Hi Guys,
This afternoon a prompt for a Software update appeared, I okayed it without thinking twice. Then it auto shut down for a reboot and never came back up. Its is stuck on boot screen with yellow writing top left Set Warranty Bit : kernel
I tried reflashing stock rom with ODIN, I got the PASSED green message , but the phone still stuck on boot loop.
Also I tried installing twrp recovery but that did not help.
I read somewhere this has to do with KNOX efuse getting damaged but i am not sure what this means and what could be done.
Just to give more details KNOX WARRANTY VOID is showing as 0x1
Also I dont give a **** about the warranty i just want my phone back
Please help I can't use the phone at all.

So my S3 went into a boot loop. And I dont know how I got to this point but now the phone wont even boot, when plugged in to my comp it shows the battery symbol but its greyed out with the circle in the middle, and it stays like that. If i hold the power putton it comes up with the Galaxy SIII GT i9300 screen but then goes back to the battery. I can get it to go into download mode though. I think somehow I may have deleted all the files required for the phone to actually boot(Im a n00b so im not completely sure) Can somebody please help me?
I was on custom ROM before and my binary counter is at 4, so sending into samsung doesn't sound like a great idea :/
Thanks for the help and sorry if this has been asked before, I have searched for hours.

If you also can go into recovery, try to wipe. In addition did you flash any custom kernel?
If not, try to reflash a rom with odin after you got into download mode or did you try this already?

If you mean with CWM mod, no I cant, it just shows the Galaxy S3 GT i9300 screen then goes black. Yes i did have a custom kernel, I believe it was the latest Perseus one. I already tried this with a stock rom and it idnt work, it said it had passed but i still can boot the phone.

as you can go into download mode but not recovery, what about flashing CWM another time (if you did not try it already). Maybe it solves the issue with recovery and from there you could go on trying to wipe etc.
Other options would be to do a mega or super wipe (if this is possible from odin & download mode, not sure though), to get your phone completely empty (mega) or at least to factory reset (super).

The thing is there is nothing wrong with my phone in terms of hardware. The problem that I am having is purely software, I think I just need to restore my phone to a previous version. I did see that thread but didnt feel my post belonged there as my problem is nothing to do with broken battery or mobo or anything along those lines. Hence why I am posting here
Just factory reset via recovery then flash a stock rom via Odin .
No recovery flash CF root via Odin .

I did install a stock ROM and it was still stuck on bootloop, left it like that for an hour, still nothing. So I went into CWM (after flashing it) Wiped and factory reset (noticing it said error mounting /data but ignored) and then restored with a backup I had. it did say error mounting /data and so skipped that step. Still stuck in boot loop. now that I try wiping again the same error occurs, error mounting /data any ideas please?
I did have this problem a few days back. The only thing i did was downloaded my Carrier stock firmwaer and extracted boot.img and used Samsung galaxy toolkit and make a filé that i was able to use with Odin. Dunno if ot helps you but my Phone is still going strong
I was only trying to root my Phone tho. No custom rom installera when i got The boot problem
Sounds like you have permission problem. I can't find the three about that but I update my post here if I can find it.

Not sure what the CM updater uses, but I have tried to update with Philz, got stuck in an installation loop of the update itself.
Tried to use my jig and flash back to stock right now, got into download mode and was able to flash back to stock, but right now, I got into download with the jig, flashed stock ROM, and got a bootloop but am UNABLE to get into any recovery at all.
Pretty screwed up. Really need some suggestions here, guys.
Any ideas?!
I can get into download mode and flash via Odin (USB drivers installed via Windows 8)
Flashes successfully, installs stock recovery, reboots into bootloop.
No idea how to fix it.
Not a noob here. Nothing is working.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I had the same problem and I ended up finding a working CWM tar file that can be installed using ODIN and I was then able to boot into CWM fine.
This is the exact file name: recovery-cwmtouch-6.0.2.7-GTI9300
I don't remember where I downloaded it from, but if you Google the exact file name I am pretty sure you'll find it. Just flash it using Odin and you'll be good to go.

Well, now I'm even more f****ed than before, because I had a zero count, but after trying this, I got a custom count in download, and I still cannot get into recovery.
Nothing works.
Bye, bye warranty.
Edit:
The 6.0.2.7 version by MSKIP worked, but the updated one did not.
I got recovery, now I'll see if I can flash stock and recovery to get my counter back to zero.
Sorry to hear about the counter. I'd suggest rooting your device, installing Triangle Away, resetting your flash counter and then finally unrooting your device by installing stock ROM from SamMobile or such. That's the best route if you want your warranty to remain intact.

Hi all,
I am stuck in the very same problem as of today!
I don't know what to do!
One more weird symptom is that when I tried to charge the Note battery..it suddenly went to bootloop again!
The battery was 100% at the begining of that damn update process!
I don't know what to do..all suggestions are so welcomed.

