I posted this question few days ago but did not receive any reply (expect from one person) since I did not provide enough detail.
Stucked on boot screen (the one that we usually see first with white letters). I did factory reset but I am still stucked on Galaxy S boot screen. I heard the default galaxy S sound but did not see the big 'S'. When I press Volume down + Home + Power , I just see a big triangle which says 'Downloading...do not turn off target'. This means that I can go into the download mode.
I installed odin3 and installed .512 PIT file as well as JP3 firmware from here

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=748131
.
After connecting my phone with my computer, odin recognizes my phone since I see something like 0:[COM6] in Odin. Please guide me from hereon. Any help will be much appreciated.
Should I click on 'start'? Is it safe?...Just need some motivation and guidance to do this.
NOTE: I was using gscript o change system fonts. Probably deleted system fonts. Then, I restored back to system and since then phone would not start. Well, it starts but I am stucked on this screen.
I am using Samsung galaxy S vibrant (Bell, canada [GT-I900M])
Don't use .512 PIT file with JP3, you have to use .513 instead. Using 512 won't work. Just get JP3, load it up in Odin, then connect your phone to your PC in download mode. Once its recognized by Odin, click the start button and wait for everything to be done automatically by Odin.

But this gentleman (the link above) has provided .512 pit in the zip file. I am using the galaxy s vibrant (Bell, Canada)...you sure? just want to confirm.
I used pit512 for mine and it worked.

thanks for confirming.
Just selecting the .512 PIT file and not ticking Re-Partition will do nothing.
Anyways, its your choice.

how can i get odin to read my device if my device is stuck in the screen mentioned and when i enter download mode through usb connecting, takes me to the warning screen!! but when i press volume up it doesnt go into the next step, it goes straight to the same screen that i mentioned. thanks for replying btw, your the only person thats helped me out since i started searching for help.
Did you try the button combo to get into download/odin mode? If so you need to get a usb jig to force it into download mode so you can flash back to stock via odin
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Same thing happened to me. Just have Odin open and ready to go, plug phone into DL mode just like normal, when the screen pops up give Odin a second or two and then you should see the com light up yellow as Odin recognise your device. Start the flash and let Odin do it's thing and it will reboot and all will be fine.

im having the same issue with my phone. i googled around it saw ppl with the same issue, but when ppl fix their problem they didnt say how. i left a post on 3 of the threads (including 1 not on xda) but i havent received a response. i tried the hold the buttons method, the delete kies method, the just let odin flash a rom over but when odin gets to "cashe" it fails everytime. i hope i can find a fix, cuz ppl are having this problem and fixing there phone pretty quickly.

Try the second link in the second post. It worked for me. The post with the headline Odin Mode
if your screen has a pc and a warning symbol you still can odin,
open oding and conect your phone to pc while that screen you are saying pops up then see if odin recognizes..

My device is read by Odin and it flashes things. Once I flash a working rom though, it bootloops and I have no recovery to wipe data. I've never been able to get the repartition function to work
And the error I keep receiving every time almost is an error about line 1876. I have no idea what this is. I Googled it and I can't find it.
FWIW My phone would not go into download mode to save my life. I then decided to try the OE Samsung cable instead of the motorola cable I had been using and it worked right away.
Troubleshooting 101, start with the basics.
So I have the same problem as the OP. The only screen I boot to is mobile ! PC in Odin mode. This happened after I was rooted with my stock rom and CWM, but tried to do the OTA update from Kies.
My device is recognized by Odin utility, so I tried what the 2nd poster put and used Odin to flash the stock kernel (UVKID tar) from the PDA button and it failed. I used the default settings in Odin, but maybe I didn't set one right? I have attached a screen shot.
So now do I use Odin to flash the stock recovery? I'm working on making a USB jig in case that will help.
UPDATE: I was able to use Odin to flash the Stock Recovery. Now it boots up like normal. I would like to try the OTA update through Kies again, but I'm worried. Any suggestions?

