Sudden Death GS3 I9305T - Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help &

I am having a sudden sudden death problem on my device, but in my research I only knew a solution for the I9300 model through a XXELLA bootloader for android JB, and I did not find anything related to this for my device.
I wonder if you also have a solution to the problem on this device that I have.
Someone to help me?:crying:

Can you specify what exactly do you mean by "Death"?
Does the phone boot into download mode or recovery mode?
Does it make anything when it's connected to charger?

The device stops in the logo, it simply does not initialize, it goes into normal download mode, but even after the process of installing the rom (numerous attempts) it initializes, but after 2 minutes it goes back to the dead state, ie, And stuck in the logo.

Stuck at what logo, splash screen logo or boot animation logo?
Well, i suggest u to flash back to tock rom using odin and start again from there.. U might want to repartition you phone too. to repartition, pit file is required, google it and you'll find one.. Good luck.

If Odin fails to flash the stock rom, try flashing with another version of Odin like v3.07 or v3.09, and try other cable and other USB Port, also try flashing the stock rom with a pit ONLY if the error in Odin's log is related to repartitioning.

Just what I did, flashing in other versions, for version v3.09 the installation was successful, however when starting to configure account, wifi and etc. Restart by yourself and freeze the logo again.
This is very strange because there is no malfunction in the device, the card is intact. I believe that version 4.1.2 is the most appropriate for this device, since I have seen many reports of people warning not to upgrade to 4.4 because of this problem.
But now it does not make any difference, I'm going to trade it for an Optimus G touch that I really needed to get LG to work.

It might be a hardware issue, don't you think?

Coming from Samsung for being anything ... this device was stopped a long time, only took it to use a month and a half, I left Samsung a long time, I had hardware problem years ago with two devices of the brand, S4 GT-i9505 - GT-i9500, since then never again, more like my LG E977 is only with the touch screen failing, I found a service shop with interest in this GS3 and I will exchange it for the touch screen of the E977.

My device is Brick
I didn't find a solution for my device. Please, help me!
What rom were you trying to flash and what exactly do you see on boot up? Some roms disable the three button combination.

[Q] Completely dead N7000. Hardbrick I think.

Howdy there.
First off, this is not "just another bricked Note thread".
I got this thing from a friend who did not have a clue what he did with it, but he told me he tried to "root it or something" He didn't have any files left, or any memory what he used.
I have for weeks tried every single trick in the book, followed every tutorial, and it shows no sign of coming to life any time soon.
When I got it, it just got stuck on the Samsung flash screen. I couldn't get into any sort of recovery, but I got into download mode, so I tried reflashing the stock firmware with ODIN, but it got stuck on NAND WRITE START for 2 hours, and then failed. All Kies processes were killed, I double checked.
After that, it only shows the "Firmware update failed, start emergency recovery mode in kies"
Kies does not support initialization for N7000, doubted it would have worked anyways.
After this, I went on to read about the brick bug for N7000
Since then I have tried repartitioning the device with all kinds of pit files, I have tried installing about 20 different firmwares, I have tried installing just a kernel, both stock and others, and NOTHING works.
Some pit files get stuck in DO NOT TURN OFF DEVICE for 6-24 hours, until I have disconnected or battery has run out, and some fail by themselves after 20 minutes.
Firmwares get stuck at NAND WRITE START, and fail after about an hour
Kernels fill up the bar with the green dots showing it's doing something but as soon as the log says "NAND Write Start" it gets stuck.
Is there ANYTHING still worth testing, before throwing it in the well? I will not go to a service center and pay to fix a spare phone that will lay in a box until I MIGHT need it some day.
It doesn't matter if my storage space goes down to only 500mb space with some sort of repartitioning, nothing matters. I just want it to run.
I do not have any recovery, and I haven't successfully installed any,
Basically the only thing I can do, is get to Download mode, and the only program so far finding it is ODIN.
I am very thankful for any help, and don't hesitate checking if I forgot something very basic, I might just as well have forgot something very important, but I feel I have tried everything.
Thank you!

It is exactly this: just another bricked Note thread.

