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.

[Q] Totally Screwed!!

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.

in download mode does it say n7100 in product code?
what you need to do if you will be using a pit file is use a factory emergency rom. sadly most the links are down.
i have a MJ9 Emergency rom from india which is 4.3. i will try upload it when i get home in 8 to 9 hours to mega.nz if that is ok.
what i have done is replaced the MJ9 bootloader with MJ5 in that firmware.
if you can't wait, you need a firmware that has BL,AP, CP and CSC all split so you can put them in all the boxes. if i get a chance at lunch i might try find a pre uploaded link for you. just remain calm and don't start flashing stuff randomly
I have searched and searched online and cant seem to nail down a solution to this issue.
My Download Screen displays:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: GT-N7100
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: NO
CURRENT BINARY: SAMSUNG OFFICIAL
SYSTEM STATUS: CUSTOM
I hope that my Note II is not bricked. I have tried 100's of times with stock, custom recovery's, CWM, I get some kind of error no matter what I do.
my Sammy just doesn't want to work with me.
I hope that we can put together a solution.

to both you guys:- what bootloader are you on/were you on? Kenneth I think you've taken your bootloader above MJ5 as you say your warranty bit is 1. you can't downgrade bootloader at all! flashing the MJ5 bootloader with the file I've uploaded won't help. you will only get FAIL in odin. you need to tell me which bootloader you've been to so I can try arrange a package for you if I can.
Teckin, I need you to answer the above too

First off thanks for your help. Here's the deal I had this installed: DN3_v3.2_by_E-Team_(Vegeta_Edition) Thats a Jelly Bean for the past 2 month's so what ever bootloader works with that is what it had. I was tying to flash an OEM KK: BL_N7100XXUEMJ5_1903221_REV04_user_low_ship.tar I figured we'll since I have this problem let me flash DN5 but in oder to do this I would have to upgrade my bootloader KK that's why I flashed this BL_N7100XXUEMJ5_1903221_REV04_user_low_ship.tar Now I say again The problem was not a result of flashing. My wife was using Skype while on the DN3 and it froze she pushed the wake button once or twice it went black and then gave the reboot logo that I mentioned above. So then I proceeded to try to flash to fix and upgrade in the process. And it gave me the odin results above No PIT Partition
https://mega.co.nz/#!5ZlXFbrR!GoNuuuDwKrp3QG8X7p4eV5v5ViOZR51kXgTtcptkGBo
here's the file I've uploaded.
you may well still have taken the device to MJ5 only.
flash all files in here at the same time using odin. let me know how you get on?
I find this method works best for me:
phone is off, load odin, load all the files in, pit, bl, ap, cp, csc no messing around with any ticking other boxes. AP will probably cuase odin to crash for a few seconds when loading just let it do its thing.
then put phone into download mode( I put battery in hold down, menu and power) if the drivers have been installed using that port previous it finds the device in odin instantly and i start the process.
If your flash is successful but doesn't load rom, your data might need to be wiped. i mean if your device is has been stuck on a Samsung screen for 10 minutes after odin said everythings fine don't panic. take battery out, go into recovery (volume up+menu+power) and then wipe data. it should now load the rom.

Do you think I should check erase nand I won't do it till some body who I trust tells me I should don't want things worse.
Ok so here is the deal on my GT-N7100. I bought it this way, but have not been able to flash it back to stock to start from scratch. so to answer your question, I have NO CLUE.
Seller told me that It would only boot into dl screen with usb...So I thought hmm I can re-flash it with stock software and move forward from that point.

Ok so here is the deal on my GT-N7100. I bought it this way, but have not been able to flash it back to stock to start from scratch. so to answer your question, I have NO CLUE.
Seller told me that It would only boot into dl screen with usb...So I thought hmm I can re-flash it with stock software and move forward from that point.
Thank you all for the suggestions!

don't click erase.
mate i think you've flashed a new bootloader than MJ5 hence why it fails at that stage.
i am checking to see if i can get hold of a kitkat rom for you that's split to so you can flash pit.
i have never tried it with kitkat mate. plus i don't use odin to flash anymore. i use my octoplus box so files are in a .oct format
Sorry for delay in replying.
again i think youhave a newer bootlaoder if it shows warranty bit.

i dont think it makes a difference to be honest as i think it just uses the same type of way to push it.
i have a silly question to ask you.
what happens if you flash http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/n7100//philz_touch_6.41.6-n7100.tar.md5
in ap only without pit ofcourse.
does odin allow you to do this?

check this thread out if he has a z3x (wish i had got that instead of octoplus)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/general/samsung-s3-i9300-note2-n7100-i9500-s4-t2647558
i have found PIT_N7100XXUENA1_N7100OJVENA1_N7100XXUENA3_Taiwan_Android_4.3
which includes all the files an oct file. if your mate has another box he might be able to find something similar along the lines?
I tried that file as well. Still same issue. I did talk with a guy that does jtag services and he advised me that it's either the eMMC or motherboard issue. He wants to sell me a eMMC Flash service for $75.00. What do you guys think I should do....

