Ok. So, today my gt-i9300 started working. I was using the Resurrection Remix rom 3.1.4 on my phone. Suddenly i wanted to check what's the time and the phone was one, the led was blipping but the phone wasn't working. I restarted it and app after app was crashing, whatsapp couldn't find the conversations, viber wasn't signed in, also the contacts weren't all found. I restarted it again, signed into viber, restored some contacts and i wanted also to restore my messages. I did it and it stopped again and i tried to restart again. Once i did, IT IS STUCK AT THE Samsung Galaxy S III GT-I9300 logo. I don't even know if this is a bootloop and how to fix it. Please help me guys, i really need it!!! And also if it's possible to save what's on my phone so i can put it back on the new software or something? How do to that?

If you can get in to recovery restore the backup you should have made before you installed the rom. can you get in to download mode?

Hey, you can enter download mode right? if yes you can flash stock firmware via odin or if you can have a access to recovery. how about to wipe data, cache and dalvik cache. it might or might not working. Have a try.
Yes, I can access download mode. So I should just flash the original firmware for the country i live in with odin by just putting it in the bootloader section and that's it?
Ok, what the hell, i download the stock firmware for my i9300 and when i'm flashing it with odin 3.04 i get this:
<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..
<OSM> Please wait..
<OSM> I9300XXEMA2_I9300TNLMA2_I9300BOLK3_HOME.tar.md5 is valid.

It happened when the .tar file was on pda and now on phone, and it's staying like this for 10 minutes without doing something....WTH?!?!? PLEASE HELP!!!!!

chill. are you sure your downloaded firmware is not corrupted? put the .tar file at pda. i suggest you to look at ultimate guide there. it will assist you from A-Z
The file is not corrupted, it's download from sammobile.com, that's the thing. I will download it again and try again maybe it will work. Thanks
So, what to do in case the flashing thing doesn't work on my phone? maybe specialised service center would help or something, pls pls i need solutions!!!
Nono, don't put it in the bootloader field, put it in PDA field.
Seems like a driver issue, reinstall drivers and uninstall Kies, try a different cable, port, OS, pc

Guys I need a little help ... my friend's phone (SGS3) can't boot , it just shows the samsung logo (logo begore bootanimation) .
can't enter recovery , but can enter download mode .
I tried to flash it with odin and it success ,, but the phone doesn't boot ??????
As far as I know the problem is with bootloaders . How to flash them ??
I'm very new with samsung , in LG devices we use a completely other tools .
Thanks on advance .

I'd the flash was successful then boot to stock recovery and do factory reset, then it should boot
Note that this will wipe data AND internal sd card
Ok so i tried again to flash the stock jelly bean back and in odin it shows me like this:

The part where it says there's no pit partition worries me most. What should I do in this case, I really want to fix my phone? Should I flash the software again and tick "Re-partition''?
May help.

How it started:
A pop message appears asking to format the phone, I accidentally hit okay, after 10 seconds I realized it, I immediately stopped the process by hitting the back button which caused my phone to go blank screen and freeze. so I pressed and hold power button, and the phone shuts off turns back on then it get stuck on the Samsung Logo/screen and won't go through no matter how long I wait.
So with that said I may have corrupted my Operating System so I went online to try to look for solutions to recover my Note.

okay before i go further if you look at my attachment
first box says "MODEM"
is this normal?
i saw a vid on youtube shows "SYSTEM"
I have read your guide and installed the latest samsung USB driver
I rebooted my computer opened ODIN as admin
followed instructions and i am back to my original post
i think it has something to do with the fact mine shows "MODEM"
this is what i'm talking about.
the difference is on this pic it shows "SYSTEM"
while mine says "MODEM"
does that mean my phone can no longer be recovered?
Am I missing something here? seems like I have a more technical issue/problem other than common Odin problems.
any help would be appreciated.

Are you using the same .tar everytime?
Try another package and see what happens.
Or... just flash a twrp.tar and just flash a custom Rom on that thing.

are you running Odin as admin?
as long as you can still get into download mode and have odin recognize you, you are in good shape. Dont do something to put yourself in qualcomm download mode. Else, you will be sending your phone to be jtagged. . .
In my guide it mentioned trying different cables and cleaning the usb port.
Have you taken those steps?

I Hard Bricked Galaxy note i7i7
Hello
I was flashing a kernel in order for this jellybam rom to work.So when i put my phone into custom recovery mode and installed the custom kernel through custom recovery a quick message appeared and my phone just shut off. My phone hasn't turned on since and i have no clue to unbrick my phone. I talked to a guy at att and he said that he unbricked his hard bricked phone without a jig or a jtag is that possible?

