HELP! Dead S3 - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
My partner has a S3 which is unrooted, it stated it needed to restart as something went wrong (partner says) she rebooted and not its stuck on the samsung boot screen.
I cant boot to recovery although I can get into the vol down menu, it currently downloading custom os i think.
I am a big HTC fan so I am confident with flasking and such so can someone point me in the right direction for a fix
Been on Odin it saying There is not PIT partition
Thanks!

[Q] No radio after odin please help!

Ok guys I'm super new to this and have been searching all day. I got a Nexus S with Videotron here in Canada. It is the I9020T I made the mistake of trying to root it which brought me to the google logo loop.
I then panicked and followed the unrooting process to fix the phone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1088494
When I ran Odin with the package supplied the Radio failed.
The phone will now boot up, however, the signal bar is grey'd out with an x which I'm assuming is because I have no radio.
I should also mention my phone is 3g and the odin package is 4g which I'm assuming is one of the reasons it did not work.
I would just like to know what to do to bring the whole thing back to stock. I have tried the bootloader recovery but it just gives me the android guy with a triangle and an exclamation point inside.
I have also tried factory reset and another odin package which just hangs.
Could someone please tell me exactly what to do as this is a work phone, and I'm in a lot of trouble if I can't fix it.
I beg you please help before work tomorrow!!
Thanks guys,
Chris

[Q] hang on a boot screen... same in recovery mode

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to search my problem around but cannot find any thread about this, sorry if I missed out something.
I'm using GT-I9100 for a year now, I was using custom rom Hydra-H2o. Today, I updated rom to version 1.4.1... the process was fine. When I booted up, set things done, I found the contact information was really really wrong, it kept updating wrong photos to wrong contacts.
So I decided to factory restore in the setting menu. The phone was rebooted and struct in the boot screen that has its name "Samsung Galaxy SII GT-I9100" and an ordinary yellow triangle.
Even charging my phone, a battery icon is loading and nothing appear to show me how much juice I have.
I tried to boot to recovery mode, still the same as normal boot. The only boot that is working is download mode.
Please help me, this phone is my buddy
Thanks
Ok you can get download mode, get a stock Rom, flash using Odin
If it boot loops, go to recovery and wipe data cache.

Soft briked or hard briked

Hi all.
I have already posted my problem in this thread which I have read to the end ( [GUIDE] Fix an unflashable or soft bricked I9100G )
but was not able to get any solution so I'm starting a new thread hopefully someone might be able to help me and sorry if I was not suppose to start a new thread.
My problem is as follows and hope that someone can help.
I have downloaded odin mobile and installed it on my S2 I9100 G which previously had CM 10 installed on it and I wanted to flash the official firmware using Odin mobile. I did run it and then the phone prompted me for M5 or Md5 that was detected and should click yes to verify before flashing. I clicked yes then it started verifying and when it was done it rebooted and then was stuck on the (Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-19100G black screen) and did not want to move. I waited for an hour and a half and nothing happened. When I removed the battery (I could not reset or do anything else) and put it back, the phone turned on by itself and stayed still on the starting screen (Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-19100G black screen)
Now I'm not being able to put it in recovery nor download mode.
Can any one help and anyone knows if the jtag dongle can actually force it to go to download mode even at this stage
Thanks in advance for any suggestion
Ok thank you guys. I think I was able to fix it and revive my phone.
go to service centre they solve your problem

[Q] Recovery is is download mode

i545-vrufng6 is rooted and apparently i deleted something that i shouldnt have because while in the operating system all i get is the process com.google.process.gapps has stoped making it virtually impossible to do anything. I flashed my rom with with twrp and now my recovery console is stuck in download mode and boots up with a custom unlocked padlock. I am lost as to what to do with this thing and have been struggling with it since friday evening. I have access to odin and adb-fast boot but i cant get into recovery mode to do a hard reset, load a new rom, or anything else. My wife has ordered a new replacement phone but i know i cant send it back to verizon like this. honestly i should have done more research before i started doing what i have but now i really just need some helpful advice. thanks guys and gals for any help

[Q] Galaxy S2 GT-I9100 hard bricked

Hi guys, I`m new to this forum and I wouldn`t be posting this topic if I found a solution on other forums. If anyone had a problem like mine, or saw a thread before, I would appreciate if you pasted a link to the solution, or gave some kind of advice.
First of all, I`m new to rooting, custom roms, etc., so I guess that whatever I did, it was my fault. I got this Galaxy S2 (GT-I9100) as a gift, and since i already had a phone, I wanted to take a risk and take a shot at installing a lollipop rom. I watched a few tutorials, it seemed simple enough, so i thought why the hell not, but in the process something went wrong...
Sooo... here is what I`ve done:
1.) Rooted my phone with VROOT
2.) Flashed custom recovery with ODIN. I`m not sure which version of CWM it was, 6.0.4.5 I think (the file is named CWM KitKar compatible-I9100). When I flashed CWM, my phone didn`t boot up. All I got was a Samsung Galaxy logo and a yellow triangle for a few seconds before my screen went black again, but I could still access both recovery mode and download mode using the combination of keys.
3.) And then I did what I think screwed up my phone. I thought maybe flashing a lollipop rom through recovery would solve the issue (maybe the recovery is incopatible with my older stock rom and it`s the reason why my phone isn`t booting). So i flashed CM12 from galaxys2root.com. It`s called CM12.1S ROM for Galaxy S2 GT-I9100 (Andorid 5.1)
Not only it didn`t solve my problem, I still can`t get my phone to boot (now I get a samsung logo and a yellow triangle, but screen doesn`t go black after a few seconds, I left it in this state till the battery ran out and still nothing). And on the top of all things, I can`t get my phone to recovery mode anymore, all I get is the yellow triangle. I can still get it into download mode, but it doesn`t connect with my PC anymore. It charges, but I can`t connect it with ODIN anymore. And the weirdest thing is, when I connect it to PC, my other USB port goes crazy and disconnect my USB Wi-Fi adapter
What went wrong? Any advice is highly anticipated. :good:
