What happened and what makes you think it's a PIT problem? Repartitioning a phone should always be the last option.

I've tried Philz, CWM and TWRP(which i normally use) the same problem with all recoveries.
what recovery are you using?
try flashing with odin 3.09 twrp 2.8.5.0 official .tar file.
then try any custom rom.
if your partition table would be messed up i belive your phone would be bricked.

You may take a look here (without any warranties):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...fo-i9305-pit-file-flash-analysis-pit-t1950591
From my perspective: If you are still able to flash a working stock rom then the partition table most likely is ok.
Tried that. Didn't help. When I flash a ROM i check /system and it's empty. No matter what ROM, no matter which recovery
I don't think it's the PIT now. /system seems to be read only. How do I change the permissions via ADB?

Just wanted to say: I have the same issue now. It's not that critical as I have long moved on from this phone and only experiment, but same behavior here. Have tried many things to no avail (recoveries, ROMs, stock firmwares, etc.).

Recoveries: PhilZ, CWM, TWRP
Custom ROMS: well amost all there are...
Stock ROM
Tried repartitioning with PIT
Erasing NAND
I checked the permissions on /system and they are as they should be
I fixed it (not really sure how) ... i ran stock for a while and decided to try again. This time with CWM. Now all is good and i'm back on NAMELESS :good:

1. Flashed 4.4.4 nordic version of stock (I9305XXUFNL1_I9305DNFFOB1_I9305XXUFOA1) in ODIN, and let it complete with its setup-wizards and so forth
2. Flashed clockworkmod for i9305 (v. 6.0.4.5) via ODIN
3. I flashed nameless nightly 09.07.2015 in cwm and booted it (without gapps)
4. Rebooted back to recovery and installed tk-gapps.
5. Well everything works
BUT before i did that i did all kinds of stuff, like repartitioning with a PIT file and erased NAND in ODIN.
Not sure if the repartitioning and NAND erasure had anything to do with the success.
I still get the "unmount of /system failed no such volume" when flashing in CWM. But the difference between before and now, is that it actually puts stuff in the /system dir It didn't before. I'm too scared now to change the recovery, although i prefer TWRP. So i'll let CWM be.

After reboot if i go in app manager, i can see ALL the apps i installed previously, all 0,00O in grey and with name like "com.antek.am" etc... What the hell?!

Try clearing cache,dalvik cache and finally do a factory reset and see if it is gone.It may be caused by the leftovers in /data partition.It must probably resolve your problem.My advice is (thought ketan said it to me first) after flashing any rom its better to do a factory reset and clear cache.You can do it in recovery
I solved it just after posting this by factory reset, thanks anyway. I knew about cache, i did wipe, but i didn't thought of factory reset (and still don't understand that well).

Factory reset wipes /data partition which contains the apps and its data downloaded from market/internet.It also wipes your settings data and restore every thing to factory default.Just explained this because you said still don't understand that well.Good to hear you solved your issue on your own
Yes, thanks. If i don't want to keep my mobile and return it for refund (i still have few days) and if flash with the firmware it came with it, modified kernel i installed will be replaced by original (it's in the firmware) and so they'll accept it as return, right?
Yes. Just flash your stock Rom via PC Odin, and everything will be back the way it was when you purchased your phone.
Why ODIN desktop and not mobile? Without everoot, cwm and else... Of course!
If u flash any stock ROM via Mobile Odin or CWM, The CWM Recovery will not be flashed and it remains as it is. So you have to flash using PC Odin to get Stock recovery too.

That's exactly why i talked about using mobile instead. But apparently won't flash cwm, can't do it in any way with mobile version? Last thing: As of now, i tried only stock roms. Can i try custom (ICS of course..) installing it by ODIN MOBILE and not wiping (it's just for test), then flash stock later, everything will still be back in its place like original, they won't know i used custom rom, right?

Yes certainly you can try custom roms bruh!! However all the ICS Roms demand everyday high maintenance so IMO installing a GB rom will be a sane option as if now, even if you just want to test that....
If u want a suggestion then go with rocket rom gb v22 my personal favorite however all the other gb roms are stable and can ne used on daily basis.
Peace

This can be achieved easily!! You have to Install Chainfire's Repack via Mobile Odin then install "Triangle Away" App to remove yellow Triangle on Start up. Then flash again the stock firmware using PC Odin.
It is confirmed work!!
This was just an skeletal overview for indepth steps please refer to the corresponding threads!!

Thanks for the answer, i already have Odin Mobile and always flashed with it, so no triangle. Chainfire repack, i should install that only if i wanna try ICS, right?

