[Q] s3 flashing logo on screen - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello
i put my cloesed my phone and put it on charge and tried to open it next day and it didnt open. Logo of samsung is flashing.. My phone is GT-I9300 sim unlocked and dont know what carrier it is.. I tried kies software it showed " update is not required" . but i have noticed that by putting phones s/n number kies software showed my phone is TMU which is United Kingdom T-mobile . after i tried odin and found firmeware for TMU from sammobile. it failed and showed "There is no partition".What should i do now ?

Try the rescue firmware from general forum, flash with Odin. But sounds like the emmc chip is damaged, new motherboard required.

Any way to find what firmware your phone had?

I have a galaxy s3 when I received the phone I rooted and installed a custom rom straight away. I thought it was an unbranded handset but when I have installed the unbranded firmware Kies comes up with your phone does not support software updates.
Only by looking at a similar sourced phone .
Your codes are probably messed up and Kies sees no firmware to match them or their actually is none .

I thought that I bought it second hand and when I connected it to Kies I'm sure it was the LG8 update. But connecting it to Kies it now says unavailable to update.
Wait which firmware is KOR ?
Fixed it thanks changed the CSC from KOR to BTU.

CSC changing on its own ??

Hi there, got s3 from 3 uk network, my phone kept saying this device is not up-datable though Samsung kies so i flashed lg8 firmware , i then changed the csc to BTU and everything was fine phone was seen as up-datable through kies but now when i go on to get the modem update thats out it seems kies is detecting my phone as H3G again, GRRRR.
I downloaded csc select app from the play store and it is saying that my product code is BTU but kies says H3G , any advice for me to keep it BTU ?
Cheers

[Q] firmware update problem sg3 sgh-t999

I just bought a phone on ebay. unlocked samsung galaxy s3 sgh-t999. It's supposed to be brand new and was in the orig. box. But the build of the firmware is ZS and in kies it says
PDA:EMC
PHONE: LK3
CSC: EMC (CHN) <- CHN I presume is China
also my android is 4.1.1 and I would like it to be at least 4.1.2 preferably 4.3
but of course OTA doesn't work because of the country code. It says registering device then processing failed.
I've tried to flash using odin but I get aboot error with some roms and in some versions as well as sbl2 error with some roms and some versions.
and my phone in download mode says it's an I747 -- the at&t model. In gs3->settings->about device it says its a sgh-t999 which is what it should be.
Kies says the firmware is up to date. arg frustrating.
Everything about this phone works except for updating the firmware.
So I asked for a replacement...which I got today. Same stupid problem, not only that, but this one isn't recognizing my cut micro sim. So if it's between the 2 I would like the original one since it recognizes the sim.
I have read that I can change the country code, but I do not want to root the phone since I want it under warranty.
what should I do to update my phone?
Thank you for any and all help

HELP SM-T800 Can't get samsung firmware on new motherboard

Hello guys,
Received a samsung galaxy tab S 10.5 from a friend with broken motherboard. Switched the board with one bought in China. Works perfect , but there was a test firmware installed on the board (PDA FA44_T800XXU0AND6). I don't manage to install the stock samsung firmware, everytime FAIL message at system.img (see pic 2) in Odin for firmwares of BTU or France . I don't know the serial number or the origin country of the new motherboard so can't recover via Kies or Smart Switch. Tried with the S/N of the pervious motherboard and at the moment of download to the device it fails.. No only acces to download mode, message of failed software update when I boot up normally..
Anyone any ideas on how to solve this problem? I'm running out of options..
Can I determine the S/N of my motherboard when only having acces to download mode?
Thanks a lot in advance for any advice or help
