S3 brick on boot - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone,
I have a problem with my galaxy s3!
It crashes on startup screen "Samsung Galaxy s3, i9300" and it does not go into recovery or in download mode.
I tried it with jig and I was able to go into download mode but when I try to flash the firmware, Odin gives me error.
if I try to flash the full firmware this:
Code:
<ID:0/021> Added!!
<ID:0/021> Odin v.3 engine (ID:21)..
<ID:0/021> File analysis..
<ID:0/021> SetupConnection..
<ID:0/021> Initialzation..
<ID:0/021> Get PIT for mapping..
<ID:0/021>
<ID:0/021> There is no PIT partition.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
advise anyone know how I can solve my problem?

SG S3 won't boot

Guys
I flashed a ROM from Spain using Odin (I9300XXDLIH, 4.2.1 from Samfirmware) into my S3 (GT-I9300 bought in Brazil) and it works by 1 month. Then my phone starts to crash or boot by itself and finally it stop boot into Samsung screen.
I have access to Download screen, but I have NO access to recovery screen.
Now, I tried to flash a new ROM and Odin says that it has no partition. The phone doesn’t charge anymore (I need to charge using a friend’s phone).
I tried flash an old version (4.0.4) but every time I get “no PIT partition” from Odin. I also tried to flash from different version of Odin and same results.
Is there any way to solve this without getting a Service Center? Here in Brazil is difficult to find JTAG service, so I need some home solution.
Thanks and sorry for my English.
Hi, mines went exactly the same as that last week, tried everything possible software wise. sent it to samsungs ext service centre in scotland. i still dont know fr sure if there goni fix it under warranty as in download mode it says official Rom but it also says custom system. Theyve had it since last tuesday and on the repair status it still says "Acknowledge(ASC)"
heres hoping, and i hope u get urs sorted

Hi spamtrash,
As I can understand, that thread is to prevent. Now I need to recovery.
I just tried to flash a new ROM again, and I get the following:
<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..
<OSM> Please wait..
<OSM> I9300UBDLJ1_I9300UBDLI2_I9300ZTODLJ2_HOME.tar.md5 is valid.
<OSM> Checking MD5 finished Sucessfully..
<OSM> Leave CS..
<ID:0/009> Odin v.3 engine (ID:9)..
<ID:0/009> File analysis..
<ID:0/009> SetupConnection..
<ID:0/009> Can't open the serial(COM) port.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
This is the first time I get that. The SetupConnection took a lot of time.
I tried to flash PIT file (do not know if it is the right PIT) and get Fail instant.
Any other help. Thanks to all.
Edit:
Now, I turned off and on again and tried to flash the same ROM:
<OSM> I9300UBDLJ1_I9300UBDLI2_I9300ZTODLJ2_HOME.tar.md5 is valid.
<OSM> Checking MD5 finished Sucessfully..

<ID:0/009>
<ID:0/009> There is no PIT partition.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
It says no PIT partition.
Finally, I tried a PIT:

<ID:0/009> File analysis..
<ID:0/009> SetupConnection..
<ID:0/009> Initialzation..

any suggestion
Anyone flashing a PIT file unless 100% correct is asking for trouble .
Buy a new motherboard .
jje
if theres an error in the emmc flashing the original pit file is unduly. the first thing you need is to flashing recovery to see if its working or not then there solutions such as blocking or disabling the corrupted areas in the emmc chip.
Guys,
Thanks for helping but I guess the phone is briked. I will trie the service center.

what was the rom before flashing? and what is the f/w that you are flashing now?
i got this phone from my friend and he is noob ..he tried to flash a rom but dont know which on..right now im flashing KIES_HOME_I9300XXEMB5_I
NAND might be damaged or partition struture damaged/corrupt.
Try this rescue firmware:

If that doesn't work you'll probably need a service centre.

[Q] Odin: Stuck at NAND Write Start

Hey everyone
Having read many threads on this issue I would appreciate help for my specific case. I got a defective device from a friend that wouldn't start anymore (introductory Samsung animation was playing repeatedly). I then tried to flash "GT-I9100_JB_ClockworkMod-Recovery_6.0.2.9" to eventually install CM 10.1.3 and then factory reset to make sure the brick bug is not an issue. However, I was not able to flash CWM, because it gets stuck at "NAND Write Start" and eventually fails (see below). Interestingly, I flashed another i9100 flawlessly only a few days ago with the exact same setting. Nonetheless I tried different Odin versions as well as different usb ports and cables.
I have no idea what kind of kernel or android version was running on the device and I can now only get into download mode.
When reading this guide I came across two problems. First, flashing a kernel - some other thread recommended "Siyah-s2-v5.0.1" - was unsuccessful. Second, I wasn't sure if I should try to flash the ICS version mentioned in this thread.
Some mentioned falling back to flashing PIT-files, but because recovery mode is not available, I cannot use the "emmc partition scanner" to identify the correct PIT-file to flash.
I would really like to save this device, so someone else may enjoy using it again in the future. Thanks in advance for any help!
Cheers

Reinstalling Android 5.0.1 With Odin3 v3.09 on S4

Hi guys, massive noob when it comes to phones.
My mother got a s4 which is locked to a specific carrier, me thinking a reinstall of android will fix the problem just finds a online way of doing it and managed to break it....
now I cant boot it back up normally and the recovery screen doesn't boot, only the download screen does.
This is what I'm doing. As you can see that re-partition is unchecked but it tried to re-partition anyway. Please help.
