[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] Unkiejay:
Hi,

I've been searching the net and this forum for a fix, it seems like a few people have had the same issue as me, but either their post is unanswered or they say they've fixed it but never say how.

My phone one day went into a infinite loop of the Samsung Splash screen and I tried fixing it by googling the issue (Over 5 months ago) which may have caused more issues for my phone in the end. I remember entering recovery mode and wiping everything on the phone, then nothing I did could fix the thing.

So I just stopped touching it and left it to collect dust and used my old iPhone 3. My iPhone 3 is now broken and I've come back to my S3, so at the moment:

I can't enter recovery mode on my phone (It just won't start in recovery mode at all)

I CAN enter download mode

I've tried using ODIN (v3.09, 3.07, 1.85) and changing multiple USB ports and I was finally able to get my phone to show up on Odin.

I then downloaded the stock firmware from sammmobile website (It took forever to download) Which I made sure was the right model (GT-I9305) and Carrier (Optus, Australia)

Which is filename: I9305XXALI5_I9305OPSALI5_I9305XXALI5_HOME.tar.md5

I tried flashing that firmware with Odin (All 3 versions) [I reset the phone and Odin after every failed attempt]

and I would get this error:

That was WITHOUT having a PIT file included and also the only things ticked were 'Auto Reboot' and 'F. Reset Time'.

Then I searched all over the internet and came across this PIT Partition file

the filename is: m3xx_i9305.pit

which I then used in the PIT section of Odin WITH and WITHOUT the previously mentioned Firmware and I would then get this:

It would just sit on Get PIT for mapping for a very long time, longest I left it was an hour.

So I can't get it working that way, I also tried ADB Bootloading in the CMD prompt, but the device could never be found that way.

So after spending about 5 hours on this I'm resorting to just asking anyone on here for some help.

Thank you!

I've read you tried with different USB ports, OK, but did you try with a different USB cable when you use ODIN ? A brand new one ?

question

thanks for this! i want to try but i cant download anything from mediafire, you can put this file on another site for download like google drive?

Camera not working

recording does't work

/ sorry my bad engilsh i from poland :))
[Desire HD General] nu11secur1ty:
If your camera wont work, you have to try to set on "480p" and then restart the phone and test again! I guess then everything will be fine! :)

Аnyway. :) My camera worked on HD 720p Perfectly and Sound Recorder also :)

I hope I've helped!

Ok man!
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] n1r0k:
So look like pre-orders in the UK are going ahead on Friday. I went to the Samsung experience store in London today to take a look and choose a colour. However they didn't have the two colours I am trying to decide between: Gold or Green.

Has anyone had hands on with either of these? I cant quite decide if I like the green, I do like a phone a little different, so it probably will be my choice.

Is it possible to do a poll on here of the colours?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] spridell:
I wonder if all colors will be available right away at launch.

Samsung is known for releasing different colors of phones over time.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] abdielol:
I think I'm going for Platinum Gold, depending on how noticeable fingerprints look. It looks very professional and sleek. I know the Pearl White one conceals fingerprints the most but I'm bored of white already.

The Emerald Green also looks extremely sexy. I really want to see them all before I choose one.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] crea78:
I will be going for the gold variant if it is available at AT&T
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] LeilaW:
Green of course.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] iselia:
I pre-ordered black Edge
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] avenging:
green if it will ever land in bahrain or saudi lol.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] K.D.M.:
Pre orderd the 128 GB Black edition.

Looking forward to it.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Szadzik:
I pre-ordered a black one, but now having seconds thoughts about a gold one. I am afraid to change my order, as I am unsure whether Samsung will have enough phones to send out when it becomes available.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] gc2k:
Im going to get the green one with 128gb. It is for me by far the best looking edge version
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] skanj:
I've gone for the gold one, best colour in my opinion
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] mudassar_ali:
definitely go for green...!
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] spridell:
Looks like T-Mobile will only be getting the Black and White models in to start then Gold later on.