Flashing stock kernal doesnt give triangle in any way.I would suggest you not to use ICS leak rom as many suffered from not able to go back to stock after that.As of now I know only 1 developer has recovered his note after struggling for nearly 10 hours.So stay away from it.I dont know about other ICS roms.But its better to stay with GB now.
if you are planning to return it, then do not try ICS. the leak is not for Note and this caused many users (of Note and Epic 4 touch) issues like a fried flash drive. All the GB custom ROMs are pretty much stable.
I'm about to start. I have "Odin3 v1.85" that's the right one? I already have the KKA firmware md5 file, i put it in phone or pda? What should i put in CSC & other case? And where do i get the right files?

Hello fellas. I know you don't like these kind of posts and I agree you're right but I'm completely lost. That's why i'm making this post.
I just installed official 4.1.2 stock rom and it says N7000WELSA rom.
I want to root this. I used "PhilZ-cwm6-UBLSF-UBB-4.87.6" kernel to root that. But after i flashed that nothing happened. Can you guys give me a light on the topic? I'm really new to that stuff and can't see my way out here... Thank you !

If you have used odin to install philz kernel, it will not root. You need to flash the zip version. Or use the supersu.zip file from the following post.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360
You should now have Cwm recovery. So either flash a zip version of philz kernel or supersu
To get into recovery, use Vol up + power + home

As you are using LSA rom, shouldn't you be using the LSA Philz kernel? For the next time, just flash the zip version in stock recovery and you will get all at once. Root + CWM recovery + Safe kernel.
I don't think it's the rom he's mentioning. It s the baseband for new lsz of a different region.
Do i have to have an External SD Card to use this method ?
now no as you should already have cwm since you pushed philz tar

My last question; Is there a way to format the phone to a state that is just just unboxed? Empty sd card. No programs. Everything clear. My battery is running out real quick and the phone started to slow down a bit. It kinda laggs... And when i flashed the rom it just upgraded the OS. Everything is still the same. Widgets , apps... they are all staying.
??? i dont fully understand. you want to revert to ICS?
No no. I wanna keep JB. But this flashing just upgraded the OS. No files were deleted or so. I just wanna completely format everything on the phone.
yes cuz its a non wipe rom.. boot into philz recovery and wipe data
Thanks again. It did work out. Well i tried to format usb storage using settings>storage> Format USB Storage. But nothing happens and it doesn't format it. Is there any other way ?
Yah. Connect to pc and delete.
Is it safe to select all and delete via computer ?
yes
Hi
I have a p7320 which I am trying to install a custom ROM to, and I am having some trouble.
I used this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1569122
1: flashed cwd through odin
2: flashed superuser through cwm
All fine until now
3: then I flashed the kernel from the same site through cwm
4: bootloop
I didnt take backup, so I couldnt nandroid back
I couldnt turn the device on, so I couldnt transfer another kernel
There were no "mount USB" in cwm so I couldnt transfer the files there either.
I was able to go into download mode, and I flashed the only stock rom I could find in .tar (flashable through odin)
from here: http://androidromupdate.com/2012/12/12/u-s-att-samsung-galaxy-tab-8-9-lte-sgh-i957-android-4-0-4-ice-cream-sandwich-update-finally-arrives/
flashing went fine and the tab booted.
Now I went back and flashed cwm again through odin, but when I was going to place superuser and the new rom on the sdcard.... there is no room on the tab.
In explorer it says : 0 byte available out of 26.9MB
This tab is 16GB.... what happened?
I cant transfer files to it, so the only thing I can flash is the .tar files through odin.
please help

Hmmm, this is usually a sdcard mount thing
so maybe all you have to do is reboot to CWM do a format /sdcard from mount and unmount section in CWM
then reboot to system and see if the problem still there

this probably means that your CWM version is old [5.5.0.4 I guess]
I don't know if your tab has a newer CWM cuz my tab is p7300,
so try to find a newer one or even try TWRP instead, cuz it also has sdcard format function
one little thing, you said your tab is P7320 and yet you have installed a SGH-I957 ROM {read it from your link}
I honestly don't know the deference between the two devices
what I'm trying to say is: maybe the problem is because you're using a ROM for a different device
so maybe you should try THIS [the latest ICS Odin tar samsung framework for P7320]
I have a p7320 and I am using this ROM.

