Have I Bricked my Phone? - Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help &

I am only just new and have been playing around with this custom rom stuff for a short while now, I have ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.4.7 on my I9305T. I have tried a few different Roms so far but they don't work. I tried just today "RevolutionaryS5-V3" it obviously went through the installation process but did not boot into it, just came up with the samsung default ( samsung S III GT- I9305T ) logo in white. It disappeared then came back looping that way.
So now I have went into the "Advanced Menu" and then "show log" I don't know if this will help you but, it displayed this:-
ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.4.7
persist.sys.root_access=1
persist.radio.adb_log_on=1

I:Checking for extendedcommand...
I:Skipping execution of extendedcommand, file no

I:Can't partition non mmcblk device: /devices/pl

The roms I have downloaded are:- aicp_i9305_lp-10.0-RELEASE-20150708 (this one looped its boot logo), cm-11-20150907-NIGHTLY-i9305 (i have the recovery .img for this), cm-12.1-20150926-NIGHTLY-dogo (i have the recovery .img for this), FlashingDroid_S5_v2.2 and RevolutionaryS5-V3, if these roms are any good for my I9305T, Can anyone give me some advise on what or how to install these roms.

Something went wrong while flashing rom or maybe the rom data is corrupt.
Bootloop means your device fails to boot if system data is corrupt by flashing rom
You had soft brick.
Reboot into recovery and restore the stock rom if you had nandroid backup.

RevolutionaryS5-V3? that one is not for the i9305 unless i have missed a thread for it. The roms for your phone can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/development-i9305
but as stated flash stock rom again, flash custom recovery and then choose the rom for your phone

Hey Piyush,
Initially I did try do a Backup using Titanium Backup app, first try I think there wasn't enough room on the internal HDD, so I tried on the external HDD which I thought had done so.. So when I came to this problem, the backup did not work.
Now at first before I rooted the phone. It was done by odin v1.85 and of course it did root. So I know it has superSU, but I can't get onto a stock rom for this phone because of my **** sat internet bandwidth and also a good site to download from. I tried the samsung-update site, but the 2 links don't allow me to finish the download. Do you know of any links that i can download the stock rom for my i9305T my phone was running android v4.3. The link I just stated was for v4.3.
Can you give me some advise on how or what I should do?

Wayne

I'm not sure if you can downgrade from 4.3 to 4.2 or earlier. If the phone was running 4.3 then I'd install 4.3 or 4.4 to get stock recovery back. Then you can install a custom recovery. No need to root your phone for that.

Do you know a link that will take me to a compatible file for my GT-i9305T, I'm just not sure what to look out for. Also would you be able to give me a quick rundown/instructions on how to do this. Will I need odin, and which version will I need. Currently I have v1.85, that's what I used to start off. I really don't wanna brick this phone.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...ck-rom-4-4-4-gt-i9305n-i9305nxxufni4-t2886807
there you'll find the Kitkat DBT for i9305. Will work with your phone as well. In the OP you'll find instruction on how to install this version via odin. Odin is included in the zip.
After that you put your phone into download mode again and flash the preferred recovery via odin. But don't use TWRP 2.8.7.0 from their site. That build is broken and is getting fixed atm. Either use TWRP 2.8.5.0 or latest Philz Touch. If you decide to flash a custom ROM again, make sure you're in the right forum, e.g. i9305

Thanks heaps for your help so far maultasche, I will let you know how I go with this.

From backup I actually meant if you had cwm and you did a nandroid backup of the stock rom from the recovery itself.
If you are getting bootloop you can easily fix it by restoring the backup.
Search on the net about recovery from soft brick and bootloops.
Nandroid backups can atleast get your device in running condition.
If you have custom recovery backup your rom first then you can flash any desired rom.
One more thing if you had flashed custom rom do not factory reset your device,this may result in soft brick.
Hope that helps!
Is your device booting now??

Yes, I successfully got the phone to boot up and run. I used the I9305XXUFNI3_I9305DBTFNI3_I9305XXUFNI3_HOME.tar file using the odin v3.09 and now it has asked the country and so on..
It was a bit daunting thinking if it was going to brick or fix the phone...
Thanks for your help, time and kindness for the files you gave me.
The next couple of days I will try attempt install Cyanogenmod 11. Will I need to use odin to install the recovery image, just like I did for the I9305XXUFNI3_HOME.tar file?

