Help: GT-I9300 Stuck at boot logo + odin flash failing - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

PDA: MK6
PHONE: MK6
CSC: ML1 (BOG)
My GT-I9300 was updated to 4.3 around 3 to 4 weeks ago using the OTA update. Three days ago it suddenly turned off by itself and got stuck at the samsung boot logo.
Whenever i attempt to access the recovery mode i get errors can't mount /efs (file or directory not found) and same error for the cache folder. So the only accessible mode is the download mode:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME : GT-I9300
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: No
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Official
So far i tried to flash the same stock rom (I9300XXUGMK6_I9300BOGGML1_.tar.md5) using odin versions (3.09, 3.07, 3.04, 1.85) and they all fail with the following message:
<ID:0/005> Initialzation..

<ID:0/005> Firmware update start..
<ID:0/005> boot.img

Kies emergency recovery also fails. I tried different PCs, usb cables, with or without samsung usb drivers....
Any help will be really appreciated

I know you don't want to here this but a Nand write fail usually means you need a new motherboard you could try this but it's not looking good >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30087735&postcount=6 <<

ics flashing gone wrong

Hi! A newbie here.
I wanted to flash ics rom over 2.3.4(device is rooted(superoneclick)).
I downloaded rom manager via market, tried getting into CWrecovery, however got this message: E:"Failed to verify whole-file signature".
I read somewhere that I need to flash "PDA" with a .tar via Odin in order for CWR to work. So I downloaded the tar mentioned on the site, then began flashing, with the following results:
<ID:0/005> Odin v.3 engine (ID:5)..
<ID:0/005> File analysis..
<ID:0/005> SetupConnection..
<ID:0/005> Initialzation..

<ID:0/005> Firmware update start..
<ID:0/005> recovery.bin
<ID:0/005> NAND Write Start!!
<ID:0/005>
<ID:0/005> Complete(Write) operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
Now, when I turn my phone on it says: "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies & try again."
Kies can not recognize the phone, however, Odin can, and pc does the connected beep when device is reconnected.
Is there a way for me to fix my phone, or did I just made a brick out of it?
Flash back to the stock from and then retry. That's what I did for my very first from too.

Orange Samsung S2 i9100 Bricked (Was Stuck on Boot Screen)

I own a Orange Samsung S2 i9100 handset. This was working without problem until this morning where it was stuck on bootscreen. Recovery mode does not work.
I tried to update firmware using Odin 3.07 however this does not work. It fails to install.
I am now stuck with the message "Firmware upgrade encountered an error".
I cannot access SD card so rooting etc seems unlikely.
Any ideas?

I have tried philz recovery steps however this also fails in Odin.
I have tried different usb ports and reinstalling drivers. However Odin can see the phone, so it may not be a USB driver/port issue.
The biggest hurdle is getting Odin to run the flash.

Followed instructions in this thread using md5 files for i900?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2201860
Odin packages instructions: Samsung Only
They come in the form of .tar.md5 file
boot into download mode
start odin3 and configure it as in picture below
connect phone in download mode to PC via USB
press start to flash the tar.md5 package
normally, phone should auto-reboot into recovery.
If it reboots into main system and your recovery remains stock, repeat above steps and untick "autoreboot" in odin. Once flash is done, keep pressing the 3 buttons combo to for a reboot into recovery.You should see the new CWM
when in recovery, if you choose option "reboot system now" and you get "yes - disable flash recovery", select that option to avoid stock recovery overwriting cwm

Whatever I do, Odin still seems to fall over at same place.
What do I need to perform a full factory reset? I take it use Odin to install firmware?
Try flashing JB leak firmware. It's a 3-part firmware which will wipe as it flashes. Google 'JB leak i9100 Samfirmware', it should be the first link.

This doesn't work. I have assumed from your suggestion that I use Odin to install firmware via Odin. This fails as well.
I now have a new SD Card I could use to load any software onto the device. However I can not get to the recovery mode screen at all (only download mode). Therefore have no idea what to do now!
I also think my phone is worse now - on download mode screen:

Softbricked my S3.

I have searched threads here as well as other places and have had no success.
Device: Verizon Samsung Galaxy S3 (SCH-I535)
Info: Stock, non-root and no ROMS
Current firmware: KitKat 4.4.2
I was trying to use Odin 3.09 to revert to the firmware version 4.1.2 (which I got from http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/) in order to install CM 11. I entered the phone into download mode and entered the 4.1.2 firmware file. Everything loaded and connected fine. I clicked Start and it stopped at aboot.mbn and failed because I think 4.4.2 has a locked bootloader. I also think I tripped the Knox Security flag and therefore it is now softbricked. The phone can still go into Download mode but not recovery mode.
I followed two guides to unbrick it:
1) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2581166
The microSD card method did not work. I have not tried JTAG.
2) http://www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-s3-i535-unbrick-soft-brick-125413/
Odin once again fails and cannot flash the VRALEC.bootchain.tar.md5 file, leaving the same error as before:

I know my post maybe can't help you but I has the same problem with a Samsung Galaxy Mini 2 and I go to a SAMSUNG service and they resolved me. And I think this brick is because any Samsung device is not able to downgrade to an old version...

[SOLVED] Can't flash stock/Bootloader/Modem with ODIN NAND Write Start Fail

[SOLVED]EDIT:
Here is how I solved the problem. I a xda thread I found a similar problem and someone claiming this:
-Downloaded stock firmware and extracted files
-removed .md5 off the end and extracted it again
-inside should be boot.img cache.img recovery.img system.img etc.
-used Unified Android Toolkit to create individual flashable files of each file
-flashed them in the order they came
-everything passed
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So I tried it, and it worked till the last .tar with the system.img in it. Here I had to switch USB cables from the original Samsung one to my Usb cabel from the Amazon Fire Stick. And then it also worked. For the flashing I used Odin 3.10.6 and the firmware was the G925FXXU2COH2 one. I deactivated Auto-reboot in Odin and after flashing each file I manually restarted the phone to Download mode by holding Vol down + Home + Power.
/[SOLVED]Edit
Hey guys,
this is my current situation: Phone is stuck in cyan screen with "An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software". I can't use Smart Switch because I was rooted and on "XtreStoLite Deo-Mod Edition 2.3" when the phone bricked. ODIN does recognize the phone. I used Odin3 v3.10.6.
What I did to brick it:
- Downloaded a firmware and tried to flash it to unroot the phone, following that guide

Sooo.. according to the guide I mentionied I would need to flash pit and Stock firmware at once like this:
1) Get your device to download mode by using this combo "VolumeDown-Home-Power"
2) Open an UP TO DATE ODIN.
3) Find the corresponding .PIT file for your S6 EDGE.
4) Find the corresponding stock rom for your S6 EDGE.
5) Then put them into odin CORRECTLY. Rom to "AP", .pit to PIT
6) Make Sure these are checked: "Re-partition","NAND all erase"
7) Plug your device in and then press start.

But I am not sure if this is the right thing to do. Also I don't know which of the provided pits for the SM-G925F I am supposed to use? http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...925-pit-files-multi-thread-download-t3171636/ Whats the difference between them? Aaaand I'm still not sure which firmware I should be flashing
I would really appriciate your help..
Small update:
Found this suggestion on reddit and tried it
If you've tried to flash firmware off of Sammobile, and had your heart stop when the flash fails, fear no longer.
To fix the soft brick:
Open the firmware file in winrar and extract the hidden.img. Rename it as hidden.img.tar.
Load the new file into the PDA tab, and flash.
When the phone boots, the displayed image will be touchwiz teal, there will be a little android and GALAXY spelt above it. Don't freak out.
Give it a minute and it should boot.

After flashing the hidden.img.tar I was stuck on the Samsung Logo (before the bootanimation) but I could boot into normal Downloading mode. Tried flashing the stock firmware without the hidden.img and got

And I'm back to the screen saying I should use Smart Switch..
Well I again flashed the hidden.img.tar, then I could get in TWRP. I did restore on old backup and did a factory reset. The phone booted! So I dicided to try the unroot one more time. I was on kind a funny Baseband-Version so I decided to flash COH2 Bootloader and Modem, but Odin right after starting the NAND write and I was stuck on the Error massage from the beginning..
Flashed hidden.img.tar and the phone booted normaly.
What is going on? What do I need to flash or do to get back to stock?
In the device information I now have:
Modell: SM-G925F
Android-Version: 5.1.1
Basebandversion: G925FXXU2BOGE
Kernel-version: 3,10,61-Alex-V_1.2
Buildnumber: XtreStoLite Deo Mod v.2.3 - XXU2COH2
It is really kind of mixed up and I have know idea why I can't just flash with ODIN.
Worked for me but with very minor tweak
You guys are awesome! Thanks to you, I got myself out of a pickle.
I had softbricked my phone and I was stuck with a NAND Write error in ODIN with my G920F (Samsung Galaxy S6). Here's what I did:
Removed ".md5" at the end of "G920FXXU2BOFL_G920FOJV2BOEE_G920FXXU2BOFJ_HOME.tar.md5" (so file ends with ".tar").
Used 7zip to unpack.
Using Unified Android Toolkit, repacked each resulting ".img" file into separate ".tar" files (within Unified Android Toolkit, select 99 then 8, then 1 then 3 (auto-detect images). Resulting ".tar" files will be stored in the OUTPUT folder.
Using ODIN 3.10.7, flashed each ".tar" file, one by one, in the order that they were shown in 7zip. It's a very good idea to uncheck "Auto Reboot". After each flashing, vol down+home+button, and vol up again. Repeat until the last file. File flashing order was as follows:
- boot
- recovery
- system
- cache
- hidden
In the end, I rebooted the phone normally. Took about 6 or 7 minutes. An unusual green android screen was displayed, followed by another saying "erasing"... eventually, the phone rebooted as if it had been factory reset. Now going through the tedious process of reinstalling all of my apps.

I found out that "cm-12.1-20151016-UNOFFICIAL-temasek-i9300-V18.0-ds94-FIXED.zip"
using 4.1.2 bootloader (i9300xxemc2) which can cause bootloop on i9300.
Another i9300 with stock firmware using i9300xxugna8 with bootloader 4.3 should avoid bootloop, however forbid downgrade to earlier versions.
Based on this information, anyway to debrick phone without replacing emmc?
greets
