Hi ... Try to follow some of the following tutorial. Supposedly downgrade is the best solution. Do not forget to check the "repartition" when did it to GB.
To 8GB & To 16GB Hope can help.
If you still have trouble. Try asking two seniors: @R_a_z_v_a_n & @shut_down

I read and do step by step on tutorial but the problem continues

Are you still able to enter Recovery mode (the default)? But first try to remove the external memory card is yours. Then try enter recovery mode. If successful, try to do wipe all through recovery. Then try to flash the stock rom. Good luck.

I don't have sd card, and I remove sim card. I put on download mode but only method downgrade GB freezes on ''flash kernel'', when I try flash another kernel GB odin fails ( on version 3.10 odin, I use to apply downgrade on odin 1.85). I flash italy firmware 4.1.2 and take a long time to finish (16,02- 20 min) and no results, the message and problem continues.

I see some coments about this issue. Some people says is problem with partition and needs full firmware (Phone,CSC,PDA,Bootloader etc) I try search for full firmware for S advance but only full firmware I saw is GB (process downgrade) and get no progress with this method. I need full firmware based JB,maybe can works. Please someone send me full firmware based JB please.

which bootloader do you have ? 4.1.2 recovery/bootloder or 2.3 one ?
(2.3 one use home button for enter command while 4.1.2 one use power button for enter command...2.3 one is orange in recover while 4.1.2 one is blue )
you can get full firmwere here... http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/GT-I9070/INU/ (you can change country )
if you have 4.1.2 bootloader then download 4.1.2 firmwere form above site and flash it with your PIT file ( if you have 16Gb mode use 16Gb pit file directly ) put firmware in PDA section.
if you have 2.3 boot loader use 2.3 firmwere from above site and follow the same ( if it has only one file )

Still problem with booting
I have tried to flash many different firmwares. ODIN says green but the phone does not boot. Just the first logo or Samsung with some animation.. than it gets stuck there. ADB does not work then either.
I have tried to root and wipe data with different ODIN, but nothing helped. TWRP is not present on "download mode" either..
On ODIN3 v3.07 I see there there is a tickbox for "NAND ERASE ALL" but when I have it checked it fails or hands on erase state.
Could you please help me what I can do next?
I would like to have complete firmware and root and install TWRP etc. but I need to get booting up ok. I have already 15 on "custome binory download"

Maybe the downloaded file is corrupted..Try flashing another baseband FW and check it.
For flashing kernels theres a SAFE AND FREE app

Install this app and open it
Select the md5 or bin files from it and flash them and restart.
There you go...its done
I dont know about downgrading to GB..never tried and not gonna try it
MY JB is awesome:highfive:

You can't enter recovery after flashing original fw via odin? Try taking out battery, put it back in and force recovery. Press it for a long time till it enter recovery. Then factory reset. I encountered this once on galaxy ace, endless bootloop and can't enter recovery but download is okay. Then I pressed the buttton until it somehow got into recovery. I don't know if this works but you can try though.

We do not have any JB custom kernel that is flahsable with Odin. So I suppose you flashed GB custom kernel on JB, that is your problem. Flash whole STOCK JB FW again. After that use ONLY JB kernels. CoCore 6.x for example. Only one not abandoned from updates for now.
Do this again with JB, step by step: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2086965
And kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2140597
Unzip it, put it on SD card, install Frapeti's universal kernel flasher. Install some ROOT explorer, this app needs it to work. Use it to install kernel.

Problem my phone is stuck on download mode.

Any help would be amazing.
Well search would help ..
You say you are stuck on download mode .
As in download mode does screen not move unable to boot to recovery unable to power off .
Read the CFauto root instructions in full

I did and didnt find anything helpfull for my situation.
Also tried to root again but again its stuck on downloading... do not turn off target screen.
Boot to download mode and it says as it should Downloading do not turn off .
You are now supposed to flash the firmware via odin .
You should flash your stock firmware to get the phone working .
Then read the basic faqs and guides before you flash anything as its pointless flashing without reading the basics .
Or take it to a service centre .

