I am in a right pickle now, Any help would be really really really appreciated. Feel gutted!

Tried everything i can think of or find, but my problems are just getting worse. I can now no longer use ODIN as i get the following:

The firmware i was trying to flash is suppose to be the ORIGINAL S3 firmware.

On the DOWNLOAD MODE screen on the S3, next to product name i have nothing.. Used to say GT-I9300

Custom Binary: No

Current Binary: Samsung Official

System Status: Custom

I can get into DOWNLOAD MODE but cannot access Recovery.

What to do now?

The phone is 4 months old :crying::crying::crying::crying:

This is the troublesome part..in your flashing frenzy you have somehow corrupted the partition layout...now try flashing the 3 part method..search for it..you will need to use mx.pit to repartition you flash memory..tread cautiously and do only what you understand..

Why do people use Odin??????? Still escapes me :confused:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ToonTonic:
I cant use tha app as im stuck on a boot loop, i can only access Download mode. I have a GS3 GT-I9300 International version UK. Just took it to the store i bought it at and theres nothing they can help me with other than telling me to contact samsung.

I have tried nurmerous files via ODIN, even PIT files but i get no results. ODIN just says FAIL.

When i enter DOWNLOAD mode on my GS3..prior to pressing volum up i have a small yellow triangle, but it still allows me to go on. Prior to Download mode i can only get as far as the initial boot screen.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kondronaute:
sorry send it back to samsung

i see another post for repair that but need a Jtag ... not for simple user... :crying:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ToonTonic:
I have spoken with Samsung who have sent me out a jiffy bag to send back to them with my phone and they will fix under warranty. Im at my wits end with it. So in the mean time im back my iPhone (errrgghh i hate it).

Out of interest is there anything i need to do to the phone prior to sending it back?

On the download scren (after pressing Volume Down + Home + Power) prior to pressing volume up i have a small yellow triangle on the bootom of that screen, is this normal??

When pressing Volume Up it goes into ODIN mode with the big green android robot..Text underneath says DOWNLOADING...I know this is right.

Top left of screen looks as follows:

ODIN MODE

Product Name:

Custom Binary Download: No

Anything i should try and fix? Not that i can lol

In all that did you even try using kies to get back to original rom?

Even if it's rooted? Thanks
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4c:
Yes, you will lose root in the process but yes it will reset back to factory settings.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ToonTonic:
Sorry for not replying sooner to this thread

I simply rang Samsung and they took it off my hands and replaced with a new one.

My old SGS3 was rooted, yet on official firmware 4.1.2. Though on the DOWNLOAD menu it stated custom everything. Samsung were great with me. If you have the same issues that I had....send it back. I sent mine in on a tuesday and recieved back the following wednesday.

Didnt cost a penny :)

Galaxy S3 Boot loop [SOLUTION]

I had exactly the same problem with my GS3 and I can say I tried everything to get it working again before I try this simple solution and finally It works again

-Note- this solution will erase everything on your device memory

1- Download & Install Samsung Kies to your PC

2- Open Kies Tools menu and select Firmware update and initialisation

- It will ask you to enter model name then S/N (Serial Number)

3- Turn off your phone, remove the back cover & Battery you will find Model and S/N.... type them in Kies.

4- Follow Kies Instructions to download and flash recovery factory stock rom

after flashing complete if it's still stuck in boot loop do the following:

- Remove the battery

- Hold Volume UP + Home + Power and Insert the battery back while holding them to enter recovery

- In recovery wipe cache then factory reset (wipe all user data).

- Restart your phone....it should bootup perfectly

Verizon Galaxy S3

My battery died last night. I plugged in my phone, turned it on and walked away. A couple of minutes later I heard it shut down and it is now stuck in an endless boot loop at the verizon screen. Every 15 seconds or so it vibrates. Sometimes the normal startup sounds are played and other times not. The phone is not restarting and I have to pull the battery to get it to shut off. My phone is stock. I tried clearing the cache from recovery mode and that has not worked.

I've read through several posts about boot loops and one suggested that if the phone loops at the verizon logo the problem is most likely an application update that was incompatible or went bad in some way and I can use ADB to uninstall apps from the command line. I'm proficient with the command line and can probably do this if the problem is app related rather than a messed up ROM.

What I really want is to get my pictures off the phone. I will just return it under warrant if I can. Is there an easy way to do this from the command line?

I have an SCH-I535

Thanks in advance!

You saved my (phones) life!

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Hi - my I9300 was previously rooted with Clockwork and Stock ROM 4.1.1 I believe.

I am a hardcore user and really installed just too many apps and really brought the system to a limit, making it slower and slower.

At some point, after half a year of use, it must have been too much and after a Samsung Push Service update, it started rebooting ... the booting sequences got shorter and it showed "System UIDs inconsistent ... you need to wipe your data partition or your device will be unstable".

Then later it didn't stop booting and I put it into recovery, doing a factory reset ... then it still did the same ... now I tried to install newer stock ROMs via the download mode ... ROM flash failed via Odin3 around 80% of the flashing process ... at some point the loop gt replaced by a static display "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again" ... I never created a recovery image in the first place, so I had no restore image number to enter and I did not realize you could use Kies update feature out of this early boot stage.

