So i bought a s3 and it was vodafone branded one so i reflashed it using odin to stock 4.3 and now i have a problem it says emergency calls only even though sim is installed and phone worked 100% before reflash
imei is in place
i know there is a solution via twrp but i want a permament solution that doesnt require root as i want to sell that s3 to a local shop and if its rooted or has custom recovery they wont take it simple as that
so is there any way to solve it without twpr and installing patched modem
Boot into download mode to confirm the model number and make sure it matches the stock rom you flashed.

Hi I have done something silly in the flashing process and now the phone wont get past the Samsung logo and is stuck in boot. I can get to Recovery and Download mode. Have tried flashing stock ROM twice but still the same result.
Here is what happened
1) Flashed Stock 4.1.2 XELLA ROM - Through ODIN - was successful, used it for 2 days
2) Due to battery drain issues did a Factory reset and Reflashed XELL4 Stock ROM through ODIN
3) Phone got stuck in boot screen on Samsung logo so reflashed the XELLA firmware again but its still Stuck
Each time the ODIN gave a successful flash but the phone does not get past the Samsung Logo
Dont know what to do it looks like something got screwed up perhaps due to the new bootloader in XELLA which has messed up the process???:crying:
Device I9300, UK version from Carphone warehouse
Will it help if I try the emergency firmware recovery on should i send the device to Samsung as its stll covered under warranty (Have only flashed Stock RoM and not rooted)

Not an expert, but would a full root be able to fix this?

So I have a Sprint Galaxy Mega and it seems as though it may be semi-bricked. It will not boot past the GALAXY MEGA logo. It will just continuously power cycle to and from that logo. If I attempt to put it in recovery, it will say "RECOVERY BOOTING" in blue letters as usual, then power cycle right back to the GALAXY MEGA screen. It will boot into Odin mode and accept Odin files, but after attempting do do a typical "stock Odin" scenario, nothing has changed. I looked around for the Pit but cannot seem to find it. Does anyone has a reliable link to the latest Odin stock restore and the PIT file that matches it?
Maybe an error with your system data. So you can't reboot into recovery ? If you can try to wipe data and cache and reboot.
It may be an abnormal re-partition when flashing stock rock, and then I can't help you (have the i9205 international model). Some members of this section have the Sprint version, try to send them a PM if nobody can help you
Nope, no recovery. I was considering flashing a custom recovery to it to see what it does but I don't wanna kill the phone any more than it already is...
Yes I understand. But flashing custom recovery can solve your problem, only if you can boot on it. I think it can't make more damages to your phone, he just always stuck on boot phase like a brick, but if you don't want to try, wait for a developer making you a PIT file. More safe, the Galaxy Mega have a too poor development support for risk anything...
Well I went ahead and flashed TWRP to it. It will boot into TWRP just fine. Tried flashing the stock L900 ROM zip and it still won't boot.
Well I installed a custom ROM, SlimKat, and the phone boots. If I install the stock ROM located in the following link, OP's signature, the phone goes right back to bootlooping. ???
I need either the stock ROM or a ROM with dialer codes because this phone will be flashed to a regional carrier.
what recovry version you use bro. maybe recovery problem. try use your custom rom to flash another recovery from philz. the latest one. some time recovery dont work properly to downgrade from 4.4.2 to stock 4.2.2.
Great, so with Philz Touch Recovery, I never had problems for downgrade and I do this often for testing roms. Now it should not bootloop if you reflash stock.
I am using "CWM-based recovery 6.0.4.7"
I will try Philz recovery
After trying Philz recovery to flash the stock file I found, it once again bootlooped. Is there another stock ROM floating around somewhere or possibly a custom ROM that has dialer codes such as ##3282# enabled?
No idea... But actually the most complete stock based custom rom is MegaFire I think. Flash V5 (not V5x !) it should be enabled.
I don't see what is the problem while flashing stock rom... Oh ! Maybe you haven't enabled USB Debugging, I forgot to do that one time and I had some issues, in case you try to flash a firmware where Knox or others features are on with a modem without these, may cause bootloop. I've searched for 2 days before solve that little problem...
Have you tried another firmware ? If you can flash custom rom, something went wrong before flash... Odin folder is complete ?
Strange...once again a boot loop after flashing the MegaFire ROM
I'm almost certain I need the PIT file. I cannot find it anywhere.
Well I got the phone to boot from that rooted stock ROM FINALLY. I don't remember for sure but I think what I did was first flash TWRP, then flashed boot.img.tar that I found somewhere, it was listed for the Sprint Mega. I then booted into TWRP and flashed the stock rooted ROM(zip) I mentioned before. It now boots perfectly and everything works except one tiny little detail. No WiFi, no cellular signal at all. Baseband version: unknown in About phone.Already tried flashing the Sprint stock modem from the same download link as the ROM and it didn't work.
I'm having the same problem too dude, I
I download n flash all.the firmware I could find online, since I have no idea what the country of origin is. But most of them work, but no WiFi, Bluetoothand the sim card slot don't read

