Cant unbrick i9300 weird problem - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

HI
I got here a bricked i9300.
It freezes on Samsung logo.
I cant open recovery, but it does enter download mode.
First thing I tried was flashing stock firmware via Odin: I got "There is no PIT partition"
So I closed Odin and reopened it and tried flashing the PIT file.
It froze on SetupConnection.
I shut off the phone and entered download mode again and tried to flash the PIT.
Now it froze on Get PIT for mapping..
I closed Odin and reopened it... Froze on SetupConection.
Shut of the phone... Download mode... Odin...
I set the PIT and marked Nand Erase All
<ID:0/007> SetupConnection..
<ID:0/007> Initialzation..
<ID:0/007> Erase...
<ID:0/007>
<ID:0/007> Complete(Write) operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
Every time I try to do something via Odin the phone seems to freeze and wont pass trough SetupConnection anymore.
If I restart it to download mode, it will try to do something but I get those errors.
If I shut it down and put it to charge, it will take longer than usual to show the static battery icon (the one with a circle), and wont pass trough it. It will freeze there.
I also tried the Kies tool where you put Model and S/N, it finds the phone, I accept the terms and then get a message that "this version cannot be updated".
WHat the hell can I do? Is this motherboard gone for good?

Very much the same here! I hope there is a solution for this problame

Did you try ticking repartition in Odin and flash firmware with pit. Hope that'll do.

Yes it will start by trying to repartition and freeze at "Get pit for mapping.."

Try using Samsung Kies 3. Go to Tools, then Firmware Upgrade and Initialisation.
This happened to me and I was able to unbrick my phone.

Phone stuck on Warning Image after failed firmware update

As the title says, today I tried updating my phone to the latest firmware. Samsumg Kies downloaded the new firmware, and the update was going. After it "finished", it said:
"SGH-T959 could not be upgraded
1. Detach and reattach the mobile phone's battery.
2. Reboot the mobile phone, and then try the upgrade again."
So I did all it asked, to go into Emergency Recovery, and my phone does not go into the mode. It's stuck on this black screen with an image like this (Phone .. ! .. PC).
Any help would be much appreciated.
Some other info: I've never done any fancy work on this phone, such as rooting, etc. The only time I touched its firmware was using the Samsumg Kies before to upgrade to 2.1 or 2.2, whatever is the latest one right now.
UPDATE!:
So after trying many times with Odin, and doing the download mode thing, I decided to run Samsung Kies again. In the Emergency Recovery it told me to press the UP and DOWN volume button, but never really explained how. It didnt specify that it was trying to put me into download mode.
So, I went into Samsung Kies, did the STEP by STEP of going into Download mode of this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=848737. The Emergency Recovery mode started working into Kies. I now have my phone back up and running.
NOTE: My screen setup was changed. I had only 3 tabs and now its back to 7, and the apps arent in place (BUT THEY ARE ALL HERE!).
Thank you laylovj for your time and all the help!
SOunds like a softbrick. You better hope that you have backups of everything cause you might have to ODIN back to stock firmware.
I don't mind losing everything, as long as I get it working. Mind pointing me out to a good guide?
Thank you.
Use the ODIN 1.7 from

I was about to post about that when you edited it. It does not go into download mode. I will try as soon as the JFD download is done. Thanks so far!
So I downloaded Odin and all the other files. Did the whole thing of going into download mode, even though it didnt change the screen, in Odin, it seemed to recognize my phone as a yellow box showed with 0:[COM4]. The only files that were able to be chosen were PIT and PHONE. When I clicked PDA, no file appeared, and neither did CSC and ETC. So I clicked START, and its now stuck on SetupConnection. It's been there for about 5 minutes now, is this normal?
Also, before upgrading to Froyo, try out some custom roms if you're feeling brave.
And if this ever happens again, pull out battery first, then remove the USB to avoid it again.
Can I fix it first then do a ROM after? I did want to do it before, because my phone was freezing at random times doing basic stuff, but I was afraid it would brick my phone. But right now it can't get any worse lol
I just want it to work, if it works, i'll try a different ROM.
Update: I did the Odin again, and now I got "<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 0).
Wont go any further then that.
Wait so you didn't choose a PDA? Did you extract the JFD zip file? You weren't supposed to.

I'm pretty sure I read somewhere I needed to extract, but guess I was wrong. So this time I re did everything, and was able to select the PDA file. I clicked start, and this is what I got:

Tried once again with v1.00 and it kept getting stuck at cache.rfs.
So I tried twice with v1.7 and I keep getting this:

EDIT: Could I try another PDA and PIT file? How does another ROM would work? Is it just other files in the place of these PDA and PIT files?
Try redownloading the files...I really don't know what else to say.
-DO you get a different [COM#] if you try to go to download mode than if you hold the power button? (should come up as warning still)

Download mode or recovory works ?. Then flash a stock ics Rom and try again.
Hope it works..

