Hi,
My (factory standard, unmollested) GS3 failed, stuck at the Samsung booting screen.
I downloaded the stock ROM (I think) and tried to flash it with ODIN.
It failed and now will only enter download mode.
If I try to enter recovery, I get a screen with looks like static on an old black n white TV (battery removal to escape).
Tried to flash non-touch CWM with ODIN but that fails too, saying PIT not found.
Can it be saved?
TIA
Gareth
Sounds like nand failure. Time to upgrade.
What was the Odin error when flashing a stock ROM?

OK. I'll give you two dollars if you can help .
Problem: Phone hangs on blank screen after starting boot through galaxyS screen. Also, when flashing stock .pit and .tar through Odin, on phone is reads "data wipe failed.", then proceeds to the hanging black screen.
Assesment: Realized I tried this (on a friend's phone) that had Voodoo still on. I figured this was the cause. I CAN boot into recovery/download/recognize in adb and odin. I pushed the disable voodoo zip into the voodoo folder from ADB shell, rebooted, re-flashed stock from odin, same problem. I have full access to the phone through adb, and can reach all recovery/download menus, but after I flash this everytime it comes to the "data wipe failed.".
Solution(s): 1.Try to reboot the bionix191_JACS_OCUV_VOODOO.zip via clockwork, encounters a
" E: Failure at line80:
copy_dir PACKAGE:data DATA:
Installation aborted. "
2.Try to reflash T959UVJFD stock, flashes completely in Odin, then on phone reads "data wipe failed." and hangs on black screen after boot-up galaxyS screen.
Any help would be great, because I have to let my friend use my phone until I fix his.

There is a Eugene Rom for Froyo that does not brick, did you try that rom?
Else try Nandroid stock rom image and restore the phone.
Solution?
OP,
Have you come up with a solution? I have the exact same issue.
Same "data wipe failed," and no (0.0b) application storage.

After that Odin back to stock and you can flash anything you want.
First:
Flash the ODIN Rom found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=740558
(Leave re-partition UN-CHECKED)
Note: This will probably finish and show an error on your phone, that is okay!
Second:
Flash the ODIN Rom found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734475
(This time, check re-partition)
Voila. You are no longer bricked and are back to stock JFD.
[Q] GT-P7501: Stuck in "Downloading... Do not turn off target !!" [resolved]
Hi all,
I just bought a GT-P7501.
I was going to root it as described in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239185
I ended up with a flickering CWM recover version 4. Flashed with Odin a version 5 from overcome. Same flickering...
And then something must have gone terribly wrong...
I now cannot flash anything via Odin anymore. The tab starts and sits then with a very small percentage display in "Downloading...". Odin stays at
<ID:0/010> Firmware update start..
<ID:0/010> recovery.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
When I boot normally I get "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." Kies does not allow me recovery mode though.
(I can (at least occasionally) boot into the stock by fiddling with the flickering CWM recovery.) Not anymore, I cannot get into recovery.. :-(
Any hint, how to resolve this?!?! I am desparate.

Using a TAB GT-P7500
Got the same problem, after trying to update to ics with KIES. It stopped in the beginning, and cant do anything else anymore.
Tried draining the tab, didnt work. Tried almost everything and it doesnt work so it seems. I will try to flash it with the recov tar. If you could tell me how you did it. Just flsh it in ODIN?
edit*
Tried flashing the recov.tar in ODIN, doesnt work it seems. Maybe it is time to throw my tab out of the window, its getting annoying
Okay, ive managed to flash the recovery tar, yet when i want to flash a stock rom it still freezes after a few seconds (attached screenpic). I can get into the overcome cwm recovery, and wipe everything, yet after that i can still not flash a rom, it will be stuck at hidden.img.
Anyone any idea on what to do next?
Two choices: copy a ROM to your storage, flash a custom recovery and boot into recovery and install the .zip from your SD card
Or, Odin to stock.

Can't reach internal storage, it will only see the tablet as an apx. Odin to stock keeps on freezing. Drained my tablet now completly, will try it again once i recharged.
Odin to stock doesnt work, not with a pit file, not without, it will still freezes at hidden.img and then do nothing again.
Well, send it to samsung for repairs, they will fix it under guarentee.
Hello,
I installed "Quick Boot (Reboot)" and rebooted into recovery but got stuck in a boot loop
I'm trying everything but odin fails. The only thing that passed is flashing twrp again but I still couldn't get into recovery and try to wipe the cache or flash a new firmware (I have Marshmallow 6 currently)
I want to restore to stock but it doesn't work, I get "sboot.img" "Nand write fail"
Is this a bootloader issue? I don't get it !!
Thanks for any directions
Solved the problem with a PIT file,
http://www.droidviews.com/download-pit-files-for-galaxy-s6-edge-all-models/
Selected the ZEROLTE_EUR_OPEN.pit, switched to PIT tab in odin and flashed it
Hello, today I tried to install the stock firmware for my SM-G925F instead of having my rooted ROM, so that I could use apps like barclays and snapchat. This wouldn't work on odin, and my error is as follows:
<ID:0/004> sboot.bin
<ID:0/004> FAIL!
<ID:0/004>
<ID:0/004>Complete(Write) operation fail
So because this didnt work, I used TWRP to wipe all data, hoping it would wipe the ROM, but it didn't. After I did this I went back into TWRP and tried to power off my device through there, but my device just froze, with the power off button highlighted. I think the kernel from the ROM doesn't allow booting from TWRP, but I can't boot normally. I can still go into download, TWRP and normal boot mode, though. Is there any chance you guys could give me some advice on how to get my device up and running again, even if it is on the ROM I used to root my device?
UPDATE: I tried to use odin again, but it is stuck with setting up connection, might be the drivers I used to try ADB sideloading the ROM, I'll see if i can fix this

