I would suggest you use this guide here... http://rootzwiki.com/topic/605-guid...nja-apps-everything/page__p__11106#entry11106
Also, while following the guide you may watch this video for a visual reference. However, stop watching at 5:15! Also, follow the guide (link above) exactly. So make sure you use its files (pit, Odin application, & tar).
​
Tell me if this guide helps you fix your sons phone.
Thanks you i'll try right it now

If I press it for a long time it the screen goes of for about a second then the same screen appears. I tried taking the a battery out put it back in switched on and the same screen appears.

Did you flash a rom from this forum? If so, your bricked.. This is the US version on Sprint (SPH-L710) Yours is the international version which can be found on this section here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1563.
We get a few I9300 people in here and seems to be more often then not. Anything in here that is flashed my render your phone nothing more then a paperweight. Check the forums before flashing anything. (incase you did) Thank you and have a nice day.
Moved to I9300
Now that you have already flashed the wrong firmware.. Try the following..
If you have CWM... Flash any intended for your device.. Wipe data factory reset.. Try booting
If that is not working then..
Download the stock firmware.. Flash it using Odin.. Boot into recovery and do a factory reset... Then see if your device boots..

Stock ROM location?

Where can i find the stock rom for international GS-III? Honestly I have no idea where to find it. People say "download stock firmware" but they never put where it can be located. We need a firmware bible of some sort. Thanks if someone can help me out!

Strange Issue with MediaTek Samsung S4

Hello,
Yesterday I bought Samsung S4 Korean Clone by Media Tek and experiencing several issues with the rest and I decided to go with Factory Reset.
After Factory Reset it stopped displaying Samsung Logo at boot and shut down. I was doing research online and installed different tools on it and all were pointed out that handset should be rooted.
I saw another tutorial to root with MtkDroidTools_v248 and after the successful root of my handset I restarted it and phone gone blank.
I tried to do another factory reset by holding volume up+power+home button but no luck.
I don't have any backup.
Anyone can help?
Thanks

I have a Galaxy S4 clone by Mediatek,it's MT6572 S00 I had a problem on it & after I recovered it stopped working,so I start a long journey look for a backup or a Rom & everyone I tried I got a different prob like:
some made it black nothing work at all & others made 1/2 the screen work & the other 1/2 yellow or multicolor...& it's like that since a long time & I really start to lost hope :'( so Please any help or backup files?
MTKs are a waste of time. If you like Android development and stuff, skip MTKs and get a more reliable brand.

Well mate, I am off MTK, abondened MTK happily everafter, so I could provide you the backup files as I get on to my desk back, but the real problem is lib files about in your clone S4 as it depends on Display IC number used in and according to it you have the firmware must contain that Display IC firmware, so you have to tear down the phone and let know the display IC number, but still it is a no go.

[Q] Star n800+ after rom flash shows only white screen

Hello guys, i need little help with my phone, so here is what happened: Two days ago i tried to turn on my phone, it started booting but the cycle repeated again and again so I got in recovery and wiped data/catche, but that didn`t helped. I thought that if i change the rom maybe I can fix the problem so I downloaded my rom from needrom (there were 2 roms for my device) and started flashing with Flash tool. I downloaded the first rom to my phone and tried to turn the phone on but nothing happened.. I downloaded the second rom and it worked, the phone booted but the only think that I can see is blank white screen, the touch is working and the buttons, when i click somewhere i feel the device vibrating but thats it. One time i managed to make the device appear in my computer as a normal android phone, dont know how this happened. So can someone help me please, if you have a phone like mine can you backup your rom and send it to me or help me find a working one, or some idea how to fix the blank screen. Thanks in advance

[SOLVED] Bricked/Stuck after using ODIN Root?

Hi, all,
I used the ODIN Root for my T-Mobile Galaxy S6 Edge (model 925). I did everything, downloaded the proper zips and exe's and all, and began to root. Everything was going fine, my ODIN exe told me everything was fine, and my phone boots up...
...and stays stuck on the "Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge: Powered by Android" splash screen.
I CAN'T EVEN TURN IT OFF!
Any help would be greatly appreciated
HOW TO SOLVE:
Even though the phone is on, Volume Down + Home + Power will still boot into Download Mode. So do that.
Use the Samsung Galaxy S6 (NOT edge! Yes, the 920 file) zip instead of the Edge zip. And don't use the included .exe - use the official, latest ODIN EXE.
I have the same issue !
So i need to flash the 920's root file ? It won't really brick my phone ?? Or It will boot my phone ?
Thanks !

Please help tmobile s6 edge soft brick
I initially used odin to flash OI1 update, after a rom I was using caused problems and I got bootloop. It changed bootloader value to b:3 and I'm unable to downgrade now so I used smart switch which didn't recognize device so used emergency recovery and still bootloop. I have factory reset and wipe cache multiple times along with adb side load and individual flashes of bootloader, modem, kernel, flashed custom kernel and twrp to access fix permissions and to mount partitions with advanced wipe etc and still wont boot past logo. Also during one fix attempt phone said can't mount system.. Idk I'm not understanding where the problem is .everything says successful but I'm still in bootloop. Please help. I've spent hours everyday for the past week searching & trying different things that seem might help so open to any suggestions.
Hello ,
if phone stuck on logo it means you played with EFS .
If phone Stuck on Logo After Flash Stock it Means Phone has Bad Root Key it know as DRK (DEV Root Key)
It Takes very long to find me perfect solution.
You will need to root phone. ( to turn on )
You will need an UART Interface and Uart Cable.
Than You need to Authenticate MSL
After that Write the Cert With DRK Data.
Now Phone is Good .
Flash with Stock Rom.
Enjoy Your Phone Working Fine.

Hi, can someone please elaborate on this?
I have the exact same issue with the T-Mobile Galaxy S6 Edge SM-G925T
I've tried flashing G920FXXU2BOFJ with Odin but it just fails
I also flashed G925TUVS3DOJC perfectly with Odin but it's still stuck at the GS6 Splash Screen
Samsung Smart Switch does not work.
Can someone please send me the exact link to the file they used to fix this. Thank you