Worked out fine, and the memory of the SD card is back.
However... I once again flashed cwm and superuser, then i tried the rom you are linking to but the tab wont boot with it
Its just stuck with a black screen after the logo.
Now I have reflashed the stock rom with working sd card
Sorry about that. I remember I had a black screen for a few minutes but eventually it booted. The developer also pointed out boot animations are missing

Hi,
I'm the developer working on the CM10 ROM for the P7320 - yes, the first boot might take a while, and it doesn't show a boot animation, so it might look like it's crashed. But I have tested going from the stock ICS image to my ROM a few times and it seems to work fine, eventually. Perhaps you could give it another go and see?
Cheers.

Can i flash superuser, your rom and gapps in one go? Or do I have to boot it in between?

The ROM should have super user already, so you shouldn't need that. You can do the ROM and gapps together.

Flashing stock firmware with Odin will not delete your data from SD card. You will probably need to do factory reset, it will delete your contacts, sms, apps... But stuff from internal and external sd will remain there.
You bricked it because 4.4.2 uses preload partition for a swap, and it is partitioned in different way. And on PA 3.69 is probably different.
Or ROM zip of PA was corrupted.
thankyou and one more question

You can't brick phone with clearing cache. Did you wipe system partition? Try to install same ROM that you had (if you had).
Give us a screenshot of Odin fail. What exactly happen. And what is the full name of md5 that you put in pda of Odin. Try different version of Odin too.

Go back to recovery, and if you have ROMs zip install it again.
Ofcourse you shouldn't wipe system partition, system files are there...
And if you can't install ROM again, what error do you get in Odin?

Anyways, That's the issue. I can't go to recovery. Phone only shows the odin mode (if i press VOL. DOWN+HOME+POWER).
Odin simply says FAILS.

Well then you did not just wipe system, you installed some GB based ROM over?
You have log window in Odin, where it fails? Try to redownlaod firmware again, and then install again.
What version of Odin do you use? Try 3.x.

Odin Version - 3.07
I'm not sure it s GB based ROM and neither if it's JB. Can you take some more pain 'n send me a proper link ? please.
My older custom ROM is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2244441 - http://d-h.st/vge

Check the file zize of zip when you download it, it should be 425MB.

ROM is fine. And you was on GB or JB before? If you was on GB then this problem you got is normal. You must be on JB (flash JB firmware) if you install JB ROM.
And again, if you get FAIL on Odin DO A SCREENSHOT AND POST IT HERE. To see what cause that fail. Left part of this screenshot is a log http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-gkWcapOu2...gingerbread+s5570jpq8+samsung+galaxy+Mini.jpg
Blue, where it says Message.
This is for other phone, do not pay attention on that, I just told you what I need to see.

And no, you must install Firmware not, not ROM. Because you probably installed JB ROM over GB. That is why you do not have working recovery.
Finally unbricked !!!

I am only just new and have been playing around with this custom rom stuff for a short while now, I have ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.4.7 on my I9305T. I have tried a few different Roms so far but they don't work. I tried just today "RevolutionaryS5-V3" it obviously went through the installation process but did not boot into it, just came up with the samsung default ( samsung S III GT- I9305T ) logo in white. It disappeared then came back looping that way.
So now I have went into the "Advanced Menu" and then "show log" I don't know if this will help you but, it displayed this:-

The roms I have downloaded are:- aicp_i9305_lp-10.0-RELEASE-20150708 (this one looped its boot logo), cm-11-20150907-NIGHTLY-i9305 (i have the recovery .img for this), cm-12.1-20150926-NIGHTLY-dogo (i have the recovery .img for this), FlashingDroid_S5_v2.2 and RevolutionaryS5-V3, if these roms are any good for my I9305T, Can anyone give me some advise on what or how to install these roms.

Something went wrong while flashing rom or maybe the rom data is corrupt.
Bootloop means your device fails to boot if system data is corrupt by flashing rom
You had soft brick.
Reboot into recovery and restore the stock rom if you had nandroid backup.

RevolutionaryS5-V3? that one is not for the i9305 unless i have missed a thread for it. The roms for your phone can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/development-i9305
but as stated flash stock rom again, flash custom recovery and then choose the rom for your phone
Hey Piyush,
Initially I did try do a Backup using Titanium Backup app, first try I think there wasn't enough room on the internal HDD, so I tried on the external HDD which I thought had done so.. So when I came to this problem, the backup did not work.
Now at first before I rooted the phone. It was done by odin v1.85 and of course it did root. So I know it has superSU, but I can't get onto a stock rom for this phone because of my **** sat internet bandwidth and also a good site to download from. I tried the samsung-update site, but the 2 links don't allow me to finish the download. Do you know of any links that i can download the stock rom for my i9305T my phone was running android v4.3. The link I just stated was for v4.3.
Can you give me some advise on how or what I should do?
Regards,
Wayne

The phone was v4.3 before i rooted the phone. Do i need to flash the stock v4.3 rom again or can i use the older v4.2 or newer v4.4 to reflash the recovery?

