I wanted to increase the internal memory and i followed a tutorial(I am unable to paste the link since i am new to this forum) to do that. The tutorial basically used the 6GB pit file with a rom and flased both in ODIN.After that my phone was stuck on boot loop. Later i tried to install the stock ROMfrom sam mobile using Odin after installing the stock kernel. The kernel is installed but Odin Fails after NAND Write for the ROM. Then i tried to install CWM recovery and CM11-Nightly which I was running success fully before this exercise. Both of them do get installed properly but the phone doesn't boot and gets stuck on the cynogen logo. I did clear the cache and dalvik cache.
Can someone please guide me as to how can i recover my phone and also increase my internal memory!

Hi I have rooted my UK i9100 with odin and successfully installed resurrection remix previously. When trying to flash an updated version I stupidly forgot to factory wipe and now my phone wont boot, it gets stuck on the rom boot screen and i cant get into cwm.
I can get into download mode and from there have tried flashing another rom via odin (litening rom) to see if that would boot to get me into cwm but that freezes on the boot screen also. I tried to use Galaxys2recovery as shown on zedomax youtube channel but then realised that is done from gingerbread only. I tried reflashing "CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXX_LP6-v5.2-CWM5" via odin and then the litening rom again but that still hangs when trying to boot.
Is there something obvious I should be doing? ..I am (unsuprisingly) a noob
Thank you
you could have asked at the first time itself, before various yourown attempts ?
if you are able to get CWM now, try to install the ROM after data factory reset and all the wipes + system format from Mounts & storage.
if it didnt help again go to CWM do all the wipes and format system, and switch off and get into the download mod and flash a GB stock rom from ODIN

that's the thing, i cant get into cwm, or at least i don't know how to. Is there a file I can install from odin that will put me straight into cwm without having a working rom?
why do you wait to boot the phone to get into the CWM,
didnt you try Vol-up+Home+Power while phone is off
Hello
Here is short story:
I rooted i9100m, everything was fine (method entering recovery, open cwm and install busybox)
So I wanted to install cm9 and took rc2 for sgs2, boot into recovery, 1st I did wipe factory reset (took very long) and clicked on reboot phone after reseting, instead of install from sd... (no big deal I was thinking). Phone could not move from boot screen even after taking out battery and restarting.
After that we tried CM9 from cwm, CM9 with odin( version for odin of cm9). always the same, stuck in boot. I found this soft brick unbrick thread on this forum and tried flashing stock rom (bell canada) nothing....even tried stock ginger..same story. when I tried to wipe reset data I get kernel panic (after every flashing I tried to reset/wipe). Sometimes its "kernel panic" sometimes "E: /data could not be mounted or found" (something like that)
I still can enter download or recovery mode
I searched whole forum for solution but I couldn't find it
PS: there was a method with ODin using this pit and repartition but from provided download link was only stock rom nothing else.
please help
Hello.
I have a GT-i9305 andI tried the rooting by following the instructions at http://galaxys3root.com/ on my Ubuntu laptop with heimdall.
I managed to install the recovery and also flash the cwm zip. I saw som problems related to /cache/ so I wiped cache and after that I have not been able to get past boot logo. I hav ealso tried flashing a custom rom and doing a factory reset and wipe dalvik cache bu
t it did not help. I have tried Odin and flashing from a .tar.md5 file but it results in FAIL.
I can reach both download mode and recovery but that is all.
Please help, I need my phone.
did you use a i9300 method on your i9305? you've probably killed the phone.
flash a stock ROM via Odin (i9305 one) and factory reset from recovery. if that doesn't help - send it to Samsung.
And this is the i9300 section, you're in the wrong place
Thanks.
I got back to stock. I will try to use the i9305 method.
Mount /sdcard not possible
Wel, I have the same problem.
Samsung SIII International version. After installing a new rom (believe it was "jellybam-v6.1.0_i9300-STABLE.zip") but I am not sure, the phone boots only to the original logo and then the screen goes black. Nothing more.
I can get into recovery mode and download mode so I tried several recovery versions (CWM, TEAMWIN, latest ClockworModRecovery v 6.0.2.8.) and several ROM.
No mater what I install, I get the same results. Boot phone and it hangs after the standard Samsung logo.
I was able to find out "/sdcard" could not be mounted. All the recovery programs I used with the option "mount unmount" reporting the same "/sdcard could not be mount" error.
Formatting /sdcard all so won't work.
I am thinking installing a new kernel but I have some difficulties in finding witch one will work with my phone?
Any suggestions or help is really appreciated b/c I have no idea what to do next.
Samsung I9300
Win 7
Latest USB drivers from Samsung installed
No Kies installed.
Odin3_v3.07 installed.
Using Odin I flashed:
CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4.tar
recovery-cwmtouch-6.0.2.8-GTI9300.tar
recovery-stock-dlj4-GTI9300.tar
recovery-stock-blg9-GTI9300.tar
And a few more.
Due to being unable to acces the phone installing a zip file is not possible. Using "installing a rom from zip, or sdcard" from recovery is not possible.
I tried installing a file using sideload but was not succesfull. I can get the phone in receiving a file from sideload but was unable to send a file from the PC.
Thanx in advance
you have to do a factory reset after flashing a new rom
Did wipe/clear/factory set etc every time just to find the phone goes black after the Samsung logo.
One particular thing: I can see the /sdcard in some recovery programs but can't modify it.
How can I transfer a zip file using Sideload?
I can get into "download a file using Sideload" on my phone but what should I do to get a zip file transferred. Maybe then I can use "install from zip" from a recovery.
Update Problem solved (for me) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2162908
I flashed the 9305 firmware from here http://www.samfirmware.com/ in Odin then I was back to stock.
Then I rooted the phone by this instruction.

I have not tried a custom rom but I think it should work.
I have my device rooted with a custom sam based firmware. (Neatrom superlite)The device is workimg fime but whanever i try to install or whem i try to unistall or access storage section the phone freezes and goes to infinite bootloop. What can i do now?
Have you tried installing the normal Neatrom by Sale?
I'd advice u flash back to stock via odin and check if the issue persist. if it does then u might need your pit file to flash and repartition your mem.
hi,
i got the set with hang on logo situation WITH RED ECXLAMATION MARK on left top corner
i tryed to flash it with odin with several versions but always failed when flashing SYSTEM.IMG!!!
i tryed with z3x same thing.
