[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShaDisNX255:
Glad I read this before trying. I am having such a hard time flashing my S3 to stock. I flash, but it gets stuck on the Samsung Logo. Can't enter either stock or custom recovery (the button input seems to be doing nothing at all). Can't even enter download mode, the phone will just boot "normally", ignoring the input HOME+VOL DOWN+POWER BUTTON. I can enter download using a USB Jig and flash stock via that way, but I'm left with the same problem :(
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shah22:
Hey , i dont know about your issue in detail , but these problems emerge when you have not enabled usb debbuging and oem unlock in developer options before flashing with odin , i dont know if smart switch works with s3 , but you can try smart switch to flash your phone . There is another solution too but cant guarantee if it works and its dangerous too , first you need to find the correct pit file of your phone by model and carrier , then you need to put it in odin and tick 'repartition' option and then flash with correct firmware file , remember that using any wrong pit file is extremely dangerous and you may brick your phone totally , if you are not sure about correct pit file then dont use this method and go check with smart switch. And smart switch can get it to flash without need of usb debugging in developer options.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShaDisNX255:
Well I wouldn't know since it is somebody else's phone. It just out of nowhere decided to stop functioning (stuck at Samsung logo) I haven't tried Smart Switch but I am with the idea that if Odin can't return the phone to factory settings, how can Smart Switch be any different?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shah22:
You can flash firmware through smart switch without need of enabling developer options , and it wont hurt to try with it as it solves flashing issues mostly, if it didnt work too then sorry you have a bad nand chip or a hardware failure , if all other things fail try flashing CORRECT pit file in odin , also try to check with an older firmware for your device , this is the last thing to do , if you want your phone badly you may try to check with a samsung repair shop , otherwise its out of luck :(
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShaDisNX255:
Yeah, already left it for dead unfortunately. Oh well.

Thanks for the tips, I'll use these suggestions in the future, I've got a couple more Samsung phones I use (a J2 Prime for work and a Note 3 as my personal phone) and I will definitely do everything suggested to recover them if they should ever show similar problems. :)

Enabling odin features

Thanks very helpful post ......to enable any odin features open the odin config file and change the settings that have "0" with the enable stable "1"

no quotes ...may have to enable hidden files and show all files and or take ownership and or permission rights ......but that's the short answer . I think your looking for ...That's how I did it and every option is lit for the selecting ....sincerely Me.....ps if this gets me ban it will be the 4th time and for the first post from every account ..some one in charge doesn't want people knowing anything I share .........
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bilbaro:
Working very well on Samsung Tab 3 SM-T113 following this:

After use Nand Erase All:

1. Go to recovery mode (power + menu + vol up) clear cache and wipe data/factory reset. Reboot and go 2.

2. Go to download mode ( power + menu + vol down) then connect to pc with "odin 3"

3. Install with odin factory firmware. Only use f.reset time and autoreboot.

4. If blocked in Samsung logo Go to recovery mode again (power + menu + vol up) clear cache and wipe data/factory reset. Then Reboot.

It worked for me.

Thanks Andersbot.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vinwahhht:
well you asked a straight forward question, a shame you got a run around about it, ok i only have a little knowledge of the nand field as i had to reflash and partition. i bought a galaxy s4 here in new zealand but what the seller didnt mention was that it boots up with the normal samsung galaxy s4 then says its a i9505 with 16gb storage but when i took the battery out and peeled the silver sticker that was covering the model and serial its a dam L720T from sprint, after it completed it system update the device reverted back to L720T from sprint and storage avail is 1,342mb. i reflashed the whole phone again including, deleted all delvik and cache also ticked the nand box, it had been flashed soo many times leaving soo little memory, i now have avail 9,622mb, my phone isnt bricked so maybe because i downloaded the original firmware and original rom for mine, though i can no longer use my vodafone nz sim or any other nz sim though is now used as another wifi device which i dont mind.

if you do tick that box make sure youve got the main flash files, rom and a stable copy of odin, using the 3.07 version seems to be the best 1 atm.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JrTech:
This post clarified something for me that using the nand erase option with the correct pit file works for fully erasing all partitions. My friend was messing with his s7 edge and frp blocked customer binary after that nothing would flash all ended in some error and no recovery only download mode and with the correct pit I was able to use the nand erase option and flash the stock firmware back to the phone.

