Hi, I have a bricked Galaxy S3 to fix here.
I generally install ROMs for people, so this one guy came by and said he tried changing his GS3 (i9300) to Cyanogen Mod, but it bricked it
I don't know when nor how he did it, the guy doesn't even know what happened because he left it flashing and went somewhere else
According to him, he used odin, doesn't know wich version of CM he installed, he only knew he installed a CM based ROM using Odin and it doesn't work anymore
Here's what i already know and tried
- The Phone won't power for more than 30 seconds on battery
- If I remove the battery and keep it usb, the phone keeps up in Download Mode
- Can't enter any recovery, tried flashing : Stock Recovery, TWRP, CWM and none worked, all of them show up and the phone reboots
- Tried doing the same thing i did on the download mode, but in recovery. It shuts down anyway,
- Tried leaving the phone without battery for a whole day and nothing changed!

Hello
I have been using my int Gs3 for sometime and decided to root and explore the mods and custom fw world. I have started with getting to root access and after that install CWM.
Then I try to install nightly cyanogenmod 10. It didnt work and boot back to normal GS3 Touchwiz interface. After that I tried the GooManager and when the phone is restarted it went to bootloop. I removed the battery and put it back. The problem started there.
The phone does not boot to any OS, I only can see the galaxy s3 9300 black splash screen and awatis there. I can go into download mode, but when I go into recovery mode, I can see the Android robot, and it dies The screen is too fast but what I can see it cannot mount EFS, System and any folder.
So I have tried several different methods
- Tried to flash with original rom, different roms, CWM and what I can find suitable for international model. But everytime I got stucked in Nand Write part. In some of them, the flash started and stucked in installing some parts(passes the cache and hidden and stuck after that)
- Tried with bricked phone roms, different PIT files and Bootloader Vralec methods.
- When I am trying these, I have tried with 3 different PC's with/without KIES and Samsung drivers installed. When I plug the phone in Download mode, the PC recognizes it as Generic device.
- I manage to flash the CWM but when it restarts it does not go any further than the first splash screen, but in Odin, some time later it turns to pass. Funny, when the phone is on Galasy S3 black splash screen, the pc recognizes the phone and starts to install the driver.
So, here is an interesting flashing story of mine. I really would appreciate your valuable comments and suggestions.
Thanks in advance.

So i recently tried to flash my phone to cynagenmod and i was intensely close to doing so until i noticed what i did wrong.
But then when i rebooted my phone after using clockwork, my phone would not boot up after the start screen.
I am able to use recovery mode and download mode but i cannot go anywhere beyond that.
I also tried restarting it with Odin but it wont recognize the device even though the proper drivers have been installed.
I have tried unplugging it in different usb slots and ive reinstalled Odin.
Is there anyone that could possibly help?
Just get back to recovery and flash the rom, many times if coming from a different version (2.2-->4.2) it requires more than 1 flash

And 2 posts down I explain what I did
I know this is a known issue, but the thing is that most solutions i have found regard looking into the phone's settings.
The thing is I can't even boot my phone any more. The moment I get the Galaxy SIII GTI9300 logo the phone simply freezes there forever.
It's been like hours like this. I even tried removing the battery for half an hour and put it back. It just won't boot any more.
I didn't install a custom ROm after rooting, the phone was freshly rooted and didn't got to that step yet.
I rooted the device by using the toolkit http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...msung-galaxy-s3-unified-toolkit-v8-0-t1703488
which surprisingly worked pretty fast and I was able to confirm that my phoen was rooted by installing a root-only app (Root Uninstaller)
then i got a message asking me to update the SU binary and when i accepted the update the phoen restarted never to boot again.
I didn't even get the chance to get the ClockworkMod yet.
Now I don't even have ClockworkMod's menu at the beginning, i have nothing. only the classic boot mode that allows me to download software via Odin (which always fails no matter what package I try)
please help me, i have no other device than that right now....
Download-Mode
Hello and good morning,
have you tried to boot into download mode ?
It's the same like s3
Take the battery out for a few seconds . put it back in and boot into download mode again and it should work
Soo... I have a S2 and S3. I use the S2, today I woke up for my phone freezing on Samsung Logo. I tried booting Recovery, froze on Team Win logo, so I guessed that something is the software went wrong. I decided to flash some Recovery from Odin and boot into Recovery. I Googled, downloaded one recovery, flashed it via Odin, didn't work, tried another one, didn't work, I would put out the battery every time between tries. And boom it wont turn on, only gets warm in the camera region. So I tried all the combinations of putting it the power with and without battery, pushing all the button combinations etc. I told myself I'll deal with it later, need a phone right now. So I used a spare phone my brother game me, an S3. It had a stock ROM and I wanted to flash JB on it. I rooted the S3, downloaded TWRP for Odin, flashed it with Odin, it didn't work, it booted me to a stock recovery, so I rebooted the phone, it went to Samsung logo, I removed the battery to go faster to Download Mode and try something else, and it wont turn on. What happened and what can I do to fix that? I really need a phone for tomorrow. Please help.
Hi
Rooted my S6, and threw TWRP recovery on, put a "sixperience S7" rom on it, at first it worked flawlessly, but since I didnt make a factory reset i pulled one later, thats when my problems started.
Installs fine, reboots and the initial start and setup goes fine, but when the screen turns off and i wake it up again, the screen looked like a pc screen with no gfx driver, funky colors and very dark - tried two times to make a clean install, same happened
Tried to install stock rom with Odin, failed, tried 3-4 times, fails
Then i went into TWRP and deleted all......but seriously all......coudnt boot into anything then, not even download mode, got the message on the screen that "something went wrong in updating the firmware, try the emergency recovery with Samsung Smart Switch" That of course couldnt connect to the phone, when i finally got it to be recognized by the computer, my phone wasn't supported by the program (because it is rooted i read somewhere)
After an hour with a lot of swearing and crying almost, I tried to connect it to Odin and i got connected, installed a new TWRP and i got it into recovery where i could install a new rom, and the phone booted again
Heres my question, when i put it into download mode (tried to install stock rom with Odin once more) then I cannot boot it again, I have to install TWRP and a new rom before I can get it up and running again, is there any possibility to get a stock rom installed ever again?