Unplug your phone from usb.
Close odin and open it again.
just hold down power button while press volume down and home button. it will reboot into download mode
plug in
set pda and etc accordingly. flash.
Whenever you fail, you must close odin and unplug to try again to be sure.
Also try changing usb port if one side fails. Make sure your pc recognize and install driver before you plug in

Have you tried a usb jig to get you into download mode? If you don't have one look at the thread about jig's on your area.

Indeed you can't access download mode now. But JIG will solve your problems. I had this problem myself 1 year ago and made a JIG.When you connect it, the phone will enter in Download mode. Search here for a tutorial on home-made jig, it takes you less than 10 minutes to make.
Good luck!

So you cannot get into download mode ?
A JIG puts the phone into factory mode which is the same as odin and download mode.
I was forced to make a JIG several months ago.
Good luck.

Problems with internal flash or emmc?

Hi, All
As my phone is rooted and cannot auto upgrade, I flashed it back to stock rom 4.0.4 with ODIN. And it was able to auto upgrade. It auto upgraded to 4.1.1 and worked good. After it downloaded another upgrade package about 8M and began the upgrade process, the gs3 halt during the process after phone rebooting.
After power it on again, the phone stop on logo screen and the display messed up after 1~2 seconds and automatic powered off. When vol-up + power + home was pressed, it was unable to enter the recovery mode. But if I press vol-down + power + home was pressed, it was able to enter the download mode and was able to be detected by ODIN.
I tried to flash it back to stock rom again with ODIN but failed. The stock rom was in four parts with pit, bootloader, pda, phone and CSC.
ODIN showed the following:
<ID:0/014> Set PIT file..
<ID:0/014> DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!!
<ID:0/014> Get PIT for mapping..
<ID:0/014> Firmware update start..
<ID:0/014> sboot.bin
<ID:0/014> NAND Write Start!!
<ID:0/014> FAIL!
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
So I powered the phone off and on again, it was the same. I tried to flash CWM recovery and the ODIN could finish the steps before reboot, but after reboot, the phone stop and ODIN cannot finish the flash process. And I cannot enter recovery with vol-up + power + home. I also tried to flash stock rom in one tar.md5 file, all the same.
I tried to flash the booloader only, and ODIN showed that
<ID:0/014> Firmware update start..
<ID:0/014> sboot.bin
<ID:0/014> NAND Write Start!!
<ID:0/014> FAIL!
while I can flash pit, pda, phone and CSC.
Any suggestions? Thanks!
The version of ODIN is 3.07.
In last post, I said the display is messed up, it really looked like old TV with figures and strips rolling. And after 1~2 seconds, all display disappears and it seemed the phone auto powered off.
Damaged Nand multiple posts on the same subject .
Search or take to a service centre .

finially, i had the emmc replaced. and it works good now.
i find that many people in service center with similiar situation. it seems that the emmc is vulnerable.

[Q] Phone suddenly died - Freezing before it starts up

So my phone was working fine last night before I went to bed, woke up this morning and it was blank. I assumed it was a dead battery so I chucked it on the charger and when I came back to it 30 mins later it still only had the empty battery icon with the wait indicator (But the wait indicator isn't moving at all) and nothing else. When I turn it on it gets to the "Samsung Galaxy SII GT-I9100" screen and remains there. I can't get into recovery mode at all (it just brings up the same frozen SGS II label screen). I can however get into ODIN mode but can't flash anything.
Before it died I was running a rooted stock ICS firmware. I tried removing the SD & SIM just in case it was one of those causing the issue but no additional luck.
I have been very slack and haven't taken a backup of the phone in quite a while and recovery of the files on there is my main objective. If I can't use the phone again I don't care, so long as I can get the files back.
In ODIN mode I tried flashing Siyah and CWM but it fails:

I also tried making a USB Jig to get it into factory load mode but I get the same results. Any file (Bootloader, modem, PDA) that I try to flash hangs at NAND Write Start!!
Phone shows no change at all when the file is being loaded to it, no progress bar etc.
Really hoping someone can help me so I can at least get my files from the device. Is there any way I can remove the internal "SD" card or access it directly from a PC?
Anyone??? I really need to get some files from it.
I do believe that ICS had a hard brick issue... Why were you even using ICS when there's official jelly bean ?!

Code:
*** Trouble Shoot for all Odin Packages... Read below... ***
If your phone is not being recognized by Odin, try the following.
- Use a different USB computer port
- Use a different USB cable
If for some reason Odin does ever give you a FAIL or the process hangs up for more than 5 minutes in one spot then do the following.
- Pull your battery out of your device and leave it out.
- Plug in your device via USB cable and connect it to your computer.
- Then boot into Download Mode (hold 1 on physical keyboard and press power).
- Run the Odin package.
- When completed and you get the Green PASS, you can pop your battery back in and then reboot the phone and you should be good to go.
Note: Some devices have given some trouble and you have to attempt this twice to get it to work. Also make sure all anti virus software is off/disabled. One last option is remove your sdcard if everything else fails.

