I bought the phone while being overseas, so bringing it the Samsung to repair is not as easy since these suckers over here only support the US versions of the phone.

If anyone is willing to take it off of my hand and try to fix it on their own or through Samsung, i will be more than willing to strike a deal for it.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] InJustice:
Thank you!!!!!

My G S3 was stuck on the "samsung" screen during boot. I did the whole volume up + home key + power key press till vibrate thing and it got me to the tiny red menu where i chose factory reset and low and behold... my phone works! of course i have to install all my stuff and settings again.... but it saved me from having to buy a new fone. Thank you guys immensely for that!

now i have some questions.

1) Did i have to choose factory reset? was there another option where i could have chosen to not wipe the user data and had it working?

2) I suspect but it could be a coincidence that this problem all stemmed from the fone getting moist about 5 days before the manifestation of the symptoms... (when i say moist.... it was dropped near a hot tub and was not submersed in any way... but was wet on the outside when i found it ten minutes later. the little white wetness indicator under the battery was red) ... early symptoms were just that the phone would reboot itself out of nowhere, then it would just randomly shut itself off.... and then it finally shut itself off for good and i had the stuck at "Samsung" screen situation. So my question is... was this related to the getting it moist incident or totally unrelated. the phone works great now.

thanks again!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
1) if a factory reset cures a boot loop, then nothing else could have cured the bootloop. Always worth removing sdcard / sim to test first though

2) maybe coincidence, maybe not. Impossible to say really

I apologise if this has been asked earlier. I searched & wasn't able to find it.

anyways my friend's S3 international bought from Australia (factory unlocked) is stuck on the boot screen. Can enter the recovery & download mode. Since clearing cache & factory/data reset doesn't work, I believe we need to flash the stock firmware. No the problem here is that I do not have the CSC code to download the official firmware. My friend's got another S3 from Australia with CSC as XEF which is France I guess. Not sure which firmware to flash on the soft bricked phone, Australia or France.

Is there a way to get the CSC using the IMEI or ODIN? Can I flash an official Indian firmware & change CSC later? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

s3 stuck in boot loop

hey guys/gals

my s3 is stuck in a boot loop. only reaching as far as the black samsung s3 i9300 screen and keeps reboting from there.

ive tried wiping the data as well as cache from recovery mode. i did root the phone months ago, and had no problems. i dont think the power button is stuck since when im in recovery mode, things arent selecting themselves.however there have been isolataed instances of the phone restarting on its own.

S3 Stuck on boot logo fix

Hi guys just want to say thanks for all the good advice on the particular post. My son had an S3 which was stuck on the samsung boot logo. I tried to wipe data a few times and wipe the cache but this was still no good. I downloaded Odin and tried to flash a new rom but the phone wasnt recognised by Odin and it was not seeing it every time I connected it to the PC in download mode. In the end I changed the cable and it recognised it straight away and I was able to flash the stock rom I downloaded from Sammobile and this worked.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh_admiral:
still stuck on black; read tons of threads...

My situation is different - perhaps it may require a new motherboard like a previous post mentioned.

Model : SGH-I747

non-root; factory everything...

I was emailing back and forth when my phone decided to reboot and get stuck in the following loop:

When I put the battery in, my phone automatically turns on. It goes thru the SAMSUNG screen, then the Galaxy S3 screen, then BLACK. Every... time...

When I try to boot in recovery mode, the first SAMSUNG screen has "booting recovery" in little blue letters at the top, then the Galaxy S3 screen, then BLACK. Every time...

When I try to boot in download mode, the first screen appears. If I DO NOT HIT the volume up button to confirm download, the screen goes BLACK. If I DO HIT the the volume up button, the downloading screen appears for one second before the screen goes BLACK.

*EDIT* NOTE : I have to slip the battery in while I hold the buttons for both recovery and download mode. I cannot turn the phone on with the battery in to enter either mode... *EDIT*

When the battery is pulled out and I plug in my stock charger, the red light comes on, the phone vibrates once, then the light goes off and the screen stays BLACK.

No matter how I put the battery in or plug in the USB cable, Kies does not recognize my phone nor does Odin. Therefore, I cannot try any of the previously mentioned wipes of cache, installing factory firmware, etc...

Dear goodness someone please tell me WTF is going on!! I've been a fan of XDA since I would play with different user-made OSes for my old HTCs. My girlfriend's friends tell her they use Samsungs for about a year before they poop out with no explanation. Engineered obsolescence anyone??
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GeorgeAX:
I have a Samsung S3 stuck at boot as well (stuck on SAMSUNG text) - not like in your case where it goes to black screen.

I read a lot of threads and forums about this issue(s) with boot stuck.

In your case what I saw in other forum and makes sense - the power button might be stuck (on all the time). This explains why it is starting automatically and then stops with black screen.

cwm boot loop

but it can still go into download mode and ODIN can detect it. i'm sure its not a hardware issue

can any one help me ??? :confused:

I have a similar situation and need help.

I recently upgraded phones and I'm looking to sell my old gs3. But I had put a costom Rom on it awhile back but during the process at one point I ran into the same problem with the logo screen but I fixed it (I completely forget how) and that was that untill recently when I attempted to return the phone to stock by updating it to 4.3 with kies and that was fine it wasn't until I ran a master reboot that the logo problem resurfaced at that point I tryed to use Odin to flash stock firmware which after doing further research was a terrible idea to do with 4.3 but that's where I'm at my phone does not boot up past the Samsung logo luckily I can still access the dowload mode. I am thinking that I'm going to try flashing a root66 stock 4.3 is that a good idea. Any help would be much appreciated, thank you

Stuck power button maybe.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoshR81:
Having a similar problem with an i9305 I bought off ebay.