OK the somewhat hidden Firmware Recovery built into Kies is not to hard to find,
First you will need to write on a piece of paper your S/N and your Model #, the same way it is written under the battery on the sticker.
Second boot your phone into download mode and connect it to the computer.
Third open Kies, select the tools drop down menu.
Now you have a choice. Select Firmware Emergency Recovery to recover your current firmware version... or select Firmware Upgrade and Initialization to install the latest OTA, either way just fallow the steps on screen and when done your will have a working phone.
hit the thanks button if this helped
Bro you should check the dates out xD thx anyway though

Hello Good people of xda forum
please i have a very big problem at my hand involving my newly acquired galaxy note II, the international version and i was hoping that some of you could help me out here because this is driving me nuts.
My galaxy note II is 2 weeks old and i rooted it 5 days after i got it with Odin and everything seems to work smooth ever since.
My problem now started yesterday when i stupidly went to install the chainfire 3d plugin because i wanted to try my older games that worked better on my qualcomm desire HD that wouldn't work well on my note II and what happened next has left me with sorrows since yesterday evening.
My lovely Note won't boot up anymore. It always gets stuck on the samsung galaxy note II logo. I am on the stock samsung rom.
I have tried everything i could read online to get it working including entering clockworkmod recovery, wiping data, cache, daivik, factory reset, formating sd and external sd card and nothing seems to work.
I have even tried entering odin download mode and downloading a custom firmware to flash but it keeps saying ''downloading'' but never finishes.
I am helpless now and do not want the 619 EURO i paid for this phone to be a waste. I can't return it since it is already rooted and i cannot unroot it in it's current state.
Is there any way for me to copy over the stock rom zip file to the external sd and flash it from there? If yes, can anyone provide me with a stock rom zip file to flash as i cant seem to find it anywhere?
My galaxy note II is the international version, bought at Saturn electronics shop, germany.
I will also admit that i am not so good with the technical stuff so a little explanation could help.
Thanks all.
There are stock roms in the note 2 forum here on XDA. You can boot into CWM recovery and mount your SD card to be able to use on your laptop/PC. If that fails, you can get the Android SDK specifically adb and push it to your internal SD.
I've done the same on my old Galaxy S2, so don't worry it's recoverable! I suggest getting a stock rom and flash via Odin, failing that use the method I mentioned above.
I apologise if I'm unclear, I'm exhausted tonight!

Best thing to try in ur case is make a full wipe and factory reset from recovery then to flash stock rom using odin then to make a wipe again if any problems,this should solve ur problem. Good luck.

Thank you both a lot. I am trying your solutions now. I will post back if it worked.
You both are life savers. My phone is back up and running.
Can't thank you all enough.
Thanks.
Any luck with your Note II ?
You can also download a custom rom , then put it in an external card
Slot it in the phone , do full wipe and flash .

Hello, sorry for late reply. Here is the link you need
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1896696
Search for your country's version of the stock rom and download it.
Download also the odin files included in that first post.
Once you have the stock rom for your country and odin files downloaded, unrar them if they are zipped and place their folders on the desktop or somewhere else you can
easily find them.
Now open odin from the folder you unrared and turn off your phone (your phone shouldn't be connected to the computer at this point).
Once your phone is off. Press and hold simultaneously the volume down button, home key button and the power button. Keep holding them until you
see the samsung logo. Then let go of the buttons and your phone would enter downloading mode.
Now plug in your phone via usb to your computer and a blue light would show on odin with COM written in it.
Now check the box next to PDA and point odin to the tar file contained in the downloaded rom folder you placed on your desktop and hit start on odin.
A progress bar would now show on your phone indicating that odin is flashing your phone with the stock rom.
Once it's finished successfully, it will show on odin "passed" in a green light and your phone should reboot and voila, your phone is now clean as new.
From there, I believe you continue on your own. Now disconnect your pbone and enjoy.
There are also pictures on the link I posted that would explain the process better.
If you any further questions, just ask.
Good luck.

