Well, heres the issue. My phone is completely and absolutely stock, haven't rooted or flashed anything. I just got home a bit ago and my phone warned me that I had to reboot due to some app trying to access permissions that it wasn't allowed. I then installed Avast security to see if I could find some malware and nothing showed up. Fast forward five minutes, i go to uninstall it and it reboots. Then keeps rebooting, and non stop. I went to the recovery screen to hit factory data reset and it wiped everything, however once it booted up it just keeps boot looping non stop.
I removed my memory card to see if thats what it was but it didn't help a bit. Then I tried again through the settings menu to factory reset and still nothing! Then when I went to go to look at my about info, it said the device status was custom???! I tried to connect it to kies and it doesn't recognize. Im going to take it to Sprint right now in hopes that they have access to software that will reflash the software for me.

If you can get into download mode you should be able to flash a stock .tar through odin.

Thanks for the reply,
I was thinking about doing that, however Im quite upset that Knox was tripped without any custom anything being installed. Will flashing the stock rom through odin fix that glitch or did Samsung screw me over and void my warranty for me?

there is no known knox reset method. once its tripped its tripped.
though having it trip is no real problem and opens up custom options for roms and recoveries.
your only real option to get knox 0x0 is to get sprint to replace the phone.
sorry for the bad news.

I don't care a flip about Knox. I get the concern, but it doesn't ultimately concern me. It's like anything. One individual reports they cannot get their device repaired with Knox tripped, others report no issues.
The evidence would indicate that if you slap the stock rom on the phone, you'll get what you need. There is more than one way to get your phone replaced.

Well thats good to know, anyway thats the least of my concerns now. Ive reflashed multiple times using the stock tar file and it helps for a bit it just starts all over again with the bootloops. I took it to Sprint, the tech looked at it and said there wasn't anything he could see wrong, as always it stopped rebooting once i arrived there, couldln't replicate. Now that its late and they're closed it wont stop! ughh.

So, I was in the recovery mode and accidently bumped the power button when it was on "delete davlick cache" or something similar and now the phone goes to the galaxy s screen, hangs a while, and the screen goes blank and will not load. The buttons do light up still however. I have tried the odin steps to repair a soft brick using odin 1.0 and 1.3 and I have tried both JVD and JI6, nothing will get the phone going. I have followed the directions to a T so I am wondering if anyone else has any ideas. FYI I have spent the last 3 hours reading and trying methods already described, which is why I am posting a new thread. Thanks in advance for any help.
Can you get into download/recovery mode?
Does Odin recognize it when you plug it into the computer?
Were you trying to flash something when this happened (i.e. why were you in recovery mode in the first place)?
A little more information never hurts =)
~SB
sounds like exactly what happened to me, you'll have to go into download mode and use odin to fix it.
I have the same issue. It happened after I received a T-Mo ota update. I've cleared everything I can find to clear. I can get into recovery mode, but when I select the reboot option nothing changes. Anyone have a link to a walk through that a novice could understand? One with nice little things like links to the programs/files necessary? Thanks in advance.
ok this also happened to me i used this to return to stock and everything came back fine.
since i cant yet post a link i provided the thread # paste it to the end of the address in your browser.

I tried flashing back to the orginal stock t-mobile rom (JFD) through odin but no luck after multiple attempts. I finally just brought it to a t-mobile store and the are sending a replacement. I was fully prepared to take my lumps if they told me it was my problem but since they want to replace it I'm okay with that too. I still have the phone and am going to try some of the other steps that you guys listed before I send it to T-mobile. I was actually partitioning my sd card with the rom manager app and while in recovery I accidentally bumped the power button while "clear davlick cache" or whatever was highlighted. Next thing you know I don't have a working phone. I'm not sure exactly what that does but I do know it messed up my phone. This isn't the first time I've modded phones, did a lot of flashing on my old G1 and Wing and never had anything like this happen.
Oh and I was able to get a good connection with odin, it stated it was successful everytime I tried flashing back to the stock rom but it never fixed the problem.
When I bricked my phone I made sure the insurance company couldn't tell I modded it. Vibrant's don't do to well falling down stairs lol

I didn't go through insurance, T-mo is just replacing it through the warranty. I started to sweat a little when they booted it into recovery mode thinking the tech guy was going to ask the rep at the store to give him the info that comes up to see if it was rooted or modded but the tech just had him clear the phone data and reboot and when that did not work they went ahead and sebt one out. I wouldn't have complained if they told me I was SOL since it was a risk i was taking but I also don't feel bad as they are charging me $10 dollars more a month then I was quoted after my upgrade and I am not sure if I want to go through the hassle of putting in a complaint through the Attorney Generals office. this just may be my payback.
Got it fixed!!!!!
Just got my phone running! Follow the steps in this thread, you first download eugenes froyo and flash to your phone through odin and then immediately flash stock 2.1 through odin and your phone is fixed. I am so happy right now!

