I have the i9300 but when I boot up into download mode it says PRODUCT NAME: SGH-T999 (not my model, though). I think this is because I accidently installed the SGH-T999 version of cyangomenod.
So to try to fix it, I used odin 3.07 and the
"I9300ZSEMC1"
stock rom file to try to put it back onto stock. Odin "stopped working" and crashed and I soft-bricked my phone (Firmware upgrade encountered an issue message at boot).
I tried again using I9300XXEMC3 stock rom, but odin 3.04 says

And fails. My phone says "unsupported dev_type" in red.
Can I please get some guidance? I don't know what I did wrong. What rom should I flash with odin? Should I try to flash the SGH-T999 stock rom with odin?

I tried following those instructions. I managed to flash the .PIT file. Now I don't see the error message at boot, my screen is just black. BUT I can "sorta" boot into recovery mode (starting recovery message shows for one second, then black screen again). So I'm still stuck.
I can STILL boot into download mode though. And if I try to use CF-Root Odin fails again (same error) and my phone says "unsupported_devtype".
Flash stock rom via Odin .
But flashing a wrong firmware for a different phone may well be a lot more than a soft brick
Did you also flash wrong recovery ???

Everytime I flash the stock rom odin fails and phone says "unsupported dev_type". In Download mode it says my phone model is T999, but it's actual GT-I9300.
And I don't think I did. I think I had clockwork mod recovery, I'm not too sure though.
You have flashed at least the T999 bootloader, which is why it says that in download mode. If flashing a full i9300 stock rom doesn't help then you'll need a new motherboard.

That really depresses me. Are you sure this is the only solution? Because I remember when my phone WAS working I booted into download mode once and it said the same "T999 Model" and I could still use it. This only happened after I tried flashing the stock i9300 stock rom.
I think it's the cyanogenmod installer that flashed this T999 bootloader for me. When I used the cyanogenmod installer it detected my phone as a AT&T phone and I was dumb enough to click "install" thinking it would work for all galaxy S3's.
I think this guide is exactly what I need (since it restores bootloader), but I can't seem to complete all the steps: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2535367
I get to #5 but once I try to install CF-ROOT through odin it says the same unsupported dev type error on my phone.

Best option is to try a rescue firmware, which might help:

Will this delete my EFS? I remember I backed up efs with this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1852255

By restoring to "complete" factory settings, won't this efs be deleted? Can I still backup my efs in my 'soft brick' mode I'm in?

Did you try Kies yet?
Do you still have a custom recovery?
I'm not sure about that adb nvbackup you have done. As far as i know it's only for Qualcomm chipsets not Exynos. Maybe you have severely damaged the device. But try Kies first or if you still have root access with recovery try to flash the bootloader manually.
If everything fails contact the low level guys like @AdamOutler or @Entropy512. They might be your last hope.

I tried Kies on two different computers, but whenever I connect my S3 it just says "connecting" forever and never connects to my phone. Tried solutions online, couldn't get it to work.
And I have root access, but can't boot into recovery (says "recovery booting" for a few seconds then goes black screen). So I don't know if I can flash the bootloader manually, unless I did it with odin.
And those seem like busy developers, would they really have time for me? I don't even know what I would ask. :S
Sorry I seem so clueless, I'm just upset/sad/confused/everything right now. Saved up for this phone for a while.
Try to flash the bootloader only. There are different ones. Maybe you need one that is not blacklisted if that's even possible.
Last option that comes to my mind is an external jtag flasher. Maybe you have a local service shop or similar in your area that could help with that.

Hmm when I had a functional phone it said I had the ZSEMC1 stock rom, so the "bootLoader_ZSEMC1.tar.md5" flashed from odin should work? I got it off this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2189063
But I don't know if I'm still on ZSEMC1 since I flashed XXEMC3 with odin (but I think it failed) and I got soft bricked.
What could go wrong? Could I hard brick it by installing that bootloader?
I have no clue but i think all I9300 bootloaders would be ok. Your problem probably is rather to find one that gets accepted. Try the latest one for I9300. There is a thread with different bootloaders somewhere here i guess.
Also try to flash a custom recovery like twrp or cwm. I'm not sure if official tools like odin have a separate bootloader check that prevents cross model flashing. No one really knows how you did that. Maybe it's necessary to be done with dd.