sboot.bin fail means your trying to downgrade which will not work. All you need to do is just flash the correct firmware.
By the sounds of it you have wiped the ROM off the phone. Which ROM was it?
Just flash this stock ROM again
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/106963/G925FXXS4DPJ2_G925FBTU4DPH1_BTU/
Then flash TWRP
https://dl.twrp.me/zerolte/
Then flash cf autoroot through odin.
https://download.chainfire.eu/737/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-zerolte-zeroltexx-smg925f.zip
I tried to flash that rom, but it failed after hidden.img. Now my device is saying 'An error has occured while updating the device software'. Is it possible to use smart switch to recover from this? I don't mind having an unrooted phone.

Either use smart switch
Or

Go to this thread to 1st page. Download g925f pit file zerolte_eur_open.
In odin options click pit and insert the downloaded pit file. Then insert the firmware and flash again. You will not get hidden.img fail and it will flash.
Just woke up to see my phone on the Samsung Galaxy i9300 logo.
(I had just flashed LineageOS the previous day)
I was able to get into recovery CWM but nothing could mount, so I tried TWRP. Same thing. Couldn't sideload too (because you couldn't sideload to anywhere duh).
Tried flashing stock rom and repartitioning. Failed. And now the phone says Firmware upgrade failed etc instead of the logo.
Can't get into recovery anymore.
Can get into odin mode, but Odin doesn't recognize the phone.
SDS?
EDIT:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: GT-I9300
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: Yes (3 counts)
CURRENT BINARY: Custom
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
You can still flash a stock ROM when you see the "upgrade failed" screen.
Did you try using different USB cables and ports to flash the stock ROM? Tried using Odin 3.07 with and without a pit file?
If you can get to download mode try another cable and install the pc drivers while the phone is connected in download mode or install kies for your operating system, stop the processes and try again.
Make sure your stock firmware is the correct one for your device/region/variant and that the md5 hash matches.
The problem you are having is caused by a borked recovery. It is very possible that the partition is corrupt, inevitably causing the death of your phone.

Odin 3.07 / 3.09 and Heimdall don't recognize the phone.
The usb cable seems fine considering I used to flash the day before and if I remove the battery the phone is still on while connected to the usb cable.
I already ordered a new phone but if I can get this one fixed that'd be great. The new phone may come with a usb cable so I will try that.
I guess I was stupid enough to flash TWRP and SuperSU on top of LineageOS.
EDIT:
Before getting to this point I was able to flash stock rom while the Firmware upgrade has failed... logo showed. However I can't flash stock rom because the phone can't mount anything, not even /system. So it fails as soon as it tries to write something.
New usb cable - couldn't flash but was detected by odin.
Deleted hidden.img from the stock rom and now it flashes!
Let's hope it works.
Update: it did not.
After flashing it booted to recovery, said something about missing sd card and a countdown to 20s. After that was over it went to the recovery menu and I got a bunch of the same errors: couldn't mount /system /cache (no such file or folder found).
I put back my sdcard but I couldn't get to recovery, also, instead of the samsung galaxy logo I got a white screen. I could still get to download mode, and get recognized by odin and heimdall, but can't flash anymore ANYTHING.
Either There's no PIT file or stuck at Get pit for mapping if I do include one.
I've tried 3 different versions of odin.
I've tried heimdall under windows and linux with root without success (Either couldn't set up interface or there's no pit file).
I'm gonna try 1.85 odin tommorow. I lost all hope at this point. ****ed up my partitions.
RIP I9300.
Idk if that may work but you may have a go to just try flashing stock rom with a box. Gsm service points shouldn't take much for it

Your emmc Nand Flash chip died. I had same problem with my n7100 last month. Had to change motherboard.
I took it to a service center. The told me the screen was dead because of the white screen. It was white cus corrupted BL or something, but definitely not the screen, considering you can go into download mode and you can clearly see it's functioning.
I laughed all the way through the front door.
Correct the screen is not the issue. The nand will be borked.
