Higher chances your phone can easily be recovered
The only problem is if you havent backed up ur data u could loose it.
Im not sure if u can back it up at this stage unless its on the external memeory card.
Method 1:
- Copy over the flashable OMNI ROM Zip file to an external memory card then insert in phone
- remove battery,
- re-insert battery,
- hold MENU KEY + VOLUME UP + POWER KEY for like 3 - 5 seconds then release
- The phone will enter recovery mode
NOW if it happens to be CWM recovery (u just flashed) and not the Original Stock recovery
then you could do a DATA WIPE / WIPE DATA normally deletes the apps and not personal files but I believe OMNI ROM uses a different file system compared to original Samsung stock ROMS so if your flashing was successful and ur pohone is just suffering from a bootloop then ur personal data (pictures, videos , personal files) may have already already been have wiped. eboot and u could be good to go with OMNI ROM
OR u could use the same recovery to flash the OMNI ROM Zip file on the external SD Card... (google or search on XDA how to flash a ROM using CWM Recovery)
Method 2: will set everything as how it was before if above fails or is complicated
My advice Flash a samsung STOCK ROM using Odin (u need to google or search on XDA on how to flash the phone with Odin ///pretty easy though)
Also download a samsung stock ROM version which was currently on your phone when you bought the phone not any later versions unless your phone was updated via OTA then download that version just to avoid some possibilites of corrupting the EFS..you can download most samsung stock ROMs from here
Your phone should be restored to stock and should work fine. If u still need to use Omni ROM or any other ROM (in most cases) then u would need to ROOT ur stock rom , flash CWM and flash your ROM. but just after rooting its always a good idea to backup ur EFS Folder/EFS Partition (These two links may help you link 1 link 2)
Note: if you dont tick REPARTITION while flashing with Odin chances are your data on the internal memory could be available and not erased just a heads up

Thanks...

Try the latest version of Odin, if you don't already have it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1738841
If that still doesn't work, try heimdall instead:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=755265
It's telling me "firmare.xlm is missing from package" after uncompressing it in Heimdall.
I'm using a rom i dowloaded on sammobile ans redownloaded it to be sure it was ok.
Took an old version of odin and it worked. Flash and reset data and it boot like a new one!

Be VERY CAREFUL if you flash stock firmware and do a factory reset from stock android recovery. You could very easily hard brick your tablet due to the emmc brick bug that many of our tablets are at risk for.
In the future I would recommend wiping this way:
1) reboot to your custom recovery, or flash one with odin if you need to
2) make sure your stuff is backed up on a computer or dropbox etc., then do a full wipe of everything including a format /sdcard if you want to truly start over
3) reboot to download mode and THEN flash stock firmware.
SQUEAKY clean and you can avoid needing to factory reset from stock recovery. I did that about two weeks ago and its like the tablet is brand new again.

Same problem here, my phone was working fine then all of a sudden i noticed it was dead, tried rebooting it, nothing happened, boot loop, tried to access CWM, i got the lower section menu of CWM but nothing else, a black screen with the buttons.
So next i said, let me use odin to flash a new kernel. That failed and ever since that failed, i cannot do anything except enter download mode. If i power the phone on, i get a [phone-problem-computer] image in yellow with text that says somehting like problem loading software, please conntect to kies recovery mode. of course that never works.
And everytime i try to flash absolutely anything on this device, Odin DOES see the device, and the second i press flash/start, when it reacher nand write start, it hangs there, stuck doing nothing.
I took the phone to a friend who has an Riff jtag box, he soldered his jtag to the phone and said the memory chip is not dead, i can read its capacity normally. But when he tried to write to it, it did not work, kept giving him errors, he said he has never encountered such a behavior before. And then i had to leave.
Up to now, my phone is still dead and i have no idea what to do. It only enters download mode, but at the same time, this is useless since flashing anything simply does not work. Anyone knows what the reason could be?
FYI, i was on NeatROM 5.5, which comes with Philz Kernel.
NAND is stuffed/corrupted. How/why - who knows ? Motherboard replacement if you've already tried JTAG. Could be something hardware going on that caused the chip to become 'damaged'.

