Hii,
I have a problem. I cycled to the gym this morning and I was listening music on my Galaxy S3, Ii took the headphones out, put phone in my bag. 10min. later I looked at my phone and there was a strange message with something about the firmware, don't know what exactly. I couldn't do anything else than shut the phone down, now every time I try to start my phone normaly or in recovery the comes a wierd pattern of colors, most of it is white with some other pixels(look at the attached file), I don't know what it could be.. I think it's maybe something with the screen..
Hope someone can help me..

Try starting the phone in download mode (volume down+home then power). If it gives the same screen then looks like to need a repair center, you could try a USB jig but that screen pattern looks fatal to me.
If it boots to download mode then follow the guide in general, stickies on how to use Odin on your PC to flash a stock ROM.

Hehe, thanks, I totaly forget the download mode, only tried the recovery mode.. It boots and now I try to fix the custom rom or load the clockwork backup.
Well I tried to flash stock rom for the galaxy s3 with odin, but I don´t work. This is what Odin says±

I never checked partition or something. If the phone is in download mode the product name is empty so: Product name: ..........
I allready chearched for PIT files but don't find one..

It looks like all of your partitions have been deleted... i think you
need to re-partition. so search the threads on how to repartition. search for the required pit file...

The PIT-File is not for every S3 the same, right? I need one for the Europe version, so the normal S3 bought in EU but can't find one.
if yours one is of 16gb model than download the GT-I9300_mx_20120220.pit.zip file from the attachment, extract it an you will get GT-I9300_mx_20120220.pit. For re-partitioning the Galaxy S3 download the pit file from below link and in odin select the re-partition option choosse the .pit file and also your PDA file... and start re-partitioning. hope this works for you.
Note: The above file is only for 16Gb version dont use it if its 32GB or 64GB..
Keep in mind the below things:
GT-I9300_mx_20120220.pit = Galaxy S3 of 16 Gb
GT-I9300_mx_20120322.pit = Galaxy S3 of 32 Gb
GT-I9300_mx_20120329.pit = Galaxy S3 of 64 Gb
Well, big thanks. It was the 16gb version, but I've tried it but it won't work...
Don't know why but Odin gives me this fail, tried it serveral times...

Could it be that my battery is not 70-90%?
I think my phone charges but when plug it in, the same screen appears.
You said that the product name is blank? Then sorry it's an SDS for sure. Send it to Samsung for repair as there's nothing you can do about it.

well battery charge is not a problem because i have even flashed a custom rom when my battery charge was 20%. It would be better if the complete firmware file could be found ( with .pit, .tar.md5). it would be better if you send it to Samsung..
I don't think we can do more than this...
Ok, last try please try using this pit file
be warned PIT file may damage your phone and is always a last resort .

But the warranty was already void after root and custom theme. I will try the other pitfile and give report.
But if I send my phone to Samsung what could they do? I don't think they give me a new phone..

The phone is dead like what I told you earlier. If your S3 is on download mode and you see that the product name is blank that means that the eMMC partition is dead. No amount of PIT files can revive your phone. So if you're gonna give it to Samsung just tell them that you got the SDS. If you're out of the warranty period then you'll probably pay for the repair service.
Your situation is exactly the same as this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2451728

Thanks, I will visit a walk-in Samsung service center tomorrow. In any case, thank you very much for the offered help . Still things I need to do / not say to the service desk, or it is enough to say that it is an SDS?

Things not to say:
1. That you flash a PIT file.
2. You installed a custom rom.
Things to say:
1. Your device had an SDS.
2. Still SDS.
3. Yep. You got it. Still say SDS.
Kidding aside I won't guarantee that they'll buy your alibi since I've haven't visited their service centers for repairs yet (and I hope I won't... ever lol). But most of the service technicians there should know what an SDS is.
SDS is Sudden Death Syndrome if you don't know what that means.

Yes, its enough to tell SDS. you don't need to tell anything like it was rooted, custom rom was used. If it was in warranty period was not over tha nyou can claim them by just telling SDS, since there is no partition, neither the product name. So don't tell them anything about all this, you might be serviced for free.. if the warranty is over you have to pay for the repair service.
Samsung's LIMITED warranty is 24 months from dop.

Hi all.
I'm in a big trouble, and in need of some great help.
I was on odin trying to install latest ICS with bootloader and re-partition and pit, and all the other files.
The process stuck at "set partition", and at:
...
<OSM> Checking MD5 finished Sucessfully..
<OSM> Leave CS..
<ID:0/003> Odin v.3 engine (ID:3)..
<ID:0/003> File analysis..

