Hi, im a noob user about roms and root, and 1 week ago i had a problem flashing roms, i flashed shostock3 with rom manager (i didnt know that i could be dangerous in my phone) after flashing shostock i decided to flash a kernel, but when i tried to reboot recovery mode in rom manager the phone turned off, and when i try to turn it on stops in "samsung galaxy s2" logo, the good news is i can acess download mode.
Does anyone know how to solve this problem?
Thanks.

I'm not sure what rom manager does to the memory, but I think the phone can be recovered.
Please delete rom manager from your I777 and never use it on this phone, as it is not compatible.
Try the following sequence to see if this will clear the problem:
Odin3 v1.85 is recommended.
Steps 1 & 2 in sequence without rebooting if possible.
1) Download the Tar version of Siyah 2.6.14 Kernel. Flash it in PDA. Without ticking Re-Partitioning.
2) Flash the Tar.md5 of the full stock Gingerbread distribution from the Download Repository, I777UCKH7 including the bootloaders and everything, in the PDA slot.
You may need to enter recovery and perform a wipe data/factory reset, either before, during or after these two steps.
3) If that is successful you are done. If it is not, then:
4) Download the SBL Bootloader from the Download Repository. Flash it as PDA in ODIN, without ticking Re-Partitioning. (Please observe normal bootloader flashing caution.)
5) Flash the Kernel, as in step 1.
6) Flash the full stock Gingerbread distribution, as in step 2.

Thanks mate im gonna try it, but how do i get recovery mode, i tried to do it but it didn't work, i tried this:
Press volume+ and volume- at the same time 5 seconds and later press power button, i always get to the download mode.
OK guys, i have not solved my problem but i could investigate something thanks to my friend's i777 phone, and this is:
I noticed he had Rom manager, and he said he uses it lot of times and his phone have not gotten a problem, so i tried the rom magager recovery mode (what i tried and f***** my phone), the phone worked great and did not have any problem, after trying lot of things i decided to use the NQ antivirus, and it detected the rom manager as a virus and dangerous app i had to uninstall, actually just tried it in a i777 phone, tomorow i'll try on a different phone to see if this is normal.
Im gonna keep investigating about what rom manager does after solving my problem.

No matter what i do, Odin is still failing, so i havent been able to do anything, well the stock GB from the download repository got stuck in setupconnection, i dont know what to do, i don want to pay for fixing my phone.
Practically every post in this thread from people trying to help you are the answers you need. Your instance on continuing to use Rom Manager on this phone, even after you've been warned about it, AND there's been a sticky regarding the dangers for nearly 2 years, are simply incredible!
If you can't get Odin to work (something as simple as trying the USB port in the back of the computer may work), your only option is to pay someone to fix it for you.
And by the way, entering recovery for the i777 is all three buttons at the same time, then releasing them once the boot logo appears.

You need to try a different known good usb cable, or different ports on the computer, or even a different computer to see if you can get Odin to complete. If you are absolutely sure that the reason Odin does not complete is not due to the above, then you may have a firmware problem that is beyond my ability to help you, or you may have some kind of hardware issue.
If it were my phone, I would probably send it to Mobile Tech Videos, since they are reliable and very good, but if you are not willing to spend money, then I don't have anything else to suggest.
Edit: It occurred to me that you may not have followed the full sequence. Did you get to step 4, and if not you need to try to flash the sbl.tar by itself in the pda slot and then go back to step 1.
I have been there...
This has happened to me a couple of times. You can either do a complete flash of a stock rom and go from there, OR, you can flash a recovery kernel. There is an old Sylah image floating around. You can flash this with the Odin tool. I believe Odin 3.07 worked best for me.

Noted, After opening the box ,the client wanted latest whatsapp plus a new dialup pad app.After that handset hung and rebooted in samsung i9300 only.Download mode ok but same error.
I find it really helpful of you all to just yell at someone who is trying to find an answer. I have the same problem, and I am not inexperienced with flashing phones. The question still remains: Can there be something done via Odin or adb or whatever or is it a case for repair.
I would really, really appreciate to get some useful answers. I can **** myself I don't need others to do this.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: I have found a solution thanks to a very helpful friend who found the relevant post here on xda (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27995287&postcount=16). You need to flash a 3-file stock rom via Odin v3.0.4 with mx.pit-file and repartition ticked. This worked for me and I very much hope that it also works for everyone else.
With all the pit files, i m getting there is no pit file.I m still looking for 3 files firmware.
Can someone post me a link for a 3 files pda phone and csc for S3.All the files i ve found are single file.
Thanks
The only 3 part files and pit for the Samsung range have in the past been posted on Sammobile.com .You will have to look and see if they post such for SGS3 . Never seen them on XDA and 3 part files posted on XDA have in the past been from sammobile .

