So its the first time im messing with that staff.i wanted to flash omega rom at my s3. i tried to install but nothing happened so i tried to wipe my cache settings. when i pressed that option my phone stucked. it shows me the galaxy screen, then boots and shows the android icon for a sec and then the same again forever. i put off the battery, powered on the phone and again that problem. Even when its closed and i want to charge it it wont show ths battery icon but will start that boot thing. any ideas?
Can you get in download mode? If so then flash stock Rom with Odin.....see the stickies at top of the s3 general forum for all basics

Did that, and as Odin programm said i had a succesful installation. Then my phone rebooted and started the same ... :/
Can you boot into recovery? If so, do a factory reset, that usually sorts looping after an Odin flash

How do you mean nothing happened? What happens when you power on the phone after first time flashed the omega rom?
And what happens when you try to hold volume up+home button + power button?

Like I said, check the Rom you downloaded to make sure it's ok, the right one for your region, and redownload just in case it's corrupt

Via Odin flash Philz recovery and boot into recovery format sd card system data cache via mounts and storage .
If you cannot then its a service centre repair job .
Are you sure its an I9300 phone check under the battery .

i'm posting this thread because of being desperate for an answer , which my s2 i9100 is not booting i tried flashing stock rom , villain rom , cm9 flashed kernal ,bootloader , repartitioned but no luck and can't go into recovery mode only download mode ( odin mode) and in when flashing, every thing goes smoothly and it passes in odin but then it stuck on boot logo but in cm9 and villain rom with the yellow triangle but not with stock so could it be a hardware defect?
because there is no samsung support or customer service in iraqi kurdistan and i dont know what to do with my s2
thanx for reading

remove your external sdcard
1: flash cwm and from mount and storage format cache, data, system
2: now from download mode flash Gb stock using odin. get a new file file from sammobile / checkfus
3: wait few minutes as the first boot will take upto 5 mins....
4: wait few minutes and dial *2767*3855#
hopefully it should work now.

But, Alas... we could get another type of JIG to enter into Recoverymod too..
no i think he can, as he said he flashes custom but still hungs, unless he meant he flashes cwm.
also remove the cable and try getting cwm, it takes time, on my phone it tooks 3 times the i9100 logo and on third time after displaying logo cwm recovery comes

Hey, I'll explain you what I did ;
After I rooted my device, I booted the device and it worked. After that, I installed CWM, tried to turn on the device and it doesnt work! stuck on boot animation..
Soo...I downloaded SiyahKernel which is the most basic and for major users kernel. You can download it here :
http://www.gokhanmoral.com/?cat=5
You install ODIN on your PC, open it, and click on PDA and open the kernel you downloaded(siyah kernel), you put your device on Download Mode (you press volume down, home, and power button. you will see the download mode screen, it will ask you to press volume up or volume down, PRESS THE VOLUME UP! THIS IS THE ONLY WAY ODIN WILL FIND YOUR DEVICE!). And than on Odin you press start. Hope it helped

Take out the battery and hold vol.up,home and power as you put it back in. That should open recovery. Then wipe the cache and dalvik cache.

Hi guys, I hope you can help....my phone has the latest cyanogenmod ROM installed and all has been running well...until today.I had the phone on charge and when I tried to boot it was getting stuck on the 'samsung galaxy s iii GT-I9300' screen..I have rebooted to recovery cleared cache, delvik cache and installed the ROM again, rebooted and still not working, so I repeated the same steps but also done factory reset, still the same. I have tried to connect the phone to pc but it is failing to load MTP usb drivers ....which I think is a unrelated issue.
I'm sure I should be able to get it going via recovery, have been trying all day...is there something I should be doing that I haven't tried already?
Hope somebody can help as I'm pulling my hair out!
Thanks in advance.

flash official firmware from sammobile.com via odin
Is product name blank in download mode, if yes then you have SDS and need a new motherboard. If no then flash stock rom using odin after full wipe and format of system & data, factory reset in recovery after flash and see if it boots.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk
If you can go into recovery mode, it's not SDS, if you have backup just restore it, or go into download mode and flash stock Samsung firmware.
Make sure that you have latest Samsung drivers on your computer installed.Good luck.
Hi guys...
Thanks for the replies, I'm in the process of downloading the latest stock ROM, I didn't realise it was such a big file 800+MB!

Well,as much as I have read about SDS, you can't go into recovery mode,you can go only into download mode and there is blank product name.So maybe to OP it's a different situation, and to OP I would suggest to check if product name on download mode isn't blank.

Unfortunately not
1) Complete eMMC failure. This usually happens over night whilst on charge* - The LED may be lit but the phone will not wake. Subsequent removal of the battery will turn off the LED. You will never get the LED back on. The phone will never turn on again. It needs to go to a service centre and have the motherboard replaced
* Being on Charge is NOT the cause. This is a writing to memory issue and it is more likely to happen when teh device is awake rather than in deep sleep. When the S3 is on charge, it holds a wake lock (so remains awake) throughout the entire charging period, meaning SDS is more likely to occur when on charge This does not mean you should avoid charging your phone. If it's going to happen, it's going to happen
2) Half SDS as it has not-so-affectionately become known. This tends to be more of a boot loop of the Samsung boot splash. the eMMC is partially wiped out. You cannot boot into android or recovery . It fails at the boot screen, but the screen does turn on none-the-less. The only; thing you can do is top boot into Download mode.
Hi guys
Just to clarify, the product name on download mode isn't blank....and yes I tried the reset after loading from odin.

So your phone is unbricked now? Pressing Home + Volume up + Power button is the proper mode in booting to recovery mode. Or if you could access internet on the device, install some apps that let you boot to recovery mode (like the RebootManager). The error at the samsung boot logo is perfectly normal!

It worked before I messed up the 4.2 kernel.. so I don't think it can't be the hardware.. Also the power button works to boot into download mode and recovery..

hahaha uhm, be careful though! I'm certain there's a way to fix it, but since we don't know it.. Would a restore of a back up fix the problem? (curiosity, since I can't even do that )
