Hi All,
My phone is GT I9300 International Version,
ROM Installed before incident: one of the latest (past month) CM 10.1 nightly builds.
Woke up this morning and my phone was in download mode and my screen was like this and it kept rebooting:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Tried taking out the battery / reboot / connecting to usb problem persists the rom is not loading and bring you back to download mode with the white screen.
Tried to enter the following modes:
Recovery Mode: NO RECOVERY MODE, it enters back to the download mode.
Download Mode: when entering download mode the phone screen is black as it should be
Conclusion: DOWNLOAD MODE IS THE ONLY AVAILABLE MODE I HAVE !
So, i figured something probably have gone bad in the phone but it's fixable since i can still go into the download mode.
So i downloaded one of the stock roms from samsmobile and tried with odin
Odin 1.85/3.04/3.07 - Getting error messages:
every time i tried reflashing it has lost the driver connection and even though it showed "Added" in the ODIN sometimes it wouldn't pass the setup connection step, so everytime i had to reboot the phone in order for the connection to be properly initialized.

No Pit ? So i downloaded a PIT:
SGS3\GT-I9300_mx_20120220.pit - this one fits the i9300 with 16gb according to what i searched and off course the model i own.
here is the odin output

and that's it it was just stuck like this forever...
I should mention that i tried different USB ports or even computers (all win7 64 bit) also tried runnning it(odin) with windows xp sp3 compatibility
usually when you start download mode and odin has started already you would see some kind of a progress bar on the actual phone,
that was missing as well...meaning the phone didnt seem to respond so far to the odin although it did shows sign of connectivity.
does anyone have a solution for this issue ???
Flashing Pit can kill your phone ..
But looks like your PIT was damaged anyway .
Solution is a service centre repair or buy a new motherboard .

Is this the famous MotherBoard Bug ? My version was 1.1
Anyhow, the download mode works its just you can't do anything with it because the its missing a pit file and can't upload one apparently ...
Anyone has a better suggestion about how to forcibly re-partition the drive ? and set the pit file ?
to me it sounds like a SD CARD issue and not a motherboard issue...
Does it show product name while in download mode? Or is it blank?
No its not SDS.
If you think its sd card then you are confused as NAND is part of the motherboard .
As you have no warranty then its certainly worth trying to repartition .
Sorry i don't know where the relevant post is .

Hi,
Nope it doesn't say the product name in that field, what does it mean ?
here is the out of that...
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME:
CUSTOME BINARY DOWNLOAD: No
CUSTOME BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom

No its not SDS.

its ok, thanks for the patience,
i thought the re-partitioning is related to the space allocation between the partitions.
but you right since its just a few kb file it can sit on the nand, and be flashed.
Just got the exact same problem, used cyanogenmod 10.1 for a long time. Last days it has been freezing all the time so i put MIUI on it and after an hour it died.
If your product name is blank in download then you have SDS, return to Samsung for warranty repair.
Try flashing any kernel in odin and than check result

Does anybody has a explaination for the white stripes on the screen? Normally the download mode screen is just clear but when it turns on it get's stuck at the white stripes.

The motherboard is blown, memory control chip is toast which probably explains the white lines.

Great, thanks. Hopefully they will repair my phone under warranty. It has been a very long time modding and running cm10.1.

You can try this solution:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30087735&postcount=6
Read and follow the instructions exactly. If it doesn't work then you'll need a new motherboard, there is no other software solution.
It's NAND problem and it's solved
Hi,
this happens when you tick by mistake NAND ERASE ALL in ODIN software (ver.3 and newer), and then is partition damaged or couldn't be restored as the device need. Or when the some apps has access to EFS folder or DEV folder. Could be damaged partition.
Problem is solved here: Boot logo not boot animations disappeared! - solution is here! :highfive:
Regards, Peter
P.S. In thread above I explain all and btw. I had white stripes before starting my tablet! Everything will great after rebooting but white strips stayed.

already try with 1.85 no luck already try with different pc still same i can flash another s3 but i can not flash this phone.
Start .
One what firmware on the phone .
Two what firmware are you flashing .
Three is the phone SGS3 International I9300 .
Four have you tried re download of firmware .
jje
1-stop kies (if it is installed) before trying to use odin
2-try reinstalling the USB drivers
3-try with the stock SGS3 USB cable if you tried with another cable
4-try on another USB port on your computer
5-try on another computer
If none of this work, it seems that your phone has a R/W corrupt NAND and you will probably never be able to flash it
Maybe you need to turn on USB debbuging in phone settings.

