[Q] Galaxy 3 not booting

Hi,
My Galaxy 3 suddenly stopped booting up (continuously shows Samsung logo) so I have decided to go for below options:
1. Install a custom rom (FROYO - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1037459).
2. Steps to do that are given in above mentioned link. But do I need to root my device before doing that?
3. Go to samsung service center.
Have you encountered this problem this before, what would you suggest me?

instal custom ROM first.

Can you access recovery or download mode?

Guys, Sorry for the late response.
I am able to access download mode but not recovery mode.
And I tried to install custom Rom (Froyo - ATROM20-I5801DDJP2.tar) but with no success. I used ODIN (apollo_0531.ops). The status in ODIN showed passed after approx 6 min and my phone rebooted twice during the process. The second time my phone rebooted and it seems to be hung during booting (It constantly displayed Samsung Logo endlessly).
Then I installed G3MOD kernel. After rebooting it opens G3MOD screen, the loading icon of G3MOD goes 100% but it gets stuck there.
Again I installed above mentioned custom rom but it shows the Samsung logo endlessly during booting.
My Question now is:
1. Do I need to root my phone first? ( I read that by using ODIN you do not need to do that separately)
2. As I mentioned I am not able to go to recovery mode(Vol button up and down both+Power+Home). Is there a problem with my phone. Were you able to do this?
3. What should I do next.

Why do you want to install custom firmware? It would be better to install (with Odin) stock samsung ecalir or froyo firmware, particulary if you plan to go to Samsung service center.
Rooting your phone wont help to resolve your situation.

If you are not able to access recovery mode, then there must be internal problem. Better go to Samsung Care. Or I wonder there is hard reset for SG3?

Thanks

I went to service center and they installed Froyo :victory:. I am wondering how did they do that when the recovery mode option was not showing up?
Anyways thank you guys for you suggestions :good:. One thing I noticed is that the Hindi fonts are not recognizable . Do you know how to resolve this? I read that rooting is required? is this correct?

Well I'm afraid I can't help you about Hindi fonts. But I was wondering how they solve this kind of issues where recovery itself is inaccessible?

Try reflash original HC firmware. For me worked

yep, best bet is to reflash with original HC then format/wipe using default wiper in the recovery menu.
I also tried flashing an official ICS directly to a bootloop stricken device and it works too

Bootloop Problem
hi guys..
My P6800 also experienced this boot loop last week. My firmware is stock ICS non-rooted. I dont want to wipe data while in ICS so I reflashed my tab with stock Honeycomb using Odin. But after flashing, the tab was still stuck at the Samsung logo. I wanted to wipe data in recovery but when I press the Power + Volume Up button, the screen initially goes to the recovery screen for a few seconds and displays:
#MANUAL MODE#
Updating application...
then after a few seconds, the tab will reboot again and will be stuck at the Samsung Logo. I dont know what to do anymore. Im still able to go to the download mode though. (Power + Volume down)
Any suggestions?
Also now im not able to turn off the tab. Its still stuck at the Samsung logo. And when I try to plug and remove the charger, the tab is stuck at the battery symbol.
Help please..

[Q] Gtab P3100 stuck on "Samsung Galaxy Tab 2" Screen

Hi there, i'm from indonesia...
Just wondering whats wrong with my step, cause now i got P3100 "stuck on "Samsung Galaxy Tab 2" Screen" until the battery drains out...
First :
- Trun off P3100
- put download mode
- connect P3100 to pc
- Click ODIN
- select "GT-P3100_ClockworkMod-Recovery_6.0.1.0.tar" file on PDA
- START
- Finish (Sucssesful)
- Reboot
- Result "stuck on "Samsung Galaxy Tab 2" Screen"
Note : just try to flash cwm to flash root.zip for P3100
Second :
- Trun off P3100
- put download mode
- connect P3100 to pc
- Click ODIN
- select "P3100XXBLH2_P3100OLBBLH1_P3100XXLH2_HOME.tar.md5" file on PDA (downloaded from Sammobile)
- START
- Finish (Sucssesful)
- Reboot
Note : Try to Restock to stock firmware 4.0.4 & already try with PIT.File selected on ODIN but..
- still "stuck on "Samsung Galaxy Tab 2" Screen"
Anybody can help me with this issue...??
Cheers

Maybe you could try reflashing the stock firmware WITHOUT any PIT file. I only remember needing a PIT file for older devices like the original Galaxy Tab P1000, not for the newer ones like the P3110.
After which, instead of letting it boot normally, try booting into recovery mode, do a factory reset/wipe cache from there then see if all works again.
Btw, one of the more popular rooting methods for P3110 is actually Chainfire AutoRoot, which does not require custom recovery like CWM and only requires you to flash the AutoRoot tar file through ODIN. Very simple & recommended by everyone here.

Ok, will try today and report soon...
Cheers

Anyone can help me out...??

Sounds like the bootloader got messed up. That's bad & probably only the service centre can help you now.

No, if you can get it into download mode it's fixable. ODIN recovery again and try to get into recovery.
Posted from my Fascinate using XDA Premium

Probably flashing into stock rom will fixed it, as long as your download mode can be accessing you're gonna be fine :thumbup:

You guys are forgetting the most basic thing to fix the tab. Hold Power+Volume up instead of power+volume down. then using the volume keys highlight wipe data/factory reset and then press power, yes and then once finished reboot the tab.