I tried the ZSEMC1 and XXEMC3 and XXEMG5 bootloaders from this thread and they didn't work: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2189063
(shows unsupported dev type)
How do I get the 'latest' boot loader? That thread is the only one I could really find.
And also I did try installing cwm through odin. It didn't "fail" but it doesn't work when I try to boot into recovery. I'm guessing this has to do with my locked bootloader?
Really don't know what to do at this point. :/
New motherboard if you have tried the fixes .
Check if 'adb shell' is working in recovery nevertheless. Maybe it's just a display issue in cwm. Also try twrp.
If all that fails go to a mobile shop near you asking for a jtag flash. It shouldn't be too expensive or something. Hardest part is probably to find one locally...

I tried cwm and twrp. They both install successfully on odin but have the same "recovery starting...." message and they don't work. I've tried connecting the USB when it's in this "recovery" mode but my computer doesn't detect it so I can't start up adb and interface with it.
And also, I doubt I'm going to be able to find any in northwest ohio.I wonder if this service is any good?

is what i tried to flash this with (odin).
Went through all the steps. flashed, blue bar came across. said success in ODIN. Phone rebooted but wont get past the ! screen.
have tried flashing with I9100XWKF4_Kernel and tried reflashing with CF-Root-SGS2_ZS_OZS_KF4-v4.0-CWM4, Both result in same issue (phone stuck on boot screen with ! symbol).
Any ideas on where ive gone wrong? or possibly a way to resolve this?
Thanks again

can you enter download or recovery mode? (volume up + home + power // volume down + home + power)
If you can go in recovery, wipe data/cache factory reset + wipe cache + advanced and wipe dalvik cache.
Mount usb storage and put in your internal memory a rom (like batista or villain rom or checkrom your choice, i use batista) flash that one and reboot.
If you can only go in download mode, try to flash the lite'ning 6.1 (KH3) rom, be sure to DONT check repartition (that will brick your phone).
The lite'ning already contains root (no need to use cf-root before) so if you can enter download mode, it's a good choice to "unlock" (hopefully it works) your phone.
i can get into download mode still but cant get into recovery (never could?)
downloading that rom now. big download :S
Well, the rooting process didnt worked well if you cant even enter recovery (that comes with the rooted kernel).
Keep me informed if you can fix the problem.
I forgot to tell you, you can also flash from download (maybe you prefer) a stock original rom (from this forum, S2 Android Original Development) so you get back to the stock rom (without root).
im downloading both the custom liteneing rom and the stock firmware. Ill let you know how it goes.

That's not looking bright.
Im sure it can be fixed since you can enter dw mode and Odin finds / connect at the phone.
Try with the stock one, if also that one isnt working, you need a more experienced advice from a "veteran" of the forum
Stock not flashing either, both failed :S
really hope i havnt destroyed this phone. nexus one was a breeze to root.
phone gets into download mode no issues and ODIN picks it up.

If (never could?) means also on stock firmware then this was the first mistake.You need to try and flash your original FW (or another from XDA if your phone is unlocked) to get recovery.Without it you wont root or install ROMs.
http://www.multiupload.com/N5RWCXT1LJ
i imagine youve already got it but stick it in pda and try it.It might take a few trys but give it few goes.I had an i9000 jtaged that came back without recovery mode and it took me a few failed attempts before it finally passed and rebooted with recovery and then your away laughing.
and if it continues to fail? jig and return to samsung? or will this be covered under my 3 contract..
If your download count (download mode) is set to 0, it is covered by your warranty.. if it's more than 0, you need a jig to set it to 0.
Kinda strange problem you got here, phone is not bricked (since odin find it and you can access dw mode) but looks like it refuse any kind of firmware.
Anyone else a suggestion? im sure big names of the forum can help out a bit here...

