My S3 i9300 is gets stuck on the welcome screen and none of the buttons work. I've tried dozens of official firmwares and the latest i9300XUFME7 test firmware as well to fix the problem but all to no avail. I've tried different recoveries, CWM, Philz and TWRP and I've tried wiping cache, data/factory reset and dalvik cache but still the phone gets stuck on the Welcome screen. What is the problem and more importantly what is the solution? I'm thinking of trying the next flash again with Auto Reboot, F.Reset Time and Re-Partition checked and also to check the Nand Erase All if my phone survives the next flash. Any suggestions?

sounds not good to be honest, did you check:
(1) try a stock rom flash with prior use of mega wipe (deletes anything, only leaves ext. sd card)
(2) read the SDS thread (not sure if your phone might concerned though)
(3) read the occasional freeze thread

Thanx guyz. I've tried both methods but unfortunately the result was the same.
Anyway any further help would be appreciated.
If the rescue firmware didn't help then it's a hardware fault.

After what I told you to do[method which was successful in my case], if you still stuck there, goto recover mode[vol up+home+power] and do factory reset. It should work!

Thanx guyz. But still no joy. Like boomboomer says it must be hardware fault because all my hard buttons work and the phone shows up correctly when connected to my pc but there is no touch response when I get to my Welcome screen on the phone so I'll take it to the Samsung Repair Centre but before I do I want to know is there any repair tar or zip I could try to use?

Well, you may try this. It will do re-partition, format your phone and will make it as if your phone just comes out of FACTORY
Go here and download "I9300XXEMG4_KOR_MULTI_FACTORY", extract and install. Installation guide is found here.
Thereafter, flash your phone again using your country's FW via Odin with PDA option! Hope it works. In my case, it worked like a charm! I re-partitioned my phone three times already while doing experiments! It's ok! It must work!!
I even mixed[JB4.3's Bootlodaer, PDA and Modem + JB 4.1.2's CSC] this way[see attachment]! If you know what you are doing, all goes well!

I have had the phone repaired. The technicians told me that it was a hardware problem. I reckon they charged me too much but hey, at the end of the day I've got my phone, fully working, back again.

Hi all,
I was running XWLPT and decided to try Chameleon 1.3. After flashing, it would not boot up. I've tried all kinds of things for the last 2 days, and read quite a bit. I've even tried the method in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1457458
At the moment, I can get into recovery and I can get to download (power+vol down+middle button). But it's stuck at the Galaxs SII GT-I9100 very beginning boot up. Nothing seems to be working. I've tried several pit repartition and I know it's risky. But at this point, I have nothing to lose I guess.
Can anyone help?

Boot into recovery, wipe data (factory reset), wipe cache and try to flash the custom ROM again.
Good luck !
The issue is, I can't even wipe factory data. It will start and then just sits there, unable to complete the wipe. I'm so out of ideas.

Have you tried upload stock rom to phone on download mode? I saw your checked link, maybe you should try with different stock roms like 2.3.5 and etc.. If you try that, what the say ODIN as error?
Flash a siyah kernel with odin.afther you have cwm...
Inviato dal mio GT-N7000 con Tapatalk 2
First of all stop doing things that you are not sure about...
If you can get into Recovery then your problem is simple.
1. Wipe Data/Factory Reset,
2. Wipe cache partition,
3. Advanced/Wipe Dalvik Cache,
4. Flash a new rom (from sdcars probably),
5. Wipe cache partition,
6. Advanced/Wipe Dalvik Cache.
Let me know if this helped.
Hey guys, I apreciate all the responses. panagiostis4te - I am unable to wipe data/factor reset. It just hangs trying to do that. I've let it sit and it never completes.
sinasi11 - ODIN never throws an error. Depending on what firmware I flash, it either get stuck at datafs or data. It just sits there. I've even left it overnight and nothing happens.
I was able to flash to completion a few or the 4.0.4 rom (XWLPF) and it would reboot, show the android logo with animated progress bar. Then it reboots and is then stuck at the Galaxy S2 very first boot screen. I'm so out of ideas.

