Help! GT-I9300 stuck at loading screen - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi.
As the title says, my GT-I9300 (SSN I9300GSMH) is stuck at loading screen. This occured sometime while it was charging. I looked into this problem on the forums and tyed out the following:
1. Soft reseting doesn't seem to do anything.
2. Unable to do a hard reset, as the Volume-up+Home+Power doesn't work.
I am only able to get into download mode so I can reinstall stock ROM. So my question is, where do I find the stock ROM (I9300GSMH). Can't find it anywhere, and some of the suggested download locations seem to be down.
What can I do? Im a big noob in all of this, so any kind of help would be appreciated.
Ty in advance.

OK. I went to sammobile.com and found the specified firmware and the XXEMH1 is listed as Country/Carrier Austria and Nederlands. Does this affect the flashing at all? Can I download any ROM or do I need a specific one for my SSN exactly?
When u say "download the latest firmware from my carrier", what do u mean? How do I do this?
Sry for the noob questions :/

In download mode odin mode what does it say for product code ??
For your carrier .
That means your network >> either update via Kies or find it on sammobile or visit your networks service centre.

I read the SDS thread and Im sure that is my problem.
This to be exact:
"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.
One problem Half SDS has is that the information download mode uses to show the status as "Official" appears to be wiped out by the bug, leaving your status as "Custom". This can leave you in a precarious position as this is what Samsung uses to establish warranty validity. You may also see your product field is blank."
My product field is blank and my status is custom. I cant boot into recovery and it fails on the boot screen leaving it on the samsung logo and staying like that.

My product field is blank and my status is custom. I cant boot into recovery and it fails on the boot screen leaving it on the samsung logo and staying like that.
You require a service centre repair .
Samsung may or may not reject as warranty .

Samsung Galaxy S2 Stuck on boot screem

hey guys!
So I have had my phone for about 3 month, and today I had decided that I should see if they're any firmware updates since I had not checked in a while. So I did a search in my settings and it said I need to update so I did so. So it downloaded and it seemed to install but when it went to reboot, it just stayed on the boot screen.
I went into recover mode and set it back to factory settings, but still had no luck. Any ideas what to do as plan b?
Give it a few minutes (5-10 Mins) for the first time after updating... It may seem locked up but usually its not the case... After the first boot.. It will boot normally again....
If truly not working suggest downloading latest firmware package for your model and try flashing via odin
hope that helps^^

Help out...Samsung galaxy can't boot
Hello Guys,
I am not sure whether I am putting right question in the right place or not? I hope you guys don't mind and apologize me as my mind not working due to my foolish act trying to fly even without wings.....
Here is the story
I got my galaxy s2 I9100 a week ago. I tried to go for root. for this I did it using Odin v1.85. My firmware KH5 as its not available here I tried a related one say KH4. I followed all instructions carefully. Successfully brought in download mode. selected the download mode. connected with odin and browse the PDA .tar file. my mobile was recognized by yellow indicating and I starting. It showed the process running and also showed yellow bar turning in green saying "Pass". But soon mobile stucked at boot page and a yellow triangle appeared. Now I realized I made something wrong in eager of rooting. I tried other .tar files like KH1, KH3 and even KF- etc. But same problem. I tried to solve it by bringing recovery mode but It can't go to recover mode even. Now I can only go to download mode can try flashing via odin but can't get my mobile ahead of boot logo. Please helppppppppppppppppppppppppppp
@ habeebrasheed,
Flash stock firmware from Intratech thread via Odin with phone in download mode.
Then you will have a working phone and can start fresh.

Thank you for the suggestion

Thankssssssssssssssssssss

[Q] My GS2 does not work

I would like help from forum members.
After doing a root using the original firmware version, available here in the forum, my GS2 stopped working.
The device connects, the splash comes from Samsung (the one where the yellow triangle appears), but after that the screen goes black and nothing appears. Imagine turning on your PC but not booting in windows!
I can access the download mode and recovery mode. But nothing I do solves. I've tried putting other firmware versions but not resolved.
The Odin recognizes the device, the Kies not.
Another problem is that I do not know what was the original version of the firmware, but I know that the device was a French version, if that helps.

I tried that. It did not work. I used the XWKK2, XXKI4, and XWKI4 XWKK5. None of them worked. I can flash them as I explained in the first post, but does not work.
Service centre is your next step .

Did you try booting to recovery and clearing data / cache ?
Yes,I tried.
I would try to install a custom rom for CWM, but can not access the sdcard to copy the files.