Samsung Galaxy TAB E SM-T560NU - Custom Binary blocked by FRP (Please help)

I tried to use KingoRoot and apparently it's "bricked" my tablet. I've done lots of reading and I'm stuck, and need help please.
1. I have latest Odin, 3.10.7 from odindownload
2. My tablet is a SM-T560NU, and came with 5.1.1
3. I found a recent image for my exact unit model, and have downloaded it: BNN-T560NUUEU1AOH6-20151215094559
The instructions I have seen everywhere say to launch Odin3, wait for the tablet to connect (it does), load the image into "AP" (I do), and turn ONLY on options "auto reboot" and "F. Reset Time" (which means keep re-partition off, which they stress). When I click start, it goes about 5 minutes, then says this:
<OSM> Enter CS for MD5..
<OSM> Binary Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..
<OSM> Please wait..
<OSM> Checking MD5 finished Sucessfully..

Help, any ideas? I've tried 2 images.. the one I said above, and another for a SM-T560 (non-NU), and both give the exact same above fail in Odin3.
figure anything out? in th eprocess of downloading and fixing my sm-t560nu tablet also.
make sure you have the correct firmware rom, there's sm-t560 and there's sm-t560nu
same problem, rooted it last night with kingroot, worked fine until i turned it off and tried to turn it back on
did it take forever to download your firmware? if not can i ask where you got it from cuz mine is taking 7 hours to download
well i got mine all up and running, if you're in canada you might have the wrong rom file because the one i needed for my samsung galasy tab E "sm-t560nu" the file name started with xac and not bnn, i had to get mine from
samsung-firmware . org
and pay i think it was 5.99 usd, did exactly what it said at the bottom of the page for the instruction in odin and everything worked great but make sure to use the same email account u used originally when your setting up that tablet on its first boot up
was a lil confused since the instructions said to click on ap/pda and there's only ap in odin3 but ap/pda is renamed to just ap in the new odin.
good luck
Loading a new ROM in Odin, although I 100% had correct one, did NOT help. I could try 1000 times, and it wouldn't budge. The trick was a post I found on another site that talked about a recovery mode.... a hard reset.
What I actually had to do was the following:
1. Go into RECOVERY MODE, and do a reset. (Doesn't unbrick, but allows Odin to work)
2. Go into DOWNLOAD mode, and then use Odin to load image.
Here are the steps for both:
Recovery Mode Samsung Galaxy J1 SM-J120F
Turn off the device
Press and hold Volume UP key + Home Key, while pressing these keys then press and hold Power key for a while
Release all key when Android or Samsung logo appear then you will see Android System Recovery
Use Volume keys to select Menu
Use Power key to Confirm
Download Mode or ODIN Mode
Turn off the device
Press and hold Volume Down key + Home Key, while pressing these keys then press and hold Power key for a while
Release all key when you see ODIN Mode / Download Mode
Use Volume Up key to continue
Use Volume Down key to cancel ( Restart the device )
As for firmware, I got mine from (I can't post url's here yet, forum rules) a place called : You Mobile dot Org. ... for free.
Now if we can find a way to actually ROOT it, I'd be thrilled.
Any help on this? i just got this message and waster an hour downloading the firmware, and still stuck with odin.
i dont see anything saying menu in Recovery Mode

This method works best with Odin 3.07 using BNN rom.

First go into recovery mode on tab, then get odin and download image, then use odin to load image into tab using odin and tab in download mode.

kingroot and OEM unlock
use samsung smart switch to fix your SM-T560NU tablet if you used kingroot. I couldn't boot because it said ... "custom binary blocked by FRP" used smart switch it restored the tablet to factory settings. the solution is to unlock developer options and select "OEM unlock" then use king root. king root should warn the user about this issue. Good luck!

Found a copy of firmware on sammobile just register and download. It's super slow if u don't pay but it will finish. Fixed tablet n wife didn't kill me. No more kingroot for that tab. Although kingroot did work for the tab4 that I found in a bush (obviously stolen and ditched cause they couldn't bypass the screen lock)
I have full root, sticks after multiple reboots. I used kingroot, forced it to root, then after de-bloating, unrooted. It has been hanging out in that state for a week while I worked up the nerve to try turning off OEM under development options and telling it to root again, which I did this morning. Is running like a champ now.
Next problem is there is no custom recovery, so I am working to get xposed installed by zip somehow and be able to backup.

You can use Flashfire to install Xposed if you convert to supersu first.
I have been working on TWRP with a tester (I don't own this device) however it doesn't boot yet, I have a feeling I need a permissive kernel, but Samsung have not released the source code yet.

I could not get supersu to install no matter what I do so am stuck for now. Has anyone had any experience using flash Gordon to install zips, or know how to get supersu to install?

use samsung smart switch to fix your SM-T560NU tablet if you used kingroot. I couldn't boot because it said ... "custom binary blocked by FRP" used smart switch it restored the tablet to factory settings. the solution is to unlock developer options and select "OEM unlock" then use king root. king root should warn the user about this issue. Good luck!