You're welcome, glad it did help.
Yes, you need odin to flash the recovery again. No need to root your phone just to install the recovery, as mentioned. Then you can flash whatever ROM you'd like. One thing - although CM 11 still gets nightlies from time to time there is no maintainer left. He switched devices. If you encounter any issues which might be device related they probably won't get fixed.
Is sending pics on pc still an issue? Sorry, I wasn't online and I forgot to check the thread :/

HI Maultasche, so I have been looking at the" Resurrection-Remix-LP-v5.5.6" rom and have been downloading the files for it, but i am not sure what the "changelog" file is for or what it does. The page - forum . xda-developers.com / galaxy-s3 / development-i9305 / rom-resurrection-remix-4-4-2-kitkat-v5-t2704828 . It tells me I need these Installation Files:- ROM , Gapps & Changelog. Do you know if i can install this Rom using
CWM v6.0.4.7?
Oh, and about the send pic question, I wanted to send you a pic of the odin mode screen from my phone, but the only thing I could see was the "insert image" button. But it wanted me to enter a URL for the picture. Whats the go there?

Wayne

The change log file only shows what has been fixed and what has changed to previous builds. Nothing you need for the ROM
You only need the ROM, gapps and the recovery. Use the recovery rodman has mentioned in his post.
Insert image button? Via Tapatalk? Don't know what you mean to be honest.

Me Again, just above this message box there is the insert image icon. Doh... So now I have spotted the Paperclip icon above and now feel a **** for asking how to send a picture.. Sorry.
So again I thank you for your help, it is much appreciated.

Need to install a ROM without a PC
Hi maultasche, Can you help me with this, I have my wife's phone which is a S3 i9305 as well. The USB connection on the phone has been damaged and so the cable can't be connected. I was wondering if I could still install the ROM without the use of a PC. Can you tell me the best software I could do this with? Also I am not sure the best way to back up the phone, not wanting to root it.
Regards,
Wayne

hi,
what ROM youre talking about? Official firmware? If you have a flashable zip yo could do that with flashfire, flashify, rashr etc. Or via custom recovery. For a custom recovery is no root needed.
As for backups depending on what you want to backup (whole system including data etc. or just apps with apps data). Without root your backup options are kind of limited. You can backup apps and app data via helium but not every app can be backed up using this tool. You could do a back up via adb but not sure how complete such a backup will be. I never did that. Or a backup with a custom recovery again. Might be the easiest way.

What did I do and how do I fix it?

Hey fellas,
So here's what I was trying to do...I was simply trying to revert back to a previous ROM that I had made a back up of. As I tried to load up the back up I got an error. Tried another back up...same thing. Tried to simply reboot my phone, stuck at the Samsung logo. I can get into recovery and I tried to use the USB mount to see if I could put a freshly downloaded ROM to try onto the phone, no dice (computer never saw the phone, best I can tell).
Am I screwed, or is this a simple matter of putting a ROM on through Odin to get me back on track? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
what error? what rom where you on and we're you trying to do a nandroid restore?
odin is safe and can be done to revert to stock rom easily as a last resort but for now explain with details

Sorry for the lack of details, a delivery driver showed up as I was typing away.
I was on: PACman http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1999908
Tried restoring: TW Minitab http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1968561
as well as a back up of the ROM that's not to be mentioned here.
The error was a loading error, if I'm remembering right. I'll grab my phone and double check right away. And yes, Nandroid restore.
"Error while restoring /system!"
That's the error I'm receiving.
hmmm.. what does it say in the logs
go to advanced and show logs

I: Skipping exection of extendedcommand, file not found...

Ok then flash the stock rom using odin and if ics, install a safe kernel and the flash any custom rom you want.

Are the steps needed in the Dr. Ketan (sp?) thread?
Thanks for the help
yes all in there. nothing very hard to too. download the rom. open odin, and select the rom in pda tab. put phone in download mode and connect to PC. Flash it. If you choose ics, do not wipe till you install a safe kernel.
you can install philz kernel as per the rom you installed and then wipe.

Ok,, let us know how it goes. see ya
Finally have some time to give this a go now, but I don't see a Canadian ROM on there. Does it matter which I use, or can I just grab a random since I'll be flashing something else eventually anyway?

You should try to put your Note in download mode and flash a stock rom with Odin.
You must flash the PIT file to repartition your phone's storage, chose the right one (16 or 32 Gb).
I am almost sure that your phone is soft bricked and it is recoverable.
If it don't work, thant mean that your have bad blocks in your phone's storage. Have you wiped your note while under ICS android ?
what rom were you on? if JB, try a factory reset.

You shouldn't be doing a reset on ICS stock at all.. Install Philz kernel for ICS and wipe data and cache.. When flashing a stock rom using odin, is it a success?

I went into recovery mode and it is still showing that efs error as it was showing before...
Any suggestion what should I try to fix this ?
So you never installed any rom or a custom kernel?

Signals do come after step 2 but when I try to make some call it says "Not registered on network".
Looking forward to your reply.