Go to recovery and then mounts and storage.
Format system, data and cache. Also do a factory wipe on the first cwm page.
After that pull battery wait 5 seconds abs reinsert it.
Hold power home and vol down to go to download mode. Then press the up arrow.
Then plug it in to computer. In odin select pda csc and modem or if it's a one file firmware just select it in pda. Do not tick repart or select a pit file.
Then hit start.

OMG this actually worked...
So here is what i did...step by step...
1. Uninstalled Kies but did keep the USB drivers..
2. Made a Nandroid backup in CWM and followed Drew071's instruction and removed the ext_sd card...i actually did that before but without the pull battery step...
3. Used Odin 3.07 with only auto reboot and f. time reset ticked and loaded the stock rom that i took from sammobile in PDA...
5. Flashed as usual O_O....
I really don't know what it was but it scared the s..t out of me ^^
I'll try to root the stock FW now with the usual odin method and let you know if it works...thx all for your support
EDIT: Ok so i used CF-Auto-Root-m0-m0xx-gti9300 with Odin v3.07....all went well and i'm a happy root user again ^^
Hello i have recently installed ClockWorkRecovery and Rooted my phone. I followed this tutioral HERE Which seems to had have worked fine. I Checked that i had SuperUser and that it was working fine, which it was.
I then downloaded a Custom ROM, Automblast ROM (HERE)
I followed the steps provided
MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP
Download the firmware from the link given below.
Put it to the root of your sdcard.
Reboot to CWM Recovery.
Select Wipe data/Factory reset.(optional)
Select Wipe Cache.
Select Install zip from sd card.
Choose the ROM zip file.
After the installation completes choose reboot.
Upon reboot my phone displayed the GT-S7500 spalsh screen, then it loaded my VirginMobile splash screen with the noise, and then started again.
Ever since this i have not been able to get the phone to boot.
I tried to use my backup i had made in step 1, but it keeps saying MD5 Sum invaild
I can still access download mode, and i can still acccess Recovery mode.
Odin3 still picks up the phone in Recovery mode, but when ever i try to apply the orginal Stock rom (From SamMobile) in Odin3 it seems to get stuck

Questions like this should be in the Q&A section!
But since you are new, I will answer this anyway...
Your phone is still usable, but it is the custom ROM that made it unable to boot...have you done a factory reset? If not, please do that and reflash the ROM via CWM recovery...by the way, firmwares from sammobile.com is only flashable via ODIN...if ODIN is still stuck, reset your computer...

How do you doa factory reset? If you mean boot into CWM and go through every options as in resetting in there.. I have done that.
As you say that SamMobile firmware are only flashable with ODIN ( didn't know that ) how do i flash it on my phone?
Pretty sure each time i try and run the MD5 firmware it comes up with an error..
I will try the MD5 on the phone again...And post back.
Thanks for your help really appeciated

Wheyyy! Fixed the problem. Turnes out that i was in Recovery mode rather than Download mode.
Ahaha Thanks!!
Lol...next time, just hit the thanks button...
A good day to all you fellow developers, trouble shooters and geeks from other corners
I wanted to create my account here some time now, but now it's been kind of necessary.
You see, i (lightly) bricked my phone... i like to call it "clayed".
I honestly thought i had done my research and everything went ok... until i used EZ-Unlock to unlock my bootloader.
I remember pressing the "unlock" button 3 times or so because the status above said "Unknown" while a small temporary message beneath said "Bootloader unlock: successful".
The next morning, when my phone shut down due to an empty battery (forgot to charge my phone, so no excessive drain or anything), i plugged it into the wall for battery charging.
Then it went directly in download mode, which i can't get past.
The screen ONLY consists of a plain android in front-view with underneath the text: Downloading... Do not turn off target!!"
So no extra text as within Odin mode.
However i CAN get into Odin mode and CWM recovery mode.
I think that the bootloader got corrupt in some way myself.
But what should i do?
Flash it with a new one? And what is the best way?
I don't have a recovery at hand... but i don't care if the whole storage needs to be wiped if needed.
====================================
INFO:
- Samsung Galaxy S GT-i9300
- Rooted
- Bootloader unlocked (Houston, we have...)
- Odin mode = possible
- CWM recovery mode = possible
====================================
Thanks for reading!
Greetings
Well for a start, the international doesn't have a locked bootloader.......and that unlock app is for gs3 Verizon, which I assume does have a locked bootloader, so either you don't have an international and are in the wrong section, or, as per most posts here, you have failed to read and understand what you are doing
Thanks for the quick response.
I apparently didn't catch the parts about not having a locked bootloader, and the fact that the app is for Verizon.
My phone is the international version.
So, i know it's my fault although i really thought i knew enough while not even being close.
There is so much to rooting (and around it).
Do you, or anyone else, perhaps know what is going on with my phone from this point... and what to do about it?
Well the best bet would be to flash a stock firmware with Odin and pray like hell, what country are you in, and have you used Odin before?