Questions:
1 . Have you seen This Warning Thread before?
# I don't think so
2. Were you running a safe Custom kernel before flashing Chameleon?
# I don't think so.
Here are my conclusions
1.
You were affected by the infamous Brick bug.
# You should blame yourself for this, for apparently failing to read that sticky warning thread, or even ask questions before messing with your phone while running the Dreadful ICS 4.0.4 firmware!
2.
The reason why your phone is still partially coming on is because you have a partially insane emmc chip.
# If you were using a fully insane chip, your phone would just black out without any sign of life.
3.
Your Nand /Emmc chip is corrupt!
4.
You can try combinations of pit file and ICS bootloader (where suggested). Who knows, you might be lucky
# Visit here and try the suggested solution
## If it doesn't work, then you can try the combinations suggested here.
5.
Jtag service will probably not work for you.
6.
The only (probably) solution (if the suggestions in 4. doesn't work for you), will be for you to replace the motherboard of your phone.
# Changing motherboard costs between $120 to $200
7.
If your phone is still under a valid warranty, the best solution would be to send it to Samsung Service center. Repair if free.
Sorry about what happened to your phone, but you really must shoulder the blame!
jokesy - thanks for the suggestions. I accept the blame. I was running stock and I read the Chameleon 1.3 thread and didn't see any warnings. I thought everything was safe. I guess lesson learned the hard way!

It's a Monday and I've got lots of things I need to take care of I've tried some of the suggestions prior to starting this thread but I'm going to give it another shot. Meanwhile, I'm going to try and survive without a phone for a few days. I'm almost ready to give up. I'm going to work on it more tonight. Will post if I have questions. Thanks again jokesy!
jokesy - I want to report success. I tried several of the pit files and finally at

I was able to get it to complete install and format with bootloaded. The device then booted up! I now have 9.5GB vs 11GB and that's OK. Thank you so much for your help. It's now not the perfect S2, but nevertheless, a usable one! I sincerely appreciated your help. Lesson learned truly the hard way!

A quick question. Now that the pit is different, I assume that the nandroid backup I made cannot be restored to the device anymore?

I seriously don't know but if you have any important thing you want to extract from your backup, follow these steps:
1. Flash siyah kernel
2. boot to CWM recovery,
- dual boot options
- restore ROM to 2nd ROM (you need about 2.1 Gig free in your internal storage)
- done
3. Boot to your Second ROM
- Extract all info you need
4. Restore these info to your 1st ROM
5. you can delete the Second ROM when done, using the same dual boot menu in CWM recovery.
Thanks Jokesy. I did have 2 backups, Titanium and another backup app (name escape me at the moment). I think I'll restore app data and do it that way instead.
Just go back to original OS

You can go back to the original OS using Odin and a package found on many sites for the original Gingerbread that came on it... then go to Kies and update to the ICS and there you go. I have done this several times and unbricked mine after a mod. This was the best way for me.

You said you have Titanium - it can restore elements out of a nandroid backup, almost everything, stright back into place. Much easier than second ROMs.

Good to know. I am actually waiting for my microsd to sd adaptor to arrive. I accidentally formatted my microsd card with all my data in desperation of trying whatever method to format the device. I accidentally selected format emmc. Took out the card immediately, and am hoping to be able to unformat it in windows since it's using fat32. Fingers crossed!
Well, I just messed up with my phone trying to flash B2G
Did it like it's said in this tutorial, worked, but then got an error. So I tried to restore my old backup => didn't work, got bootlooped
reflashed siyah, restored backup => doesn't work, bootloopat cm logo
original 4.0.3 via odin => didn't work
just siyah, full wipe and then install new zip => didn't work and REBOOTS AFTER WIPING DATA, IN EVERY KERNEL TRIED YET!
then I tried flash original 4.0.3 (xwlp7) and then the cfkernel for it, but => didn't work!
does somebody have an idea? Damn, I'm desperate!
Did you wipe cache and dalvik when re flashing stock firmware?
I've been in the same situation and I wiped cache and dalvik and factory reset, then boot to download, flash stock firmware package including stock kernel then once flashed wipe cache and dalvik and factory reset again.
Worked for me
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
tried it out, stucks a this f*cking factory reset...
just this blue bar at the bottom about 10 minutes and then I gave up - or does this need more time to just wipe data?
Flash stock rom via odin like it says in the other eleventy million "bricked" topics.
Sometimes it can take a while if you are using CWM the other thing to try is go into mounts and storage and then format Data, System and internal sd card.
Then re flash via Odin
You do definitely have the correct firmware for your model?

Yeah, I took the one from sammobile where it says switzerland - orange (and thats what I have...)
Tried with format internal storage, but still get bootloop (tried factory reset after this, but didn't work too )
Should I try with Phone EFS Clear or Phone Bootloader Update maybe (tried Re-Partition, didn't work too, maybe I need another pit?)
or should I try with the KI4 I had when I got the phone at the beginning (long time ago) with phone Bootloader update?

You need you use the any of the .pit files in the previous tutorial. one of the first 8 pit files (especially the 8th one) should work for you.

I know but some part of of the disk which may not even affect flashing may be responsible. you can just simply search for bootloop in Q&A section, you should find some pit files that have helped others fix similar problem.
Edit: You can try the stock pit file included with the zip package first, before trying any other pit file(s)
Should I try to just reset counter, format internal story, flash original 4.0.3 (then Counter should be still on zero, right?) and then bring into warranty and just say I got a bad OTA update?
hi guys, before, the S3 (i9300 international) keep looping and cant go to the Rom, it just happen like that, my Girlfren only use for games. and its already rooted.
Then I go to recovery mode, try to wipe cache, then wipe data, but everytime I wipe data, it always restart, I tried 3 times keep restart.
after that I just flash with the new Rom, but I dont realize that Rom, is only 160mb (i dont know its that only update or what?), I just keep flashing it, and first time still looping, and somehow, its work, i can go into the rom. but then I restart it again, now the big problems come, theres a warning, I forgot what it is, it needs Reset Factory, then I confirm it.
when restart, it just stuck at "Galaxy S3" text. I cant go to Recovery mode, only download mode. then I try flash using odin, it detect the usb, but theres no Pit file. so I cant flash it.
what is wrong?? is that they called Sudden Death Syndrome?

flashing a wrong file has nothing to do with SDS, actually.
it can, however, kill the phone, which is probably what happened here. you can try restoring the pit, but it's unlikely that it'll work considering you don't know what you're doing

Hi all, hope somebody can help me.... I am currently stuck in a boot loop on my i9300....
How did this happen? well....
I'll start at the beginning... I received an ota update notification for the 4.3 update and without checking the internet to find out how good it was/wasn't, i stupidly downloaded and installed it! as we all now know, its terrible!
So.... in an effort to get out of the nightmare that is 4.3 i downloaded odin on my computer and rooted my phone with cf auto root, i then downloaded I9300OXAEMG4_BTU from sam mobile. I put my phone in download mode, hooked it up to the computer and flashed the said xaemg4 rom via odin. Everything seemed to go well and the phone rebooted.... but now my phone just continually shows the swirling samsung boot screen and never gets past it!
So, what went wrong and how do i sort this mess out?? Should i try to reflash the rom again with odin will i just make things worse?
Just for info, i do not have a custom recovery on my phone, i just used odin to flash.
Please help me out guys. :crying:

I was in stock rom 4.1.2, and i decide to flash a custom rom, after several tests i decided to get back to stock rom and i used the mobile odin, when i flash the rom using mobile odin, nothing happens, and rebooted the manually the phone and when i did this, the phone got locked/bricked in Samsung GT-I9300 screen.
So i tried any ways to turn on the phone and i got sucess, but when i unbrick my phone, he start to freeze all the time and reboot all the time for it self, everytime that it freeze i had to wipe cache partition to turn on and use, if a did not do this, the phone stuck just after sansung screen.
I'm lost, i tried everything and the phone keeps freezing, rebooting all the time.
Please, someone help me!
Thanks.

Use pc odin to flash stock, then reboot into recovery and factory reset then wipe cache.

Well why didn't you put that in your thread i'm not a mind reader
Seriously though have a look at doing a mega wipe first look here >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/general/tool-mega-wipesuper-wipefactory-t1832326 << then flash a custom stock rom.Place it on your ext sd card first because the mega wipe will wipe everything including your system.
Read exactly what to do first so you fully understand.

I don't think I will post any more information because if I do you will probably say I've tried that. I think more information is needed on what you have tried so people looking can suggest things you have not tried.

Lol for some people that is advanced
If you have done a mega wipe and installed stock rom correctly there are not many options left
(1) You could try another stock rom (Just in case their is something wrong with the one you are trying to flash)
(2) Try the rescue firmware (But only use as a last resort because it containes a pit file)
(3) Service center
