thanks, but i already uninstalled samsung kies.. but still no luck :(

---------- Post added at 03:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:10 PM ----------

Try to flash only kernel - Siyah or another with cwm via odin. If it succeed than try wipes.

(can you pls give me a link for the kernel for gt-i9300)

I suppose you have tried alredy to decrypt nand by phone settings? It is first thing that should be done.

( how to do that? if its in phone settings, i cannot do that because when i turn on my phone it will boot normaly but after 5-7 seconds it will freeze then reboot, sometimes when it starts when i enter the pattern lock code it freeze, i cannot go to settings.. it keeps on freezing

can you pls give me a link for the kernel for gt-i9300

im very sorry im a newbie in android and this is my first time to have a smartphone. so i really dont have any idea to fix this without any help from you guys.. i really appreciate all your help.

please extend your patience to help me guys, i dont have that much money to have it m.board replaced

so i want to do anything to fix it, it dont have warranty because it came from my brother working in another country. sorry for my bad english
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SirKunon:
If phone is booting your current rom, go to settings and check if encryption option is set. If it is enabled than turn it off.

If this will not help or your phone is not booting up properly than try to flash Siyah kernel as pda in odin, dont change any other option, just select pda (.tar file) and flash:

Siyah-s3-v1.5.tar - 6.90 MB

I tried cmw but still no luck , i tried siyah still no luck, same error..

My s3 is not rooted. Im just browsing in play store then it suddenly freeze, so i try to reset it then afer that it keeps on rebooting and freezes.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SirKunon:
Try to run your phone in safe mode and see it behavior with browser etc.

To do that turn off your phone. Now press the power button and imidiately keep pressing menu button (this touch button on the left from home button) until desktop is showed.

It should display 'safe mode' on the bottom-left corner of the screen.

Safe mode has deactivated all third apps installed and run only those from system/app which means stock state.

In app manager you can remove all apps which may cousing a problems.

Had this the other day funny enough.

Reinstalled use driver with phone removed, plugged phone back in whilst in Download mode and with Odin running and it all worked.

Never installed or used Kies myself. Just download individual driver package and that's all.

Hope this might help you!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 123shree:
Probably the NAND storage is faulty... that's why Odin can flash anything. May be... I am just guessing by lookin at the current circumstances.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SirKunon:
Yes, propably faulty nand, but repair is very expensive ca. 250€ He must try every possible way to resurrect the phone.

Some people reported that using old Odin version, 1.85 or even 1.3 can help. Worth a try.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChardC:
I don't think it has anything to do with one's inability to read, like you I have several success stories with rooting, it's just that sometimes issues may be experienced as a result of other things persons do with their phones that we are not aware of.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyberkiller:
I found this problem with my current Galaxy S3 and my old Galaxy S", because boith of them where bought from china.

The solution is fairly easy.

Just do this.

Open the tar file of the official odin update. in my case the file is named: I9300XXDLH7_I9300OXADLH7_I9300XXLH7_HOME.tar.md5. To open this file you have to remove the MD5 extension and leave it as .tar. This has to be done because odin when do the firmware flash it doest a md5 checksum on the file if it has the md5 extension, if not, it just ignore that step.

When you open the file , you have to remove from them, the Modem and both bootloaders files, they are. modem.bin, sbl.bin and boot.bin, if they exist. Some dstributions doesn´t contain any updates on the bootloaders and modems so maybe they are not there.

When you remove them, start the flash using odin and everything should go ok.

After you flash (or before, the order doesnt matter), you can flash modem.bin but not using odin, you can use mobile odin or you can use Clockworkmod recovery or something else besides Odin, because these cell phones has some sort of region codes that lock the flash of foreign firmwares.

I do this steps everytime that a new rom cames out and everything works PERFECT.

I hope it help you.

in my phone i can not flash system file when it starting system file it get fail
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GaryLiao:
This does seem to make sense, But these region specific codes, are they hardcoded into the device? What if we use a three part firmware with as well as repartition the device? Would this allow us to circumvent this limitation? I currently have an I9300 from China Unicom, and I would like to be able to flash a different bootloader, and I am not sure how to do that. I want to change the bootloader since the phone always boots up with the China Unicom logo.

You don't have i9300 so go away and leave oooollllld threads in peace ;)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ATRAC3:
I had a similar problem, my phone just froze in the middle of a phone call, had to pull out battery, and when i tried to turn it on, it wouldn't pass the second "SAMSUNG" logo, just stayed there forever, with the blue light (Official JB 4.1.2 - not rooted)... Anyway, after 3 days of trying, downloaded bunch of firmwares, but all of them gave me the infamous "Complete(Write) operation failed". This is how I MANAGED to revive my i9300 16Gb Int:

1.Open ODIN, load ONLY the pit file corresponding to your phone (In my case i9300 16Gb Int'l - GT-I9300_mx_20120220.pit), check "Repartition" and "F.Reset Time" and hit "Start".

