What kind of wipe/formatting do you do before you Install a new rom??

Being able to boot into recovery, at least, is a good start. Can you get into download mode, and, if so, have you used Odin to flash stock firmware, rather than using CWM or whatever recovery you're using? Can you use adb while the device is booting?

I have the same problem , although i do have a backup efs file from polar box that was made using i9300 not i9305, but no matter what rom i put on stock from odin or not still stuck at samsung logo:crying:
Iam at the same problem :/
Seems like a brick to me... need to use a jig, or just send back to samsung and say that your phone is not starting up. Happened for my galaxy ace last time. Send to samsung and they replaced my motherboard
Sv: [Q] hardbrick??
Not a brick! Just put it in download mode and flash stock rom via Odin and then go into stock recovery and factory reset!
This should do it.

+1 this.
Same thing happened to me and flashing from ODIN worked. Although I never recovered my serial number; it became all zeros. Thankfully my IMEI is okay so I'll live. And if you need stock firmware hit up samsung-updates.com.

thats the reason why I asked to confirm.....
if you wiped on stock ics rom in stock recovery then it means your phone is bricked.
Phone getting stuck on factory fs during flash via pc odin is another confirmation.
Follow the guide in this --

If you have warranty then go to service centre and get motherboard replaced ( a better option) but tell them you were trying for update and phone did not reboot.
ok, recovery mode (CWM) is on now

We need to be clear here. Did the wipe occur on stock 3e ICS recovery, Which is NOT a CWM recovery. OR did the wipe happen AFTER reflashing CWM.zip (the one from you-tube or wherever - originally used to root phone).
If the latter, then we are talking about a true SUPERBRICK. ie: repartition or new MOBO being only options.

Before anything.
Model: GT-I8190
JZO54K.I8190XXAMB2
I tried to root my device without prior knowledge and ended up soft(i hope) bricking my phone. It showed that the files are damaged and that I need to connect with Kies to repair it. Did that. Twice. Both ended up with me being stuck at logo screen.
Power + home + volume up doesnt work, it just goes straight into logo screen and gets stuck.
When I enter Odin mode I get the custom binary download: 2
Current binary: custom
System status: Official.
My mobile can't load up, so I can't turn debug mode on.
Repairing the phone with Kies does nothing.
Tried to flash into stock, still same thing.
Anyone got any idea about what I can do about it?
Tried using the Toolkit and Odin3 itself. Nothing worked so far.

To root JB look here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2147786 ignore stock recovery cause it don't work. If you want CwM download Rom Manager and install CwM in there and use that root zip file in CwM.

Can I root the phone using the toolkit 1.1? That program seems to have the rooting ability when debugging mode is on.
Or just flash in the CWM and then use the zip from that topic.
Either way it's up to you, I prefer the last way, don't forget to update SuperSU you can find it here, flash it in CWM.

Recovery PDA. Why use it?
- You flashed to stock rom without wiping data/cache/dalvik
- Can't get into recovery
- Repair soft-bricks
- Messed Partitions
Recovery PDA. How to use it?
- Flash RescuePDA.tar.md5 with Odin 1.85+
- When rebooting phone start into CWM6 *
- Wipe Cache/Data/Dalvik
- Reboot into Download Mode
- Flash Stock ROM
- Voilà, Enjoy Rescued phone
* CWM ask you to install an untrusted zip, doesn't matter if you select yes or no
Download: RescuePDA (Androidfilehost)

Thank you, it works!
Note: I don't know is that specific just for me, but the phone didn't autostart in CWM after reboot (if that should be happen). It stops on Galaxy Mini 2 logo and doesn't go into CWM. Then I tried recovery key combination (VOLUP+VOLDOWN+HOME) immediately after rebooting and that worked for me. Everything else was as described.

HI, so recently i brought a galaxy s gt i9000. I wanted to flash a custom rom so I install cwm and now have root access. problem is whenever i try to install a custom rom it shows the bar for installation in CWM and then goes to the custom rom logo. It does nothing else whatsoever after that. I need to take out my battery and restore my backup in order to get my phone working again from a bootloop. i tried putting the rom in both my external sd card and the phone itself. Also before installing i wiped the dalvik cache etc. Can someone please help, i've tried multiple roms so its obviously my phone. thanks
details:
Running JW4 firmware
android gingerbread 2.3.6
i9000 stucks in logo because your phone is not acessing internel memory...i have also got this problem..i dont have any solution..one thing u can do is that take your phone in download mode for 2 to 3 minutes approximately and then again on your phone ...this will work...But this problem comes again when u shutdown your mobile..another method is to take your i9000 in download mode and connect to computer and then download dbdata.rfs file put in odin in pda and apply ...these two processess will definately work fine to acess your internal memory
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda app-developers app
Just a few questions regarding how you installed the rom.
1.) What rom, first of all?
2.) After rooting 2.3.6 and trying to flash through recovery, did the phone skip to the kernel screen before continuously bootlooping?
3.) Did you try pulling your battery, then putting it back in, entering recovery and flashing the same rom again?

