[Q] Challenge - Fix my screw up. - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

I'd be super impressed if anyone can find an easy fix and super thankful. I've been trying everything like an idiot for ever now.
I have a SGH-I747m with Telus on which I accidentally flashed D2mtr for METRO PCS. So my S3 now things it's an SCH-R530m. And I can't flash anything on it now. Nothing works. I keep getting Error 7. I tried TWRP I tried CMR. And now it won't boot it goes on a loop.
I have TWRP installed and can still access the download mode.
Kies does nothing.
Help?
Counting on the geniuses! :crying:

Did you try using Odin to flash a stock ROM?

[Q] I'm stuck. Have tried everything.

Hi all,
I'm on Rogers GS3 (i747m)
I've searched and searched. I cannot find a fix to my problem.
Last night I downloaded the AOKP 10.16 update and was trying to flash it above my 10.03.
It gave me an error while flashing, but then the phone would boot and stay stuck at the glowing samsung logo.
I downloaded the stock rogers rom and tried to flash it using oding. Same thing would happen, glowing samsung logo.
I was finally able to flash a recovery image but now it won't recognize my internal sd and keeps telling me that there was an error mounting external sd. I can't format /data because of that.
When I try to flash another recovery through Odin 3.07, it keeps telling me "Odin downloader has stopper working." With Odin 1.85, it says "Odin communicator has stopped working."
I'm about to give up. Will keep searching. But I'm losing hope at this point.

Try this toolkit. It may help you. You can also try to flash twrp recovery. And do you have a nandroid backup?

any solution
hello, has anyone found a solution to this "odin has stopped working"? i have a gnex that has bad "volume down" and "power" buttons. so if my phone dies i usually charge it and then flash a recovery via odin to boot it back up without having to redo my whole phone. now everytime i try to use any version odin, the program crashes. i've seen a lot of people with this issue lately but since i do not have working buttons, odin is the only way i can boot my phone. please help ps. i know i don not have a s3 but i am going through the same issue and i need the odin to work so i can fix a s3 as well.

Whenever I get stuck at the Samsung logo boot animation, I reboot into recovery, factory reset, reboot into download mode and flash again with Odin. Works every time.

i was using version 3.07 from the toolkit. yes , i was trying not to lose my data. after trying all night, i was able to load a stock image and bring my phone back. all data was lost but at least my phone is working. i guess i just need to stop being cheap and get another phone but, we all know the outrages prices guys charge for phones on craigslist. does anyone know if the gnex is available through google still?

[Q] Stuck on boot logo, no matter what??

Ok, so I flashed a MIUI port for the AT&T Note 2, and it was disgusting...it crashed everything, and needless to say I ended up stuck at the boot logo for a long time. FINALLY managed to get it to flash via Odin...so I flashed Stock Rom...and now it's stuck on Samsung logo...Ok..so I go flash CWM...do a wipe and everything, and install CM10.1 via that...stuck at CM logo. I've left each ROM plugged in, stuck on boot screen for over 20-30 minutes each. I'm at a loss of what to do. Could I need to flash a kernel? or am I missing something obvious? The good news, I guess, is with a few steps, I can get into DL mode and use Odin, and I can flash CWM and get into that..but I can't inject anything into my phone so CWM can use it, I only have what's there now, which is CM10.1. I'm so mad...I've never had too many issues with ROMs but this one jacked things up badly...guess that's what I get for using a port even though it noted that everything was working now. Anyway...does anyone have any advice?
Edit: I flashed CWM, and tried to clear cache/dalvik then factory reset...the first two worked...as soon as I hit factory reset, that's where the screen goes black and it resets...it's like it just refuses to do it. I'm seriously at a loss here. Is it toast?
Edit again: sorry but I'm trying more to give more info. I went into CWM and went to advanced and started formatting one by one...it's when you hit format /data that it immediately dies and restarts. So..something weird is going on there. Can I use a PIT file for this phone, if it exists, to reformat and just get it going? I'm desperate...

[Q] Help Stuck in bootloader.

Before anyone says anything I have searched the forms and have not found anything quite like my situation. My note two was running CM 11 and I flashed back to stock no problem. However once i was running on stock i tried to run an OTA update. That ran fine and after it was stuck at the Samsung Galaxy note 2 screen and would not load. I am only able to get into download mode. I have tried re flashing the rom multiple times with odin. However nothing seems to work. I am still Stuck in the boot loader. I have read some forums that suggested I try re flashing the pit file. But I am not very experienced in dealing with that. Anything helps Thanks.