Oof that doesn't sound too good.
I did use Odin (version 3.07) before to root my phone. I understand it's this desktop application which allows to flash/inject software to portable devices.
I am from the Netherlands, where i got my phone from T-Mobile.
With stock firmware, you mean like flashing my current state with the original TouchWiz ROM?
yes, then factory reset
Firstly I'd suggest downloading latest bootloader and patching it with odin even before patching anything else. You can't be sure that it's stable and won't cause any further issues after flashing.

Luckily i've got patience, so i waited a bit before taking action.
Patching the latest bootloader through odin first seems a good idea indeed.
But should i do only that and then try to reboot since everything else still is untouched...
or would it seem better to setup odin with the new bootloader AND the stock ROM all in 1 go?
I'd suggest starting with bootloader, then rebooting. Then on the second go flashing custom recovery and on the last step flashing rom but not through odin but through recovery.
You can find my guide on flashing custom recovery in my ArchiDroid topic if you wish.

Thanks so much for the help already!
I'm going to read your guide and then get to work.
I'll place the outcome here of how it went and if there were any unusual hickups along the way as feedback to potential other unfortunate tweakers like myself... although i hope other people won't be as clumsy as me.
And the last one. Flashing with odin is nearly the same but if you're flashing bootloader then download latest bootloader and place it as "Bootloader" in Odin.

Well, i've done what you specified.
And there's just a slight improvement on the bootup.
The difference with the previous experience is, that there is now a quick glimpse of the Samsung logo... but then immediately the plain download screen pops up.
I did flash a custom recovery though (Philz recovery).
I haven't tried flashing a custom ROM yet, but something tells me that that's not going to help since it's just the upper layer of everything.

If you've flashed bootloader and actually you CAN enter recovery (through combination vol-up+home+power) then everything is fine and don't worry. Just don't forget to clean your old system.
If however you're unable to do it then we'll try to repartition your phone using PIT file. But please firstly make sure that it's absolutely necessary.

Yes i am able to enter recovery through vol-up+home+power.
But alright, i should then go into recovery and do:
- Wipe cache partition
- Wipe Dalvic Cache (?)
- Wipe Data/Factory Reset
- Install Zip (being the custom ROM like CyanogenMod for instance)
Firstly make sure that you have working .zip on your internal/external sdcard as it will be required.
From the recovery move to "mounts and storage" tab and click on format /system /data /cache /preload and if you have .zip on external sdcard also /sdcard.
Now you can install rom and everything should be fine.
BTW I suggest to stick with Samsung Base first, as it's proven to be stable and working. But it's up to you.
Ok, i will use the format method like you said.
I have no external sdcard so there's nothing to be done there.
One thing that's bothering me is that i should flash a new rom (Samsung's stock TouchWiz which i'm going to download) right from the recovery.
But, from how i see it, there's no way around than doing it from odin since i can't just put something onto my phone's storage like you do with the folder app inside the system.
Yeah I totally forgot that you can't connect internal sdcard with pc while being in recovery.
So basicly yes, you should flash some original soft from Samsung through Odin and eventually later put anything on your internal sdcard.
BTW it's much easier if you could find any external sdcard actually. You don't have to flash through odin then.
I had the same problem here on my galaxy s 3...
And here is what i did:
1) go to sammobile.com and download the latest firmware fot your country.
2) download odin.
3) turn your phone on and connect to your pc.
4) remember to have kies instaled (just download it from samsung's website.).
5) extract the file you donloaded from sammobile.com.
6) open odin and select PDA.
7) navigate to where you extracted the fitmware and click start.
8) thats it you are done.
It should take 4/5 minutes to complete.....