Well if you can't get it to work in any known way and you dont want to spend money to get it fixed , I'd say soft-brick it by enabling repartition in Odin and get a jig , then try again. You only lose 3-5$ that way. Don't get me wrong , it's the last thing you should try. What you probably should do is to take it to service.
I bought the usb jig must be delivered within 7 days.
But the jig is used to enter the download mode and reset the counter, right?
I can enter the download mode and recovery mode, I can even install any firmware version (official/CF). But none of that worked.
I believe it is with some corrupted file that is not connected to the firmware.
Or not!

Never tick repartition. You won't be able to bring it back that way. You can try soft bricking by unplugging the phone while flashing wih Odin but i still don't recommend it if you aren't able to boot even after flashing multiple roms. Service center would be your best bet

Lack of information what ICS what phone what method what firmware source .
Try taking battery out a short while .
That fails its a JTag paid for repair though it would be worth buying a USB recovery jig to see if you can get to download mode first .
Other route is service centre if it a legitimate failed KIES update .

Thanks. Sorry for not providing much information. Since im a still a new user, the website doesn't allow me to link pictures. This phone is my friend's. I did not check which firmware he was on. Probably 2.3.6 and the firmware I was going to flash is I9100XWLP7. When flashing it, Odin popped up a FAIL word so i take off the cable and reboot the phone by taking out the battery. Now the phone is in this condition~
"mediafire.com/convkey/d387/7slnddfxb3iai1b6g.jpg" add 3 W and a dot in front
That's forced download mode. Look under the battery for the correct model number and flash an appropriate ROM.
I fail to realise that this phone was different than the others. My bad. If how do i recover it then? Does this model has ICS?

Read, re-read. Everything you need is there.
Considering you don't say what the model actually is, how should I know if it has ICS?
So all that I have to do is flash a 2.3.6 STOCK ROM that is Appropriate to the I9100G. So in this mode, ODIN is still able to flash ROM right?
If you have an I9100G, yes, and it's already in download mode.

GT-I9300 Boot Loop after numerous try! HELP!

Hello.
Currently I have Samsung GT-I9300 (international edition ) that I bought from UAE. But I am already in Indonesia right now.
My s3 is currently at boot loop.
After digging around in the forum, I found a number of things to try.
Here is the list of things I have done:
1. I tried flashing stock rom using odin pc. The stock I used is the newest ( I9300XXEMC3_I9300NEEEMC1_NEE). Result from ODIN: Succeed. But the boot loop is still looping!!
2.Then I tried flashing cmw recovery because I can't get into recovery at all. After flashing, there's red exclamation mark on upper left corner with the Samsung logo. And still cannot get into recovery using the combo (vol up+home+power) button, it wouldnt go into recovery at all and keep showing me the samsung logo.
3.Next I tried flashing the rescue firmware in i9000 post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40509099#post40509099). I used the XXELLA. Flashed the pit, csc, pda and bootloader. The boot loop still persist.
4.The last thing I did is bring it to Samsung service center. They tried flashing their current (Indonesian) stock rom but the problem also persists. They advised that I need to change the mainboard in UAE where the phone is originally from. They said because after changing mainboard , they need to re inject IMEI. And can only do that in original country. And they informed me the flash also succeed thru odin, it's just the boot loop is still looping...
In download mode the product name still presents. (I read a post in this forum saying if the product name still persists then the mainboard is not fried (is the information correct?)
And all flashing thru odin give me succeed message.This indicates my mainboard is still safe.
My problem now is I cannot get into reocvery and the boot loop persists.
I believe that my problem would be not being able to wipe data /cache as I can't get into recovery mode.
So my question is can I wipe data and cache using odin ? If yes, coudd anyone tell me how?
Also, please advise me on what else to try on my S3.
I am really desperate and out of ideas.
Your help would be greatly appreciated !
Thank you.

I'm not sure if this helps, but I have two points:
the red exclamation mark is usual after flashing non-Samsung images.
If you check "Re-Partition" in Odin, the data should be wiped.
DISCLAIMER: No guaranty! Your're using Odin at your own risk
If you have wiped data it old be damaged NAND flashing stock and a data wipe should fix any software problems.

One flash stock rom = failed .
Two Recovery = failed

Nand is most likely fried...however if not, try flashing with repartition and pit, you cannot loose much if your phone doesnt work anyways. BTW, on which firmware/kernel dis this occur?
