[Q] Distorted screen + won't boot

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!

[Q] Can't Flash S3 (GT-I9305)

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:

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!

Tried to root 5.0.2 with 5.1.1 guide - softbricked it [SOLVED]

Hello!
Ok, I'll admit I didn't read closely enough in my haste to root my new phone, and now it's softbricked. My phone was brand new and still on the 5.0.2 firmware, and I tried to follow the guide at link here on XDA before updating to 5.1.1. After flashing the sboot.bin, it rebooted, but stuck at the Samsung logo screen with some green text at the top of the screen:
ASV TBL VER = 15
ASV TBL VER2 = 1285
ASV big:10 LITTLE:10 630:11 MIF:10 INT:10 CAM_DISP:10 (I think that's right, it's very tiny!)
I've been stuck there ever since! I can get into download mode, but that's it.
I'm not sure what to do now. I've tried reflashing the sboot.bin file, and I've tried flashing the 5.1.1 stock (COF8) ROM (which fails!)
Am I correct in thinking that the sboot.bin file will only boot 5.1.1 roms? If so, how do I get the ROM flashed if ODIN won't do it?
Any help will be greatly appreciated!

I've been thinking about this problem, and I've come up with two options. Either flash back to the original boot loader, kernel, etc. Or somehow get a stock 5.1 ROM to flash.
Any thoughts?

SOLVED!
So for anyone else who finds yourself in this foolish situation, here is what worked *for me*.
The problem:
The newer sboot.bin wouldn't allow an older Android version to boot, and I couldn't Odin the newer COF6 or COF8 firmware.
The solution:
I downloaded and unzipped (technically un-tarred) the *STOCK COF8* firmware from Samsung (sammobile.com)
-To do that rename the file by removing the ".md5" extension. Yes Windows, we really do want to change the extension.
-If you don't have a program that recognizes the ".tar" extension, download PeaZip and install it - it's open source & awesome!
-Re-tar all of the files there *EXCEPT* for the sboot.bin.
-Boot into recovery as before, and open Odin - you should be a pro at this by now!
-Click the AP button and select the re-tarred stock firmware, and flash.
-Odin fails after a few files, but this is ok.
-Reboot and you should get a "failed update" error instead of the Samsung logo.
-Now Odin the *STOCK COF6* firmware
-Watch and thank God as it succeeds,and reboots ...normally
-Be patient, it still needs to update Android.
-Decide just how badly you need ROOT.....

Scratch that. I used PeaZip instead of WinRar or 7Zip. I didn't name it tar.md5, flashed and it's booting up now. We'll see if it works.
How did you get the new tarball file you made to pass the MD5 check? I can't get past that check when I make a new .tar file or tar.md5.

Errors with ATT S5 Active

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:

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

Cannot flash anything through Odin

So here's my problem. I bought my Note 4 (SM-N910T3) with 5.1.1 and rooted. As soon as 6.0.1 released, I downloaded and flashed and then rooted a little later. I started having some small issues because of the root so I did some research and found a systemless root method on XDA that was a possible solution. At some point, probably from flashing MM, my Baseband and Bootloader got updated to the newest at the time. That was fine at the time but I starting missing some of the features of 5.1.1 that got removed in the update. So now I'm looking at iB4STiD's Rapture ROM which is build upon stock 5.1.1 but I've hit a pretty major wall. No matter what I try, how many times, I cannot flash anything through Odin, besides 6.0.1 that I haven't tried. iB4STiD provides the Baseband and Bootloader files to flash with his ROM which are for my specific model.
Now, I've read in a couple places that you can't downgrade your bootloader but that sounds weird to me so maybe someone can explain more if that's correct. Now for some info:

Yep I tried 4 different cables and different ports, including 2 OEM samsung cables that came from my Note 4 and an older phone. Nothing.

You can't downgrade T3 via ODIN once you upgrade to MM. So basically you are stuck with latest bootloader.

Yea that's what I was afraid of. My next issue though is I can't seem to flash ANYTHING via Odin. I even tried a stock rom that matched my current bootloader and it gave me the same error.

Use PhoneInfo application from Playstor to check your exact bootloader version and post it here. The error from your 1st post shows only when you try to downgrade.

I believe I've got the same problem (N910T, I tried to downgrade to 5.1.1 so that I can install Rapture v8.2), except in Odin it stops at system.img.ext4 then fails. I tried restoring with my backup through TWRP but now it's giving me this:
extractTarFork() process ended with ERROR=255
Basically I'm stuck with Odin and TWRP, I have the 5.1.1 firmware which doesn't work, and I'm currently downloading the 6.0.1 firmware and hopefully I'll be able to get it working again after this 2.2GB file finishes downloading with my 10mb/s internet -.-
