[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chibi-k:
Hi there,

I have a samsung galaxy s3 i9300 which I have cyanogen mod 10.1. I woke up one morning and it was stuck in a boot loop.

So I downloaded the latest update and gapps and stuck them on my sd card, booted into clockwork recovery. I wiped the user data, cache and dalvik and installed the latest cm and gapps and it's still boot looping.

Can anyone help? I have no money to buy a new phone...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Simonna:
I think the best option would be back to stock ROM

Or it's just a sudden death syndrome..
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
Factory reset and flash an official stock rom via odin, if you can still boot into recovery then you might have just a corrupt system partition (it happened to me once and a nandroid restore fixed it).

I'm using heimdall as I use kubuntu on my laptop.

I'm having the hardest time finding an md5 file that has the right files in it to use with heimdall. Technology hates me...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gdiax:
Had the same problem today!

Already told here what happened, going to quote:

I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 Gt I9300 16Gb for about a month and so far always worked without problems, and today, from one moment to another, I listen the phone to restart and when I look at the display was the boot image, just say "Samsung Galaxy S3 Gt I9300" and is flashing at intervals of 3 or 5 seconds without passing that boot image, just taking off the battery that it switches off. I'm desperate because I don't know why he had been so, or how to resolve the situation !

So I entered in ODIN MODE and pressed ''continue''

After that it appears on top left in tiny words the following:

Odin mode

Product name: GT-I9300

Custom Binary Download: Yes (6 counts)

current binary: Samsung official

system status: official

And appears in the middle the android logo and below ''Downloading... Do not turn off target!!''

EDIT: when I left the download mode by long-pressing the power button, before he tried to boot again appeared in the middle of the screen a grey battery with a grey circle inside, what is that mean?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chibi-k:
I found a tumblr post with a tutorial for heimdall. It won't let me post links, so I'll have to put in spaces.

h ttp: // wildabdat.tumblr. com / post / 13450595781 / flashing -androidk- rom-on-l inux-wi th-no-odin-stoc

I've not been having much luck with it though, I keep getting : "Setting up interface failed!" and "Failed to initialize protocol!"

May work for you though.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
Find a Windows pc and use odin to flash the latest rom for your country at sammobile. After that boot into recovery and factory reset.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gdiax:
that answer was for me or for the user Chibi ?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Chibi. You asked what the battery icon means. It means your phone is off but accepting power via usb

You should try factory reset
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gdiax:
I just tried to flash the firmware with Odin and installed one from the links on the Guide Thread.

All the process was ok but when the phone reboots doesn't pass from the boot loop, stays in there and if I try to reset start do blink again.. help please

(can't enter in the recovery to wipe, only in download mode)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Glebun:
your efs can be corrupted
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gdiax:
what can I do to resolve the problem?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
If it is corrupted, you can only save it with a backup otherwise its a service centre repair.

You should try and flash recovery via odin though, see if you can access. Probably not much else you can do.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Restore the EFS you backed up .

Or its a service centre repair .

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gdiax:
Tried flash via Odin and after the re-boot it stays with the same boot loop
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:

Repair centre then
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gdiax:
ok thanks.. It's in warranty, but, do I have to present the buying receipt ? Because I don't have it

But this is ridiculous, I spend a lot of money on a phone and 20 days later just bricks from nothing

it's exactly this that's happening on my phone:

The flash counter 6 will void your warranty. You can but try
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chibi-k:
So after some attempts to flash a stock ROM via ODIN, my phone wasn't being recognised by it, so I couldn't get it working even after installing drivers for my phone.

I don't have the $300+ to pay for a service repair centre to fix it, so I'm going to attempt to replace the mainboard myself.

My little S3 is dead to the world at the moment.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] convict_moody:
Download pit file and flash stock firmware with repartition checked. That will solve your problem.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Glebun:
or break it for good
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] convict_moody:
Every softbrick has a solution. And i always fixed samsung bootloops using repartition method.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
If there's a solution its not a brick.

Often solution for s3 is new motherboard / emmc.

Many issues aren't fixable with pit or jig. Just have a read of our s3 forum here. Lots of evidence of it.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] convict_moody:
Thanks dude for sharing these info. :thumbup:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gdiax:
This means that I shouldn't download pit file and flash stock firmware ? But anyway I already tried to flash using odin without success. Only didn't downloaded the pit file. What if I try again ?

Because I don't know the source of the problem, if it's firmware or hardware
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] convict_moody:
Donnow dude, am trying to help you should ask the experts :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Well its doubtful there's anything you can do to make it worse right now, but I'm.not going to suggest one way or another. I think you're in need of service. It may be a cheaper resolution than you think though. Depends what they do. Worth getting a quote though
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gdiax:
Tried a recovery using kies. connected the phone to PC did all the stepd and installed.

