Hey guys
I got the notification that a new update is available for my stock GT-I9300 (Vodafone New Zealand) a few days ago. When I clicked on install it complained because I was on mobile data and so I decided to wait until I am at home. But when I got within range of a wifi it must have automatically downloaded and installed the update, because the next time I pulled the device out of my pocket it was stuck at the initial boot screen.
I have since tried to do a firmware recovery through Kies, which downloaded the firmware and then failed to install it saying that it does not know the device or something along those lines (I unfortunately did not save a screenshot of the exact message). Then I tried Odin, which simply fails with the log output below. I know that this is a ROM for the UK, but I haven't found a ROM for NZ yet and thought that it might work anyway.
The status printed when I go into the recovery mode is a bit strange:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME:
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: No
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
Why is there no product name and why is the system status "custom"? I have only had the phone for three weeks and I have not rooted or flashed it yet.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated

I am trying to install the original firmware through Odin, but I always get the error message shown at the end of my original post. When I try it a second time directly after it failed, then it does not complain about the PIT but instead fails to connect to the COM port:
<ID:0/011> SetupConnection..
<ID:0/011> Can't open the serial(COM) port.

I have gone through the process of taking out the battery, reinserting it, going into download mode, connecting it to all USB ports on my laptop and trying to flash several times now, always with the same result
I am currently downloading another ROM (I9300XXALF6_I9300ITVALF1_ITV). Maybe that'll work...?

Doesn't look like your computer found your phone, remove/reinstall the USB drivers. You can use KIES, click troubleshoot connection, it will reinstall them.
Hope that helps,

P.S> Make sure ODIN is not open when you run KIES and make sure KIES isn't open when you run ODIN.

Odin says "<ID:0/011> Added!!" (or some other port of course) whenever I connect the phone, doesn't that mean that it detected the phone?
I actually did the troubleshoot connection in Kies yesterday and it reinstalled the driver. I have since removed Kies (not the driver) from my computer, as I thought that this might be the reason why Odin fails.
Ok I am getting really desperate, I have spent a large part of the weekend trying to get this to work and still no luck. Any further suggestions would be highly appreciated
I have re-installed the USB driver a few times now and Kies is not installed to make sure that there are no conflicts between ODIN/Kies. I have also found a ROM for Vodafone NZ (I9300XXALE8_I9300VNZALE4_VNZ) which is where I got the phone.
ODIN detects when I plug the phone into my computer, but fails with the following:
<ID:0/011> Get PIT for mapping..
<ID:0/011>
<ID:0/011> There is no PIT partition.
<ID:0/011> Added!!
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
What is the cause for this error and do I need a PIT file and do a re-partition to fix it?
Is it normal that when in download mode, the product name shown on the phone screen is empty?
Thanks!
Your partition table is corrupted. No point trying to fix.
Quickly send to samsung to reflash your phone.
So there is no way I can fix this myself (without risking to make things worse)?
I am not a happy Samsung customer right now, all this time wasted because I installed an official over the air update and who knows how long it'll take to get it fixed...
Thanks for your replies.

You are in a position now where further repairs by yourself are even more likely to end up with no warranty .
Phone broke during official update return under warranty .
Flashing other firmwares risks invalidating warranty .

Dear all there is a good news for all of you about SIII product name blank now it can be consider under warranty as Samsung policy.
Ok. So, today my gt-i9300 started working. I was using the Resurrection Remix rom 3.1.4 on my phone. Suddenly i wanted to check what's the time and the phone was one, the led was blipping but the phone wasn't working. I restarted it and app after app was crashing, whatsapp couldn't find the conversations, viber wasn't signed in, also the contacts weren't all found. I restarted it again, signed into viber, restored some contacts and i wanted also to restore my messages. I did it and it stopped again and i tried to restart again. Once i did, IT IS STUCK AT THE Samsung Galaxy S III GT-I9300 logo. I don't even know if this is a bootloop and how to fix it. Please help me guys, i really need it!!! And also if it's possible to save what's on my phone so i can put it back on the new software or something? How do to that?

If you can get in to recovery restore the backup you should have made before you installed the rom. can you get in to download mode?

