You have soft bricked your phone as CF3D drivers didn work as it was supposed to. First turn off your device by long pressing power key, this works many times even if you are in a boot loop(which is what you are experiencing now). Now like always try to enter recovery mode manually by the combination specified for your device (mine is power+home key+vol. up for recovery and power+home+vol. down for download). If you can enter recovery mode, wipe data and cache and if needed dalvik cache as well but it will take more time for your phone to start the first time after dalvik cache is wiped. This will probably fix your problem. And if it doesn then your next choice is flashing stock rom via odin. Pull your battery, insert it back after 10 seconds. Enter download mode manually and you know how to flash stock rom via odin i suppose. You can find many guides out there as well.. Hopes this helps...

Dont worry. Pull battery for 10sec and see if you can enter download mode. check this for your stock rom. This will do for now. You can later search for your region or flash a custom rom.

Sure.. I can help you. Check this.. It got what you need and it should work this time. Ignore the stuff mentioned at first of the article coz they are talking bout a perfectly working device and we are facing a worst case scenerio. Download the required files. Uninstall kies if you have it installed coz it will probably clash with Odin trying to access your device and report error. So have just the usb drivers installed and remove kies first. Next do as they say. It should be fine. Let me know if it worked.

This might get you back your recovery. Flash this cwm.tar.md5 using odin. select the PDA option and select the .tar.md5 file you got now. Check if it restores your recovery and let me know.

If you can enter download mode then dont give up. Try for odin flashable Roms and if you take your phone to service centre, dont tell them what really happened coz it will void your warranty. Tell them it happened while flashing the official stock rom update. It might save you from paying em and also losing your warranty..

You can but should have odin flashable files. Well if you find any then you can try it. But trying the ones you got already might work as you got the logo now.

[Q] Recover internal data from SIII I9305 when in boot loop and cant connect via U

Hi I have the Samung S III I-9305 to which I have never made any changes to the Android 4.1.2. OS. Also, I have never used an external SD card, so all my data is in internal memory.
All of a sudden, while playing a game the screen froze and I had to pull out the battery of the phone. Next I know, the phone has gone into a boot loop. It would show the Samung logo, show the blue circle around it, then show the word Samsung with a blue background lighting up and then the cycle resumes infinitely.
Since the phone is under warranty, I went to the Samsung Customer Service Centre, they said the software is probably corrupted and reloading the data will wipe out all data. Now I need to maintain my contacts and photos!
After scouring the internet, here is what I tried:
1. Connect the phone to the computer via a USB – the computer fired up Kies but the phone could not connect due to constant rebooting
2. Press Vol Up + Home + Power buttons – I got the Android robot with open body and a 3D polygon rotating, following a short error message (see attached image) and the phone reboots
3. Press Vol Down + Home + Power buttons – I go a normal Warning message about a custom OS…but then I do not know what to do and whether it would erase my data.
Given this situation, is there ANY way that I can recover my data? If so, any steps would be most appreciated. Many Thanks!

If you can not go in recovery mode (picture) , most probably you will lose your data - only photos , because contacts are backed-up with your Google account .
So , next time use an SD card . It is an advantage , not many phones offer anymore , nowadays .

Put it in download mode and install stock firmware with odin. You wont lose any photos or music etc.

Hi Goldie,
Thanks for your response. Unfortunately, I am so novice that I am not sure of the exact steps to follow out your advice.
Would you be able to guide me to some link which can show me the steps to do this or you can spell out for me? I'd be more than happy to get you 2 beers!

I agree with your suggestion to use and SD card and also do backups regularly. My contacts are not backed up in my Google account - maybe I did not choose to sync with google account. It has been a painful experience that I would not want to undergo ever again.

Google or search in this forum - how to flash a ROM with Odin . Also you can find a stock Samsung ROM somewhere here . But I advise to read very well the instructions because you can brick your phone . To go to download mode - volume down + home + power .

Why use this Root Method? Well the main reasons are:
- You have a complete Odin Flashable ROM Package.
- No Insecure Kernels are used or required.
- You can flash these packages on Non-Rooted devices
- The Binary Flash Counter will NOT increase when flashing these ROM Packages.
- The Red Exclamation Mark will NOT appear at boot up.
- And finally, you only have to flash one file in Odin and you have a complete firmware including Root Permissions.

