thnx for the help but it isn't a boot loop but it just won't start up
only thing i can do is to push it in downloadmode after falshing original sw it still doesn't start?
is it bricked now?
need desperate help now snifsnif
I would follow the boot loop instructions first .
1) Turn off your phone. Unplug it from your computer etc
2) Hold down home, power, and volume UP. This will enter recovery mode. If you are using CF-Root, you'll get CWM recovery.
Do you have in CWM recovery Mounts and storage if so Format data system cache and sd card .
Followed by boot to download mode and flash stock rom .

problem is i can't get in recovery mode either not original or cwm
so that is why i can only flash through odin
flashing original fw at the moment with odin but it is hangin now for about 5 mins. now with writing factoryfs?
Ok lets try flash CWM root via Odin
Root + CWM .

ok did what you said but it started by giving boot image with triangle but after that nothing can't get into recovery or download mode
only thing is that it still gives a battery pic when i put it in power socket
is it really broken now?
trying to get the original fw/sw on but is it normal that it takes so long to write factoryfs on th phone?
No should not take more than 10-15 mins to flash in full .
Edit it was broken from your first post but we can recover 90% of the time .
You are out of options return to service centre and say it failed during a Kies update .

now it worked with frankensteins fw xxxk3 startss up with original samsung letters without triangle but it won't boot or startup as it supposed to do?
when i use vol up+home+power i get a grey battery icon?
samsung centre not in neighboorhood only thing to do is get it back to vodafone shop where i got it.

got no rom working at the moment
at this moment totaly screwed and getting angry everything stays black at the moment
reaction zero from my phone only when i put it in power socket it warms up but cant get it on connected to anything
getting really desperate by now need really big help now
So at the moment you cant even get into download mode, you need to tell us exactly what files u were trying to flash and where you got it from, it;s very difficult to brick this device
was flashing sensation rom then it turned off after that tried several times to get the original fw to get it on but i could still get it in downloadmode after flashing frankensteins xxkh3 fw it turned off and now it's still down won't start up anymore screen keeps black and no vibration at all butt warms up when in power socket but i don't see the bat icon anymore
allrigth i did bricked my phone i have black screen and nothing happened and is on his way to samsung service center to be repaired?
i'll give feedback when it returns hopefully by next sunday.
can anyone tell me if they can see if it's been rooted after i put original fw back before it died on me.

If the phone is not responding to any button inputs now, your only choice is a JIG that may be able to force download mode, if that doesn't work, a de-bricking service

at the vodafone shop tey tried to use the JIG but still nothing happened to it so it's send back to samsung for repair
de-bricking service couldn't work it out either so i'll just have to wait for at least 5 working days for any response
thanks for your help/advice though!!!!!!!!!
Hi everyone.
I have a i9300 and it is stuck in rebooting.
Power key is ok.
I can get it to download mode or recovery mode.
I can wipe cache and partition but nothing change, it keeps rebooting.
I cant use odin because odin didn't see the phone,
I think USB debugging wasn't on. But I cant find a way to open it without turning on.
I am looking for possibilities and solution for 2 days and I cant find any. Please help me.
bootloop
It seems you are stuck in a boot loop. Try clearing the cache & perform a full factory wipe. Then reboot your device.
Hope that helps.

If you've cleared the partition structure then you've turned a possible soft brick into a hard brick, you'll need a new motherboard now.
Try flashing the rescue firmware, from the thread in general, but I wouldn't hold out any hope.