Thanks for the reply ill consider doing that
but before i try that i managed to get into recovery mode does that mean i can try something or should i try the odin flash thing?

Clear data and cache then reboot you may not have to reflash the rom. if that doesnt work tha use odin to flash stock rom. good luck

Is there a way to know my version/pda since i have no idea what stock rom to download
Device model no. in recovery mode
Hi,
Sorry to ask a random question. I Have my device model no. as S3 I9305 when I go to download mode and in my phone settings I can see my device model as S3 I9305T. I have recently installed Australian official firmware(XSA version without any career bloatware) in my phone, which is the S3 I9305T. I found it weird to have two different model nos. in 2 different places. When I first bought this phone it was the Telstra version, which is S3 I9305T. After that I changed many firmwares and installed S3 I9305 version from optus and other country's S3 I9305 version as well. Could you please tell me why is that?? Is this because I once installed I9305 firmware once? If that's the reason, today I flashed I9305T official firmware again with Odin. Is there any way to reset the download mode as well?? Please reply. Thanks.

Not unless you know what it is or saved the original .
You can just pick a stock rom for your area/ network .
If you bothered to read the basics their would be no need for all this ratting about .
@JJEgan I need some help, Ive got device, with same problem (i9305)
the donwload mode (which it defult boots into) does not show any device infos (which normally shows on the upper left corner)
Ive tried flashing latest stock rom (4.3) it gives an error (NOT "error pit file partition" but error flashing. failed it does not go beyond sboot )

So you run odin in windows.
Boot your phone to download mode
Connect device and wait for confirmation of connection in odin.
And then you click pda and choose a stock firmware.
And click start.
@tissot Odin gives fail error as I stated before. Am going to try 3 part odin package ive downloaded,.

[Q]Bootloop & No recovery Mode

Hello everyone ! I have a samsung galaxy s3 mini i8190
I flash CM , but i didn't like it so i tried to install with odin the original firmware.
Problem: Bootloop (logo Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini reboot infinite loop)
I can't enter in Recovery Mode, only i can enter in Download Mode
I use ODIN to try to install CWM , but still don't work..
And i have another problem. When I click start (in odin) it stops at SetupConnection, but if I disconnect & reconnect (usb) it starts flashing.
Please, help me.
Try to flash stock recovery instead of CWM.

"I use ODIN to try to install CWM , but still don't work.."
I said this in the thread. If i'm wrong, please correct me.
Your kernel is f****ed up. You need to find any rooted stock kernel, flash it with Odin and then flash CWM. You don't need whole ROM, only kernel. Happened to me a lot while I was still on SGS1.
As for connection problem, perhaps clearing all drivers from your win and reinstall them could help.

Yes you did, but I asked you to try with STOCK RECOVERY instead.
It's not always a part of the official firmware package.

What if my device cant be recognised by my pc. Ive tried every pc/laptop I own with different OS. So basically I have a bootloop stuck phone with no recovery mode available and it doesnt connect to the pc. Is there any way to fix that? Or is the phone completely bricked and I cant do anything about it.
PS: I have tried installing latest samsung drivers on my pc but it still cant recognise the phone.
Have had this phone for 6 years and it was ****ing amazing. I missed this little guy and want to fix him just as a "souvenir" since it was my first ever smartphone.

[Q] [Help] yellow triangle - cant enter download/recover mode

Hi all,
Yesterday I downgraded my Jellybean to Gingerbread firmware by using this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2100642.
The downgrade was a succes, everything worked fine.
The final step of the tutorial siad: 'Note : You can flash Latest Update for your Country by Odin3 v3.07 ( Optional )'. So I searched for the stock firmware of my country and used Odin v3.07 to update. Now at this point the upgrade failed (NAND Write Start) and I get the 'yellow triangle' sign with the message: Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.
I can't get in download or recovery mode.
Odin still connects to my phone.
My question is how can I get my Android back to work :s
Thanks in advance,
