Sorry if this is in the wrong section
I was playing a game on my phone and it froze so I turned the phone off and then back on but the phone wouldn't boot past the samsung animation screen, So I tried doing a factory reset / wipe data but this didn't work. I then tried flashing the firmware with oin3 v3.07 but when the phone reset it said E: Failed to mount data (Invalid argument.
So could someone tell me what files I need to download as when I download the 3 firmware it came as a tar.md5 file.

Thank you for your reply :good: When you download odin should it come with a pit file as I don't have one at the moment. I did do a search and it said I need totoro_623.pit but is the correct file for the S5839i as I did see someone say cooperve is needed.

I just downloaded odin from the link and it did have a pit file :good: I have tried again and I still get E: Failed to mount data (Invalid argument. When I'm flashing the firmware do I need the sd and sim card in.
I flashed a different firmware from sammobile and when the phone reset it said E: Failed to mount data (Invalid argument). So when odin said pass I switched the phone off and back on and I didn't have the 3 logo and had a different Samsung logo but the phone wouldn't boot, so I went into download mode and I had installed 5803i firmware I have now installed the 3 firmware but I'm still getting E: Failed to mount data (Invalid argument). So is there something wrong with my hardware.

I downloaded the Australia file and when I extracted it I got four files but the firmware is for the S5830i. So would you know where I can get the S5839i firmware from that has the four files as every firmware I have download has come in a single file. I've searched loads of forums and found that using just the one file want work with odin so you need the four files to flash the S5839i.

Im sure s5830i files work on s5839i. What difference does it make if it turns from s5839i to s5830i?
Just try it. The only difference between the phones are the numbers 0 and 9.

ps. i had tried without instaling custom rom. it worked. but i dnt reommend it

I just wanted to make sure first as I didn't want to brick the phone as we don't have any mobile phone shops in my town if anything went wrong. I will try and flash the phone later as didn't have much time yesterday.

What isn't working? Did it flash successfully but not boot? Just do a factory reset. If it didn't flash completely, then you have to let us know what happened before it failed.

Ok, so typically when people say they flashed a rom, that means a custom version through a custom recovery. But you said earlier you tried to install through Odin. This is an important distinction. If you tried to flash a custom rom and it didn't work, then flashing the correct stock firmware through Odin will resolve. If you flashed through Odin and it gave you that warning, then you need to find the right one and re-try.

Yup what i tried to do is flash an arabic rom instead the Chinese stock one but if failed on the phone it said invalid at the end so if i flashed the Chinese stock one back from odin will it work or not
Yes, flashing the original firmware via Odin should get you working again.

will it work if i used samsung kies recovery
Possibly, but if the system had already been modified, I find Odin to be a more reliable fix.

Hi there,
I may have softbricked my i9300 S3 after failing to flash MIUI. I had the phone rooted already with custom recovery installed.
CWM 6.0.1.2. A friend recommended the recovery after he successfully installed it on his S3. I was running Android 4.1.2
so no Knox problems hopefully. I downloaded the latest MIUI rom for my phone directly from the official website and used the CWM
to try and flash it. My phone was already rooted at that stage and I had wiped cache and reset the phone prior to the flash attempt.
Unfortunately it gave me a Status 7 error. Even after I unrooted and rerooted my phone the error still remained. I read somewhere else
that this happens sometimes and so I edited the Updater-Script as suggested elsewhere and deleted the section pertaining to the
Verification process. I double checked I had the right ROM too and proceeded to wipe and flash again. It seemed to take and the phone
restarted and I was met with the MIUI language selection menu. However, when i tried to select English, the whole thing just froze and switched
off and restarted itself. But this time the screen went all weird and fuzzy and wouldnt boot back to MIUI interface. I tried to boot into recovery but with no luck. I have tried to reflash the recovery also with no luck. I have tried other versions of CWM alos without luck. Tried TWRP and also no luck. I have used both the 3.07 and the 1.85 version of ODIN with no luck. The flash would fail with either a PIT error or a COM port error. But I have all the necessary drivers installed. I have Kies but dont run it at the same time. The Emergency Firmware something also doesnt seem to work.
I have pictures of the various errors and such and can provide dropbox links if required
Any suggestions would be helpful.
Thanks!
Original Firmware
If I were you, I would go to Download Mode and Flash the Original Firmware from Samsung. Download it from the Sammobile Website and after you successfully installed it try it again.
Like Tkkg1994 said above download the Samsung firmware and use Odin to install it through download mode.
You were having a "Status 7" error when initially flashing miui because your CWM recovery was not the latest...download the latest cwm recovery (6.48.something not sure??) Then flash miui and hopefully you shouldn't have any problems.
Sent from a "Galaxy" far, far away with my Ultra Ray Gun

Yes that's correct. Because of this I would do all things to get a normal S3 without root. That in download mode it shows Original and 0 flashs. Than I would download Philz latest Touch Recovery, clean to install a new rom, download the ROM again, maybe there is a fault, than install it again and root it later, not than.
Hope I could help
Thanks guys! I think that was the general consensus then. I'm trying to follow this guide here
http://unbrick.itcse.com/unbrick-soft-bricked-samsung-galaxy-s3-i9300/
But when I download the Original 4.1.2 ROMS they dont have all the mentioned csc files nor do they have any PIT files in them either.
The only file included in the ZIP was a MD5 file which i guess is the PDA file.
Regardless, I'll give it a go. I've found some newer CWM recoveries but they seem to be IMG files instead of ZIP or MD5.
Any idea how to convert it. I'm getting the file directly from the CWM ROM MANAGER website.
Thanks for all the help again!
Firmware
If you like to download the latest Firmware form Samsung, than I have a link for you:
HTML:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=33625
Creat a free account on sammobile, than download it. Flash it on Odin select AP (On Odin3) or PDA on Odin 1.85.
Hit thanks if I helped you
Thanks man but I live in Taiwan so selected Taiwan.
I downloaded this one
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=19112
and also another one but both did not have the PIT file.
When I try to use ODIN 3.09 it says fail due to THERE IS NO PIT PARTITION.
There is only one file thats supposed to be for PDA i guess.
I have tried older ODIN 1.85 too. NO PIT PARTITION ERROR
Help?

Extract the file inside the ZIP File. Than go to odin and on Odin3.09 select AP! Not PIT. This works!
Yes Sir Thanks but I was doing that before. When I unzip there is 2 files.
One is MD5 file and the other one is SS_DL.dll file
I loaded it in AP slot in ODIN 3.09 and ODIN 1.85
Still gives PIT Partition Error!
Is there any PIT file that I can use that wont brick my phone??
I really dont want to brick this phone!

You don't brike your phone this way. I never select the SS_DL.dll file. You just need the MD5 file and do this in AP. I do some research on that but it should work
Yes thanks man. Even Samsung Official readme says that I should do it that way but I still get PIT error when I load the .tar file in the zip.
If someone can link me a working .tar file with PIT as well I would greatly appreciate it!
Thank you all!

Maybe flash a Philz Touch recovery first. Here is a link:
HTML:
https://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/i9300/philz_touch_6.48.4-i9300.zip.md5/
After that try again with the md5 from Sammobile
Thanks man. That one failed too. Some kind of binary error. I tried numerous other versions from the site
https://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/i9300/
Only the .tar ones load but when I start to flash it, the same PIT Partition error comes up.
I appreciate any and all help!

UPDATE
Turns out that my S3 had a faulty eMMC chip and had to have the chip and the motherboard replaced.
NOTE TO OWNERS OF 2012 MODEL I9300 GALAXY S3:
I did not know this before I had the problem but there is apparently an APP on the PLAY STORE called eMMC Brickbug App.
That will apparently check your eMMC status. Since I was not aware of this app beforehand I cannot say for sure if this app
does or does not work. However I previously owned and since gave away a 2013 late model Galaxy S3 which had no issues
whatsoever. From all the details that I have read, it seems that most 2012 models of the i9300 are more susceptible to this kind
of problem. If you own a 2012 model please take extra care when flashing any type of software, even if its original from Samsung!
Finally thanks to all the Posters who have attempted to help me out. I'm sure that all of your suggestions would have fixed the issue had my
phone not been hard bricked in the first place.

Dm verity verification failed is problem with Imei.
Have you tried to flash the firmware that I posted?
1st - go into download mode on device. Hold home power and up.
Plug device in to odin.. on odin it should have blue box saying COM:1 or something like that.
Extract the firmware and put the .tar file in AP.
Make sure auto reboot and re partition are UNCHECKED.
Then start.
Try this and post a screenshot on here of odin one it's finished.
I had exactly the same issue and flashing this firmware fixed it.

I tried on Odin, by loading the md5 file of that zip, but a write protection error and hidden image. fail causes failure...
I could install the hidden image separately but that does but that does not change anything the process is successful but the phone doesnt loads as the OS is not installed...
Kindly plz help, as odin is having the protection and hidden error and TWRP shows it invalid or corrupt..

I did that, it flashes in about 10 sec and success but again loads into TWRP recovery mode directly, i dont understand how hidden.img can be equal to a complete custom rom, my phone is completely empty, nothing in it, i have accidently removed everything.
Plz help
