[Q] [HELP] i9300 stuck on Galaxy S3 Logo

Hi friends I need help!!.
My Galaxy SIII i9300 stuck on initial Logo.
***Since march 19 was the last time that I install the FoxHound Custom ROM But NEVER has fault, Today when an incoming SMS to the smartphone it restarts and stuck on initial logo.

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I can enter on recovery mode but I think that I have a problem here, because in the recovery says that:
And when I try to do anything in the recovery the smartphone restarts automatically and don´t do anything, and when I can install another custom ROM from ext-SDcard all goes good, but when I restart it stuck on initial logo again.
I flash with Odin
(Odin3 v1.85 y Odin3 v3.04)
2 officials firmwares from "samfirmware.com"
and also the: CF-Auto-Root-m0-m0xx-gti9300.tar
and the CF-SGS3-CWM-v5.5-v1.5
and the CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4
and none of it worked, all give me the same error.
The kies doesn´t detects it....
(I close all the kies process when I use odin....)
Any suggestion?
Obviously it lost the warranty because the flash counter says 2 and I can not delete it because it does not start :S
Other info:
Last ROM: Foxhound 2.4
Kernel: Siyah
Recovery: Siyah

Download the pills recovery file from pills thread pace it on ur extsd card and then install via he recovery u r booting into
Then finally once pills recovery installation finishes go to Phills recovery and change ur kernel
please use a normal font.
usb jig has no effect on the counter on this phone
SDS
Sorry to say it buddy but your phone has died from SDS
The only way to fix it is to replace the motherboard..

Exactly so.....you can have no screen or anything at all, or you can have no recovery but d/l mode still shows (worst case scenario)
Try flashing pit files with repartition ticked,to reformat partitions and then flash a Sammy stock rom(not deodexed or with root).worked on gs2 and should work on gs3 too..

YP-G70 help

I'm terribly sorry is this is the wrong place to post this, but I'm new to the whole 'forums' in general thing.
A while ago, a friend came to me and said his android was growing buggy, so I told him how to factory reset it and such. Then I rooted it for him to clear it of any stock apps he didn't want. Now I've currently got the device next to me, and I've tried installing a custom rom onto it for him, to help make his device a bit faster and less buggy. I tried installing PAC-ROM ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2235446 ), but I got the same error in CWM that I got when I tried to flash my HTC Glacier, which was remedied by updating to the latest CWM. I tried updating CWM from its current 5.0.2.7 to something 6.0+, but the 5.0 version sticks, which might be due to the fact that I used ODIN to flash the CWM according to a different XDA forum, which I cannot locate right now. Now, after attempting to flash PAC-ROM, and getting said errors, I seem to be unable to remount anything from CWM (/system, /data, etc), so the device cannot boot.
Is the device bricked for good, or is there something that can help me? I'm not totally inexperienced with flashing/customizing android, but I'm not great at it either.
Thanks for the help in advanced.
uhhh, what exactly did you flash to upgrade CWM? Did you use something for another device? Because you arent supposed to do that.
I would reboot into download mode, and then flash the stock firmware. Then you can flash a either RJ's kernel (for INTL) or Entropy's kernel (US) depending on what device you have. To flash PAC, you have to first flash a cm9 rom, reboot into recovery, and then flash PAC

you probably need to find the pit file and flash that via odin. just keep holding the power and volume down keys until you are in recovery. then put the pit file in odin along with the stock firmware and flash.

try downloading and extracting this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=812772&d=1323614740
this contains odin version 1.81, which has always worked for me.

That PIT file is invalid. It has never worked and never will. If you need the pit file then get it from Adam Outler's post that has all the PIT files for the all players 5.0.
I didn't know what I was doing when I made it. I just dumped the partition that has the pit file on it and that is what that is. NO ONE SHOULD EVER USE ueki8.pit FROM YP-G70_UEKI8_MIN !!!

Hello everyone!
I was previously running custom rom (C-rom 4.4.4) and yesterday i wanted to shift to stock, so i downloaded the latest I9300 file from sammobile (Jellybean 4.3) and flashed it directly using odin in download mode (i opened the download mode from power menu)
the device rebooted twice after which it is stuck on the samsung logo and not proceeding at all, tried going to recovery it booted into recovery but showing this symbol at the center of the screen, i noticed that i cant go down and the vol down button is dead for me, and this means i cant wipe data nor go to download mode anymore

Sounds like you didn't wipe data/factory reset before flashing via Odin. Try flashing cwm or twrp via Odin, go into recovery, wipe all data and cache, and then reflash stock ROM via odin.