- If this step goes OK (All threads completed. (succeed 1 / failed 0))

2. Click on the "Reset" button in Odin (or close and re-open it), in PDA select "recovery-cwm-touch-6.0.1.2-i9300.tar", make sure only "F.Reset Time" and "Auto Reboot" are checked, and flash it. If everything goes OK, you should now have CWM instead of Stock recovery.

3. Take any microSD card, any size, and put THIS file on the root of the microSD using a card reader or whatever you prefer - but be careful, copy the zip as it is - do not unzip it.

4. Insert the memory card in the phone, enter recovery*, and select "Install zip from External Storage" and choose the file you put on the root of the card (by the way, it's a 4.0.4 downgrade bootloader), it should flash in a second, the phone will restart, and that's it!

5. Download and flash 4.0.4 Stock FW using Odin (i used "I9300XXBLH1_OXEBLF1.zip"), everything should go OK, and the phone will be bootable again.

*(my phone didn't wanted to enter recovery the old fashioned way using 3-button combo, but i managed to enter recovery from charging mode, by connecting the charger on a switched off phone, and as soon it starts charging press Vol Up + Home + Power, and when the FIRST Logo (Galaxy S III GT-I9300) appears, let go of the power button, keep pressing the Vol Up + Home, and it enters recovery).

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] LinChina:
12.Aug.2012 MAGLDR/SD NexusHD2-ICS-4.0.4-CM9-HWA-SD V2.6 is the ROM you've installed, isn't it.

I would at first try all recommendation of members in that thread which reported same or at least similary issue before starting a new one.

Short wrap up what you can do, update initrd.gz, increase sd speed, limit background process, increase cpu, format your sd card and so on.......you have to play with all of these parameters.

For most of all these actions you can use RomToolbox pro.

If you're still suffering maybe you try another build, again some people get the build running smooth some not, even the set up looks same on the first view.

I have alway's 2 or 3 builds on my sd and try them under normal conditiion, which means for my daily work, which includes phone calls,SMS, data/WiFi usage to justify which build to use at the end.

Good luck :good:!!

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] enigma1nz:
I believe we entered the era of laggy semi-functional ROMs post-Gingerbread. The last time I had no problems, lags of FC and the ROM felt stable and reliable was over 6 months ago. Can't honestly say which ROM worked as expected, no matter the title or description promises, so if you want to go with ICS or JB (even less functional), find the ROM you can live with without expectations of full functionality or lag.

If you really want to help and unlock it, really actually asking the right questions from myself (who has been working on the BL unlock for 10 months now), and the others on the dev team. I have not seen one post from anyone on where we started and what we have tried already yet.

Seriously, I get about 6 hours when not using it and about 1.5 to 3 hours when I have the screen on every few minutes. It's ridiculous, and I'm sure it never used to be like this. I don't know if it's a hardware problem, because I think my Micro-USB port is broken, I can't use USB storage but yet when it charges from the wall it says USB and not AC.

On the software /firmware side of thing, I can tell you I am currently using LeeDrOiD SuperSensational V7.3.0 ICS, Sense 3.6

HBOOT - 1.27.1100

RADIO - 11.15.3504.16_M

OpenADSP - v02.6.0.2226.00.0104

Bricked Kernel 3.0 v1.1 (clocked to max 1.5 GHz I think)

Baseband version11.59.3504.00U_11.16.3504.16_M

Build number 3.32.401.5 CL309896

My mobile network signal is usually very high and I use wifi normally, rather than mobile internet anyway. I never have sync, bluetooth or the location services on. I usually don't have many apps running, I use imo beta which is always connected to the internet, but it isn't much better without it. I bought a (supposedly) higher capacity battery and it's just as bad. One thing I have noticed is that the screen uses up over 90% of the battery life and I don't even have it on for that long. Could someone help me out? I'd be so grateful :D

Thanks in advance,

True, we do but we don't have hardly any flash able zips for our recoveries. What I did I made zips that everyone can just flash via recovery instead of needing to use Odin, etc.. I mean, one could just as easily use Mobile Odin and flash I guess, which I've done in the past.

My plan was to make one central location that included links to all the original Recovery files as well as flash able zips for all of them. Much similar to my post in the Official 6.0.1.1 CWM thread. People do seem to appreciate the flash able zips, I've had nearly 20 downloads already and just posted the files today!
