode
I tried many times flashing with odin but problem presist
NB: First time accidentally I fill bootloader option with PDA file... Is that a source of concern
Try flashing stock rom with Odin. You can find it on xda if you do a little searching. I've been in your shoes before I can't quite recall what particular thread I got the files from but I know if you search you will find them. The package suppose to contain the Odin file and the other three files needed for the flashing. Good luck!
