Hey guys,
Last night I looked at my phone (which had been on charge for a while) and noticed that it was on the first S3 boot screen. So I assumed it had crashed and got stuck whilst rebooting, so I held the power button to reset it.
Problem is, it came back to the same screen, except this time the black background of the image was distorted - lots of red/green/blue dots on it. So I tried again, and it came back even worse... The third time, it settled on a completely distorted image and is now seemingly stuck like that.
The phone isn't booting, so far as I can tell. If I try to boot to recovery, I just see the same screen. If I boot into download mode, it actually works - the screen is no longer corrupt and it responds to button presses. (Although itnerestingly if I continue to hold Home + Vol Down + Power once the download screen appears, then it does distort).
I have tried plugging it into my PC. I don't see it as a MTP device (no suprises there), and ADB can't find it. It is however recognised by odin. I tried flashing a stock rom via odin, but it complained that there was no PIT found. (Which if I understand if something to do with the partitioning of the device.
Any ideas on how to solve this? Should I find a PIT image for my phone and flash that and the ROM together?
For background, my phone is a i9305 and was running paranoid android (4.2, IIRC).

That was why I was wondering about the PIT file.
I have also added some pictures (they're pretty low resolution, unfortunately). The first is what I see when I try to boot normally - lots of white and black bands (the yellow and purple you can see is just an artefact of my crappy webcam). The second image is download mode, where I continued to hold down the buttons after it loaded, causing it to reload with the corrupted image (again, this is a bit distorted by the webcam - the text and image aren't blurred).
no access to system and recovery,i doubt theonly way is download mode.just try an stock rom with pit files,agree that the issue have something to with the partition.if you have backup the whole system,even flash a new rom,youdata will be back easy and soon ,so nothing to worried and no way else to go,good luck.

As pit breaks more phones than it fixes its not recommended .
But your phone has no pit so you you have choices .
Warranty void so it would have to be a service repair .
Or you can try flashing a pit file yourself if it fails you will need to buy a new motherboard .
I´ve had the same Problem on my S1.
I Flashed a whole Package from Samsung Stock Firmware ( PIT MODEM PDA ) in Odin.
After that it worked again, i´ve needed some try´s but after that everythin was normal.

Do you mean specifically that you had the same error in odin, or that your S1 had the distorted screen too?
Well, I tried flashing the i9305 pit file and had no luck. The re-partitioning failed to start at all, so it didn't ruin the motherboard, at least.

Hi mate,
If you can't get in to Download Mode because of boot loop:
Try forcing it by holding all 3 buttons until it turns off, should come up.
Failing that, you can eBay Galaxy USB Jig that plugs in and forces Download Mode.
If you can get to Download Mode, I have written a solution to flash just the ROM.
You can read my solution by following the Link above your post
Have a great day!

Hi everybody!
This is my first posting here, I hope it's in the right category. I've used the search function, found similar problems but no one facing the same issue. I wanted to upgrade to Android 2.3.3 (2.3.4) using Odin. I tried three different Firmware releases but none worked. This is what happens in Odin:

<ID:0/006> zImage
I tried with and without repartition. Sometimes the process stops at the SetupConnection line, sometimes at zImage when obviously the kernel should be installed. When in download mode, I see a blue progress bar starting to move across the phone screen, but soon later the whole display turns green/blue/white (it always had a different color) with no more text. Hours later Odin finally displays a FAIL message.
I tried firmware versions I9000XXJVQ and I9000XXJVR from samfirmware.com with 512 PIT file. I recognized some Kies-Thread running in the background on my Win7 machine, which I killed to prevent any problems.
In another forum I was told this issue might be related to some lagfixes installing ext4. When I read that it came to my mind that I indeed had installed the voodoo lagfix in February - I had completely forgotten about that. However, is there a chance to recover the phone? Putting it into DL mode is the only thing that works. Any help is appreciated!
Can you go in recovery mode to disable the lagfix? and when you use the 3 part file always check re-partition.
Had similar problems with Windows 7 x64, 2 in 3 flashes would fail.
Try another pc if possible with Xp.

