[Q] Totally Screwed!! - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

I have (Had)a rooted SGH-174. I flashed cyanogenmod 10 using Rom Manager and got into a boot loop. I wiped the data and it booted up fine. The ONLY ISSUE is that my phone now says it is a SCH-R530M. Computer doesnt regonize it and I can't install any apps.
Oh my god what have I done???I've booted into recovery and reset but it is still showing a different phone model. Please help???:crying:
I rooted the phone after buying from Telus and installed cyanogen because to install jellybean ota release would have meant rerooting

Hi,
Have a look at this thread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426
Hope this helps.

It seems you installed CM10 for another model. You will need to hit the Development sections in these forums and look for the correct CM10, and you will need to do a clean install (full wipe). Please read the Guides in around the forum and you'll be good to go. Remember read first before flashing anything and always make a backup, good luck.

Thank you. I have a full back up but of course I can't reinstall because the backup doesn't recognize my phone so I can't download Titanium backup or ANYTHING from Google play. When I went into Rom Manager I hit the S3 button and it was a Metro PCS with the different model number.My factory reset sets it back to that model and not my SGH i747.
I feel like an idiot
\

You will need to flash a correct ROM via recovery or ODIN and by backup I meant nandroid backup, not titanium. Either way you should always backup both before flashing anything. Check this thread out it might share some light on how to do several things: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1725839. Always double and triple check that the ROM, kernel, modem, etc., you are flashing works with you model and carrier.

Need More assistance!? Please

I have a rooted SGH-i747 S3. The stock release of Jellybean came out today, and instead, I used Rom Manager to flash CMOD 10. Unfortunately, the rom I flashed was for a METRO PCS model SCH R530M.
I downloaded the proper stable Mod for my SGH and installed it onto my phone, but now the install aborts. The model number of my phone shows as the SCH and not the SGH. I have spent six hours and tried virtually every thing I can think of and can't get it back to original version. Can some one please heip????
Thank you.

<<<<I just checked your threads and you said you're phone is a SGH-I747M <--- There's an "M", as in monkey, which isn't an AT&T model Galaxy S3. You need to check your phone by going to your settings, click About device(phone), and read Model number(Samsung-SGH-I747 is mine) Do this before you flash ANYTHING else or you could permanently brick your phone. I noticed you said that your phone isn't showing the original Model number so check here: pull out battery, read the label and it will say the Model number.
Here is a link to various carrier roms: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426
Okay I'm going to give you a link to the REAL AT&T Galaxy S3 SGH-I747 Jelly Bean ROM, which is rooted, which you need to download and then extract onto the desktop. After extracting the One-Click Odin program open it (((EDIT))) Go to Recovery mode by holding (+) plus volume button + Home + Power and then if you have a custom recovery make sure you wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, format system, format data, wipe dalvik cache. If you don't have a custom recovery do a factory reset and wipe the cache. (((EDIT))) and then put your phone into "Download"(Odin) mode by holding the (-)minus volume button + Home button + Power button until it says "Warning a custom OS can cause damage etc" and then press (+) plus volume button and then plug in the phone, using the USB cable that came with your phone, to your computer.
It will say 0:[COMx] where x is a random number. Press START and then let it finish until it says "PASS" in green. If it says any errors and aborts the program refer back to here and edit your thread with the new information.
If this works PLEASE hit thanks...my wife is behind me telling me to go to bed with her and instead I'm here typing because I care about your welfare so a thanks isn't too much to ask for.
I hope it works. Here's the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2031840

something is happening! Stay tuned...Late in Edmonton too

Update while this is running. It definitely is the SGH-i747M. When I flashed the ROM, I checked the GalaxyS3, but after it installed The model came up as the SH R530M. I maintain hope though as in download mode where we are now in the top corner (very tiny print) it is showing as SGH-i747M. when I plug it in though the model is showing the SHR 530 from Metro PCS. I <about phone> it doesn't show Telus or anything.

What firmware did you flash? Did you check behind your battery for the Model number? Don't be hasty to flash or you could brick.

Give it time, has to rebuild cache.

