Hi Mates - i need help.
I just rooted my Galaxy S3 (i9300) and after it restarted, all i can see is just pure black screen.
- Prior to Rooting, here's my phone status:
Official Stock 4.1.2 Official Firmware
Never been rooted prior to this incident
What i used:
Odin 1.85
CF-Insecure-SGS3_XX_NEE_ALE8-v1.2
Can someone please help me?
Sometimes it doesn t get rooted. Check if you can boot into recovery or not by using button combo.

after downloading cf.root 6.4 and flashing it via odin, still shows black screen.
Question - considering that i have flashed cf.root 6.4, will the procedure below brick my phone?
- install CWM 6.0.3.1
- reboot into CWM recovery
- install custom rom
Please advise me, mates...

You cannot install CWM recovery unless you root your phone. . Did you try going to recovery using button combo?? Sometimes, if roots after you manually go into recovery.
If not done, download Galaxy S3 unified toolkit and root using that.

If the cf root procedure was successful I wouldn't worry about installing a diff recovery just yet, lets get the phone booting 1st. Download a custom rom and get it moved onto your external sd card, Boot into recovery(from power off, press volume up, home button and power), make sure its custom and not default. Then install the custom rom zip and reboot it should hopefully fully reboot. then look into installing a newer custom recovery.

when you say button combo, that's VOLUME UP+HOME+ POWER, right? if so, yes, i can go to recovery mode, hirend_6d.

in odin, it showed that the root procedure was successful. not sure if i got your correctly, mate. so you mean i can go into recovery mode and flash custom rom?

no..! you can flash CWM recovery even though the phone is not rooted! for sure! after flashing CWM recovery we can root the phone by flashing superuser.zip! i've done this many times!

If the recovery has been updated to the custom CWM recovery then yes you could flash a rom which will come with root and super user. But it must be the custom recovery if your still on the stock recovery u couldn't flash a custom rom.

Ohk, is the recovery stock recovery or custom (CWM) recovery. Anyways, try to wipe data and cache and boot. If not successful, install a custom ROM. But make sure the recovery is CWM recovery.

yes, saw it. its a custom rom. tried wipe data / cache but didn't work. will try to install custom rom sentinel now.
was able to install the custom rom but kept on rebooting after few minutes. it already happened thrice now.
anything i am missing?
It could be the insecure kernel you used earlier is making it unstable, probably if the custom rom doesn't install a kernel. Only thing I can think of is install an official Samsung g3 rom which should repair all the partitions that might of been damaged or corrupted, use it for a while to make sure no reboots. Then go through root and install of custom rom again. In theory creating a good foundation to install a custom rom on.
Just out of curiosity did u download an official Samsung rom before starting to flash in case u need to send it away or sell it on? If not what network/country are u using? Is the phone locked to the network or unlocked?
Edit:- I never used a kernel flash to root my phone just used cf root 6.4 to get root and custom recovery cwm. I only changed my recovery this weekend to Phil touch.

My device is rooted and somehow i freeze the update something app via root uninstaller and the problem is recovery mode wont start..I have soft bricked my phone...Can anybody here help??
first off my s3 doesn't have a power button. I had removed it because it was causing a lot of problems of reboots.
I was on archidroid 4.4.4 running arter kernel.
I dint know that to flash another kernel I had to first get to stock kernel as I never did that on my P3100.
So I flashed boeffela kernel and bamm.. My device would not go anywhere from the Samsung logo screen....
I dont have a power button so cant reboot to recovery.
I tried to use USB jig to get into download mode and flashed a stock 4.3 Rom but that too doesn't goes ahead of the Samsung logo screen.
Please help me.

No you need to wipe first.Plus you can't flash 4.4 via odin because there is no official stock 4.4 for our devices you need a custom version to flash in Cwm/PhilZ or Twrp recovery

Ok a few things to get straight. Recovery has nothing to do with root per se. BUT if you are not rooted, any custom recovery flashed via odin will not stick if the device is allowed to boot normally once.
I guess you are pretty new to this. Do yourself a favour and read through the threads in my signature. Then you will know what to do. In any case make sure what device model it is exactly you are using!

For doing this you will need original samsung USB cable and USB debugging ON...After doing this download latest version of TWRP or CWM and flash it via odin.In odin choose option PDA...If not there then choose AP and flash it via downloading mode. :good: and REMEMBER-Root is required
If u got success...hit thanks

I am sorry but that is not correct.
1) Any usb cable which is to specs will work (talking from experience)
2) USB debugging is only of concern when system (rom) is booted. So in download mode which is needed for odin it has no relevance.
3) ... and as I stated root is nice to have but certainly NOT required
Your two points are correct but third that u are saying root is not required....but for flashing custom ROM root is required....because in cyanogenmod I unrooted my device and after that my phone stopped working and twrp was also crashed

Your scenario is not an explanation of FLASHING a custom Rom. You can flash a custom Rom without prior rooting in a temporary recovery without issues. That rom however will most likely be rooted and unrooting THAT Rom as you did might crash things as you stated.
BUT those are two completely different things...
You can also check the first thread in my signature. It's in there too.
I'm not new to this....I'm developer for CyanogenMod 13 Galaxy S3 I9300

Flash cf-autoroot (specific file for s3 i9300) via odin and you are rooted. Simple.
Recovery and custom roms are by choice, not by force.

My phone successfully booted into TWRP recovery mode but now I can't go back to the normal OS, even after I tried most of the stuff I read on net. I tried installing the stock ROM but it needed the software version and stuff which I think can be accessed only from the settings which can not be accessed from TWRP mode.
I am ready to Factory Data Reset my phone but I read that Factory Data Resetting wont work out.

It is a Samsung Galaxy A500F which I bought in June, 2015.
The info Is in /system/Build.prop.
And you don't boot via Flashify After flashing a .img File.That Triggers A Recovery-loop.

you can go on download mode ?
you can fix that problem without data resset ,find cf autoroot for sm-a500f fllash via odin and after fllash phone can restart on normal mode.
or you can install fresh stock by these procedure.
search on google for SM-A500FXXS1CPL2 6.0.1 4 Files Repair Firmware and place right on odin ,that way phone wipes all and install stock firmware.