Yes, your artificial benchmark results definitely mean one phone is "better" than another. It has nothing to do with touchwiz / sd card / battery size / removeability.

TL;DR you bought a phone for benchmarks?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TheBiles:
Let me know when you need to replace the battery or upgrade the memory of your One X. Then we can talk "better."

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] amstel78:
Apart from the differences in OS settings, installed apps, etc... there's also a key difference in CPU/GPU/Memory architecture.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Darmokk:
I just got a 6857 so I don't see any problems (yes I am rooted and debloated). Benchmarks don't make or a break a phone, and in your case both devices are top-notch.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Screaming Ball Sweat:
For sure, I was just surprised to see the difference. Does it matter between AT&T and t mobile? Once I unlock and debloat I'll be happy I'm sure.

I would be more concerned about slow data speeds from that phone instead..:highfive:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] circuit.007:
My tmobile just barely gets 5000. Sure I was kinda bummed when I saw the score. But shoot this is the fastest lag free phone I have ever used. Even though I overpaid to get this phone contract free its amazing. It was worth every penny. Seriously don't underestimate its power.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] sujal:
Stupidity at its best.. If benchmark apps are all you use, oh well yeah, S3 is horrible for you. I am afraid real life scenarios don't depend on benchmarks though.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] dislplin01:
Benchmarks don't matter it's about real world speed and reliability I'm not saying that the s3 is better or the one x is better not that's just a stupid way to compare

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DataHawg:
The title of your post got my attention and I think it got under the skin of some of us Samsung fanboys. No biggie. BTW, it's best to run benchmarks when your phone has been sitting for 10 minutes or so because CPU temperature can have a big affect on your results.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] LLStarks:
Maybe the rumors about the Tmo having a the gimped 8260a chipset are true.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Chicago281:
This is 80% of it right here guys. I created a similar thread awhile back about low Quadrant scores on my S3. I couldn't barely even break 4000. If I just let the phone sit for 10 minutes without using it and then did a benchmark results were AMAZING. Heat definitely plays a factor. I did a test and set my phone on my A/C vent for 10 minutes and ran AnTuTu and I was at like 7300.

Relax your phone is fine :)

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] macdroid01:

However, the S III screen is garbage, especially compared to HOX. Or any LCD.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Babydollll:

I have both (SGSIII (TMOUS) and the Int'l HOX)

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Serious_Beans:
Because your One X is a quad core and 12 core gpu and the s4 is a dual core? Though the s4 rapes the one x in other benchmarks. Also what does it matter what a benchmark says? Lol seriously you rate your phones based on benchmarks?

You sound like a troll. Go back to your HTC forum nub
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] :
This is funny. Most people don't even know the difference in screen technology and most don't even care. Heck, most can't even tell the difference if they aren't told and it's not pointed out to them. And yet you post it like the gs3 uses a black and white tube tv as it's display. If they wouldn't have told you it had a pentile display, you wouldn't have even known and more than likely wouldn't have posted this post..

I find its screen far from "garbage". And just because its not "as bright as the One X", still doesn't make it a worse screen. Do you even know why they used this type of screen? I bet you don't...... You think they did it to "cheap out" the customer? Prolly not.....

And this isn't an augmentative post. It's just being honest and pointing out that people don't really even know why/what they're complaining about.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] neyenlives:
Well you go sell your GSIII and get a real computer for benchmarking so you will feel better. If you never ran AnTuTu would you feel the same? Sounds like you completely forgot you bought a phone.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] eep2378:
Why do you care? Is it really affected the speed/functionality of the device for you?

Why don't you understand that Antutu/benchmarking scores don't mean squat in the real world? It's simply a number and has no real significance in regard to real world performance.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] alchemist316:
I have both us and int version both amazing both have faults but side to side screen wise I do like my evo lte better in high sun especially the s3 has a blue tint on side viewing angles and direct light on both s3 is harder to see than evo .

Benchmarks mean nothing in real life performance there is slight difference in minor favor to int version but its by fractions of seconds and sometimes the difference is not even there .

Deal breaker on benchmarks is silly yes the international version is somewhat faster but.

One x compared to s3 at all only thing I'd say is screen quality but my opinion only .

the only way the one x can be better than the s3 is if you are comparing the international one x which is a quad core vs the usa s3 which is a dual core...

if you compare the quad core s3 vs the quad core one x, s3 is better.. same with the usa dual core versions.

one x att version, one s t mobile version, usa = dual core.