<ID:0/003> Initialzation..
<ID:0/003> Set PIT file..
<ID:0/003> DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!!
The process went on at this for over an hour and odin was doing nothing so, after reading around that stopping it unplugging usb would not represent a problem, I did it.
Well, the phone is dead.
No download mode, no workaround removing battery, and also no fortune using JIG USB.
I've tried to search here and around, nothing I found helped.
Don't thing is a hardware related problem, because prior to the "odin step" everything was working.
So I guess it's a hard brick, still not related to a hardware issue.
Any help is deeply appreciated.
Dead phone probably due to the big no no of repartitioning .
If you cannot access the phone download recovery or via USB jig then its a service centre job .
Paid for probably as non official roms void warranty but thats down to the repairer to spot or not .
Other possible route is JTAG machine as posted on XDA .
jje
why did you choosed re-partition??
Judged by the latest ICS release and the lemming like noobs rushing to install their are going to be a few more bricks in the wall .

You're right: I experienced some random restart in the last days, and in a guide I found from another site re-partition was suggested so ..... my fault!

Well, I've waited till today to switch to ICS, and tried to settle all the things well done.
Also coming from SGS 1, I used odin so many times before I would say I'm not a noob.
But in the end, you both are right, have to realize I've been "noobish" enough to have to go to a service center.
Think tomorrow I'll search
Hi all,
My GS3 (International version) is on a constant boot loop. I was browsing the internet and then it crashed into a loop, The phone was getting on my nerves abit as i was constantly having to reboot just to use it...but this time it crashed on me for good (Yes it was rooted on firmware 4.1.1)
I managed to get into CWM and wipe all data, then get into Download mode and flash a stock rom via ODIN.
All seemed to be going well, ODIN said PASSED and the phone rebooted.
Then i got the little green android robot with the blue spinning box in the middle of him/her....Boots back to initial start up screen, then little green android, then intitial start up etc etc etc....Never leaves these screens.
I cannot enter recovery nor can i enter download mode. There is nothing i can do to stop this.
I have tried repeatadly taking out the battery and puttin back in but no results.
Any tips?
Thanks in advance
From a very stressed out GS3 owner
After much playing around i managed to get back into DOWNLOAD mode...Unfortunatly no matter which STOCK rom i put on i can never get past the initial loading screen where it states my Phone device name/brand etc. Someimes i get to the little android with the spinning blue square in its belly...But then it loops again.
Ive tried about 6 different fimwares now, all stock.
Ive managed to put CWN on them too and done the whole WIPE DATA/DELVIK cache...but nothing changes!
Help please
I am in a right pickle now, Any help would be really really really appreciated. Feel gutted!

This is the troublesome part..in your flashing frenzy you have somehow corrupted the partition layout...now try flashing the 3 part method..search for it..you will need to use mx.pit to repartition you flash memory..tread cautiously and do only what you understand..
Why do people use Odin??????? Still escapes me

I cant use tha app as im stuck on a boot loop, i can only access Download mode. I have a GS3 GT-I9300 International version UK. Just took it to the store i bought it at and theres nothing they can help me with other than telling me to contact samsung.
I have tried nurmerous files via ODIN, even PIT files but i get no results. ODIN just says FAIL.
When i enter DOWNLOAD mode on my GS3..prior to pressing volum up i have a small yellow triangle, but it still allows me to go on. Prior to Download mode i can only get as far as the initial boot screen.

OK what ssn is listed under the battery .
Its pointless proceeding until the model is confirmed as your symptoms are identical to flashing wrong firmware .

Hi, I have exactly the same problem. I sent my phone to freesamsungrepairs and they refuse to fix my device under warranty since it has been rooted. Can they really tell that it has been rooted or do they base their assumption solely on the "custom" field in Download mode? I shipped the phone without sd card or anything that would tell them the phone is rooted. Can they still tell? Can they maybe read somehow the partially wiped emmc and find traces of superuser and such?
Thak you for your 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.
i have downloaded Odin v1.85 and v3.07
i have downloaded the latest OS Jellybean from samsung:
(KIES_HOME_I717UCMD3_I717ATTMD3_1117019_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5)
i have downloaded the latest USB software and currently using the original cable that came in the box.
I open Odin v1.85 on my Windows 7 Ultimate Desktop
i put my phone in Odin download mode (power + volume down)
I pressed volume up
I plugged in my phone to the USB
I clicked start

okay thank you i am reading it now.
i will report back with the outcome.
thanks once again.
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.

If another stock package doesn't work here's Twrp

Then you put a custom Rom of your choice I your sdcard and flash that within recovery.

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.

Hello,
Newbie here... I have followed this forum for three days trying to get my Note II Verizon to boot any ROM. I am only able to get it into Odin Download mode (never been able to get the System Restore Menu). Not sure what this device was originally flashed with but I can't get any bootrom to install.
I have tried the first steps and download the files poseted on this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2043636 and get the folllowing failure:

The only successful Rom I have partial success with is: KIES_HOME_I605VRAMC3_I605VZWAMC3_1098177_REV04_user_low_ship.tar.
Odin 3.185 will install this ROM successfully with the PIT. Not the phone will not boot and flashes the Galaxy Note II then turns off. It will only allow me to go back into Bootloader Mode but has never allowed me to get into recovery and wipe the phone. Boot Load screen shows everything stock except the "SYSTEM STATUS: Custom". Since I do not know what ROM was originally installed I am stuck on this one and insight would greatly appreciated. I have also tried other Odin versions including 3.07.
Thank you!