We're you able to find the KK files for the N7100 odin flashable? and a little off topic here but I have been dabbling with the idea of unlocking cells. I live in the Dominican Republic and cells here are mostly GSM wondering if you we're to purchase 3 box's to do the widest range of phones which 3 would you buy and from where? Sorry everybody for the off topic.

that's note a bad price for the service i'd say. they have to use a rework station to pull the emmc off and then reball the new one on. however i'd suggest you try flashing a new firmware on first. i will try to dig a new firmware out for you to try but if they keep failing then the only route is emmc and make sure they load a firmware below 4.3 knox free if you want custom roms again

[Q] Note 2 doesn't start anymore

Hi there,
I hope that somebody can help me.
My Galaxy Note 2 stopped working all of the sudden. It was running without any problems when it suddenly restarted without a reason. Since then it does not boot anymore, any attempt ends on the screen where it shows "Samsung Galaxy Note II GT-N7100". The only chance to switch it off after this is removing the battery. The phone was not rooted, it was running stock Android 4.3 before the crash.
Pressing Home and Volume-up during power-on doesn't show the menu so I'm not able to do a factory reset. Instead it shows the android robot and the text "Downloading... Do not turn off target!!"
I was hoping to have a chance to get a copy of the data of the internal memory so I followed the instructions to install the "Heimdall suite". When I start the phone in download mode (or what's left of it) I get the following responses to Heimdall commands:
Code:
C:\Note-2\Heimdall Suite>heimdall detect
Device detected
Code:

Downloading device's PIT file...
ERROR: Failed to receive PIT file size!
ERROR: Failed to download PIT file!
To make sure my setup is correct I've tested it with with a working Galaxy S3 which doesn't give me the error messages after the second command.
Is there any way to get access to the data that is stored on the internal memory?
The phone is still under warranty so if there is a way to get access I'd prefer one that doesn't void the warranty...
Thank you very much for any hint!
Regards -- Markus
Battery buy a new one... I had the same prob awhile back Connected to the charger it would fully boot but as soon as you pull the cable it will power off then be stuck at Samsung logo till you pull the battery.
I borrowed a battery to test and sure enough and then ordered one.

That sounds like a corrupted .pit file. You'll have to research more on your own, but I think you'll have to flash a new .pit file, then flash the stock ROM.
P.S. If you have a warranty, why don't you use it? lol.

Seems like a similar issue as the guy above. Your download isn't corrupted based on the successful MD5 check. I'll try and research more into your issue.

Hello Irwenzhao,
thanks for replying.
I haven't rooted my phone yet and so I'm not familiar with flashing, so please excuse my questions. I've read pretty much about flashing in the last few days and (as far as I've understood) flashing things to my phone will erase my data from the phone.
My problem is that I've accidentally stored data on the internal memory instead of the external SD-card . SInce I didn't realize that before the crash there's some stuff on the phone I'd like to have back if this is possible.
Of course I will use the warranty to have the phone repaired but my data will most likely be gone from the phone when I get it back.
That's the reason why I'm trying to find out if there's a way to access the internal memory of my phone before having it repaired.
Cheers -- Markus

Your data should be (probably) gone. I highly doubt the possibility that a method to access your internal storage exists. It could be just a bad motherboard. Just let the Samsung Service Centre folks do their job, nothing much you can do.
P.S. your files may already be gone. (unfortunately)

there is a pit file here for N7100 16gb
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1927983
extract it and flash in odin. that's the file i used when i messed up with my partition and my phone doesn't boot.
this is the exact problem we had last month with our note 2, working fine then bang.
I tried everything but was unable to revive the machine.
Samsung repaired the phone under warranty even though it was over two years old, a new mainboard was fitted as the emmc chip had failed.
Give them a call you have nothing to lose at this point, our phone was gone for a total of 3 working days.

