I'm not seeing any errors, I only see it hanging during the flash, maybe giving it time would work.

Or you can try a different USB port(try a 3.0 and a 2.0 port)

Do you have the I535 device that the firmware is for?

What are you trying to do? Are you trying to upgrade your bootloader or downgrade it? If you are trying to downgrade then tell me what firmware you have, if you have 4.3 or newer firmware on the Verizon S3 then you can't downgrade or it permanently brick your device. You need to flash the same bootloader that you have or newer, you can't flash anything stock that is older or a lesser android version than what you have.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cooperrr:
I'll try using a USB 3.0 port this time and give it more time maybe i'm just being impatient, honestly I'm a noob at this.

I'm from the UK and the phone was bought in a vodafone shop, i've found a stock vodafone ROM on sammobile.com which is version 4.3.

From sammobile: (Wont let me send link due to too few posts)

Model	GT-I9300

Model name	GALAXY S III

Country	United Kingdom (Vodafone)

Version	Android 4.3

Changelist	2735602

Build date	Mon, 18 Aug 2014 11:47:53 +0000

Product code	VOD

PDA	I9300XXUGNH4

CSC	I9300VFGGNH2

However after flashing that ended up in my phone being stuck in a bootloop I tried using your guide.

"Do you have the I535 device that the firmware is for? " Sorry im not entirely sure what you mean by this...

I just want my phone back im not bothered what ROM my phone ends up using.

Thank you for your speedy reply.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidriven:
First, I need to verify which model number you actually have.

Look behind the battery
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cooperrr:
GT-I9300
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidriven:
OK, the bootloader you were trying to flash in your post is not even for your device, flashing that would have permanently bricked your device to the point of it not being repairable even by Samsung and may still have done that anyway, next, is what you were trying to flash in your post the only thing you've tried to flash? Or have you flashed other things also? If so, what were they?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cooperrr:
Probably pure luck it didnt flash...

The phone before all this was running cyanogenmod 11

The only other thing ive tried to flash is a a stock uk from the same site "I9300XXUGMK6_I9300OXAGMK6_BTU" this was before the one I previously mentioned
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidriven:
OK, anything for the I9300 is safe, the i9300 is an international device so it doesn't have a locked bootloader, you're safe there.

What issue brought you to flashing anything at all?

What happened when you first tried flashing that i9300 file in Odin?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cooperrr:
Honestly I feely really stupid for evening flashing it, the phone worked apart from a few annoying things every now and then (bluetooth not always working, phone battery life being short after replacing the battery with a new samsung battery) I just wanted the phone to be factory again, but now im not bothered i just want my phone to work.

When i flashed the file origionally in odin auto boot and f.reset time were the only fields ticked, sadly I didnt save the output from odin, however odin said the device passed (1 successful, 0 failed).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidriven:
So, at the end of the original flash, you got the green PASS! and it rebooted?

Or it did nothing?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cooperrr:
I got the green pass, the device rebooted but never finshed booting, it was just stuck on the glowing samsung logo after 10 minutes i gave up and turned the device off.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidriven:
Lol, you might have been fine, it can take up to 30 minutes on the first boot after flashing.

When you flash a device, the files get written into your system but the cache(files that have been preloaded) gets wiped, on first boot it has to freshly load everything because it is back to the state of nothing ever being loaded before. Once everything loads that first time then it will go back to booting quickly because it has been loaded at least once before. Basically, flashing puts everything there and first boot teaches the device how to read everything you put there.

If you can still get to download mode just flash the i9300 file again and patiently wait for it to boot this time, lol.

Let me know how it goes, hopefully what you have tried hasn't done anything that would keep it from successfully flashing this time.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cooperrr:
hahaha, i'll leave it for a while and try and be more patient this time, fingers crossed, thank you for your patience!!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidriven:
No, it won't flash through recovery, the file type isn't right. You would need an update.zip for that, not a .tar.

Are you certain that those firmwares are for your model?

---------- Post added at 08:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:33 PM ----------

See if it will boot to stock recovery, if it does, factory reset in recovery and wipe cache then reboot.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cskompella:
Yes. My samsung s4 is t-mobile sgh-m919. so I searched stock firmwares on net. I couldnot find any other for for that model.:confused: I think it is in stock recovery only. I dont know whether Vroot is success or not.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidriven:
Here are all of your stock firmwares

http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SGH-M919

Try getting one of them in .zip instead of .tar.md5, the zip can be flashed in stock recovery.

If that doesn't work try one of those firmwares with Odin, try them all if you have to.

You can also try using Samsung Kies from PC to repair the device as long as Kies has been updated with your devices firmwares, can connect to and properly detect the device, it might restore your device.

Hopefully one of those methods fixes you.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cskompella:
Thank you very much for the help. I will download and try to flash using Odin. I never used Kies as it hangs on my PC. (My good old PC has only 500mb Ram.) Are those lock my s4 to T-mobile? Mine is unlocked one and I reside in India.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidriven:
I don't know about that, I'm not sure those firmwares will work for you in India. They are GSM firmwares but I have no idea if they are unlocked, you might want to research that, if they are locked then do some research to see if they can be unlocked. Research all of that and get your answers before you flash anything.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cskompella:
One more thing, suppose it gets locked to t mobile, will I be able to root the phone and install any custom ROM so it gets unlocked and work in India?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidriven:
That is what I just said you needed to research. Find the forum for your device and start asking people there that have your device also.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cskompella:
Thank you very much for your help. I will post the progress.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cskompella:
Still I could not restore my phone. I could install CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505.tar.md5 using odin. Now recovery screen letters are big and clear. So I thought it is a success. After that I tried the Stock ROMs and again failed. I found rooted stock ROM Fenny-UVUFNB4-STOCK-ROOTEDv1.2 at galaxys4root. To be installed from recovery mode using a memory card. Will I have further problems with it like loosing download mode and recovery mode also?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidriven:
I don't know if it will let you flash a i9505 ROM, I don't even know how you flashed the i9505 auto root and recovery that you flashed. Flashing files that are for a different model than you have usually bricks a device. You can try flashing a ROM as long as it is in .zip format.

