Hello,
I'm having a strange problem since I'd flashed Cyanogenmod 10.2 on my device. I was running smooth for couple of days and then suddenly it restarted and stuck on Samsung bootlogo. Whenever I'd tried to power on it was stuck there. Then I tried odin flash stock latest NG3 rom and the phone asked for pit. After this it's not working anymore except the Download mode. It shows on odin but when I try flashing anything it fails all the time. Please if anybody can help me on this :crying:
I had never have a problem of this kind while flashing other devices hundreds of times but this one.

@mistermish2000, I'm not a pro but I believe that your partition is corrupted.
If you flashed with PIT selected then you can try to use a recovery firmware for your device from XDA. That would be a last resort though.
thanks RazorMC. I tried with stockrecovery file with no luck, but can u suggest any recovery firmware for the I9300 version please. I'm also looking but if u know any that worked before please suggest. thanks again

No this is a sign of complete eMMC failure see this post >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/help/problem-white-screen-black-lines-rain-t2467459 << I have never seen anyone recover from this and I have seen quite a few posts with the same problem. Service repair recommended :crying:
Try reading the 'dead boot repair solution' thread in general forum, a repair shop with a z3x box will be able to tell you if the emmc is totally fried.

Hi guys... I kinda boot looped my I9100 and now can enter only download mode and.nothing else works phone doesn't even boot..I tried almost every tutoriol and I keep getting stuck at Nand write operation ..only thing which successfully flashes is the bootloader alone ..even bought a new battery and tried as mine was old and still no luck ..help please ;-(
Help pretty please......

Firstly, please make a more descriptive title. So people would know exactly what you are talking about.

Congrats you have flashed wrong kernal..
Now do one thing..
Go to gokhanmoral. Com
If you were running ics download 4.1.5 odin flash able tar file.. Flash throw odin.
If you were on gb download and flash 2.3.5 tar file...
If this doesnt work you need to flash stock rom via odin from sammobile.com for your country..
Make sure you have mobile version GT I9100 AND NOT GT I9100G...

I have the international edition of the S3 that a was messing around with, and I ended up installing some rom and now I can't even get into recovery. I've searched around and tried multiple methods of fixing it. The only thing I can access is download mode. Can anyone help?
same my condition ..... it's looks like sudden death ..... try flash any recovery files ... if not ... ur last hope doing PIT then if u failed to 100% successfully .... need a new MotherBoard ... replace it if warranty recover
ps: act like fool and tell them u have sudden Death and u didnt play with anything (dont mention ur flash custom rom/firmware ....it will cancel ur warranty)
sry for lose man , u not the only one ... i cant even replace it with warranty due to bought from another country
good luck

Do you know where I could find instructions on how to flash a PIT?

providing u the right PIT file with flasher
http://www.mediafire.com/?ddfpfkk2pb8326k
connect ur mobile , open odin program and then press on PIT button and navigate PIT files then (as i think) choose the latest PIT file with name i9300 (ur mobile Model) and latest date and then hit start ..... good luck but i recommend u send it to ur Samsung repair center if warranty cover
good luck
stop!
before messing with pit files, which is extremely dangerous, flash a stock ROM through Odin and then do a factory reset from recovery

Exactly this^^^^....pit file flashing is an absolute last resort, not a first solution
did you tried flashing 4.0.4 stock rom with odin?
same thing happened to me 2 weeks ago, flashing 4.0.4 and after that flashing 4.1.2 fixed it.
try to do not mess with pit especially if you didn't backup your efs folder. it is not needed.

I've already tried to flash a stock firmware, but I still couldn't get it into recovery. I'm not sure if it was the right one though. I have a regular unbranded SIII, is there a specific firmware I should flash?

okay? the first thing to do here is just flash a stock ROM, no need for pit files
Mine was stuck before than samsung logo, on the model number screen. Almost 1 second or less after opening the device.
Then i flashed 4.0.4 and magically it opened without any loop or something. Its useless to flash 4.1.2 or any other jb stock rom, for some reason it seems not fixing the loop issue.
Again, there is no problem related with pit files.

It's all individual, what worked for you might not work for others. Don't say that flashing JB is useless, because it's not
I flashed stock 4.0.4 firmware through odin. The operation was successful, but I was still unable to enter recovery. What am I doing wrong?

Follow the steps to root and flash your custom ROM again as if you just got your phone. The same thing happened to my T999, and it took me 3 tries doing this to finally get back into Recovery.
try to flash in odin stock rom then root use cwm then try to go to recovery..
My cousin's having the same exact issue and we've been unable to find the proper rom. Can anyone please tell me where to get one? I've downloaded some "international" ones but when i try to upload it it keeps telling me failed, i've tried at least 4 or 5 different roms.
ANY help would be greatly appreciated!!
Phone is:
GT-i9300
using it in the US with StraightTalk in the US (been working like a charm for ~6 months, all of a suddent when into this weird limp mode)
Phone was running jellybean 4.1.1 (through kies) and not rooted
Try several times before giving up. Sometimes it works after when the device feels that you've had enough stress and fear.
I mean the problem is common but it's solved in different ways or different repeats.
But it seems that your problem is a software problem that can be solved.

because he's right, it's pointless to repeat the same stuff over and over.
Can get to download mode? Flash a stock rom. can't? try a different cable/port/pc/make sure kies is not running /reinstall drivers. didn't help? try flashing the correct pit file. no luck? send it to samsung. it's all been posted a thousand times

Take a look at his posts, he is spamming that video everywhere, why bait people that need help?
Also remember it does state in the rules to try and be helpful and welcoming to newcomers, or don't post at all, I agree it's a hard balancing act to get right, but if you continually slam the door in people's faces it will put newcomers off, a degree of civility and tact is required

i had the same prob. Solution is easy. Just download the originial stock rom. You can flash this by using odin. Select pda and your file (should be a .tar file). good luck!
Firmware upgrade on a custom stock ROM ?? You don't do that. Do as above or you could flash philz kernel through Odin and restore you're bk up.
I had the same problem, but I thought,if firmware upgrade encounters an issue , you can't enter download mode

Tried flashing Kernel with ODIN also tried flashing a stock official ROM. No luck. Kernel gets stuck at NAND Write and ROM says FAIL.
Search for Hopper8's 'Odin troubleshooting' thread. Try the stuff in that thread. Keep trying it. Only way you're fixing it is if you get it to successfully take an Odin flash.
I had the same problem, and flashing the Stock official ROM with Odin worked for me, just make sure you're using the correct version of Odin, I think I had to try one or two different versions before the flash worked for me.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Tried everything. Different versions of ODIN, different stock roms, 3 part jb rom, custom kernels, followed Hopper8's thresd to the T and still no luck. Can't get a single successful flash. Everything stops inbetween. The only thing I havent tried is flashing a bootloader. Since I'm out of options and replacing is too expensive for a 3yr old phone im willing to risk anything now. Thing is I was on neatROM jb 4.1.2 was this problem happened so which bootloader file can I try flashing via odin?

MistahBungle is right, no magic tricks here. If you really have followed through the entirety of my guide, and done it again on a different pc, and still no luck, then I'm afraid it's done for unfortunately. The one step I'd encourage you to try over again is flashing the 3 part firmware again. If you're satisfied that you've nothing more to try then throw it out. Or send it to me or MistahBungle.

Try flashing just cwm through odin. Then may be you can fix problems. Just a thought mate.
SO now that my phone has been officially declared dead is there any way to recover some data from it? I have a few recordings and photos that are on the phone and I can get it into download mode so is there any possibility of data recovery?
Unlikely. A company who specialises in recovery of data from dead HDD's might be able to help, but it's very much a longshot & will be very expensive if possible.

The phone is NOT dead. You van save it by forcing it to download mode by usb jig (1$ on ebay), then flash unsecure kernel (like Siyah/Dori with CWM inside) using Odin. If you're unable to do it by yourself - take the device to a cellphone repair shop.