Hi Raistlin,
Thanks for your advice. I tried the link you mentioned and now my phone has gone into a boot loop or maybe bricked.
Here is what I did
1. Downloaded Odin3 v1.85
2. Downloaded the stock ROM (PHONE: XXBMD5 version) from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1942150
3. Started my phone in download mode and started Odin and connected the phone. Odin successfully connected to the phone
4. Chose the tar.md5 file that I extracted from the ROM zip file and pressed Start.
5. It took a few minutes to upload to my phone and then the phone went into a boot loop with the same error message as in my first post. [SEE Windows VIDEO zip attached]
Any suggestions why this happened and what I can do now to get out of this boot loop? Is it possible that this is a hardware problem and not a software problem? At least I need to bring the phone to a situation where I can take it back to Samung and still fix it under warranty.

Thanks
Danke Leute ihr habt mir sehr geholfen

@ NotBackedUp
If I am not wrong , your EFS is damaged . Since you don't have an EFS backup is better to don't attempt other methods for fix . Check Binary Flash Counter and Status in download mode .If counter is 0 and Status is Samsung original , you can take phone to dealer for warranty .

Sent phone into Samsung Service Centre for repair
Dear All,
I truly appreciate all those who took the time to read my posts to understand my problem and especially to those who took the effort to respond and help me out.
I needed to get this phone ready soon and I went back to the Service Centre. My warranty remained intact. I was told that in 5 mins I will have a new ROM installed. In 5 mins they came out and told me that it was a hardware problem and the only way to fix it was to change the motherboard.
They took it in, and within a day returned it with a new motherboard. Now, it is working.
Thanks very much xda developers and thank you all for your help!

Thank you so much for your reply, but unfortunately I just bought a new battery couple of days back too. So I don't think so it could be battery's problem.

Hello Everyone,
I bought my Note 4 (T-Mobile) from USA and Unfortunately I am not in USA anymore and My phone is keep restarting itself every 5-10 mins and goes to an error Modem Fail "Security Error: This phone has been flashed with an unauthorized software &amp is locked." even though I have never rooted this phone, it's in original state as it was bought, my phone was locked to T-Mobile so I thought this could be the reason I'm getting this error and couple of days back I got it unlocked from a shop and still gets the same error, I have tried reinstalling the stock firmware from Smart Switch, tried Hard Rest and Almost Everything but can't get my phone working, Can anyone help me out with this error please? what do I do to get my phone back. Please find the attachment for the Error I'm getting.
Thank You Everyone,
Looking forward to a Kind reply.

What is your exact model number so i can give you correct files links ?
For example T-mobile note 4 has 3 models (SM-N910T / SM-N910T2 / SM-N910T3 .which 1 of these 3 you got?
You can simply check your model number by pressing 3 button combo while device is switched off (volume down+home+power) will boot into odin download mode press volume up to continue there you can see your device model number on top left corner.
It will be better if you can take a photo of your device while in odin download mode and and upload it so i can see what else will require to fix.
Let me know and I'll get back to you.

What kind of error pops up ?
Do factory reset 1 more time.after reset let phone completly cool down dont touch anything .
then you complete setup.
Use high speed microsd card if microsd card is not good it can cause issues and lag to whole device.
Download wake lock app from playstore and open the app you have to click on partial wake lock as shown in screenshot below.it will manage your cpu to run more efficient.
If issue still remains you have to erase old nandroid completly by using PIT FILE and repartion your internal memory to flash fresh nandroid.
Try first the things that i mention and use your device for 2 days.if it didnt work after that you can try erasing nandroid with my guide.

you can fix this problem permanently by erasing old corrupted nandroid and if this method also fail then might your device has some hardware issues.
Let me know if you want to do that i will guide you.

Let's give this one a try cuz till now I tried almost every thing and yeah I just noticed another thing which is my phone's ICCID is also Unknown. I am not sure but do you think this might be causing problem?
Thank You Once again for so much help.

Hi I'm unable to connect my phone to pc unfortunately and Now I believe this is hardware problem as when I decided to get my phone unlocked the person who was unlocking couldn't connect either so he'd suggested me that it's a hardware problem and couple of days later I was able to connect to PC till today. so I think I won't be able to perform repartition my phone until and unless I get my connectivity back. Thank You so much for your help anyway. I'd definitely give it a try as soon as I get my connectivity back and will update you.
Thanks

I just tired, and nothing worked out. the place where I took my phone to unlock he actually changed the charging and connecting port to check if it's port problem but the result was same until it gets back connectivity on it's own. I just changed the cable reset phone couple of times. It's not even connecting as a media device.