Hey, you can enter download mode right? if yes you can flash stock firmware via odin or if you can have a access to recovery. how about to wipe data, cache and dalvik cache. it might or might not working. Have a try.
Yes, I can access download mode. So I should just flash the original firmware for the country i live in with odin by just putting it in the bootloader section and that's it?
Ok, what the hell, i download the stock firmware for my i9300 and when i'm flashing it with odin 3.04 i get this:
<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..
<OSM> Please wait..
<OSM> I9300XXEMA2_I9300TNLMA2_I9300BOLK3_HOME.tar.md5 is valid.

It happened when the .tar file was on pda and now on phone, and it's staying like this for 10 minutes without doing something....WTH?!?!? PLEASE HELP!!!!!

chill. are you sure your downloaded firmware is not corrupted? put the .tar file at pda. i suggest you to look at ultimate guide there. it will assist you from A-Z
The file is not corrupted, it's download from sammobile.com, that's the thing. I will download it again and try again maybe it will work. Thanks
So, what to do in case the flashing thing doesn't work on my phone? maybe specialised service center would help or something, pls pls i need solutions!!!
Nono, don't put it in the bootloader field, put it in PDA field.
Seems like a driver issue, reinstall drivers and uninstall Kies, try a different cable, port, OS, pc

How do you know its not corrupted ???

Guys I need a little help ... my friend's phone (SGS3) can't boot , it just shows the samsung logo (logo begore bootanimation) .
can't enter recovery , but can enter download mode .
I tried to flash it with odin and it success ,, but the phone doesn't boot ??????
As far as I know the problem is with bootloaders . How to flash them ??
I'm very new with samsung , in LG devices we use a completely other tools .
Thanks on advance .

echo "Sender.product.model=LG-P880" # (O4X) .
if [ $thanks -eq $pressed ] ; then
thanks_meter=$((${thanks_meter} + 1)) ; fi #Press it
I'd the flash was successful then boot to stock recovery and do factory reset, then it should boot
Note that this will wipe data AND internal sd card
Ok so i tried again to flash the stock jelly bean back and in odin it shows me like this:

The part where it says there's no pit partition worries me most. What should I do in this case, I really want to fix my phone? Should I flash the software again and tick "Re-partition''?
May help.

How it started:
A pop message appears asking to format the phone, I accidentally hit okay, after 10 seconds I realized it, I immediately stopped the process by hitting the back button which caused my phone to go blank screen and freeze. so I pressed and hold power button, and the phone shuts off turns back on then it get stuck on the Samsung Logo/screen and won't go through no matter how long I wait.
So with that said I may have corrupted my Operating System so I went online to try to look for solutions to recover my Note.
i have downloaded Odin v1.85 and v3.07
i have downloaded the latest OS Jellybean from samsung:

okay thank you i am reading it now.
i will report back with the outcome.
thanks once again.
okay before i go further if you look at my attachment
first box says "MODEM"
is this normal?
i saw a vid on youtube shows "SYSTEM"
I have read your guide and installed the latest samsung USB driver
I rebooted my computer opened ODIN as admin
followed instructions and i am back to my original post
i think it has something to do with the fact mine shows "MODEM"
this is what i'm talking about.
the difference is on this pic it shows "SYSTEM"
while mine says "MODEM"
does that mean my phone can no longer be recovered?
Am I missing something here? seems like I have a more technical issue/problem other than common Odin problems.
any help would be appreciated.

Are you using the same .tar everytime?
Try another package and see what happens.
Or... just flash a twrp.tar and just flash a custom Rom on that thing.

are you running Odin as admin?
as long as you can still get into download mode and have odin recognize you, you are in good shape. Dont do something to put yourself in qualcomm download mode. Else, you will be sending your phone to be jtagged. . .
In my guide it mentioned trying different cables and cleaning the usb port.
Have you taken those steps?