[Q] After flashing existenz Rom, Recovery does not boot

Hello,
I'll try to reboot into recovery but it starts normally.
When I try to shutdown the Z2 and boot (typing VOL UP) into recovery, it is always booting normally. So what can I do or how can I fix this? (i cannot post in the general thread of the rom because I'm new here.
The rom works perfectly, all fine.
Just added the xposed module "GravityBox", works fine too.
But I cannot boot into recovery..
Oh sh*t I saw it now on the top, no questions in general, I'm sorry!..
Please post questions in the Q&A section

I think you have to reinstall recovery
Im not sure if existenz supports recovery for locked bootloader
Hey!
I've an unlocked bootloader. I've first flashed CWM with fastboot before I installed the Rom.
Is there an official boot.img what I can flash in fastboot so I've got my recovery back without losing intern data?

you can use flashtool, (flashtool.net)
you will need a FTF which can be found at teh top of the general section, just exclude all of them exept kernel, that way you can get the stock kernel back
Hey there!
I don't want stock rom, I could do it if I want.
I'm just wondering about the eXistenZ Rom, am I the only one without a working recovery after flashing?
I just want my CWM recovery back between the eXistenZ Rom.
Thanks.

Install cwm again how you installed before, as said i dont think existenz supports your recovery method hence it wont be there after installing which means you would need to reinstall
If you installed via fastboot then this is fairly odd as it shouldent of happened

But with the same method as before it won't work again (first via fastboot then install zip in cwm)..
So I think, I'll try to do a backup in any way and install cwm again like before.
Damn I don't want to reflash.. I spent to much work in the settings, design and system.
Crap, so no other possible way for a solution?? :banghead:

If you have a unlocked bootloader you can install advanced stock kernel or doomkernel
And reflashing the rom or flashing across stock based roms you dont need to wipe data

Ah yeah you're right, I don't have to wipe data!
I've created a nandroid backup with the nandroid online app.
The app fails with backing up /boot and /recovery path :

[UPDATE][OTA][ERROR][SOLVED] cm12 5.0.2

Most of the people on xda getting error while flashing new update on YU yureka.
so i have created this thread to solve there's problems :highfive:
you just have to follow some steps.
1.you should be on stock recovery.
if you do not have stock recovery then here is LINK
************************************************************
2. now you need big data pack you have to download whole updated stock rom which is approx 643.767 MB
here is LINK.

'cos it's the "whole updated stock rom", i.e., stock rom + the latest update rolled into one convenient easy-to-use package. read the op.
i was reading stock kernel was needed
i know kernel is usually in the full build
so
1. do we need the stock kernel?
2. Will TA backup work?
3. do we need to clear cache and data?
4. Will the existing 3rd party kernel and recoveries work after the update?
As far as I know from my limited flashing experience, the custom kernel will get overwritten by those present in the ROM being flashed.

1. you should be on stock kernel.
2.after upgrading your mobile you should take backup again. becoz why you want to revert back to older version ?
3.no need to clear cache and data.
4. yes you can flash any kernel and recovery . i had updated it and i am on TWRP.

LOL i tried falshing stock kernel with flashify both time i didnt get wifi signal(MAC UNKNOWN) xD Am not switching over to new update anytime soon....
Flashed this full ROM. Successful !! :highfive:
But I lost Root access and the stock recovery.
I am trying to flash it in fastboot mode, but its stuck at this message:
target reported max download size of 268435456 bytes
sending 'recovery' (8394 KB)...
Without stock recovery, I can't flash the Root.zip file to get root access.

I meant, I lost the stock recovery as well. SO I was trying to flash the stock recovery image file in fastboot mode as usual. But it gives me error as I mentioned earlier. My phone is connected to PC while I try to flash the recovery image file. I suspected the drivers got erased, but thats not the case.
Only when I install stock recovery, the Root.zip file can be flashed using it ( to root the phone again). Because flashing the zip files from new Cyanogen Recovery is not at all working. Some R/W or backmap/bitmap kind of issue comes when I try to flash using the updated recovery.

I am sorry, I put it in wrong terms.
The CWM recovery (having basic look with text in blue that can be opted only using hardware buttons and not touch) is not shown for me now. The Cyanogen Recovery it shows me now looks new (with Apply Update option that can be opted by touch as well). THis new recovery fails whenever I try to flash any zip with it. The error being R/W error or something.
With the old recovery (CWM recovery) I could/did flash the Root.zip. After flashing this full ROM (having the patch), the old recovery is lost. It shows only the new recovery. And with it the Root.zip can not be flashed as it fails, as I mentioned earlier.
May be I will get you screenshots of the new Cyanogen recovery to explain what I mean.