KIES is the best bet to install phone drivers.
Ensure it is stopped in the Windows Task Manager before starting ODIN! Else it's a one way ticket to la-la-land for your phone. Good luck, mate! :thumbup:

I will not go into detail but suffice to say I was running my Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 on a stock Samsung Android 4.1.2 ROM and it was rooted and had a custom CWM Recovery.
I then flashed to CM 10.0.0 but encountered problems and tried to revert to my original ROM. This resulted in my phone displaying the initial black background boot screen with the words "Samsung Galaxy SIII GT-I9300". It stuck there and I could not switch it off nor could I get into Recovery Mode.
I was able to get into Download mode and connect to Odin to reflash my original ROM but Odin continually got stuck in the process at "Setup Communication" and on the odd occasion it got past that it then stuck on "Get Pit Mapping".
After much research of this and other forums found one lone article about Samsung introducing new ROMS from July 2013 onwards which had efs2 and that once upgrading to an efs2 ROM you could not go back to a previous efs1 ROM which I think I tried to do.
I eventually decided therefore to bite the bullet and I downloaded GT-I9300.pit and flashed it using Odin with Re-Partition selected. I was then able to flash Samsungs latest Android 4.3 (I9300XXUGMK6) ROM for the I9300.
The result is that whilst the phone is again fully functional I am unable to install a custom recovery nor can I root my phone.
I thought that if I used the GT-I9300.pit file it would re-partition the phone as a I9300 should be partitioned but it seems I was wrong.
I am happy with my phone now that I have recovered it but would like to be able to backup my rom but I need root to do that. Does anyone know what I have done with my phone and are you able to advise as to how I might now root it again?
Thanks

After flashing the stock rom when coming from a custom rom is always best to do a factory reset to clear the phone.
You can root with CF auto root from my signature it works perfectly well on stock 4.3 MK6, then use TWRP or Philz recovery both are in the Dev section

As you can see from the above it looks as though the process falters at "<ID:0/003> Get PIT for mapping.." which would appear to have something to do with the fact that I had to re-partition using GT-I9300.pit and that is what prompted my question in the first place.
It appears to me that the GT-I9300.pit file has altered my partitions in a non I9300 way despite having I9300 in the filename and that is why I posted the question in the hope someone would know what I had done and hopefully know a way I could either reverse what I had done or suggest a way to root despite my apparently new partition format?

Have a look here then you my be able to recover your device, it is Korean based so will default to KOR not BTU but it could repair the PIT problem if that is what you have.

Please read my initial post(#1).
I have already recovered my phone and it is working correctly on Samsung Official Stock 4.3 ROM (Android 4.3 - I9300XXUGMK6) EXCEPT that I cannot flash a custom Recovery nor can I root the phone. I have several apps that only operate on a rooted phone so just rooting it without a custom recovery would suffice.
If someone tells me that it is no longer possible to root my phone then I will be disappointed but I can live with it. I just thought someone might know the answer.
That problem in Odin might be related to incorrect drivers for your phone.
Remove any kies or Samsung softwares and reboot pc. Reinstall kies and connect phone 2 pc for drivers install. Then try a different usb port to flash smth on the phone.

I think i had the same problem with rooting and done reinstalling drivers and change the port so it is now rooted.
Also try unticking autoreboot then after the instalation is done disconnect the phone and remove/reinsert battery and boot to recovery so the auto root files start to install...
Of course everything you do is at your own risk...

I tried to flash a new ROM today, and have had some really bad things happen just one after the other. I'll try to give the rundown as complete as possible:
I downloaded this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2565674
Threw it on my SDCard. Used TitaniumBackup, Booted into Recovery to create a save of the ROM I was using (way outdated Jelly'Beans'), cleared all the necessary settings, and loaded the new ROM. It completed successfully, but upon reboot would hang at the Samsung loading screen.
I dug into the FAQ of the above ROM, located here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47597316&postcount=4056&nocache=1&z=2785911354639757
it says: If you didn't update the bootloader since Android 4.1.2 flash MJ5 bootloader or newer --> ND3 is latest available bootloader - find download link below
So I load back into recovery and use my restore point. I hit the link, download the BL, and use ODIN to load it up. Reboot the phone.. now it constantly flashed the boot screen, but I notice the Samsung boot now has GT-N7100 beneath the logo. What the hell. Back on the FAQ I realize it links to a BL for a completely different version of the Note 2.
I can still hold down volume/home/power and access the downloader.

Well hate to tell you this but you need JTAG service. There is NO way to recover from flashing a different phones bootloader.. That is why it is a GREAT idea to read before flashing random things unto your phone