If you read the comments on their youtube video they say that

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SaZlx3YBCsQ&t=104

I will be holding out for the gold. Black and white are too normal need a nice color for a phone like this.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Barff1984:
Yep, All gold variants will be available 1st May.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] spridell:
If thats the case thats not too bad. I can wait a couple of more weeks for the Gold.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Kabak1988:
Emerald Green
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] uktivo:
I initially went with white... Only becasue I always have black phones and wanted a change.. then I saw pics of the green one... Oh Yeah.... that looks pretty sleek to me.. So I went ahead and swapped my order..

128gb Emerald Green....
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] twistedvegan:
saw the black one in a store the other day and placed a preorder straight away! It's not just black it has a blue/green pearlescent sheen that looks stunning. the white has a similar effect but nowhere near as nice and I expect the green one will be similar.

The black one is definitely the best looking imo. once you see this phone in the flesh you realise that the s6 edge is a real game changer. probably the best looking phone ever made and it's as slim as phones are ever going to need to get. wish I could go into cryogenic stasis and wake up on the 10th of april!
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] skivnit:
Only black and white available at launch here then gold will come at the end of the month, no sign about the green one :/

Sent from my SM-G900F
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] tft:
just as i predicted, pretty pathetic of samsung as usual. over market, never deliver. my guess is many carriers wont see nothing at all except W/B colors. lots of disappointment when people cant buy the color they want.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] hung2900:
I'm thinking about the gold one, with a matte glass protector behind.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] gclancer:
Just Pre ordered Black 128GB from Clove
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] le0.br4zuc4:
If Verizon carries it, green 128
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] spridell:
Looks like NO green or blue for the US carriers

[Galaxy S6 Edge General] pjm1891:
Think I'm gonna go gold, since Samsung can't meed the demand for green at launch, at least not here in Sweden. All the green ones coming here for launch are pretty much already sold.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Dat Noob:
The Black WIdow version looks the best imo.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Alex-V:
definitely emerald green
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] 850RPM:
green all the way;

unfortunately I don't think the cheapest company in the world aka Rogers Canada will have it.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] kevs888:
For T-Mobile, I was told today by a phone rep that Black and White will be available for pre-order on 3/27/15 @ 7 am PST. IF they get gold in earlier, it'll be added to the pre-order. If not, the gold variant will be available by 4/10.

In T-Mobile's fine print, they also write:

"Un-carrier customers can purchase the Galaxy S 6 in White Pearl and Black Sapphire at http://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phones/samsung-galaxy-s-6.html and the Galaxy S 6 edge in White Pearl and Black Sapphire at http://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phones/samsung-galaxy-s-6-edge.html beginning March 27 at 7 a.m. pacific time. The Gold Platinum edition of both phones will be available as soon as T-Mobile gets inventory from Samsung – and no later than April 10."

I'm hoping to get the Gold for myself. And for this one, since root's already waiting, I'll probably line up (yuck) to go get one on 4/10 if it hasn't been released for pre-order.

I wish they had green, though...why would they even mention it if no carrier is offering it? I understand they may release it at a later date, but boo anyway...
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] yoshinowasomy:
I also want gold!
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] crea78:
For those of us who want gold, we will have to wait until April 27th before getting the phone :(

Forgot to add, this is for the AT&T version.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] tehdef:
T-Mobile USA ‏@TMobileHelp 5m5 minutes ago
[MENTION=4621065]tehdef[/MENTION] Oh! The gold one is coming by April 10th :) *JB
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] sgruz:
Black.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] TheDudeAbides:
I currently have the NEXUS 5 in white. I've been rocking that for 2 years and the back is dirty and all scratched up (as it should be).

But for the S6 Edge, I got the 64GB in Black Sapphire. It just looks amazing. There are hints of blue, sparkles, clean, and dark. The Gold is available from Sprint, but it looks too iPhoney for me.

