Namashkaar Everybody,
I had a rooted S2 GT-I9100G with Stock 4.0.3, I9100GXXLPQ, I9100GODDLP7 on it.
Today I tried to upgrade it to Stock 4.0.4, I9100GXXLPZ, I9100GODDLP9 through Mobile Odin Pro.
I did what I normally do with options ticked and wipe data & cache and wipe Dalvik cache.
After phone rebooted , its stuck on First screen of "Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-I9100G" screen.
Its not going into download mode neither its restarting nor I could find a solution anywhere else.
Its my father's phone and is out of warranty.
What should I do?
I start this thread in hope that you all might be able to help me.
Thanking you in anticipation

Thanks for replying, If I could I would have, since i couldnt that is the reason I posted on XDA to find out the alternate solution.
To flash through PC Odin I have to be in download mode, as mentioned clearly , I am unable to get into download mode.
So, now if you know how to flash through PC Odin without getting into DOwnload Mode, please do let me know .
Thanks again.

For now ... Try to take out the Battery
And see if you could get into Recovery .
If you could get into Recovery .. WipeData and Cache manually and try to reboot again ..
See if this helped .

use a usb jig ?
Reported...3 such threads already...
Ok...are you sure about can't go into download mode? Press volume down, home and power button simultaneously... do not let go...keep on pressing until the phone lights up...if not, try volume up, home and power...you should get into recovery mode...if you are able to, just factory reset and try again...

Turned it on after 15 mins 1.) Vol up+home+power 2.) Vol Down+home+power ...... nothing neither getting into recovery mode nor getting into download mode.
And no I dont have jig. Thans for suggestion though.

If I am not supposed to start a thread, then what should I do ? The reason I started the thread 'cause the FIrmware and version of operating both were new and were not be found by me in the forum.
Please guide me so I know and can educate others too.

Duh...in the Q&A section...I have already gave you some advice... tried it?
Ok...seems that you got a hard brick...the only way is to get a usb jig or a jtag unit...but try a jig first...it is easy...I even made one myself...

If you have a jig you might be able to bring it back to life and get in downloadmode and retry flashing a stock rom again. Pull the battery for a minute, reinsert it and use a jig. If you don`t have one try to buy one. Good luck
factory reset is your only way
yes a reply!

Yea, I'm in the states. I have the International version. I'm having th eexact same issue as you my man, even with the CWM not doing a Wipe. There has got to be a fix. I Know if I can get ODIN to stop failing then we can flash, but it's not working. I'm about to give up. Been calling everyone with Google voice on my computer.

It's only 2pm here in Cali, I'll be trying all night. Plan b is to send it into Mobiletechvideos, they do international shipping too, 5 star rating. But in the mean time, I'm going to do some ODIN trouble shooting, maybe try the Mac OSX alternative, Heimdall, and see if I can get it to connect.

That's three of uss folks
I relate to you guys for that's exactly the same problem I'm going through. After successfully updated to the Jelly Bean 4.1.2 UK BTU international version and beautifully restored all my apps via Titanium backup I then proceeded to restore as well my EFS folder through a program named kTool, ignoring its warning message cuz I was just following a tutorial put out on a S3 Brazilian forum believing there was no danger at all.
Well, to my sadness and despair it returned on a bootlooping mode, if you will, and I did everything firstly tried to recover then wiped cache, dalvik, data, formatted the whole stuff and finally installed again via odin in download mode the same jelly bean 4.1.2 all to no avail
Now I got the bootlooping and when I press volume up + power + home I get a screen with a seemingly dead robot with a exclamation sign in its chest. Please what do I do in order to fully recover my S3?? this situation is killing me.

hey mate try the youtube link, almost worked for me it actually flashed after continously getting nand write fail, however after i flashed factory reseted and got the same error, still trying to find a way round, i suggest avoiding factory reset and reboot straight away after trying that flash on the youtube link, let me know how u get on
I've already watched the YT vid.

Dude, I've watched that vid but haven't tried that procedure so far, matter of fact I will do that however flashing an earlier version of the ROM, perhaps JB 4.1.1 or 4.0.4 or yet the current one from another country since the UK BTU version I downloaded was somehow corrupted. Anyhow thanks for the heads up to avoid factory reset and reboot it instead, hopefully I'm going to manage to get the CWM recovery screen cuz now I get only this:
Android system recovey <S3>
Volume up/down to move to highlight:
power button to select.
Reboot system now
apply update from ADB
Apply update fom external storage
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
apply update from cache
Right below it appears, along with the fallen/dead robot, the folowing message:
# MANUAL MODE #
Applying Multi-CSC....
Applied the CSC-code: ZTO
Succesfully applied multi-CSC.

Hi Everyone,
This is my story:
I woke up today to my phone being off. Thinking it was battery, I got my spare and replaced it. Turned on the phone and saw the:
"Samsung
Galaxy S III
GT-I9300"
This logo kept on appearing, then disappearing; appearing then disappearing. It is still doing that and I can not get past it. I have tried clearing Dalvik Cache (yes I can access recovery mode). I have tried using Odin to flash stock firmware to it (it showed a "PASS"), and still nothing works. I am at the end of my wits with this phone. Based on what I know, my options are:
1) Wipe/Reset Factory data
2) Take it to a repair shop bcz of a hardware malfunction (no warranty)
3) Throw it in the bin
Any other options that might get me into the phone to get my information?
Just so you guys know, this phone was rooted a couple months back. The only reason I rooted it was to use Titanium Backup. Needless to say, I wasn't messing around with it when this happened. Please advise!
Use Google or search on XDA next time!
Looks to me like you have SDS!

factory reset should've been the first thing you did after the cache. that's your solution. it's not sudden death, just do a factory reset

Can you enter recovery? Or it's just DL mode?
I can enter recovery and DL mode. For the record, I just did a wipe data factory reset and it's still doing the same thing. Any suggestions now?
If you can get into download mode then try flashing stock Rom with Odin, if it doesn't boot up, go to recovery and do factory reset.....

Hello guys.
Unfortunately my galaxy s3 cannot turn on. My phone started to freeze all the time and I got a message when i turned on that i have to wipe data because my cell phone can become unstable. Below the message it was a key which said "I am feeling lucky" :/ I tried to boot to recovery with the standard way of Home + volume + power and Android logo came on the screen like the way when I updated the firmware. When it stuck after 10 mins I turned it off and now the only thing I can see is a white screen with grey lines. nothing more nothing less.
I cannot do anything via toolkit because it cannot find the mobile...
Please help!!!!!!

Wow "i am feelin lucky" hackers are getting a sense of humor...
U shouldve understood immediatly it was a virus...if it cant find something its probably cause the virus flashed stuff on your phone. Try searching the internet for this sort of phone infection youre likely to find the "fix" immediatly..
