[Q] Phone Wont Turn On After System Update - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

Yesterday I got a notification for a system update, so I selected install but after the install the phone rebooted and never gets past the Galaxy SIII screen. I am able to start the phone in both download mode, and recovery mode. I've tried using Odin and the tar file, but after it says Pass the installation is unsuccessful. I know this is a common problem, with the 16GB L710 SIII's, but have never found a solution. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

[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.
have you tried this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1828152

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 recently brought a tmobile unlocked, Samsung galaxy s3, T999.
I tried to upgrade firmware with samsung keis, but it stucked at 0.
Then I tried, Emergency Firmware Recovery, it also got stuck.

Then i wasnt able to turn on wifi, SIM not detected, etc.
Then I wiped all data, reset the phone.
It didnt goto the home screen, stuck at loading(with that google 4 colord dots).
I could ONLY access, Recovery Mode and Download mode properly.

Do you have the T999 or the T999L model? Check before making any other procedures since it seems you've done many without knowing exactly what you were doing.
Also, stop making multiple threads about the same issue. Apparently, you made 4 threads discussing about the same issue.

[Q] ATT SGH-I313 Note 2 bricked/soft brick issues

So I have an Att Note 2, which is bricked or soft bricked. I am a very rookie Android guy when it comes to modifying or hacking. I did root my Note 2 with Cyanogenmod. However, I missed S Note and the use of my S Pen so I researched a bit to get back to stock with the use of Odin and stock roms found on the net. I was successful, and actually amazed it worked. Long story short, a few days after that, an OTA update hit my phone, didn't even think about it and began the download. The phone downloaded the update, and rebooted to complete the install. The problem is, during reboot, the phone got stuck on the "Samsung Galaxy Note II" screen. I researched a bit online, and everyone said get to recovery mode and do a few things. Problem is, I can't get into recovery mode, I can only get the screen described above, and the download screen, THAT IS ALL. Looked a bit more online and attempted to flash various stock roms with Odin. Some were successful, Odin passed, and the phone would get stuck on the Note II screen again, and would not boot into recovery mode, same issue with only being able to access download mode. The unsuccessful flash attempts got me to screen informing me that Kies needs to be used to update my firmware. Kies showed a recovery code, which was downloaded, but unsuccessful. It would download all the way, but at the end of install, it would fail. Funny thing is it would work enough to get me back to the ability to get into download mode. I just want my Note 2 working again. Is there any way to wipe my phone completely clean, and start over? Or is there any way to even re-root it, or flash any sort of rom on there, just so I can use the damn thing? I need some help by you pros out there ! Please!

Try flashing a recovery for ur device with Odin, not a ROM, just flash twrp recovery with Odin, after u flash the recovery u will be able to access recovery and flash a stock ROM through twrp. I think what happened to u is when u flashed the update it tried to right over the unlocked bootloader which caused the soft brick, try flashing the recovery for ur device and if that doesn't work try the above posters way...

SGH-i317 Bootlogo Stuck

Hey guys, recently I bricked my Samsung Note 2 (SGH-i317). I had the phone rooted, and accidently updated it. Guessing I made a big mistake :I . After the update the phone wasn't able to start back up. It's been stuck at the boot logo, where it says "Samsung Note II". I am unable to get the phone into recovery mode, but i can get the phone in download mode. With the phone in download mode, and using odin i tried a few times to boot in a recovery. Nothing seemd to fix the problem. After reading the formes a while, i tried to boot in a Pit file and also tried complete stock firmware from SamMobile. Neither of them had a change with the problem. Any ideas what might be causing the problem, and or how to fix it?

- Download from http://d-h.st/CDK
I317UCUBMK6-TZ-PARAM.zip
- Extract the I317UCUBMK6-TZ-PARAM.zip file to get to I317UCUBMK6-TZ.tar.md5
It has two files in the I317UCUBMK6-TZ-PARAM.zip. You should only need the I317UCUBMK6-TZ.tar.md5.
I kept both files in there, in rare case you will need to flash the param file.

Bootloops After ODIN back to Stock Firmware

Hi guys,
I have the t-mobile s6 edge
After messing around with my device last night and this morning, I decided to go back to stock for a bit.
I have ODIN 3.10.6. I went into download mode on my phone. extracted the stock firmware from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6-edge/general/sm-g925f-s6-firmware-thread-t3078841
loaded the "G925TUVU1AOCG_G925TTMB1AOCG_G925TUVU1AOCG_HOME.tar.md5" file into the ap box for odin
connected my phone to computer, odin recognized it. hit start. ran successfully. rebooted, android guy came up briefly and said installing system update, then it changed to "Erasing..." then it rebooted again
now it's just bootloops forever after the tmobile screen. I can boot to recovery and it says installing system update each time I boot to recovery, but selecting reboot system there shows a no command error. force the phone to power off... power on again to bootloops.
tried to go into download mode again and reflash everything through odin, same issue!
I started last night by rooting using chainfire, then installing TWRPv2, then I flashed the 5.1.1 ROM available from @eousphoros (sorry for the tag, just thought you might want to be apprised of the issues in getting back to stock after using the 5.1.1 ROM).
with 5.1.1 loaded, smart switch didn't recognize the phone for a reset so I decided to go with the ODIN method and now i'm in bootloop city
any help would be greatly appreciated

You probably need to do a factory reset
In the future you should make a full backup before installing a rom

AHH!! Sorry to have made this post... here's what I did to get it actually boot:
reflahed the stock firmware through odin again, tried to reboot, it failed, obviously. rebooted to recovery, factory reset in recovery, power down option in recovery, then turned the phone on again and it magically worked!
hopefully this post will help someone who encountered the same issue

I had the same excat same thing happen when flashing this via Odin. I didnt need to Odin stock twice though . I just booted stock recovery and did a factory reset. After that I went ahead an powered down and rebooted . All good now
How long did you have to wait in the stock recovery to get past the "installing system update" screen? Mine just sits there and I'm unable to view other options in recovery.
EDIT for noobs (like me): wait 30 seconds on the "installing system update" screen.
I'm still stuck in boot loop
Im in the same exact situation , but I'm still stuck in boot loop. I followed your restore instructions and nothing. Please help.

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.