Sounds like corrupted download. Look for another source and let me know how it goes.

I have a Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 running the Samsung Stock 4.1.2 ROM.
It was rooted and I tried to flash CWM Recovery using Mobile Odinbut as soon as I did that the only thing that now appears when I try to boot the phone is the initial black screen with the "Samsung Galaxy SIII GT-I9300" words.
I cannot get into Recovery mode.
I can get in to download mode but no matter what I try with Odin it sticks at setupconnection. I have used Odin to try and re flash CWM to try and get back into Recovery mode but get stuck at setupconnection.
I have used Odin to try and re flash the stock ROM but again get stuck at setupconnection.
I get this whether I try using Odin on my laptop or my desktop PC
I did wonder if this would happen if my battery charge was low so I plugged the phone in the charger to see what the battery level was when it appeared but the battery will not appear and again I see only the words "Samsung Galaxy SIII GT-I9300" on the black background.
Can anyone suggest a way out of this?
Thanks

Which version of ODIN did you use? What kind of file(s) were you trying to flash?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk
I'm not sure but think it was Mobile Odin 3.65 and I was trying to flash CWM touch from xda.
Additionally, I think my battery charge may now be low after many attempts to recover it but will that matter bearing in mind I'm using Odin on my PC and the phone is connected to the PC by USB cable?
One flash Philz recovery and format system data cache and sd card .
Two check your USB drivers for Odin and make sure Kies is not running .
What do you mean Odin sticks at setup connection ??
If its before flashing its drivers or try another version of Odin .

Kies is not installed on my computer and I have tried Odin versions 1.83, 1.85, 3.04, 3.06, 3.07 and 3.09.
I have also tried 'Samsung_USB_Drivers_1.5.27.0.exe' and 'SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones.exe' and remembering to uninstall then reboot and then install.
On one occasion it got as far as (can't remember the exact words) "Get PIT Mapping" but then just stopped there.
I cannot believe I have done anything other than corrupt the CWM recovery because all I did was try to flash CWM Touch and as soon as I pressed OK the screen went black with the word "Samsung Galaxy SIII GT-I9300". Those words just stay there because since then I can't switch the phone off. I thought that if I just reflashed CWM via Odin on my computer I would be able to get back into recovery mode and just restore my backup.
Appears I am mistaken and have ruined a very new and vey expensive phone.
The only other thing I seem to recall is that before I tried the Mobile Odin flash the battery was below 50% charge but I'm not sure if that's relevant?

Do you mean I'm trying to flash something I shouldn't?
Initially I tried to flash CWM Recovery but then decided just to try and get it back the way it was by trying to flash Android 4.1.2 again.
The file I have been using is "KIES_HOME_I9300XXEMG4_I9300OXAEMG4_1314436_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5" which I believe is from Sammobile and which is, I believe again, the ROM that the Galaxy S3 comes pre-installed with. Do you think it worthwhile me trying some other ROM?
I have been doing a lot more web research and some say that the battery charge should be more than 80%. Does this matter?
Won't the battery have been charging all the while the phone was plugged into into the Computer via the USB lead?
If I buy a separate charger and charge my battery to 100% do you think the Odin reflash will work then?