Actually, I'd recommend one to completely uninstall KIES, since it is utterly worthless. It is possible to uninstall KIES but keep the drivers.

I dont know what firmware in the phone before customer bring phone like this.customer just saying he was just taxing and after he put in charge and he woke up and and finds out his phone saying Encryption failed
Code:
Encryption failed
Unable to complete encryption due to on interruption,perform factory data reset(erasing all your data )before use,After resting try encrypting device again
i m trying to do hard reset but wont let me do.
i try few different pc no luck with kies without kies same error.
He set phone encryption in settings and process has been interrupted or there was some errors while encrypting.
This procedure takes a while, even few houers. If phone will be rebooted by user or by power loss (weak battery) encrypion will fail in half way.
You should try to Initialize phone to factory default system by Kies. You need seril number and device name. GT-9300 in this case. Kies will check Samsungs database and try to restore original firmware, also branded. Kies will try to repartition to stock layout, format and flash this firmware.
This option is somwhere in Kies menu, tools if I remember.
If its fail than only option left is try Odin, 3 files firmware, mx.pit and repartition check while flashing.

It is XEO (Ost Europe) version but if flashing will be succesfull than you may flash anything you want after that. Only csc or whole newest one file firmware.
Look also at this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1796062
You must be aware that partitionning is not recommended. There is always small chance to screw something but in this case it seams like your last hope.
Personally I never had any problems with .pit (sgs, sgs2,sgs3), but s**t happens.

SIRKUNON the option you suggested, doesent worked in my gt-i9300, my s3 freezes then reboot i cant turn on the debugging mode because it freeze then reboots, if i try to hard reset it via recovery mode, it only restart but nothing changes. so im trying to flash a new stock firmware but no luck, i also tried flashing with a 3 part file rom but still no luck.

Try one more thing, set mx.pit as pit check repartition an UNCHECK autoreboot. Flash only pit. If it finish with success dont reboot your phone and do not disconnect it from Odin. Set this time pda, modem and csc (without repartition) and try to flash.
If it fail than its mean propably damaged nand and only service center will help (maiboard replace).
There is an option to flash only param.fs file as pda but i never tried this metod.

Pit file could help when odin does not see the pit directly from the phone (and needed if you want to make repartition)
This does not seems to be the issue here...
Problem is that partitions are partially encrypted and unreadable (odin is reporting error when trying to start flashing firmware to nand). Repartitioning restores the default layout. After that partition should be formated to zero all data (only file table) to virgin state.
I'm not sure it will decrypt nand but its worth a try, doesn't it?
***
F.reset can be selected but not necessary while only pit flashing.

what should i DO ?? i can only gen into download mode
What guide were you following? Did it say to put the firmware into "pit"?
Considering you have no idea what you're doing, it's unlikely you'll manage to fix this by yourself.
Short answer: flash the correct pit file

oh sorry i meant PDA ...
So you only flashed the pit file without the actual Firmware?
You really need a guide to not screw things up here now.
If download mode is working, good.
What files do you have in your firmware zip file. I mean there can`t be only a Pit file.
List all files here detailed.
Edit:
So there was only one File? and you put it in pda?
If yes that should be correct.
What Galaxy S3 do you have? The international one? I9300 ?
Also provide a link from where did you download the Firmware?

Then try reading the basics before flashing anything .

1. tell us where exactly you got the firmware
2. read the product name under the battery. is it I9300?

Ok first download a firmware that is absolutely safe to use. You can use this site to do so or search here at XDA for a Firmware:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/
XDA I9300 Firrmwares (Check the second post of that thread and search for your country):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646610
afterwards check how many files there are in the firmware zip and then use this guide to flash the firmware:
Intratech said:
1. Just download the firmware version you want from the second or third posts and extract the .tar or .tar.md5 file in the archive and save it somewhere
2. Reboot your phone to download mode.
To get download mode shut down the device. After it shuts off completely simultaneously press the Down volume key+ Home button + press the power button .
You should see a warning asking you to press volume up if you want to continue or volume down to cancel, press volume up. You are now in download mode!
3. Start Odin
4. Click on the PDA button and browse to the .tar or .tar.md5 file that you extracted in step 1
If the package has more than one .tar archive then they will be labelled with PDA, Phone/Modem and CSC. Just put them in the corresponding section of Odin
5. DO NOT PUT .PIT FILE AND DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT TICK REPARTITION.
Anyone ask about .pit file is a moron

6. Connect the USB cable and wait for the ID:COM section to turn yellow
7. Click start to flash
8. Do not disconnect the cable or turn off the device, it will reboot when it finishes.