[Q] Need Help Unbricking AT&T I747

Unlike the other threads I've read here so far, I wasn't upgrading or downgrading anything on my phone. Last night, I was playing Scrabble (lol) and the phone blacked out and now won't power on. I've tried booting to Download mode and can't even do that. The battery was running low at the time, but that's normal for late at night. I believe I had about 9% battery.
The symptoms of my phone are now:
When I have the battery installed, plugging in the charger doesn't seem to do anything (no charging light).
When I remove the battery, plugging in the charger lights the LED as red for 90 seconds.
Plugging the phone into my computer via USB (without battery), the phone connects (as a device for which I do not have drivers) for 90 seconds (same duration as the red light) and then disconnects.
If I hold the power button in for 12-13 seconds (without battery with charger connected), the red light will go out. As soon as I release the power button, the red light comes back on and the 90-second timer restarts. If I have the phone connected to my computer while trying this, the phone disconnects when the red light goes out and reconnects to the computer (as the same device from above) when I release the power button.
Overnight, I left the phone (with battery) plugged in hoping to fully charge the battery and that would somehow miraculously bring my phone back to life this morning -- it did not. Unknown if the battery is fully charged now or not.
Any suggestions on what I might try next?
See if this helps:

Lithium ion batteries are at their least stable when they're low on charge like you indicated yours was. How old is your battery? Does it have any bulges you can see or feel? If you put in on a table and flick it on the corner does it spin around? The spin test is by no means conclusive that a battery won't function, but it is indicative of some damage. My original Samsung battery spins like a top, but it still holds a charge and makes an ok backup in a pinch. If you know someone else with a working S3 try their battery in your phone. Otherwise, if there is a Batteries Plus or somewhere like that convenient, pop in and try a replacement. Most replacement batteries I've bought for phones or cameras usually come partially charged so you can probably test it right in store; the guys in the stores might know a thing or two as well as a lot of battery shops have started replacing phone screens and batteries that aren't as readily removable like that other variety of smartphone.
The debrick threads suggested above are a good idea too, but like you pointed out, those are usually for people who tried to downgrade our wonderful secure bootloaders.
If none of that pans out, a repair shop might be able to jtag it back to life.
Good luck.
Update
I was reading this unbrick thread and downloaded this debrick img for I747U. I applied the debrick img to a 32GB microSD card and I got the phone to at least do something. What I see is:
Code:
[COLOR="Lime"]BOOT RECOVERY MODE[/COLOR]
CHECK BOOT PARTITIONS..
COPY FROM T-FLASH..
WRITE 159488 SECTORS..
[COLOR="Red"]FLASH WRITE FAILURE
ODIN MODE[/COLOR]
PRODUCT NAME: SGH-I747
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: No
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: NONE
[COLOR="Silver"]QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE[/COLOR]
[COLOR="Red"]Warranty Bit: 1[/COLOR]
[COLOR="Silver"]BOOTLOADER RP SWREV: 2[/COLOR]
I can now see the phone in ODIN when I connect with USB.
So, I read this thread, which led me to this thread, which led me to download the I747UCUEMJB 4.3 Odin flashable tar, however, I cannot seem to flash it with ODIN. I was running MJB before the phone died.
I'm kinda lost on where to go from here.
Maybe try flashing a customr recovery and a custom ROM to at least get your phone booted.
I highly recommend Philz Touch for the d2lte.

I'm hoping to reflash the stock rooted MJB so I don't lose everything that I had on the phone.

So, I read this thread, which led me to this thread, which led me to download the I747UCUEMJB 4.3 Odin flashable tar, however, I cannot seem to flash it with ODIN. I was running MJB before the phone died.
I'm kinda lost on where to go from here.

When I try and flash with the file above with ODIN v3.07, I get:

At the same time, I get two additional lines on the screen of the phone:

Looking inside the .tar.md5, I do see a PIT file in there.

Flashing via Odin is almost guaranteed to require a full wipe to boot.

As I understand it, flashing via ODIN will only remove my data if I flash the data partition, which this tar.md5 does not have, so I should be good. Even the emergency firmware recovery within Kies doesn't overwrite the data partition (as I found out when recovering my S II a while back).
Do you have any insight as to my post above and why ODIN is giving me the PIT errors or what I should be doing differently to get ODIN to flash my phone?

Re-partition is unchecked?
I get the same error in Odin3 with Re-Partition checked and unchecked.
You used a debrick image for the i747u? Did you try an i747 de-brick image?
I'm going to try and revive this thread (yes, after years). I'm trying to get this phone to work and forgot that I was having problems long ago. :-( I do not care about the data on the phone, I just want to flash a stock image. Any advice is much appreciated.

I've come to believe now that my internal SD card has died. All attempts I've made to flash, whether with ODIN or Miracle Thunder have failed. I get a bunch of errors on the screen talking about errors reading or writing firmware/flash. I even tried doing a nand erase with ODIN and that failed. Unless someone has a better idea, I believe the device has hardware damage.

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.