Facing same problem
Help me
I m facing same problem

Wipe data and install a touchwiz based rom first. I had the same problem and it is a problem of the bootloader.
Then flash twrp using odin.
Once i flashed twrp, all roms work perfect on my tab 2.
Hope that helped.

[Q] HELP : Phone stuck while flashing via Odin

Hi ,
My phone got stuck/frozen while browsing and no button was responding. I removed the battery and reboot it only to have it stuck at boot screen.
It shows the first screen with model number then as it moves to Samsung boot screen animation it freezes. I used Odin to Flash the ROM.
I tried with these ROMS
I9103XWLA4_I9103DRELA1_I9103NELA1_HOME.tar.md5
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and
I9103JPLD1_I9103OJPLD1_I9103XXKJ2_HOME.tar.md5
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
but the process stops with the following message:
Code:
--Applying Multi-CSC...
Installing Multi-CSC
Cant access to '/system/csc/INU/system/'.
successfully applied multi-CSC.
When I reboot again(by removing battery) it stops at the same screen with following message on top
Android system recovery<3e>
reboot system now
apply update..
wipe data/factory reset..
wipe cache...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Kindly share your thoughts on how can I fix now.. Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks
P.S I already flashed via odin from Indian stock rom to XXKJ version mentioned above few months back.

Are you sure you followed this guide properly and did not check on CSC instead of PDA?
about the screen you mentioned is of recovery mode. try entering into download mode and repeat the whole proccess properly (Guide)
yesterday only i flashed this Rom via odin.(although it stuck in between at first trial but succeeded when i tried again) you could give it a try.
if you stuck at samsung logo after flashing follow these steps.

Yes, I did use the guide properly and check on PDA then loaded the md5 file. I will try with the ROM you mentioned. I hope I won't loose any data as I could not create any backup. Also, is my post in the right section or has to be moved to developer section to get more responses..

Yes it is in right section.
you will loose all data (messages,contacts,apps, etc) you wont loose sdcard data (songs, videos, etc).
keep practice of posting screenshot if you face any error. this makes it easy to understand about the error.

But the last time I flashed to GB only, I did not loose any data(contacts, apps, etc). Will flashing to ICS will delete everything? Also I was planning to stick to GB only. And what does the error "Cant access to '/system/csc/INU/system/'." means? Can't I fix the phone by trying to resolve the particular error rather than trying ICS directly ? Guys who faced this type of error please comment your suggestions.
Thanks.

Thanks for your replies and comments.
I have tried both GB and ICS Indian ROMs.
With GB ROM, although I did not get the "can't find the file /system/csc/INU...." but the phone is stuck again after showing "successfully applied multi CSC". The process doesn't go any further with a kind of disabled progress bar under it.
With ICS ROM, I don't notice any such messages but I see a droid with a crystal which stops animating after some time. There was no progress for half an hour after which I removed the battery.
Is my phone having any serious issue. How do I proceed now ??

When I flashed indian ICS the log was as shown in 'Message' box in SS
i have never faced any thing like CSC in log which you are facing. If you are using any odin version other than 1.85 then try 1.85. Also compare the screenshot process with yours.
If you still dont get success then i think you should visit Samsung Service Centre. they will only guide you properly.

Thanks for your reply Nikhil. I am using odin3 v1.85. I just tried to flash with ICS ROM and attached are the screenshots, if you can notice anything going wrong while flashing. Also after the success message the phone rebooted and after two black screens the android animation stops. There was a progress bar indicator initially, which disappeared when screen went black 1st time.

Go to recovery mode and do a factory reset.

Exactly so you can see now there isnt any CSC in logs guess u were doing something wrong!
anyways, now download tar file from here and flash cwm recovery v4.0.0.2 or any other recovery through odin. then perform factory reset. it will boot properly then.
Note:- performing direct factory reset is bit risky. Read what Adam77Root and Disturbed said

Dude,
I was talking about the log on my phone screen. I am attaching the error displayed on my mobile when flashing non Indian ROM's. Before I do any factory reset I would like you all to have a look at the error where the flashing process is hanging.
Update: The second screenshot is the complete process while flashing in odin3. It hangs at this point after showing msg "successfully applied multi-CSC". The difference is if Indian ROM is used, the error "cannot find /system/CSC.." is skipped. In any case the flashing doesn't proceed from this point. If I reboot by removing the battery, the activity is shown in first screen shot. As ICS ROM flashing doesn't show any text msg of what process is going on in phone I have used GB ROM to display the message.
I highly appreciate your comments and need your suggestions as to which way to proceed.

If you got the first screenshot.just do a factory reset as it appears in the screen you have given in the first screen shot.NOTE:try a factory reset in the stock recovery donot flash CWM. It worked for me.

goes into download mode but does not go into recovery mode.
if I put it in recovery mode appears a few seconds the green robot and then restarts.
I attach it to the power supply and I do recharge to 100%, but nothing.
I put it in download mode and flash the stock firmware but nothing.

Hello! thanks for the reply!
a curiosity, do you think it is not a hardware problem?
I had thought of this option, but as a last option, because if I put the custom recovery and keeps rebooting lose the warranty right? and I can not restore it right?
try, and I will keep you informed! I hope to solve!
