hi a friend gave me his s3 to flash stock rom because it was bricked and already rooted.. am quite familiar with odin i have the correct drivers and the correct cable
and a 4.3 stock tar image . i flashed with odin and it was successful but the phone stuck at boot animation
i downloaded another 4.3 image from sam mobile
and reflashed but still the same thing
thinks that i tried so far:
1- clearing cache
2-wiping data
3-reflashing with odin
4- i tried kies recovery with emegency install
still the same resullt
question 1: what can i do to fix this problem
question 2 : can i use a 4.2 pre rooted image (i have already flashed with two 4.3 images)
please help me
thanks for everything

The one thing i am surprised is that you cant flash a stock rom via odin.... Why? Its not supposed to ask for a security code.... Unless the bootloader is locked?... Cant get this off my mind... I have never experienced this issue even though ive flashed many times...
Edit: No. Odin does not wipe the internal sd card. All documents and media are safe. Only app, app data and settings, and system settings are deleted.

CM9 is flashable via odin (if you use the noob-proof instructions), but to update it you will need to access recovery.

Hello guys!
My problem is that I wanted to root my freind's I9100, but something went totally wrong...
Now my problem is that the bootloader doesn't seem to work... I hold the power button, the screen lights up, nothing happens for 1-2 minutes, it crashes and it all begins again.
The only thing that is working (I think) is the Download mode...
I tried to flash VillainROM v1.1 (I read that it would solve the problem somewhere), but it didn't work...
Also with that ROM I can get to the recovery, but unfortunately it can't find the storage (Of course I have a backup on there...)
I'm really worried right now, because it's not mine...
Please help me! :crying:
If you can get into Download mode, then flash a stock rom and see if that fixes your problem.

Didn't work for me... Any other ideas?
EDIT: I waited some minutes and now it says "KERNEL PANIC UPLOAD MODE" any ideas?
EDIT2: I've done a lot of research now and it seems like I have an emmc-brick which can only be fixed by re-partitioning... does anyone know where I can get the PIT file and if that would fix it? THANKS
what method did u use to root??
I didn't root it, i installed CWM recovery, wiped system, and then when i tried to wipe data it crashed...

I don't think that this makes a difference, root basically is just some modified system files, isn't it?
and with a new rom the old system partition gets wiped completely
I dont think its super bricked if u can power on the device. try to get into download mode and flash a stock rom. If you have warranty you better take your phone to samsung repair centre

Only the rom, with bootloader, with all 4 parts, with pit, only pit, only kernel, pit & all 4 parts, nothing seems to work...
when I try all 4 parts it's stuck at DATAFS (or something like that)
& when I flashed VillianROM v1.1 it gets me into recovery, but it always says that it can't find E:\*

No it cant be. If you can power on your device its not super bricked..If it was super bricked your phone would be just a piece of plastic that gets heat up near the camera area. you should have just flashed a safe kernel like siyah using odin. Its perfectly safe. you must have ticked the repartition on Odin
Your data partition is corrupted. And only flashing a .pit file would save your phone. If it doesnt, i think samsung is the only way...

Ok to cut a long story short I've had to send my HTC One back off for repair so it will be away for a week or so, so I still have a GT-S5380i that I was given from my dad as a spare, thought what the hell last night and decided to flash a custom rom to make it at least a little bit better than it is as stock. So I spotted Touchwiz-Resurrected ROM and followed the guide on how to root and install clockwork mod, which was fine then flashed the rom, that seemed to go fine until I noticed no data or cellular connection and someone said I've probably lost my imei, checked that and he was correct the IMEI was blank, so basically thought what the hell flash back a stock rom using odin, did that and all seemed well, odin reported success and rebooted to be stuck at the Samsung splash screen and that's as far as I can get, I can get into download mode but no matter which version of odin I use or which stock rom I try and flash I cannot get past the splash screen despite odin saying it succeeded, I can also still get into cwm but that seems to take ages?? done full wipes reinstalls blah blah but cant get it to boot
So obviously somewhere along the line I've messed up but the fact I can get into download mode and cwm made me think I could somehow get it back?
Any ideas?

Hi guys, my mom has a Samsung Galaxy Xcover 2 (GT-S7710) It was working for a long time until now. I cant install original firmware it keeps looping at the samsung logo, cant install CWM. Odin shows that's installed but the vanilla recovery is on instead. I have a E:failed to mount /efs (Invalid argument) error at the bottom but that should be fixed by installing cwm but it cant be installed, any help would be really appreciated.

Don't flash cwm, just stock firmware from
sammobile.com
That need to fix a problem.
When you flash firmware with odin, make sure that all drivers are properly installed, then start with flashing.
When loop happens after flash, just go to stock recovery and do the factory reset, that must to fix the problem 100%
