Hello,
I know, my question is not new for the most of you and I think it is asked over 1000 times. I tried but I can't find the right working answer for me.
I have a problem, with my old Samsung Galaxy SIII GT- I9300 with T-Mobile branding.
Sorry for my english, but I did not found something useful on german websites but much useful in your forum, so I hope you may help.
The Phone is old, so I have no guarantee any more. I got it from a friend and for him it worked very well till now. It started with freezing on pages and the friend tried to recover the device and I think he did something wrong. The device ended up bricked.
Now, when I want to switch on the device it shows a white screen, with grey and black snow everywhere. Only thing I still can do is going in download mode, then it shows:
___________________________________________________________________
odin mode
Product name: GT-I9300
Custom binary download: No
Current Binary: Samsung Official
System Status: Custom
The robot picture
Downloading...
Do not turn off target !!
________________________________________________________________________
The friend who owned the phone said it is broken and buys a new phone.
I am new to modification phones and all things like that and I haven't got a clue what I'm doing, but I'm interested in learning and don't want to give up.
I read and read and read and looked at google and everywhere and the more I looked, the more different advices I found, but I don't know what will work for my device.
There is another problem, since I don't have a windows or Mac machine, I can't use odin. I work with linux, kubuntu 14.04 ( this is another project,I haven't a clue from, but I'm learning for fun) and I just managed to download JOdin3 Causal, working with heimdall-frontend 1.4.0-0.
I tried to flash firmware with one part and firmware with 3 parts, and I always get from Jodin: that the phone is connected, but there is no pit-file.
I added plenty of pit-files I found in the net, but Jodin said the pit-file was corrupt or broken or Jodin shows on top, left side: „running“ but nothing happens for hours.
Can someone help me. I think I need a firmware and the right pit-file for this firmware. What kind of firmware is not interesting for me, I just want to see the device come back to life again.
I found in the internet, that there is still hope, if the phone shows in odin mode a product name.
Because of this I think that my phone isn't scrap jet. Am I right?
Thanks in advance for your replay.

No, your phone is dead. Try the dead boot recovery thread in general forum for a test but you will need a box.
So, this is what happened, and I have no idea how to fix this, nor I am going to try something made for other devices unless it's my only choice.
I woke up one day after wanting to revive this phone, and I realise it's bricked, totally. No Charging animation, bootup, not even Fastboot Mode.
If I connect it to Windows just the way I do to activate Fastboot, I get a ton of drives on the main computer folder, which all need formatting. (http://imgur.com/hoxrbaw) Only one can be read, but it has quite some weird files. (http://imgur.com/fAHyaly).
The Device Manager shows me quite a weird driver, called QHSUSB_BULK (http://imgur.com/b9KPIVT).
I did re-flash the Factory ROM using the correct drivers, the correct ROM and Coolpad Download Assistant v1.86.
There is nothing else I know about...

Is there any way I can recover my phone?
Thanks,

The Only thing I managed is to do nothing because I don't have an identical phone. Can someone send me an eMMC file of Vodafone Smart 4 Turbo 890N?

Take out the battery and put it in again. I've got that exact phone model and it happens all the time. It was especially scary as it happened after I first backed up via FlashFire.
Unfortunately, I did this quite a lot of times, for over 20 times, and nothing.
Do you have the same phone and can you provide me a eMMC image from it? so I can re-flash it and make it work again...
Thanks!
I managed to get a red Charging LED for about 5 seconds, then it stopped. I re-plugged it in and nothing.
I took the battery out and re-plugged it in, then I got the same LED, but shorter.
Unfortunately, that is quite all I got.
I can't do much but trying YGDP, but this is all I know for now.
Is there something I am missing?
I believe that I hard bricked by trying to install another OS on it, but the cable got damaged and we got a bit of an error that hard bricked the device.
Can you guys give me any bit of advice on this specific phone?

I do, but I literally have no idea what an eMMC image is. I CAN provide you with everything else. To my understanding, there are actually no ROMs for this phone, which is disappointing.
It means a backup image made from the phone with a certain flash tool. If you make one, I need both the image AND the flash tool you used.
I already sent the phone to service, and I will have it replaced. If you can supply me with ANY info about this phone I had trouble with, then please do.
Thanks,
TheTNTLovers.
Would a *complete* FlashFire backup work? It backs up literally everything.
Can someone send me an eMMC file of Vodafone Smart 4 Turbo 890N?
Hi, we need proper loader for this device. All other files can be extracted from cpb. I have nck, umt and infinity boxes, but they don't support it. If anybody can share a loader to flash in edl mode it will be great.
I need to find firmware for tablet T990 by alps. I've been looking for it for almost a week and I can't find the right one.
board name: b906_mb_v1.3
I have tried one from firmware1.com, but as it turns out, it's for b906_mb_v1.0, not mine one. Because of my stupidity, I preceded to flash the device without making any back ups. In result, while trying to turn on the device, it gives me white screen with color stripes.
I have also tried 6 firmwares with same board name, which I found on panduoduo.net, however the result was basically the same.
If anyone can help me, I will be grateful!
Hi , here you have what you need .
Firmware:

Good luck
I have previously tried this one, but it's for board named b906_mb_v1.0, it even says so in it's name after you extract it (it says "B906V1.0_L_EN_AMW_04_10.1_39PIN_GTTP_3G_FL_WXGA_D_T1-MAX_V0.1_2016-09-03-10-09n").
Hi there , after soft bricking my phone intentionally because i wanted to downgrade form O to MM which i thought it would be relatively easy to find a stock firmware(the full one) well ...(i was wrong), Xda is not as content rich as you may think, and no one seems to offer any advice or answer for that matter, compared to other forums it lacks a lot.
After flashing more than 5 corrupted firmwares i found one that is working perfectly fine.
Steps:
1-Enter fastboot ( power + vol up)
2- Run (flashall_AFT.cmd) , download link below.... (this is the full firmware no bull**** no missing files) .
That's it... piece of cake
First impression: the bass is more rich and vibrant as many have said so cause the O version was an absolute rubbish like it's battery life , i'm yet to see the battery performance on this MM and i'll be updating the thread with SOT SS after flashing Magisk and installing debloater module.

There are some other newer N full versions but i haven't tested them.

i already had that file which i got a few months ago but never used it. i was a noob about this zenfone.
but ur title says its mm, its not , its nougat, 7.11. its the last nougat b4 oreo was released, it uses the same base fw, iirc, as my post about manually flashing 7.11 but without the radios, https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone-3-zoom/how-to/manually-update-to-7-11-t3815703
my memory could be wrong though, but file name suggests its 7.11
- [firmware27]WW_ZE553KL_71.60.139.30_MR4_user_20180306173656_release.zip
long story short i eventually flashed it a couple of weeks ago, it does flash successfully, well most of the time, and looks legit, i just wish i knew its original source, i think it was someone named marco, as theres lots of files within that zip.....but it seems legit.
but why are u hosting it on the clickbait site. i might up it to androidfilehost which is a no bs hosting site.
i did create a twrp flashable full stock 6.01 mm firmware, im still testing it as it doesnt always flash completely in twrp, about 8 out of 10 times it flashes correctly. but its hard to test on a dead no display/no touch screen phone
edit: correction, not clickbait, but need to signup

Yeah i saw your post a couple of days ago and it is legit , about the file hosting it's not clickbait it's just 4shared and this little guy is older than the xda :laugh::laugh: , i agree that the androidfilehost is faster and more convenient but i'm not the uploader , i just copied it from another source, it would be great if you re-upload it for others and i will update the link.
Now we come to testing: i tested this myself and it is 6.0.1 for sure but i don't remember which release it was cause i updated to 7.1.1 20.32.67.25 release for various reasons, mainly for battery life (spoiler: not much difference and it's still poor) and i will keep flashing / debloating apparently in (in search of incredible) but i'm quite sure this phone is hopeless without a custom ROM from scratch as the amount of services and wakelocks are enormous.
Why don't you participate and use your knowledge in the "allegedly upcoming" Lineage 15.1 hopefully we get a working build before the end of the year :cyclops: i'm sure you are aware of the situation.
And if you're into kernels then kernelwise this phone's kernel was made by noobs ,ASUS put an AMOLED display and they are not using it's features as the blacks are lit and power consumption by the screen is well above an LCD one of the same size.
Long story short buying this phone was/is a mistake.
I actually found the site firmware27 that was hosting 8 ww fw and a couple of cn and jp sku fw.
I tested all 8 ww skus, only 2 work without effort, 6.0.1 dated deb 2017, and the 7.1.1 which I had from a couple of months ago and use the img files in my other thread and which i though u linked here.
Ill be posting a thread and links to both of these files that i ul to afh, and my usage of them, I came to the conclusion that they are asus's fw given to their authorized service centers, they include everything not even available through asus's fw from their site.
Too bad he got most of the files corrupted when he ul'd them to g-drive, my guess
at least now we got 2 fw files to work with, but its a pia to make it a twrp non wipe flashable zip, beyond my skills at this point in time.
edit: i have the one u have linked here which i got a couple of months ago, WW-ZE553KL-11.40.86.71-MR0-user-20170410214554-release.zip,
but firmware27 doesnt have it, and i cant remember where i got it, and by its date youre correct it must be 6.0.1, nougat fw starts with "V20".
so there are actually 3 working fastboot flashable FW out in the wild, boy arent we lucky
i have this phone because a couple of months ago i helped my friend flash fw on it because he was getting poor data signal, i soft bricked and had to learn how to unbrick it, which i did.
its mine as a couple of weeks ago, he dropped it a few feet onto ceramic floor and the screen is dead, no display, no touch, lcd is cracked under the top glass which actually has no cracks, and thats how im using it lol.
i was going to use it as a security camera but i had to learn how to control it remotely, which i did, that was a flashing adventure w/out a working screen