I have a Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 running the Samsung Stock 4.1.2 ROM.
It was rooted and I tried to flash CWM Recovery using Mobile Odinbut as soon as I did that the only thing that now appears when I try to boot the phone is the initial black screen with the "Samsung Galaxy SIII GT-I9300" words.
I cannot get into Recovery mode.
I can get in to download mode but no matter what I try with Odin it sticks at setupconnection. I have used Odin to try and re flash CWM to try and get back into Recovery mode but get stuck at setupconnection.
I have used Odin to try and re flash the stock ROM but again get stuck at setupconnection.
I get this whether I try using Odin on my laptop or my desktop PC
I did wonder if this would happen if my battery charge was low so I plugged the phone in the charger to see what the battery level was when it appeared but the battery will not appear and again I see only the words "Samsung Galaxy SIII GT-I9300" on the black background.
Can anyone suggest a way out of this?
Thanks

Which version of ODIN did you use? What kind of file(s) were you trying to flash?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk
I'm not sure but think it was Mobile Odin 3.65 and I was trying to flash CWM touch from xda.
Additionally, I think my battery charge may now be low after many attempts to recover it but will that matter bearing in mind I'm using Odin on my PC and the phone is connected to the PC by USB cable?
One flash Philz recovery and format system data cache and sd card .
Two check your USB drivers for Odin and make sure Kies is not running .
What do you mean Odin sticks at setup connection ??
If its before flashing its drivers or try another version of Odin .

Kies is not installed on my computer and I have tried Odin versions 1.83, 1.85, 3.04, 3.06, 3.07 and 3.09.
I have also tried 'Samsung_USB_Drivers_1.5.27.0.exe' and 'SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones.exe' and remembering to uninstall then reboot and then install.
On one occasion it got as far as (can't remember the exact words) "Get PIT Mapping" but then just stopped there.
I cannot believe I have done anything other than corrupt the CWM recovery because all I did was try to flash CWM Touch and as soon as I pressed OK the screen went black with the word "Samsung Galaxy SIII GT-I9300". Those words just stay there because since then I can't switch the phone off. I thought that if I just reflashed CWM via Odin on my computer I would be able to get back into recovery mode and just restore my backup.
Appears I am mistaken and have ruined a very new and vey expensive phone.
The only other thing I seem to recall is that before I tried the Mobile Odin flash the battery was below 50% charge but I'm not sure if that's relevant?
This is usually a wrong file flash symptom .

Do you mean I'm trying to flash something I shouldn't?
Initially I tried to flash CWM Recovery but then decided just to try and get it back the way it was by trying to flash Android 4.1.2 again.
The file I have been using is "KIES_HOME_I9300XXEMG4_I9300OXAEMG4_1314436_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5" which I believe is from Sammobile and which is, I believe again, the ROM that the Galaxy S3 comes pre-installed with. Do you think it worthwhile me trying some other ROM?
I have been doing a lot more web research and some say that the battery charge should be more than 80%. Does this matter?
Won't the battery have been charging all the while the phone was plugged into into the Computer via the USB lead?
If I buy a separate charger and charge my battery to 100% do you think the Odin reflash will work then?

I have a Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 running the Samsung Stock 4.1.2 ROM.
It was rooted and I tried to flash CWM Recovery using Mobile Odinbut as soon as I did that the only thing that now appears when I try to boot the phone is the initial black screen with the "Samsung Galaxy SIII GT-I9300" words.
I cannot get into Recovery mode.
I can get in to download mode but no matter what I try with Odin it sticks at setupconnection. I have used Odin to try and re flash CWM to try and get back into Recovery mode but get stuck at setupconnection.
I have used Odin to try and re flash the stock ROM but again get stuck at setupconnection.
I get this whether I try using Odin on my laptop or my desktop PC
I did wonder if this would happen if my battery charge was low so I plugged the phone in the charger to see what the battery level was when it appeared but the battery will not appear and again I see only the words "Samsung Galaxy SIII GT-I9300" on the black background.
Can anyone suggest a way out of this?
Thanks

