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.

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!"
Hello.
I tried to flash stock XEO ROM to my S3, but while the whole process it stuck on loading system.img. Then when i tried to turn on the phone it shows me the yellow triangle and info that i can recover the system with Kies. But it also didn't work. I tried to flash other stock roms but it always is stuck in booting system.img
FIX:
I downloaded different roms and different ver. of android
Tried to flash several times with pit file and without but it was still stuck at system.img
I tried different ports and the result was the same
I changed the cable and reinstalled drivers and I succeed to flash 4.0.4 ver without pit file with odin 3.07
Have you tried flashing stock rom via ODIN?
Yeah, that's what I'm talking about I tried several times and it still doesn't work :crying:

Did you try install stock firmware with PIT file?
If you have 16 GB version of GT-I9300, you can try this PIT file (I tested on my device).
Odin 3.07 with PIT file;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2762337&d=1401023420
Download a stock ROM from sammobile, then put it to PDA. Before start flashing, press PIT button on Odin and select the PIT file, then press Start.
I decided to send my phone to service, when will it come back still bricked I will try it
Ok, I will get my phone back UNFIXED because they told me at the service that i have to pay for changing the firmware because my phone comes from other country.. I disagreed and told them to send my phone back.
I had an idea how to fix my phone and also some questions about that.
First, is there any way to full wipe my phone without recovery, I mean that i can;t access recovery on my bricked phone and i think that causes the problem with flashing any rom with odin (that the brokem rom i still installed and odin can' flash the new one over it). When I'll wipe the phone completely i suppose it might solve the problem. But does wiping the phone makes the phone unrecognizable for PC?
The second idea is kinda connected with the first one. I thought about flashing cf root with odin into my phone and as far as i know, it has its own recovery so i can easily wipe the phone with it and then flash the stock rom.
I know that my reply looks kinda messy but I hope you know what i mean.

Bump, need an answer to this.
up
Ok my phone is finally alive :cyclops: Here's the solution i figured out:
I downloaded different roms and different ver. of android
Tried to flash several times with pit file and without but it was still stuck at system.img
I tried different ports and the result was the same
I changed the cable and reinstalled drivers and I succeed to flash 4.0.4 ver without pit file with odin 3.07
I will add it to the first post for those who have the same problem, cheers :good:
Hi I have one samsung Galaxy S3 which is stuck on Boot Screen. I tried to flash it but odin shows fail. I tried pit file same. Is there any way to fix it. I have Z3X also with me
@arjun_anil, in the worst case your internal memory is gone. So before threwing away, try firmware again: download your firmware, drivers, Odin from sammobile.com and follow exactly instructions, given there. If Odin finishs with failed again, post the log.
I tried to flash efs file and this is what I got
This is what I got from odin flashing efs file
Boot screen huh? Sounds like is missing/corrupted is files. Have you tried recovery an factory wipe? Also if you can connect to Odin, then you could reflash. But first your gunna need to know a few things about this brick here. Like the android version, carrier, an kernel version. So you can download an flash the proper files. I'm guessing your on a Verizon phone and or you didn't install Samsung drivers to help Odin's successful flashing chances. If you don't know your phones info, you can find out in recovery an Odin modes on the phone if accessible.

hi. i've flashed official 4.4 via odin in my Samsung Galaxy S3 (i9305). but it stucks on WELCOME screen. Welcome screen is screen which appears after SAMSUNG logo, from where i can select language and access accessibility settings. i tried different custom roms too but phone stucks on WELCOME screen (basically setup screen). I can't move further because everytime i restart or flash new rom it stucks.
any idea how to get rid of this.
REMEMBER: it's not bootloop error. Phone boots properly but after the SAMSUNG logo on the set up screen (which i'm calling WELCOME screen) it stuck.
Have you done a factory reset in recovery mode, after flashing the rom via odin?

The main problem i was facing is that after flashing custom rom there was null imei and UNKNOWN baseband version. Then i install hyper rom but didn't helped. Then i install omni 4.4 rom but didn't help. Then i flashed N4Elite rom but stuck on welcome screen... Then i download official firmware but still stuck at welcome screen.
Did you perform a factory reset after flashing the latest stock ROM using stock recovery as suggested by @rodman1 ?

Kindly guide me. Right now I've 2 issues:
1: Null imei/unknown baseband version.
2: stuck on welcome screen.
Kindly send the links of official firmware (you suggest) and pit file.
Is there any Modem.bin file which will resolve my Null imei issue if flashed ?
*I'm from Pakistan so choose firmware according to my region.

