EDIT: Can be closed, fixed it by going into recovery and wiping data/cache, never had to do that before in other flashes so didn't know it was needed
Hi guys,
first of all I'm not another first time flasher, I already succesfully put 4 other roms on my galaxy s but now I don't know what to do..
I came from jm5 and wanted to upgrade to jm8 today so I back upped everything and started the process, I thought I'd best follow richthoven's instructions so I first flashed the pit file + repartition, and then after pass, removed battery, back to download mode and put pda,modem,csc etc like always and started flashing.
Now my problem is from what I remember after the final reboot before odin sais pass the s logo dissapears and the phone boots into touchwiz, but now after the s logo dissappeared, my screen just stays black and after a minute or two odin sais passed, but there's nothing on my screen, and even after disconnecting and removing battery and try to boot it hangs on the s logo for a few minutes then a black screen with the backlight buttons highlighted.
Any help here would be greatly appreciated!
PS: I already tried the flashing procedure twice, same result
Hi,
I have a Samung Galaxy S3 LTE International (GT-I9305) that I have flashed with the nightly cyanogenmod about a month ago. This morning, when I woke up, the phone was stuck on the 'boot screen' that just showed the "Samsung Galaxy SIII GT-I9305" wordings. I thought, no problem, I'll just take out the battery and restart. Tried that, no help. Boot screen still there. Thought again, no problem, I'll just boot into recovery mode and flash the latest nightly again. Tried that, to my horror, I couldn't boot into my clockworkmod recovery! Tried the up-home-power button key press, but this time the same boot screen shows up, and then disappears immediately again. Short while later, the same boot screen reappears and just hangs there.
Tried booting into download mode, but that warning screen appears for half a sec, disappears, and then the same boot screen reappears and hangs there again.
Any ideas what else I can try? Is this the motherboard dead?
Thanks!

Try to enter into download mode and flash a stock ROM (even if the screen doesn't display information [if it was not shutdown]).
Probably a motherboard problem due to SoC overheating or defective eMMc chip (I don't know if SDS exists on S3 LTE).
OK. After further googling, looks like my phone have all the symptoms of half-SDS. I've sent it to the service center. Hoping it'll be covered under warranty even though I've loaded cyanogenmod.
HI,
I have experienced a weird problem with my phone. it will not boot and whenever i turn it on, the initial samsung galaxy s6 logo (powered by android) screen comes on, goes blank and goes back to the same screen.
i have tried wipe data/reset from recovery as well as trying to odin flash 5.1.1 stock fw. none of these have worked. as of now, my phone is just stuck and will not get past the initial screen.
any thoughts/suggestions? don't know what else to do right now .
I bought this Note 5, When phone is charged it is stuck in restore loop, displaying Samsung Galaxy Note5 on and off, also the flashlight is on all the time, i am unable to do hard reset and phone cannot be turned off till battery dies,.
i tried to odin it and it flash to 6.0 but still stuck as described above,
here is an image of what i am saying
please how can i use odin or force Recovery?
I was downgrading from 8.0 to 7.1.1 and I used Odin. The process worked and Odin said it completed properly. The phone restarted and now I haven't been able to get past the Samsung screen during bootup. Any recommendations?
