[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XYMan28:
Hi.

Please read all of what I tried before suggesting something.

I have a S3 GT-I9300 international version. It's from Orange Israel and its warranty recently ended.

All of what I tried below has been done with the phone in the Download mode by turning it while holding the power, volume down and the home key, there is absolutely nothing else this phone can do, if I just normally power it on it'll get stuck on the Samsung Galaxy S3 screen, I can't even get to the animated Samsung logo. Kies is uninstalled completely and I have no AV.

Now here is what I tried so far:

1. Most forums said that I could try a regular flash via Odin by inserting the firmware.md5 file into the PDA section and flashing it, but that just makes Odin get stuck on the process (Setup Connection...) or give me this error [1st screenshot from the left]

2. I also tried attaching the .pit file for my 16GB S3 named (GT-I9300_mx_20120220.pit) alone but that makes Odin get stuck on this process as well [2nd screenshot from the left]

3. I tried attaching both .md5 and .pit files at the same time but it just also gets stuck on the (Setup Connection...) forever. And when I say stuck I don't mean Odin stops responding, I mean it just hangs on that process.

4. I looked in forums even more and they suggested I try different USB ports or cables and I did, still nothing.

5. I tried different Odin versions for all of the things I already tried.

6. I tried flashing different firmware versions for all of the things I already tried.

7.1. I downloaded Heimdall Suite and I tried to use it since a guy mentioned it helped him immensely by him just installing the drivers using the "zadig.exe" file and choosing his S3 from the All Devices list and installing the driver, however I encounter something different because the program has Replace Driver option that gives me this error [3rd screenshot from the left]

7.2. I later discovered that I can install the driver anyway by clicking the arrow next to the button and choosing Install WCID driver, that worked successfully, however it hasn't solved my problem like the guy on the forum, for him, the S3 started to get recognized by Odin and it flashed his device successfully, for me, it still gave me that error.

8. After I installed the driver from Zadig I launched Heimdall Suite in hopes of finally flashing my device but it gave me this error when trying to load up the .md5.gz [4th screenshot from the left]

9. I then proceeded to add the .pit file I downloaded earlier into the Flash tab in Heimdall tool and adding the boot.img because I think that should be enough to get it going, plus I don't know what else to put. It gave me this error [5th screenshot from the left]

I'll keep updating this post when I try new stuff, however I would like you guys to suggest things I haven't tried before or supply me with files I haven't found already (.pit files, firmwares I'm not aware of, etc.). Would appreciate any little help of sorting this problem out, the warranty ended so I don't know what am I gonna do if I don't get it fixed :/

Thanks.

Yep sounds bricked. If that's the case, send for repair. Your NAND is probably borked.

Out of interest, what does all the info on the screen say in download mode?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XYMan28:
PRODUCT NAME: GT-I9300

CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: YEes (1 counts)

CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official

SYSTEM STATUS: Official

Does that give you any idea of what I should try next?

I really want to put repairing the phone to the absolute last option.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Remove Kies = remove USB drivers Odin may not work .

PIT can kill your phone .

I don't think its SDS more like your flashing PIT has bricked the phone .

jje
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
The problem with the S3 is that there really aren't many options before the last option. From what I can see, you have already tried them all.

It tells me you haven't got SDS, but we already knew you had a NAND issue, regardless of that. It was just a matter of interest.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XYMan28:
I didn't mention that I also tried all of what I tried with Kies installed.

And it is SDS, I was just browsing through photos and the phone just locked up and restarted and couldn't get passed the GALAXY S3 flash screen, which is why I started trying all this crap, including flashing PIT. And the symptoms and behavior of the phone hasn't changed since the first time it restarted on me. So I definitely didn't change ANYTHING to the phone whatsoever.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
It could be SDS. We've seen a few failures like this where download mode doesn't show SDS symptoms. It doesn't mean the result is not SDS. Its uncomfirmable.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
SDS possible , Nand damaged itself possible but 90% of problems are user error .

That error is often in trying to smash their way out of trouble avoiding the simple correct method and throwing everything at the phone .Following stuff from multiple forums then asking help on XDA at the end when it is to late .

