Please help with phone not booting - Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help &

Hey guys. Been around for a while and have never encounted this problem. I went to restore back to stock firmware after running a custom rom.. both 4.3... I added the firmware to odin. It failed before it started and rebooted th phone. Figured out that the firmware I downloaded must of been corrupt/incompletly downloaded.. stuck on samsung boot logo.. tried to restore a fresh complete rom but still stuck on boot logo.. is there something I can do to fix it other than sen it in.

You don't mention recovery .
Usual would be to format sdcard system data cache boot to download mode and flash stock rom .

Yeah i have done all that

After install, try pulling the battery during boot then boot into stock recovery and do a factory reset/data wipe.
Has worked for some

the sdcard is not the problem,, i have corrupted the partitions i think,, altho flashing firmware with odin works fine, it just doesnt boot

really wish I could afford to get this phone fixed I miss this phone and have gone back to an old crappy galaxy ace

Please URGENT

Hello i have a big problem..
There was a problem with a custom rom that i flashed and when i was connecting the phone to the pc it was taking too long to show me my internal memory etc. So i decided to do a clean flash from odin by flashing an original firmware for i9305.. The phone then stuck to the samsung logo! I reflash it but still the same. I even use re-partion and stills it reboots and stays at samsung logo screen i dont know what else to do?

lucky for me i flashed the recovery and i had atmy internal memory an old rom.. i flash it and the phone is working now thank god.. but i can understand why it did that.. i will not be able to flash an original firmware? and btw is still slow.. i connect it to pcamd takes time to open the internal memory and external..but at least it works
I have this problem when flashing through odin. Battery pull reset data clear cache always does the trick. I usually have to put back into download mode and then restart device from there. Worth trying.

Cool!
Did you try to factory reset / wipe cache? That solved some problems for me real well.

You can try and flash stock firmware

Stock reflash or nandroid backup
You won't be able to get out of boot loop
When deleting something with file manager I think

And i wonder what that will do?
Coz when we flash stock firmware it wipes everything so what's the use of creating nandroid backup?

After flashing with stockie...put up clockwork mode and restore your system to what was before

Hey. I dont think externel will get wiped out while flashing with stock. Even if it does you can make one backup of your externel sd card .

He is right! Ext don't get deleted and u can root, unlock, flash cwm and restore your device.... I think you need to get your facts straight (and even if it would get erased, just pull the ext memory out of the phone before flashing stock?!)

Unfortunatelly, process.media screwed my deal

Hi guys,
so I was trying to sell my SGS i9000 and I failed. Why? Because I kept getting 'Unfortunately, the process android.process.media has stopped'. I tried everything I could find, clearing particular caches, wiping overall cache and dalvik, factory reset, even reflashed the ROM. Nothing has changed.
I believe it has something to do with the thing that I had accidentaly deleted 'media' folder (actually, cut it and pasted on the desktop, so I copied it back right away). Now the gallery doesn't work, the camera just as well and overall system can't boot every time. (If I press and hold the power button, it starts booting and gets stuck at Slim logo, but when I take the battery out after getting stuck, it boots just fine).
Are there any other solutions?
I'm on Slim Bean official build 7. Not sure which Sema kernel they've used, because I can't download or install anything as well.

I always format system before flashing, and yes, flashing stock firmware via odin helped, but I got bricked on the first try which scared the crap out of me.

It called bootloop. Try to enter recovery mode by hold all physical button. Wipe data, clear dalvic cache then reboot. If the problem persist then try to reflash the ROM.
