How to Unbrick or Restore Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300

Looks like you just got unlucky in your little Galaxy S3 hacking adventures — that is, little things like rooting, custom recoveries and custom ROMs — and now, you have a bricked device in your hand.

Well, what we can do now is try to restore your Galaxy S3 back to stock using a firmware so that all bad partitions on the device are fixed and it doesn’t bootloops and restarts normally.

And well, depending on what you were trying to do, and more importantly how, it could either be soft-bricked or hard-bricked — in latter case, as sad as it is, you maybe out of luck, man!

What’s Hard-brick and Soft-brick?

Even though rare, and when you are like set to be doomed, your Galaxy S3 might get hard-bricked. In which case, the Galaxy S3 won’t boot into download mode — it won’t respond to key combinations you are trying to make it to boot normally or to download or recovery mode.

Hard-brick results in one dead Android device. Yes, it’s sick, and worrying. You may have to look for a JTAG service locally; the person with good knowledge of that may be able to revive it. Oh, you can also try using USB Jig (look on ebay, perhaps!) to reboot the Galaxy S3 into download mode, but it may or may not work!

Hard-brick is rare, it may happen only when power supply gets disturbed of computer and/or Android device when something is being installed/updated on the device. Or, when you totally mis-do things totally recklessly. That’s why you have to be very careful with even the easiest steps.

Let’s see soft-brick now. Normally, a rick is a soft-brick, which means your device isn’t completely dead, that it is just not able to boot normally and gets stuck somewhere. And, download mode is working.

How to identify bricked Galaxy S3?

If your Android device can boot into download mode, then it means it’s a soft-brick. If it cannot, then it’s hard-bricked.

Cases of soft-brick:

  • Bootloop: Your Galaxy S3 is not restarting properly and gets stuck at logo, and reboots again and again on it. Mostly occurs when you flash something bad.
  • Corrupted but working: Your Galaxy S3 can’t power On, but is entering the Download mode and/or Recovery mode on pressing the key combinations. That is, it’s responding to key combos, at the least.
  • Any other case: As it doesn’t matter what happened, as long as you can access Download mode using the key combos specified in the unbrick Galaxy S3 guide below, you’re good — no reasons to worry!

Solution?

Just install the firmware using the guide below and your Galaxy S3 shall be up and running coolly soon enough! you must be able to enter download using the key combinations specified in the guide below.

Cases of Hard-brick:

  • Well, if you can’t enter download mode using the key combinations specified in the guide below, you got a worry — your device is hard-bricked. You can’t repair it yourself unless you are able to reboot it into download mode.

Solution?

You can try USB Jig to enter Download mode but there is no guarantee it would work. Your last hope is JTAG: find a local service provider who can us the JTAG for you and revive your dead hard bricked Galaxy S3. You can use Google to buy JTAG and try it yourself but we don’t recommend it at all, at it requires the skills of a knowledgeable person in Electronics.

Let’s see now how to unbrick or restore or fix a bricked Galaxy S3.

How to Restore Samsung Galaxy S3 to Unbrick and Fix it

  WARNING!

Warranty may be void of your device if you follow the procedures given on this page.

You only are responsible for your device. We won’t be liable if any damage occurs to your device and/or its components.

  SAMSUNG GALAXY S3 GT-I9300 OFFICIAL JELLY BEAN 4.3 FIRMWARE

Before you begin with guide instructions below, make sure your android device is adequately charged — at least 50% battery of the device.

  STEP 0: CHECK DEVICE MODEL NO.

To make sure your device is eligible with this, you must first confirm its model no. in ‘About device’ option under Settings. Another way to confirm model no. is by looking for it on the packaging box of your device. It must be GT-I9300!

Do not use the procedures discussed here on any other Galaxy S3 (including the Galaxy S3 variant at T-Mobile, Sprint, US-Cellular, AT&T, Verizon and other International LTE variants) or any other device of Samsung or any other company. You have been warned!

  STEP 1: BACKUP YOUR DEVICE

Back up important data and stuff before you start playing around here as there are chances you might lose your apps and app-data (app settings, game progress, etc.), and in rare case, files on the internal memory, too.

For help on Backup and Restore, check out our exclusive page on that linked right below.

 ANDROID BACK UP AND RESTORE GUIDE: APPS AND TIPS

  STEP 2: INSTALL LATEST DRIVER

You must have proper and working driver installed on your windows computer to be able to successfully flash stock firmware on your Samsung Galaxy S3. In case you’re not sure, follow the link below for a definitive guide for installing driver for your Galaxy S3 on your computer.

 SAMSUNG GALAXY S3 DRIVERS INSTALLATION GUIDE

   STEP 3: INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

  DOWNLOADS

Download the Odin zip file and firmware file given below. Transfer both Odin and firmware file to a separate folder on your computer just to keep things tidy.

  ODIN ZIP FILE

DOWNLOAD LINK | File name: Latest Odin3 v3.09.zip (951 KB)

  FIRMWARE ZIP FILE

DOWNLOAD LINK | File name: I9300XXUGMK6_I9300OXAGMK6_BTU.zip (873.3 MB)

  STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE

  Example video: If you haven’t used Odin before to install a stock firmware or anything else, then we suggest you first watch a video of that to get familiar with the process. The video demonstrates flashing of CWM Recovery on Galaxy S3, but since the procedure is same for flashing stock firmware also, the video will helpClick here to watch the video

Important Note: Backup important files stored on internal SD card of your device, so that in case a situation arises requiring you to do a factory reset after flashing stock firmware, which might delete internal sd card too, your files will remain safe on PC.

  1. Extract/Unzip the Odin zip file, Latest Odin3 v3.09.zip on your computer (using 7-zip free software, preferably) to get this file: Odin3 v3.09.exe
  2. Extract/Unzip the Firmware zip file, I9300XXUGMK6_I9300OXAGMK6_BTU.zip on your computer (using 7-zip free software, preferably) to get this file: I9300XXUGMK6_I9300OXAGMK6_I9300XXUGMK6_HOME.tar.md5
  3. Move the friwmare file, tar.md5, in the same folder in which you extracted Latest Odin3 v3.09.zip (Just for your convenience, that is). So, now you’ll have the following files in that folder:
    • Odin3 v3.09.exe
    • I9300XXUGMK6_I9300OXAGMK6_I9300XXUGMK6_HOME.tar.md5
  4. Disconnect the Galaxy S3 from PC if it is connected.
  5. Double-click the Odin3 v3.09.exe file to open Odin.
  6. Boot your Samsung Galaxy S3 into Download Mode:
    • Power off your phone first and wait for 6-7 seconds after display is off
    • Press and hold these 3 buttons together until you see Warning! screen: Volume Down + Power + Home
    • Press Volume Up now to continue to Download Mode
      galaxy-s3-download-mode
  7. Connect your Galaxy S3 to PC. Odin window will show an Added!! message in bottom left box. Odin’s screen would look like this:
    Odin 3.09 - Samsung-Galaxy-Odin-Device-Added-Screenshot
    If you don’t get the Added! message, here are some troubleshooting tips:
    • Make sure you have installed driver for Galaxy S3 as said above in ‘Before you begin..’ section.
    • If you have already installed driver, then uninstall them and reinstall back.
    • Connect using a different USB port on your PC.
    • Try a different USB cable. The original cable that came with your phone should work best, if not, try any other cable that’s new and of good quality.
    • Reboot phone and PC and then try again.
  8. Load the firmware file (extracted in Step 1) into Odin as instructed below:
    • Click on the AP button on Odin and select the I9300XXUGMK6_I9300OXAGMK6_I9300XXUGMK6_HOME.tar.md5 file (from step 1). Your Odin window should look like the screenshot below:
      Samsung Galaxy S3 stock fw 4.3 odin
  9. Now in the Option section of Odin, make sure that Re-Partition box is unchecked. (Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time boxes remain checked, while all other boxes remain unchecked.)
  10. Double check the above two steps.
  11. Click the Start button to begin flashing stock firmware on your Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300, and wait until you see a PASS! message in Odin’s top left box.
  12. When you get PASS! message, your phone will restart automatically. You can then disconnect your phone from PC.
    Odin 3.09 - Samsung-Galaxy-Odin-PASS-screenshot

If you see FAIL message instead of the PASS in Odin’s top left box, that’s a problem. Try this now: disconnect your Galaxy S3 from PC, close Odin, remove phone’s battery and put it back inside in 3-4 seconds, open Odin and then repeat from Step 3 of this guide again.

Also, If device is Stuck at setup connection or on any other process, then too, try this: disconnect your S3 from PC, close Odin, remove phone’s battery and put it back inside in 3-4 seconds, open Odin and then repeat from Step 3 of this guide again.

  4. thanks for this page, been looking everywhere for a fix to remove brick from phone, only step required after the pass was to hold volume up, home and power all together while phone attempted reboot. and this then allowed a factory wipe and reset device..

  53. Well my problem is that when i turned on the device i didn’t get any
    vibrates, sounds or the Samsung intro thing. I just got the Samsung
    Galaxy S3 Gt-I9300 icon. When i had the S3 GT-I9300 icon, i could go to
    the menu (where you can change your device to factory mode,delete
    cache,reboot and all the other things). First i tried to reboot my phone
    (when i did that it said Error! and after that the phone shut down and immediately the phone turned on and i got the s3 icon again)
    then i tried to delete my cache but the same thing happened (shut down
    and then the icon appears)…and then i tried to put my device to
    factory mode, (yes, it deleted all of my data but still after that i got
    the S3 icon.) The very last thing i tried to do was going to download
    mode but when i did that my phone just shut down for good. (Black
    screen,nothing happens??) Now i don’t know what to do?

  64. Ok, bit of back ground…..Have this GT-I9300 for Trinidad/Tobago that needed the screen replaced. Replaced the screen without incident. Apon bootup it hung at the Samsung GT-I9300 screen. So my search began. Found out how to get phone into Recovery mode. Tried to do Factory Reset and after it went thru the process it came with Android on its back with a red exclamation mark. Then a bunch of text saying it couldn’t do this and that Rebooted and it stayed on the bootup screen, pulled battery and the moment I put it back it booted up once again at the Boot screen. Pulled the battery again but this time I held the power key for about 10 secs. I was able to have the phone stay turned off when I did this. With a little more research I was able to put the phone into Download mode. Using Kies and a couple of other files I thought I was on my way to fixing my phone. It was working as described in a Youtube video. A blue bar appeared and went about 2/3rds across the screen then it stopped. Waited about half hour and nothing happened. Pulled the battery again, when replaced I believe it booted back into the Download mode. Pulled battery again, pressed power button and held for 10 secs. Replaced battery, booted up but to a screen that looked like white and grey jagged lines running horizontally down the screen. And thats what it does everytime I let it bootup normally. I still can get into the Download mode and the screen is normal. Still can’t get back to the Recovery mode. Done everything stated at the beginning of this thread and still no phone. Anyone got any idea why this has happened.
