Can you boot into the bootloader? (Hold power button and press reset)
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] decodertje:
no i can not come in the bootloader anymore :cry:
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Aurora13:
Then I'm afraid I can't help you and you have a real problem. The only way is the jtag way (see aboce for a URL).
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] decodertje:

Get yourself a Bluetooth Phone and an hp ipaq 2215.

I have my xda, and the above combo, switching according to taste :)
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] itsme:
with that such a company may probably do this, I mean that they would have the craftmanship and equipment to do so, they may not know the specific details for the xda, you would have to refer them to our jtag page for details.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] kenofalte:
Hi,

just to be clear (i also lost my bootloader in the 2003 upgrade process)

I'm stuck with 2003 and will not be able to upgrade any other rom whatsoever?

[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] itsme:
yes. until someone writes a tool to flash bootloaders from CE. ( this should be possible ) until then, it is wise not to try to do any updates. flashing a different OS will surely break your device.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schlager P.:
I posted this in another thread, but judging by the lack of replies, I guess that was the wrong place. I have a SE Arc S with cm9, when I turn my phone off (last time I tried it it was switched off for 10 min.) the battery drains, and not just a little bit, but 40% easily. I've attached a screenshot, this was after powering down for 10 min.

What's causing this?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] msc3169:
This issue may be due to incorrect battery calibration, i suggest you discharge your battery fully and then charge it to 100%.

sent via XPERIA™
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schlager P.:
yeah, I thought so, too, I did that twice and a "wipe batt. stats"
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Someguyfromhell:
There is no such thing as battery calibration for Li type batteries.

And are you sure, that your phone turned off properly and did not end up in a bootloop?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schlager P.:
yes, I long press on/off button and chose "turn off", then it says "turning off" for a few seconds, then the screen goes blank, so I don't think it's a bootloop
[Galaxy S III General] TechMasta:
Hi guys! This is a noob-proof guide on how to flash stock samsung firmware on your i9300. Whether you have bricked it or just want the stock firmware back. Here's how to do it (detailed explaination)

WARNING! : This is only for the GT i9300 (international version) , Check your device before proceeding. Also you might lose all your data. So backup! i am not responsible if you brick your phone(although very unlikely) by not following the guide properly

Also you will lose your custom recovery, Custom ROM and will not longer have root

Ok lets begin!

1. Make sure you have the samsung drivers installed on your pc (http://bit.ly/SDaIIE)

2. Your device should have at least 80% battery left

3. Enable USB Debugging by going to Settings>Developer Options>Tick the Usb debugging tick box!

Files needed :

1. Android 4.1.2 I9300XXEMC3 for Galaxy S3 I9300 - http://www.hotfile.com/dl/202240205/4dcf384/I9300XXEMC3_I9300NEEEMC1_NEE.zip.html

2. Odin 3.07 - http://bit.ly/16aRzF4

Extract The firmware Zip file until you get a file with a .tar extension and some other files. Do not extract furthur

Extract odin zip file till you get Odin3 v3.07.exe

Now here comes the actual flashing part

1. Power off your smartphone. Wait 5-6 seconds for vibration to confirm complete switch off.

2. Now, get into Download Mode by pressing and holding Volume Down, Home and Power button simultaneously until Samsung Galaxy logo appears in phone screen. Wait few seconds and your phone will be in download mode.

3.Open odin as administrator and connect your s3 to your computer with usb cable

4. You will get a message "Added" in the message box in odin and You should also see COM port with a number in Yellow if you successfully added your device.

if you don't get this , try another usb port.. if it still doesn't come , reinstall drivers.

5. Select these files from I9300XXEMC3 folder in Odin at respective buttons:

Click the PDA Button, and select the .tar.md5 file here with *code* appearing in its name

Click the Phone Button, and select file with *modem* in its name (leave if there is no such file)

Click the CSC Button, and select file with *csc* in its name (leave if there is no such file)

Click the PIT Button, and select the .pit file. Use only if you got it while extracting , otherwise ignore it.

6. make sure Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time checkboxes are selected. Also, make sure that Re-Partition checkbox is selected, only if you are using a .pit file

7. Double check everything above and hit start!

8. once flashing is complete the phone will reboot automatically and soon you will see a PASS message with green background in the left-most box at the very top of the Odin. You can then unplug the USB cable to disconnect your device from computer.

After completing these steps, Make sure to wipe the cache and do a factory reset in clockworkmod recovery if you do happen to find yourself in a bootloop (phone rebooting continuously) Or just do it anyways to prevent a bootloop from occurring.

congrats! , you have just restored your i9300!

