So this happened this morning, I noticed my phone was rebooting and thought it was a bit strange. Now it just gets to the 'Samsung Galaxy SIII' logo and restarts. I have a UK i9300 16Gb on Orange, and I did replace the screen myself when I broke it - but that was about 6 months ago. Please don't say that's related :angel:
When in Odin / Download mode it shows the product name - am I right in thinking that this means that there's hope yet? The flash counter shows 1, which is correct. The last two fields show 'custom'.
I've tried flashing a newly downloaded stock firmware from Sammobile but it fails when it gets to start writing the NAND. I've tried flashing a PIT (yes, for my exact model) but that also fails. I'm getting this:

I'm currently on hold to Orange to see what they can do. Obviously I'm not going to tell them about the rooting, self-repairing business but I'll see what they say. If I can fix it myself and avoid the delay of having to send it away I'd much rather do that.
Thanks in advance dudes.
Sounds like NAND failure, you've already tried all the recommended fixes (correct version of odin?) -new motherboard required.
Hmm, what are the different versions of Odin? I just figured the latest revision number would be the most reliable.
Just tried flashing Clockworkmod Recovery to try and get recovery mode working again - same problem.
So I had my verizon s4 on Hyperdrive 18. I decided to switch to something else because I would randomly get busy signals when calling people, when they could call me fine, and was not successful in diagnosing that problem. Tried flashing Blackbox 3.2.3 through safestrap (this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...m-blackbox-3-2-2-vzw-black-apps-aosp-t2835282) but got a bootloop. Decided to go back to stock since I couldn't access safestrap through odin as is done here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2578209
I downloaded the full wipe emergency repair and the PIT to go along with it, followed the instructions in odin 3.09, but get write errors like so:

So what do I do? Get another tar from somewhere else? I can't find any other tars to download, surge recommends sextape's nc2 tar but can't find a dl link anywhere. Androidfilehost is down right now too and no one seems to mirror anything :/ Any help is appreciated.
Edit: I think I solved it and got back to stock verizon nc5. Followed this guide: http://www.androidrootz.com/2013/06/how-to-unroot-unbrick-galaxy-s4.html and so far everything seems to be working fine. The tar I used for odin was from sammobile.com, you have to register to download.
My mom broke her Galaxy S III (T-Mobile SGH-T999) somehow. Overnight, it just randomly stopped working and won't boot past the logo screen. I tried getting into recovery mode, but every time I actually get it to say "recovery booting," it immediately vibrates and then goes back to logo cycling and won't let me do anything in recovery. I can, however, get it into Odin mode, so I tried going into it and flashing the firmware with Odin 3.10.6. Every time I do, I get the big red FAIL and it throws this error:

Did you try Odin older versions ?

could you give me more details?
Which version/firmware you're trying to flash via Odin?
Which version/firmware did phone have when it "died" ?
Did phone have USB Debugging enabled?
Ive been having the problem since i rooted it via iroot on my phone.
its a note 4, SM-N910F. Ive tried many things to get it out of the loop for example hard reseting it via recovery mode but everytime i try it the page dosnt show up it goes to download mode and with an error saying couldnt boot normal mode.
ive tried to download stock firmware and flash it via odin but everytime i try that it gives me an error, i dont know if its the wrong firmware i downloaded or its the phone itself. on sammobile i couldnt find the firmware i was looking for because i live in australia and there is no international one available,if anyone could help me out it would be greatly appreciated.
This is the error message from Odin

i forgot to mention this but when i tried to fastboot it happened, that was the problem that caused it to go in a boot loop
my s3(i9305) is stuck in download mode with stock recovery on it and ive got odin, but i cant get any stock roms booted on it, cant get onto the phone, and it dont have any working firmware on it...i just want to put it back to stock asap and get the dam thing working again.
any help would be great!!
What output are you getting in odin?

the bar is blue
No, there is a 'window' on the bottom left of the app with text in it. What does that text say when you've attempted to flash the phone?. Need all of it, not just the result at the end.
The blue bar means the flash completed successfully but doesn't give any more info than that.

Sboot.bin is the bootloader so I presume that it is either locked or corrupt. I'm not sure if that is a pit error or not. You could try to find another file and hope it works but if you're absolutely sure the one you have is good then there's no point. You could try finding a stock rom that doesn't include the bootloader. Also flashing a pit file (only as a very last step) is an option but make sure it is the correct one for your specific model and region etc.
I hate recommending pit file flashing but in this case it could be viable from other reports around the site. Flashing a pit file is a last resort only, I cannot stress this enough.

where might i find a stock rom without a bootloader? dont fancy the pit file tbh!!
Try using different USB cables and USB 2.0 ports.

ive only got the 1 usb port on my tablet
The sboot.bin is not flashing because the bootloader on the phone is newer than the bootloader in the ROM you are flashing, the ROM is not for your phone, and/or you need to try another computer.
It's unlikely that the bootloader is locked as AT&T and Verizon are the only two carriers I know of who lock down the bootloader.
i'm totally out of my knowledge zone here....i did do thison 1 of my old phones a few years back and some one wrote on a comment exactly how to make it stock again....but i'm buggered if i can find that post again....or thats even if the site still has that thread...can anyone point me in the right direction here please?
Ok this is what i get when i try and flash this:I9300XXUGNB5_I9300EVRGML2_EVR
which i got from sam pass and selected my exact model of phone from my country(uk) and the network i'm using....with odin v3.10

In use sammobile.com. The download speed for free accounts is not great but I usually start the download and do something else for a while.
