[Q] My S3 won't boot.. - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys i'm just facing a problem with my s3 .. i have been using custom rom 4.4.4 for a long while but today i wanted to back to the stock rom (4.1.2) using odin .. after installing the rom it doesn't boot anymore i waited more than a hour and nothing happened.. i also reinstalled the rom again and i also followed the steps one by one , please help me thanks all

Factory reset in recovery.
4.1 may cause your efs to be unreadable, flash 4.3 stock instead.

1. Does Odin confirmed that the flash succeeded?
2. If yes: boot into stockrecovery and do factory-reset.

Worked .. thank you both very much i really appreciate that

It is important to let you know that I used this rom before, then correclty flashed cm9, then RGUI V10. Then I decided to flash lite'ning again but went unsuccesful.
Can anyone help?
My phone is able to go in download mode. It is the international version of the SIII in Mexico
Thanks!

Try wiping /system before flashing the rom again. If it doesn't work. Then get yourself an Odin compatible stock ROM to flash... if you can get in to download mode then you will be fine. But try the first step and see how it goes.

Edit: I wiped it. Now trying to flash rom again as suggested. If it doesn't work I'll try with a stock rom.
Thanks a lot for your help!

Nandroid Backup for 16gb model

Hey all
We were trying to flash stock rom on a friends i9100 mobile and stupidly we selected .pit file (yeah I know stupid ,,,,,) It was a mistake and now when we try to flash a rom, odin gets stuck at factory_fs.img. We have checked for brick sectors but everything seems fine.
By flashing a kernel we can boot into recovery, that is possible we have done this. if anyone can plz provide a nandroid backup for this mobile we can restore from that backup. I think that this will work. So please if anyone can help us plz
Regards
Bilal
Flash a custom kernel such as siyah or Dorimanx, boot in recovery, flash custom rom through recovery. Job done

Thanks for you reply. I tried to help him flash Chameleon but it is not working. Any ROM that you would like to recommend, please ??
Maybe I am wrong but when we flashed earlier with the pit file, doesn't it mess up the partition ?? if that is the case will your method work ?? because all customs roms say ( if you are coming form this rom do this, coming from this rom do this and his mobile has nothing)
Thanks
solved, we flashed Resurrection rom and it worked then we flashed a stock rom.

Fix
I know this is an old thread but we had the same issue installing this ROM onto a device with STOCK firmware GINGERBREAD 3.2.6
Flashing using CWM the phone got stuck on the Samsung galaxy logo
ROM install without CWM in recovery bricked the device and it got stuck in boot-loop
The solution: After installing the stock ROM using Odin, make sure you have a clean install! (This is important) then wipe the data, cache and dalvik cache and proceed to flash ace-I-sure
As always before you do any of this make sure you use CWM to backup your phone to SD so you can roll back!
IF YOUR DEVICE IS BRICKED - USE THIS VIDEO TO RESTORE STOCK!
Cant post the link because I'm a new member - but search "Unbrick Ace 5830i via ODIN" the uploader is by Amritpal Singh

Switching between roms may softbrick your phone. If you are stuck at bootscreen while flashing, the solution may already specified in respected threads. There are 3 links specified in Ace-i-Sure ROM thread for solving stuck at boot logo.

It's not the problem of rom.
Freeze Some apps like maps, YouTube... those are working as background apps.
Turnoff wifi, GPS, packet data when not in use.
Selecting 2G only will improve battery backup.
Set Screen brightness to minimum level.

help with basic rooting and flashing roms

hello all
i have a gs2 i9100
i rooted it folowing this guide short way (update from recovery)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1994544
it installs cwm recovery 4.0.1.5 and supersu.
i tried installing a cm10.1 nightly version for my model,it allways abort with staus 7.
i tried different nightly version,no success.
then i folowed the official cm guide:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_i9100
i flashed the zimage for cwm recovery via heimdall on linux,it went well then i booted into recovery to check and success.
i didnt want to flash cm at that point (middle of the day) so i rebooted the device and problem:
i could see the samssung boot logo with the yello triangle and then the screen goes black and..nothing.
for now i restored via recovery a backup i made on the older 4.0.1.5 recovery.
i also tried looking for a kernel that matches mine - jhls4 and couldnt find one nor a solution that solved the stsus 7 error.
what could be the problem?
That thread is so old now. More phone details. Firmware you have installed or had installed before you flashed cm? Model of i9100?
Phone model is gt-i9100
Im on stock tw jb 4.1.2
Never installed any other firmware just updated the official with kies.
I rooted it from the stock recovery-installed super user and recovery as update.
The rest is in my first post.
Appriciate your help.

Flash it with philz kernel for root and custom kernel cwm recovery that will let you do anything. Philz is the easy way to root and install cwm to your i9100.
When that's install do the wipes and reboot.
Thanx for your reply
Q: any phils kernel or one that matches mine- jhls2?
2nd Q: can i flash the kenel via recovery ? Or just heimdall?
And if i flash a kernel do i have to flash a rom immedietly or can i still use the stock rom?
Total noob at this.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Flash lss or lsw philz as its just the cwm that's updated in dif versions and yes this will work on your stock 4.1.2 no point in telling you to flash something that won't work on the ROM you have now then if you want to flash custom ROM you can do this from there. Either way is possible with philz . tar for Odin/hem and singed zip for stock recovery:thumbup: reading is the key to flashing well.
Thanx again
I read a lot and got a little confused.
Will do what u suggested.
Hope ill get it right this time.
Cheers.
