I have a Verizon Galaxy Note II that is incorrectly reading as GT-N7105 and won't let me flash anything in ODIN. Can I fix this without a hardware mod?

Have some more information on the phone. The user says they tried to flash 4.4.2 gapps to the phone and installed a ROM that they thought was for the SCH-I605. Before this the phone was rooted and unlocked on 4.1.2 with the 4.3 update downloaded but not able to install (blocked by CWM). I have tried all the combinations I can think of using several ODIN versions on a Windows 7, and two Windows 8.1 machines. Nothing will flash, everyhting just errors out on writing the NAND it looks like. The closest thing I can get to progress is using the N7105 PIT file and the CWM for the SCH-I605. This gives me a boot screen that doesn't blink on and off, but the phone never does anything.
He flashed the 4.3 bootloader for a different device. You have a brick.

I knew it was pretty bad when it was reporting the wrong phone model. Could I use the unbricking method by KOBOL here? Or what can I do to unbrick the device? It was purchased used, so no warranty on it at all.
Thanks
Sometimes I am able to get it to the Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again. But Kies never detects the phone.
I am able to flash the stock I605 recovery, but am not able to enter it. They don't have the file that they flashed that caused this problem. Can I download the I605 bootloader anywhere?

Hello,
I was running FH 1.7 fine and decided to OTA to FH 1.9, so I downloaded the update last night on the my phone hopeing to flash it via rom manager today....except when I woke up this morning, my phone was stuck in the samsung boot screen. I was not able to enter into the rom manager at all, I'm not sure why.
I am now trying to flash a stock rom back on my phone via odin, but in doing so I get an error saying "There is no PIT partition."
I have googled this and search the forum and no one has any answers other than JTAGing it.
Does anyone know how to get around this issue or know how I can just get my phone back to stock?
Thanks!

sounds like SDS to me.
What does it say in the top left of the screen when in download mode?
Binary download etc......

Any luck with anything above?

As far as I can tell, you've suffered from SDS.
A trip to the warranty centre is needed I'm afraid. They should replace the motherboard for you.
No completely SDS I think, because as people described, SDS should be completely dead although some of them was able to get into download mode.
It seems to be a problem about partitioning.

Hello!
My Samsung Galaxy sIII GT-I9300 got stock on the boot logo...i don't know how
I've been using my phone since 7 months, i even rooted it 5 months ago without any problem. I never changed its ROM, it's still running on ICS. When the Samsung official software notification came on my phone, i would postpone it to 3 hours later everytime. One day before my phone bricked, it would boot several times consecutively. Yesterday morning, my phone was fine, the alarm rung, i even checked my whatsapp, in the afternoon, i found it on the boot logo, i waited for the Samsung logo to appear but it would just stay there. I'm able to go in download mode, it says:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: GT-I9300
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: No
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Official
It won't go any further, no buttons apart from the power button would work.
I tried to go on the Samsung updates website to look for a firmware but i could not find my country (Mauritius).
Is the the "Region" important while choosing a firmware or can i just choose a firmware for any other country?
I tried installing I9300XXEMC3_I9300NEEEMC1_I9300XXEMB6_HOME.tar.md5 on my phone through Odin but it would fail on the very first stage (see attachment). I guess this file was not right...
I tried downloading other OMEGA WinRar files, but it contained only folders and other stuffs, i could not find any file with .tar extension.
Can somebody please tell me how do i fix my phone?
Please send me download links of .tar.md5 files and instruct me how to install it. I'll be very grateful to you
i don't mind loosing all my pictures, apps, songs and other files on my phone. I just want my phone to be repaired because i'll need it soon.
Thank you for answering.
It sounds like sudden death check the stickied thread in general, think it's a warranty job good luck

ouch
i had this problem,
heres how i sorted mine out,
i went to sammobile.com and downloaded .sammobile.com/firmwares/1/?model=GT-I9300&pcode=O2U#firmware[/url]
take both sim and sd card out the full factory wipe,
then installed it via odin (make sure you have latest version)...it might have been luck for me but its how it worked
fingers crossed
let me know if its worked
By reading your post and the info presented, looks like you are in download mode instead of recovery, that's why no other key but power will work. In your screenshot of odin looks for me that you don't have the usb drivers installed correctly or the phone is not in download mode.
Good luck
Regards

You probably have the Sudden death :/ You should've updated it to jelly bean... Only way is to change the motherboard , read the sticky in general section for more info.