Yeah if it is just sitting on the Samsung Logo more than likely it is rebuilding the dalvik cache and you NEED to leave it alone so it can finish. It looks like your problem is fixed.

The Samsung logo keeps flashing from white to blue, etc. I will just let it go all night. How long can it take? I am quite apprehensive, but you have gotten me way further than anything else. thank you so much...

The dalvik-cache building process can take up to 10 minutes so be patient and calm.
I have to ask, is the logo swirling over and over? or is it pulsing in place like a neon light? The swirling means that the Samsung boot logo is cycling and is in a "boot loop" and firmware needs to be flashed to resolve the issue. If it is pulsing in place it is building the dalvik-cache and it needs to be left alone. Nevertheless you need to be sure of the Model number or you could brick by flashing the rom from another carrier. Behind the battery is one place to check, and the internet is the second. Whatever carrier you're on type this: (carrier name) + Samsung Galaxy S3 Model number then press search and then get back with me.

Sounds like you need to boot into recovery and factory reset. If it booted up and is stuck there thats most likely the problem. BTW- A good way to tell if it is building the cache or stuck is the keys at the bottom. If they dont light up within 5 mins then its not gonna boot and needs wiped

It is static on the screen with Samsung "pulsing" between whit and a light bluish tinge to it. The Logo is NOT swirling, just the word Samsung pulsing white/blue, white/blue, and on and on and......

Well it seems to be taking a while so go ahead and try to access Recovery Mode by holding: (+) plus volume button + Home button + Power button until the phone reboots and you see blue text in the top left corner that says "Recovery booting..." and then let go.
If it worked tell me if you have a custom recovery like ClockworkMod or TWRP, etc to flash a rom. If you're on stock try to do a factory data/reset and wipe cache then reboot and wait.

Another Soft Brick...

Hey guys. After searching this and other forums and reading many threads I decided the best option would be for me to start my own for my personal situation. Here's the back story.
I put in a fully charged battery that I've used successfully for a few months. Phone appeared to successfully boot up then rebooted itself. Made it to swirling blue before rebooting again. This time, and every time after, it freezes at the Samsung Galaxy SIII screen. Phone won't go into recovery mode but will enter download mode.
I was running rooted ATT stock rom (not sure what version but I haven't done the last 2 OTA's for sure). Phone had been rooted for at least 6 months with no issues. No new apps or anything had been done to the phone recently. TWRP is on the phone however when trying to enter it it freezes on the Team Win screen and never fully enters recovery.
When trying go back to stock rom using Odin I get this message:

My phone also has a bad pin connection in the usb port (hence why I was changing out batteries)
It forms a connection but at times doesn't stay connected or any little manipulation could throw it off. I do know however that it's not losing connection with the computer when I get the failed message in Odin.
Any help or ideas? As of now I'm rocking a go phone but would rather get my S3 back.
Thanks

It shouldn't. I haven't done an OTA update since 4.1 I believe. The last 2 updates (most recent and October) I didn't do because my phone was rooted and didn't feel like dealing with it. So firmware hasn't been updated. However back in October, my phone automatically downloaded the OTA update and I accidentally installed it. In face I believe it did it again recently. Which after the installation, the phone wouldn't boot up because I was running the rooted firmware. I simply used TRWP to recover everything. As far as I know, phone firmware was never updated because I kept root, but I could very well be wrong.

You can try different stock firmware from sammobile if you are sure you do not have the 4.3 bootloader.

[Q] Softbrick, bootloop, TWRP Password

My girlfriends S3 (Bell, I747M, d2can) is currently boot looping. It had a custom ROM on it, but I'll be damned if I could tell you which one. It was working, then it wasn't. No updates, no flash/wipe/etc.
Now I turn on her phone, and it gets to the ROM's boot screen, and just as it's about to complete, it restarts again. I can enter TWRP (2.6.3.1) but it requires a password (which is a bug, afaik). I can press "cancel" and try to reset/wipe, but it won't mount or reset the cache partition, so it fails.
I used Odin (3.07, 3.09) to try and flash TWRP 2.6.3.0 and 2.7.0.0, and both failed. The result was Odin would reboot the phone, then it would enter the same bootloop, and the recovery would still be TWRP 2.6.3.1.
I tried downloading a stock S3 firmware and flashing it with Odin. Same problem.
I've tried new drivers. New cable. New USB port. I've tried using a different computer. Always the same result.
So a summary of what I can/can't do:
Can't use TWRP to reset/wipe
Can't use ADB Sideload
Can't modify device via ADB
CAN see the device via ADB
CAN enter download mode
Any help?
I pulled DMESG at some point during all this. Maybe it can help shed some light: http://pastebin.com/4c2uL3Qq
Dont know how much help it is but I quit using TWRP because of that bug, now I use CWM the philz touch version and haven't seen that again. When you are flashing the rcovery with ODIN you must absolutely uncheck the box for auto reboot. when you get the message that says the flash was successful you should then unplug the USB cable and do a battery pull, reinsert the battery, press the volume up key and the home key, press the power button until it vibrates then release the power button only, once the phone boots into recovery you may release the volume up and home buttons.
If you are trying to flash Stock roms be darn sure you have the right stuff IE AT&T phone using 4.3 you find here on XDA the correct odin flashable tar or for any other use www.sammobile.com if you have a canadian I747M go to www.sammobile.com and find the right one for the bootloaders currently on the phone. If you flash a phone that has 4.3 bootloaders on it with older bootloaders you will have an instant Hard Brick. Use Extreme Caution with bootloaders and ODIN tars. you could also use custom recovery to flash some stock or custom roms too those are alot safer and less likely to hard brick.
I think you are on the right track to trying to fix your ahem her phone, a little patience and reading go a long way IIRC the recovery thread instructions outline the need to uncheck the auto reboot box, with that being said you aren't the first one to over look it I have done it myself a few months ago. I wish you the best of luck and hope that a cache wipe will fix what you have going on if not try a factory reset, Good Luck.

I assume that's where it's supposed to be. Then I enter recovery and it's still the same TWRP 2.6.3.1. Very strange.
I don't think her phone is using 4.3 bootloaders, as I don't remember them being available when I flashed this phone. I'm a Nexus guy, so maybe I'm doing something wrong this time.
EDIT: I also seem to recall on my phones that when I flashed something in Download/Fastboot mode, there was a progress bar of sorts on the phone itself indicating it was receiving something. On this phone it doesn't display anything to imply something's happening.
Boot into download and let us know what it says on the download screen. If you have the 4.3 bootloader, try flashing a pre-rooted 4.3 Bell ROM using Odin 3.07. If you have a lower version bootloader, try flashing a pre-rooted 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 ROM.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/sho...mctr=(not provided)&__utmv=-&__utmk=139036464
In Odin, don't check auto reboot. When you see reset in the status windows, disconnect the USB cable and pull the battery. Boot into recovery and wipe cache, data, and reboot.
Thanks for the reply! I'm 99% sure it's a pre-4.3 bootloader. Here's what it shows in DL mode:

I feel it's worth mentioning again: At no point, while using Odin, does the phone display a transfer bar of any sort.
Try installing Philz Touch recovery via Odin and see if you can boot into recovery. Copy a custom ROM on an external SD card and see if you can flash that ROM from recovery.

Tried Philz and Odin still doesn't seem to have flashed it.
I'll try with an SD card.

Try this: when you flash with Odin, uncheck auto reboot, start the flash process. When you see the word reset in the status window, remove the USB cable, pull the battery, and boot into recovery.

Any particular reason you need to re-partition?
Also, this forum is for the s3, not the s3 mini.

im sorry i just seen s3 and i thought that it would be sorta the same and what is re-partition?
It involves partitioning/re-partitioning the phone's internal memory.
The simplest way to return the phone to stock would be to flash the phone's stock firmware from sammobile.com. Just make sure that you are flashing the same version currently installed on the phone.
wow man thanks so much i am getting the firmware right now, do i just use odin?
Yes, just make sure you are flashing the same version that is currently on the phone.
Open Odin 3.07 (this is the version I recommend), do not check anything except f.reset time. Flash the phone. When you see the word "reset" in the status windows, remove the USB cable, remove the battery, replace the battery, boot into recovery, perform a factory reset/wipe and clear the cache. Reboot.
BTW, the fact that the phone is rooted doesn't normally cause a bootloop when resetting the phone, at least this has been my experience with several different rooted phones.

