[Q] Help...not booting! - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys, I hope you can help....my phone has the latest cyanogenmod ROM installed and all has been running well...until today.I had the phone on charge and when I tried to boot it was getting stuck on the 'samsung galaxy s iii GT-I9300' screen..I have rebooted to recovery cleared cache, delvik cache and installed the ROM again, rebooted and still not working, so I repeated the same steps but also done factory reset, still the same. I have tried to connect the phone to pc but it is failing to load MTP usb drivers ....which I think is a unrelated issue.
I'm sure I should be able to get it going via recovery, have been trying all day...is there something I should be doing that I haven't tried already?
Hope somebody can help as I'm pulling my hair out!
Thanks in advance.

flash official firmware from sammobile.com via odin

Is product name blank in download mode, if yes then you have SDS and need a new motherboard. If no then flash stock rom using odin after full wipe and format of system & data, factory reset in recovery after flash and see if it boots.

If you can go into recovery mode, it's not SDS, if you have backup just restore it, or go into download mode and flash stock Samsung firmware.
Make sure that you have latest Samsung drivers on your computer installed.Good luck.

Hi guys...
Thanks for the replies, I'm in the process of downloading the latest stock ROM, I didn't realise it was such a big file 800+MB!
Donna

After installing stock with odin did you do a factory reset straight away?

Well,as much as I have read about SDS, you can't go into recovery mode,you can go only into download mode and there is blank product name.So maybe to OP it's a different situation, and to OP I would suggest to check if product name on download mode isn't blank.

Unfortunately not
1) Complete eMMC failure. This usually happens over night whilst on charge* - The LED may be lit but the phone will not wake. Subsequent removal of the battery will turn off the LED. You will never get the LED back on. The phone will never turn on again. It needs to go to a service centre and have the motherboard replaced
* Being on Charge is NOT the cause. This is a writing to memory issue and it is more likely to happen when teh device is awake rather than in deep sleep. When the S3 is on charge, it holds a wake lock (so remains awake) throughout the entire charging period, meaning SDS is more likely to occur when on charge This does not mean you should avoid charging your phone. If it's going to happen, it's going to happen
2) Half SDS as it has not-so-affectionately become known. This tends to be more of a boot loop of the Samsung boot splash. the eMMC is partially wiped out. You cannot boot into android or recovery . It fails at the boot screen, but the screen does turn on none-the-less. The only; thing you can do is top boot into Download mode.

Hi guys
Just to clarify, the product name on download mode isn't blank....and yes I tried the reset after loading from odin.

Let me understand 100%....
If you have battery pulled and then cannot boot into recovery or download mode. Correct ?
But you can power on, but stuck on the boot screen. Correct ?
If this is both correct, maybe your boot partition is corrupted and without download mode or recovery the only hope is the USB jig to force it to boot into download mode and then you can flash official firmware with Odin.

BOTH right ,I can get into download or recovery mode when power on , but stuck on the boot screen. When I charge it , the battery logo isn't appear.
what should I do??
Please explain what exactly steps you were doing that lead to your situation. Maybe others will have another idea.
Try the USB jig to force your phone into download mode and flash firmware with Odin as previously suggested.
If the jig doesn't work. You're bricked and only a JTag or Samsung service center can now help.

I FLASHED the offical room found in firmware.COM ,after that , it reboot and get into the recovery mode itself.
Excellent, seems we misunderstood each other , otherwise you would not have been able to flash anything.
Now. Just flash root kernel (with cwm included) and you'll be good to flash your favorite rom.
Don't forget to full wipe before the rom flash (system.data.cache.dalvik) and you will be trouble free. First boot will take a while so be patient.

Nothing to panic about, first of all, FLASH A STOCK FIRMWARE..and it will boot into the recovery showing loads of errors, well the problem has not been solved,clearly..
Now, Flash a Stock Kernel Via ODIN..Or a CF-Root kernel as suggested by one of the users! Also,if u still face problems, In the Question & Answer Section of the Forum For SGS2,u will find :

Try flashing a custom root ROM such as Litening ROM v2.6. You can flash .tar directly with Odin. It will install CWM Recovery and siyahkernel. Give it time to first boot maybe 5 minutes ... be patient

As long as you can get in downloadmode you`re oke. Look om www.sammobile.com/firmware for the stock rom you need (country or region you live in) and flash it with Odin. See item 3 in my signature for a detailled tutorial how to do that. You might need a jig however, but try getting in downloadmode manualy for now.
Stock firmware follow instructions .

I have a similar problem
My S3 does not work after I root it, please give me a instruction link to recuse it. Thanks.
I tried flashing (Odin v3.04) the official 4.1.1 after trying the official 4.1.2 and now neither of them work. I am constantly stuck at the "SAMSUNG" logo boot stage.
I can enter download mode fine and also recovery mode but I am stumped on what to do to fix the problem.

