Try to just flash PIT file and unselect Autoreboot and check re-partition in Odin and try again.
And please dont do a double post.Continue with your first one.

Hey guys!
I think i could use some help on handling my GT I9300
I was on Paranoid Android 3.15 and flashed miuiandroid_m0_jb-3.4.12
It worked for me for about 40 hours- no problems at all.
While i was setting up my phone and reinstalling my apps clockworkmod told me that there is an update. I could update to a version that i already installed a couple of days ago but somehow the app showed me i am running on an older version. After trying to update clockworkmod it told me that an error occured while updating.
Didnt take care of it because i went to bed and wanted to continue later this evening.
Some hours ago (i already used my phone as usual) my phone restartet and stuck on the samsung logo.
When i plug in the charger no led turns on. Sometimes the Samsung logo changes to the charging animation but it seems that the animation is frozen.
I cannot enter recovery mode only download mode.
What i have tried till now was:
trying to flash a stock rom with odin 3.7- Odin told me something like there was no pit file found.
trying to flash an odin flashable cutom rom- some error as above.
trying to flash a 3 parted rom with pit file- odin was stuck on "Get PIT for mapping" and nothing happened for about 60 minutes.
I have uses both GT-I9300_mx_20120220.pit and GT-I9300_mx_20120329.pit

On Odin 1.85 the repartition fails
Now i am pretty clueless and i hope that someone could tell me a solution
Oh i almost forgot.
in Odin mode my description is:
PRODUCT NAME:

Thanks in advance!
You could try flashing CF-root with odin and see if that works. If it does you should have access to recovery.

Oh i sorry. forgot to write down that i already tried this aswell-but without .pit file. That was one of my first ideas because i wanted to avoid repartitioning.
Same error in odin- no pit found.
Should i try to just flash cf root with the .pit file? or would this cause even more damage?

i dont know if this will work , but you could try it , try flashing resurrection rom from the checkrom website through odin in download mode

Is it possible to flash only recovery image with Odin? I've been doing that with Mobile Odin, so I guess it might be possible with Odin as well?

This was the custom rom i mentioned above. Have forgotten the name so i only wrote via odin flashable custom rom. Same issue there "there is no PIT Partition"
The "best" result untill now was trying to flash a 3 parted rom with PIT but odin seems to freeze on getting pit. Or at least nothing happened after an hour
Usual is wrong PIT for your phone or PIT partition damaged .
Take it to a service centre .

I went to my provider today and gave it back to send it to service. I don't seem to be the first one who gave the phone back with the same issues. Usually it takes about one or two weeks till they have checked the phone and decide if the repair or replace the phone. Today the nice lady in the shop told me that they will send it back on monday and a replacement will arrive on monday aswell.
Thanks anyways
Hi
sorry for my bad english
a few days ago i did an update via odin.i mean i want to change firmware to another stock rom to test battery life and something else but my mistake is that i used PIT file.that erase every thing and after that S3 freeze at boot logo ,very lagy and restart by itself.
i searched internet and unfourtunately i found my s3 bricked
but now its ok and the solution is ever u used PIT(partition information table)u must flash files that ur s3 need.
=================================================
1-u must use correct version of samsung galaxy s3(i9300) = Odin3 v3.04
2-go to download mode by presing volume down + menu + power and then select wolume up
3-flash pit file with odin .phone will restart and then enter download mode by step 2 again then go to step 4 (this isnt necessary more)
4-if u want flash desired stock rom do this by PDA button
5-if u do step 4 then restart or not flash PARAM.bin by PHONE button via odin
thats the point , param.bin is the solution for s3
its worked for my dead galaxy s3 gt-i9300 and i thought that bricked
=======================
extract files and uses them
i extracted param.bin from a stock korean firmware
hope it will help who search for solution :victory:
Good but Really works ??
hi
i think this can help if use PIT file.i test without using PIT file and no problem happens.
if phone is slow and laggy and restart with no reason i think its good to test this solution.however this file available in boot loader and main firmware file but flash it instead of those can help
when u flash .pit or .param do you need to enable Re-partition on Odin?