Can't wait!
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] YoungAceAtlanta:
Was thinking about getting the gold. But the more i look at it, the more it don't fit me. Plus the gold won't be available till the 27th for AT&T so i'm going with the White 64GB.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] rank78:
I want gold but have a black one preordered from Best Buy for Sprint. My intention is to swap if gold becomes available soon, but I'm leaning toward the Spigen Neo Hybrid case and the black may look better since it'll mostly be covered anyway.
[General Questions and Answers] XDA Visitor:
I want to buy an Android phone for my Sprint account that I can use as a dedicated wifi hotspot. I want a Spark-enabled phone, like an LG G2 or G3, but one that is easily rooted and easily modded to have unlimited wifi hotspot. Need suggestions on models. Where could I post this question? Thanks.
[General Questions and Answers] herna:
Well I´m not from the USA, but I can share you a few links where you could ask.

Also I have to say I´ve never heard about the possibility to have unlimited wifi hotspot. Your Wifi Hotspot limit depends of how much monthly data you have, as soon as you finish all your data you will get slower connection or not connection at all, but never ever unlimited and free.

Thank you in advance
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] henry_david:
I encountered this problem yesterday. Every time the phone would sleep, when awaking it, the system with momentarily freeze then reboot. Here is the real mystery, it also would not power down. Instead of powering down, it would reboot. It would reboot into system if powering down from the desktop, if power down or recovery was selected from bootloader or if power down was selected from the recovery screen. The only way I could reach recovery would be to allow it to boot to the desktop, plug in the USB port to a computer and ADB reboot recovery. Bottom line, you couldn't turn the thing off!

I'm running Captain Throwback's 4.13.651.4 Custom ROM, TWRP 2.8.5.0, HBOOT 2.10.0000, Radio 1.13.11.1105, UNLOCKED, S-OFF, rooted with SuperSU. I loaded the Captain's ROM according to the instructions, electing to run the stock 4.13.615.3 RUU before flashing his custom ROM. I've been running fine on this config for about a month.

Here is what I did to fix it. First, I wiped Dalvic Cache, Cache, System, Data, and Internal Storage. Then, I tried to do a full restore from a TWRP backup I had done after I loaded the stock 4.13.651.3 RUU. The restore ran for about a 30 seconds and suddenly, rebooted into system before the restore finished. Obviously, it didn't complete the boot and was locked on the boot screen. Now, all I had could reach was bootloader. Bootloader still would reboot into system (unsuccessfully) if recovery or power down was selected. I'm thinking brick at this point. All things start from boot so, I decided to try replacing boot. I connected the USB cable to the computer and fastboot flashed the copy of boot.emmc.win (same as the existing running version) from the TWRP backup done after I loaded the stock 4.13.615.3 RUU. Rebooted into bootloader (flashed copy, I assume) but, no change except, now, the phone would reboot if I connected the USB cable to the computer in fastboot. However, it would not reboot if I connected a wall charger in fastboot. I'm definitely thinking brick now.

Tried one last thing before frisbeeing it. I took phone out of the mid-frame and pulled the battery cable to the motherboard. I left it off for a minute or so before reconnected it. When I reconnected the battery cable, the phone immediately booted into system (unsuccessfully) instead of staying powered off. Now, I'm sure it's Frisbee time. I pulled the battery cable to the motherboard and went to dinner. Got back from dinner and reconnected the battery cable and started putting it back together. But, the phone stayed powered off this time. I finished putting it together and it started working normally. Bootloader would power off the phone and would boot recovery. Recovery would also power off. I reflashed Captain Throwback's 4.13.615.4 custom ROM and everything seems back to normal.