GT-i9300 stuck at the startup logo
Hi Guys
My GS3 is stuck at the boot logo. I've read and done all but with no luck,
First problem:
EFS error:
"Fake IMEI (usually 004999010640000)
Not registered to network
Fake Serial Number (usually 0000000)"
Now: stuck on boot logo.
I followed the forum for GT-i9500 thinking this would resolve my efs error. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2392632
I did the following:
1. installed PhoeniX.ROM.EFS.Backup.S4
2. Extracted the efs backup tar file & created a folder in the root called efsbackup & copied all extracted files to it.
3. Used Root Explorer to copy all files to the efs main folder. overwriting all.
4. Used the terminal:
su
busybox chown 1001:1001 /efs/nv_data.bin
busybox chmod 06755 /efs/nv_data.bin
5. rebooted.
nothing happened I was still stuck with the efs error
Now I entered safe mode, and nothing i could do, used the hold power button + restart.
now I'm in my second problem, stuck at the boot logo.
I can go to recovery & download mode....
Please help, i really need it hey

I realize it's Saturday, July 26, 2014 - But I had this exact same problem a moment ago; I got out of it by flashing a different recovery with Odin v3.09. I've got soft bricked staring down "Recovery Booting" and that's it. I had download mode available, so went to CWM 6.0.4.5 from TWRP 2.7.1.0. I must admit I thought flashing my HTC Titan I via Goldcard was hard, but this is ridiculous which my SG3 has presented just to get something other than Android Recovery 3e. I got Knox disabled, the device rooted despite being 4.3, but it begs the question what's the point of updating to 4.4.x if going backwards becomes an act of God doing it. Update: Another attempt did not fix the booting problem; however it is a solution to get out of the recovery booting and boot into a normal startup and back to your phone being usable from whatever launcher you use (Nova in my case) It will return to normal startup once you do this if it becomes necessary to do so, which is a bit of a sigh of relief. I'm about at wit's end. One problem gets solved but the moment I ran Towelroot which really worked, new issues keep popping up. Is there a way to look at the bootloader or what OS update created this Knox monstrosity and made our lives much harder than it has to be. I don't mean to sound like I'm asking a stupid question but is there an apk or a procedure within whatever flavor recovery we use that will perform the equivalent of the Task29 we use to perform on the HD2, something that will wipe these devices down to their baby butts and start over; thanks?

[Q] S3 stuck in boot loop

Hi there,
I have a samsung galaxy s3 i9300 which I have cyanogen mod 10.1. I woke up one morning and it was stuck in a boot loop.
So I downloaded the latest update and gapps and stuck them on my sd card, booted into clockwork recovery. I wiped the user data, cache and dalvik and installed the latest cm and gapps and it's still boot looping.
Can anyone help? I have no money to buy a new phone...
I think the best option would be back to stock ROM
Or it's just a sudden death syndrome..
Factory reset and flash an official stock rom via odin, if you can still boot into recovery then you might have just a corrupt system partition (it happened to me once and a nandroid restore fixed it).

I'm using heimdall as I use kubuntu on my laptop.
I'm having the hardest time finding an md5 file that has the right files in it to use with heimdall. Technology hates me...
Had the same problem today!
Already told here what happened, going to quote:
I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 Gt I9300 16Gb for about a month and so far always worked without problems, and today, from one moment to another, I listen the phone to restart and when I look at the display was the boot image, just say "Samsung Galaxy S3 Gt I9300" and is flashing at intervals of 3 or 5 seconds without passing that boot image, just taking off the battery that it switches off. I'm desperate because I don't know why he had been so, or how to resolve the situation !
So I entered in ODIN MODE and pressed ''continue''
After that it appears on top left in tiny words the following:
Odin mode
Product name: GT-I9300
Custom Binary Download: Yes (6 counts)
current binary: Samsung official
system status: official
And appears in the middle the android logo and below ''Downloading... Do not turn off target!!''
EDIT: when I left the download mode by long-pressing the power button, before he tried to boot again appeared in the middle of the screen a grey battery with a grey circle inside, what is that mean?
I found a tumblr post with a tutorial for heimdall. It won't let me post links, so I'll have to put in spaces.
h ttp: // wildabdat.tumblr. com / post / 13450595781 / flashing -androidk- rom-on-l inux-wi th-no-odin-stoc
I've not been having much luck with it though, I keep getting : "Setting up interface failed!" and "Failed to initialize protocol!"
May work for you though.
Find a Windows pc and use odin to flash the latest rom for your country at sammobile. After that boot into recovery and factory reset.

If it is corrupted, you can only save it with a backup otherwise its a service centre repair.
You should try and flash recovery via odin though, see if you can access. Probably not much else you can do.

So after some attempts to flash a stock ROM via ODIN, my phone wasn't being recognised by it, so I couldn't get it working even after installing drivers for my phone.
I don't have the $300+ to pay for a service repair centre to fix it, so I'm going to attempt to replace the mainboard myself.
My little S3 is dead to the world at the moment.

Stuck at lockscreen after boot

My phone turned off because of low battery, so I booted it normally and after 10 minutes the screen was still on and I couldn't unlock my screen. So i thought let's flash CWM make a backup of my files and do a factory reset. But it fails on flashing the CWM at least I can't access it but odin says it was flashed successfully. On the same thread it says that
There is an auto recovery restore system on stock roms that will reflash the Stock Recovery on a Stock Rom. If the restore files are renamed then CWM Recovery should not be overwritten after a reboot.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
But I obviously can not rename the files because I can't access any of my storage.
I couldn't find any answers in the Internet.
I thought maybe I can flash a temporary recovery but I can't find anyone for the GT-I9300.
Is there any possibility to solve my initial problem or at least somehow get CWM succesfully flashed?
That is the post mentioned above: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...covery-clockworkmod-touch-6-0-3-2-gt-t1719744

My phone turned off because of low battery, so I booted it normally and after 10 minutes the screen was still on and I couldn't unlock my screen. So i thought let's flash CWM make a backup of my files and do a factory reset. But it fails on flashing the CWM at least I can't access it but odin says it was flashed successfully. On the same thread it says that But I obviously can not rename the files because I can't access any of my storage.

Did you have auto reboot checked? If so try unchecking it and re Odin the recovery, remove battery then try booting recovery. Idk if it'll work but it's worth a shot.
