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.

Hello
I was trying to flash an stock ROM in my i9300 when it got stucked and i bricked my phone.
Now when i try to flash a rom or a kernel odin gets stuck at "NAND Write Start". I tried to flash a PIT first with only repartition checked and them flash a kernel with the pit and auto boot and F reset chechek (saw this mehtod in a forum ). When a flashed the pit odin said pass but when i try to do the kernel odins gets stuck at setting up connection
Can someone help please??
( tried to take of the baterry, reboot the pc, tried all drives, installed drivers again, and i am not running kies on second plane)
Visit the rescue firmware thread:

Follow the instructions exactly, if that doesn't work then you've damaged the nand and need a new motherboard.

I wil try thank you for the answer
Sorry, but the download link is dead, do you know where can i find a similiar link
I was able to find it and flash it and everything went all right, my IMEI changed!!!
Is there anything i can do restore my original IMEI???
If you flashed an rom earlier than EMG then update to EMG, if you are on a later rom then your efs partition is probably corrupt after your brick.
If so then restore the backup of efs you made before you flashed, there is no other way to regain imei number apart from a service centre.

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:
A while ago my phone started to restart itself for no good reason. Then it got worse and it starts randomly resetting itself (factory reset). To solve this issue I tried to do a manual factory reset myself, and the problem persisted.
I can deal with these random restarts, but then one day as it restarts it got stuck at the "Samsung Galaxy S3" screen. I tried to do another factory reset in CWM and clear the cache, but it says "E:\cache\...." isn't mounted. As I investigate further it seems the reason that it can't boot might be because the memory is not mounted I guess?
I can boot into Download mode and CWM perfectly fine, so I decided to try to flash the Stock Recovery and Stock ROM through Odin. Connection between Odin and the phone was set up fine, but then it stopped at this error message "Complete(Write) operation failed." Flashing either stock rom and recovery yields the same error . It simply can't write to the memory it seems.
Now I'm stuck at this start screen. I've heard flashing a PIT file might be able to fix it, but I have no idea what that is.
Is the phone bricked? How do I fix this? Should I use the Rescue Firmware in this post? It would be great if anyone can help me since I have been asking for help on other forums but got absolutely no response...
GT-i9300
If you can boot to download mode you can try to use the rescue firmware. No, it isn't bricked because it still works
Thanks for the response! I'm going to try the rescue firmware, but I see that it says "KOR" on the file name. Is that referring to "Korea"? My phone isn't bought in Korea does that matter? Also what's the CSC thing it's talking about?
Your description matches emmc corruption/failure, so it is a software brick.
Follow the guide for the rescue firmware it doesn't matter about the country or CSC, but make sure you include the pit file.
If that fails to flash then it's time for a new phone.

I just downloaded the zip file, but it seems like it doesn't have a pit file inside. So where can I get that file? Thanks again.

There are two versions in the rescue firmware page 4.1.2 and 4.3 the pit file is in the 4.1.2 version and can be used on both.
Now I tried to flash them with Odin 3.07, it doesn't fail nor success. Instead it got stuck at "Get PIT for mapping.." I read that this might be a driver problem, but I've reinstalled my drivers, and I even tried all the usb ports on my computer. I've terminated Kies' process, but it's still not working!
What should I do to get Odin to write onto the device???

It won't write for a reason, the emmc chip is damaged.

i also have the same problem with 920x (the demo version) i did the same wey
Yes of course. Everything is fine and it does the first steps but it fails at writing the nand. Does anyone have a PIT file? Maybe that way it can be fixed. I think the pit is wrong and Odin addresses a wrong area of the nand memory.

Damn, i have the same issue, after flashing the TWRP recovery image with Flashify, my phone is stuck at the splash screen "Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge", i tried to flash the root file with the stock recovery (the 920f one), and my phone doesn't boot... So i also tried to flash a stock firmware through Odin and i have the nand fail error ! Hope that we'll have a solution quickly.
Maybe there is a way to read the nand structure of 920x. That might help solving the problem.

Problem solved but i have a 925f not a 920x :/
It's the demo version for the Edge or for the normal S6 ?
You need to flash the right firmware for the right version through Odin.
do you guys tried odin the stock recovery 1st?
Where can I find the stock recovery?

Ok for what its worth it:
the follwoing files can write the nand:
CF-Auto-Root-zeroflte-zerofltexx-smg920f.tar.md5
twrp-2.8.6.0-zerofltespr.img.tar
But the phone doesnt go into recovery, eventhough the setup processes is successful.
The following files however, can not write to nand and fail:
G920FXXU1AOD9_G920FOXA1AOD9_G920FXXU1AOD9_HOME.tar.md5
G920F-XXU1AOD9-BOOTLOADER.tar.md5
Maybe it helps a little.
But the phone cannot boot anything but the download mode.

now does those files compatible with your phone? I know u said you have galaxy the 920x (the demo version) but I really can't tell you does those files work with your phone or not, may be not that's why your phone is soft brick right now.
Maybe but the first file I flashed and which made the phone stuck at the logo was the root file. I tried the other files to solve the problems. But still usually it should let me flash a original file from Samsung servers but it doesn't. Nand write error.

have you solved it ...?? facing same problem
I have the same with my G925F, used the howto-flash-g92xf-and my phone doesn't boot only the splash screen
download kies 3 and then plug your device in, go to tools at the top and then firmware upgrade and initialisation, enter sm-g925f in the model number and then when it asks for your serial number then enter it from the back of the phone. (its in really faint writing) then follow the onscreen instructions
sometimes people have select reactivation lock in Samsung account and that block flash

Have the same problem dont know what to do, anyone can solve the problem. I flash the root file with odin it give me an error, then a screen of warning to start the phone with smart switch, try to flash stock fw, and Im here blocked, please help, thanks.
You can try this guys, It worked for me, but the "secret codes" on phone app won't work (doesnt for me). If anyone find a way to solve this, it would be great!!!

never root boot loop stuck in download mode SGH-1777 Won't do anything else? HELP?:crying: I read your other threads but it is stock and I have no clue on root.
I just want a working phone! My new S7 won't even turn on!! No matter what I do?? Kies won't even see either phone! I tried uninstall and reinstall didn't work either. Please help me?
Deleted by poster.
Well you said i777 then you said s7. If you have a i777 you're in the right forum. The s7 forum is over there somewhere.
Download the MD8 firmware odin tar file, put phone in download mode, connect phone to computer, then flash it. If that gets it working ok, if not then throw your phone into recovery mode and do a data factory reset.
What StoneyJSG said. The odin file is found here
fast download

slow download

You will need samsung usb drivers and odin. There are many guides on how to flash stock fw with odin.