I currently have an imei but it is some random number starting with "004999" and I do get signals but cant make a call .. Do you know if there is some hope for me or not .. and what else I can try.
This is the developer imei. You may be able to make calls of you try a GB rom. Or there is one rom by ThaiDai which had some work around built into it. I don't know which one.
Else the site I mentioned earlier has contact info of cvxcvx. He can fix your phone remotely but by charging about 10 euros.
Need help for a bricked N7000
Hi guys,Im a complete newbie to the whole custom rom scenario. Yet, after being fed up of touchwiz on my N7000 i decided i wanted to taste some KitKat on my phone. After seeing many videos with positive reviews I thought it would be a rather easy process. But somehow I seem to have made a mistake and now my phone is stuck on Samsung Galaxy Note N7000 logo. I cant get into recovery mode as suggested on most places. As of now I only have access to the download mode but dont know what to do with it.
Here's what I tried doing :
1) I was on stock OS, and these are my specifics : Galaxy Note N-7000 running JB 4.1.2
Baseband version : N7000DDLS6
Kernel version: 3.3.31-906407
BUild number:JZO54K.N7000DDLSC
2) As I was following the procedure from Omnirom's official website, I first rooted my phone using Framaroot's single click root app. This gave me SuperSU app.
3) Then I tried installing TWRP recovery (recommended by Omni) but they dont support the N7000. I read a few other tutorials where it was stated the CWM recovery and that too Philz CWM recovery is the best to go with. Apparently it is just stock kernel with CWM recovery. Since the latest one(philz_touch_6.07.9-n7000) was not being installed, I installed the one before that which worked (PhilZ-cwm6-DDLSC-ODD-5.11.2-signed).
4) I even installed the ROM Manager as per the tutorial. However, uptil now I could access recovery mode ( Vol UP+Home+Power) and i saw the touch enabled philz recovery mode once. Then i did system reboot.
5)After reboot, this is where I did a mistake in my opinion. I opened ROM Manger and clicked on "open in recovery mode" option. Since then the phone is stuck on the Galaxy Note N7000 logo. Please help me revive the phone. Thanks in advance. Again, Im doing this for the first time and most terms are new to me. So please explain the procedure as other tutorials are not very clear.
You missed on reading the most important instructions.
Rom manager will not work with note. Recovery is built into the kernel on note and not as a separate partition.
Try harder to get into recovery mode. If you still can't, get the ddlsc Philz kernel tar version. Flash it using Odin. Then power off the device and boot into recovery. Then flash raw kernel. Reboot recovery. Flash omni and other required zips.

How do I do i install the kernel using ODIN? I can only access download mode and nothing else. I cant access recovery mode. Please help.
PhilZ kernel has two versions, zip and tar. Use the tar version to flash via odin.

Galaxy note N7000 bricked?

Hi guys,
I am just wondering what happened to my Galaxy note N7000, long story short. When you try to power on the phone it goes to it's welcome screen which is the "samsung galaxy n7000" screen however it doesn't go to the samsung logo which is supposed to. It just turns black as if it was turned off.
I can go to recovery. Tried, wipe cache partition and factory reset to no luck.
I would really appreciate if someone guide through it.
Did you try to flash a stock rom using odin? What is the recovery you have? If it's cwm then did you try to flash a custom rom?

thanks for the quick reply. Actually no. I was playing with the app, "pimp my rom" then it required me to reboot the phone, so I did. The problem started. Now as for the recovery. it looks like it's PhilZ Touch 5. CWM base version: 6.0.3.3
It seems like you have a messed up system partition. What rom were you on?

I guess you are right about that.. Sorry I would really love to provide you what specific ROM I was in but I really can't check it now. I remember that I am on 4.1.2 JB though (if that would help), is there a way that we can install a new rom instead?
I would like to ask as well if this is considered as bricked?
If you have a stock rom download already, then boot into recovery, choose clean before new rom install, reboot download, connect to odin and flash the new rom.
If you want to go for a custom rom, then download that. Connect phone to pc in recovery, choose mount usb storage, place the rom zip file in to phone storage, choose clean before new rom install, then install zip.

I truly appreciate the answer. I would try that as soon as possible and get back to this thread if necessary. Is it safe to say that my phone isn't permanent dead yet?
Not sure yet until one of the above is performed and succeeds.

TWRP on Galaxy s I9000 ?

I would install KITKAT on my Galaxy S i9000 using the TWRP recovery.
In the list of devices on which you can mount the TWRP not indicated the Galaxy S I9000.
It 'an error or you can not?
1. download http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1644240
2. download CodeROM-5.1.1-20150825-galaxysmtd
3. extract boot.img and rename it to zImage
4. run tar.bat
Result attached for convenience. All credits go to the devs!

I will choose the ROM later.
Now I have already choosed the procedure to save EFS files.
Now I'm choosing what type of recovery use.
I repeat: I would use TWRP but my smartphone does not appear in the list of supported devices.
On the contrary, in all the guides TWRP is indicated as an alternative to CWR.
Original TWRP is not available for i9000.
BUT: The CodeROM-Team managed to make it running onto i9000. Therefore, you need to extract TWRP from their ROM, convert it to an Imagefile and upload it with ODIN. This works!
Hello, I would like to also do this as stated in the OP. The image in the kernel.tar, that's what I have to flash the i9000 with Odin? Do I have twrp recovery then in the i9000?