The end
Okay, I started this thread so will end it now as follows:
1 Thank you to all those who offered help/advice/suggestions.
1a Some people do not read posts properly because even though I had specifically stated that I could not get into recovery mode some people proceeded to tell me to go into recovery mode and restore my rom.
2 Whilst I have recovered the full use of my phone I can no longer root it but that's ok because at least I have a phone that is comparable to the vast majority who choose not to root.
3 I will explain how I rescued it but obviously I don't really understand what the result is other than a usable phone so please don't copy.
4 Whilst I have no doubt one could damage a motherboard, that could only be done with very specialist software that most people would not have so the advice of some that I needed a new motherboard was ill informed. If you don't know the answer don't offer an unhelpful answer. Recommending a new motherboard is like a motorist taking his car into a garage with a blown fuse and the mechanic saying the only cure is a new car.
5 After a lot of research I found one lone website that explained that from July 2013 Samsung introduced a change to their ROMs which introduced an efs 2 file. Additionally it appears that once you have flashed/upgraded to an efs2 ROM you cannot then go back to an efs ROM.
6 This is above my understanding but I do know I did go from efs to efs2 and when I then encountered a problem I thought it a good idea to go back to my original (efs) ROM which I now believe caused my problem.
7 I did not know if I had found the answer but as I believed my phone was a paperweight at that point anyway I had nothing to lose and downloaded the GT-I9300.pit file and flashed with repartition selected. I then flashed Android 4.3 knowing it would be an efs2 ROM and my phone is now working again.
8 However, although my phone is now working again, I find that I cannot install a custom recovery nor can I root the phone but that is a small price to pay to have a brand new S3 working again.
9 Whilst it may not be wise to mess about with the pit file, it seems nothing can be lost to give it a go because even if it doesn't work you can still go for the new motherboard option happy in the knowledge you have tried everything.
10 I may start a new thread for advice on that matter but for the time being I'm just relieved to have my phone back and I stress again that it did work for my specific problem and whilst it might work for you please only do it knowing it may not work for your problem.
Hello,
So I accidently deleted a folder of photos vs the one photo i wanted to. In my attempts to recover the photos i tried to root my Galaxy S4 GT-I9505. I tried to use Odin and I kept getting an error saying my phone was removed during the process. I tried mutiple USB ports which no luck. Now my phone is stuck with "Firmware has encounted an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." So i downloaded Kies which then told me my phone does not support initialization. so i tried Kies 3 which doesnt support my phone model. I am trying to download the firmware from samsung website, but due to where i am stationed the internet isnt the best. Is there anything a super rookie like me can do? would a factory reset solve my issue? Please help me, I need my phone to keep in touch with my family back home.

Hello,
So I accidently deleted a folder of photos vs the one photo i wanted to. In my attempts to recover the photos i tried to root my Galaxy S4 GT-I9505. I tried to use Odin and I kept getting an error saying my phone was removed during the process. I tried mutiple USB ports which no luck. Now my phone is stuck with "Firmware has encounted an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." So i downloaded Kies which then told me my phone does not support initialization. so i tried Kies 3 which doesnt support my phone model.

If you can boot into recovery, a factory reset can't harm. But it might not fix your issues.
Can you still boot your phone into download mode? If yes, then just download the original stock rom from sammobile.com. It's best to choose the version for your country and carrier. Install it with Odin.
If you still want to root, try chain fire autoroot. Again with Odin.

But after flashing stock Rom, I doubt you will be able to recover your photos. So no point in rooting if you don't care about having root.

Yes i can still access download mode..I think i tried using Chainfire with Odin but Rooting is something for another day. I just want to get my phone operational at a minimum. Im currently trying to download firmware from Samsung-update.com or something like that. Is sammobile.com a better site for me to use? I'm at work right now so I am unable to work on the issue at hand but once I get the stock ROM how easy is it to get on to the phone using Odin?

Samsung-updates is just as good.
The firmware you download will probably be a zip file. You should extract it if it's a zip. You should end up with a file with the extension: tar or tar.md5.
You have to boot your phone into download mode.
Start Odin on the pc in administrator mode.
Connect the phone to the pc. Use the original USB cable that came with the phone.
You should see the text: in Odin when you connect the phone.
Put the firmware you downloaded in Odin in PDA or if you're using the latest version, in AP.
Make sure only: "auto reboot" and "f. Reset time" are checked.
Click start and wait until your phone restarts. (10 minutes or more)
You're done.
EDIT: one more thing, make sure Kies isn't running in the background. It might interfere with Odin.

Hello guys
I have a problem with my Galaxy tab 2 10.1 tab (gt-p5100), and i need to help for recovery it..
This is the problem: 3 days ago i was surf on the web, when the tab FREEZED !!!, then I restarted with the key combination Power and Down volume and the tablet was no longer running, remaining stuck on the word Start "Galaxy tab 2 10.1" !!!:crying::crying:
After a while I decided to flash the firmware installed with ODIN 03.04 then I put it in download mode and connect it to the PC, but when I press start remains long on "Setup connection" ... I'm sick and I disconnect the USB cable...response ? it remains fixed on this Image:
I can not do anything else..
then again I try to flash with Odin, and other firmware and combination but I always come out:
<OSM> Enter CS for MD5..
<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..

TheHacker, thabks for reply...as recovery? this is the problem, I can not access any recovery, the tablet remains fixed on that image I press any button, although Odin sees it, and I try to flash recovery or firmware stock but Odin always fails writing and I have tried several versions of Odin...
what can I do ?

Did you try running odin as administrator in Windows? That sometimes helps.

Perhaps an older version of Odin? Have you tried looking for an answer in the correct forum as this is the forum for the old tab 1, not the 2 like yours.
