Have the same problem
How did you root your device? Starting Friday my phone will start, restart, and come back to the same state no matter what I do.
i used odin
i used odin and i installed clockwork recovery and supeuser. Somewere aling the line i screwed up i believe. I've had it rooted since i got it worked fine till yestrday then no recovery idk why or how it lost but that's where im at I've had no issues till now so there is no recovery at all i cannot remove account it stays whatever Rom i try changes but screensavers etc are the same cannot reset.
hmmmm, sounds familiar

Are you getting yours replaced? I thought someone would know how to fix this but apparently not only the generic note they know how to fix.
I would wait

I wish I was getting mine replaced, I took it to AT&T yesterday and they all but told me to get a new phone because it was not under warranty. Very pissed.

First off u dont use odin to put superuser on it...its in the play store all u use odin for is to root thats it u never use again PM me and ill help u with ur problem we can fix anything on the i717 sometimes even bricking!! So dont ever think we cant
cm9
There is a thread in the i717 section that will lead u step by step read and read again! Only use odin to root and to install cwm nothing else! Backup ur stock rom then find a custom rom that suits u and happy flashing!
cm9
it will not even flash in odin now. i just tried it about 5 times and no go.
so how was or how did they dertermin that you were out of warranty ? it came out in like feb so did they say it was altered or somthing?
Ur doing something wrong man.....if u was able to get in odin before now u cant its on ur end not the phone
cm9
if you can get into download mode then start from scratch. I personally would re root
then reinstall recovery then flash a rom. take it step by step. I know there are roms you can Odin that will give you root but since your having issues I would do them separately. edit
just try Odin the stock rom tar since you just want to send it in

Hey guys!
I need a little help, I want to hardbrick my phone(for warranty purposes since i have some issues...last owner overclocked it like hell... )
I actually have a plan to do it:
I am running a 4.1.1 JB rom and Siyah kernel...
so first I am going to reset the phone to its factory state(flash stock rom, kernel ect.).. and now here's where I need help..
I need a method to brick it, that is undetectable that I've done any changes to it...in one word, hardbrick not to boot up and stuff!
Thanks!
Sorry if I posted this in the wrong section, I'm reading the forums for a long time, but this is my first post on it!
I once went into CWM, mounts and storage and formatted everything... Worked for me. Well if by worked you mean hard bricked

Easy, flash a stock 4.0.4 firmware and keep it on stock kernel.
then just boot into recovery and start wiping everything.
Dont know if this is undetectable though
Moving to Q&A, please post all future questions there.

But if I reflash the stock kernel, it will flash the stock recovery, or not?
The stock recovery has wiping options too?
I had a little research on other bricking topics(other phone brands) throught xda and most peoples advice was to flash corrupted files through Odin,
like a boot.img or a corrupted update.zip to prevent the phone from even getting into download mode, making it an excelent paperweight I think that is fully undetectable sinc they cant do anything with it, and I can then tell that it will not boot up, I did nothing to it, tested with another battery, never fell, never got liquid, it was in a case, it has not even a scratch on it I would not do this if it wasn't necessary...I'ts always overheating like hell(I really tried everything to prevent that), even on charger, this is my second battery, my touchcreen response is poor, the bottom buttons are also laggy...I just want replacement before it's too late...It might hold up longer but my warranty expires on 31. Oct.

I would try using a firmware not meant for your phone and pull the plug out half way through flashing it with odin.
Then hope it gets hot around the camera and wont come on.....lol

Let's be reasonable here.
1. If you are not the first owner of the phone, then you might not be lucky with warranty service.
2. What are the issues you are facing? Can you list them?
Click to expand...

umm.. i'm the second owner, of course first, i will go and see my provider, and ask them about the warranty(will not bring the phone in first lol)!
Basicly the warranty sheet has no personal information, just the phone type, the IMEI, and the date when the other bought it!
The issues are, serious overheating around the camera area...it can never be interrupted, if the phone is on, it keeps overheating after about half an hour, I don't know what is the ideal temperature of a working device but after an hour I can't hold my phone without a thick case(or gloves lol)! It heavily affects the camera, focus has major issues, sometimes it says "can't connect to camera", touchscreen can be a little laggy when its hot...When I bought it from previous owner I didn't noticed it because on forums people kept complaining about heating, but then I realized that I was an idiot...I tried stock official roms, GB,CSI, and now JB, nothing changed!

Thanks you very much!
Its says:
"Brick bug?
YES. Insane chip."
So if I revert everything to stock and then I start wiping stuff in recovery itt will hardbricked?
Can't it be even fixed in Download mode with Odin?

very simple way to hard brick your phone.
Flash the wrong bootloader!

boot.img as far as i know is the kernel.
1. you need to download bootloader.tar Galaxy NOte GT N7000 (or any other samsung phone) and flash as pda via odin
or
2. you can download Galaxy SII bootloader.tar here.
then remove your cable as soon as odin starts writing the bootloader.
Gameover!