Well, okay then. Thanks for clearing that up.
I just figured that it's something worse since NOTHING works, hence the "not just another" meaning "not just the same as the others". Atleast I thought it meant that. Perhaps my English isn't so good. Oh well.
I have read dozens of other threads about this where people have been able to get into recovery mode, repartition, or flash a new kernel, or at least SOMETHING, but mine just blocks everything.
-Jimi
Okay then, let's simplify the question/request.
Is there ANY way at all to scan or/and repartition my emmc?
WITHOUT a recovery.
WITHOUT it accepting anything through ODIN, not even the standard pit file, or any of the custom ones I have tried from another thread.
WITHOUT adb.
I can only get to Download Mode.
Heimdall seemed to understand my phone a bit, but couldn't flash anything.
Kernels got stuck at 100%
Factoryfs got stuck at 4%
Recovery got an error "finishing the packet" or something.
Could I use Heimdall to scan or repartition my emmc maybe?
If you are unable to Odin flash a recovery or stock rom then there's no other way. If you found other methods but is still unsuccessful then your phone is dead anyways.
I have seen the NAND write stuck error sometimes goes away on a different PC. If the memory is not already broken but worth a try.. Also use original USB cable, main PC usb port, odin 1.85.

Nah, I think the memory is broken.
I have only tested with odin 1.75, but on 3 different PCs
My laptop with Win 8.1
My old computer with XP
And my work computer with Win 7 home
Still, I do not want to give up!
In my frustration I started to flash everything and anything that just had a N7000 tag on it, and somehow somewhere something happened.
I do not have the "firmware failed, use kies recovery" message anymore.
I am instead getting the Samsung splash screen, but it freezes there, I can't do anything.
And also, if my device is off, I can charge it! The battery shows up, but then it freezes with the circle in it before it fills with green to show how much it is charged, but now it atleast accepts charge. Before it didn't.
But I still wonder if I could not scan and repartition my phone with anything else than recovery mode? Perhaps I could flash a repartitioned custom Pit file with Odin if I could just scan it somehow?
I got a similar problem with my uncle's Note. It was working fine all these years, until last month when I rooted it to upgrade it to 5.1. The phone worked for over a month post upgrading.
However, now, when I power it up, nothing happens, absolutely nothing. If I connect it to a power source, the offline battery charging symbol comes up saying 100%. Recovery mode doesnot work, though I can go in Download mode.
I tried a couple of stock ROM images through ODIN. They were flashed successfully, but the issue persists. Looks like another dead Note.

Thanks for your reply. Couldn't check it until last night. I was running NightOwl when this happened. Last night, I thought something and flashed the same Philz recovery through Odin and some how it worked.
I have started realizing that it is a hardware issue, since the device does not start without being connected to a power source. 1 out of 20 tries take me into recovery (of course while the device is connected to the charger, or else the screen is always black).
However, the recovery doesn't stay too long. I tried flashing a newer version of NightOwl, but while the recovery is still opening the package, the phone restarts .
One weird thing is that the phone doesn't starts without being connected to the PC or the charger. But when connected, within seconds, the offline charging screen says 100%, which is making me believe something is wrong with the hardware.
Part of the "hardware" is your battery...

Stuck on the Samsung boot animation after disabling SuperUser on rooted N920C

I have been trying to fix the random reboots that came with the SpaceX kernal for Note 5 N920C and now I cannot boot my phone.
I have tried wiping all data and clearing cache. I cannot find a stock kernel.

Your phone should now tell you that you have no operating system. And that should be why you're stuck in a bootloop. In this case you will need to install the original firmware back on your phone and start the rooting process over again. The easiest way to reinstall the original operating system is to use Samsung Smart Switch on PC.

I'm not sure where my phone is from and I need to know that on Sammobile to get the right firmware. On my warranty card under Country it says Pays, [Some Arabic writing].

If you use Samsung Smart Switch, it will ask you for the model of your phone, and the Serial number. Then it will find the right firmware for you. The way you would get to that information on your phone is to boot in download mode.
"While the phone is off, press and hold the volume down button, power button, and home button at the same time. As soon as the phone starts to boot, let go of the power button while STILL holding the volume down, and home button."
Your phone should boot into a minty greenish screen. Press the volume down button again and it should give you the SN for the phone. That should help in locating the correct firmware for your phone.
Flash my SkyHigh kernel and should boot. Will auto root again.
Link ? Search. ..