Soft brick that wont go away - stock firmware uneffective

So my issue is pretty similar, see what you guys think. i been trying everything i can think of.
i updated from xtrestolite 2.1 to 2.2 with out wiping. everything worked fine except when i would make calls, the other people could not hear me. so i updated the bootloader and modem again (i had done it before) and the problem persisted. i flashed back to stock and was getting stuck at the s6 edge screen. the only way to get around this was and get my phone to boot was to flash aou kernel. i was still having a similar issue with calling so I download a modem from a diffrent server and all of a sudden, it was working again on stock firmware... AWESOME!
now that i had all that done and my phone working as it should, i reset my phone for the first time and i got the FRP lock, wont boot phone because custom kernel. GREAT
I then flashed stock of6 again, the tar ball, and the 4 piece version. no dice
i then found of8, tried to flash that still no dice.
id love to flash twrp and load a rom on, but FRP is a alsjdflajs.
the phone will flash successfully, but upon reboot, it will go into recovery, run its course, reboot, and get stuck that the galaxy s6 edge screen.
i use the vol and power click during recovery to see what its doing and everything seems to go fine. it will then say failed to mount /data. im hoping flashing this with the pit file will work, but i cannot download the pit file from my work computer (hahah its blocks on 4shard and mega).
anyone have any other advice? i will update if i figure it out.
Regards team,
-Mad
p.s. none of this is xtrestolite's fault, that rom has been nothing but good to me.. my phone has been picky though. after 5.1.1 i had to flash a custom kernel in order for the digitizer to function properly.... any help is appriciated guys.
SO UPDATE!
nothing good, i tried the pit with of6 and of8, no dice. still stuck.
anyone got a s6 edge w a broken screen? you can claim it lost for all i care.
no one?
i guess if anything past flash stock firmware people dont know? was hoping for alittle more insight.
im sure if i could flash a kernel i could get it to turn on, but FRP has be at bay...
no help for you bro...Samsung just needs to release there software fixing for this comunity...I'm looking a for a dev to answer my question in this section about just flashing zip files in twrp instead of using odin or whatever other methods that can avoid all these problems that are all similar...hopefully in next few months it will be addressed
Hey mate, try this...

holy... fu34%# /S45it.... IT BOOT?!
after flashing every firmware 100000 times...
THANK YOU!
I initially used odin to flash OI1 update, after a rom I was using caused problems and I got bootloop. It changed bootloader value to b:3 and I'm unable to downgrade now so I used smart switch which didn't recognize device so used emergency recovery and still bootloop. I have factory reset and wipe cache multiple times along with adb side load and individual flashes of bootloader, modem, kernel, flashed custom kernel and twrp to access fix permissions and to mount partitions with advanced wipe etc and still wont boot past logo. Also during one fix attempt phone said can't mount system.. Idk I'm not understanding where the problem is .everything says successful but I'm still in bootloop. Please help. I've spent hours everyday for the past week searching & trying different things that seem might help so open to any suggestions.

V410 7.0 LTE bricked

Ok guys I am pretty sure I fubar'd my tablet.
I am stuck in a recovery loop. When I start the tablet it just goes back into recovery. Which if I still had TWRP I think I could still do something, but I flashed cyanogen recovery trying to flash cm13 since I cold not get anything else to work. I cannot boot into download/firmware update screen. The screen just flickers a little and goes dark.
A little background:
Started when tablet forced install of 5.0 update and I was in a recovery loop. I flashed 410 test build, rooted, flashed twrp, installed stock rooted ROM. Everything was fine. Then tablet did it again, this time I just flashed rooted ROM and factory reset. Even took the steps to fix the white lines and storage issues. Was working fine. Got home a few days ago and I was in a recovery loop again. But now I don't have the bootloader screen/download mode/firmware update screen (whatever you want to call it) so last night i tried to download cm13, Gapps and cyanogen recovery with no avail.
I can access adb on my PC while in recovery, but when I try to access ADB shell I get unauthorized something or other. Because I cannot authorize USB debugging, because ROM won't boot. I tried to flash stock rooted ROM from cyanogen recovery and it says not signed or something like that.
Does anyone have any ideas? I really think I have screwed the pooch here.

if you have a stock recovery image flashing it is easy, i had a LOT of troubles with my v410 and still am working with it. i have mine rooted, just with TWRP though, i cant use xposed framework, which negates why i rooted this in the first place. anyway, through much grit and determination flash your stock image after wiping what needs to be wiped and doing all other necessary things. Then, you must download kingo root, supersu, superuser. flashify would help with the flashing i hear, but it has troubles with the v410. kingo root was an apk i managed to find buried under a million viruses on the 34th page of google..or something. rooted mine in one click, from stock to reboot to twrp root.. many glitches.
I need help myself, deleted my "Phone" system app, causing me to lose connectivity with my data plan. cant seem to restore it, and flashify nor twrp has been able to flash a custom recovery, or a backup, im at a loss.
Help? We seek the same thing.
Ok but how do I flash the stock recovery image. I can't use fastboot. ADB says I am unauthorized.

I am at a complete loss. I am by no means a developer, but I do know my way around. I really think I have FUBAR'd this one.
Kind of stinks, I give up. Anyone want a bricked v410?