Not sure what the CM updater uses, but I have tried to update with Philz, got stuck in an installation loop of the update itself.
Tried to use my jig and flash back to stock right now, got into download mode and was able to flash back to stock, but right now, I got into download with the jig, flashed stock ROM, and got a bootloop but am UNABLE to get into any recovery at all.
Pretty screwed up. Really need some suggestions here, guys.
Any ideas?!
I can get into download mode and flash via Odin (USB drivers installed via Windows 8)
Flashes successfully, installs stock recovery, reboots into bootloop.
No idea how to fix it.
Not a noob here. Nothing is working.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I had the same problem and I ended up finding a working CWM tar file that can be installed using ODIN and I was then able to boot into CWM fine.
This is the exact file name: recovery-cwmtouch-6.0.2.7-GTI9300
I don't remember where I downloaded it from, but if you Google the exact file name I am pretty sure you'll find it. Just flash it using Odin and you'll be good to go.

Well, now I'm even more f****ed than before, because I had a zero count, but after trying this, I got a custom count in download, and I still cannot get into recovery.
Nothing works.
Bye, bye warranty.
Edit:
The 6.0.2.7 version by MSKIP worked, but the updated one did not.
I got recovery, now I'll see if I can flash stock and recovery to get my counter back to zero.
Sorry to hear about the counter. I'd suggest rooting your device, installing Triangle Away, resetting your flash counter and then finally unrooting your device by installing stock ROM from SamMobile or such. That's the best route if you want your warranty to remain intact.

The battery was 100% at the begining of that damn update process!

I was on an international based rom and downloaded something that was supposed to be a fix for something. so after the download it took me to recovery to install and reboot. I flashed the zip and it obviously wasn't for my carrier because my screen went black then did the samsung logo, then my twrp recovery screen, but then right back around to the samsung logo. I can get to odin but not recovery. in odin it shows my phones product name correctly, says custom binary download and says no, current binary says samsung official, then system status says custom...Can someone PLEASE PLEASE help. I am so f***** without this phone...Please someone help....Thank You all..What can I do????

Lol yes, sorry kinda going crazy here. Thanks for responding, I appreciate that even. I was on Goodness i605 note 2. I must have screwed up by downloading something in those minsettings that was for a different carrier. It said it was a network error fix I believe. It then took me to recovery to flash the zip and thats when all hell broke loose. It just keeps booting over and over and after the samsung label it shows the twrp screen for a split second then it's just gone. It was obviously a huge mistake and I am an idiot for doing it. I have been trying to get things done through the pc and usb to the phone to fix it and that seems to be the other part of my problem is since I can't turn the usb debugging on on my phone i can't download anything through the usb, Right?...I'm a noob basically and obviously, lol but thanks for responding even if you have no advise.

Dude go into recovery with the rom still installed, and dirty flash the rom while only wiping cache and dalvik. So long as you didn't wipe system you should be fine doing that.
And read more. The op of goodness specifically said don't flash ANYTHING from that till he gives the go ahead. Or it will softboot your phone like it just did

Odin can be buggy, a lot of the issues are with USB cables and whatnot. Try some of these
1. Try Odin a few times, if it doesn't work disable any and all antivirus, reboot PC and try again.
2. If still no success, try reinstalling all drivers and yet again try again.
3. If that fails, use a different USB port.
4. If that doesn't work try a different USB cable.
5. If all else fails just try a different PC.
Frankly your phone has reached rock bottom so any fails with Odin should not make the problems worse than they are now. Keep us posted and good luck.

Ill give all that a go for sure thank you very much. Is there any possible way through your computer connected to your phone through the usb that you can turn on the usb debugging on your phone from your computer? Long shot I'm sure but it seems like if I could get that turned on I would be working in the right direction
are you getting into download mode on the phone itself and seeing the yellow triangle? you can flash the stock samsung firmware through odin which also unroots and then start over with rooting and such.
I would do what wto said. I have had odin fail multiple times because my drivers were not loaded correctly. Keep plugging away at it, and it might surprise you. Good luck, and sorry.....

Thank you all for being so helpful, really I appreciate it. Yes I can get to download and for the first time I was able to get those return to stock files to go through odin sucessfully but then it rebooted and then went into a different loop with just the samsung logo? In the post it said shut it down then and go into recover but I tried and it just goes right back into the loop? any idea from there?
I don't want to give you bad advice at this point. Honestly, this is my first Samsung device. You can still get into downlpad mode correct? If so, you are not completely screwed (hopefully). I will look around tomorrow, and see what I can dig up. At this point you know you can flash files with odin, so dont get careless at this point. I know how frustrating, and anxious you must feel. What a great learning experience, huh? My advice is to do as much research as possible. Getting late, so until tomorrow.

Did you flash the PIT file when you flashed the return to stock files? Which return to stock files did you flash? If you haven't already done this try flashing just the PIT files in Odin and see if that will work for you, if not then flash the alternative recovery ROM and the PIT together in Odin and see if that works.