Does anybody have any insight into this? I've never heard of a phone behaving like this. If it was a corrupted HBOOT, it seems reflashing it would have fixed it. Why did leaving the battery disconnected for a long period finally resolve it?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] henry_david:
Update on this problem. Discovered the power-down problem resulting in a reboot is common on Android AND IOS. All the replies I've seen so far keep referring to a "bug" that will hopefully be resolved in a later update. Still can't find any replies about reboots after waking from sleep. The reboot on power-down problem has returned to my phone as well. It is not rebooting when waking from sleep however. I did discover that, if I turn Wifi off before I power-down, the phone does not reboot. I have reproduced this 10 to 15 times. Each time the reboot on power-down problem occurs, the Wifi was on when I powered-down from the desktop. When I turned Wifi off before I powered-down, it did not ever reboot.

I'm not getting any replies to this tread. Am I posting in the right place?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] henry_david:
Second update on this lonely thread. I've narrowed down the problem to a hardware issue. I was having another problem with the WiFi not connecting to local routers intermittently. This is another issue that is commonly reported for this device. I noticed that, when I pressed on the front of the mid-frame on the HTC logo, the WiFi would suddenly connect and stay connected for a period of time. The connection would eventually be lost and, I would have to press on the same area of the mid-frame to get the WiFi to connect again. If you take the top rear cover off, the part on the motherboard where the WiFi antenna (and, perhaps some of the WiFi circuitry) is located directly behind the area where I was pressing to make the WiFi connect.

As previously noted, the reboot problem on power-did not occur when WiFi was turned off before shutting down. My theory is, when the system was shutdown with WiFi turned on, the malfunctioning WiFi circuit could have been causing the power circuit on the motherboard to sense a power-on condition and, restarting the system instead of completing the power down. OTOH, If the WiFi circuit was turned-off before shutdown, the malfunctioning WiFi circuit was disabled and did not cause the false restart.

Lastly, I noticed the phone seemed to have a bend in it. If I sighted along the top edge of the phone, it seemed to have a slight bowed appearance. It was bowed outward toward the front of the phone. This is why I thought to try to press on the top front of the phone to see if that would cause the WiFi to connect. To my surprise, it did. The WiFi connect problem is a common complaint on these phones as well as the reboot on power-off problem. However, there are plenty of accounts from other users that do not have either problem. I happened to go to the grocery store the other day and saw a young clerk at the store with her phone in the hip pocket of her jeans. It made me wonder if, people sitting on their phones is how these phones get damaged.

My mobile dont recognize usb storanges via otg. On the other hand it can recognize mouse via otg
[XDA Assist] herna:
Hello! First of all thank you for creating the thread in the XDA Assist forum.

You need to reply me just three questions:

1. Which is your device?

2. Did you try with another USB storages to see if he recognizes it?

3. Did you download a file explorer to see if your USB OTG is recognized?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] RickoT:
I flashed my device a few days ago, and installed all my apps... everything worked fine except for one thing.

Every morning my device has 2 or 3 error messages stating "cannot find calnot.exe" and an application i use resets my today theme.

This morning I had my normal error messages, and "cannot find repllog.exe"

After this happens my device runs slow as hell even with 25 mb ram available (It might be a CPU Utilization issue but I dont have any apps to track that)

After a soft reset, everything looks OK, but changing my theme every day is starting to annoy the crap out of me, and the error messages are conserning me... any suggestions?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] badbert:
Repllog.exe has something to do with Active Sync...

you might want to use the search function, I found this by searching

Also did you remove anything from startup folder, or mess with the extended ROM these could be causing that problem, I would suggest reading the thread belonging to the ROM you flashed.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] RickoT:
I didnt remove anything from startup, and the only thing I did with my ext rom was unlock it so it showed up (Whcih doesnt do much because I cant read it anyways) and thats one of the first few things I do so I know it was OK for the first few days like that.

I am currently using Xplore 1.1, I searched the forum, and I found a few small things like duplicates (whcih I searched for using memmaid) but nothing that I felt would rectify the problem
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] edhaas:
Ah, Well, you've at least described having a corrupted extended rom. (Since you don't see anything in there.) I would suggest fixing that with a downgrade to a stock rom and then reflashing your rom of choice. Then leave the extended rom alone. Hope that sorts out your problem.

Regards,