Think your version of Odin is too old. try this
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BwO2K6_pgq39ejFubU43Nkprb2c/edit
See if 307 works better for you.

Thank you for the reply. I made a typo and have tried Odin 3.185 and 3.07. Can't seem to get any of them to work. I have contacted Samsung and my phone is under warranty but would like to get the "CUSTOM" off the SYSTEM STATUS to avoid issues with the warranty.

Hello,
Can can anyone share what the Out of Warranty costs are if the Verizon Note II is sent in with a Custom Rom and Samsung doesn't honor the warranty?

You will be charged the full price of the device. Just keep trying to fix the issue. There has to be something you aren't doing right. As long as you can get into the boot loader you are in okay shape. Just go back through the instructions and follow them as closely as you possibly can.

In my experience no matter how far gone you think your device is, if you can get into download mode and Odin recognizes it you are OK. I am sure there are circumstances where you can't recover even if you are in that position, but I have never heard of any. Agree with miketoasty, read the instructions carefully and then read them again. Be sure you have the correct files and a decently charged battery. And make sure your USB cable is good.

I have been in the IT business for nearly 25 years and have seen many problems resolved if you have the time and desire to put forth the efforts to investigate the problem every day with a clear head. With that being said I for some unknown ADD moment and decided I wanted to troubleshoot my sons girlfriend's Note II that was having problems. Now here I am wrestling with a problem like a drug addict looking for their "next fix". I am very stubborn and extremely capable of diagnosing hardware and software problems but this one truly has me stumped!
With this being a problem I decided to purchase another Note II off EBay to experiment with and was listed with similar problems, Red Light and wouldn't boot.. I figured for $125 the worst that could happen is I could disassemble it and part out the LCD/Digitizer and recuperate my investment. There are some problems I like researching and resolving and this is one. I personally believe the problems on both Note II's may both related to the charging board based on the information on the following post on another forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=45678812#post45678812. I will elaborate a little more shortly.
Let's go over my three day 50 hour marathon. Here is the only download that successfully downloads but the phone will only splash the "GALAXY NOTE II" screen and turn off after a successful install. I have downloaded Odin 3.185 and 3.07 and get the same results:
sch-i605-16gb.pit
KIES_HOME_I605VRAMC3_I605VZWAMC3_1098177_REV04_user_low_ship.tar.md5
Unless the problem resides on my laptop I think I have eliminated the issue of having a good cable(s) by using official Samsung cables, NEW RocketFish cables and they all seem to work fine for viewing and transferring files via USB. I also have an external battery charger and can guarantee an excellent charge on the battery(s). The current files I was recommended to use came from a single Zipped file: GalaxyNote2UnlockVerizon. Please let me know if there are a different set of files I should be using?
Unless I have downloaded the wrong files? I have attempted to install the following bootloader with Odin versions 3.07, 3.13 and 3.185 and they all fail: BootloaderBaseline2.tar.md5. All I know at this moment i am stuck at a point that I have the Note II in a state that will not allow me to boot.
Lets discuss some hardware issues that I need to explore a little further. Since I have a spare phone to test with I thought I would swap logic/motherboards and see if I had any different results. Unfortunately they are exactly the same on both Note II's. Now comes an interesting issue I stumbled upon. When I VERY CAREFULLY reassembled it on an ESD Mat I somehow dislodged or did not securely fasten the display cable to the logic board and when the power was pressed the phone seemed to start booting but there was no display. The sound and the blue light came on normally. I had hoped the original ROM was now installing. I powered off the phone, removed the battery and disassembled it to discover my mishap, so I reconnected the display cable and reassembled the phone only to see the original problem was still present.
Has anyone else had a charging port issue that caused similar problems? I was planning on ordering a new charging port off Amazon today just to try. Any additional information would be greatly appreciated.
Thank all of you that contribute to this site. It is amazing how many problems can be resolved when great minds are put together.
The red light and wont boot indicates a hard brick...more then likely the device had something flashed to it that corrupted the emmc. Moral of the story...its now a paper weight.
No Red Light

It doesn't have a red light. I can get it into the download mode and it will allow the ROM update through Odin but it will only splash the "GALAXY NOTE II" screen and power off.

look for a n7100 tar, or maybe "I think, can't remember" there was a stock tar in the I605 mega roll thread somewhere. flash one of them. Try not to use the kies tar as i've had problems with them being corrupted before. Know you've tried both the methods already. Just a suggestion in case you have not. Also check and make sure you have the right pda file.