If you have a Note, then advice we give here may not be relevant and may be unsafe.
I was replacing a screen for my friend and the phone (sprint sph-L600) was working just fine. Then it stated there was an update, I selected ok. Since then the phone has been looping Samsung Mega and vibrating 2 times over and over. I downloaded odin and flashed 4.4.2 and still the same issue. I can not get into samsung recovery as it does the same reboot over and over. I flash it with a different recovery, and then could get into the recovery mode,once I flash the stock rom, I'm back to square one, rebooting and no recovery. Before I did a flash recovery I did notice the KNOX was 0x1, which I'm not sure why. Any help would be great or I'm out some money for trying to be nice... thanks in advance!
Anyone please!

Dont worry its not a hard brick. Try to flash the stock rom with odin. It will solve the problem.
Hello guys, am supposed to have posted this a long time ago, but now am chanced.
i Have a samsung s4 verizon (I9500). i wanted to downgrade it from android 5.0 to 4.2, but whenever i try to flash the new firmware with odin i get an error ( Nand Write start.... Fail(Auth)). So i tried flashing a cmw recovery using rom manager, it just flashes, but when i try to reboot to recovery, i still get the same custom recovery. after trying to flash the recovery many times, i think the recovery partition got bricked. cus when i try to boot into recovery, i get an error saying: (Start Up Failed: your device didnt start up successfully. Use the verizon Software Repair assistant on a computer to repair your device) I didnt get how to use the verizon software repair....., but since my phone was still booting up normally, i reall didnt bother, i just kept on trying to flash a new recovery, but was still receiving the same error. so about a week ago, i was playing with my build.prop and i edited a property(ro.build.recovery.... cant really remember the name) after that i tried rebooting my fone the next day, and it just stuck on the samsung logo b4 normal boot. i guess it must have been the value i changed in the build prop. I have tried flashing a new firmware with odin, but i still get the same error (nand write fail(auth))
Now in summary this is my problem
My samsung s4 wont boot up.
My samsung s4 wont boot into recovery mode.(I get startup failed)
What i have Tried doing
1. Tried flashing new firmware with odin= i get an error saying, Nand write fail
2. Tried flashing new firmware with heimdall= i get an error saying "Can't confirm end of file transfer sequence"
please any body with a posible solution. :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:

SMH. Second sticky from the top. In this Sub-Forum. The one that says "de-brick". You flashed the firmware for the wrong variant and bricked it.

easy fix download samsung kies and do a recovery flash. i literally also bricked my phone then fixed it with kies
Hi all,
I was driving home using gps and clicked on a message as it popped up, the phone itself went black and the Samsung logo appeared.
Now I tried the obvious holding the power button but nothing happened, then tried holding volume down and power which replicates a battery pull, which reset the phone but it was still frozen at the Samsung logo.
Upon getting home I tried going into recovery mode multiple times by resetting the phone then holding down, power, vol+ and home but however, I tried I couldn't get it to boot into recovery.
I was able to get it into Odin mode, downloaded the latest firmware 7.0 for SM-G920I xsa Australia which was installed previously before bricking itself.
The phone was never rooted or played with in anyway til this point.
Anyway, Odin successfully flashed the firmware without hassle but the phone still froze at the Samsung's logo and I am still unable to go into recovery.
I tried using a phone doctor to fix it using a fix for a similar SM-G920F which brought up red writing and was possibly the point in which Knox warranty void: 1 (0x0500) I can't be sure as I never really took in what was displayed before.
I reflashed back the 7.0 which got rid of the red writing error and tried using smart switch emergency recovery which successfully downloaded and installed the correct firmware but I was still stuck at the Samsung logo after a restart.
I was onto Samsung and apparently, my phone is from Singapore originally so I downloaded the stock rom for Singapore but Odin wouldn't flash it.
I have installed all drivers but the phone only connects to the PC during Odin mode, adb/fast boot can't see the device.
I've tried TWRP recovery but I still cant boot into recovery mode to wipe cache or anything so any Idea I explore seems to hit a dead end.
Usually, I get things working again but this one is really puzzling me I've already ordered a new phone.
It's a 128gb version less than 2 years old, seems such a waste.
Anyway, does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance

I don't have this device, but with most Samsung devices recovery is hold vol+, home, and power. Once the splash screen appears let off of power but keep the other two buttons pressed.

I remember having this exact same problem about a year ago.. Now I'm not sure if this'll work for you since I was on MM at the time, but try downloading arters version of twrp, (my S6 would never boot to recovery with the official twrp) flashing via Odin and try booting into recovery. Flash a custom rom or restore a backup of you have one. Then from there you can try restoring to stock rom.

I'm not 100 percent sure since it was a long time ago but I believe the red warning didn't impact the recovery and I think it was just to let you know that recovery wasn't stock. And on first boot to twrp it could take about 5 minutes, right after flashing I mean. Good luck any ways mate. Cheers

Dropped it down to the local phone fix shop, they couldn't fix the software problem either so they're going to try replacing the battery.

Seems like its a hardware issue, if I replace the whole motherboard off eBay with the same model g920I unlocked will that do the trick or will I have to start flashing networks, bootloaders, pit files and whatever else it needs to get moving?
It is possible to flash ONLY a recovery using ODIN by making your own custom tar.md5. If you leave the pit files and userdata images alone, it shouldn't overwrite your personal data. You could reinstall the entire OS, boot sections, and even stock recovery.
Note: Do your own fair share of diligence, I am not responsible for any mishaps.