What do you do if you can't get your computer to recognize your phone plugged in the USB? I tried to delete the Samsung Drivers and reinstall but it didn't work. I can get my phone to Odin mode but can not get it to flash.

Friends plese helpme out.. dont wanna turn this phone into a paper weight... '
Its the international GT N7100.. and think its a sudden death situation...
Hi,
I have been a regular visitor of this website and have gained quite a good amount of knowledge through this forum.
I have been with android for the past 2 years and I have loved the android experience.
2 days ago, I read that there was a feature in android whereas the free apps access the internet frequently and use up precious battery power also the paid apps access the google play store in order to verify licenses. Both these kind of apps wakes up itself regularly and this eats up huge amount of battery.
To counter this I was searching for solutions through this website and found that there was an app which could be downloaded and which can handle such kind of scenario. Lucky Patcher. I didn't read the whole thread but I just went ahead and downloaded that app and my phone stopped working minutes after its installation. Upon reading the whole thread I found out that the android phone needs to be rooted in order for that app to work. BIG MISTAKE!
Now my phone is dead. I can start it but it gets stuck on the Samsung Galaxy S3 logo and never goes ahead.
I took the help of this forum to flash a stock ROM of S3 onto my fone using Odin 3.07 and a stock rom downloaded from samsung dash updates dot com.
This is the name of the folder that was downloaded from the website
"Samsung-Updates.com-SGH-T999V_GLW_1_20120818102113_dgbyab64vd"
I tried flashing it using Odin following the procedure but there was nothing happening on the software or on the phone. I kept the phone attached while Odin was "Initialising" for around 4-5 hours. I slept along that time, and when I woke up, it was still there. I was supposed to get "PASS!" on Odin but I didn't get that. I downloaded the previous versions of the stock ROM and tried that but all in vain.
Phone model: SGH-T999V (Wind Mobile, Canada)
Now I can't find a solution to this problem and this is my last resort. By the weekend I will go to one of those mobile stores which I haven't seen in ages, but will have to go there as I am unable to revive back my fone. And I utterly miss using it.
If there is anything any of you guys can help me with, I will be more than happy to reply to any further information you need.
Thank you all for reading, and thanks a million for even thinking of helping me.
God Bless you all.

I can't get in recovery mode (Home+volumeUP+Power). it vibrates once but the screen remains blank.
I can get into downloading mode (Home+volumeDown+Power). which gives me two options, one to continue and the other to cancel.
(May be this helps to determine whether my phone has been bricked or not!)
Using ODIN, the following information is given and is stuck at this only...
"<OSM> KIES_HOME_T999VVLDLL1_T999VYVLDLL1_CL616748_REV04_user_low_ship.tar.md5 is valid.
<OSM> Checking MD5 finished Sucessfully..
<OSM> Leave CS..
<ID:0/005> Odin v.3 engine (ID:5)..
<ID:0/005> File analysis..
<ID:0/005> SetupConnection..
<ID:0/005> Initialzation.."
Usually, if you're stuck.during boot you just need to factory reset. Are you sure you're trying the right way to boot recovery? Hold volume up, home and power, when it vibrates, release power but continue holding volume up and home. Some blue text should flash at the top of the screen (you can let go of all buttons now) and it should boot recovery.
No idea why Odin isn't working. Do you have kies installed? If so, get rid of it, reboot and try again.
You could try flashing CWM or TWRP (see my Sig). Then boot recovery and factory reset or flash a Rom.

