[Q] I9300 Root Problem - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I have root my Samsung 9300I phone cf-auto-root-i9300 by ODIN v.3.0.7 .While rooting procesess Odin says RESET then it reset my phone than i have shutdown my phone before ODIN "PASS" text showed. Then i have installed CWM latest version with ODIN. I have open CWM and wipe all data after then try to install HD Revulotion ROM but its says bad error. Installing can not be contiune. I think rooting is not done properly because CWM saying rooting is missing. So i cant do anything because i have no OS all of my data wiped. I have stucked. What i have to do ?
Please help.

Try using older ODIN version or search for CF-Root-SGS3-v6.3 version of root.
Alsoyou mount it as on PDA button?

(Another) root problem

HI,
I have a P7510 that had Overcome 3.2 ROM (that i rooted without problem). Some days ago, I decide to update to Samsung 4.0.4 original UK firmware. I use ODIN and the tablet are working as expected. I didn´t do any wipe and the programs wasn´t lost.
But I´m trying to get root, but I can´t flash the CWM with ODIN. I try several tar files indicated for P7510, for ICS and other olders and I can´t get the option to boot into CWM download mode. I try ROM manager, but no way Because this, I can´t flash the root zip.
Is this happen because I didnt do any wipe or factory reset ?
Is there any way to get root in this case ?
Thanks

[Q] Stuck at boot logo after root

Hello.
I have a GT-i9305 andI tried the rooting by following the instructions at http://galaxys3root.com/ on my Ubuntu laptop with heimdall.
I managed to install the recovery and also flash the cwm zip. I saw som problems related to /cache/ so I wiped cache and after that I have not been able to get past boot logo. I hav ealso tried flashing a custom rom and doing a factory reset and wipe dalvik cache bu
t it did not help. I have tried Odin and flashing from a .tar.md5 file but it results in FAIL.
I can reach both download mode and recovery but that is all.
Please help, I need my phone.
did you use a i9300 method on your i9305? you've probably killed the phone.
flash a stock ROM via Odin (i9305 one) and factory reset from recovery. if that doesn't help - send it to Samsung.
And this is the i9300 section, you're in the wrong place
Thanks.
I got back to stock. I will try to use the i9305 method.
Mount /sdcard not possible
Wel, I have the same problem.
Samsung SIII International version. After installing a new rom (believe it was "jellybam-v6.1.0_i9300-STABLE.zip") but I am not sure, the phone boots only to the original logo and then the screen goes black. Nothing more.
I can get into recovery mode and download mode so I tried several recovery versions (CWM, TEAMWIN, latest ClockworModRecovery v 6.0.2.8.) and several ROM.
No mater what I install, I get the same results. Boot phone and it hangs after the standard Samsung logo.
I was able to find out "/sdcard" could not be mounted. All the recovery programs I used with the option "mount unmount" reporting the same "/sdcard could not be mount" error.
Formatting /sdcard all so won't work.
I am thinking installing a new kernel but I have some difficulties in finding witch one will work with my phone?
Any suggestions or help is really appreciated b/c I have no idea what to do next.
Samsung I9300
Win 7
Latest USB drivers from Samsung installed
No Kies installed.
Odin3_v3.07 installed.
Using Odin I flashed:
CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4.tar
recovery-cwmtouch-6.0.2.8-GTI9300.tar
recovery-stock-dlj4-GTI9300.tar
recovery-stock-blg9-GTI9300.tar
And a few more.
Due to being unable to acces the phone installing a zip file is not possible. Using "installing a rom from zip, or sdcard" from recovery is not possible.
I tried installing a file using sideload but was not succesfull. I can get the phone in receiving a file from sideload but was unable to send a file from the PC.
Thanx in advance
you have to do a factory reset after flashing a new rom
Did wipe/clear/factory set etc every time just to find the phone goes black after the Samsung logo.
One particular thing: I can see the /sdcard in some recovery programs but can't modify it.
How can I transfer a zip file using Sideload?
I can get into "download a file using Sideload" on my phone but what should I do to get a zip file transferred. Maybe then I can use "install from zip" from a recovery.
Update Problem solved (for me) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2162908
I flashed the 9305 firmware from here http://www.samfirmware.com/ in Odin then I was back to stock.
Then I rooted the phone by this instruction.

I have not tried a custom rom but I think it should work.

[Q] System Crash

Hello Guys...
I was trying to install BotBrew on my samsung Galaxy S3 and it didn't work. While i was unistalling the app the phone crashed and now the system looks dead.
I entered recovery mode (TWRP) and i can access about everything, but there aren't no more files under directory like "system" and "data".
I tried connect odin by the recovery with the option "mount usb drive" but odin doesn't find the phone.
What can i do now?
My phone settings:
JellyBean 4.2 Stock, ROOTED
Stock Kernel
TWRP v2.4.4.0
Do you have I9300 ??
Restore your Nandriod backup as first option .
jje
The problem is that i don't have a nandroid backup, i lost it with the PC formatting and forgot to make another one :crying:
Can you enter in Download Mode using 3 buttons combo?
If yes, connect to odin and flash a stock firmware
Yes i could.
But anyway i installed Cyanogenmod with the recovery and it works...
I don't know why i didn't remember that odin need the "Download Mode" and not the Recovery, well I'm a noob!
Thank you anyway guys!
EDIT:
It's gone again...
I set it in Donwload Mode and flash the official rom to get it back. ANd now it doesn't boot, keep on screen "Samsung".
yes, you need to do a factory reset from recovery for it to boot

Try factory reset but you may have to reflash your firmware with Odin.
Make sure your cwm is the latest version.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Reboot to recovery and try to re-root manually or via ODIN with chainfire cf-root.
I think you need to re-flash root via Odin