[Q] Firmware upgrade encountered an issue

Hi all,
I have a Samsung galaxy S3 GT-I9300. 2 days ago it crashed and won't boot anymore. The reason was can't mount /cache, can't mount system ... on recovery mode. I tried only the wipe cache option and it did nothing.
I started looking at the forum to understand how to fix it. I deciced first to make a backup of my data if possible so I downloaded Odin v3.07 and philz_touch_6.07.9-i9300.tar.md5. I read in another thread that we can manage to copy data from the phone using philz tools.
The problem here is that flashing philz tools with Odin fails all the time. Now I can only access the download mode. At boot, I have a "Firmware upgrade encountered an Issue..." I tried with Kies recovery but it failed too.
In my sdcard, I have no folder clockwordmode ! In download mode
PRODUCT NAME : GT-I9300
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD : Yes (3)
CURRENT BINARY : Custom
SYSTEM STATUS : Ofiicial
I am bit lost as there seem to be a lot of options in other threads. I don'y know where to start or what to do ? is it the PIT files to restore ? the firmware, the kernel ? the whole OS ?
Many thanks
Don't use pit file. pit is Last resort!!!! Get stock firmware from sammobile.com and flash it through Odin. Forget kies. Read about Odin before flashing.
You'll need to flash with a *.pit file, and the ROM downloaded from sammobile in order to restore your device. Use the *.pit file as the absolute last option to restore your phone. It will repartition your phone, and any power loss of either the machine you are flashing from, or your phone will render it a permanent brick.
Thank you
I am downloading the latest firmware from sammobile (1.1 GB) and Odin 3.09. There are specific instructions for Odin on sammobile website so I don't think i'm goint to mess it up. I will let you know if it did work for me.
I tried to flash the image from sammobile but it failed. There is no log I can read to understand why
Here is the name of image I downloaded I9300XXUGML2_I9300FTMGML2_I9300BVUGML1_HOME.tar

Shall I try with an older image (this one is the latest) ? or retry by messing the PIT ?
Nand write fail = motherboard replacement.
Keep trying to flash and don't give up but please leave pit till the end. Yes try three part recovery firmware and older firmware "not ics" SDS on ics firmware and you don't want that. But at the end of the day nand write fail means hardware failure.

However, I still have the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue" at boot I removed the phone when I saw the message Removed in Odin. I am not sure whether it didn't let the process finish well or I did right. Any ideas or suggestions ?
I succeeded to reinstall the latest firmware and I got back the samsung logo at boot. However It still doesn't go any further and no recovery mode ... Is there a way to check the status of the system ?
Omg its alive!! Odin said pass! Just keep flashing that firmware till you get recovery and then factory reset.
Try the rescue firmware in general thread, follow the instructions exactly.

Hello
An update of my case. After struggling 2 days with NAND write fail and trying lots of firmwares... I succeeded to install CMW recovery tool. From that, I installed Cyanogenmod 10.0.2. I struggled to make it boot too as it looped on cyanogen logo many times.
Now I must confess that I am afraid of rebooting the phone as I thought it was dead :angel:
Hope it helps someone else :highfive:
Great feed back for others. and go's to show never give up flashing with Odin. Odin is a pain in the ....
Congrats :thumbup:

Problem updating firmware 4.1.1 to 4.3

Hi, I was trying to upgrade my Samsung Galaxy S3 i9300 ; firmware version 4.1.1 to 4.3
On my first attempt I used:
* I9300XXUGMK6_I9300OXXGML1_I9300XXUGMK6_HOME.tar
* Odin 3.07
I turned my phone off, then I went to Download Mode (power + volume down + home buttons), opened the Odin 3.09, opened the tar file on the PDA, ticked F Reset and Auto Reboot and start!
After this odin finished as:
Complete(write) operation failed! ...
On the download screen this is the following information:
Product Name: SGH-I747
Custom Binary Download: Yes (8 counts)
Current Binary: Custom
System Status: Custom
Qualcomm Secureboot: Enable
Unsupport Dev_Type
As you can see the product name is different now. But it is an i9300 as i confirmed on settings before upgrading (and on the battery slot).
I have tried with 2 or 3 differents firmwares and it keeps giving the same error.
Phone will not show Samsung Logo right now, it shows: Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again. Kies does not detect the phone, but the pc and odin does.
Please help.
If it's really a i9300 then it should just be a matter of flashing the right file.
Please try this german 4.3 ROM: http://goo.gl/aJMX7K
If it doesn't work find a threepart-firmware for i9300 (with PIT-file included) and flash it.
Still presenting the issue

Hi. Try chimera tools and flash rom.
I'm beginning to suspect you are on commission for chimera...
It looks like the op flashed a firmware for the i747, try the rescue firmware from general forum else a repair centre.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk
That would definitely be my next step as well. Try the 3-part rescue firmware with PIT.
What do you mean on device it says SGH-i747? Where on device, when it trys to boot? That's from the incorrectly flashed firmware but
should normally be overwritten by the correct firmware without problem.
Again, if you're positiv it really is a i9300 the rescue firmware should do:
http://direct.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30087735
You do need to ensure you get the correct firmware and to do this you need Kies to work.
Uninstal Kies then download Kies and install again, download the 4.3 version, then start Kies go to tools and select the Firmware Upgrade and Installation, follow the instructions, hopefully for you it will see the phone, following the process should wipe the phone and install the correct firmware for it, once this is done the phone should boot up, after that you should have a working phone.
Seems very odd your phone shows i9300 in the About Phone and under the battery but not when you go into download mode it shows the US / Canada phone model.SGH-i747

Trying to install a rom on a rooted device SM-G900T

I turn to the all might all knowing internet for answers
I have a galaxy s5 device that i bought in israel
under about device it says that the Model is SM-G900W8
the rom is a custom one 4.4.2 eyal mobile
This is how i unknowingly bought it from the store
Now normally i wouldnt mess around with roms and odin and whatnot but this phone has a problem
sometimes after i update an app(be it Youtube,potfarm,several apps altogether) the phone goes bat**** crazy and popping out the error message "The process com.google.process.gapps has stopped" and i have a hard time fixing it
so i wanted to install an original (not custom) rom from sammobile
Now again, iam new to all of it(iam a pro at IOS but it was time to upgrade my iphone 4) so i read some manuals and did the following
downloaded the file named "G900FXXU1BPA2_G900FOJK1BPA1_G900FXXU1BOK1_HOME.tar.md5" from sammobile
this file is supposed to work on SM-G900F which is used in israel(this file is "customized" for my carrier Orange)
downloaded odin
but before i did anything i've shutdown my device, and under the battery the model name is "SM-G900T"
So the rom thinks its from canada (SM-G900W8) while in fact its SM-G900T T-mobile
Iam at a loss here
should i install the SM-G900F which is best suited for my country? or should i install the SM-G900T which is from what i've read so far a locked rom and my sim card will probably wont work on it... @[email protected]
and how does canada fits into all of this???
i did thought to myself Ohhhh what the hell and tried to install the file from sammobile which is suited for G900F
i worked according to a site that showed how to install a rom
rebooted the phone in download mode
noticed that "qualcomm secureboot enable (csb)" - i have no idea what that means
ran the odin and it gave me this error

and on the phone it showed SECURE CHECK FAIL : aboot
i've tried two versions of odin, 3.04 and 3.09 in admin privileges
the .09 gave a similar error
i think that it cant be due to the bootloader being downgraded because the current rom is 4.4.2 eyal mobile
and iam trying to install a 5.0 rom
I hope i gave enough info
Thanks in advance for all the helpers out there