Memory Damaged message, won't reset, recovery mode fails (red triangle,Android down )

Hi, I've searched hi and low for help, but can't find anything that seem to apply to my phone or case. I have a Canadian Mobilicity S3 model SGH-T999V that just bricked itself. Everything is official other than I unlocked it to switch to Wind: Binary Count = 0.
The Story: Last week (Tuesday Sep 22nd 2015) The phone restarted a few times for no apparent reason, then the next day errors about missing files started to pop up to the point that I had to reset the phone to be able to use it. Start fresh all good for a week, then one restart yesterday (Sep 30) and this morning I have a screen that says: "Device Memory Damaged - the data partition has been corrupted.you need to reset your device to factory defaults.this will erase all your date. (reset device button)" I press the button nothing happens, so I take out the battery, leave it while at work, then try again: same thing - I try to reboot into recovery but fail: I get a down android with an open belly cover and a red triangle picture for a bit and the phone reboots back to the damaged memory screen. I can get into the download mode, but Odin doesn't see the phone.
Any advice on how to proceed from here would be greatly appreciated.
I've used Odin before on my Nexus S, but that was many moons ago, it's dead now...
Thanks in advance.
Can you get into download mode? If you can, yet flashing the stock ROM from sammobile.com and flash it using Odin.
Thanks for the reply.
Odin doesn't see the phone and I don't remember exactly how to use it either, but I know it's very model specific, as to files and ROMs to download and install, hence the advise seeking. I guess I'm hoping someone in the know can tell me "follow the instructions for such [more popular] model #, that will work on the 999"...
The T999v is a very popular model in Canada as it was used by Wind and Videotron.
Are you able to boot the phone into download mode? The Samsung drivers are installed? Are you using a Win7 machine?
Yes it boots into Download mode but not into recovery. I have Kies installed along with the drivers, could reinstall that just in case. Running Windows 10 Pro Preview, in the process of upgrading to the final release.
I recommend grabbing the latest firmware from sammobile.com for the phone and flash it in Odin 3.07 with the phone in download mode. I would not bother with Kies.
I've updated my build of Windows 10, that may have been one of my problems, now Odin reacts to the phone but fails:

So much for that! guess it's fried at the hardware level.
I'm thinking you are suffering from a hardware failure as stated by the message you mentioned before. It has happened to others and I can't recall anyone having much success in restoring functionality.
If you want to try again though, uninstall kies from your computer as it interferes with Odin. There is also a newer version of Odin, but I doubt that would make much difference on the S3.
If you are unable to get it working again and want a relatively cheap fix, search ebay for a used motherboard or a device that has a broken screen but otherwise works. Then swap out the board.

The update is failing because the ROM you are flashing has a bootloader that is older than the version currently installed on the phone as verified by the following stop error in Odin:
<ID:0/004> aboot.mbn
<ID:0/004> NAND Write Start!!
I have a feeling DocHoliday77 is probably right, I've bought a new phone from my provider for 9$ (Alcatel onetouch Pop D3) and posted a wanted ad for broken S3 ... not ready to completely give up on the S3 just yet, but neither do I have high hopes.
Getting rid of Kies
The firmware is the most recent for the SGH-T999V on sammobile.com - I can try without the V maybe
Only T999V firmware will work on the T999V.
If you are selling it and it has a good working display you should be able to get a decent amount for it still. Not sure how much they are going for these days but it's always been the most expensive and in demand part for the device.

