I9300 stuck at boot logo - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

It was freezing every where and i need to pull out battery. Restarting and factry reset didnt worked. It also wasnt picking my network. Cant send sms, calls, data connection etc. I decided to flash custom ROM. Back to noot v9. I flashed CWM and then ROM. It wasnt booting on first try. I did again now it stucks on boot logo. When i charge it doesnt shows animation but stucks on battery logo even i unplugg it. Cant go to recovery nor download mode? Any help?

You have nand memory wear, try flashing full stock firmware with Odin then factory reset.
If it still doesn't work then try reading the freezing thread in general forum.

Did that. CPU is fixed. But IMEI is changed and any SIM doesn't works. What should I do?

Restore efs backup.

boot to recovery,wipe cache and factory reset.
EDIT:Hold "home+volume up+power" all at the same time until recovery menu appears.
reflash with odin some stock firmware if you don't want to wipe, if there is no problem with wiping, just go to recovery and do a factory reset...this has a strong chance of success.

dont bother wit finding of exact fw. for you, find something that is for your region....
Is it flash it by using odin?
apsolutley with odin, since I suppose that you don't have cwm packed rom on SD card, because in that case does not matter if you have cwm recovery or not..., dont know if you have done it before...bat after beginners fear, it is actually peace of cake...dont be afraid, just follow instructions to the letter...

After I flashed it, it turns to the CWM screen and install the Multi-csc..something like that..and it reboot..after it reboot..its still turns to CWM and install the multi-csc.
So what should I do now?
you have done something wrong, or taken wrong rom image, since after flashing with ODIN stock rom you WILL ENDUP with stock recovery! Dont know what you flashed, but it was not stock rom.
What rom you took exactly??
"GT-I9100_SIN_I9100DXKI2_I9100OLCKH1_I9100DXKI1"
I flash this..is this a boot loop or other problem?
Hey dude, thanks for helping me so much..
My phone is working now..but I have to download my things again..=(
Alright. Thanks!
no problem, been in that situation. check some custom roms when u have time....you'll be amazed what this device can do.
and in clockwork recovery you have backup and restore, setup phone just how you like it, make a CWM backup and you are always sure that rescue is there....don't need odin or PC for that.
Flash Supercore with odin as PDA or some other kernel that has CWM recovery
The problem occured again just now, its after i dpwnlpad some apps from market..and its still not completely remove the hanging problem..And my laptop died. LOL.
Anyone here?
May i sugest u reflash stock rom and return it to the store.
If u have random reboot after flashing stock rom there is obviouse something wrong with your device.

cwm doesnt start/stuck at loading screen after stock flashed

Hey guys,
yesterday i flashed the latest unofficial temasek rom, before that i had cm 10.2.
at first it worked fine, but afterwards i also flashed the latest gapps.
it lagged a bit so i did a reboot but then it stuck at loading screen. i mean it seemed like it boots but it didnt continue.
i tried to get in cwm and it took about 5 minutes to get there, it said cant mount data etc.
i wanted to flash the normal cm11 but there was an error and then it couldnt start anymore. no blue circle.
after several minutes i got in the cwm and tried to flash different roms, at first custom via cwm, then i tried to flash the stock via odin and
it said it was successfull, but it wasnt. it still stuck at loading but its not frozen, the animation works well.
i tried wipes and factory reset but it didnt help. the only thing that works well is download mode.
its a normal unbranded s3.
thanks for helping

ensure that you wiped all data, cache and factory reset
clean wipe..this step is often omitted during installation.

You have corrupted one or more partitions, try a factory reset after flashing your custom rom again.
If that doesn't work then use Odin to flash a stock firmware, then factory reset.

Means you screwed the efs partition when flashing an incompatible modem with your efs version.
If you flashed a 4.1.2 firmware and got that error, try and flash a mg4 or above modem to see if it gets solved. Or flash a 4.3 firmware altogether.
Read rootSU post on efs, it's a must.
Of you ever backed up your efs or used twrp recovery to make a nandroid backup (which also backs up efs) you might get it back by restoring it.
Otherwise, a patched kernel, modem or ariza patch would be the last available choice before sending to repair.

I mean, go to the stickies in the general section and read. They're there for a reason, including steps before rooting, flashing, information on the efs partition, and pretty much everything else you could have done to avoid the situation you're facing right now.

samsung galaxy in boot loop(twrp)

i installed cm13 custom rom in my s3 then with twrp. it worked fine then i factory reset my phone then it starts with twrp screen and screen flashes and again twrp screen comes(screen with twrp written not options).i can just go to odin mode. what to do now
please help!!!!!
Never factory reset from a custom ROM. It is recommended to do it from recovery. Your reset has wiped too much including important parts of the OS. Flash another copy again.
I tried to downgrade my galaxy r but i cant and i am stuck into twrp.PLEASE HELP ME TO FIX THIS!!!

Thanks for ur concern but i cannot open my recovery it is just teamwin written on screen any other method plse describe.
Maybe it is just loading? If after waiting for 5 mins. can you enter recovery? If not can you enter download mode? If yes then download a copy of the stock rom from here and flash it via ODIN.

This is a soft boot due to the fact you still have the ability to access recovery and such what i would suggest you do is get factory files and restore phone back to stock and start over this should fix your problem. If you look around XDA you will find the files you will need ODIN being the main tool you will use to flash your phone.

You have flashed a stock firmware with stock bootloader etc. using odin and still stuck in a soft brick ? remember to wipe the phone a rule of thumb i use is to wipe the phone 3 times before i flash and 3 times after i flash. during the first boot up it may take a little time to boot as it must rebuild the cache. I dont think it is a motherboard issue i think you may have just flashed a wrong file that needs to be wiped out before continuing on. i have had this problem in the past with a galaxy s2 when i was developing custom roms for it. it took me a couple of wipes and factory firmware reflashes but i eventually got the phone back in working order. look here for the factory files you will need to re flash your phone with odin ----> https://samsung-firmware.org/model/SM-G925I/ also make sure you are using the latest version of ODIN you will to put your phone in download mode instead of recovery
Hi, could you fix it ?? I am facing the same issue.