Thanks, haha I think I will try to pull out the cable when the flashing start but first I will ask my provider about the warranty of course
So my S3 went into a boot loop. And I dont know how I got to this point but now the phone wont even boot, when plugged in to my comp it shows the battery symbol but its greyed out with the circle in the middle, and it stays like that. If i hold the power putton it comes up with the Galaxy SIII GT i9300 screen but then goes back to the battery. I can get it to go into download mode though. I think somehow I may have deleted all the files required for the phone to actually boot(Im a n00b so im not completely sure) Can somebody please help me?
I was on custom ROM before and my binary counter is at 4, so sending into samsung doesn't sound like a great idea :/
Thanks for the help and sorry if this has been asked before, I have searched for hours.

If you also can go into recovery, try to wipe. In addition did you flash any custom kernel?
If not, try to reflash a rom with odin after you got into download mode or did you try this already?

If you mean with CWM mod, no I cant, it just shows the Galaxy S3 GT i9300 screen then goes black. Yes i did have a custom kernel, I believe it was the latest Perseus one. I already tried this with a stock rom and it idnt work, it said it had passed but i still can boot the phone.

as you can go into download mode but not recovery, what about flashing CWM another time (if you did not try it already). Maybe it solves the issue with recovery and from there you could go on trying to wipe etc.
Other options would be to do a mega or super wipe (if this is possible from odin & download mode, not sure though), to get your phone completely empty (mega) or at least to factory reset (super).

The thing is there is nothing wrong with my phone in terms of hardware. The problem that I am having is purely software, I think I just need to restore my phone to a previous version. I did see that thread but didnt feel my post belonged there as my problem is nothing to do with broken battery or mobo or anything along those lines. Hence why I am posting here
Just factory reset via recovery then flash a stock rom via Odin .
No recovery flash CF root via Odin .

I did install a stock ROM and it was still stuck on bootloop, left it like that for an hour, still nothing. So I went into CWM (after flashing it) Wiped and factory reset (noticing it said error mounting /data but ignored) and then restored with a backup I had. it did say error mounting /data and so skipped that step. Still stuck in boot loop. now that I try wiping again the same error occurs, error mounting /data any ideas please?
I did have this problem a few days back. The only thing i did was downloaded my Carrier stock firmwaer and extracted boot.img and used Samsung galaxy toolkit and make a filé that i was able to use with Odin. Dunno if ot helps you but my Phone is still going strong
I was only trying to root my Phone tho. No custom rom installera when i got The boot problem

Hi guys i have a issue here.
My phone was initially rooted in clockworkmod and running cyogenomod 10. But the rom kept hanging which pisses me a little.
So, i did a stock rom install using odin. After the reflash, i can see and hear the startup music, thereafter, it starts to restart. From there on, it reloops at the samsung S3 GT-I9300.
I tried to send to samsung for repair and they couldnt resolve this. Instead the recovery mode was restored back to the original (without clockworkmod now).
With my issues, can you guys help me on this whether can i restore the phone again? Appreciate your comments!
*BTW, i had backup in clockworkmod on my external sd card.

Could not do factory reset in software because i cant even get to that.
Did the "reset" in recovery mode by deleting user data files, doesn't work
Is this a complete brick for me?

If you wont read the basics then yes take to service and pay for a repair as you do not have a clue what you are doing its safer .

I also think something went wrong while flashing. As stated above, try factory reset and flash again. My guess would be you forgot to wipe your (Dalvik) cache, had a similar problem.

You said Samsung didn't manage to fix it? It it was a local repair center?
The only thing to do is to flash a whole complete stock Rom with Odin, see in stock roms there's I'm general section to grab one. You can try also to use Samsung s3 toolkit in original android section, stickies.. if you have a Rom image it will be easier to flash it with it no risk messing with Odin settings.
Perhaps you should read about pit corruption, it can be this also.

Hello.. I have faced similar issue in India with looping of logo on my Galaxy S3.
I went to the official service center and they flashed my phone 2 times with original stock rom but the issue did not go.
Finally they have to replace my phone's mother board completely and it got resolved.
I am still not sure how this has happened or is it some kind of virus.. but i was watching a video and my phone hanged and looping of logo started on my S3.
Good that my phone was under warantee so i did not have to pay any money...
But some senior members should through some light on it...
Hi Guys,
i managed to get it back to stock rom by flashing the below linked rom.
The samsung service are really......What they can't solve, they would use the worst scenario which is to change the board...
Actually i have been charged (30 bucks) by them which they can't resolve. They told me that they had flashed the ROM and that incured the charges....I was thinking wat dafuq....Cannot resolve still have the cheek to charge me. Anyway in short, they void my warranty because they saw the cwm. They were very happy when they saw that.... Anyway the warranty left 3 months, not of a issue to me.
For people who have the same issue with me, just flashed the rom (JB) that was in the below link. All the best.

Once knox is tripped it stays that way however it dont affect anything with the functionality or abilities of the phone. The Tmobile boot loader is not locked. I wouldnt count on kies or smartswitch working but i havnt used them so not sure. I do use my google account and all my stuff is restored with that.

one last question is it possible her to downgrade before she takes that kernel? and once she takes the kernel is she rooted or will she have to download towelroot or autoroot?
You can always flash a full tar file to go back to whatever firmware you like. Flash away and if you have issues Odin back to the firmware of your preference.

Untick auto-reboot, then you have to hard boot into TWRP recovery (hold down home, vol+, and power) when the Odin bar is full on the PC screen and the phone screen. Then flash the supersu zip