I've searched about country code. On a xda forum i found that south africa, pakistan, algeria, oman, kuwait etc have same code. I think South African based (vodafone) will be suitable. Although my uncle sent this i9305 from south africa.
Maybe you can find some help in the S3 African thread or ask there?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php?searchid=447035869
In i9305 section I haven't found much infos, if I search for south africa and/or pakistan.
Otherwise I would try an other samsung stock version, and than its try and error. In i9305 section is also a thread with several modems, there you can also download and try different possibilities.
Edit just to make clear: modems for the i9300 won't work with the i9305
Edit2: there are 2 vodafone versions for South Africa on sammobile.....see attached

I'm downloading 4.3 (first one-XFV)... I'll let you know about this new stock rom.
I tried to flash stock rom(soith african) via odin but couldn't flash. Odin is giving red error FAILED!.... I tried the same file which i flashed 3 days ago, at that time it was successful but today it's getting failed. Why is it so?
Help!!!
Post the Odin log so we can see the exact error.
If you can still access download mode you need to flash the latest stock i9305 firmware. Stock firmware is the only way.
**The biggest tip I can give you is to flash the stock firmware, boot to recovery, factory reset, flash stock firmware AGAIN. This makes sure any old remnants are obliterated from memory, forcing all partitions to be reflashed. **
If you cannot access download mode then you will have to try the kies method. Don't hold your breath as you can still be sorely disappointed. It will be nothing short of a miracle if we get this phone booted ever again.
Good luck!.
Thank you all guys.
Bisically i was facing two issues at a time.1:Stuck on Welcome screen. 2:Null imei/unknown baseband versiin. MY ISSUES ARE RESOLVED NOW and my phone is working fine. Here are those steps i performed:
1: Downloaded official firmware according to my region (south africa based for me).
2: This room contained sboot.bin file and odin was not able to flash this file and was giving error. So i just extracted whole .tar file(official firmware ****.tar). Deleted this SBOOT.BIN file and again packed all file (excluding sboot.bin) into .tar file.
3: Flashed this modified .tar via odin.
4: This time process was successful and no error in flashing.
5: On restart my phone was stuck on White samsung logo not the blue one. On research i found that PARAM.BIN file is missing which is responsible for all logos and images etc.
6: So i downloaded this file for my i9305. Extracted the .tar file again. Copy paste this PARAM.BIN in folder where i extracted files and after that packed all file in .tar file.
7: Flashed again via odin. Flash was successful as well as white samsung logo issue was resolved. But now phone stuck on Blue samsung logo (bootloop).
8: For bootloop issue, i put my phone in recovery mode using Home+Volume up+Power button simultaneously.
9: Performed Wipe Cache, Factory Reset and Restart.......... Et Voila ..... My phone is working fine now. No bootloop and this also resolved my NULL IMEI issue as well. :good:
Hey everyone,
I was on stock with my S9+ and because of my slow carrier regarding updates I wanted to flash the latest BTU firmware from sammobile on it.
I downloaded everything, went into download mode and everything went well until the ODM.img file. Now it just stays like that without any error but also not going forward.
I do not know now what to do and how to get it flashed and working again? I am afraid, if I cancel the process now that I will not be able to boot again.
UPDATE:
First I was trying to do it with ODIN 3.13. Now I decided to try with ODIN 3.12 and after clicking on flash it just flashed the moden within a few seconds and rebooted the phone saying it was successful. At first it was strange because it did not flashed the system and took only 2 seconds, but the phone booted fine, with the data still there but on the newest firmware.
So, seems like the issue was in the lates version od ODIN, like always.
I'm having the same issue. Trying to flash unbranded XEO firmware on branded S9+. Everything goes fine till ODM.IMG. Older ODIN isn't flashing anything, phone just reboots.

Try patched Odin from here - https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/patched-odin-3-13-1-t3762572
I always had problems with both versions of Odins on my u965u1, but patched Odin made wonders.

I tried this as well and also got stuck at the ODM file.
It's quite safe to hold down Bixby+Volume down+Power when it gets stuck and just repeat the Odin process.
I concluded that you can't use the Home CSC file when changing firmware from any other to BTU (or any other different operator version). The only way to do it was to allow a complete wipe of the phone by using the CSC file not the HOME version. After that everything went OK.
As a tip, if you are currently stuck at odm.img then restart the phone in download mode (Bixby+Volume down+Power) and as a temporary fix to get your phone back, use Odin 3.12 and flash all the files AP, BL, CP and Home CSC. It will go through very quickly, it won't change your CSC nor will it wipe any data. Then use Smart Switch to make a backup, then repeat Odin with all the files but use the non-Home CSC file which will wipe the phone, and when complete restore via Smart Switch.
just flash with .pit file and see the magic
