I flashed i wrong custom ROM for SGH-I757M and now it can't boot. I tried looking around threads and came across this one here but it was for GT-I9100G version of the Galaxy s2. I have the bell Canadian version. Any clues on how i can fix it? It would totally help.
Stock firmware from Samfirmware, boot into download mode, flash with Odin. Can't boot into download mode ? Try a jig. Still can't boot into download mode or boot the phone at all ? Service centre or local mobile repair shop.

No download mode ... that's bad.
Can you boot into recovery mode (Volume UP + Home + Power till recovery menu appears)?
If yes, then your phone is only semi-bricked.
Have a look here hw to fix a bricked phone => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1457458
With a working rcovery mode, you can try to wipe data/do a factory reset.
If that does not help, you can flash the ROM (if it is a CWM recovery) again.
If it's stock recovery, then flash a rooted kernel with CWM recovery like PhilZ-cwm6 kernel (=> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1877270) - use the kernel zip file and flash it in stock recovery.
Then you can boot into CWM rcovery and flash the ROM.
Good luck !
P.S.: If neither download mode nor recovery mode work, then your phone seems to be hard-bricked. If you are still on warranty, bring it to a service center for repair/replacement.
thnx sir but my phone is neither coming in download nor coming in recovery mode and hard bricked..I bought it from UK H3G and currently i m in India. So, they will not repair it in warrenty...Is there any other option or how much it cost to me?
If you have no warranty, take it to a local mobile repair shop & have it looked at. Or contact Samsung by email & ask them who does authorised repairs near where you are.
I doubt you'll be solving this problem yourself.
What is JTAG repair? I heard somewhere that bricked phone can be repaired by JTAG.
These guys do JTAG repairs, if you do a Google search you'll find others (ask local mobile repairers near you, they may also do JTAG's). This might be the cheapest option if it can be JTAG'd; you're only going to find that out if someone who does them has a look at your phone.
Hi
I just got an Samsung Galaxy S3 I9300 GSMH from a friend.
The phone is not stolen,barred or tampered with. It was bought from the samsung store in Hing Kong and is around 1 year old.
Its totally stock, no custom ROM and custom binary in download mode says No.
The phone is stuck on the Samsung logo screen and keeps flashing. I can get into both recovery and download mode.
I tried reboot system, wipe cache and factory reset and its still stuck at the logo screen flashing.
When I connect to Kies in download mode it says device not responding and doesnt play ball. Tried all the trouble shoot but still does nothing...
The phone is recognised by Odin 3.07.
I have not tried anything further as I want some good advice so as not to brick the phone by using the wrong firmware!!
Could anyone advise me what to do next? I am guessing I need to flash firmware in Odin.
Do I need to partition with the pit file as well?
Again I would highly appreciate some help and links to the correct firmware for the phone.
Thanks in advance
Mark

Need help on corrupt EFS issue. I bought Korean variant E-210s. It came with modified ROM for GT-i9300 (i9300ZSALG3). I thought it was the international version and that's why I flashed the JB ROM (update) for GT-i9300 using ODIN. Now, I am stuck on Samsung logo and OS is not loading. I can access the Download mode and Recovery. In Recovery, it shows "unable to mount E:" error when I flash any rom. So, I am stuck here. Need your valuable suggestions on this.
P.S. local service center guy says it's an corrupt EFS issue.
My phone got hang on the boot logo (loading)
I can only access the download mode.
I tried to flash two firmware file via Odin 3.07
after flashing same thing happening. I went to the service center. They tried via octopus and other devices but same problem. They told me to change the chip but its rare as its not available in my country Bangladesh. please help me.
Thanks in advanced.
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.