Sounds like the drivers are missing. Or you need to run ODIN as administrator

1. Download and install USB Drivers from here: Thanks to @DocHoliday77 for hosting

2. Download and extract ODIN 3.07 from here: Thanks to @DocHoliday77 for hosting

3. Download Stock ROM image (.tar file) from here: Thanks to @DocHoliday77 for hosting

4. Save all open files and reboot computer
5. Boot phone into Download mode (also called ODIN mode) by shutting down the phone and holding Volume Down & Home then pressing Power until it vibrates, still holding Volume Down & Home buttons, until the "Yellow Triangle" screen shows up.
6. Plug phone into computer and open ODIN 3.07 and make sure that only "Auto Reboot" and "F. Reset Time" are checked.
7. Click on the "PDA" button (right side about half-way down), browse for ROM .tar file, click "Open" button.
8. Click "Start" button and watch to "Reset" or "Fail" to show in the 1st square (upper left side),
9. Phone will reboot
10. Leave phone alone for 10mins+ to let all of the first time boot stuff complete.
Good luck with it.

yes, I was doing the right way with the boot recovery. There was a blue text when the SAMSUNG logo flashed, but nothing after that. I let go off the power button while holding the power up and home buttons, but nothing went ahead.
I dont have kies installed. My laptop has a fresh win 7 ultimate installation. I got the usb drivers for samung already installed, it detects the phone everytime on one of the COM ports.
I'll go through the flashing CWM and TWRP. you meant your signature, right?

TI reinstalled the drivers using the Samsung flashing kit that was available here on xda developers.

Yes, in my signature. But the others may still be correct. When you connect and open Odin does it show the port number in the top left area? If not then it's probably a driver issue, even if they're installed. Happens a lot believe it or not. Also try other usb ports on the computer.
If you can flash recovery in Odin though, this is all irrelevant of course! Either way let us know what happens.

Thnaks for this detailed list.
but i know this drill, the only problem being that the phone is not going anywhere after the step where the ODIN has already flashed the file on the phone.
It gets stuck while "Initializing.." I have posted that as an update on my Post.
As KAsp3rd said that I must try running it as an administrator, I might do it tonight and will let you all know what it gave me..
Thanks for all the help..
I think we posted at the same time so did you see my post? Do you remember if Odin had the port number at the top left? In the Odin output it said ID:0, so it may not be seeing the phone.

@DocHoliday77
Yes, it shows the COM port on the top left corner of the ODIN.
I have also uninstalled and reinstalled the driveres several times, but with no effect.. I am thinking the run as administrator is the one thing I havent thought of or tried or seen anywhere on the forum.
I will post the result of that as well by tonight.
And thanks for hosting so many files online. I downloaded the one that was needed for the Stock Firmware.
Ok, and in case you don't know, uninstalling the driver software isn't enough on its own. Go into device manager, right click and either update drivers, or uninstall, then install the new driver package.

Windows, always reboot after uninstalling any drivers.
@DocHoliday77
I tried that thing again. Reinstalled the drivers after uninstalling and rebooting. there is still no response.
I gave it to one of my friends, he tried putting in the recovery file and now the screen says "Installation of the software has been interrupted, please restart to begin"
I'll post the screenshot in the morning now.
Also, @KAsp3rd : I tried running Odin as administrator, but the same thing happened. It used to get stuck at "Initialization"
Any more advices ?

I tried that thing again. Reinstalled the drivers after uninstalling and rebooting. there is still no response.
I gave it to one of my friends, he tried putting in the recovery file and now the screen says "Installation of the software has been interrupted, please restart to begin"
I'll post the screenshot in the morning now.
Also, @KAsp3rd : I tried running Odin as administrator, but the same thing happened. It used to get stuck at "Initialization"
Any more advices ?

Is it the phone that says installation interrupted? When he tried flashing the recovery did he use odin? Did it seem to flash properly?
Something else I don't thonk hss been mentioned is to try a different usb cable. Preferably one thst came with the phone, or another device. (Some cables sold for recharging are not capable of data transfer on these devices).
Also, try all ports on the computer, and unplug all unnecessary peripherals.
If something happened and you got a bad flash, it could be bricked. Can't remember if you tried KAsp3rd's unbrick method already.
Another thing you can try to get recovery installed is to adb shell into the device and using the dd command, dump recovery to the phone. Youll have to have the android sdk installed to do this though.
Its hard to say what's really needed at this point though. Usually if you can get download mode, you can Odin the stock firmware. Most Odin problems are due to driver and cable issues. (Is Windows fully updated?)
Even though you can get download mode, the debrick method may still help, but I'm just not sure. Maybe I'm missing something.....