Then appears this error in the bootrecovery:

E:failed to verify whole-file signature

E:signature verification failed

Installation aborted.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Pit is really a shot when all else fails .

The majority who flash a pit file simply should not have done so in the first place .They now find that all hope is gone and strictly speaking their is no warranty .

Some phones accept pit and repartition without problems SGS3 I9300 does not .

jje
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gdiax:
Only can take the phone to the service repair under warranty with a buying receipt, which I don't have.

Otherwise changing the motherboard of the phone may cost around 200€ (270$) or more! *Whaaatt????*
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Always keep receipts
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slaphead20:
I think the pit solution is worth a try, the success I have seen is when people use the original lowship firmware that the phone originally came with.

Reason I suggest trying the pit is that often if partitions become corrupt it will hide the efs .........as said above, it's a risk and one I would only use in a last ditch attempt........So don't lay blame on me if it fails ;)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gdiax:
Was told me that this is a motherboard problem and only by taking the phone to the samsung service repair will solve.

This is ridiculous, imagine if I have important/executive data of my company or job saved at the memory phone, and suddenly he dies, who'll be the responsibility if this is a factory issue?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slaphead20:
Same applies with laptop, hard drive,pc etc.........if you haven't got important data backed up then you really need to start doing something about it! ;)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
then you'd probably be breaking your acceptable use and IT Security compliance policies.

This is a discussion and information thread for the progress of stock based rom development.

I want to keep you up to date for the current development progress and invite you to join or discuss about new projects.

First I want to introduce to you the people who are involved in this current project.

Hashcode (STS-Dev-Team)

Deveshmanish

Ravikirancg

alteredlikeness

Biotik

Each one here is working on its own projects, but we are statically in contact to help out each other, so this has some kind of a team character. But this is NOT something like a "closed team"! Everybody, every dev and everyone who wants is invited to be part of this new fast progressing kind of development for Roms, Kernels and all other Android stuff. I think we should not longer stay alone with our stuff because we can reach our goals much faster when working together - or at least being in contact and share our knowledge!

In example the last weeks have been full of success regarding to Kexec-, Kernel- and Stock-based development - with the big help of the people mentioned above!

Current Progress

​

Yesterday we made it to boot Catalyst Rom (VZW .16 - based) on my GSM device with full working service - with the first stock Kexec kernel! This opens many new possibilities and brings our good old Razr on a new level - AGAIN! :)

Now we have a working kexec setup for stock based roms and I made a GSM- and a CDMA-Patch, so all users - no matter what region their devices are from - can run all stock-based rom - also no matter which stock kernel they have installed on their devices!

First, I will release a "Kexec-Patch" which can be flashed over ANY Stock-based rom to boot it on ANY device - including the needed network patches! The kernel has been finished and I will release it tonight. Note that this kernel is not modified in a way like JBX-Kernel! It is a copy of stock kernel which was made ready for kexec by the STS-Dev-Team!

Next, we make a Custom-Kernel for stock-based roms with mods like JBX-Kernel! The first Rom to run with it will be Catalyst v3!

We don't want to keep our work only for our projects - everyone should have access to it! Each dev should be able to use it for his work! It's free and open source - and it should behandled like this!

Devs are invited to join our group hangouts on Google Plus! Together we will make fast progress in all kind of development! PM me for access!

I will keep you up to date in this thread!

[Motorola Droid RAZR] jessel0001:
Excellent news! I was wondering, when you said full working service, did that happen to include 1080p video and HDMI? I know the other kexec Roms have these issues.

Regardless of my question, truly amazing work.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dtrail1:
On kexec stock the camera seems working fully, yes. But service meant to be Networks.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] meilbox:
so... in near future with the "new" kexec + f.e. cm 10.1 and we have everything working ?? or it will only fully work with 4.1.2 firmware... ??
[Motorola Droid RAZR] heblu:
Great ideea !

Thank you
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dtrail1:
The camera only works fine for Stock based roms because it uses the original cam libs. But we cannot use the cam libs on AOSP roms! Tghe cam drivers are partly closed source, that's what makes it difficult. But Hashcode is working on that.

Edit: Just released the patches, see dev section.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] justen7723:
Ok new guy here.... What the he!! is the difference in kexec and catalyst can someone explain all this to me easily?? Im coming from a gnexus and have know idea what this really means. I gather it a good thing for all of us but it's all very confusing to me still. So for being the noob!!!!

[Motorola Droid RAZR] rhyrlix:
So if I flash the Patch on CM 10.1 or AOKP, the camera will not recording in Full HD?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dtrail1:
Kexec is a method to bypass our Razr's locked bootloader and run Custom Kernels.