I brought galaxy s2 from three carrier in UK. Accidently I hard brick my phone and flash firmware from sammobile. Com via odin . Everything is fine in this jellybean stock rom. Now I can't flash any custom rom. It gives status 7 errors. I tried many roms. I updated cmw recovery to latest version by rom manager but still can't flash any. Does other stock rom changes s2 model number. For now it's showing gt i9100.Was it att or tmobile or skyrocket or else when I brought it? Why can't I flash rom? Why there is no twrp available for galaxy s2 this model? Help me guys. God bless you!
I've had that error on kk ROMs when tried to flash from old recovery. If I remember you should have at least 6.0.47 recovery version. Try to flash Gustavo_s kernel,Apollo or doromanx and try to flash again.
When flashing via recovery cwm has a security check that checks the model of your phone to the model of what rom you are flashing . If they do not match It returns status 7 error which prevents from installing wrong rom and hardbricking your phone .
Error can happen when recovery is not updated . A simple fix is to make sure you are on the latest recovery .
TWRP : I think it doesn't have the security check however :
INSTALLING WRONG ROM WILL MOST LIKELY HARD BRICK YOUR DEVICE
I am sure you know that already .
There is TWRP for i9100 . There are methods to remove the security check via editing the rom but it is not recommended

Thank you guys for reply. I flash kernel once and it was struck on boot screen. As you said there is twrp available for galaxy s2. I have heard lot of positive vibes about twrp. But in their official website s2 gt I9100 is not listed. It's only for s2 Exhilarate SGH-i577. Is it correct? Any working twrp download link for particular I9100 model? I have heard that twrp are less likely to status 7 errors.
Apparently twrp is not officially supported by i9100 however there are ports by other people . I know because of my last attempt to install cm11 snapshot m8 after flashing gone abit wrong I was getting status 7 error even on my backups .
Try installing (or using kernel) omni-rom . It is available with cwm or twrp kernels ... not sure how it fits with carriers though ...

How did you recover from last brick ? Did you flashed stuff or had the mainboard changed ?
Hey guys my friend has gs3 and when he has trying to install a mod got it stuck in a boot loop. We tried wiping dalvic cache and hard resetting it but to no avail, finally we downloaded paranoid android to flash a new rom but twrp gave us a message saying unable to mount preload we then used odin to reflash cwm and try again but the device freezes at the boot animation. We have decide to try and flash the stock firmware using odin tomorrow. However we have no clue if it is going to work.
Any help is appreciated.

Factory reset after flashing stock firmware, if that doesn't cure them try the rescue firmware from the thread in general forum.
If your friend flashed a mod designed for a different model number then it could be hard bricked.
Flashed the stock firmware but now it wont accept the sim card and no other rom will work
Is it possible the boot loader is locked?
No, the i9300 bootloader isn't locked apart from Chinese stock firmwares.
Without any information on what your friend did to the phone it isn't possible to say what is broken.
Check the imei and serial number match the ones under the battery.
Hello guys, i tried to root my G925F using the howto without tripping KNOX.
First i flashed the engineering Bootloader without any error messages in Odin. AFter that i flashed TWRP from the Thread and from there on the phone doesn't boot anymore, only the splash screen appears and nothing further. I tried to install lower versions of the TWRP. 2.8.6 , the stock recovery, other bootloaders....nothing.
My phone does not boot anymore.
Is there any hope i don't need to throw it away? Dammit i bought it yesterday and in the Thread was written it works with 5.0.2 AND 5.1.1 but it doesn't work with 5.0.2.
What can i do? If maybe try to flash a stock rom ? I am really desperate, yesterday my Galaxy ALPHA died and now this..
1. try using twrp 2.8.6.1 flashed through odin
if that doesn't work then
2. 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
should sort it out
see at the people that flashed it on 5.0.2 it works..
you are sure having 5.0.2 because if you have 5.1.1 it will not boot if you not flash the kernel and the supersu
you can enter recovery..?
