ok so last night I decided to try out the encryption option on my t mobile t999 and all went like it was supposed to. It rebooted a couple times like it said it would then when it rebooted to put in pin I entered the pin it started decrypting. I left it for 4 hours well it wouldn't work so I pulled battery and retried and left it go well it hung for hours. I proceeded to try a factory reset and it kept failing at the /data "cannot mount"... I tried wiping the internal SD it too failed. so now im trying to odin the "official stock" image it keeps getting hung at the "NOH-HLOS.bin" for HOURS anyone with anything please help me out
Can you boot into the system at all? If so can you install any apps?
Are you rooted?
If yes to all try Mobile Odin to flash, may be able to work around the problem....im not sure.
Otherwise try using goo or rom manager to install recovery and then flash another rom.
Not sure any of thatll work, just some suggestions.

How did you update to 6.0.1.4 when 6.0.1.2 is the latest version? And no, you don't need to re root. You don't need root to flash firmware.

Looking on the forums someone posted a link to download an updated 6.0.1.4 so I tried that since 6.0.1.2 wasnt working. There's gotta be something simple to fix that I dont know about, ive flashed and rooted my htc sensation and mytouch4g easy and never had installation failure when flashing. Can someone walk me through what exactly I need to be fully rooted and flash a rom!?
How could cwm not be working if its updated to latest version? I dont think im downloading the wrong rom and its not a bad link. Even tried dragging it onto my internal sd wirh debugging off. Btw I have the 32 gb s3 with does not have an external sd.
The way I fix that was I rerootes my phone into latest clockwork recovery. I didn't remove the root I just rerootee it. Look for cwr 6 I think.

From watching the video given for the toolkit, when in odin and have to open up pda then go to the toolkit files and then root all my files are in winRAR type and his are in tar archive type. Does that matter at all? And also when clicking on the pda then root you chose the file /boot-insecure-tmo-t99uvalem-cwm but when in odin and clicking this file on the little winrar icon to the left of the file name its the only one with a little like key lock, doesnt know if thats an issue or anything just something i noticed because when accessing the toolkit files on my c drive and going to the root folder, the key icon is no longer there.. Any ideas??
Reading about people flashing a kernal in recovery then flashing the rom and working but when you flash a rom isnt it flashing the kernal it comes with also? Or is this the problem
Well, I re ran the toolkit, re did the root and odin process same as i did the first time, downloaded rom straight from my phone flashed again still getting status 7 error/ installation aborted -______- ugh...

Look at my signature for the proper CWM. I don't know where you saw 6.0.1.4 for our device, but the main thread and the developers website show no sign of it. And download CM10 from get.cm, d2tmo. If you that doesn't work, you don't have a SGH-T999.
I can't believe I didn't see this before....what is the exact file name of the rom you are flashing?
I looked and did not see our phone listed in the op. Looks like the international one is there (codename m0?). But no d2tmo, d2att, etc.
Unless I just missed it there, you do not want to even try flashing that anymore! If I'm right you just got very lucky dude!

I thought you were trying to flash miui...
Glad you got it sorted out.
Just for the future though, never flash anything not built for the TMobile SGH-T999 (codename d2tmo). If you do flash an international GS3 rom it will brick your device. I think this woulda happened had the miui rom from the link in op actually flashed.

I was at first but then changed my mind, both werent working before hand though when i was getting the errors.
And im using hellfire and the rom is super smooth like butter. I have one problem though, its notifications. Whenever receiving texts i dont get a vibration or light pulse. Sometimes randomly i get a vibration. Anyone know how to fix?
Hi all! I'm new here so please refrain from flaming me...
I'm no noob to flashing the rom on my phone as I have successfully carried out the procedure multiple times. However, on this occasion things didn't go as planned. I began the procedure to update my S3 via odin to the new firmware that was released yesterday, however when the process got to 'system.img' the status bar just hung in the same place (just past the beginning of the bar) for a good 20 minutes... I panicked and unplugged my phone... BAD MOVE. I now get the error message "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." and the only thing I can do is put my phone in odin mode, which I did, and tried to install the stock jelly bean rom, the exact same thing happened as before...
What should I do?
Thanks in advance

I don't believe we have that for our model.
If you can still get download mode there's hope, maybe not a lot in this case, but there is some.
Try to flash cwm or twrp via odin. If successful boot recovery and try to flash a stock rom. Hopefully it only screwed up the system partition. ...
Never unplug till odin says either PASS, FAIL, or RESET. You may end up really lucky this time. If its taking a long time, just leave the room.

