[Q] HELP! Phone, CSC, IMEI: UNKNOWN - Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help &

Hi. I have a very strange problem with my i9305... About 2 days ago I was waken up by the boot sound of my device and since then it was stuck in bootloop. It was not connected to Wifi or cellular data and this seemed very strange. So I booted into philz recovery and tried to factory reset, but no success, when it got to /data partition it rebooted immediately, so I figured I should try to format only that, but it rebooted every time I tried that.. I even tried to restore my rom backup and the result was the same. Went to advanced > show log and got "I:cannot load /data". Installed latest philz and then got "I:cannot load /misc". Switched to TWRP recovery and finally managed to format /data. Switched back to philz and managed to restore backup but in advanced > show log got "I:cannot load /misc"... After restore rom boots fine, but I get a transparent popup with the following:
Phone: Unknown
CSC: Unknown
IMEI: Unknown
Camera doesn't work anymore but Wifi does..
What should I do ?
Tried to flash original latest firmware with Odin but I get error:

Sorry to hear your problem. I lost IMEI after flashing but was lucky enough to be able to use the Param Bin solution. I hope someone with greater skill can advise you. Goodluck.

used odin 3.09 and kk firmware from samsung website?
"About 2 days ago I was waken up by the boot sound of my device and since then it was stuck in bootloop" - looks like a hardware problem to me

for better support of ur problem post it on Sammobile.com in forum section of S3..
u will hv better nd quick response there

Thanks guys, fortunately I did efs backup a while ago and managed to get my phone back in business
Flashed official KK from Samsung then philz and then restored efs backup and later on restored rom backup and now it's like I didn't have the problem. Hope it won't come back.. Thanks again!

Doesn't switch on after flashing HELP NEEDED

Hi,
my girlfriend just came back from China with a P1000 from her friend. As the whole device was running on chinese language and for some strange reason it was not possible to enter System Setting to change the language, I decided to flash her the latest firmware and just make a fresh start. (i'm a flash veteran on my SGS since 2 years, so I know how to use Odin)
I downloaded the P1000XWJQ8 from Sammobile, fired up Odin and flashed the new ROM with repartition enabled.
The procedure went through without errors:

At the end of it the device didn't auto-boot as expected, it just stayed there with a black screen!!!!!!
Disconnecting and reconnecting it triggers in Odin the REMOVED and the ADDED lines but nothing happens.
I cannot switch on, cannot go into download nor recovery, the device just seems to stay dead :-(
My next idea was trying to pull the battery but apparently the battery is glued to the casing, so before I do more damage, I better start asking here.
Hope someone can help, my girlfriend will kill me if I can't repair this damn thing...
EDIT: after having closed Odin on the PC I tried to connect the device again and it started to play the startup song and Win7 started to install the new drivers from the new firmware. 7 out of 9 found drivers installed correctly, 2 instead failed.
But nothing changed to the vegetarian state of the P1000
EDIT 2: now, after 12 hours wait, the device doesn't do anything anymore when I connect it to the PC, no USB connect, no sign of adding it in Odin. It seems like the charging mechanism doesn't work anymore either. The deivce appears totally dead.
Did you see my thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1769144? This problem is totally the same as mine.
Is yours rooted? Coz it says here http://www.teamovercome.net/p1000/?page_id=17 that :
[REQUIRED FOR FROYO-BASED TABS ONLY:] Your Tab must be rooted. (Please look for SuperOneClick root method as it’s usually the safe bet! But for more information on rooting, please refer here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=812367)

[Q] Upgraded to Jellybean, phone dies on boot.

Hi
I did an OTA update to Jellybean yesterday which Three (3) put out and it all went smoothly. I was making a phone call today and the phone suddenly died. Now every time I turn it back on it loads and stays on for about 30 seconds at which point it dies again.
I've tried it with/without charger and SD card but it's the same result each time. Tried using Kies to re-install the firmware but the phone doesn't stay on long enough for me to.
Is there anything I can try before giving it to Three for a month?
Thanks.
Download a stock firmware from sammobile and flash it using odin

Maybe when u did the update, the file was corrupted. This could be happened if your internet connection was not stable.
So, to make sure u get the right update. Just download it from sammobile...u can find the right rom for your region...there.
After the download completed, just install it through odin. U can find how to use odin from internet. Just google it

Unfortunately it still dies on boot. I'm thinking it could possibly be the battery?
Just to let you know I got a new battery and the phone is now fine.
Thanks for the help.

[Q] Odin wont flash back to stock

Hello people.
This started couble of weeks ago when my phone suddendly went to factory mode. it wasent rooted and i was running 4.3 so i took it to the repair center. They told me that the phones circuit board needed to be replaced and it would cost 281€. Since the same phone new was only 299€ i declined their repair. then i went on a search for way to repair the phone my self. I wound some ways but they needed a root acces. So i tried to downgrade my phone back to 4.1.2 but for some reason Odin started to give me this error...

And then when i restarted my phone it keeps giving me yet another error saying that "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in Kies & try again. In kies the phone wont connect to it. it just keeps loading. Now im asking for some help if some1 has an idea or a way to fix this.
I can give more info if needed.
it fails cause you are trying to flash 4.1.2...once you got 4.3 you can't go back...i'm guessing that you get that error when it tries to install the old bootloader(without knox counter)....

Odin firmware flashing always fails

I have a Galaxy note 10.1 running kitkat 4.4.2 (GT-N8000)
Yesterday i was browsing the internet when suddenly the device decided to shut down and went on a restart boot loop where it would show the "Samsung galaxy note 10.1" screen for a while and then reboot and re-show the same screen
i have tried entering recovery mode but the tablet keeps restarting without end the only thing i can access is download mode
So recently i tried flashing using Odin but when ever i try to flash any file it shows this error

I have tried flashing a stock recovery so i can try and wipe the current data
I have tried to download multiple stock roms from jelly bean to kitkat which all ended up failing
I have tried flashing the tablet with a "Repair rom" which contains the BL AP CSC and Modem files
i think that if i can still access the download mode that there is some hope to recover?
Any solutions?
Thanks in advance.
If i posted this in the wrong section forgive me i have just started out

Freezing on the splash screen logo

Hello, I have a big problem with my I9305, which had stock rom 4.4.4 XEO and root. The phone has been resetting on its own from time to time. Now the phone is dead, it freezes on the splash screen logo. Installing new room via Odin and DM doesn't work:

Might be a corrupt nand, if that so, you will need to replace the board...sorry for bad news, maybe other member can have a different opinion.
Any options to make backup of SMS?

I don't think so, a corrupt NAND corrupts it all, i don't think you can boot anything on the phone anymore, however, a user here in XDA was able to use a memory card as a complete NAND and he even flashed a ROM and booted fine,but he was a skilled one, i don't know how he did it.
But he lost all data of course, so even if you did what he did, you won't get your SMSs.