hello,I had initially no WIFI, then a few days later brick.
Hopefully boot always correct and I could flash some original ROM.
But doing so the IMEI and other where lost (while files are written in the EFS partition-directory
My 9300 INT (Europe-France) works but limited to Wifi. 4.1.2 version with EMG4 (recent 2013 july) the 9300 date sept 2012
The EFS was probably overriden
I flashed different ROMS and could not have it back, but I did not try to use PIT rebuilding.
I am actually with an EMG4 modem - so I just wonder
Is the param.bin a descriptive file fro PIT ?
If not what kind of PIT file may I use ? is it included in a part of the ROM files ?
If I put the complete rom file in the PIT window of ODIN, will ODIN use only PIT? or will it FLASH the complete ROM + PIT.
SOrry to be new to this, I can understand shell, ADB, busybox, root etc, but the way the flashing is mounting files and partitioopns escapes me.
Thank you in advance if someone can give me a hand.
Regards
PS I had seen almost 100 pages of different methods and no real TUTO when no backup is find (I may have one at some point but on another SD...
So I know no miracle exist, out of specific equipment. , box, ...
Sorry for the 10001 quetion about the same troublewith IEMI/EFS
Help
there is no PIT partition here
i can't understand if i need to flash param or not. if its not needed then why download it ?
i can't connect to wifi and can't use dialer, does above method solve my problem ?
Everything that happened:
1) I rooted my GT-I9300 using ODIN v3.07 and CWM Recovery
2)I installed zip of Resurrection Remix Kitkat ROM for S3 using CWM
3) I hated it to the core!
4)I flashed the official stock ROM of 4.3 JB using ODIN
5) I realized that USB Debugging was off!
6) My phone gets stuck at the Samsung logo and doesn't even load into recovery mode!
7) It boots into download mode, I flash the 4.1.2 JB ROM for S3 using ODIN
8)The Samsung logo appears, disappears and then again appears! This goes on forever!!
9)This time it boots into Android Recovery and displays the error: E: failed to mount data (Invalid Argument) cant find /data
10) The phone restarts and continues the boot-looping!!
11) I try to restore it with Kies3 using Firmware Upgrade and Initialization
12) It upgrades the firmware to 4.3 JB but the things that happened in NO. 6 continue!
13) I realised its time for the xda people to help me out!!
Things I have:
1) My Bricked Samsung Galaxy S III (International) GT-I9300
2) USB Cable
3) A Windows 7 PC with 2GB RAM
4) An Internet Connection
Can someone please explain what has happened to my phone and what should I do to get it back on stock ROM?
Please help me as I dont want to buy a new phone!
Note: If you have 16 GB of I9300, apply this guide
I think you can restore your device via repartition with a PIT file. I uploaded Odin and PIT file that I use. You can download it from attachments
You should install this ROM via PIT file; http://samsung-updates.com/details/25147/Galaxy_S_3_International/GT-I9300/TUR/I9300XXUGNB6.html
Make sure select PIT file in Odin before installation.
I live in India. Can you suggest an INU or INS rom?
I flashed my phone with PIT file and (INS_I9300XWUGML4_I9300ODDGML4_I9300DDUGMK1) 4.3 JB ROM. No Progress!!

Can you try install with my suggested ROM? If it will success, you can install your country's ROM anyway.
After installing it via PIT file, wait for boot. If it stuck in Samsung logo, remove battery,insert the battery again, boot into recovery and try to wipe data.
I'm saying again; Make sure select PIT file in Odin before installation.
Did you try a wipe data when you flashed second stock ROM?? When you got in recovery

I installed the ROM with the PIT file but still no progress!
A new problem:
1) I went to the Samsung people expecting some help
2) And they did the most cruel thing on this earth!!! They said
"The binary counter says 4. That means you have flashed the ROM customly. This has void the warranty of your device. We cant help you if you have void your warranty. Sorry!"

Try flashing the stock S2 firmware (Make sure you include PIT file)
Then try again with CWM as the memory should not be corrupted anymore
My MTP drivers are not installing

Yea that can be quite a bit of a problem. I hope u can boot into recovery mode. Just download compatible recovery zip file, choose apply update from system recovery and select the file. Be sure u have the right recovery file. no PC required.

Follow the steps I've mentioned in this forum yesterday.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/help/fix-samsung-s2-booting-root-reset-t3087729
This should fix the issue, and then you can restore back and update your phone or flash custom ROMs.

i'm trying to download from rapidgator from 2 days but i can't, it always breaks!
and it can't be resumed
http://samsung-updates.com/details/23417/Galaxy_S_2/GT-I9100/VOD/I9100XWMS2.html
I have a stucked i9100 too.
If i choose a pit file, and select Re-partition, Odin stucked in SetPartition.
if i not checked, the re-partition, Odin stucked in data.img (3 files) or sbl.bin (1 file)
the same problem
always stuck in: NAND write start!!
help please
note:
when i falsh a recovery (like:CWM-KitKatCompatible-i9100.tar) it flashed well, but i can't access the recovery!
phone ssn: i9100GSMH
is it necessary to flash any pit file?
pit file should not be necessary, its main purpose is to re-partitionate the device. If you are already happy with your setup you don't need to flash it to update firmware.
Remember to choose the firmware for the right region for you, the link you posted is for VOD Region (United Kingdom Vodafone).
i think the problem is in the region, i've tried many regions but no one worked.
how to know my phone original firmware region?
Edit: phone flashed sccuessfully.
the problem was that the version printed in the phone is I9100, and the real phone's firmware is I9108.