Then I tried different stock ROMs, every single one stopped at around 80% ... I used a more recent version of Odin3 (3.07) which offers more features, like "Nand Erase All" and "T Flash". I checked both of them and tried another stock ROM ... all of a sudden it would flash all the way and then go back into a boot, which ended in the download mode. Then I found this article and after following the Kies Update/Initialization it booted a little longer, then showed the Cloclwork Robot for a moment and surprisingly started to load the apps that come with the device and its initial input procedure. The next reboot removed the clockwork and now the device starts up fast and is all stock.

I will run it for a while to see if any issues return and if they doesn't I will go to an alternative Android without the Samsung rubbish, else I'll send it in for repair.

Summary for the unpatient:

Get Odin 3.07 or newer and make sure to run the "Nand Erase All" and "T Flash" features ... this should enable it to flash all the way to the end,

then do the described procedure with Kies Firmware update & initialization and it hopefully solves your problem entirely too!

Regards

Joe

[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] butterquark:
Has anyone seen this issue? It happens if I install from an apk file or from Google Play. Here is what happens.

It sits at install for about a minute (which is much longer than most installs used to be) then the UI on the phone restarts. It looks like a hot reboot.

My phone is running the Blaz3r 3 ROM and I am running "Root External 2 Internal SD" to have my phone install things to the External SD.

I made no major changes between the previous successful install and my failed installs.

I tried rebooting and I do have enough disk space for an install. I tried installing CatLog to find out whats wrong, but...I get the same error. Anyway to get at catlog without running an install to find out what sort of errors might be going on?

Thanks

ButterQuark

EDIT:

If there is a different forum that this question could be better answered, I would love to know. Im still new to how this forum is laid out.

EDIT2:

So I ran logcat from the adb and I got this

I am pretty sure this has to do with the "Root External 2 Internal SD" so I will attempt to go through the developer.

Update your firmware via OTA or flash a stock/custom ROM.

Yeah all you need is to update your firmware. Two of my friends who bought Note2 didn't have multi window out of the box. They got it when they updated.

Video looks a lot better in 720p when compared to the choppyness of 1080p

One think I might ask if you know, does 1080p zoom the video in about 1.5x like my SGS2?

It looks good on my phone. But that's a way lower resolution then a pc monitor would be.

much?! really? i find them both very comparable. the Nexus 4 has slight yellow tint to it while the iPhone is a bit on the reddish side. i think that's why the blacks on the iPhone look slightly better, but i am sure a kernel can give you the option to adjust it to your liking.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] nk1960:
Hi folks. i have this prob and trying to find the solution.

I can receive MMS from overseas BUT i cannot send them. In US all is fine but not international..All settings are fine as well as data settings. Any idea ? it says "pending" in the message status and never goes

It happens with all my international contacts in different carriers. I have not be able to sent mms international all tho i have try several times, with 3 different countries, one was Romania, the other was Italy and the other was Greece. I'm more interested for Greece (my relatives are there), i have receive several mms (mostly pics) from them, from different providers ( Vodafone, Wind, and Cosmote) but every time i send one (in any of their carriers) never goes through and getting a permanent "pending" under status of mms. I have use the standard message app that came with my phone (LG G2X) as well and other apps like Handcend sms, but none goes through. Here in US all good, but not international. so i'm wondering if there is a special setup i have to do in the phone for that or our carrier have restrict this feature.. This problem is ONLY with MMS and NOT with SMS since all sms i have send there are going all through). My data program is unlimited as well and the messaging. On T-Mobile network full signal and 4g when i try. G2X is rooted but stock Rom. I have try most of troubleshooting (reboot, airplane manual set carrier etc) with no results. T mobile support says all working ok with network. Any info on settings or how i can fix this will be greatly appreciated. . Thank you in advance.

G2X T-Mobile
[T-Mobile LG G2x] klairvoiancy:
Hm.. I spoke with T-mobile the other day since I'm leaving for Australia in a couple of weeks, and they had to initiate some kind of "unlock" process so that the G2x could operate on international networks (assuming I understood them correctly). I don't know if this is simply for use outside the US or for use between other countries and the US.

But, at the time, my G2x was rooted, running Paranoid Android CM10 (build 8?). They asked for my IMEI number and things went along without a hitch. Don't know if this helps but I'm thinking there might have to be some kind of activation process to allow the phone to communicate internationally.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nk1960:
Thanks for the reply BUT my phone its already unlocked to work internationally (every provider that finances a handset locks it so you cannot use it with another carrier b4 the contract expires and if you need to use it then they send you an unlock code).

My problem is this : I can receive MMS from overseas BUT i cannot send them. and i'm based in US.

Thanks again in advance.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] klairvoiancy:
Sorry about that - I seem to have missed the part where you can still receive overseas...

If you're phone is already unlocked to use internationally, then I don't know what else could it be since you've tried both stock and 3rd party message apps. Have you tried sending via wifi?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pptse:
Hi

I have successfully installed clockworkmod and flash my gtablet into caynogenmod 7 beta a long time ago. I was pretty happy with it, even though there are issues. I have since also download the clockworkmod ROM manager app and even purchased the ROM manager premium. However, it has never worked. The ROM manager app will come up, but I am not able to use it to 1) boot into recovery, download ROM, install ROM from SD Card.

When I power off the tablet, it let me choose to boot into recovery or bootlaoder, but neither works.

I can't even get into the recovery mode anymore. If I pressed the power and volume key during boot, I will see one line saying that "detected a recovery key pressed" and then it will go right into normal booting instead of the recovery menu.

I am finally at the point I would like to get some newer ROMs. I am stuck. Can anyone gives me some suggestions on what is wrong and how to fix it? I greatly appreciate all your help.

Thanks.
