Hi all,
A work mate has a S3 GT-I9300 sold debranded in the UK, rooted to what I think was CWC, can't remember now and for some reason his phone has deleted everything and decided it's going to get stuck at boot.
He says can't access the recovery section on the phone so clearing the cache and factory reset is out of the question, he can access download mode though, I've told him to put it into download mode and sent him a link to the latest firmware to download (I9300XXEMC2_I9300OXAEMC2_BTU according to sammobile), he loads it into Odin correctly but gets a error saying "write operation failed".
I've told him to try a old odin and it says can't open com port, so any help would be greatly appreciated trying to clear this up.
Sadly I don't have the phone on me, but I'll be having a look at it myself within the next few days.
Try change usb cable or usb port

why post here when the obvious place for this thread is the Help section?

ok so just a little background, i have rooted droid incredibles, droid x, droid x2, hp touchpad, a few iphones and ipod touches, and some other odds and ends, so i am not a super noob or anything...
but here goes I recently acquired a samsung galaxy tab I800 (wifi only)
when i received it it was stuck in a boot loop and just kept rebooting the Verzin logo over and over again
i can get it into recovery, and the downloading thing while connected to pc
so i have tried heimdall way of restoring or what not..
i know nothing about this SGT, pretty sure its not rooted, but i wouldnt know, and i have no idea what happend to get it into the boot loop,
i have read MANY posts and did alot of searching over the last week and a half before i decided to post..but i must be missing something,
and i really need some assistance...
so if someone can help guide me through this i would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
a bit misleading
SCH-I800 is not wifi only. It is a CDMA device.
P1010 is wifi only.
Look for post on CDMA (sprint/verizon the same).
I can't help much since I don't know about CDMA device.
Good luck.
thanks for the info that i was getting mixed up...its is defiantely a sch I800 which is what it says on the back.and likei said i dont know alot about this tab, just what i was told, which was that it was wifi only..but that was definately wrong info according to what i am told now.
either way i am still stuck on the verizon screen. i also tried the heimdall again see maybe if it would take this time, but still no luck, i feel like i am using the right firmware but i am going to start from scratch now and see if i can get it going..too much misinformation in my head..lol
but if anyone can shoot me in the right direction i will be checking back here alot to see whats up..
thanks again
and thanks to priyana hopefully i can get this thing working..
here is a link to my most recent try

There are several things that make ur device stuck on verizon bootloop.
It can be bad partition system(the wrong pit)-happens when ppl try incorrectly upgrading from froyo to gb/ics, or gb to ics, vice versa.
It can also be incomplete rom - flash interruptions, missing system folders etc.
Go to recovery and check if you get error msgs when you do factory reset wipe and data cache wipe.
Your best bet is to flash a cdma rom with repartition option and tlinclude the correct pit file. You can do it via heimdell or odin.

yes i do get error messages when i try to do a factory restore and data cache wipe i could post a screenshot if that would help, i know it says something like cant mount some files located on E:
one example is
E: install_application_for_customer:cant mount data
then some more files that are unable to mount
and sorry to sound dumb but could you point me to cdma roms? and not sure what you mean about the repartition option..also where or how can i obtain the correct pit file? and as i said in first post not sure what android OS is on this thing nor do i know if it was rooted, and i have no idea how it got into this state
thanks for the help as well..i been a member on this site for a bit, but always just read and get it done, this is the first issue that i have had to post about that i am completely lost on, so your help is greatly appreciated

everything else i found out about it is in my previous posts
and yes i can go into download mode and recovery
when i try to do a factory wipe/ cache delete option it says in yellow text "your storage not prepard yet, please use UI menu for format and reboot actions" if that means anything
and a bunch of red text stating stuff about not being able to mount or open certain files on E:
i checked that site with the firmwares, but i dont see any that even say anything about I800

I did try that route before and it seems like it goes ok, but then when it finishes and i have to reboot (because of the verizon bootloop) and i got to wipe data and cache it has all the red text saying stuff about no being able to mount E: drive files/folders..
i will give it another try just for the sake of trying again
thanks
Hahaha.. didnt realize that. Then just use that pit file to repartition with the choice of rom.

Install app called "phone Info" from google store, it will take you to correct firmware as per your country origin.

That shouldn't have failed, CSC mismatch is not a cause of flash failure. Can you provide more details?
Hm...
Hi guys,
I had an issue similar to this and have no recollection what I did to fix it. I don't even think that I fixed it, ever. Meaning - no stock ROM install for me for months and months now.
I just downloaded some AOSP/TW ROM and flashed. Are you able to get to the custom recovery? Please confirm - I've read somewhere that you can flash stock from custom recovery. I did try a few "PIT" files, with no help.
P.S. I remembered a bit now. I was finally able to flash it through Odin, but entered boot loop. So, no go!
My eyes are on this thread.
Good luck,
Sonny B.

