Im sorry for creating a new thread but i have little problem with my phone.
Yeah its my fault that i´ve checked the pit file in case trying to install beta ics rom
XXKP8 and after that my phone comes with an error. That error is CWM. Witch can´t install any rom. Phone is not compleately dead i can boot to original rom after flashing that through odin but thats it.. only original rom.. no 3rd party rom ..
i dont know how to fix this.. i´ve trying to search everywhere but it seems that i am the only one who have this problem.
so im begging you guys... open your file of mercy and help me

1) Flash the old bootloaders from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 using odin
2) Flash a stock rom from that thread using odin
3) Flash root kernel of your choice using odin
Thank you so much. That finaly helped !

NP, beware ICS bootloaders, lots of people have got themselves in a pickle because of them.
well.. it seemed that everything is alright again. but it is not.. well maybe partialy i dunno. i´ve flashed KL1 stock rom from that thread everything was going well exept 3G wont work. Then, i´ve flashed syah´s kernel for CWM through odin. again.. everything ok. But then i´ve flashed CM7 through CWM5 -> restart -> kernel panic. i tought that CM7.zip has kernell inside so that wasnt be a problem.. but something is wrong.. i´ve trying install miui.. same thing.. but with another kernell. With syah´s, it was ok because syah´s is compatible with miui but CM7 is not ? its like a merry-go-round
so im asking again please... what is wrong ?
Did you flash the modem as well?
There seems to be some random problems with the newest SiyahKernel and CM7, do the following
Put CM7 zip in internal sd card
Flash any CWM kernel
Flash CM7 zip
Reboot to recovery
Flash CM7 zip again
Wipe data/cache/dalvik cache
hmm interesting.. phone is trying to boot but it loops at trying to boot
triangle triangle triangle ... :>
Bootloop thread
been there, done that, doest not solve anything
only going bat to stock rom and then i can continue again:
flashing stock XXKK5 -> ok
flashing siah -> boots -> ok
flashing cm7 nightly 116 -> kernell panic
flashing cf-root -> flashing cm7 nightly 116 -> "boot loop"
again -> "boot loop" (not boot logo but triangle keeps going)

im a total jackass trying to install ICS - > screwing my phone with a .pit file -> only leaving me option of siahs kernell with MIUI or original stock or everything what works witch siahs or cf-root. classic CWM recovery kernell from codeworks just do not seem to work
Did you use the .pit when you flashed ICS?
Yep -> fail

Did you tick repartition when you flashed ICS with the pit? If so see below

i think yes.

The pits seem to be identical, so I dont think thats the problem, you *could* try flashing a GB rom with a GB pit, but of cause if something happens mid flash you could hardbrick your phone, at your own risk, and I don't even think it would help.
Apart from that I am all out of ideas..
nwm thank you for all your help i think ill be just using stock or miui or i will w8 for cm 9
I seem to have a similar problem. Originaly Running stock 2.3.4 i flashed ICS 4.0.3 following a guide on or linked at samfirmware which insisted we should tick repartition and add .pit file. I tried flashing without the repartition + .pit but didnt work so ticked the box and added the .pit file, flashed pass ICS runs.
Every other rom i flashed never required repartition + .pit now i am only able to run 2.3.6 or ics but nothin below 2.3.6 if i flash anything else i get the same as op.
I think my phone is dead. Need help bad.
I went to flash gapps 20121011 in recovery. When recovery loaded I saw this:
E:can't open /cache/recovery/log
E:can't open /cache/recovery/log
E:can't open /cache/recovery/log/last_log
E:can't open /cache/recovery/log/last_log
I didn't take much notice. I went on to install gapps 20121011 and the phone restarted. Resurrection logo (Custom ROM I am using) kept on loading. I went back to recovery and I couldn't wipe the cache, it would freeze.
I tried to mount EMMC and I get this: E:can't mount /emmc/
I tried reflashing the ROM, but it got stuck on 50% in AROMA installation. Stayed like that for a very long time before I turned the phone off.
I then tried to use Odin to flash a stock ROM via download mode, Odin recognised my phone and when I started it, nothing would happen, it will just stall
Then when I turned my phone off after waiting for a long time, I get this message with a yellow triangle in the middle and 2 computers side by side: Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies.
Every time I turn off and on my phone I get that message.
I have a USB jig and can get into download mode. Nothing seems to work.
Please, I really appreciate the help here. How can I get this phone to work again?

Does it make a difference if it's ICS? I was trying to use Odin to flash stock GB version which is pretty old and it didn't work, just did nothing and stalled.
I'm downloading stock ICS as we speak. It's 717MB.

There should be no difference. If GB doesn't work your only choice is ICS. Don't flash 4.0.4 just to stay safe

Tried to flash ICS and this time I get a hint of green bar progress but stalls at cache.img. So far 25 minutes with no progress.
GB stalled on NAND Write Start!! which is the next one up.
Is it screwed?

You should have the correct drivers installed right? You can try installing kies again and this time make sure everything has been installed correctly.

I installed Kies when I first got the phone and installed the correct drivers.
Then I uninstalled Kies but the correct drivers remained.
Odin recognises my phone (becomes yellow, which indicates drivers are installed) and stops at a certain point. I am pretty sure if Odin recognises my phone correct drivers are installed.
Sounds like a nad usb connection to me. Try Odin with a different usb port on your pc. Or a different computer.

