Hi guys,
I really need your help !!!
This is the story:
I tried to flash with odin (v3.07).
At first I checked these boxes:
1. Auto Reboot
2. F. Reset Time
3. Nand Erase all
And flashed. Until it got stuck for quite some time in "SetupConnection..."
Then I disconnected the phone and reinserted it to download mode.
I tried to flash again but know with these checked boxes:
1. Auto Reboot
2. F. Reset Time
3. Re-Partition
It got stuck again in "NAND.. " (something - I don't remember exactly)
Again I disconnected the phone.
From that moment it wouldn't turn on no matter what I did And wouldn't charge. (BTW the battery was 85% when I started everything)
I tried many (!) methods I found online: Taking the battery out / put it in the freezer for 10 mins / reinsert it while pressing ON button / ON + HOME ...
Nothing helps..
What is the problem?
Tried to specify as much as I could...
I really need your help!!!
What should I do in order for it to work again??
Thanks

So you can`t get into Download Mode?
And wait a second you put your phone in the freezer for 10 minutes???
Edit: How many parts did your firmware have? 1 part or 3 parts?
If it was a 1 part firmware (Only PDA File) and you checked Re-partition then it`s possible that you bricked your phone.
If you can`t go into Download mode then the last thing you can try is to buy a USB Jig and try get into Download mode with it. If this doen`t help then Samsung service center is probably the way to go.
I can't get it to turn on which means no download mode.
I put the battery in the freezer as I read somewhere...
I don't think I have a descent samsung service in my country. I need to check...
My firmware had 2 parts:
A .pit file and a PDA(.zip file)
why did you check re partition mate...you could have at least taken time to search for a flashing guide...
this guy ended up like you.. check the last post

What Firmware did you flash, a link or the exact name of the Firmware would be nice.
What happens if you run Odin and then Plug your device into USB? Does Odin recognize that your phone is connected or nothing happens? If nothing happens then try to buy the USB Jig and plug it in and see if you can get into Download Mode.

True that, I heard several times that guys have bricked their phone of Re-Partition because of missing or wrong Pit File.
Never use pit and repartition with 1file rom. Repartition must be made with 3 file firmware. And of course proper .pit.

This is the name of the .zip file I used in PDA: I9100TJILP9_I9100TCELLP9_I9100TJILP9
Which I downloaded it from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16711188#post16711188

BTW I know I shouldn't have checked the re-partition box. This was by accident...

And THAT is an OMAP .pit file, which is for the I9100G.
What is your phone's actual model number? (look on the label under the battery)
You're probably looking at a JTag job at the least, or a visit to a Samsung service center... Nothing you can do if you flashed an I9100G .pit file to an I9100, or I9100T.

The lable says:
MODEL : GT-I9100
SSN : I9100GSMH
So what do I do?
What is a "JTag job"?

So you flashed an i9100G .pit file to an i9100. That completely buggers it, you can do nothing at this point, except what I said. JTag, or Samsung service center.
JTag is a service where a qualified technician solders leads from a riff box to the motherboard of your phone, to reformat the phone. This will USUALLY end up being cheaper than going to a Samsung service center.
Though, if your device is still under warranty, you could just try sending it in for warranty service and playing dumb. (i.e. not telling them you were flashing stuff)

There is a good chance you screwed up your bootloader because you inserted a wrong Pit File (I9100G Pitfile although you have a normal I9100) and checked Re-Partition.
Like ctomgee said,If the Bootloader is screwed you need someone with a so called Jtag to flash a working bootloader on your device. You can bring it to a Samsung Service Center or find someone (Maybe even here on XDA) who will do this for you.

Ok. I found someone who can JTag my device. (I hope he knows what he's doing...)
I will update this post next week.
Thanks everyone for your help!! :good:

I eventually did a JTag.
Fixed the problem.
Hello all!
Yesterday I started to 1st time flash my 9100g to presumably "original" firmware (I9100GXXLSR_I9100GXXLSP_I9100GDBTLS1_HOME.tar) with the before mentioned firmware and a PIT I've found somewhere in a forum together with 1.85 Odin (u1_02_20110310_emmc_EXT4) for that phone. Unfortunately it seems that I "killed" (Hard or Soft bricked - don't know) my phone (So far I remember I switched Nand erase by lack of attention also, but stopped before complete).
Now the phone starts only in "Phone-exclamation-PC" mode ever and ever again - even with a JIG. Odin 3 and 1.85 recognizes the phone, but don't get further than "Setup Connection". Sometimes I get a connection after I used Jig (still at that showing that exlamation screen), and can flash something, but not always. Kies doesn't get a connection.
So my questions:
1. Is it completely bricked?? (meaning: Sending to Samsung)
3. If not, how can I recover it? (I Don't know, but looks like a kernel startup problem, evtl. wrong PIT)
2. If yes, can someone tell me how much one have to pay for repair in average?
(Before that I made a complete flash/nand mem backup by su and dd of this phone on a 16GB USB Stick - can I use that somehow?)

1. It definitely looks like a Service Centre job, but I may be wrong. The "phone-exclamation-PC" is a type of download mode. So that means you only have soft brick, and not a hard one.
2. Yup, wrong PIT it is. You should be careful before flashing PIT files mate. You can try flashing stock firmwares via Odin to see if anything succeeds. But I doubt it will.
3. It is usually the cost of a new motherboard + service charges.
For better answers and guidance, you should state your issue here:

Thanks! Yes.
So, a WARNING from me: The PIT "u1_02_20110310_emmc_EXT4.pit" for the phone version "I9100GXXLSR_I9100GXXLSP_I9100GDBTLS1_HOME.tar" which is posted in some forums, IS WRONG!
CORRECT ONE IS: "omap4_all_20110627_emmc.pit" (Here attached; MD5: 8fd1dd2630dd844abe9183203fa438f7)

'll do
My Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300, 16GB (UK - Everything Everywhere network formerly T-Mobile) freezes on the flash screen that says "Samsung Galaxy SIII GT-I9300" on boot up.
I can't get into the Recovery Menu. I can get into Download Mode. Phone has not been rooted, nor has it ever had a firmware upgrade before - I got it in September 2012 and am pretty sure its JellyBean so probably version 4.1.2.
I've tried all of the below using combinations of two different official Samsung USB cables and three different USB ports. I've also tried two different batteries but nothing works.
Tried Firmware upgrade via Kies - "This device's version cannot be updated"
Tried flashing stock ROM via Odin (I9300XXEMF1_I9300EVREMF1_I9300BVEMF1_HOME.tar.md5) - "There is no PIT partition"
Tried repartitioning via Odin (GT-I9300_mx_20120220.pit) - "Get PIT for mapping" hangs on that for 30 mins or more ...
Is there anything more I can do? I'm guessing the PIT file is the wrong one as the date is prior to the release of JellyBean but I can't find any others for a 16GB S3.
Any help much appreciated!

Hello i've been reading so many threads about this same problem but i don't know why the solutions on others won't help me revive the phone.
My international SGS3 is dead, recovery mode won't work but Download or Odin mode does work, the phone is stuck on the Samsung logo and won't start. also this is what says Odin mode:
Product Name:
Custom Binary Download: No
Current Binary: Samsung official
System Status: Custom
I've tried CF Root v 6.4 with Odin 3.07 on PDA and i get this message: There's No Pit Partition
i've tried with the Mx.pit and CF Root on pda and i get stuck with this message: Get Pit for mapping...
i'm right now downloading GT-I9300_XEO_I9300XXALEF_I9300OXFALEA_I9300XXLEF.zip (it is supposed to come separated files to do the 3 way flash). if anyone can help me fixing this issue i will be happy to donate since i am really desperate seeing nothing works for me.

I'm trying to get back to my stock firmware after installing Slimkat. To make a long story short, Odin is not turning yellow. I guess it is not recognizing my device; however, my computer recognized it a few days ago. I've tried Odin 3.07, 1.85. I am running 4.4.2 N900PVPUCNC5, but all the links to that firmware lead me to spam ridden pages.
I can get into download mode and recovery mode, but when I try to factory reset, it tells me it is SEANDROID Enforcing....then goes no further.
A) Can anyone lead me to the correct firmware for my device
B) Am I running the wrong version of Odin (which has happened before)?
C) I have the correct USB drivers installed and all Odin tells me is that it is finished, but I don't get a 'pass' message. HELP!
Sorry in advance if I am posting this in the wrong place or if my post is unclear. I am new and learning the ropes. I've read many posts and can't seem to find the answer to my issue. Any suggestions?