Try downloading latest or custom firmware and save it to your extcard using card reader. Then try to root again your phone. Then flash the firmware (Custom or not) through custom recovery.Your problem doesn't make me nervous at all I've experienced bricking my phone much more than that.
You mean to say that i should download a firmware, then save it on an SD card which i insert in my phone...
And after that i root my phone again, right?
But as soon as i'm in download mode, my phone says:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: GT-I9300
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: No
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Official
No buttons would work after that
So i won't be able to access my firmware...
What do i do?
Please help me
i'm desperate :crying:
thank you.

Download mode is not for flashing from SD card .
Download mode you flash a stock rom tar via Odin .
If that fails its a service centre repair job .
jje
it didn't work but thanks anyway
my phone is rooted...will i benefit from the warranty?
i heard that rooting a phone voids its warranty...
i tried flashing some ROMS...none of them works :crying:
i even tried rooting it again...still unsuccessful
Now on download mode, my phone says:

CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: Yes (2 counts)

Do i still benefit from the warranty?

Hi, i've purchased an siii today gti9300 and i am very confused as to what is going on.
First of all, it shows that there is na update available but when I try to download it it says cannot be done because its been modified. (tried the miscrosd fix even though am not using a microsd, and couple of other things and nothing worked)
So I wanted to know if its rooted or not, installed root checked and it says that it is. Then I found out OTA isnt good for a rooted phone. Great so lets unroot!
Went into download mode and the first 2 rows are blank and it appears to tell me that it isnt rooted so i am now very confused as when i tried to flash the stock rom on odin it failed.
below is what I see
product name:
custom binary download: no
current binary: samsung official
system status: custom
I9300XXELL4 is the firmware curtrently instaleld and i wanted to reflash it with the same as its the stock firmware
thanks in advance
The reason I am trying to fix this is because I believe its causing the issue with my touch screen which is tempremental. it works but sometimes i have to press it few times or when i scroll it clicks instead. I read the below which is makign me think the software is to blame:

I think that you bought a rooted device which went unrooted (using root manager apps like SuperSU), but the previous owner didn't flash a stock rom afterwards (so the rom is still acknowledged as rooted)
You can convert it into fully official by flashing stock rom (from sammobile, etc) via odin

The blank product name is usually due to hardware failure, you may have bigger problems than just modified status.

Hi there. I am trying to flash a stock rom to my gs5 900a with heimdall on my mac. the device is detected but i cant seem to download the pitfile it says claimed interface error.

The pit file isn't the cause of that particular error. It's a problem with the drivers installed by Kies, which interfere with Heimdall. More info can be found here:

was trying to root my phone using this guide
http://galaxys3root.com/galaxy-s3-root/how-to-root-galaxy-s3-on-android-4-34-4-2-new/
after following the steps i wasn't able to open cwm or the stock recovery i tried taking off the battery after doing the odin process again but no luck any ideas?
Try CF Autoroot (use search function).
If it doesn't succeed, flash latest 4.3 firmware from sammobile.com, then Autoroot.
I think im gonna postpone the rooting for now so how do I remove the failed cwm I tried flashing a stock recovery but its stuck at pit mapping
Also by flashing firmware (whole ROM)
are there other methods than flashing a whole rom?
are you using the latest odin? if youre using 10.x then try using a lower version which would of been compatible with your model when it was in its prime.
Odin v9.x or 7.x for example.
this is a good automated too with many option and much information all up to date within the program its for pc just connect phone via usb.
http://www.skipsoft.net/?page_id=1197
used it on galaxy s4/5/6 when ran into problems.
im using odin3 v1.85 and the international gt i19300 stock recovery do i have to unzip it first?
thats a very old version of odin. try updating. go to odin official website or search xda
Use odin to flash cfautoroot and you'll be rooted. Simple as.
Connect phone to pc via usb. Open odin, click pda, find cfautoroot file, click ok, click start. Phone will reboot, red text, reboot, Optimise apps.. Done.
You can mess with roms or recoveries to your hearts content.

Stop right there. You do not have the international version.
I believe you have the verizon variant, i747?. The international variant doesn't have qualcomm chips nor bootloader security.
Do not flash anything I9300 as you will brick your device so i have removed the link i gave.
The warranty bit has been triggered but it means nothing if your not selling it to a business.
The qualcomm security bit is basically knox but from what I've read this should stop odin from allowing a flash. If it does there is supposed to be a way around it but seeing as I've never encountered a usa device (i live in the uk) i cannot advise further on that, but maybe someone else can?.
Otherwise it looks normal and could already have the said security patched to allow odin flashes. Otherwise you're flashing via recovery but be careful, you need to confirm your variant first!!.

looks like i wont be getting root access anytime soon i don know anything about the variant since this phone was given to me by my uncle in dubai i hope someone helps me out with this
First of all check in the settings of your phone if it says it is I9300, if it is not, you are not in the proper forum. Then we can move forward.
it says model number samsung gt I9300
