Hi there,
Where are you downloading the firmware files from? Is it from a reliable source? Did your phone have enough power to complete the flash? What about a different computer?

Try an Older Version of 'ODIN' and see, Sometimes the latest version do pose Issues for u
I always use ODIN ver 1.85 as it has never failed for me so far

Have you followed this guide before posting on XDA: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/general/guide-t2345831
Regards, gsstudios

I did try that guide, and I got past the usual factoryfs.img but my phones battery discharged, and when I charged it, I still get FAIL at factoryfs.img

I had a similar problem to you, with the package3 file; try the files linked to here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10711126&postcount=315
Namely, try flashing the Stock-i500-VZW-System.tar.md5 file via ODIN's PDA.
Follow the instructions on the first page of that thread; it should get you to a stock (as far as I can tell, anyway) DI01.

[Q] SIII stuck at Samsung Logo

Hi everyone,
I'm having a great problem. Recently got rooted SIII with CF-CWM and ICS Rom. I tried to install recent update of official 4.3 announced for UK (BTU) downloaded from SamMobile.
I used ODIN 3.7 for this process. All went successfully. ODIN automatically did a factory reset but after reset phone is on Samsung logo. Logo and LED light are blinking but not going any further. And I'm unable to go into recovery as well.
Please someone help me out in this matter. I searched here but found nothing relevant. And by the way I'm in Pakistan.
Here is the log of ODIN:

[Q] Error while using ODIN to flash to stock.

Hi, I'm trying to restore my phone to stock using ODIN.
I have Odin 3.09 and have the latest Scamsung Kies installed (for the usb driver).

Are you positive you were on me7 and not mj7? Because the error you got for me7 looks the same as the one for mdk...

Positive. I had installed the rom/recovery before anything newer than me7 was released. And I remember when I upgraded from whatever it shipped with to ME7 because the upgrade window popped up and I tapped Install by accident. I had this installed: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2351840.
Edit: to confirm, I found my old post asking about the modules to get that rom to work on ME7: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=46944438
Was waiting for someone else to chime in who may know more than me. Have you tried booting into recovery from being powered off?

No problem, but yeah. After every failure I would battery-pull and go back into recovery.

So when you went to recovery it went to stock recovery I'm assuming? Or you got the error?
If it went to stock recovery did you try wiping everything before flashing in odin?

Isn't the recovery contained in the larger firmware files? What gain would flashing the stock recovery get?
I'm thinking I might just take the phone to a Verizon store and say, "Samsung kies told me it was going to update my phone, I took a shower and when I came back it was like this".
Edit: I untarred the firmware file, and it contained recovery.img. Can I flash that with odin?

I believe it has to be a tar. If you can get it on there and wipe data/factory reset it may get rid of safestrap and allow you to odin the full stock tar.

EFS problem

Hi. I have S6 edge SM-G925F. I tried to flash custom rom,but i didn't backup EFS files. And now as you can guess, i don't have signal. I tried to flash stock firmware with odin but i got error. How can i make EFS work again? Download from somewhere and flash it? If yes,would you share it?

What error did you get flashing stock in odin?
I dont think anybody will share there efs backup.. as you will end up with there imei, which means cloned imei, also its illegal to do that in some countrys.
Best way is to flash the same stock you had before.

Which region are you? Is your phone unlocked or is it locked to a network? What android version was you on?

Download the pit file from the link.
In odin click ap and insert the firmware again. The one you just used G925FXXU4DPGW.
click PIT and insert the pit file from the link. In options you need to check re partition and auto reboot.
Flash and that will fix the hidden.img
I was on android 6.0.1 August 1 st security patch. Im from Bulgaria so region should be Europe.

Did you try to flash the firmware with the PIT?
Try this if pit didn't work ...
Extract the firmware , rename hidden.img to hidden.img.tar
Now flash hidden.img.tar in AP with Odin
BTW : it is possible you have to restart your phone in download mode after flashing the firmware to flash the hidden.img.tar after it
Good luck

Someone please help me!!!

my s3(i9305) is stuck in download mode with stock recovery on it and ive got odin, but i cant get any stock roms booted on it, cant get onto the phone, and it dont have any working firmware on it...i just want to put it back to stock asap and get the dam thing working again.
any help would be great!!

the bar is blue
No, there is a 'window' on the bottom left of the app with text in it. What does that text say when you've attempted to flash the phone?. Need all of it, not just the result at the end.
The blue bar means the flash completed successfully but doesn't give any more info than that.

Sboot.bin is the bootloader so I presume that it is either locked or corrupt. I'm not sure if that is a pit error or not. You could try to find another file and hope it works but if you're absolutely sure the one you have is good then there's no point. You could try finding a stock rom that doesn't include the bootloader. Also flashing a pit file (only as a very last step) is an option but make sure it is the correct one for your specific model and region etc.
I hate recommending pit file flashing but in this case it could be viable from other reports around the site. Flashing a pit file is a last resort only, I cannot stress this enough.

Try using different USB cables and USB 2.0 ports.

ive only got the 1 usb port on my tablet
The sboot.bin is not flashing because the bootloader on the phone is newer than the bootloader in the ROM you are flashing, the ROM is not for your phone, and/or you need to try another computer.
It's unlikely that the bootloader is locked as AT&T and Verizon are the only two carriers I know of who lock down the bootloader.
i'm totally out of my knowledge zone here....i did do thison 1 of my old phones a few years back and some one wrote on a comment exactly how to make it stock again....but i'm buggered if i can find that post again....or thats even if the site still has that thread...can anyone point me in the right direction here please?
Ok this is what i get when i try and flash this:I9300XXUGNB5_I9300EVRGML2_EVR
which i got from sam pass and selected my exact model of phone from my country(uk) and the network i'm using....with odin v3.10

In use sammobile.com. The download speed for free accounts is not great but I usually start the download and do something else for a while.