A320FL Recovery Bricked And Stuck On Bootloading

Hi everyone,
so here is the issue I'm facing with my A320FL.
Last week, after I had it all reinstalled properly, phone restarted and got stuck on FRP lock menu.
So I decided to wipe it all and reinstall with proper official ROM again.
I used Odin 3.13.3 launched as Administrator and latest Samsung Drivers.
I download latest official 8.0.0 ROM from SAMmobile.
I used the procedure with BL, AP, CP and CSC files (I don't mind losing all my data, I have backup) and all goes fine up to the green PASS! (I disabled Auto Reboot in Odin's Options just to take the screenshot):
https://ibb.co/HVrnxbw
then phone restarts, then goes with "installing updates" and quickly go up to 32%, then waits a bit: https://ibb.co/t392t7Q
then restarts again, then goes "Erasing" for a like 2 minutes: https://ibb.co/FJHMT7g
then restart again, and then the problem appears when phone gets stuck on following screen:
https://ibb.co/zHby4dx
I cannot go to recovery and wipe cache or data as I've seen on other posts to resolve this issue as recovery is blocked.
If I reboot the phone with 'Volume down + HOME + Power', I get to this screen: https://ibb.co/4RhJgJG
then if I press 'Volume Up" I have this screen: https://ibb.co/Wnh5Hv0
So I have "FRP lock: ON" at the top of the screen, and I cannot install TWRP or any custom recovery (Odin ends with a fail message if I try so): https://ibb.co/0qPLFL5
And phone shows "Custom Binary Blocked By FRP Lock": https://ibb.co/hsLdKjs
So I cannot boot into the ROM, go in Developer Options and Enable OEM unlock :/
And everytime I try to reinstall the official ROM, I get stuck on the "No Command" screen.
Any idea on how to go back to proper state?
Thanks
Just wait it out a bit. If it auto goes to recovery, it goes through that, well because the phone is kinda slow. Wait out the no command thing for 5 minutes, if it doesn't proceed that's a different issue
Thanks for your answer.
When I wait on the no command screen, the phone then reboots after like 3/4 minutes, and eventually goes back to that same screen again.
Thanks
Any chance of an update or something to try on that one please?
Thanks
Hi everyone,
any chance of a suggestion on my issue?
Is the phone bricked or have I a chance to recover it?
Thanks

I tried that, and nothing happens.
Again I tried a few options, in different order, and so far the phone still looks briked.
Dunno if I'll be able to recover it anytime :/

Send me PM i will try to help you.?
@mhaxor: I have the same behaviour. Is it possible that you did the latest (September) stock firmware update before ? Boot loader updates and then no combination firmware flashing is possible.

Hey, I didn't install the september update, but I tried a few different stock ROM with ODIN from sammobile, one of them being with a build date of October 2019

What does your bootloader state in download mode (B:?).
I guess 4, if so you have the same softbrick then me. Did you search for a combination firmware supporting Bootloader type 4 ?
I only see this screen when booting up the phone: https://ibb.co/hsLdKjs

Yes. What I thought. Your are on bootloader 4. Take a look at several threads here about a combination firmware that works with bootloader 4. There´s none at the moment.
I´ve exactly the same behaviour, none of the stock ROMs (and I tried many of them) was able to get the phone up again.
Bad luck, but at the moment your device is less or more bricked. Let me know if you are succesful, I´ll do the same and send you a PN.

Dude try bypassing FRP, i will try to search for some tools for you!
The only way I managed to bypass FRP lock was with unlocking the OEM in the device's settings in developper mode, then installing a new recovery.
But of course I can't access this now.
is it dead?

Edit: I was using the wrong version of (3.12) odin should have used version 3.13.
anyway you can shed some light on my issue as well? this was a friends phone (legit story), here in brazil these kids don't pay attention to what they are doing. they put google accounts on phones and fail to remember them nor do they care to. the device is showing similar symptoms. all I can really say is the device will only flash combination files, if I flash a firmware it only flashes the modem. when I got the device it was on bootloader 2 (b:2 firmware A320FLXXS2BRA9). then I ended up flashing a firmware that was b:3. after I did that the device will only go to factory binary, and like I mentioned before it wont flash the firmware just the modem.
on power up the device in the upper left conner says:

@mhaxor: Are there any news on your bricked device ? Have you been successful finding a combination firmware that works with latest bootloader ?
Hello,
no further improvement, still stuck.
This is not my main phone so I can use the other one daily, but I'd still like to unbrick that A320FL.