same problem but worse please help
HI guys i have exactly the same problem but my bootloop was caused by installing recovery through the cwm app and then rebooting to recovery through the app. i rebooted to recovery with an app before and it caused this aswell ...however back then my volume down button was working. i fixed it last time by going into download mode and flashing philz recovery however i cant enter download mode or recovery or boot into system.
PS: my phone doesnt boot into recovery it comes up with the samsung galaxy s3 gt 19300 logo then it comes up with the cwm recovery icon in the middle of my screen and 'clockwordmod recovery v6.0.6.4' at the bottom of the screen then restarts itself.
i dont know what to try i have looked around, didnt want to create a new thread just wanted to find out if anyone has any idea of what i can do except for buying a new volume down button thats my last resort apprently its £35 to fix
easy way to fill up you thanks meter guys as any sort of input and advice is extremely appreciated.
alphadavid99 you fried your lcd when you flashed cwm made for note in the other thread.
Hi i have the issue... I am able to get in Recovery and Download Mode.
While in recovery i had formatted the whole internal memory and tried flashing about three AOSP ROMs (Formatting each time before Flashing) but the only result was the endless boot up screen (not boot loop).
Then i tried flashing a sammy ROM and it worked...
Could someone tell me why am I able to flash Sammy ROM but not AOSP (such as ARCHIDROID & SLIMBEAN).
My Model is GT-i9300
Current Modem - XXUGMK6
Current ROM - S4 Revolution ROM (TM)
Thanks in advance for your time if someone has any suggestions
Hello,
I have a S3 which is stuck in a bootloop at the samsung logo.
when i turn it on it shows the logo for some seconds then the screen goes black and the logo re-appears.
i can not boot into recovery mode, but download mode is working without a problem every time.
i tried flashing stock firmwares with odin and also tried kies emergency firmware recovery. the flashing always went without any problem, but it had effect. whatever i try, i am never able to boot into recovery and still stuck in the bootloop.
in some tries after flashing the screen just shows the samsung logo forever, but after rebooting it once it then is stuck in a bootloop again (shows the logo - screen goes black - shows the logo...)
i also tried flashing TWRP and CWM via odin, but again i can never boot into recovery mode.
what should i try next?
thx alot for any helpful comment

You can Try this:
1.) Pull out battery
2.) Put it in again
3.) Press Vol up + home + power
4.) When the Samsung Logo appears let it off
I think you press the Buttons too long.
I had the same problem!

i really tried everything, it's not working. btw with i am stuck at the very first image, where it says "samsung Galaxy sII GT-I9300".
i dont think it's just the way i press the buttons because i can reach it on my s1 and s2 without a problem, it's just not working on this device.
could some setting like "nand erase all" in odin help? in other threads there is sometimes mentioned that the internal file system might be screwed up and in those cases a simple odin reflash does not help anymore...
Nand erase will usually hard brick it. Try the rescue firmware from general forum, sticky thread. Follow the guide exactly as it includes a pit file.

thx, but i already did that (multiple times) and flashing via odin always succeeds. then the phone reboots and is stuck at the first samsung galaxy s.. screen. twice i managed somehow to get into recovery (after flashing cwm6) but it then randomly rebooted.
and i dont think that the power button is stuck because when i am in download mode it is perfectly fine it never reboots itself unexpectedly.
Had a similar issue on my tab2 p3100. It all happened when I tried flashing a custom recovery from rom manager.
A bad flash of anything related to recovery or bootloader could be a probable cause.
I remember a knowledge share on one of the threads describing this issue and as mentioned on it all I had to do is this:
1) switch off the device and plug in the charger. This would light up the display showing you the charging status. The status has to show if at least your bootloader part of the phone is fine.
2) plug out the charger and immediately press the three buttons (home + vol up + power) get into recovery mode. This step has to work and help you get to recovery mode.
***Note : the interval within which this step has to be performed is too short since the display would turn off immediately as soon as you plug out the charger. A bit tricky too so you have to be fast. If this misses getting you into recovery, pull out the battery and put it back again. Repeat step1 and 2 again.
3) upon successfully getting into recovery, perform wipe data, cache and select reboot phone from option available on recovery again.
Allow the device to boot. This could take a while since you have performed a data wipe and may prompt for first time set up.
I was able to restore functionality on my tab after these steps and like ppl learn from their mistakes, I then learnt that recoveries and bootloaders are things that needs to be done with a pc only.
Worth a try if you have tried other alternatives and found no go. may help. Who knows..
all the best.
thats also not working. i tried to get into recovery since two days now...
i also tried the steps from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/help/solved-pit-bricked-dead-problem-gt-t2535367
but again, after i flash the cf-root (successfully) the phone does neither boot into recovery by itself nor can i do it by hand...
its crazy... in download mode i can see the model number (GT-I9300) and i thought as long as the model number is there and i can enter download mode there should be a way to recover the device.
but i cannot think of anything to try that i have not done yet
If the rescue firmware didn't help then it looks like the emmc chip is damaged.