You many can also try using the mobile Odin app to flash the stock firmware, its designed to flash stock firmware through the app, it might work to flash your stock firmware.

Since you are flashing things that are actually for another device I can't tell you if it is safe or not because flashing other stuff is usually not safe, you would taking a chance if you try it.

If it bricks it there are a few ways to fix it but usually when flashing a file from another devices causes a bricked device, it bricks it permanently to the point that not even Samsung can fix it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cskompella:
It is not a ROM but installing root. I found it at "Guide to Root T-Mobile Galaxy S4 SGH-M919 on Stock Kernel via ChainFire – How To" location and found to work on mine also. If it is wrong one, can I now install CWM - OUDHS-Recovery-jfltetmo-1.0.3.3 on top of the earlier one? If I cannot flash the stock rom, atleast I want to have a custom rom to make my cell work. Actually, rooted stock ROM Fenny-UVUFNB4-STOCK-ROOTEDv1.2 I found at galaxys4root is the only ROM in zip format I found for M919.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidriven:
I told you that I can't tell you that anything made for something else will work. If you have documented proof that what you want to flash works on your device and you have a guide to follow then I assume you're safe. I can't tell you one way or the other, I have no idea.

Device is soft-bricked!!

Hi there...

a while back I tried deodexing my sm-g355H's stock ROM but it did not turn out successful. So I booted into cwm 6.0.3.7 recovery mode then I tried to restore a nandroid backup.... but after boot image is successfully restored it was forever stuck at the line "restoring system" so I powered off the device and booted back into recovery mode then I tried to backup, just to see it it was also not working. To my astonishment, it said "error mounting /system". Then I went into the mounts and storage menu and tried mounting /system but it instantaneously failed with the message "error mounting /system". So I went down the list tried and mounting /data and /cache, they also both failed with message "error mounting /data" and "error mounting /cache". Though my sd-card was still mountable by cwm. So now im stuck with a phone which would be stuck in boot screen when I try to boot it. The only things which I can access now us the recovery mode,download mode. Though Odin can still detect my phone if I connect it to my PC......

So will flashing a stock ROM fix it?

or should I take it to a nearest service center?..

or will trying your above mentioned methods solve it??

PLEASE HELP ME!! ;-(

Samsung Galaxy Core 2 Duos SM-G355H

Root Access- yes

Cwm recovery 6.0.3.7 installed

Running on stock ROM, android 4.4.2(kit-kat).

Thanks in advance!!!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidriven:
When you restore a nandroid backup, the partitions that get restored are formatted in the restore process. This means that everything got wiped before the restore process started, you interrupted the restore process so nothing got restored, this leaves the partitions blank that were going to be restored. You should have just waited for it to finish restoring. You can try doing an advanced restore and restore each partition individually and see if it works.

Try restoring the whole nandroid again but this time wait more than a few minutes, it can take 30 minutes sometimes.

If nothing works then try flashing stock firmware via Odin, just make sure you have the drivers installed and make sure you get the correct firmware for your model.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cskompella:
With your help I could at last revive my S4. I have rooted it, installed CWM recovery, then from its external SD card installed Fenny rooted stock rom .zip and it is up and away. Occasionally there is some lag here and there (not a big issue). But mobile signal is poor. 0 most of the time and it is taking 40 seconds to switch on WIFI and every time it is asking for Password to connect. How can I solve this problem?

Thank you very much for your help.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidriven:
Look into finding out if your VPN and APNs are set to the correct values for your region. Also, try contacting some kind of tech support from your service provider or a local shop that flashes phones from one region to another or one service provider to another and ask them about whether or not you have the correct modem, it may need a modem compatible with your region flashed.

You're doing something that I have no experience with. You have a GSM device, I've never dealt with GSM, I've only owned and operated CDMA phones. On top of that, you are using a firmware that wasn't made for that device, there are going to be little things here and there that don't work like they are supposed to.

Now that you have recovered the device, I would look into whether or not you can flash that devices original firmware so that everything works like it is supposed to and then make sure it is SIM unlocked so that it can be set to World mode to allow it to work in other regions, it was designed to work that way from the factory so it would probably be the best way to set your device to operate in your region.

I don't know all the answers you need because you are using firmware from another device instead of the firmware it is supposed to have, this makes things too unpredictable so its not going to be easy. I don't have experience with mixing things the way you have done, that isn't the normal way it is done and usually bricks a device, I'm actually amazed that it worked for you without damaging the device.

Fenny-UVUFNB4-STOCK-ROOTEDv1.2 is for meant for only s4 m919 TMB. UVUFNB4 is listed in the official firmware list of Samsung TMB for S4 M919. But it is a zip format which you asked me to find out as i could not flash using Odin. I will now find out about the modem issue.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidriven:
Hmm...OK, I think you may have some modems available for that model then, I thought you flashed a file from another device. I understand that you didn't now. If you find modems then you need to ask other users with your device or some of the developers that work with your device, if any exist. You need to find members here that are specifically knowledgeable about that model number device to see what is safe for you to flash from where you are at.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Samuel2599:
I tried that, waited for more than an hour but to no avail..........So i went to Sammobile and downloaded my firmware from there and flashed it,my device is up and running again......Anyways thanks for the info...I never realized that restoring a nandroid backup firstly formats my whole system....will never do those dirty battery pulls ever again :good::good:
