Hi everyone , I need your help.

This morning I rebooted the phone itself and got stuck on the boot logo Galaxy SIII . I use CM 11, one of the last nightly. I can get into CWM ( v.6.0.4.3 ) and into DOWNLOAD mode.

After reboot CWM writes :

E: Can not mount / cache / recovery / command
E: Can not mount / cache / recovery / log
E: Can not open / cache / recovery / log
E: Can not mount / cache / recovery / last_log
E: Can not open / cache / recovery / last_log

I tried to wipe data / factory reset + wipe cache + wipe Dalvik and nothing. I tried to install a new rom via CWM nothing. Installation via ODIN also see nothing = FAIL screen . I tried original ROM I9300XXUGMJ9_I9300VFGGMJ5_I9300BUUGMJ3_HOME.tar.md5

Not good, sounds like nand failure. Try the rescue firmware in general forum, follow the instructions exactly as it includes a pit file.

Sorry, new motherboard required. Warranty should cover if still available and flash counter is zero.

Not possible in this case, triangle away runs from inside the rom.

And via ADB? I find this:

Here are the commands to reset the flash counter.

adb shell
su
echo -n '\x00' | dd obs=1 count=1 seek=4193796 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0

The '\x00' portion tells it to reset to to 0.


I try this via ADB and dont work... :(

Of course it doesn't since you have no working ROM with USB debugging enabled. Yesterday I learned that philz recovery provides ADB access from recovery, try to flash that one: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s3/orig-development/i93xx-philz-touch-t2002953

Also try to flash stock recovery and perform format /data/ and factory reset. Sometimes stock recovery manages to fix this issue.
