My s3 i9305 has become dead then i took it to a repair shop, and they unfortunately flashed it as s3 i9300 .
now when switching on the mobile it shows i9300 instead of i9305
after that he enables it to load Samsung logo . I tried to use download mode to install rom as i do usual but it shows that efs cannot be read
my friend tried to install most of the custom roms to install the official one later but it doesn't work also .
lat try to install i9300 rom worked but now i can't send or receive calls also the home and the other touch buttons doesn't work .
is there any way to solve this issue without replacing the motherboard .

If ur motherboard is fried, there isnt anyway to solve it except replacing.

Give a thank if i helped you.
You are asking in the wrong forum, anything you find in here will also brick it.
Search in the i9305 q&a forum, see if they have a rescue firmware with a pit file.

Samsung Galaxy S3 - GT-I9300

Hello all
I hope you are doing well
So I have a lovely white Galaxy S3, working perfectly like a charm
an Arabic keyboard and language is available "by default"
I switched a few days ago to a Blue S3 ..
The first issue was that there were no Arabic keyboard or language in the phone.
The other issue is that the internet is EXTREMELY PAINFULLY SLOW, like it's impossible for me to even open "Play" market, loading the default google page would take up 2 minutes and much worse.
So i tried looking for the same exact ROM that was installed on my white one.
found it, flashed the phone using ODIN with the new ROM.
Again there was no Arabic language, internet issue wasn't solve, a NEW issue came out which is "Messaging" app doesn't work anymore at all, whenever I launch the app, I get the "Messaging has stopped", I tried reseting to factory settings, didn't work, and it seems my friend is also suffering with the internet issue with his device
any help please ! I'm really starting to hate androids .. .
Go to CWM, wipe everything.
Then flash the ROM, Modem, CSC, Kernel, ... etc you used.
It should work, if not then either you got a defective unit (improbable) or the phone wasn't really fully wiped.
thank you for your reply
what is CWM ?
How do I know what were my default rom ?

CWM = clockwork mod recovery requires root and root invalidates your warranty .
Default rom whatever came with the phone or find one for your location and network from the Stock Rom thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_III/GT-I9300
Just carry out a standard factory reset no need for a CWM wipe and then flash stock rom .
Modem or CSC can be flashed separately .

Did you make a backup of your stock ROM?
If not try the stock firmware thread..
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
I didn't backup my stock rom and i don't know which is
my default one, tried downloading and flashing 3 roms up until now
all the same
no arabic
messaging still not working ..
I'm really a newbie in all of this .. .
some guy mentioned in another topic flashing then switching your sales code which worked for him
i did the same but it appears i have no sales code at all to switch between .. .
so i traced the messaging issue to a point where everyone had the same issue did this
1- check your CSC by dialing *#1234#
i did the same and I got "CSC: unknown"
the solution is to flash the CSC from the official topic
i flashed now 2 packages, still getting "unknown" message, how do I tell
which CSC is for my phone ?
U need to find a career or country specific firmware so Arabic is enabled.
Search "intratech" in general forum and find your country or region firmware and flash that.
And use "Samsung galaxy s3 toolkit" to flash your rom.it's in the development forum
Problem Solved :good:
Thank You for bearing with a noob like me guys
I really appreciate all your help
and just to describe what happened in case others had the same issue
I went to the official topic for the stock firmwares and since I didn't know what was my stock ROM, I kept downloading many ROMS based on where I bought my phone from "like getting all UK ROMS if you ordered your phone from there".
I kept flashing and dialing ( *#1234# ) after each flash to check my CSC, once I found a working ROM that got the CSC right, I switched the CSC region to "ARB", rebooted the phone, and it all worked
Arabic language became available + Messaging is back to normal + Internet issue seems to be solved "for now"
So thanks everyone .. . :highfive:

Background:
I had my Galaxy S3 rooted on 4.0.4 ICS with no problems for several months, however when I wanted to upgrade to 4.1 Jellybean via OTA I quickly learned that the OTA update won't work on a rooted OS. I installed an called Voodoo OTA which claimed to be able to temporarily unroot you device so you can get the OTA Jellybean update. It failed, did not accomplish what it claimed to be able to do, however what it did do was patially unroot my phone to a state that it can neither be unrooted fully or re-rooted back to a full rooted state. I did a full clean wipe and factory reset and I am still in the same position. I have used the Android Toolkit for S3 to flash it back to factory state it just hangs in ODIN at the boot.img, I have attempted to root and un-root with the Android Toolkit multiple methods and .tar files, nothing, just hangs when it gets to the imaging part.
The phone is fully functional, but I feel imprisoned by the phone now as it operates like an unrooted phone, but I can't upgrade it.
Can anyone help me out of this, even to just get back to a rooted phone.
Thank you to anyone and everyone for your advice!:good:

I have SGH-I747 model for AT&T. I just tried using ODIN directly without the S3 Toolkit and I get a 'Complete (Write) operation failed.' see attached print screen.
It seems as though my device will not allow writing to it. My internal SD card is not encrypted.

hello friends i really need ur help plz .....i had recently install custom rom on my phone samsung galaxy s duos gt7562 byhttp://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/lolipop-extreme-rom-samsung-s-duos-2-gt-t3030181 even before knowing . i had not seen model name correctly i installed it through cwm now phone is not even starting iknow i had no option but if u had then plz assist me . it seems to be case of hard brick
Yeah well, serves you right for trying to do stuff you clearly have no idea about. If your device can get to download mode (use the search for how to do that) then you can flash the stock firmware and restore it...If no download mode
..good luck finding a reliable jtag shop in India