is there a way to make certain of this? how can i tell if it is really a hardware damage and not just a software brick?
i just dont want to let the phone go, it looks still so shiny
is there anything else that could cause the phone not booting into recovery mode after flashing custom recoveries?

Same here, still didn't found how to fix it.. I guess our motherboard just died..
Howewer I have a solution that "almost" worked for me.
Get a stock firmware in odin and turn on Nand erase and T-flash
When it's done phone reboots and you'll see just "Downloading..." mode when you turn it on.
Then got to Kies and Select firmware recovery...
Enter s/n and model name and wait for the flash to complete.
With it , I got past boot logo and actually booted into android but the phone crashed because I guess I have a memory issue..
Well , gl. If you don't find anything else helpful , try going with this method..
Good day, everyone! I would like to ask for help from all of you - I am truly desperate.
I tried to root my phone yesterday, anyway, here are the facts:
Model: Samsung Galaxy S3 (International/i9300)
Software used: Odin3, v 1.85
When I connected my phone, it was detected, and started flashing my phone. It was set to reboot automatically after flashing. The PASS! box appeared at the upper left side of the ODIN software, then the phone reboots. The "Samsung Galaxy SIII i9300" logo shows up, followed by a screen which shows several things, like SD card marker, installing SU, etc.
After both these screens, the boot logo appears again, then is followed by a black screen. In my laptop, the "USB Device detected" sound is heard, and when you detach the phone, the "USB device removed" sound is heard. I can still see the device via Odin. Even the phone software installs. However, there is only a black screen.
I tried recovery mode, CWM screen shows up. I tried Wiping Data, Wiping Cache, Wiping Dalvik Cache, but still, I can't seem to get past the boot logo.
I can pretty much open Download Mode and Recovery Mode.
What would be your diagnosis? And what possible solution can you suggest? Thank you, and more power!
Maybe try Odin3 v3.07
That's what I use and has always worked. Also, don't detach your USB cable when u hear USB attached sound. Rather wait for 5 minutes after that.
If it gets stuck at the Samsung logo, reboot to recovery and wipe dalvik and cache
@Neferpitou: wrong rootkernel probably. Use CF-Autoroot. If this doesn't succeed, go back to actual firmware (from sammobile.com), then root again.

Can you refer another website where I can download such? SamMobile offers 15kb/s download speed for 900+ MB worth of data.
Well I saw something here which has this file: GT-I9300XXUGMJ9_KOR_FACTORY.zip, I believe it's a rescue data. Will it suffice?

Try to uninstall your usb drivers , the go here at the end of the first post (OP - this is Convert kernel zip to tar tool, but no need to do any conversion), download usb drivers and odin. At post #4 you have pre made kernels. Flash any kernel you want DorimanX or Gustavo in AP or PDA box and make sure re-partition NOT ticked. After a successful flash you phone will boot and stays at the boot. take off battery and insert again , power up with power on + home + vol up to enter recovery and format ONLY these partition /data& cache - dalvik cache, system, preload. Once in recovery, your will be able to mount usb or mtp device to recover your files and try flashing a custom rom!

hey dude i got stuck on zimage in odin, the problem is mostly the flashing part i am using kk-kernel-04-02-CWM-for ODIN.tar
(Gustavo Kernel)
It shouldn't stuck, try other kernels, doesn't matter that they are kk or lp. try other usb port, even another pc!
Edit: I forgot , try another cable! Flashing via usb cable there no room for error, so no faulty usb cable ports and corrupted drivers!