If you mean the SM number, I have that along with an IMEI and other information that came with the phone. Right now my problems seem to be:
Cannot flash any custom ROMs because I get stuck on "NAND write start!!" on ODIN. I have tried multiple ROMs, multiple USB ports and multiple versions of ODIN.
My computer drivers for my phone seem to fail after about a minute of using my phone causing my phone to be seen as an unrecognized device. I have tried re-installing the drivers many times.
When I go into smart switch it never recognizes my phone. When I plug it in on the Download Screen it just says "Connecting..." and eventually says my device is unsupported.
Okay, here is an update.
I tried initializing my phone after smart switch failed to connect to my device and after putting in a serial and model name it says that the N920C does not support initializing.

hi,
As far as i know Smart Switch does not support./work on rooted devices..?
I might be wrong, but this is what i have read in other similar threads/post in past.
Plse check, this fact to be sure, otherwise you wasting time trying to get it to work.
Good luck
post note.
Stock kernel is included in stock Rom.
If you try to flash old stock Rom it apparently won't work(re bootloader updated etc) . It has to be the correct latest stock Rom for your particular device! not just any Rom..?
I also noted it has to be Odin v 3. 10.7 ? something /i believe.
plse note
i can't really say for sure as,
My Note5 is not rooted...... yet all my other devices ..... Note 2.. 3....4 is !
O, yes i also have N920 C device (not rooted) and Smart Switch works fine.

It kind of sounds like zit is a driver problem. You said you did a full wipe of data and operating system on phone. So I wonder if it could also be the type of firmware you are trying to install? I would try to install a fresh copy of the new stuff firmware from Sam mobile or smart switch in order to make sure all the drivers are pm running properly. @wilcor I agree with you 100%. I am a little confused as to why the phone would fail when installing roms or fresh firmware??
Ok, thanks everybody I eventually got this problem sorted. I called samsung and they told me what country my device was from and after that I made sure I used ODIN 3.10.7 and the ROM for AFGHANISTAN and it installed successfully. Thank you for all your help.

bootloop,no recovery can be installed from odin

i'll make it short
One night,i've used my phone,and before going to sleep(phone still working),i left it to charge.(That's at about 11pm).The morning i wake up,phone cannot boot in recovery nor in download.It was like dead.But i have left it to charge for some hours then charging animation came back,then phone could boot again,including download mode but not recovery(linegeos 14.1).Until today,i have tried to flash custom recovery,stock recovery,wipe file to wipe data and cache,tried to install cm12.1,but none of them worked,still stuck on bootloop.If i recall,the night i used my phone last,i tried to use lucky patcher to get unlimited coins on dream league,but with play protect,they warned me that google would give warning,but i did not do anything.After all the flashes including recovery and the rom that failed,i ticked the nand erase in odin but seems like nothing changed.And now i'm out of options,if someone could really help me please,this is the only phone i've got.Phone can boot fine,but not in recovery and it will not install idk why,please help me...
something i've seen in download is that after flashing recovery or wiping data,in the place of current binary,it writes something like sdcard write status:2(7) or something like that.
does any of you know the problem?
no answer?
pls help me
i have the same problem is so sad
so there's no fix?
I have the exact same problem in my i8190, despite of being totally stock. I'm trying to flash stock rom, stock recovery, custom recovery, custom rom, something... and nothing happens, Odin says PASS but it seems to be like there is no memory to write on. I'm thinking it could be some hardware issue :'(
then there's nothing to do...
so sad

Hi everyone, I am having a similar problem. Last month I have tried to install novafusion RR distribution to s3 minI because it was rebooting all the time, but since I didn't liked it I went back to the original firmware. A few days ago my cell died, it wasn't turning on. The guy in the repair shop told me it wasn't the battery... the nextday it was turning on, buy keep rebooting. I bought a new original battery, charged it but still the same problem.
I tried to install twrp and central recovery via Odin but nothing works, it freezes on the "Samsung Galaxy s3 mini" or it reboot..
I would like to know if there is something that I can do, because I want to backup some contacts that were saved in the phone memory, sms and the last whatsapp chat, for some reason the last automatic one is from january...
Any ideas?

Did you, while flashing, thick "re-partition"? If you are, that is reason.
On your place, I will change computer and USB cable and try again.
If nothing helps, then find PIT files for your phone model and flash it with PIT file (re-partition) and stock firmware.
At first I unticked re-partition and ticked Auto reboot and f.reset time , I then flashed the firmware which had no luck, Secondly I flashed with re-partiion Ticked with no luck aswell ! I also unticked all except for Nand erase Still no luck , I flashed my model PIT file with the original firmware same thing NO luck ... So maybe it's an hardware problem , I have attempted to do this on another computer and still no luck with re-partition unticked.
Hmmm... U already try all available options...
Maybe try with older version of Odin, go on SamFirmware site find your model and look at version of Odin...
Otherwise, u make brick