My suspicion is that kies interrupted the flash.....Did you disable kies before the flash?

Ok first download a firmware that is absolutely safe to use. You can use this site to do so or search here at XDA for a Firmware:

XDA I9300 Firrmwares (Check the second post of that thread and search for your country):

afterwards check how many files there are in the firmware zip and then use this guide to flash the firmware:

Hi guys:
I have a problem with my GT-I9305. Last week it showed me some messages about a Policy Update and an app trying to access files. I clicked on Upgrade and it said that I have the latest one. (words more than less). Friday morning it restarts itself and never passes the 1rst screen, the one saying Galaxy S III GT-I9305, not even the one saying Samsung.
So I went to Samsung Support in Melbourne and been told that main PCB is faulty and need to be replaced. But.... there is the reason of my post ... I found that I can enter download mode and even I tried to do a factory reset. But apparently NAND files are corrupted as the boot files are missing. (Images attached) I have errors like :
E:failed to mount / cache (no such file or directory)
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now , a faulty PCB won’t allow me accessing download mode or android factory reset / wipe options , I believe. (or want to believe)
So, is there a way to flash the whole thing and resuscitate my phone?
I tried to use Odin V1.85, V3.09, V3.10 with firmaware taken from sammobile for Australia Optus (as I bought the phone from them) I9305XXUENC2_I9305OPSENC3_I9305XXUENA2_HOME.tar.md5
It failed all times.
Some forums suggest me to flash the .pit file, but I can’t find the one corresponding to my phone.
So the thing is : can my phone be hard bricked and still give me the down load options ?
if No, How can I flash the NAND files
This is a Galaxy S III LTE for Australia, service provider Optus. I did not root it and it was using stock firmware with officials updates. and yes , of course it's out of warranty. (otherwise the guys in Samsung would put more effort in fixing it)
Model: GT-I9305
FCC ID : A3LGTI9305
SSN: -I9305GSMH
Any help is much appreciated.
Do anyone knows how to restore / flash the bootloader ?
That could take me in the right direction

Hey Jonathan, I haven't used a Samsung Device for a while as I moved on to use Sony devices, but I'm gonna try to help you out as you asked me on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=61923100&postcount=149
Just give this a go.
Download this Vodafone firmware from here http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/50575/I9305XXUFOD3_I9305VNZFOD1_VNZ/
Follow the instructions you see on the bottom of the page that includes downloading Odin v.3.10.6. After that if it's failed again then re flash the firmware with Re-Partition ticked and pit file included. Find the attached pit file for I9305

Thanks for replying , I definitely will give it a go. :good:
By the way I notice you give me a link to New Zealand - Vodaphone Firmaware, but mine is an Australian - Optus. Would it work in the same way using the following firmware, given the same PIT file you mentioned ?

Yeah it doesn't matter, Except New Zealand firmware is newer and Android 4.4.4 Kit Kat while Optus firmware is Android 4.3 Jelly Bean. If you already downloaded the Optus firmware then don't waste your time downloading the NZ firmware. See if you can boot your phone after re-partitioning with .pit file

Give it a another go with old version of Odin 3.07 attached below, which is the last version I used with my S3. Try it with and without .pit . I'm afraid I can't think of anything other than hardware fault if it still fails after that. Also make sure Kies not running on background and Samsung USB drivers are installed. Good luck

:crying: RIP my good old GT-I9305.
Ohhh just remember, is there a way to do the same with an SD card?, I mean not using Oding?
Perhaps I could bypass the issue and install from the inside.