Whatever you have done in the past right or wrong does not matter it is now a service centre job .

Samsung generally offer 24 months limited warranty but would be likely to reject due to custom rom count .

[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jeroenvk94:
You need Ubuntu to compile the kernel, as far as I know...

But I don't have much knowledge on ROM and Kernel building

[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frapeti:
You can try with both toolchains but yeah, Google one is the recommended
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] assassin0408:
i see.. no wonder i didn't see any of our devs using linaro.. :cool:
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MateuszKrawczuk:
If it builds without errors that mean you can use linaro toolchain. It doesn`t matter you use google, ubuntu default gcc-arm-gnueabi or linaro toolchain as long it builds and work fine.

[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] SteveBenz:
Extract the parts with 7zip, not winrar

ROM looks good but I still need to test games and stuff, along with battery usage, etc
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] AmrAllam7:
Okay i well add that to main post Thanks:good:
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] AmrAllam7:
Hi Bro:laugh:

Download all parts and put them in one folder and extract it using 7zip for PC.

If you using your device for extracting you can use ---Simple Unrar--- free on market.

After extracting you well find one zip copy it to your sd card and flashed.

Hello,

I ran this tar file through odin: xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2322046 but the flash failed for some reason. Then when I restarted my phone, it got stuck on this screen: Firmware Upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies & try again. I tried reinstalling drivers, kies, killed anything related to Samsung or kies, another usb port, another tar, redownloaded tar, ran odin through administrative permissions, and nothing worked. I know I can recover my phone since it boots up, but Idk what else to try. Any help is appreciated!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] azeem40:
OMG, it is flashing now! It was the damn USB port! I knew something was up, but just couldn't put my finger on it. Actually, come to think of it, the port wasn't detecting a flash drive I had a few months back, but suddenly started to. Also, that port DID recognize my phone, but it kept failing the flash. Anyone know why?

Hi, I've opened this thread to correspond if a new development project that has started on WIKI. The concept behind this project is to support users of the SX66 (PH20B1) available in the US. There is a good community of folks using this model, and a users group seems to be forming. Giving that this community has varied levels of the technical skills, this idea came to me as a way of further increasing the growth of the BA adoption in the US, while reducing the need of me helping folks one at a time. But I must give credit where credit is due, the knowledge I bring to this project was all gained from the hard work and dedication of users here. Work that I would be lost without.

I have posted a Beta I trial for a 1.40.121 (cooked for the SX66 WWE Cingular) EXT ROM, and have invited select users to assist in the testing. This space will be used for feedback.

Update 5/12/05 - I've posted a Beta 2 release: Check out the Dev page at the link below for deatils:

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] cdaly1970:
KS, even after a soft reset? I've got 1.40.122 running without incident, but the BT files haven't changed, so it should not be an issue.. It is built on the 3900 stack included in the 1.40.00 system ROM, with only an add on to put the stereo headset in.

What headset are you using?

Let me also point out, as I think it may be confused in some of the earlier posts. This is an EXT ROM for System ROM 1.40.00, which is Windows Mobile 2003 SE, not 2005.

feedback once its done. thanks once again.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] cdaly1970:
AlmondKing,

Looking at your flag, and provider logo, I just wanted to point out that the files contain customizations for Cingular as they are required in the US. Hope that is not a problem.

Everyone,

Found my first bug. There is a problem in the version cab. I got creative, and tried the set the version to 1.40.122 (Cooked).... Well, the getdevicedata doesn't seem to like that. It doesn't seem to create a problem when flashing, but it records the EXT rom version as blank when reflashing. I've updated the version CAB, and will have it in beta 3.

[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miapuffia:
There is something very wrong with my Droid RAZR HD root and I'm hoping maybe someone out there can connect the dots and tell me how to fix these problems.

Problems:

1) Rocket Player is having some problems. It can't seem to find videos on my phone, both internal storage and my external SD card. But it gets weird. Rocket Player can find one video. But only one. And that video is in the same folder as 200 other videos. All are mp4s. Why does it only see that one? I have no idea. Even if I tell it to ignore .nomedia files it still only finds that one file. I can even play those 200 videos with Rocket Player via my file explorer. I reinstalled the app which fixed nothing. I then realized there was another problem with Rocket Player. All my playlists are empty which might just be from the reinstall, but the add songs to playlist button is unresponsive. And trying to add songs to a playlist from the songs list doesn't work either. The playlist stays empty. It still finds all my songs though.

2) My TubeMate app is acting weird as well. The video player that comes with it has a slightly different slider. This means that something must have changed with my phone because the app was not touched beforehand.

3) My app Anime Series is having problems too. When you click on an episode there is a popup with two options. This is normal. The first option is "custom", which displays the apps that you can use to play the episode. This list is empty even though just a few days ago it had ES Video Player, Rocket Player, Media Player, etc. The app was not modified in any was and all those apps that should be in the list are still on my phone. So why is it not working? The second option is "play" which uses Anime Series's own video player to play the episode. This comes up with an error that disappears very quickly so I can't read it or take a snapshot of it.

If you hasn't noticed all these problems have to do with videos and they all started happening around the same time.

Things I did right right before this started:

1) Moved my TWRP backups to my computer.

2) Uninstalled Circles and Google Text to Speech.

3) I downloaded a software update released OTA and after doing a temp unroot with OTA Root Keeper, I installed it. My phone restarted as usual and once fully on a popup stated that the update failed. I then did a TWRP backup and downloaded the update again. This time, the phone restarted but showed a green Droid with a polygon shape on top of it. The progress bar got to what would be about 40%	percent and then the polygon was replaced with a red triangle with an exclamation mark in it, clearly stating the update failed. The phone restarted and sure enough another update failed popup popped up.

Please help me fix my phone.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JungleKing76:
I can't say what is going on with the video issue but you are failing update because you deleted system apps. The circles widget and text to speech. In order to update, you have to have all apps your phone originally came with.

I've been running verygreen's CM on my nook for a while now and wanted to try CarbonRom; however, I ran into an error and thought I bricked my device as it would no longer boot and wouldn't flash the latest CM ROM either. Restoring to a backup worked though so I then tried seeing what the latest version of the OS would work. I was able to install both the 7/16 version of CM and the 7/10 (B8) version of CarbonRom but any later and it would give me an error:

I had one for my iPhone 4s and there was a tiny tiny gap from where the screen was and where the case started, but not enough to make me feel comfortable enough to lay it flat on the table. All the photos that I was able to see show the same thing too.

I constantly get the notification "SD is damaged. Try reformatting it." This will happen at least a couple times a month and only when I turn off my phone (to swap batteries). Anyone else have this issue?

Also, it seems that when I view pictures and thumbnails after turning off my phone, images will be and look distorted. Here's an example:View attachment 2134226

Any input would greatly be appreciated! Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mikegenkin:
Hey, I also have been getting the same issue. It seems that the more I flash or reflash a new rom, the more I keep getting my sd card read as damaged or it doesn't even mount. It also happens a lot when I do a Hot Boot, and also when I reboot into my TWRP recovery, and my sd card won't mount in recovery, and if do a full wipe before install, then I end up with no files since internal sd gets wiped, so I store all my roms and zips on ext sd and if it doesn't mount or read I'm stuck with a full wipe and nothing to flash. It used to happen once in a while like once or twice a month, but like a mentioned, it gets worse and worse with every flash, and not it happens almost evey time, especially, I am not sure if its all the roms or just some of them, but when my screen times out and goes to sleep, after I wake it, it will rescan sd card, and its a hit or miss, sometimes it scans and all is good, and sometimes is scans and says either sd card damaged or sd card not mounted. And only pulling battery and rebooting gets it to work again!

Unfortunately, I don't know why, I thought maybe it's my sd card because I bought a 2 pack of 32gb each and when I had my first Note 2 N7100 my first 32gb also started not reading properly and then with a few weeks of use it just stopped working and I lost all my data and it no longer reads at all, not in phone nor pc.

So when I started having this issue with my second sd card, now that I have my second Note 2 SPH L900, I thought it was that the sd cards were faulty, but since you have similar issues, maybe it's the phone, or the roms...? If you find a fix please PM me and let me know.

Thanks