If you can still get into download your phone will still be functional. I have a few questions.
1. What version of android were you rooted on?
2. Were you ever successfully rooted at any point?
3. Can you get your phone to be recognized in ODIN?
You shouldn't have to need USB debugging if you can get into download mode, for all I know download mode uses the same USB debugging properties as it is not in the OS yet.
Keep us posted and please don't leave out details in-case someone else comes around with a similar issue. If you do get something working, try to put a step-by-step on how you did it for future reference.
Great Learning experience for sure, I thought I was getting good at figuring out what I could and couldnt download lol..yes I'm extremely bummed and even more frusterated. I appreciate all the help and direction. I am truely sorry to even have to ask for help guys believe me. Yes I was rooted, yes I get recognized by odin in download mode and as for the version I was last on I am not sure exactly what I was on...i never got the latest update from verizon because I was rooted before that. So I rooted just after that verizon update that was the security patch I believe?? So I did the pit file with the root66 first and it keeps going all the easy tell the end of the download amd then fails...however I then did the pit with the stock restore and it passed, rebooted my phone then goes into a boot loop and I shut it down like it says in the directions and try to restart into recovery and it goes right back to the bootloop..its like I dont have a recovery set up or something anymore if thats possible?? I'm working now but ill be back to messing with it once I get off so any advice will be appreciated and put to use at 5mst...thanks again everuone
I am just thinking out loud, but if recovery is hosed, maybe you could run casual, and have it reinstall rhe custom recovery. I have no idea if this would work, but it is one way ro get a custom recovery back on. Still looking around for more info, but I dont want to brick your device completely.
Edit- You may try flashing twrp from odin. Here is a link to team.win's website, and download. Again, I am thinkong out loud, and none of my advise is bulletproof.

I'm sure this has been asked several times but I never seen a answer that can help me.
About 6 months ago my phone started to become really slow and freezed at some points. I decided to root and and put another rom on it. So I installed purelook HD. Since a few days I can't use my phone for more than 5 minutes until it freezes. Everytime it freezes I need to take out the battery and put it back in. Decided to install neatrom but same problem. Here is how and what:
- I can't access my phone in any way, it freazes before I can do anything.
- SIM in or out doesn't matter, I'm living in the Netherlands and my SIM provider is KPN.
- My binary counter is set to 1, so I can directly send it back. Is it possible to change this without accessing the phone? Because that is impossible.
- If/after the above is possible how can I unroot it? Is it possible to do a reset trough KIES? This is how I did it last time.
If there is someone that would like to help me it is really appreciated. I screwed up my S1 and I'm really scared I'm going to do it again.
Some Details I can get to:
MODEL: GT-I9300
FCC ID: A3LGTI9300A
SSN: -I9300GSMH
Thanks for your help.
btw, I do got skype if anybody would like to add me and help me. zander19951
Go and read the freezing thread in the general forum, flash a stock rom to unroot but you can't reset flash counter unless you can run triangle away (which you will need root for).
You should have sent for repair before flashing anything, warranty is now void.

I couldn't know freezing might be a hardware problem and not a software problem. I can get into my phone every 1/20 or so so I'm going to try and install triangle away.
Can I do a reset trough KIES? Or will it brick my phone?

Never used kies, always odin, you can't reset anything in either. To keep flash counter zero after you run triangle away you'll need a stock kernel and recovery installed, do this before you triangle away.
Then flash a stock rom, with a zero counter you are ready for repair.

just tried to put cwm on it...odin won't let it work...says "nand write start"...then says "fail!"...could it be because i "think" it's on 4.3 now? there's a message that says "knox warranty void: 0"...i think that's a new thing on 4.3...?

That would be correct.. You are on a 4.3 bootloader
You need to flash via odin..MJ9 Kies tar.. Also use the pit when flashing

Recovery meaning stock recovery? Bc your on 4.3 bootloader so you won't be able to have a custom recovery unless on safe strap.. see if you have stock recovery and do a factory reset once Odin goes though fine

yup i think what he meant is stock recovery, and after taking ota 4.3 his phone goes bootloop and he cant perform factory reset because he cant get in to stock recovery. cmiiw.

yup, exactly right. pretty close to giving up here but that's ok...i can just break it. i've already traded in another phone...got myself an m8...
thanks anyways.
After my grand daughter got my SCH-i650 into TWRP recovery mode and then proceeded to really (&#$^@# it up, needless to say it was totally screwed. My fault though. I ended up flashing with odin back to stock and used the MJ9 4.3 version.I didn't know that the boot loader was locked up tight on this one so I am stuck with it. I rooted, then put the new safe strap on it and got stuck in a splash screen. I could hear messages coming through but my screen was locked. Long story short, what finally worked was what you all said to do in this thread and then stock recovery and factory reset. At least I have my phone back. I really miss Alliance and Trent's rom but glad to at least have my phone working. Thank you all for all the help and suggestions.