Can you get into recovery?
Can you get to mounts and storage?
If so I have got out of a few sticky situations by:
*Go to mounts and storage and format cache, system, data and internal SD card. (Gives you a nice clean slate)
*Connect to Odin and flash a complete 4.0.3 firmware package that includes CSC, ROM and Modem.

Hi guys,
Thanks for all your assistance.
I tried all the methods listed here on another computer: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1449771
The last step was to .PIT and Re-Partition. I did that and now the phone is dead. Won't boot up. I have no USB Jig here, but a repair center is close by.
I gave them the phone now and let them deal with it.
I'm pretty sure they will offer a replacement as I have nooo idea what they would do that I would have done different. I tried almost everything.
Okay so my launcher was crashing so i rebooted, i couldn't get passed the boot screen so i reflashed the rom via sideload, then fix permissions and wiped davlik. I can see the full file system in ADK and my pc sees it but it stays on the htc boot screen, also log cat isn't reporting any errors

Hi, I'm new to these forums and need some help!
I just rooted my Samsung Galaxy S3 i9300 yesterday using the Odin ver 1.85 tool and it was working perfectly all day. I was doing a little research as to how you can use custom ROMs and so I decided to give it a try.
I downloaded the ROM Manager application and flashed the ClockworkMod Recovery that comes with it before attempting to flash a ROM. I then proceeded to download the CyogenMod ver. 9.1.0 that comes with ROM Manager as well. I made sure to make a backup of my current ROM on both my internal and external SD cards and then went ahead and flashed the Cyogen ROM using the application. I also chose to wipe the data/factory reset before confirming.
After the process was done, the phone rebooted with the Cyogen logo and it was all working fine for the first 2 minutes. Then all of a sudden while going through the new ROM's screens, my phone rebooted showing the "Samsung GALAXY S III GT-I9300" message and with a little red "!" mark on the top left. It stays like that all the time. I tried turning the power off and taking out the battery but it always goes back to that screen immediately after.
I'm able to go into the ClockworkMod recovery by holding the volume up+power+home buttons but I see the following lines below:
ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.3.2
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/command
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
I've tried wiping the cache, wipe data/factory reset, and wiping the dalvik cache options but it doesn't seem to work. I also tried flashing the ROM again from the SD card, but when I try to do it, it says "E: Can't mount /sdcard/". Same thing with my external SD card.
When I plug the phone to my computer, it doesn't seem to detect my device either. Is my phone bricked and will I have to get a new one if this is the case?
I tried to do some searching and this thread seems to be similar to what I'm facing but not quite as the methods suggested by the users are unknown to me: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1500947
I appreciate any help I can get!

I tried to flash the i9300 firmware using Odin as suggested but it failed during the process (attached screen shot). I tried doing this 2 or 3 times but I always got the FAIL message. Is there anything else I can try doing before giving up on my phone? Maybe I flashed the wrong file?

Yeap you are right, I should have stated that!
The article states that you should user root66 and Linked boot chains for your device.
This sounds like it might help with OP problem.
He for sure has wrong kernel ... that is similar enough to work but screw is mounting point. Try change kernel with odin ... then flash with odin twrp or philz recovery and flash a proper rom

Hello everyone, i am facing a great wall of desperation, i woke up today to find my mobile stuck on samsung logo, and i noticed it's not responding, i booted to my CWM recovery and it kept generating these errors :
E:can't mount /cache/recovery/command
E: can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E: open /cache/recovery/log
E:can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E: can't open /cache/recovery/last_install
E: can't mount /cache/recovery/last_install
i tried wiping data but keeps generating same errors to the internal SD card with a unique error : E:format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p8 .
i looked for a custom recovery file that i can install using ODIN but they're all in .img form not .tar.md5 so i didn't know what to do with them, phone doesn't recognize .img to install directly from sd card.:crying:
i tried using odin to install custom recovery tar.md5 file but didn't fix anything,
i tried installing this rom ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/development/rom-archidroid-v2-4-6-power-hands-t2354859 ) using the ( mount external sd card ) and transfering rom zip file and installing it via CWM recovery interface, the installation was succesful but still can't boot due to the mentioned errors .
i tried using ABD thingie but for somereason it just won't recognize my phone, while odin does, i tried installing and reinstalling samsung usb driver and ABD drivers but still didn't help,
my original ROM was CM 11.2 nightly.
please help i am desperate, i searched everywhere but there's always something that falls between my steps .
i am more than happy to get assistance via skype etc.
i managed to download and flash my phone with stock 4.3, but i am still facing same problem, stuck at samsung logo and same errors in CWM recovery .
Same problem
i think we might have the same problem.

update: i was able to access ABD command line, i tested 3 CWM recovery .img files and all 3 of them reported as (bad) by my phone .
Could be bad eMMC. If you want to be sure try flash the rescue firmware from this thread (with pit) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30087735&postcount=6
If it's still not working it's a hardware fault.

after multiple tries, it didn't work, the installation won't even initialize, it keeps saying FAIL
please anyone...help !!!!
If you're still in warranty send it in for repair. Sometimes eMMC will fail and download mode will say custom even if phone has never been flashed so they might repair it for you.

it's been long since off warranty, if there's a fix it has to be something i can do myself, sending it for repair is out of the question .

Meanwhile download CFAutoroot and make the recovery of stoock and see if there is recovery. After you find MK6 Factory with BL,AP,CSC,Modem, separated and with odin 3.9 to install and i hope that you have data backup because this eliminates everything. If this succeeds you should do restore the folders EFS. I hope that you can help if you have any problems finding the material send me a private message that I see if I can upload them to mega .