If this has helped you make sure to hit the thanks button! :cowboy:

[Galaxy S III General] amit3880:
Great simple procedure.. it seems as I never tried... I entered Android world recently..

Just wanted to know few things..

I bought S3 with ICS. upgraded to 4.1.2 but I feels some lagging after upgrade.

So questions are :

1. Can I get back to ICS without voiding my warranty?

2. Can I use this method to install 4.1.2 which may have no lagging issues.?

Help much appreciated..!

Thank you in advance..!

Yes and no... You must reformat partitions and upload an ICS bootloader. Not for the regular user i'm afraid ;)

Sent from Hell thanks to Android
[Galaxy S III General] TechMasta:
Yup you can use this method to restore to ICS...

Download ICS Firmware - Click here

Now flash this firmware...

[Galaxy S III General] TechMasta:
This normally happens when the partitions on the embedded multi media card gets corrupted for whatever reason, also known as the emmc.

The phone can be revived by flashing a pit file to repartition the emmc in order so it can be written to.

Download and unzip this file and you will have a .pit file which you put in the tab marked PIT in Odin

GT-I9300_mx_20120220.pit = Galaxy S3 of 16 Gb

GT-I9300_mx_20120322.pit = Galaxy S3 of 32 Gb

GT-I9300_mx_20120329.pit = Galaxy S3 of 64 Gb

(Just google the one that you need and download it)

Next make sure > r partition, f /reset, and auto reboot are ticked in options in Odin.

Next put the stock rom in the tab marked PDA, if flashing a custom rom then flash a rooted kernel first in PDA together with the pit file, hit start and start the flashing process, afterwards this will also give you the option of flashing the rom from recovery, next, flash the custom rom from Odin or from recovery

When finished the phone should reboot and start up. :D

Hit the thanks button if i helped :cowboy:

Thanks my friend But it still have the same problem It's get to NAND Write Start!!! and on my s3 the blue line in download mod freeze i still can get to CWM i tried to install cyanogen mod rom Zip file but it's not booting please any Other ideas
[Galaxy S III General] Glebun:
Enabling USB debugging is completely useless and a waste of time
[Galaxy S III General] TechMasta:
Try Re-partitioning your phone.. Put the .pit file in the repartition section , Tick that re-partition checkbox in odin and hit start.. after re-partition try to flash the .tar file again :good:

Hit thanks if i helped
[Galaxy S III General] amit3880:
Thanks for replying!

Last question.. does flashing the stock ICS firmware voids my warranty??
[Galaxy S III General] KingTLR:
Thx :)
[Galaxy S III General] worf_1977:
If it is an official ROM package, it shouldn't trigger yellow triangle.

Even in that case, you can use Triangle Away app from Chainfire and see how it comes to zero ;)

[Galaxy S III General] coolboiz:
EXACTLY, Ho coulld you do that when you have a bricked phone. :confused:
[Galaxy S III General] Glebun:
it doesn't matter if you can do it - it's as useless as changing the wallpaper before flashing
[Galaxy S III General] Bad_boy46:
i did flash the GT-I9300_mx_20120220.pit file but same problem but when i flash it the CWM goes from the phone so i tried to flash the cf-root file but it stop at NAND write start!!! so i flashed the mx.pit file and after that i tried to flash the cf-root file and i managed to flash it and my custom binary Counter Increases but when i try for the firmware it get stuck in NAND write start!!!

do i use triangle away first and then flash this ?

First because, that app needs root access, if you use odin to flash stock firmware the binary counter don't increase, but try to flash a stock rom from your country

my friend's s3 is so in deep trouble. it's on bootloop.

here are my questions (since im the one who's going to fix his s3)

1. USB Debugging is not checked, can Odin detect his s3?

2. if Odin can't detect it, is there any other way to fix the bootloop?

it's running stock rom. never been rooted. it just restarted on it's own and that's how the bootloop began.

I got it from an internetshop. It came with french language.

Currently i have installed cyanogen 11. My screen broke and I am trying to restore the original stock rom.

However, I am not sure about the correct ROM to download. because I didnt keep a backup of stock rom neither any info of the devie at that time.

Currently these are the details I get from check fus :

Product Code

Phone

I9300DDUGMK1

PDA

Can you help me if these details have been modified? Because I navigate to sammobile firmwares and I searched with all of the info above

and I found some possible firmwares only by searching with product code. The possible firmwares come from India and Baglades...

Can you help me find the correct firmware?
