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.

My i9000 gets stuck at the GalaxyS boot logo every time I try to start it.
First it shows the Samsung boot logo, then the logo of my provider (Drei) and then it gets stuck at the S logo. After some time the screen goes off but the phone stays on (the buttons light up when I touch the phone).
I read about others having the same issue but I can't even go into recovery or download mode.I tried several three button combinations but every single one gets to the same result-> the samsung logo shows over and over.
Maybe you know how to fix it?
Thank you.
P.S.: I'm sorry for my bad english.
First you'll need to state what you did to cause that to happen?

A longer time ago I rooted it and applied the One Click Lag Fix.
Everything worked fine.
But today I installed SGS-Tools from the market, installed the hacked camera and suddenly there was no camera installed at all.
I downloaded a Galaxy S camera apk and tried to install it but it couldn't install it.
Then I installed busybox and wanted to restart the phone but it won't start again.
Hi all,
I just flashed cyanogenmod 7.2 rc2 onto my samsung captivate yesterday via clockwork recovery. Now my phone is stuck in an infinite loop.
It loads At&T logo then displays the cyanogenmod screen, then goes in recovery mode for a second running some installation? then quickly back to AT&T logo again... this cycle repeats indefinitely unless I pull the battery out.
I am panicking right now =_=''. Can someone helP????
Do you not read??? It is supposed to do that. you have to do a battery pull and go into recovery (will be blue now and a different version) and re install

ya you need to go to recovery manually and reflash the rom again go and read about it and you will also get the reason for that
My friend wants me to fix his smartphone, that has boot problems!
When I start it, its showing the samsung logo circling. Then the normal shining Samsung lettering appears. After 30 sec-60 sec, the Smartphone is repeating the same process from the circling logo.. It is a non ending loop
My friend said, the Phone was bought in Lebanon. ( We live in Germany ) Otherwise I dont know anything about the device, but probably it's not rooted. How can I fix this problem?
Now, I've seen, that there isnt any Sim-Card included. But this shouldnt cause the problem
That's a bootloop. You'll have to reformat the whole phone with Odin. Just Google how to update galaxy mini to gingerbread and simply grab a tutorial and follow it.

Bootloop right ?

- turn back on the phone >>> Press power button home button same time - wait for a while till entering the recovery mode
after enter the recovery mode , try to clear data/cache or wipe data/cache
and reboot the phone
Hello guys, I have a big problem with my GT-I9001,
I have installed the clockworkmod and cyanogenmod by ivendor, (Alpha 7) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2000828
If I try to start my Galaxy it stuck's on the Splashscreen where I can see the Galaxy S Plus and the Cyanogenmod logo. After a few Minutes the screen goes of but you have to take the batterie out of the Handy to start it again.
If I try to boot into recoverymode, after the samsung logo the screen goes off, and again I have to take the batterie out.
At both Situations, if i touch the menu or return button it lights up, but not off anymore. At Situation 2 after a few Minutes.
The Download mode still works but if I try to Flash, for example with a Stock Firmware, it seems to go through with no problem, but instead of rebooting it only gets a blackscreen.
When i have flashed it and I start it the Splashscreen still has the Cyanogenmod logo on it, also if i flashed it with a Stockfirmware.
Another thing is, that if i try to charge my Smartphone, the normal shown batterie is stuck too.
Some people already mentioned the BroodRom, but on the download mode appears the Sentence: MMC boot: MBR read failed, and at Booting normaly is no change.
I tried to connect with adb to the Handy while it is on that black screen. It works, but if i try to enter: recovery --wipe_data, but in the cmd it only says: "/sbin/postrecoveryboot.sh not found" and nothing changed.
So this is the List of things that don't work or i already tried. I hope you guys will find a solution. If not i want to ask what Smartphone you would buy.
Problem found
I searched the whole net and i think i found the problem, It seems to be the memory controller.
I came to this because if i pushed something onto my Handy via adb it was there only till a restart. And some communities tell me, that the problem can be solved by exchanging the memory controller. But i don't think i can do that.
hello, i was using normally my phone. then it suddenly restarted itself. it just do that.. finish booting up i get into the home screen, i have time to unlock it, then it freeze up.. and 2 sec laters auto reboot...........
i tried enter in safe mode.. nothing happens
and well. im still waiting to get into recovery mode, it got 6 mins in the teamwin screen
what i can i do help
Sounds like a broken recovery. Reflash in odin
I got the same problem, flashed team w recovery, tried another kernel and still got this issue, it freeze, the screen turns a little white then reboot, WHAT CAUSE THIS? HELP!!