I have the original cable with me, the one that came with the s3.
he tried using ODIN, but thats as far as I know. He said something about using Kies to flash the rom as well. not sure what.
No, I didn't try KAsp3rd's unbrick method. Could you please guide me where could I find that?
Also, everything you said after this unbrick method simply doesn't make any sense to me. May be some guided instructions would be helpful.
And yes, the windows is fully updated, no issue on that.
Where can I find the unbrick method?
If you want to just search for android sdk. It'll find Google's page for it and instructions. Should also find some good guides on installing and using. All I'd 've doing is searching for then repeating it back to you, so it'll be easier for both of us if you just go to the source. I think it's developer.Google com or something similar.
And she'll basically connects to your phone and allows you to run commands as if you were using the terminal emulator.
The debrick thread is stickies in development.

Hey all...and to answer the number one question, yes I did do A TON of searches already to find a solution...PLEASE HELP if you have the knowledge
Phone Model: Galaxy S III (SPH-L710) Sprint 16gb
Firmware/ROM: All stock and never tried ANY customization
Problem: I think the problem happened when the phone auto updated to 4.3. Now when the phone tries to boot it just boots to the second Samsung "Samsung Galaxy S III" screen, reboots and then will get to the same screen and just sits there. One time I even let it sit there for 30 minutes just to see if it needed the ridiculous amount of time. When I try to get the phone into recovery mode (Volume UP/Home key/then the Power key) it will boot and on the first Samsung "Samsung" screen, in the top left corner in small print, it shows "booting recovery...". Then it will just go strait to the second Samsung screen then keeps rebooting twice before it will just stop on the second Samsung screen again. When I try to get the phone into ODIN mode (Volume DOWN/Home key/then the Power key) it will boot asking me if I'm sure and to press Volume UP to continue. Once I press Volume UP, to continue, I get to ODIN mode. In the top left corner it shows...
ODIN MODE
Product Name: SPH-710
Custom Binary Download: No
Current Binary: Samsung Official
System Status: Official
(all grayed out) Qualcomm Secureboot: ENABLE
Then in the middle of the screen is the little Android guy. Below that it shows, "Downloading..." "Do not turn off target!!". And it just sits there doing nothing else.
I'm pretty sure I have done everything I could possible do to get it working again. From what I understand there may be other things I can do. Worse case scenario, if I must, I would be willing to loose everything on the phone and start over from scratch, if that's even possible.
There has to be some VERY smart people on here that can help me. This is my wife's phone and we don't have an upgrade until May...PLEASE HELP. Thanks all!!!
Okay 1st go to sammobile.com and download the firmware for d2att also you will need Odin I think it's 3.04. You can search odin on xda there are a few guides to use then put phone in download mode and use odin to flash the firmware, everything u need to follow is posted in sgsIII development forum

I already downloaded latest versions of both. It states, from phone off and unplugged, start phone using ODIN/download route then immediately plug into PC then open ODIN and click the button....but I cant get that far because ODIN app on PC never recognizes the phone to be able to do so.
I'm now starting to get very discouraged because i'm seeing in some places that the device needs to be put into USB debugging mode. Please tell me this isn't true. Because there has never been any reason to put the phone into USB debug mode.
Can someone please confirm this. I'm really crossing my finger that there is a way to do this without needing to be in USB debug mode...PLS PLS PLS!!!
Thanks for your reply

You have to plug the device in from download mode AFTER Odin is running. So, phone in download mode, start Odin, then plug in. Before you go that far are you letting go of the buttons when trying to get to recovery as soon as you seen 'recovery starting' in the top left corner or are you still holding them? If you do not let go the device will continue to attempt a normal boot. If you can get into recovery and do a factory restore it very well may solve your boot issue.