Succes....
The end
Okay, I started this thread so will end it now as follows:
1 Thank you to all those who offered help/advice/suggestions.
1a Some people do not read posts properly because even though I had specifically stated that I could not get into recovery mode some people proceeded to tell me to go into recovery mode and restore my rom.
2 Whilst I have recovered the full use of my phone I can no longer root it but that's ok because at least I have a phone that is comparable to the vast majority who choose not to root.
3 I will explain how I rescued it but obviously I don't really understand what the result is other than a usable phone so please don't copy.
4 Whilst I have no doubt one could damage a motherboard, that could only be done with very specialist software that most people would not have so the advice of some that I needed a new motherboard was ill informed. If you don't know the answer don't offer an unhelpful answer. Recommending a new motherboard is like a motorist taking his car into a garage with a blown fuse and the mechanic saying the only cure is a new car.
5 After a lot of research I found one lone website that explained that from July 2013 Samsung introduced a change to their ROMs which introduced an efs 2 file. Additionally it appears that once you have flashed/upgraded to an efs2 ROM you cannot then go back to an efs ROM.
6 This is above my understanding but I do know I did go from efs to efs2 and when I then encountered a problem I thought it a good idea to go back to my original (efs) ROM which I now believe caused my problem.
7 I did not know if I had found the answer but as I believed my phone was a paperweight at that point anyway I had nothing to lose and downloaded the GT-I9300.pit file and flashed with repartition selected. I then flashed Android 4.3 knowing it would be an efs2 ROM and my phone is now working again.
8 However, although my phone is now working again, I find that I cannot install a custom recovery nor can I root the phone but that is a small price to pay to have a brand new S3 working again.
9 Whilst it may not be wise to mess about with the pit file, it seems nothing can be lost to give it a go because even if it doesn't work you can still go for the new motherboard option happy in the knowledge you have tried everything.
10 I may start a new thread for advice on that matter but for the time being I'm just relieved to have my phone back and I stress again that it did work for my specific problem and whilst it might work for you please only do it knowing it may not work for your problem.
Hey there everyone
I'd be thankfull of someone could bring me some help with this problem. My phone has gone throw many shutdowns, in which somehow, the problem always solved itself, being that I left it charging the whole night, or that I tryed it out after a few days.
I own a Samsung Galaxy Y Pro since a couple of years now, and last night, while I was checking on my WhatsApp, it turned off itself. It usually happens, and annoys me, but turning it on again solves it... most of the times.
Now it didn't want to fully start. It got stuck at the black screen with the Samsung typography. I tryed to do a factory reset, and it only worsened the trouble. It froze at
-- Wiping dat...
Formating /data.
I left it like that a couple of hourse with no progress. I tryed to turn on the phone normally, but now it always takes me to that menu. I'm stuck, and it's the only way I can communicate with my family, so I beg someone of you to help me out, please.
I don't have any knowledge about Odin or sorts, nor programs to deal with the problem. So I'd ask if someone could explain me step by step what to do (or direct me to the thread where the troubleshooting is explained).
If you need some answers about my phone to understand the situation, I'll answer happily.
Thanks for reading this, and hope you have a nice day <3
have you rooted your phone?

Hey there and thanks for answering!
My phone won't turn on normally, so I can't get the Triangle Away nor sync it with Odin. If I plug the USB to my phone at my computer, Odin won't recognize it neither. Any idea of what to do?
Have you installed latest driver? http://goo.gl/jzrFmO
Have you put your phone into download mode?
Hey there broke920!
Yes, the phone is now on downlaod mode, and the drivers you gave me made Odin regonize my phone (thank you!). How should I proceed?
You need to do this:
1) unzip rom file to obtain tar/tar.md5 file
2) click on PDA and select tar/tar.md5 file
3) click on START
It's throwing me this error.

I am using Odin v3.07 and the rom that konohanz posted up there.
I don't know if this could help, but this is on the downloading screen on my phone.
PRODUCT NAME: GT-B5510L
CUSTOM BIN DOWN: NO (0 counts)
CURRENT BIN: SAMSUNG OFFICIAL.
Also, now when trying to access the phone normally, it shows an icon of an android, a box, and an arrow. Please help me out
Try with another version of Odin like 1.85 or 3.09 and disable antivirus software.
Both of them throw me the same error.
I may add that I think I messed up with the PIN. So maybe if I get that right, it will work out.
if may i suggest you try this one :
1. download latest philz recovery here https://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/i9300/philz_touch_6.48.4-i9300.tar.md5/
2. make your phone to download mode
3. plug device then open odin you had
4. choose pda and open philz_touch_6.48.4-i9300.tar.md5
5. click start
if work you may flash rom that i use now here http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/development/rom-neatromlite-themed-aroma-mods-t2060403
download v7.9 and then flash it with philz_touch recovery and all will be normal, even better than the original stock rom you'll see :fingers-crossed:
Thanks everyone for your answers! I solved the problem, educating myself with the Odin program through the help that konohanz and broken920 gave me. Flashing with Odin worked, thanks to you two for the quick and accurate answers!
great job dude, you're welcome :victory:
