Unfortunately .pit was your last resort. If that failed, you have a NAND issue (internal memory) which usually means a motherboard replacement is required

Hello,
After rooting my phone I wanted to go to the recovery menu to delete all data on the phone.
So I shut down the phone and used the buttons to go the the recovery menu, when the screen appears it was there for 0,5 seconds and then I saw some text (Don't know what it was). I was not able to do anything so I decided to pull out the battery.
After waiting a while I wanted to turn the phone back on but it didn't do anything.
No led, no screen nothing, no communication with the computer.
Battery was 100% loaded.
How can this happend?
Is there something that I can do?
Thankss

Hi,
I used gs3.wonderhowto.com/how-to/root-your-samsung-galaxy-s3-and-flash-stock-roms-using-odin-for-windows-0142713/
Model I9300.
Thats all I know..
Put your battery in. Plug the usb cable in. If no led comes on at this stage, you need a new motherboard

Nothing to do with this forum why don't you ask the forum that gave you this method that has bricked your phone .
Suggest you flash with Philz recovery from Android Original Development .
That fails then flash your stock rom via Odin and try again .
Basics read first.

Thanks for the information, i'm going to read the threads.
They're not really going to help you now. Your phone exhibits the symptoms of full sds.
Send it for repair if you still have warranty.

Yeah I know but in the future.
Is it by my fault that the phone is broken ?
That I do something wrong or is the software corrupted?

Ultimately its samsungs fault for having faulty firmware on the emmc, but it certainly could have been partially your fault for taking a patched device and flashing it with an unpatched component. Without knowing exactly what you flashed/ recovery version etc its hard to say

When you flash stuff from a forum that has just copied bits and pieces its hard to know what went wrong .
However best response is to tell Samsung that it failed to boot one morning and you have read on the web about the emmc problem .
I have my phone back so now i'm going to try to root it again.
It's kernelversion 3.0.31 - 1314436
I'm going to use the XDA manual and rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2407407
Is this a good kernelversion? Not that my phone will fail again.
Thanks!
// EDIT:
Succesfully rooted / flashed my Phone .
OK something is wrong with my Samsung Galaxy S III SIM and it's not the SIM itself. So I have to return the phone.
I unrooted the device and the status is showing: NORMAL. But... flash counter says: 4 and I'm afraid they won't accept it like this.
Question:
Do I have to root the device again to be able to use Triangle Away OR
is there any way I can reset the flash counter to 0 when unrooted as it now?
Thanks a bunch!
Alex
Yes. You need to re-root.
Read the full fix thread in general > sticky roll-up thread to see how you should reset with triangle away

SUCCESS! NOW BACK TO UNROOT PROCESS...!
Flash Counter doesn't even show up!
May I unroot with Super SU (full unroot option) or should I go back to Odin and install Samsung Rom?
Thanks!

Warranty went poof
Well... after my tiny adventure of turning my phone into a virgin and immaculate device... I went to Vodafone for a repair. They have samsung tech people there. And after two days, they said they would repair the phone for 264 USD because the garanty was voided. Then they handed me a print-screen with the IMEI in the physical device and another with a window saying IMEI: null/null.
I didn't make a fuss about it and left. Later I typed *#06# and to my surprise I saw my complete IMEI. I rooted the phone again.
I have no idea where they saw the null/null but I have the feeling that due to flash roms or some software installation I screwed the original IMEI.
This guy here www.sammobile.com/forum/showthread.php?t=13140 seems to have solved the issue... problem is I have no EFS backup, and in the EFS folder I have no " .nv_data" file. Only ".nv_data.bak". I copied this file to ",nv_data." and rebooted but to no avail.
So to sum it up... I no longer suspect that it's physical problem related to the sim socket but it's a firmware issue due to software installation, which one I don't have a clue. I only run CF-Root to root and I only applied the ROMs presented in samMobile.
I must have the EFS corrupted in some way. Gah.
Thank you for your atention.

Its fine I have managed to fix its thanks anyway
Anyone here has done it? What do I need?
I've still a year left in my contract and want to sim unlock the phone to give it to a family member who is on another carrier.
Does the unlock stay if you install different ROMS, restore to factory reset and all?
Thanks.
It depends if your rom is mg4 (July) or newer then there are no free ways to unlock

Just checked and it's MG4.
I can't sim unlock?
I don't have the S3 anymore, but you could try flashing and older firmware using Odin and then use this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spocky.galaxsimunlock&hl=en, if not available in your country, try the one by SuperCurio: http://project-voodoo.org/android-apps

the only option is to purchase an unlock code. Make sure you buy one that offers refund if fail

I see, I always remember to backup my EFS folder with Samsung phones. I don't like what Samsung been doing with all these locking.
What do you mean purchase an unlock code? Haven't heard of that before.
Where can I get one?

What? You've been able to buy an unlock code from the carrier or websites since the beginning of time. Every locked mobile phone in the world supports this

Great. Will search on the web for websites that sell them and then call my carrier.
So that's the only way for me to sim unlock?
Will it work if I update the phone to 4.3 (the leak firmware or the official one when it's released)?
Thanks.

Found a website called doctorsim. Seems reliable from comments and all. Just sent them an email.
I hope they can sim unlock phones which are still under contract.

Hey guys I have a question. I if I roll back to android 4.1.1 and unlock the sim for free can I put back the 4.1.2 or later androids and the sim will stay unlocked ?
Depends. If you've ever flashed mg4 or newer - no.
