S3 no system - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi.
I've got a big problem for me.
My phone was perfectly fine until yesterday, it just turned off and get a bootloop (clearing cache was helpful but not this time) so i wanted to format the data but missclicked (didnt realise that) and wiped everything. How now i can install any rom? Phone is not recognised in odin and i havent got any sdcards.
What can i do now? I need to fix it ASAP

Adb push, buy an cheap sd card, try to install the bootloader drivers of the S3.
Maybe an dead emmc

Have you tried using different USB cables and USB ports to get the recognized in Odin? I assume the phone is in download mode when you connect it to the phone.

[Q] Need help, please....

Hi there, i have a prob with my Archos 101G9 ...i had granted Root Access and ran on the FW 3.2.80 without any Problems. Yesterday (even not really my day i decided to do an OTA Update to FW 4.0.4, what failed several times after downloading and confirming to install... i haven't tried to install it via PC first, but also i boot into recovery and deinstalled Customer Edition (please dont ask why, dont know it either...) end of all, connecting my G9 to PC and choosing Firmware Update in Recovery or Reformat Device in Recovery is ending in ...who guess... nothing, and i stuck in that f***g Recovery Screen.
The drive that normally appears in Windows when you tick one of those options wont appear and i have no Idea what to do now... its not cheap enough to use it as a bookstand...
All in one...to install a Custom Rom on an Android Phone is really much easier than that story, BUT... can anybody help me?
Thanks in advance and i apologize if my english sounds a bit stupid... it's not my native language
-try using another USB port and/or USB cable
-try reformatting the device in recovery (remember to plug the charger)
-in the meantime search how to root ICS (our rooting process was made for honeycomb, you will need root to install SDE again)

PUUH... seems like i got it... that might have to do with the particular order to do things... let the device unplugged and choose Reformatt System in Recovery... dont plug USB in before "press ok to disconnect" appears... then in windows Explorer you can see the Folder "A101...", where you can put the update file in...
Second time...thanks, gonna install and root that instantly ...glad, that its not a bnookstand anymore

Semi brick. You are my last hope

Hey, you are my last hope.
I bought a used galaxy s2 with a software defect, I didnt know: 1. Mistake
Now, I'm stuck in a bootloop, I can't go into the recovery, but in download mode.
So I'm not totally screwed.
But, when I'm using the jig to go into download mode, my windows 7 64 bit laptop does not recognize the phone at all. So Odin does not work.
So how can I manage to get the drivers installed completely, without the need to boot the sgs2 up...
Pls help me!
It is an international i9100 from Germany

Does that mean you have not installed KIES or the Samsung USB drivers ???

Installed kies but its not running in the background. Like it should be.
Normally, if the sgs2 is on, windows installs the drivers. But in my case,y device is only the download mode available... So it doesn't recognize my phone instead it is an unknown device...
I hope you can understand what I mean...
So I need a way to install drivers for s2 without having a bootable device...
Ideas?

You only need to install KEIS...
after opening ODIN and you phone connecting, are you getting ID:COM box highlighted yellow, and in the messege box its wriiten "added" then you got drivers and phone is recognized..

Normally, the drivers are installed during download mode. This is because download mode seems to use different serial port-like drivers. Try another PC.
Try this!
Put your phone in download mode, connect cable
Go to windows update and check for updates!
You should find the updated drivers in the optional updates
Good luck

S3 Bricked [Soft?]