When I try a whole firmware flash it just hangs right after it starts, and when I tried to boot recovery (was that what was previously suggested?) it says fail...
I previously suggested trying to flash recovery only using odin. Before you just said you can only boot to download mode, so I was asking what does it do when you try to boot into recovery?

Oh right, my bad. When I try to boot into recovery the error screen saying to recover with Kies pops up.
Good news! I followed this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1905655 and I am now able to get into recovery mode. I guess my only option now is to wipe my data, install stock JB and everything should be ok?
Guys, even better news... That thread was the solution! My phone is now back to normal! I did lose a lot of pictures, but oh well, I'm glad I have my phone back to normal. Thanks for all your help! :good:
Wow! Ok, I am glad you got it working again, but you took a huge risk flashing that. Luckily its just the kernel aparently, but you should never flash anything from the international forum. More hard bricks have occured from flashing international stuff than anything else.
Just pointing this out so you or others reading this don't take it as meaning they can flash international roms and mods.
Glad it did work out for you though!

Thank you for the info! I keep that in mind so I don't run into any other problems. Now, I'm deciding whether I should try to install that firmware that caused the problem again... Even though I know what to do in the event that odin hangs, the results may not be the same... What do you think?
On a side note: It seems I only text messages and app settings, luckily I backed up my phone with Kies a few days ago so it's all good

Before you do, check under the battery so you are certain of the phone model. There are 3 variants if the T999, and they cannot flash each others firmware.
Also, I don't believe you mentioned which firmware you tried, or I missed it, but which was it?
And i said it before, but do not unplug during flash. It may seem to take forever if it hangs, but it will eventually Fail out if it does.

Okay, it's definitely the GT-I9300, and the firmware I tried to flash was this one from SamMobile:
GT-I9300 United Kingdom 2013 July 4.1.2 I9300XXEMG4 I9300OXAEMG4
And okay, it's just that it it hung for so long I thought "well, that's not right", panicked, then yeah, messed up my phone.

Ahhhh, well, I know now why it didn't brick your phone when you flsshed thst kernel! You do hsve the correct phone for that. So you will need to reverse what I told you and do not flsdh anything from this forum! Sorry for the confusion, I assumed you had a T999.
It sounds like you have the right firmware, but I know very little about the international models. They are very different than ours. You should definitely go to the International forum from here on. Very little info you get here will be relevant and you cannot use any of our roms or otherwise.
Good luck!

Hey fellow XDA-ers
Quick question. There are a lot of threads about ppl who have managed to get their SGH-T989D into "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in KIES & try again"
Lots of the response thread deal with either flashing the stock rom or another rom or a recovery or something. But that's not my question.
My question is this: Is data that was previously on the device still intact? I can tell you that no attempt to flash the device was made.
Thanks in advance.

Yes, as long as it happens while install is in progress u can get it back, most of the time what happens is a bad flash with Odin or still having kies running in background while using Odin, happened to me, like an idiot I moved, phone fell from desk and unplugged itself mid flash, I was able to flash twrp and when it rebooted it was right where I left it, contacts apps everything, now if ur flashing a rom with Odin maybe not as Odin wipes the phone when flashing a rom, but this mostly happens to ppl when trying to root and install a custom recovery, which is a very easy fix, maybe I'll post a how to.....

Hello all
I unfortunately had to get a replacement for my S3 because the charging port got screwed up.
I tried to root the phone by installing CWM and it seemed to go fine. I did this with Odin using qbking77's methods and files.
I went to look for my zip file to flash and I could find no zip files at all.
It kept saying that E won't mount and stuff like that.
I had a stock recovery tar file for my GalaxyS3 from qbking77 that I used before to get to stock recovery for updates
I flashed it with odin and it said it flashed fine.
Phone seems to be working fine.
I went back to make sure it was there and it showed the little android guy with his heart spinning and then turning red and he died!
Several error messages came up in red.
Anyone ever hear about this and what did I do wrong?
I am sure I used the files I have used for my Galaxy before.
The phone still works so far thankfully!
Any advise and help would be appreciated.

The issue is because of a change that was made to the Newer Devices. Use one of the Recoveries from THIS THREAD.

Yes you can still use these Recoveries. I doubt you " fried " your device. Use these Recoveries in the Root process where you would use the older ones. Yes you can Revert them Back.
Then how can I revert back to get over the air updates? The stock recovery that I flashed showed the little Android guy had died..