All you need is one fw to start with and after that you can update to whichever release you want without any problem , strait forward from asus site and update via sd card even if it's rooted or bootloader unlocked, you can do anything and even get updates as FOTA app works as soon as you boot cause asus update procedure is very primitive HOWEVER it should be on stock recovery and honestly twrp is pretty much useless here and i didn't seem to need it in anything with this device!! (i use magisk to root), it's not like there's half a dozen of custom ROMs to flashed , the only possible modification is within the stock fw and that's our limit.
If you find a screen replacement under 50$ it is worth it , i knew that 2.5D glass is poor engineering and very fragile, so screen protector and case was crucial since day 1.
Notes:
Don't trust asus download center's description cause i downloaded the latest nougat release before the Oreo (as described in their section) and it turned out to be the first release of their lousy O fw.
cheapest on ebay is over $70can for aftermarket from china. cheap clone? idk
i'll stick w/my note 4 can version as my dd.
i'll upload the working fw i found for redundancy and to give users more options, 4 fw as of now.
i do have the last 7.1.1 b4 oreo
these are actual service tech fw's available to them for restoring phones. supposedly can be use by asus flash tool which i haven't used yet.
they dont change the bootloader lock status or the frp/google account status (to do that use fastboot wipe config)
since it is in a raw format the individual files can be flashed via fastboot for those that would need it.
fyi all fw are exactly the same except for the recovery, boot, system and , emmc_appsboot_8953.mbn(bootloader ?), the radios and other files are the same
i cant use the builtin updater because i cant seem to get the right button combo to work in stock recovery to flash the update and thats after i reinstall the stock recovery and remove root, flashing from bootloader is a breeze.
the only one i can't get adb enabled so i can mirror the screen is the mm 11.40.86.71, the same one you have linked here
when i try to make a custom stock flashable rom it always fails to boot, would u know why?,

I would say let's find a solution to the easy problem and not the to hard one, you want to take 2 blurry steps instead of 2 obvious ones !! i can help you with stock ones just explain more what's the exact problem ? i didn't understand so correct me if i'm wrong : you have no visual indication as the screen is dead right ? or can't boot into the stock recovery at all ?
if you have the bootloader unlocked and no screen indication :
power up wait for the vibration and press volume down 4 times then press power to boot into recovery
wait 10 sec and press volume down 2 times to (update form sd card)
rename the fw .zip file to A so it can be sorted first and it should be in root directory and alone to prevent any miss hits and press volume down 1 time.
and if that didn't work just flash the fw that's provided and redo the steps if you want to update , congratulations now you have a working internals and up to date phone that you can't even boot into it's home screen cause the boot confirmation by email and password is near impossible to bypass without a working display. (there is some methods though )
I don't see the point of a phone without a display at least temporary.
This phone is a joke in it's normal condition let alone in the non , don't waste your time and sell it as parts, if you get 40$ take it.

not impossible, very doable to use a phone even with a dead screen.
after alot of trials and error ...from a new flashed stock thats was completely wiped, i can get to a remotely controlled/viewed phone in about 10mins .
i will write up a tut on that.
i can get that done with all the availabe working raw fw except with the mm 2017/04 release
yes, i have a completely dead screen, no display, no touch. all other phone functions work.
the reason for stock recovery procedure was to update to oreo, but i really dont care if i get it. just seeing if its doable.
playing with it for giggles, going to be a security camera as the cam is vg, useless as a phone that has no working screen.
i can be the sacrificial tester if need be, pretty hard to hardbrick this phone as i also have the back cover off so to disconnect the battery connector for those hard soft brick occasions and/or to make sure phone was completely off b4 doing something
I think I killed my phone please help Asus ze553kl
This was happened my phone is Asus ze553kl android Oreo NOTE: I already rooted my phone unlocked bootloader using Asus tool installed twrp and magisk...
when I was using whatapp suddenly my screen got frozen and I restarted my phone it stuck in Asus logo I tried does it goes into twrp even twrp also stuck in logo then I tried flashing using adb and fastboot while doing that I entered this COMMAND fastboot format or erase boot after I flashed everything I rebooted this time it gone worse there is no logo I see only powered by android then no hope after I saw this thread and planned to downgrade downloaded 2gb file and I made clean flashing manually no use i don't see the logo again then I went for auto flashall command when I clicked that something happens it said searching for your device but
After waited for so long I unplugged the cable try to on the phone it's fully blank no sign of power pls help guys I'm begging you all please reply and give me a solution

sounds like a hardware failure not a software/firmware problem, let it rip, time for another phone, phone not worth getting it repaired even if u do it yourself