The main problem with the locked bootloader is that we cannot reun custom kernels - usually. And also we cannot use any stock kernel - i.e. when a GSM user wants to use a stock-based CDMA Custom rom he used to wipe the CID (region check) to be able to flash the CDMA kernel which is needed to run this. But thanks to the secure version which are being checked by bootloader users who have updated to Moto official JB cannot flash the VZW kernel anymore - so they cannot use the CDMA roms!

Now we have KExec! This allows us to run any rom on a custom kernel! The metnioned problems are history now.

But besides of that it allows us to run JB AOSP Roms on Custom Kernels - just like my JBX-Kernel.

You are coming from G-Nex? Well, you might know how many kernels are available for G-Nex - and what nice features they provide (OC, GPU OC, BLX, BLN, etc, etc..). My JBX-Kernel provides a lot of these features to the Razr owners ;) All that wouldn't be possible without kexec.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dtrail1:
NO! And I explained the reason already. PLEASE FORGET THAT VERY FAST! :D
[Motorola Droid RAZR] rhyrlix:
And about the battery consumption? After flashed the patch, the battery life will be bad like CM 10.1 and AOKP?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dtrail1:
Nope, it will be like stock.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dtrail1:
I need someones help! I have to rebuild the moto_crypto module to make the JBX-Stock-Kernel working on VZW-Based Roms!

But I am not really aware of shell script language. Could someone please tell me how to link the Makefile(s), etc to connect this module source to the kernel source?

Or at least read the build script you find in the linked source and tell me what exactly is set there (I understand most parts - but not enough)

Ediot: Nevermind, got it.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] h0324879:
Question, using Motorola stock kernel is better than a custom one right? I know it may be stepping your heart dtrail, I experience certain reboot a day due to dos, so in order to get boot again, I will have to flash your kernel again. It is quite annoying indeed. Such problem does not exist in stock rom. You know, I choose Motorola because I trust in its built quality, I trust in its stability.

Apart from that, the new progress mentioned here means we can use Motorola kernel to run any aosp rom, am I figure out in the right track?

Thank you so much!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dtrail1:
You misunderstood. Please read the OP more carefully - I explained that question several times now (regarding to the benefits of the current kernel) :)

To your problem: I don't have that problem. My phone runs multiple days (until 1 week) without any problems (and not a single reboot). And for me the custom kernel is much better than stock because I get better battery life, performance and options. Many users reported the same in the kernel thread. So yours must be a device related or usage related problem.

I don't know your settings, so I cannot help you with that. You can do tjat: Make screenshots from all Trickster Mod pages that I can see your settings.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] huatz84:
Although I'm using a Razr XT912,I'm so glad seeing all these development goin' so fast. Thanks a lot,dtrail1. You've been doing a great job for XT910 users especially this Razr community in general. I've been in love with your JBX kernel. :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dtrail1:
Little update

Currently fixing 4.3 JBX. This could take some more time than thought before..But it will work, that's the most important thing now.

The Stock Core Kernel which is a direct JBX port for Stock based roms is almost finished! I will launch a testing phase this week.

MIUI is kind of special - who knows ? Actually I can boot and run the Stock Core kernel with it but the UI is kind of slow. The log is telling me nothing so I have to dig deeper.

But because I am working on all of these projects on my own it will take time. Be patient and stay tuned!

Besides of the Kernel(s) I am working together with Biotik on Catalyst Project and also currently merging STS-Dev-Team's progress on the completely rebuilt 3.0.31 and 3.0.88 Kernel....Great things are coming, yes! But I have to be on my own - Seems like that!

I am still waiting for someone's contribution into my projects - but also loosing hope slowly...

I did research for this for a couple of hours but didn't find anything too helpful besides flashing back to stock. I also saw I could install the TWRP img file by the command line but that makes me a little nervous for the brick warnings posted.

I have the Goldeneye rom on my phone and I had TWRP 2.5.0.2 and everything was working great. I also updated the Modem to the MF3 one. I flashed TWRP up to 2.6 and loki-doki and everything seemed to go OK until I rebooted the phone.

I rebooted the phone and got the error of System software not authorized by ATT has been found on your phone and the SECURE FAIL: KERNEL message at the top.

I am now unable to boot into recovery with the buttons or using the reboot menu from the Goldeneye rom. Every time I try to reboot it goes to the error message above.

Now I am able to have the phone boot up fully if I go into download mode and then press the volume down key to cancel/restart the phone and then it will boot up with out issue. Any time I reboot though with out going into download mode I get the secure kernel error.

Is there a way to recover the device without going through ODIN and reflashing it back to stock? Also, my baseband shows MF3 now since I flashed the modem, is that going to cause any issues?

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

Why not Odin

I haven't looked for awhile, but if you example of command to put recovery on phone by adb, try it. If you have the command line from a dev thread then just copy/paste the line. No chance of typing error. Still double check all. And any bu's you can do prior, do them and put copy on pc. Know you can't nandroid, but maybe MyBackUp Pro.