Heres the problem with the return idea.If the symbol on the screen is the classic "PHONE...!...PC" icon then its a semi-bricked icon and if your bin counter is at 0 then samsung are your better choice but 3 might not be abligated to take it back as this sign clearly means a PC-Phone connection problem and not a software problem alone.If the icon on your screen is a big yellow triangle with the ! inside then samsung can refuse to take the phone back even if your bin counter is at 0 cos this is a special warning sign put but samsung to see if you have been screwing with your phone outside of your warranty.If its the big yellow one then keep trying to flash and if nothing works then pay 30 or 40 bucks to get a jtag done.Because you can get into download mode I see no reason at the moment why it wont flash Use the firmware from XDA dont forget.IT worked for me with their PDA flashes and not the samfirmware files with pit files.Dont use pit files and try a more reciente FW if your phone is unlocked as i said ealier.If you want try the samfirmware file that gives you the 3 files instead of one(without pit but use odin 1.85 from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278

keep trying to flash, but its failing. may be a gonner :S i always read that its not bricked if you can get to download mode. guess this is wrong?
im getting no phone to PC error. so is all ok?

Download mode does not mean its bricked or not bricked it just means on a bricked phone you stand a chance of recovery but that depends upon a number of factors the principle one in all this flashing is the user .
It may that multiple flashings have messed up or that the wrong firmware has been flashed .
My steps would be .
One reset rom counter with USB jig to clear for warranty.
Two Recovery mode Mounts and storage Format data cache system dalvik and sd card .
Power off boot to download mode and flash a full stock rom via Odin .
Do not use any firmware you have already used .
jje
recovery mode isnt available so cant mount.
anyone else care to input?

Hey guys,
I recently flashed null_24 custom rom and after rebooting the phone it got stuck at the Samsung Galaxy s3 logo.
When trying to enter CWM (Touch recovery) i get a black screen and it seems to freeze.
I was able to enter download mode and tried to flash stock rom via Odin.
I tried rebooting my PC and using different USB ports but it failed every time...
Then i tried to recover my phone via kies but it got stuck at 0%
Is there anything i can do or is my phone broken for good?
I could use any help!
Thanks in advance
You need to give more detail.
Do you have an internation or usa s3?
What error did you get with odin?
If you flashed a rom image for a different phone then your phone is probably bricked. Likewise if you get pit errors in odin. If thats the case then it needs a repair job.

You could try install a kernel only in odin. One with a recovery. Speedmod maybe? This may give you your recovery back and odin might let it Flash.

I have a better experience with some older firmwares than the newest ones.
Otherwise I'd try as other mentioned, flash a recovery and wipe data and all that, and then flash firmware.
Hope it sorts out for you!
This is so frustrating!
I tried flashing the kernel hundred times but i get the same errorlog as before...
I'll try to flash older firmwares like you said ratatattata

Hey Guys,
I'm sure all of you get lots of these questions, however I have been trying for a couple of days to get this S3 going so I can just asking for help.
My main issue is I cannot flash any ROM's via Odin.
Here is some background infomation:
I started with a stock Galaxy S3 GT-i9300 International 16GB model.
Flashed the correct version of Cyanogen Mod for my Model/Sub Model.
I install this rom by flashing CWM (Clock Work Recovery Mod) and installing the update.zip from my external SD card.
I have done this before with other Samsung devices, No big deal, just factory rest and wipe the davik cache and flash the new ROM.
Well I decided to backup the original ROM via CWM's backup option. The backup completed fine but I backed it up to the phones internal storage instead of my External SD card. The new ROM worked fine till it ran out of space. So I selected the Delete option back in CWM to remove the backup file, rebooted the phone only to find I was still using 8 or so GB of storage.
So my phone was not happy. No room to download updates or save new pictures, etc.
This week I decided to flash the stock ROM back over the phone. For some reason the firmware was incorrect for that model or something was wrong with the phone.
After looking around I decided to flash a .pit file for the Galaxy S3, One problem, I did not know that different storage sizes of S3's have different .PIT files. However it flash and I still could not restore my phones ROM.
So after a few days of looking around I downloaded the stock ROM from Sam-Mobile.com for my phone and country and download GT-I9300_mx_20120220 PIT for for what I read and understood was for a 16GB GT-I9300.
So the new PIT file flashes fine, however I still cannot flash any new ROMS. I have tired the stock rom from Sam-Mobile or trying to flash Recovery-cwmtouch-6.0.3.2-GTI9300.tar (clock work recovery mod).
None of these flash. Odin3.04 just sits on "NAND Write Start!!" and there is a blue "downloading" bar that is across the screen and that's it.
Nothing else happens. I have also attached a screen shot of this.
I have a water damaged 16GB GT-i9300T that I have used to create a .PIT file from Heimdall, But that sits there for about 10 Min before Odin says "Unable to get pit map"
I have also tried this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1916796
I get all the way to shorting out the resistor (R313) on the PCB but the phone does not turn on and fails to display "SD Card Mode"
So, can anyone help me?
I know it might be a long shot but at this point I'm willing to try anything. Any ideas would be much appreciated.
Cheers
Mitchell
Flashing just a pit file usually results in a hard brick.
You can try a rescue firmware:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30087735&postcount=6&nocache=1&z=2665989794768393
But you probably need a new motherboard.
Thanks for that!, The recovery firmware failed to flash but the pit file flashed allowing me to install Cyanogen Mod.
Thanks for your help on this one :good:

For getting error when flash in Odin no matter what kind of error. Just need to flash out and repartition it for pit file and you get back yours phone back. The problem is the pit file must be suit to flash your phone. If not no matter how you flash it still the same.

If still failed sry to tell you need to change motherboard aredy. As I faced such issues on my n3 and I able to recovery well using my pit files via Odin without fail. So might be your hardware problem aredy.
The sboot.bin file is not flashing because the rom is either not for the phone or the phone bootloader is too new.
Are you a using the original USB cable?

I have tried kies to carry it emergency recovery but that fails everytime it gets to 4%. I have also tried to flash a stock rom using Odin but that again says FAIL in red.

Try to enter download mode and again flash the rom. You said "I also tried flashing STOCK rom", what were you flashing before? I just encountered this error today and flashed again after entering download mode and the error went away.

The problem started when i plugged my phone on charge, when i unplugged it the phone turned off and continued to restart after samsung logo screen. I then tried kies to upgrade and initiliase but when that reached 4% it would say an error occured. This happens constantly. I then closed kies and tried flashing a Stock rom with ODIN but it keeps saying FAIL in red.
Also afrer kies recovery it now says firmware upgrade encountered an error.

First of all, Please try and make sure you can enter recovery mode. From what I understand, your phone is soft bricked. Also you mentioned the model. To download the appropriate firmware you need the country.
IF you can enter recovery mode, things are okay. We can then try rooting your phone with and flashing a custom rom. If that works, stock rom can be flashed back later. But first of all please try entering recovering mode by pressing Volume Up, Home and Power Button. When you see the samsung boot logo, let go and if you get some options that means you are in recovery.

Recovery mode and rooting are irrelevant to your issue. Try flashing the rescue firmware from the general forum, if that fails then you'll probably need a new motherboard.

So I forgot to freeze/remove KNOX from my S4 when I flash CWM recovery. I ended up with the "System software not authorized by AT&T has been found on your phone" message. I tried to download the firmware from Samsung and flash it with Odin, but Odin failed to work. Right now my phone is a useless brick and nothing I can find has any effect. Is there a way to remove KNOX or change my recovery back to stock? How do I make Odin work properly?
What is the error that you are getting? The issue is that the phone has a locked bootloader, so you are unable to use custom recoveries like CWM or TWRP.

If Odin fails to work when you try to flash the firmware, then try to flash the ROM again, but without closing Odin. Sometimes we have to try like 5 times for it to work.
It's failing at flashing the aboot, then this is typically a result of trying to downgrade to an earlier version that is not supported after a more current bootloader has already been installed. Repeatedly flashing is not going to help. You will need to download a firmware that is the same or newer than the currently installed version.

Most likely it is out of date since that update is 4.2.2 and I believe the one the phone shipped with. Most phones have been updated since then.

NB1 is the last official full firmware to be able to restore. After that, you can update via OTA or follow the links in that post to update to newer versions of Kit Kat or Lollipop.
