Hi,
I attempted to root my friend SIII using odin as usual, unfortunately it failed and I'm stuck with "an error while upgrading the firmware". Apparently the download mode shows that the phone is SGH-i747, while I'm pretty sure before the phone was bricked that the about phone screen showed that it's the international (GT-I9300) variant. Now I'm not even sure what stock firmware to re-install. note that behind the battery the model is shown to be GT-I9300 too.
Is there a way to verify the model number while the phone is soft bricked? I wish I thought of checking of how much RAM at least this phone had before rooting it but unfortunately I just thought the about phone screen is enough.
As far as I know gt-i9300 is internationl version of s3

You've used the wrong file, if the label says i9300 then files for the i747 will brick it. You can try flashing a full i9300 stock rom, but I wouldn't hold out much hope.

Would that be a kernel for the I9300 ???? that's the model you do not have .
Flashing firmware for a wrong phone may kill your phone .

Hi all.
I have already posted my problem in this thread which I have read to the end ( [GUIDE] Fix an unflashable or soft bricked I9100G )
but was not able to get any solution so I'm starting a new thread hopefully someone might be able to help me and sorry if I was not suppose to start a new thread.
My problem is as follows and hope that someone can help.
I have downloaded odin mobile and installed it on my S2 I9100 G which previously had CM 10 installed on it and I wanted to flash the official firmware using Odin mobile. I did run it and then the phone prompted me for M5 or Md5 that was detected and should click yes to verify before flashing. I clicked yes then it started verifying and when it was done it rebooted and then was stuck on the (Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-19100G black screen) and did not want to move. I waited for an hour and a half and nothing happened. When I removed the battery (I could not reset or do anything else) and put it back, the phone turned on by itself and stayed still on the starting screen (Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-19100G black screen)
Now I'm not being able to put it in recovery nor download mode.
Can any one help and anyone knows if the jtag dongle can actually force it to go to download mode even at this stage
Thanks in advance for any suggestion
Ok thank you guys. I think I was able to fix it and revive my phone.
go to service centre they solve your problem

Make sure you got the right M.O kernel (I9100G).

I have a Samsung galaxy s3. I don't know what my friend did with that its not booting up. When switch on the display.. It turns on and then it shut down again. I download a ROM and flashed it with Odin. I saw a small improvement . now When I turn the device on , the Samsung logo appears and again it restarts. In think the ROM which I used was not perfect.
May I please get some links for downloading original software .
Thanks in advance

Still the same. No improvements .

Take it to a repair centre and pay them to fix it, make sure it works on 4.3 firmware before you accept it back.
Hi just wanting some help from a android guru.
I did update my phones rom to a new update and the next morning somehow it said it failed to encrypt my phone which I did not ask it to.
Now my phone won't work. I can turn it on and get s3 splash screen and it does not go further.
I can get to cwm and download screen
When I try to flash via Odin it fails at nand flash fail.
I have tryed quite a few things. Please look at pic and if anyone can help please.

Try the rescue firmware and pit file, search general forum. If that falls to flash then first try downgrade to BLFB bootloader.
Hey
I get nand write fail ?

Sorry, emmc chip has failed/corrupted try the dead boot recovery but probably time for a new phone.
Yes, it is sudden death symptom. You need to replace nand chip or whole motherboard but it will cost you ca. 100 bucks. You could try to buy s3 with cracked screen and good motherboard and replace it. But there will be different IMEI and serial number of course but you can replace them with box in any service center. If your warranty is acctual then you should send it to Samsung service center.
It happens offen while upgrading to 4.3 directly from 4.1.2.

Hope someone can help me here . First when I bought my phone I'm sure it is a gt 9300 I succeeded at rooting it but never flashing a costum recovery (I tried Odin ,flashify ..everything ) the phone just didn't boot into recovery even the stock one so I thought the bootloader maybe is locked so I used an app to unlock it (don't remember which ) but it just hard bricked it .so I take it to a repair shop they try everything but the phone don't boot so they change the motherboard which lead to my problem now .I rooted the phone again but I still can't boot into recovery even stock one and the thing is I noticed that in the download mode screen it's written that this phone is a sgh 1747 but when I start the phone it shows gt 9300 even in the about phone section
So which one is it ?
So no one has an idea bout this .
Well I succeeded at flashing a custom recovery .I used a sgh 1747 one .I guess I should flash a custom 1757 rom too.
The model number in download is the model number for the motherboard and associated components. If the model is sgh-i747, the motherboard is from an at&t s3.
I9300 has 1gb of ram. The rest have 1.5gb of ram.