I'm not sure if you can downgrade from 4.3 to 4.2 or earlier. If the phone was running 4.3 then I'd install 4.3 or 4.4 to get stock recovery back. Then you can install a custom recovery. No need to root your phone for that.
Do you know a link that will take me to a compatible file for my GT-i9305T, I'm just not sure what to look out for. Also would you be able to give me a quick rundown/instructions on how to do this. Will I need odin, and which version will I need. Currently I have v1.85, that's what I used to start off. I really don't wanna brick this phone.

Wayne

there you'll find the Kitkat DBT for i9305. Will work with your phone as well. In the OP you'll find instruction on how to install this version via odin. Odin is included in the zip.
After that you put your phone into download mode again and flash the preferred recovery via odin. But don't use TWRP 2.8.7.0 from their site. That build is broken and is getting fixed atm. Either use TWRP 2.8.5.0 or latest Philz Touch. If you decide to flash a custom ROM again, make sure you're in the right forum, e.g. i9305
Thanks heaps for your help so far maultasche, I will let you know how I go with this.
Cheers,
Wayne

From backup I actually meant if you had cwm and you did a nandroid backup of the stock rom from the recovery itself.
If you are getting bootloop you can easily fix it by restoring the backup.
Search on the net about recovery from soft brick and bootloops.
Nandroid backups can atleast get your device in running condition.
If you have custom recovery backup your rom first then you can flash any desired rom.
One more thing if you had flashed custom rom do not factory reset your device,this may result in soft brick.
Hope that helps!
Is your device booting now??

Yes, I successfully got the phone to boot up and run. I used the I9305XXUFNI3_I9305DBTFNI3_I9305XXUFNI3_HOME.tar file using the odin v3.09 and now it has asked the country and so on..
It was a bit daunting thinking if it was going to brick or fix the phone...
Thanks for your help, time and kindness for the files you gave me.
The next couple of days I will try attempt install Cyanogenmod 11. Will I need to use odin to install the recovery image, just like I did for the I9305XXUFNI3_HOME.tar file?

You're welcome, glad it did help.
Yes, you need odin to flash the recovery again. No need to root your phone just to install the recovery, as mentioned. Then you can flash whatever ROM you'd like. One thing - although CM 11 still gets nightlies from time to time there is no maintainer left. He switched devices. If you encounter any issues which might be device related they probably won't get fixed.
Is sending pics on pc still an issue? Sorry, I wasn't online and I forgot to check the thread :/
HI Maultasche, so I have been looking at the" Resurrection-Remix-LP-v5.5.6" rom and have been downloading the files for it, but i am not sure what the "changelog" file is for or what it does. The page - forum . xda-developers.com / galaxy-s3 / development-i9305 / rom-resurrection-remix-4-4-2-kitkat-v5-t2704828 . It tells me I need these Installation Files:- ROM , Gapps & Changelog. Do you know if i can install this Rom using
CWM v6.0.4.7?
Oh, and about the send pic question, I wanted to send you a pic of the odin mode screen from my phone, but the only thing I could see was the "insert image" button. But it wanted me to enter a URL for the picture. Whats the go there?
Regards,
Wayne

The change log file only shows what has been fixed and what has changed to previous builds. Nothing you need for the ROM
You only need the ROM, gapps and the recovery. Use the recovery rodman has mentioned in his post.
Insert image button? Via Tapatalk? Don't know what you mean to be honest.
Me Again, just above this message box there is the insert image icon. Doh... So now I have spotted the Paperclip icon above and now feel a **** for asking how to send a picture.. Sorry.
So again I thank you for your help, it is much appreciated.

Need to install a ROM without a PC
Hi maultasche, Can you help me with this, I have my wife's phone which is a S3 i9305 as well. The USB connection on the phone has been damaged and so the cable can't be connected. I was wondering if I could still install the ROM without the use of a PC. Can you tell me the best software I could do this with? Also I am not sure the best way to back up the phone, not wanting to root it.
Regards,
Wayne
hi,
what ROM youre talking about? Official firmware? If you have a flashable zip yo could do that with flashfire, flashify, rashr etc. Or via custom recovery. For a custom recovery is no root needed.
As for backups depending on what you want to backup (whole system including data etc. or just apps with apps data). Without root your backup options are kind of limited. You can backup apps and app data via helium but not every app can be backed up using this tool. You could do a back up via adb but not sure how complete such a backup will be. I never did that. Or a backup with a custom recovery again. Might be the easiest way.