Phone turns on as soon as battery is put in (power button isn't stuck or anything, even opened it up).

1st time start, phone was stuck on the Samsung Galaxy i9305 logo.

Now it is always stuck on an image of a battery (like when you're charging it with the phone off), and a tiny red line or "!" in the top left corner.

Can get into Download Mode, it says "custom" for a couple of things, and "4" for another.

When I try to go into Recovery Mode, it just shows the Download Mode logo (but doesn't say anything else).

USB port doesn't work, so just wondering if it's worth repairing just to see if I can fix software issues.

Can I use ODIN without selecting USB debugging in the settings?

I don't know the CSC or anything other than what's on the IMEI sticker.

Any suggestions? Thanks :good:

Hey there, if you are having this problem then I can tell you the fix. Me too experienced the same problem but I somehow managed to get rid of this problem. Now all you have to do is flash the recovery file for your samsung android using Odin. You can read all the steps and follow them very carefully from this tutorial that you can find by Google "fix samsung galaxy stuck at samsung logo kickiteasy" then you'll also have the fix.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ViperZ28:
Ok, this is my first time cooking my own ROM. I pulled the OTA files downloaded Android Kitchen, extracted the system folder there, pulled in boot.img and built it. I was pretty happy when it started up but then I noticed that it began to get real slow as I was going through the setup steps. Finally it became so unbareable that I pulled the battery. Thought it might be the boot.img so I copied one from another ROM, same thing. Anyone have any ideas?

Hi,

I have an MK808 Stick PC that i'm using as a SmartTV adapter for my TV to play content on local and internet network. I read in the booklet that it is not recommended to leave it plugged in for extended periods, but is kind of inconvenient where it is located to keep plugging in and out all the time. Is it safe to leave it plugged in all the time? Is anyone doing this now? If not, anyone have an alternative idea?
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] rab1es:
have left mine plugged in for nearly 2 months now, if you touch the stick its cold, so doesn't overheat.

If you're really worried about it you could consider a smartstrip type surge protector for you TV setup so the miniPC powers up and down with your TV.

http://www.amazon.com/Smart-Strip-Protector-Autoswitching-Technology/dp/B0006PUDQK#productDetails

Or a remote controlled power strip like this one from Belkin:

Just some ideas.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] colhavoc:
Thanks everyone for the replies, puts the mind to ease. I have left it plugged in since I started this thread (barring power outages) and so far so good. I also got an RC11 air mouse+keyboard and it has a power button on it. I assumed it was for the remote, but when holding it down it brings up the stock android shutdown/reboot screen. Just thought it was worth mentioning, haven't see that said anywhere else yet.

[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] lesmo_sft:
As long as you don't forget to turn it off, you should be fine. I see no reason for that behavior to harm the device.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] LinuxAssailant:
I am no expert, but what does it hurt if you pull power while it is in the GUI?

When we pull batteries on locked up phones, I have yet to see ill-effects.

This is just speaking of the following devices: D1 x2, D2 x2, DroidX, Intercept, Optimus Slider, Sidekick 4g x2, and Relay 4g...

I understand Dalvik might get corrupted, and maybe cache, but couldn't you just wipe it? While running WiFiKill, a SK4g sometimes would lock up, and I could either restore a backup, or clear both caches to stop boot lock-up.

How I understand it:

Writes are only done when you select a setting, open an app, etc... unlike Windows that does a bunch of crap in the background, and never stops licking drives/cache/etc.

Enlighten me.

It is not safe. It will start acting up and eventually die. That is why there is a power button in the status bar, so use it!
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] popoyaya:
It'll probably be fine for a year or more, but eventually the heat will degrade the board and components and cause it to malfunction, by which time it'll be obsolete anyway.

Just wondering if anyone else has the same problems with Shostock as I am. It's incredibly fast, the battery life is excellent and I like it overall. I tried to use Vlingo last night, then Google Search and I'm unable to get any input from the mic.

Is this just a problem with 2.51? Should I go to 2.6?

I'm using Siyah 7.9b. I didn't try the same with Jeboo, probably could have tried that I guess.

I used the patch for destinator3 from the destinator2.com web site but doesn't change, I was got the same problem with the destinator 2 software, I can install the program but I can't install the maps on the secure digital card.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] cruisin-thru:
If I remember correctly, I think it is possible to copy the maps to the storage card without using install, just put card in card reader and copy files as usual but make sure directory structure is correct.

I tried but the card is protect from writing! you can do it only with a brand new card, I tryed to format the card but it writing protected, do I could put it in a boiler or in a microwave to restore it?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] cruisin-thru:
I wouldnt bother with the microwave or the boiler, a melted card wouldnt hold maps. Check if the switch on the card is in correct position. You should be able to format the card, if you cant format or write to it then I suggest it may be faulty/broken.

I know, the switch is in the right position, and is the same with both cards one 256 and one 128mb.

This the answer of the Destinator support team:

Please follow the instructions below if you experience any problem with selecting Storage Card under 'Select Target Device' in the Installer.

1. On the original Destinator CD ROM, open a map folder, for example America.

2. Select a folder with a map you want to install i.e. USA-1etc.

3. Open the selected folder and unzip USA-1.zip

4. Sync your PDA with PC. In the root directory of your PDAs Storage Card create a folder Paradigm

5. In the folder Paradigm, create a folder with the same name as the one you selected on the CD ROM i.e. USA-1 etc

6. Copy all files from unzipped folder incl. WCE.Txt into the new folder on your Storage Card

If you have any other questions please feel free to contact us via email and we will gladly assist you.

Thank you,