I downloaded the attached kernel attachment and flashed it with Odin. After doing this, the phone booted up in TWRP 2.8.7.0, but deleted the stock ROM. That's not all, I cannot do anything anymore with the phone, because the phone gives error with every ROM I try to install: "Unable to mount '/system'" and "Unable to mount '/data'". The phone does not boot in download mode either.
The big question is now, how to solve these errors? Can anyone help?

It seems that this Recovery with CWM does not support any other ROMs than CodeROM . Had the same problem lately, but in my case I expected it to be due to the fact that i changed the Filesystem of /system and /data to F2FS, but apparently that was not the main cause. (By the way- don't do that. It took me 2 days to get it back to EXT again).
The only way to solve it was to flash a complete Stock ROM with ODIN (I had to do it twice until everything was working again), using the files you'll find in the Stock-Rom-DB. I used this ones (sorry, no link atm, but you'll find it easily):
CSC_OXXJVC.tar.md5 3'778'609 20.04.2012 23:42 -a--
PDA_XWJW5_Sbl.tar.md5 285'562'932 20.04.2012 23:40 -a--
PHONE_XXJW4.tar.md5 12'585'010 27.04.2012 16:17 -a--
s1_odin_20100512.pit 1'744 06.08.2010 16:56 -a--
Luckily this did not affectet the area where the phones special data is located (IMEI and so on, donnot remeber the correct name for that).
I'm now back onto latest official CM10, because newer releases had quite a few issues, especialy bad connectivity (dont know why). With android 4.4.4 everything is working perfectly again.
Hope that helps to fix the problems my file did!

> The phone does not boot in download mode either
Did not see that before. I never had such an issue. Try it again, but do not push the power button more than 10 seconds, else the phone reboots again and again.
Sometimes, Download mode works even thought you cannot see anything on screen. try to connect the device to your PC and launch ODIN, you'll see if it can connect.
Tnx for your reply Fragone. It took me a while, had to wait on a USB jig for me to get the phone in download mode.
Unfortunately I did format to f2fs, how did you get back to ext? As for the other files, I did get my hands on an original rom, but I have to go look for the files you mentioned and try it with those, as the stock rom does not boot either. If you have the links, I'd be much abliged. Right now I go to sleep, just got home from the graveyard shift.
So someone finally returned my i9000 to me after a few years of use and I'm looking to put a current ROM on it so I can use it as a test phone. I keep seeing TWRP as the custom recovery used for the new ROMs. And yet like umberto, I've found there's no official custom TWRP for this phone. I'm pretty familiar with using TWRP on all my other devices.
So back to the original question of this thread - is there a way to get TWRP on the phone? It looks like Fragone's suggestion isn't the right way to go? The only thing I could find in my thread searches was a suggestion to use Mackay's ROM to get 2.8.1.0 and then (theoretically) it's on there so you could move to other ROMs. Any help?

@umberto santulli @dnaod
On the i9000, kernel & recovery share the same image, thus the recovery cannot be flashed separately. Therefore there is no i9000 on the TWRP site.
Yes, there are several kernels that feature TWRP, but you must be careful: kernel must be compatible with the ROM, otherwise, bootloop is result.

Thanks for this warning. I've flashed MacKay's ROM and am playing with it right now. I was planning on flashing OmniROM later using this same TWRP but I'm guessing I should read quite a bit more carefully with every ROM to see if they're compatible.

There should be no problem to change the ROM. Just mind that the kernel & recovery share the image. I was using Omni 4.4.4 by kasper_h and Mackay kernel with TWRP

accidentally deleted system folder, flashed stock rom and phone won't boot properly

I have a us cellular note 5, was trying to install a rom, failed and ended up deleting my system folder. I flashed the stock rom with odin, but the phone can only boot to the logo stops, and then goes to recovery mode

If you flashed a different recovery like TWRP then you'll have to use that again.. Have you rooted the phone before? If so, you probably have to flash stock firmware files one by one in Odin including flashing the recovery.

Since you've rooted the phone I'm gonna say the easiest way to fix this right now is to re-flash TWRP and download a rom that one of the devs on here have created and push it to the phone and use TWRP to flash it.. This is the best way for now since you are going to need a LOT more information and a better understanding of how to fully remove the root access because you cannot run a stock rom while rooted.. After you at least get it going then read around on here and you'll find all the answers and ways to fix things by those of us who've already been in your spot.

I'm trying to flash a custom rom but the most I can get it to do is hang up on the Samsung logo or a black screen, is there any specific roms I should try?