Hello all, I have a GS3 international GT-I9300
I'll try to go through the story as fast as I can and give as much detail so you guys can understand how I got here.
Bought the phone unlocked, I was stock, I rooted and then I decided to install a new ROM. I went with Resurrection Remix, it was working great. I did this on a desktop back home. They released a new update to RR so I did a OTA update with "Update Me" apparently the thing flashed but it didn't, the phone still worked but NFC wasn't working as well as having lost root access and some other stuff wasn't working correctly, but I lived with it.
I moved to Florida (home is in NY) and I have a laptop with me, for some reason my laptop used to be able to transfer files to my S3, but it wasn't doing it any more after a while. So it would just charge it. I was in a hotel room last week trying to tether via USB but the PC wasnt having it, it could not locate the phone. This week I moved to a different hotel with internet and decided I would flash stock on my S3 to get rid of all these bugs and get root again, I tried flashing stock through recovery and it wasn't going, so I tried flashing RR again (this time downloaded from the site RR site) and it worked. Still no USB connection but I had root back. I looked around my PC and apparently the Samsung drives are not installing or something on my PC. I installed Kies, but nothing, I tried a stand alone driver install and nothing, so I just gave up and bought Mobile Odin pro from Gplay to try to flash again.
Mobile Odin for some reason (I blame it on myself) wasn't finding/flashing stock so again I decided to try and flash RR and see what would happen. It flashed RR and turned on fine. Then I just decided to look for an NFC fix on XDA. Once I found my NFC fix (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32029713&postcount=8367) I decided to just copy the files to the system folder, NFC still not working, rebooted and NFC still no working, so I figured I would try to flash the fix through mobile odin seeing as how I can't get my PC to pick up on the USB. I tried flashing but MO just kept bouncing it back and re-booting into RR. Tried again and no flash. So I decided to again try and flash stock. I tried going into Recovery, the phone shut off like it always does, came back on but stayed in the Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 logo and would not move. I shut it off again, tried turning it on again and still stuck on the galaxy logo. Now, if I leave the phone off and plug in the USB, it won't show the battery charging image, it will actually turn straight onto the galaxy logo again and stay there. I can get the phone into download mode, but like I said my pc won't recognize the drivers.
Now, here are my questions:
What happened?
Can this be fixed?
Am I an idiot?
If I can get the drivers installed on another PC as well as Odin (1.85), will the new PC "see" the S3 or are the drivers on the phone deleted as well? (if that sort of thing can happen, idk.)
I'm going to see if I can borrow a buddy's PC and download the drivers as well as odin to try and bring my S3 back to life, I just want to know, what happens if I can't get the other PC to pick it up ether because the drivers on the phone are deleted (if that's a thing) or what I can expect if it is connected.
What are the steps or guides to follow here? I just got it into Download mode and it says on the top of the screen:
ODIN MODE
Product name: GT-I9300
Custom Binary Download: Yes (2 counts)
Current Binary: Custom
System Status: Custom
sorry , i am sometime getting headache reading long english text so i just briefly look over.
your PC doesn't recognize your S3 ? is that correct ? hmmm , is it possible that your PC (Microsoft Windows I assume?) system is damaged due to something like virus or some reasons ? i have encountered that kinda problem before and be OK after i reinstalled the system.
If it's a soft brick, then it can defiantly be fixed. You might, however, lose your data along the process.
Be glad it's not hard bricked
It happened to me many times, USB error "unknown device" connected. Only fix for it was reinstalling Windows so better if you can use different PC or laptop. Install Kies and other USB drivers. Restart computer, download and run Odin v 3.0x. Flash your phone.
If this doesn't work then maybe your phone have a problem with USB port?

Thanks for the replies guys. I'll try to fix tit today, I didn't get a chance to do it last night. If anything I'll update you guys with what's going on.
Like I was saying, I'll try using a different PC to fix it. Now, if I can't get Odin to recognize the phone, what would be the next step?

USB Connection impossible.. how to flash now?

Hello people,
i got a small problem. I just bought a sm-g925F and be very happy with it so far. Well the problem is, that i can't connect to the phone via USB to flash another FW because 6.0 isnt aviable for switzerland (AUT) now. For those who think they maybe got a solution: impossible. I already tried everything in every forum. I tried different cables, different PCs, download mode, usb debugging, different drivers, manual set drivers, exit silent mode, wipe device, apply a new usb port on the device (im not that shure if they really did it).
Win 10 gave me a message, that its unable to get informations about the connected hardware. For me there are two solutions: 1. Hardware device of the device core PCB, 2. the Firmware is broken somehow.
ANYWAY i dont want a solution for that. Im just ask if its possible to flash another firmware for example via Wireless Lan oder an SD Card, connected to the S6 via USB adapter.
I am thankful for every reply
Kind regards
Same problem here, USB was working 100% then I got the 6.0.1 beta and now I can't get USB at all.. Are you on the beta?
Sent from my SM-G925F using XDA Free mobile app
Nope, i did a usual update to 5.1.1 when i got my phone.
if the device is still working...dial *#0808# and select MTP+ADB and try if u can flash the new FW you want to flash.
Mtp+adb was already selected
May i change these settings?
Get usb otg cable, and push firmware as adb or put zip rom on usb and browse the connected usb via otg in twrp

I thoght on this, too... the Problem is that i only have stock recovery
Hey guys i just got my S6 back!
I gave it to a samsung partner after some phones with the samsung service. They wasnt able to fix this problem. So i decided to give it away to repair it. It took 6 days(!!) whats amazingly fast and they installed a new main pcb, usb slot and another thing (dont know the part name) and it works fine now!
Thanks for all your help.

TWRP doesnt recognize USB-OTG

One issue having all TWRP recoveries out there (I tested about 5 different from CUOCO or Chinese original or Chinese V2 and so on), none recognizes my USB-OTG Stick. The USB-OTG function very well with booted firmware (14S), I can attach and disattach and it has always been found. In all TWRP recoveries there is no reaction while attaching the USB adapter, no USB-OTG recognized. With my older LETV LE 1, this adapter runs perfectly in recovery and while booted up with firmware.
Cause of the minimal storage of 32 GB, I cant store backups on internal storage, without possibilty of expansion with USB-OTG, it´s useless. May be one of the cracks could find a solution for this issue. Many thanks in advance!!!
Hello, did you ever get USB drive to work with TWRP?
Still no TWRP with working OTG ...

The TWRP hasn't been updated since early July. Thankfully, 15s TWRP works with 16s ROMs.