You could try.. But You need a custom recovery first such as CWM or TWRP.. Good luck
Well, all efforts were made to save the good old S3, RIP GT-i9305.
We had good times but you departed too early.
Kamalmawa thanks for your efforts.
AAAAND now I have a shiny new S5 $40 plan, 1 GB data. not too bad
During sending an SMS my phone hangs, and does not start anymore.
The phone is rooted. I tried to start recovery but nothing happens (Vol UP + Home + Power Key).
Odin is working by VOL Down + Home + Power Key, so i tried to flashTWRP recovery (https://dl.twrp.me/zerolte/twrp-3.0.2-0-zerolte.img.tar.html)

But I can still not start into Recovery(?)
I think the next steps is to try a full flash of complete image, right?
But can i download/backup some files from the phone without recovery, I don't want to loos all my data (if possible)
Are there any other procedures to try?
Best regards,
Tom
Now, I tried Smart Switch with recover option -> no success ;( Stuck on Samsung boot logo.
I think I need a new phone (any help?)
You can't backup anything without the phone on or recovery.
Try hold only POWER + VOL DOWN ONLY nothing else. This should force safe mode. If this doesn't boot up hold power and vol down again until it goes off then quickly switch to recovery mode combination. If this won't boot to recovery next thing is to flash stock firmware. But you will lose all data and it will flash a new recovery image.
What model is it and what region?
Thanks for your tips, unfortunatly it does not work -> Save mode also stuck on boot screen.
I also tried to flash stock firmware (G925FXXS4DPIF_G925FVFG4DPHB_G925FXXS4DPIF_HOME.tar) -> Same issue
Model: International Version: SM-G925F
Should I try to flash a new bootloader? Which one? What's about my EFS Backup?

I fear the worst... still no look to boot into recovery, after flashing the provided firmeware and installing twrp again.
I think its a hardware fault (ram/memory issue)

I've also tried downgrading the version so i can sideload pie BUUUUT of course it does the same thing. I don't get it. I've ALWAYS had issues with Odin with ANY samsung device. I have windows 10. What's the deal here? I'm using the ATT variant of the S9+ I've read people saying OMG IT WORKS THANKS but I can't get odin to do anything but FAIL and get stuck on bloated firmware. And these threads tend to get ignored so I really hope someone has an idea.
I've ran it as admin. I've turned it on as admin THEN plugged the phone in. I've tried literally everything possible and it just fights me.
Are you putting the phone in download mode?
Odin has been around since the dinosaurs, and has been roc solid since then. You're doing something wrong, or have an issue somwhere on your end.
Are you enabling usb debugging on the phone and using the patched Odin?

That's what I thought but I was advised to enable it in the developer options. I flashed a Verizon s9 plus to the unlocked firmware with no issues at all, using that same Odin. I was also advised to choose a firmware that has the same bootloader version that the phone was currently on.

The 5th number from the end is either 1,2, or 3. So I checked in the phone info app and currently I had 1, so I chose an unlocked firmware that also had a 1 there. It flashed fine, and then it got all the OTA updates to get up to the latest unlocked build. Hope you figure it out!
Oh, I was also advised to choose an XAA firmware, but I have no idea why or what that even really means. I think it just means it's completely carrier free. Also I used CSC rather than Home CSC

My bootloader has a 3, and I don't see any XAA firmware with a 3 on the bootloader.

The XAA is probably not crucial, but the bootloader number is I believe. Any luck yet?
Try to delete all android and samsung drivers on your PC. If you have Kies or smart switch uninstall it. Then start your phone in download mode and open odin. At least plug it into your PC and wait a few minutes, that Windows can find the drivers.
Are you launching ODIN as admimistrator? As in right click on it and selecting "runa as administrator "

I ended up just taking it back for a refund, the razer phone 2 is under AT&T with no bloat so I'm waiting for my refund from best buy. I liked the phone, too much bloat and bixby is the most worthless assistant. It wasnt even worth trying to disable it, samsung lost their touch. I miss the old galaxy phones without KNOX and this bixby crap. so this can be closed.
had the same issue. Changed USB cable and all was good.

I've been trying to flash the unlocked firmware and debrand and get rid of the bloat. But either gets stuck on Setupconnection or Initializing..

I've also tried downgrading the version so i can sideload pie BUUUUT of course it does the same thing. I don't get it. I've ALWAYS had issues with Odin with ANY samsung device. I have windows 10. What's the deal here? I'm using the ATT variant of the S9+ I've read people saying OMG IT WORKS THANKS but I can't get odin to do anything but FAIL and get stuck on bloated firmware. And these threads tend to get ignored so I really hope someone has an idea.
I've ran it as admin. I've turned it on as admin THEN plugged the phone in. I've tried literally everything possible and it just fights me.
