[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlexD73:
Hey guys, recently got mugged for my new S5 and was given a unlocked, bootloop'd S3 i9300 international galaxy s3 (Im from Canada). My buddy told me he had dropped it from about knee high onto carpet when it started having some issues with restarting randomly. He attempted to root it to solve the problems and ended up getting it stuck in a bootloop without the possibility of entering recovery mode. However the phone does go into download mode, so I'm assuming this is a fixable semi brick?

Anyways I started doing my research and found out I should try and reflash the stock firmware using Odin. I found a firmware which I beleive to be the right one, and tried to use Odin.

I got the following message;

Odin v.3 engine (ID:4)..

<ID:0/004> File analysis..

<ID:0/004> SetupConnection..

<ID:0/004> Initialzation..

<ID:0/004> Get PIT for mapping..

<ID:0/004>

<ID:0/004> There is no PIT partition.

<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)

So I have no idea what this means, as every guide I've seen has said not to touch the PIT button etcetc

I'm not sure if this is helpful, but the writing in download mode is as follows : Odin Mode * Product Name (Blank) * Custom Binary Download : No * Current Binary : Samsung Official * System Status : Custom.

That's about all of the info I have, and seeing how this is the only phone I can afford right now any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks guys.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zappacor:
Seems like the PIT got screwed. In your case, I'd try downloading a stock ROM and ODIIN flashing checking the PIT option on it.

But, again, this is what *I* would do. I mean, if all the issues started due to HW malfunction after it the hit the floor it may completelly brick you phone now

GT-S7580

Hi,

I have problem with my galaxy trend plus (GT-S7580). My phone was stucked at bootloop. After that i flashed stock rom using odin and i get error "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue.Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again". I tried Kies already and same error again. I can't get in Recovery mode by pressing Volume UP +Power Button + Home Button , getting same error.Only i can get in Download mode.

Btw i am not getting error in Odin or Kies,in both programs says success (pass).
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shivadow:
Try another USB cable. Do not use lesser quality cables as they cause issues.

Make sure the usb port is not a shared port. Use a port on the motherboard or if you use a laptop then use the USB port on its own, one side will have 2 ports and the other side should have one. The single one is not a shared port.

Temporarily disable your firewall software too as that may cause problems.

Close unnecessary applications. They consume memory.

Make sure the firmware you're flashing is the correct one for your device.

If you still get the same error then you can safely assume the phone has suffered a sudden death.

I'm newbie in here, I downloaded two ROMs (Lineage and Resurrection Remix), each time I followed the mentioned steps, I extracted one of the files, but I couldn't see any .tar or .tar.md5 archive; I tried to compress it using 7zip to .tar but there is still the same problem, I downloaded whole files again, I downloaded Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package (x64), stopped the Kies from task manager, but still... what's wrong?!p:crying:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MigoMujahid:
If you read the first post carefully, you would have noticed that this guide is talking about OFFICIAL STOCK ROMS ONLY, what you downloaded is called custom ROMs and you can't flash them with Odin they're flashed using custom Recoveries, and they're in zip format, because they're called "Flashable Zips".

Make a couple of Google searches to know more about Custom Recoveries and Custom ROMs.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ibuprophen:
Most devices will not permit downgrades because the newer Bootloader will prevent this as a safety precaution within the system.

There are devices where someone had figured out some type of loophole to make it work but, for very few devices.

If you're not bothered about keeping the product code as H3G then just flash the whole firmware. If you want to maintain the H3G CSC then flash the ZSALED firmware with the h3g CSC in the CSC section of odin. Your device should work just as well.

Hi everyone,

I have a Samsung Galaxy Note completely free (not from carrier) from Germany because it's DBT. I received the ICS update from the very beginning this update was released.

My question is the following: I've got a Samsung Galaxy S3 from Vodafone Spain. Is it possible to unlock it (I know I can if I pay for it and I would do it) and flashing it with a German firmware and make it DBT? I don't mind losing the applications I have installed because I'm still using my Galaxy NOTE. I mean: I want my SGS 3 be like if I had bought it unlocked from Germany as I did with my Galaxy NOTE.

I hope you understand what I mean and you can answer me because I'm completely lost in this topics.

Thanks in advanced and sorry for inconveniences.

Hey guys....

Used rooting software with my other phones and all was fine... seemed a quick process.

I checked my phone info and LP6 seemed like the kernel I needed to get (well it was).

I didnt backup anything.

I put in download mode, opened odin, did everything there and it completed

But then when it rebooted it stuck on the screen with yellow exclamation mark. Left it for an hour.... nothing.... no changes :(.

Got no idea what to do....

The only thing I can guess is the kernel was for the i900 and not i900p (orange). Have no idea how to get my phone booting again.

Any help would be appreciated.

Edit: Forgot to mention. Was running the new ICS updated via kies.

I can get into download mode. As well as CM5 recovery.

Been trying to look for ages also, but cant find any downloadable Kernel for my orange i900p. Kies did say the device is not recognised
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sparkz25:
just an update guys...

went for "CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEN_LP7-v5.4-CWM5.zip"

just to see, strange as my kernel is LP6..... and voilla.... booted

Sadly I did a factory reset inbetween so all my stuff is lost..... but better than nothing.

Will there be much difference in using a different kernel?
