[Q] Samsung galaxy s3 soft bricked. I need help! - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I was trying to root my galaxy s3 and I did the wrong root and it messed it up. I'm stuck on a screen that says "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mod in kies and try again." I can go to downloading mode but not recovery mode. Please help!!!

Flash a stock firmware with Odin, if it succedes then boot into recovery and factory reset.
Flashing the wrong root file is usually fatal, either to the screen or motherboard so best of luck.

SGH-t999

[Q] Am I facing a brick? (can't read sdcard in CWM)

Hi experts, I need your urgent help, I've been dragging this today with no solution.
First my s3 showed a "cannot read sdcard" when I tried to flash the Temasek v.22 update. The phone was trapped in a loop and I at least I could enter recovery.
I though it was a recovery problem and I flashed a new recovery (6.0.1.9.) via ODIN. The result was the phone stucked in the "Samsung Galaxy s III" logo and I cannot even access to the CWM.
The last thing I've tried was flashing a Stock ROM via Odin but it did fail. The only menu I can enter now is the Download Mode.
Does anybody know if I'm bricked or what I should do to solve it?
Thanks
i suggest installing stock rom via odin, flash recovery and than install rom.
Im afraid your hp might be bricked.
Ok lets do some checks.
Go to download mode and see whether the brand name '' i9300'' is there.. If yes, there is hope...

[Q] Download Mode Recovery Issue

Hello, I wanted to add my previous Issue I had before running into this problem.
I currently need to fix a issue ASAP as I am selling my s3 soon. I tried to unroot my s3 and reset it to factory settings but flashed the Verizon firmware on my phone and not the international version firmware. The flash failed in Odin and now I am stuck at a screen saying the Firmware upgrade encountered an error. Please try again. I tried to go into download and recovery mode multiple times and cannot do so. I assume is bricked or soft bricked? Can I use a usb jig to get into download mode?

After purchasing a USB JIG, I can now get into Download mode, but the issue is every time I try to install a stock firmware, I am stuck in Recovery mode. The binary count on the phone says "18", but I am not sure if that has anything to do with it. Please help, thank you. My phone is the I9300.
So the stock ROM installs without errors?
Have you done a factory reset from recovery afterwards?
This should be fixable unless the firmware you flashed also included a bootloader

No, the stock ROM cannot install, every time I try to install the ROM, it gets stuck in Odin says "Recovery". I cannot get into the phone because it will still show the firmware error if I unplug the usb jig from the usb download mode.
Have you tried Kies if you want to return to stock, start Kies and go to Tools > Firmware Upgrade and Installation
Follow the instructions on the screen, this is supposed to completely reset the phone and install the latest firmware version for that phone

I was able to use the Emergency firmware recovery in Samsung Kies when the same thing happened to me by going into the the Download Mode and plugging my phone in with Kies on.
However, that only worked once out ff the 3 times i had boot problems due to errors when flashing.
What worked every time is flashing stock firmware using Odin. Here is a link to the stock firmware collection -

Read the stickies in general forum, try the solutions in the thread you resurrected, plenty of options instead of just asking for a solution.
any fix was found for this.. tried the one that said to remove power butto and it did not work. could boot into recovery and stay there do not shut down or for odin mode.

First, don't panic.
IMO you have a corrupted firmware package file.

Flash back to stock with Odin and don't forget to factory reset after flashing or you could even try flashing PhilZ recovery with odin boot into PhilZ after flashing and factory reset see if that works if not flash stock and start again.

Quite possible but have you tried all the options first like (1) flashing back to stock with Odin also if you have flashed back to stock with Odin did you factory reset after flashing? (2)rescue firmware (only use as last resort because it containes a pit file)

Hi tallman just got my SIII back from samsung service center, they said ther is an I C not working, but now justried to flash philz recover Odin failed to ans it says something non Pit file something like that.
If an IC isn't working then pay for the repair or buy a new phone, flashing won't fix a dead chip.
