Hello everyone,
I have big problem with my S3.
I have installed with stable CM10.2 few weeks ago.
*
The phone was working normally until today when it reset itself (probably not important, but when I opened gmail).
When restarting it stuck in bootloop, so I wipe cache and Dalvik cache.
After that, when starting the phone it stays on the black screen where it says Samsung Galaxy ...
I tried to do a factory reset, and it did not help, then I tried to restore a Nandroid backup and did not want to
Then I checked mounts and partitions and saw that EFS, system, preload and data are not mounted and if I click to mount anything from it returns an error that it can not.
*
Please help if anyone knows what I can do.
*
Thank you.
*
Best whishes,
Dag
Partition probably corrupt, format each and then restore your efs backup. Flash your rom again with a full wipe.

Tried to do it, but when I try to format system this is message on screen
Warning: No file_contexts
Error mountinf /system!
Formating /system...
It just stays like that, and than after some time screen turns off
Factory reset and flash full stock rom using odin, if that won't work then try the rescue firmware from general thread.

Thank you for your answer
I tried flashing stock firmware with Odin but it didn't pass.
Than I tried this
http://widefide.com/mobile/galaxy-s3-boot-problem-solution
and now I can't enter recovery (still can access download mode) and got message that "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
I guess that I will have to take it to service center.
In download mode I got status:
Custom binary downloads: Yes (1 count)
Current binary: Samsung Official
System Status: Custom
Can I somehow revert System status to offical?
Only way I know is triangle away, which needs a working rom to launch from, sorry.

thanks for the reply I tried that but it didn't work, I retried the bootloop sticky both for gingerbread and ICS but that didn't work either, I can boot into download and recovery mode.
I can flash CWM and I have retried to flash checkrom v6 from sd card but just stays on S boot screen.
Could the ICS update from Samsung have caused the problems I am having? I have previously flashed a number of different ROM's via odin and CWM with no problem at all
cheers
Mike
Hard to believe, when you format data, system, cache. It's a clean slate..... You should not be boot looping anymore..... Do again, flash stock GB ROM after that.... Wait 3 to 5 minutes. Takes time on first boot.

Oh after wiping and formatting system, you should be doing Odin only stock flash.

I gave up in the end and took it to a local shop to see if they could fix it
thanks for the help if they don't get it running I will try your method
Mike
Ok so I have my phone back from the shop who could not fix it either, it booted but when trying to use phone etc it just hangs, so I flashed cf-root formatted system, cleared cache, and user data then re flashed stock rom XEU_I9100XWKI4_I9100XEUKH2_I9100XXKI1
bootloop removed battery restarted bootloop
I am now dl I9100XXLPQ_I9100H3GLP2_H3G see if that works I might have to send it off to Samsung see if they can fix it I will have to pay as warranty will be void :-(
Ok so after numerous attempts at flashing I now have a partially working phone using GT-I9100_XEU_I9100XWKI4_I9100XEUKH2_I9100XXKI1.tar.md5 I say partial because everything is working except when I recive a call I cannot hear the person and they cannot hear me? and I get com.android.phone is not responding options to wait or close
wifi, googlestore, send sms, updates, keyboard all works perfectly
any idea what's causing this driving me nuts now
Hello,
I have a big problem with my galaxy tab 10.1, with rom aokp, during a crash, i am reboot the tablet but it still reboots.
in recovery mode and i'am wipe data but it nothing past the tablet rest in :
--Wiping data...
Formating /data..
The rom doesn't boot because i can not wipe data/factory reset, I can see my file when I do : install zip from sdcard -> choose zip but when I want mount usb storage there are :
E:Unable to open ums lunfile (No such file or directory).
If the only solution is the after sale service, I must follow the :How to Unroot / Unbrick the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 Wifi Only of qbking77 thread for Unroot ?
I do not know what to do, please help me.
sorry for my English it is google translate from French.

Vous avez une Nandroid avant l'installation?

Try to restore a nandroid backup. Or go to www.sammobile.com and flash a stock firmware through Odin

I would first try to restore using the NANDROID you made prior to upgrading to ICS.
In all instances where I have had a problem using a new ICS build I have ALWAYS found restoring the original NANDROID restores full functionality to my GT-P7500
Hey, I have exactly the same problem.
When trying to wipe data in Cwm, I get stuck in formatting data.
Restore nandroid, I get stuck in restoring data stage.

I have the same problem. when i try to do a wipe\factory reset the device frezzes and shuts down.
i will now try to flash stock firmware via odin and see if that helps.
oh and OS is not booting also gets stuck on the boot animation.
Flashed Stock firmware via Odin, the device is in a boot loop, restarting at "Updating Application" line
---------- Post added at 04:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:12 PM ----------
SOLVED!!!
flash any stock firmware from SamMobile (i just chose Afghanistan or something...)
After doing that i have been in a boot loop scenario.
I re-flashed CWM via ODIN
then wiped data (and it finally worked!) x3 time, wipe cache x3, and wipe dalvick cache x3. just to be as anal as the guy who suggested that.
after that i re-rooted my device (i do not think its absolutely necessary but i did that...)
after restart the Stcok OS booted normally!
good luck to all the bricked fellows.
SOLVED!

Hi All,
i think i just softbricked my S3. i was running Omega rom 33.2 and found the phone was unstable. Hence i wiped data, factory reset, clear dalvik cache and etc. after flashing the rom, it got stucked at samsung boot screen.
i even tried to reflash the rom but still failed to boot up. after that i decided to flash stock rom using Odin (I9300ZSDLK2). it managed to boot in but then it got stucked at recovery (failed to mount /system (Invalid argument). i thought it could be something wrong with the /system, i then flash CWM to format /system. obvious i wont be asking for help if that step succeeded. i basically got pawned because i am not able to mount /system. anybody can help me?
Have you tried flashing your nandroid backup that you'll have made at one time before flashing a ROM?

no backup. i think nandroid restore wont help also because of /system is dead. i need to solve /system mounting issue.
Try full format then flash a stock firmware package in Odin.
Go into mounts and storage and format: System, data, cache and internal SD if you have it backed up.
Then re flash stock firmware, this has got me out of soft bricks lots of times.

If you are able to get into download mode, you can try flashing a PIT file. It will either really brick your phone or fix it. Search for the PIT file in the forums.
Remember when u flash a rom with pit file u need to tick repatition in odin..
But only do THIS in your case,never do it otherwise..
Good luck
Whenever I boot my phone I am greeted with a "Encryption Failed" message. I am new to this kind of thing, but from what I can see, the phone is not finding the internal storage. When I try to mount /data it fails, and if I try to load a .zip from sd card it says it can't mount /emmc/.
If I flash a different rom onto the phone it still has the same issues. I've tried everything I can find in these forums and nothing works. I'm about to give up, so any help would be appreciated.
Are you rooted?
Anyway, just flash a stock rom if u are bricked

hi there i have had my device rooted for awhile now and all of the sudden it just started to get stuck in a bootloop, just displaying the "samsung galaxy s III GT-I9300T" screen then goes black and repeats
i have a sgs3 GT-I9300T (from telstra, australia if it matters)
i rooted with "CF-Auto-Root" which worked fine and was working fine for atleast a month
i dont have a backup (yes im a noob/idiot for not creating a backup but didnt think there was any reason to)
i have tried flashing the latest firmware from sammobile using odin (with only auto reboot and F. reset time checked)
i can still access recovery (factory or custom from flashing in odin)
i've already tried a few suggestions from some posts on here but alot of them arent for the international/I9300T version so wasnt game enough to try them out in fear of fully bricking it
if anyone can help out with what i should try that would be great
i would even settle for resetting flash counter and system status back to 0/offical so that i can try and return it
current state is:
Custom binary download: Yes (3 counts)
Current binary: Samsung Official
System status: Custom
Did you try factory reset from recovery before/after reflashing stock?

yes and even installed CWM recovery to clear the "dalvik cache"
Here is thought
Pull out sdcard, better format in FAT32, copy few ROM into it by using card reader or other usable phone which has sdcard slot.
Flash any of newest recovery such as TWRP personally suggested, Backup current ROM in case of further needed and then
Factory reset, format /system partition, wipe cache / Dalvik cache, and then flash new ROM too see if it works.
Remember format system partition!

download this file http://checkrom.com/threads/resurrection-odin-checkrom-evohd™-v4.896/
get into odin and flash this file into your phone through the download mode ... if everything works it should boot into cwm recovery .. then wipe data\factory reset , wipe cache , wipe dalvik cache and reboot ... wait 15 mins and it should work!! Good Luck!
woot this worked!
i tried re downloading the file first like qtwrk suggested and reflashing it in odin which still returned the same result but i then downloaded this one and did it and it worked
i got into the os downloaded triangle away and reset the counter then flashed the telstra one again so that it was right back to factory default firmware which is what i wanted, will proberly root it again but will def make sure i get a full backup right away incase of any issues later on.
thank you all for your help
hye me again just thought id write an update on my situation
it appears that the phone had stuffed up again this time tho couldnt get into recovery mode but could still get into download mode
i didnt bother doing the same thing again instead i just took it back to telstra and they replaced it, and they replaced it with the 305 model so worked out alright in the end
