i have s3. i rooted the phone then tried to install flash miui v5 via with but failed -i guess- because phone is lack of cwm. so i installed cwm but the phone wouldnt boot to recover mode, instead there was always original recovery mode. so i tried again and again but still anything change. then i tried to unlock bootloder with a app named ez lock i guess i did it but after something my phone went to download mode by itself and there is nothing else. top left there is no version info. just download mode with a green android guy. i removed battery and take it back, and tried to open download mode again there was infos top left screen this time. but when i tried to enter recovery mode it just load something in cwm recovery then there is again download mode without infos top left.
now im downloading stock rom, hope it'll work. is there anything else i can do guys? please help me, im not good at this stuff..
Tried to Flash stock firmware ?
sent from the state where marijuana is NOT illegal !!
Bootloader ??? do you actually have a I9300 as bootloader is not locked .
please help me, im not good at this stuff.. That would be due to not bothering to read the faqs and guides first .
My guess is that you have bricked your phone and need a paid for service repair .
i tried to flash to stock rom with odin, but somehow it failed to flash :S then phone stucked at a screen that says "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in kies & try again. then i found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2261153 and my phone opened.
i have a question though, why didnt cwm open in the phone? if it had opened i would've install miui
Things went wrong because you didn't read or follow the many guides on XDA that other members wrote to help you. Guessing what to do can be very expensive.
CWM didn't open because you flashed in onto a stock ROM, which immediately restored a stock recovery.

hey guys, I was running my S3 on the paranoid android(2.99) just fine but then I tried to flash 2.54 over my 2.99 install through TWRP. It flashed fine but then it was stuck on the PA bootscreen so then I tried restoring a backup through TWRP but it said no backups found even though I made 3, i later realised they were in a different folder and I couldn't get them.
Anway, desperate to get a working phone, I downloaded the I9300XXELLA firmware and flashed it via ODIN, it failed so I disconnected my phone and now it says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue, select recovery mode through kies". I cannot go into recovery or download mode.
Is there anyway to get my phone to work or have I successfully created a paperweight?
The phone was bought from India. If I need to provide any information, let me know, I'd love having my phone back.
First step is to source a USB recovery Jig to get to download mode .
That fails its a service centre .

does it have to be a stock, or can i flash a custom rom?
Not through odin no.
can you explain more, because i'm kind of new to those things. where can I get a stock, and how do i flash it using odin?
Get firmware from sammoblie. Say lsw firmwear and well here's the thing iv never had to use it so best bet follow the many many guides to use odin. One day I will have to use it but for now I don't no how to
Go over to that newbies thread and post all your current lame questions there.

Hey guys, my friend decided to flash a custom rom, asked me for help, so I told him to get rom manager and install cwm first.
He was rooted already, not long after telling him. To use rom manager to get cwm, he messages me telling me he is stuck cwm, it seems that every time he turns in the phone or restarts he cannot leave cwm at all, he also claims he cannot get into download mode, keeps taking him to cwm.
I got him to and re flash cwm via cwm, but it gave him an error.
Has anyone heard of getting stuck in cwm before??

Get your friend to read the stickies in general, before he flashes anything else and destroys his phone.
Follow the guide to restoring to fully stock using odin on his pc, it might enable the phone to boot normally.

If you have a custom recovery installed (which I suppose you do) the flash Strix's stock ROM zip(you ll get it under the development thread) , for the time being that ll do, and if you want to go back entirely to stock (including stock recovery) follow the steps one more time carefully, download the firmware of your device and use mfastboot, everything should be fine(I have myself done that)
Hit Thanks if that was helpful
thanks for the lead am going to update what happens next in the thread thanx again

If you have a custom recovery, like twrp, you must be able go access your SD card, try entering into the recovery mode

in my first picture attached, that is the screen i get when i try to access recovery from download mode
OK so i guess i was able to restore it back but i just cant re lock the bootloader
i already did a search in google and XDA but nothing worked ! please read carefully
my G925I just restarted and never be able to boot again, so i enter to stock recovery and wiped cache data BUT no luck, and flashed a stock firmware and still the same, it's boot to stuck recovery and show installing updates BUT at 30% its stop and saying "erasing" then its reboot and stay in bootloop,
i managed to get into download mode and flashed TWRP recovery, when ever i try to flash a rom the phone restart again and enter bootloop and it's never shutdown!!
tried :
1- wipe everything
2- flash more than one stock firmware
3- flash recovery and succeeded BUT it's keep restarting !
4- flash custom ROM BUT no luck, keep restart at installing !
5- flashed custom kernel and it WORKED :good:
for now i can only boot into download mode without restart
have a solution ? :crying:

This is a soft boot due to the fact you still have the ability to access recovery and such what i would suggest you do is get factory files and restore phone back to stock and start over this should fix your problem. If you look around XDA you will find the files you will need ODIN being the main tool you will use to flash your phone.

You have flashed a stock firmware with stock bootloader etc. using odin and still stuck in a soft brick ? remember to wipe the phone a rule of thumb i use is to wipe the phone 3 times before i flash and 3 times after i flash. during the first boot up it may take a little time to boot as it must rebuild the cache. I dont think it is a motherboard issue i think you may have just flashed a wrong file that needs to be wiped out before continuing on. i have had this problem in the past with a galaxy s2 when i was developing custom roms for it. it took me a couple of wipes and factory firmware reflashes but i eventually got the phone back in working order. look here for the factory files you will need to re flash your phone with odin ----> https://samsung-firmware.org/model/SM-G925I/ also make sure you are using the latest version of ODIN you will to put your phone in download mode instead of recovery
Hi, could you fix it ?? I am facing the same issue.
