I was gifted an S3 with known issues(primarily battery and speed related). I backed it up and then performed a factory reset from settings. The sucker has yet to boot past the second samsung screen. I tried ODIN &it did not take. I can access recovery and download mode tho.

Odin might not have recognized it because it may be missing correct drivers. so download kies and get the drivers from that.

kies; will do
I just finished ODIN again
The result was a pass and it took 10 minutes to flash... How long does it usually take to reboot into Android after the flash?.... it has already been 6 minutes
Give it at least 10 min. If it's still hanging at boot, factory reset.

Yes, here is the link for a TWRP (custom recovery) flashable. Please note this is not the very latest TWRP. The latest version's link is failing to download as of this post. You can put that .tar file on ODIN's PDA section and flash away. Once inside, select Wipe, then Advanced Format and proceed to wipe clean the device as in selecting /data, /cache, /system, Dalvik Cache and Internal Memory (internal SD). Why the internal SD? Because sometimes the device requires a full factory reset in order to begin working again (or just select Format Data option and write yes). From there try to reset to Download Mode and try flashing your device model's latest ODIN image by putting it on the PDA section. (for example, model T999 latest is named "T999UVUENC2_T999TMBENC2_T999UVUENC2_HOME.tar.md5")
Thank you so much!

If you cannot flash the factory ROM from Samsung using ODIN...then you might have a hardware problem in your hands. Could be the flash memory on the motherboard went bad.

Running a whole ROM? Not as far as I know. I haven't seen anything like that in the S3 forums. You said you tried with ODIN, with the correct drivers and it still doesn't pick it up. Plus partition errors at TWRP. Hmm.. @DocHoliday77 what do you think? Does this sound like a hardware problem?
I agree

That's a very personal decision. For example, I prefer phones with removable batteries, so both Samsung and LG fit the bill but both are slow with official updates. In the end, all manufacturers have their ups and downs. It's all up to you. I'm also thinking on the Nexus 5 but only because it's easy to open up and replace the battery (watching the ifixit teardown page).
here's a whole thread on opinions. might be useful.

Hi i'm in the same situation, i cleared my internal storage, how did you sent the backup file without access into android?
Is there a way to push the file from twrp? bootloader or stock recovery?
Thanks in advance.
Hmm I don't know guys if You are screwing up with the wipes or if really it bootloops, I tested it and had no issues

Go to bootloader and try tutorial for back to stock
For anyone with bootlop and cleared internal storage, use usb otg and flash twrp recovery, i was able to mount usb and restore from there.

Is there a possibility that the backup it's somehow linked to your phone has it was saving some type of serial ID or something because mine enter bootloop just before i was beginning to configurate has i said i thought it could be resolved with a data and cache erase but the recovery it's the stock one and erase all the phone... why don't you tray uploading another backup but with root and twrp? Anyone else succeeded with these backup?
did a twrp backup but hwen i connect the phone to the computer i don't see the TWRP folder in my internal storage, any idea?
The folder does appear on your phone?

Same problem – wifi don't work. It's boot okay one time, but hangs after turning on wifi. After that i have bootloop (shows "launch applications" notify and reboot). Looks like radio problem. In fastboot mode Baseband shows nothing.
Check Baseband on your phone. I think problem is in radio, that It's not backed up with TWRP.
I just updated TWRP to make sure I was up to date with everything. I am trying to update to the latest OOS but any time I try to flash anything I keep getting error code 7.
Did you flash the right TWRP for your model (3 or 3T)?

Yes I made sure it was for the 3. I was getting this error before I updated recovery. I thought maybe I had to update it and the error would go away

You don't need to. You are wiping a system partition not a data one. There is no personal data on system.
Good Afternoon.
A question for you guys, every time i try to wipe my current rom and flash another custom rom, or an update to the current rom on my begonia (with cfw installed), my damn internal storage gets encrypted, so ive got no choice but to format it, or else i can't access it, which is a major pain...
Do you guys know of a way to prevent this??
I'm running twrp recovery with cfw support.
And am pretty sure i'm not f-ing up with the rom installation instructions...

Hi, If you setup the lockscreen on your ROM you will encrypt the internal storage and TWRP will ask you the password to decrypt it.
If u remove the lockscreen before entering recovery you won't have to decrypt the internal storage.
Thanks but some kind souls on discord helped me out, using a disable encryption zip fixed it.

i have managed to turn on the phone. my internal storage isnt wiped. just the data. so i am setting up my accounts etc.
i can see tha tmy inernal storage that is used, is 215 gb. so my data is there. but they are not accessible. because they seem to be decryptewd from the module i guess.
is there any way i can get back my data so that i can back up, and then i can hard format the phone?
when i open the files appliucation, it doesnt even show my internal folders. nothing.
this is really strange

In TWRP, mount Data and using the in-built File Manager, check inside /data/media/0 (this is where your Internal Storage is located)
Is your password intact btw?

This is why i hate android's "security"
well, i've follow every single tutorial on a32 4g's xda page, even tried some youtube ones, but my phone just WON'T boot GSIs
it is not an a325F like most people, it's an a325M (the difference is that a325M support more LTE frequencies),
Well, i install samsung stock firmware, then install TWRP, run multidisabler, then format data, then reboot again, then factory reset and then finally installing the GSI as an .img file applied to System Image
that was the first method i tested, i tested many others, with no sucess
what happens, you may ask? the phone starts, show samsung logo with the classic warning above it, and after 3 secs it restarts.... a literal bootloop
can you guys help me? im tired of samsung's stock ONE UI, it's sooooo laggy
i've tried CrDroid, RiceDroid, Lineage with no success
i will try using DSU, ill return here later
installed the GSI using DSU sideloader w/ magisk, lets see if it boots
HEH didn't boot..... wtf is wrong with this phone???
i even tested GOOGLE'S OFICIAL GSI and it DIDNT BOOT.... yeah this phone is ****ted

doesn't work, even with no magisk it just bootloops
you know what, **** it, i had enough with this phone, guess ill just install normal ONE Ui and debloat it... the phone literally doesn't accept any GSI and bootloops, not even using android's own DSU system
Factory reset doesn't mean system wipe, it just means a data wipe. It goes back to Samsung's boot animation because OneUI is still installed.
Wipe Dalvik/ART Cache, System, Data and Cache and try again.
Have you also checked what kind of GSI your phone supports? Maybe it's A-Only, maybe it's AB.