Um sorry for the late reply. So what happens is i down the firmware from sammobile sure that it was for my model and build number but the csc was of switzerland different than mine next i flashed the rom from 3 different versions of odin starting from v.3.10 it started saying checking md5 file and it was taking too long and we had lost hope then suddenly it said md5 read succesfully and then brought up another dialouge saying setup connection and then cam up with a fail message usb debugging and all the process was done correctly i know this is a late reply but please reply back if you are there thanks

If it was a pass message on odin it shouldve worked go into recovery mode and do a factory reset from there it should work it happened with me too but remember dont leave the phone switched on as its stuck in boot loop cause when the powers dead ur phone wont charge any more it would keep thinking as if its not bieng charged if thats what u did i recommend making a factory cable search it on google and charge from that so the device knows its bieng charged once the wipe data is done reset and hopefully it would work if not i think u should flash another stock rom again i hope i helped

I am newb to android world.
I have Samsung Note 3 SM-N900.
1. Succesfully installed lollipop 5.0 on this phone after reading for a week on this site.
2. Was planning to root the phone, followed instructions from here:
CF-Auto-Root is pretty much only method for Lollipop at the moment. Yes, it does trigger the KNOX Warranty Void flag though, look it up if you want to know what it means (voids warranty in certain regions apparently, definitely not in EU).
Instructions are in the first post of the CF-Auto-Root topic - http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2466423

Phone was rooted properly, checked from Chainfire su https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.supersu&hl=en
3. Installed Rom Manager PRO, was trying a custom rom boot animation, which warned but I tried anyway and now phone will not boot.
I am getting series of errors:
Unfortunately Gallery has stopped
Unfortunately text-to-speech engine has stopped
Unfortunately Settings has stopped
Unfortunately System UI has stopped
Unfortunately Task Manager has stopped
Unfortunately Internet Speed meter has stopped
even after clicking ok for several times waiting since last 15 minutes, phone will not boot.
Please help.. sorry for being a newb..
BRO just reflash same russian rom again using odin.... problem will be solved.....
Or try to flash lollipop 5.0 bootloader may be it can solve booting problem

Thanks mahi,
I am able to boot into download mode hoding volume down button and recovery mode holding volume up button. Should i try to do following in present condition without Reflash lollipop rom
Wipe cache
OR
factory reset
Data is not important as I have all my important data on memory card (video/images)
Phone is alive again:
Did following things to recover the phone which was not booting:
1. wipe cache partition
Nothing happened, was still getting those application stop issues, phone was unable to boot.
2. wipe/reset data
Phone came back alive.. all applications got uninstalled except Super-Su Free from Chainfire.
I am able to open the application Super-su properly.
How can i confirm.. If there is nothing wrong and proceeding ahead with setting upon the mobile again.
Edit 2
Went to Recovery Mode and Download Mode, did nothing..
Again started having the same boot issues, all applications getting stopped
WEIRD !!
Probably.. should reflash entire thing again.. ?

Reflash the ROM via odin, then factory reset and clear cache before first boot.
you have one solution go to download mode , go to sammobile download the official firmware for you device and your country connected your device with pc download the lateest version of odin . install and oppen odin go to pda .chose the firmware that you downloaded from sammobile install clik start and the problem soved
Not sure.. How i updated lollipop last time or rooted device . (local mobile repairers who work for rooting when paid are not at all knowledgeable)
I always got STOCK recovery MODE option, just tried to get into recovery MODE on a Note 2, and got same menu options.. like i have in NOTE 3.
Few minutes later, followed all instructions in this thread again:
Thanks to dr.ketan and cryostasis25..
I used same file again = n900-cwm-recovery-6.0.5.0-kk_L5.0(0812).tar
And now I am getting a different recovery MODE option..
(PROBABLY, i have to MYSELF spend more time reading/understanding terms.. before going ahead).
Now top title of recovery mode displays "CWM-based reocovery v6.0.5.0"
Giving few many options to select from list. (I never got this recovery mode before ??? )
All my last wiped applications are intact as well.. (wiped around 6-8 hours ago)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58775300&postcount=5
I am not sure still, what i tried/did.. Any guidance shall be a miracle.. for a newb
Tried going to recovery mode/download mode several times now, and phone wont crash
Kindly let me know what/where i did wrong..
Edit 1
I am also getting an option now to install dr.ketan ROM from recovery mode.. will try that for sure 
Once I receive some responses (to a newb)
Edit 2
I can still find I am rooted, Chanfire su app still appears installed and runs perfectly fine..

find your firmware make sure its the CORRECT CARRIER AND FIRMWARE
download a bunch of ODin firmwares I had to try different ones because 2 out of 3 I tried FAILED to flash
I dont have my computer with me as I am replying but I think it was ODIN 11 or something I cant be exact im sorry
any way download it unzip it and then put it in a folder on your desktop try doing the AP file FIRST then do all the other ones. this part is a LAST hope. but most times ODIN Fails because the usb cable could be in the wrong usb spot usually ODIN works best with the back USB ports of computers why I have no clue lol
if odin still fails try to make sure you have the correct firmware and if you can actually get in to recovery mode your not that bad but if you cant even access recovery mode (volume down and power and home I belive is the method) than you have a harder brick to unbrick but note7alliance is a really good site it just takes alittle more time for people to respond to your support tickets but other than that it usually gets help and is strcitly note 7 information. sign up for it i did and I never regretted it and I still use my note 7 back from the dead any questions feel free to reply and ill try and help..

You can't apply stock updates on a rooted device with custom recovery, you have to have stock recovery and an unmodified system partition.
If you can't get to download mode then you might have to send the device to a shop that can perform a JTAG service on the device.

Yes i understand custom recovery cannot restore stock however mt recovery is gone as well if its still there how can i get it to come back up because the only function i have now is download mode

I didn't say that you couldn't flash stock in custom recovery.
I said, you can't flash "stock updates" on a rooted device, it requires stock recovery and an unmodified system partition. You just didn't understand.
There ARE, however, stock ROMs that have been converted into flashable zips that can be flashed in custom recovery, but this won't help you right now.
If you can get to download mode then you can flash your full stock firmware via Odin.

Here are some troubleshooting steps for a failed Odin flash from the S2 forum, troubleshooting yours should be similar.