Well, I tried, but I did not succeed - (Hold Vol up + Power on) but I'll try again. Is it absolutely necessary to remove the lagfix? As mentioned before someone told me that ext4 might be causing those problems. However, I though the sd was repartitioned (when checkbox is ticked) and the firmware is a kind of disk image which is installed and thus overwrites the existing file system?

it's vol up + home button + power on, but don't release the button untill your are in the menu.
A stock firmware is made for RFS partition not ext4, i think it's that the problem, but i may be wrong.

Thank you all so far! Well, it almost worked - at least kind of. I tried it a couple of times, rebooted the PC, rebooted the phone, reinstalled drivers, used another USB port. After a couple of retries it stopped at "factoryfs.rfs" - which obviously contains the file system. This makes me guess that it does not matter which FS currently is installed as it gets overwritten by this factoryfs-thing. Please correct me if I am wrong!
Still, any help on this topic is gladly appreciated!
when you flash pda in odin the file system is over-written and reverts to rfs.
Try without re-partition ticked. Also after several attempts your battery may have no juice left in it: pull the battery, let it sit a couplce of minutes and then plug it in and see if it will re-charge -- may not, you might be stuck at download and odin.
Flash an older 2.2 firmware first: pda. phone and csc, don't bother with the pit file and don't bother with re-partition -- this is just to get you back and working, you can then charge the battery and update to jvr after.
Also check the thread on unbricking the phone -- most issues with flashing are recoverable, its just persistence.

Well, I tried to flash with and without repartition/pit-file. The download process hangs at different stages. I doubt it has to do with the battery, as the phone has been attached to the PC for almost three days now, I guess the battery is charged then...?

To which of the thousands of unbricking threads do you refer? I read something about a tool which puts the phone into recovery mode, from where I can format the sd. However, I can't get to recovery mode by pressing vol up, home + power, i just can enter download mode. I have tried various firmwares, neither did work...
Thanks for your help so far, maybe you can give me another hint on the thread you're talking about?
Try rebooting the phone,rebooting the pc,use a different usb cable(this part made it work for me), and try again. Hope it helps man cause i've been down that road and it sucked bricked my sgs 2 times but thankfully revived it because heimdall one click un-brick oh and 1 more thing if you use 3 files check re partition

Mate, try a full 3 file flash and a pc with Win XP 32-bit and ODIN 1.83
Worked for me
Good luck flashing !!
Thank you all guys, it worked - even though it was none of the tips provided here. I have no clue what the problem was, I moved to another PC, it took me three tries to flash the phone.
- The second PC was Win7 64bit as well.
- I used the original cable (tried with another one as well, no difference)
- I used just the drivers without any Kies installation.
- I used a SINGLE FILE FLASH with Android 2.2.1 first (which I was then unable to boot as it stuck with the S symbol during boot)
- Flashed 2.3.4 afterwards - worked.
My phone has never ever been running so smoothly before, even with lag fixes!
Unfortunately, my external SD makes troubles, but let's see how to fix that.
My note to all of you guys facing similar problems:
Some say, use PIT and repartition, some say, don't
Just don't care - for me it finally worked without (single file flash). Try all possibilities.
Some say, install Kies, just because of the drivers, some say, install the drivers without Kies
Just don't care - try either option, it might work - for me the drivers without Kies finally worked but I have no clue if that had any impact.
Some say, use another USB cable, some say use the original one
Just don't care - try different cables if possible, in my case there was no difference.
Some say, use the USB port closest to your MB, others say, try various USB ports
Just don't care - try different ports, the behavior cannot be reproduced, each try the flashing process got stuck at another stage - independent of the USB port used.
Some say, try another computer with another OS
Good choice - that made it working in my case. Even though the other machine was nearly the same with exactly the same OS installed. Also, I have successfully flashed my phone with the first one before.
Thanks guys, you're the best! And give Android 2.3.4 a try, it's FAST and SMOOTH!

but says its done after , but doesnt boot too
Pull out the battery and replace after 10 seconds, then try flashing different ROM using PC Odin. while flashing do not Tick Re-partition and do not attach pit file.
If he is flashing another ROM with PC Odin his counter will raise up and the yellow triangle will show up.
It can only be removed with a JIG.

So I used PC odin and tried to flash the KL3 ROM but was stuck at factoryfs.img. Tried LA5 too, but same situation. Kindly help.
I am from Pune, India.
I have received a GT-i8190 which is messed up.
When I start the phone, it says something went wrong with firmware upgrade, and that I need to try installing again.
Tried to install new firmware I8190DXALL3_I8190OLBALL4 using Odin3 v3.07.
Have followed the instructions with PDA only, no re-partition etc...
When I press start in Odin, Firmware update starts, and I can follow progress bar in Odin3 as well as on the phone.
Unfortunately, the process hangs when it tries to write STE_boot2.img, and after waiting a long time I get a write fail.
Have tried with other firmware versions, but each version eventually hangs somewhere (not always with STE_boot2.img). Below an extract of what I get from Odin3.
Any suggestions anyone?

Is your battery full, when you are trying to flash the firmwhere? Did you try another cable? Is your computer going to standby with some component or are you actively waiting moving the mouse cursor? If nothing helps, try to flash from another computer.

First system I used was Vista; battery was full. System does not go on standby.
Have tried on different system (windows 7) with different cable. Now Odin does not hang as it did on the vista system, but Odin crashes at the same moment it hung on the vista system, with the message: Odin Downloader stopped working.
Have tried with Odin3 V3.07 and V1.85
Any other suggestions?
Try with firmware from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2157105.
Download "I8190 серв. укр.rar". It's made out of service firmware with additional files not included in official firmware.:good:
If that won't do it, then take it to samsung.

Well, have used this service firmware following the instructions.
Everything went wel at firstl; could follow the progress in Odin, eventually the phone went down after 8 mins), I assumed for reboot but it did not restart.
Odin then finished stating everything passed (green), so disconnected the phone and tried to start up, unfortunately without success.
I thought that the battery was empty, but I have checked with another phone and it is still at 75%.
I guess the phone is now completely wasted, unless someone still has an idea to revive it?
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 ?

:crying:
I recently screwed up my S5 active and am desperate for help.
I only ever really occasionally screw with the OS, and I did a poor job of documenting what I did with this phone, so I will do my best to recollect exactly the state.
The phone is an AT&T Samsung Galaxy S5 active, model G870A
The recovery was some kind of robot icon that would show for maybe ~10 seconds at the start of boot (not a regular android, more square). I've tried searching for it to, as yet, no avail.
I'm fairly certain that the image I put on the device was KoolKit_S5_Active_V1.1.0.
I cannot recall if I used safestrap, towelroot, twrp, or some combination of these in order to get the above on the device. I have copies of each sitting in a folder I created for the phone.
The other day, SuperSU said it needed the binary updated. Me, being dumb, wanting the notification to go away, decided to appease it. It asked if I wanted to do so using recovery. I figured this would be easier, so I clicked "yes". And then my life got a lot more stressful.
When the phone boots now, it goes into ODIN mode and displays the message "android could not do normal boot. ODIN MODE".
I cannot get it to any other screen. Recovery, download mode, whatever. (I'm pretty sure this is download mode, but I cannot initiate any mode, it just goes into this).
I've been poking around on these forums. The first suggestion I thought might work was to use ODIN to (re?) flash towelroot. Or TWRP. I forget which one I tried, but it wound up resulting in a failure in ODIN, and a message on the screen stating something along the lines of "sys rev check fail no version".
I am very confused about what I need to be flashing using ODIN, but I have managed to cobble together that it has to be through ODIN.
I don't necessarily need links, I can find those, and I may already have the files. I'd really like to know which files it is that I need.
Do I need a firmware? What is the file format for that? tar.md5? etc.
Ideally I'd just like to get back to a regular run mode where my worst problem was a wonky USB port. I would deeply appreciate it if anyone could get me in that direction.
Thank you
It's working.
I plugged it in, tried to flash a PIT file. That failed. Apparently one does not flash those alone.
The screen said something like "check failed : PIT" ...
I went here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2799754
Followed the instructions. Got a failure. (This was, stupidly and fortunately, without restarting phone after pit failure).
Phone rebooted like nothing was ever wrong.

Im glad you could fix it.
I also have a problem with a AT&T S5 active, the phone has horrible screen lag (even the booting screen is slow)
I tried doing a factory reset and also doing a downgrade to kit-kat using Odin, but the problem persists
