[GUIDE] How To Restore A Stuck Samsung Galaxy SI, SII and SIII

Restoring A Stuck Samsung Galaxy SI, SII and SIII​

Is your phone stuck like this?

Then read on! If not, this may only be useful for those who want to go back to the original Samsung Firmware.

Introduction
Too many people are getting stuck on the Samsung logo so I decided to make a tutorial on how to
get yourself off it. It is a simple tutoiral and noob friendly, but it will take time and patience because
the stock firmware is not just 300mb but can go into 1GB and more. This should on Samsung
Galaxy SI, SII, SIII. They are all tested and working, you may experiment on other phones if you
wish and you have no other choice. Read on for the downloads and instructions.

Downloads
Odin v3.07 - Click Here
Your Firmware - Find Here

Instructions
1. Go here and select your phone and its correct version's official firmware here: http://samsung-updates.com/latest-firmware/
2. Download Odin v3.07
3. Turn phone off completely and put it into download mode (Down Volume, Home Button and Power Button together).
4. After downloading the official firmware extract it and open Odin.
5. Select Auto Boot and F. Reset and put that .md5 file in the PDA section. NOTE: There should be COM: (PORT NUMB) in the first box.
6. Click Start and wait. If it succeeded then it will say PASS in green.

NOTE: This has worked for me and other people have confirmed it working for them after testing.
But if something more happens to your phone, I am not responsible.

Good luck.

This is just a stock firmware flash via Odin as per multiple guides on the forum .
Its not getting off a stuck logo its re flashing full firmware in many cases a factory reset should be the first step or a reflash through recovery of the custom rom .


Multiple exact same guides in my view only confuse noobs .

A wipe data often fixes that too, if you have custom recovery,a dalvik/cache wipe could potentially fix it.
A re-flash of the Rom could fix it

.....indeed many things "could" fix it........I know your intentions are good, but could you refrain from posting links to this thread every time a problem comes up, because often the solution is much easier

Try different USB cables and USB ports. Try flashing the latest stock ROM from sammobile.com.

Yes, i've already done that still nothing.
Could it be hardware related issue?

You confirmed the model # in download mode? It fails with the original Samsung usb cables too?