Hello knowledgeable people!
I did a very stupid thing!... I took an official Samsung ROM package .tar.md5, remove the .md5 extension, extracted it, replaced boot.img with a custom kernel boot.img and re-compressed into a .tar package.
Then I took this .tar package and flashed it on the phone with Odin on my PC.
That didn't work, as expected.
The process blocked at one point.
I thought I will then just have to flash the Samsung official ROM to get everything back.
Well... not! I can flash the Samsung official ROM with Odin on my PC, but when the phone starts, it get stucked on bootloop on the glowing samsung logo.
I tried many things, including:
* wipe cache
* wipe data
but nothing worked...
At this point, I think I need to repartition/format everything and start from scratch but I don't know how to do this...
I tried to flash the Partition Identification Table kindly uploaded by @lyriquidperfection, but it didn't work (see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1950591) and it gets stuck in Odin as @narcarsiss mentions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33145970&postcount=2

Yes enter recovery after flashing with Odin.
When u power on hold volume up home key and power all at the same time release them when u see Samsung gt i9305 then wipe cach and wipe the other one. There are 2 wipe options.
Your phone should boot now it takes some time the first time around a minute.
Let me know if it worked
- flash stock Samsung ROM for your country with Odin
- go to recovery wipe the 2 options When u power on hold volume up home key and power all at the same time release them when u see Samsung gt i9305

I fear sending S3 to Samsung for repair is the only way, unfortunately... This is what I will do tomorrow (in 10hrs from now) unless a white knight arrives on this thread and gives me the golden solution!
You havent mentioned what rom version you tried.
I guess you used 4.3 official?
I could only guess but ther is probably more then just boot.img containing Knox code.
Knox is hindering users from downgrading bootloader and that maight be your problem now.
You did not mention wich version you try to recover to either.
So if you try with the old 4.1.2 it may be impossible.
Perhaps you need the newest official rom to get it working.

Okey
A bit far feched but is it possible your download is broken? Try DL again.
And either it is or not you could try installing 4.3 from different region as yours. Just to try every possability.
It shouldnt be impossible to fix this stupid phone
You dont have any nandroid backup some where.
Last option. Throw it on a brick wall to release som aggrevation and then you buy a Nexus 5. Problem solved.

The issue is way deeper.
Thanks for your help! Before trying the brick wall, I will try to make it repaired by Samsung!

I had a brick once, butthe situation was a bit different. I have knox bootloader and tried to downgrade to a 4.1.2 rom without the bootloader package. The flash went ok, but my phone was stucked on Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9305 screen. After that, i was quite desperate and tried to reflash stock 4.3 via odin, but it failed :S
Then i tried to flash official Germany's 4.3 again, this time with the ODIN version inside CF-Root package (http://download.chainfire.eu/232/CF-Root1/CF-Auto-Root-m3-m3zh-gti9305.zip?retrieve_file=1), put the cable in another USB port, killed every kies proccess and rebooted phone in dowwnload mode. This time the flash went ok, i rebooted the phone into recovery (got bootloop) and wipe cache and factory reset. After this the phone booted up normally. Hope you can fix your phone

Thanks! Any idea is valuable!
How did you create the ball pack of "4.1.2 rom without the bootloader" - in other words: how did you remove the bootloader from there?

I'd used this tutotial (just the part of commands, added everything that the original ".md5" has, removing just the "sboot.img", i'm not 100% sure if this is the only file to be off the new package, as i said, didnt work for me ), the only difference is that i'm using cygwin instead of linux itself, it worked like a charm
Basically all u need to do is unpack a original .md5 firmware (use winrar or so) and move the files (except sboot.img) to your home directory of linux or, in my case, cygwin (originally C:\cygwin\home\user-name), start the console and type the command bellow, switching the ".imgs" to match yours, of course:
Code:
cd $HOME
tar -H ustar -c image_1 image_2 > your_odin_package.tar
After this you must have a 1Gb+ .tar file (considering you will make a stock samsung flashable), now you will add md5 checksum to that, just to avoid troubles:
Code:
md5sum -t your_odin_package.tar >> your_odin_package.tar
mv your_odin_package.tar your_odin_package.tar.md5
and voilà, you have your flashable odin package. Of course you can try making one with just the system.img, boot.img and modem.img. If the phone boots up, do a factory reset. I have no idea if this will work in any occasion having knox bootloader trying to flash official 4.1.x, but you can also try with a samsung 4.3 rom.
In the last scenario, try to CF auto-root your phone, then flash an official CWM recovery via odin using this method i told u, boot into recovery and flash a custom rom, do a factory reset and wiping cache and dalvik cache. I hope one of the options work for you.
I'd recommend trying to flash a custom recovery and then a custom rom. If phone boots up and is functional, try to flash samsung official 4.3 again (if your desire is having the stock of course), not forgeting to factory reset via cwm first to avoid troubles.
Been in maybe like pratically the same situation
1st flash philz touch recovery ( install latest version)
2nd backup ur efs in external sd and copy it to a pc just in case (important if u mess up imei )
3rd Copy and rom in the external sd
4th Wipe data,cache,dilvik
5th In mount and storage Format everything except external sd ( u can backup ur internal sd card with 3rd step)
6th Flash Rom and reboot
7th If no imei then try a newer modem
