[HELP] i9305 Bootlooping and ODIN Stock firmware fails - Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help &

Hi All,
I'm looking to fix this S3 from this boot loop problem. It ended up in this problem from use, not by firmware changing.
ODIN Fails almost immediately when trying to Flash.

I've used the Firmware file name: I9305XXUFNI3_I9305DBTFNI3_DBT from a XDA forum page
This was running Stock Firmware (Grey Import) with root via Framaroot. No Custom Recovery or any Custom changes like Radio firmware).
Before my replacement phone arrive, I had a very similar problem one day and I attempted to do an ODIN Firmware flash to recover, it failed to flash then also but must have done something because my phone continued to work for another 3 months.
I have recovered everything I needed during this time but now I want to get this phone working again.
I can't see anything physically wrong with the phone and there isn't any water damage. I disassembled / re-assembled to check for any internal damage.
Please guide me where I should proceed from here.

[Q] Flashing CWM Recovery - can't see my phone model

Hello all! Hopefully, I put this thread in correct section. If not, please move it.
Anyway, here is my question.
I installed ROM Manager because I want to try some other ROMs on my SGS i9000 and when I want to flash the CWM Recovery, the only option I get is Google Nexus S. Is this normal? Should it show my model? Can there be any problems if I choose Google Nexus S option?

Thank you!
What ROM are you currently on ? if its a custom ROM you may have the Nexus Drivers, and that could be why it is only showing you that option.
there are many other ways of flashing a custom ROM so dont give up if ROM Manager starts acting up.
i personally prefer a flash with ODIN and all update Flashes through CWM
I recently upgraded from 2.2.1 to 2.3.3. Here you can see more info:
As far as i know, this is not a custom ROM, just leaked one. Or am I wrong? I upgraded it with ODIN too and it wasn't hard, I just think it would be even easier, if i didn't have to use the computer and could download ROMs directly on the phone.

[Q][VZW]Why can't I format my data and cache?

I was trying to do the gingerbread on this new tab for my buddy. But, it failed and for some reason, I cant get it to do anything. Take a look at this picture and help me figure this out please.
If I can atleast get it back to stock, I can try to other methods, however, it wiped off the original bootloader and I cant find the bootloader anywhere.
Help! Please!

Hello, there!
I have the same problem with my tab. I left it OK at the evening and the very next morning I found it dead with black screen. Restore mode didn't work either, so I decided to re-install the software. After installing the Gingerbread it cannot load properly always giving me the same errors.
At the service centre they told me that I need to replace the memory chip, because it's faulty. However, they didn't know the exact problem, because my device wasn't bought in my country.
Did no one know anything about this??? Just found my Tab dead after having ICS on it for nearly 2 weeks....pretty stupid. I'm stuck with all these "can't mount" errors. Nothing I've tried will fix this issue. Any insight would be appreciated on this matter.

[Q] Cannot flash any ROM...

Hello,
I'm fed up with this Nexus One... Short story:
-flashed Evervolv's ICS (with Blackrose suggested values). Everything went ok but due to slowness I wanted to revert back to stock Gingerbread.
-flashed CWM, flashed stock HBOOT (145/95/196). Wiped all caches, user data etc.
-downloaded tons of Passion ROMS from several sites. Tried with different, freshly formatted SD cards.
I have tried to change rom's name to update.zip and flash it from recovery. Does not work (E: Can't open /sdcard/update.zip
(bad) installation aborted").
Also tried to change the name to PASSIMG.zip and start on bootloader but it does not do anything when looking for passimg...
I have looked at similar issues but did not found anything... Any suggestions?

Please any pro out there help us?

I think I've wrecked my work phone

Hi all. Great forum btw. I've spent days browsing the material, yet, I've still messed up my device.
I attempted to root the S10, unlocking the bootloader etc, however, I messed up the patched image part and ended up in a boot loop. The mistake I then made when in the download area was locking the bootloader again. I know, I'm an idiot.
Despite flashing the phone with stock firmware using Odin, when the phone boots up it says it's can't apply a Managed Service because the phone has, or did have, a custom OS on it.
I've tried all sorts via ADB, Odin etc, but I'm stuck. The worst part of it is that it's a work phone, and I'm not sure how I'm going to explain myself to the IT department if I can't fix this myself - eek!
Help! Any help is really appreciated. Below are a few pics of the areas I can get to, plus the messages I get when I try and boot the phone normally.
Thanks for reading this.
(I can get to these areas fine, but despite factory resets and trying all the other options, I can't progress)

Tried to install LineageOS on Tab S2, now it is soft bricked

Hey all,
I am very inexperienced with custom OS on Android and I was trying to install a lineageOS so that I can run octoprint on my tablet for my 3d printer. In doing so, I somehow deleted the stock OS.
Now my device either flashes the samsung logo (if I boot normally) or it can get to the download screen if I hold Power + Home + Vol Down. But I can't seem to get my computer to find the device, so I can't connect it with Odin. Do you know of any guides or threads you could point me to? Or how to fix this?
My model is SM-T713.
Thank you
I downloaded the stock firmware from here - https://github.com/ivanmeler/SamFirm_Reborn/releases/tag/0.3.6.3
I am trying to use odin to reflash it to my device, but it seems the device isn't being found.

Pressing Start in Odin does nothing. Is there something I am missing?
Fixed it, kind of. It was a bad cable. Switching out the cable allowed Odin to connect, it downloaded and passed, but it is still stuck on the samsung logo.
