    Galaxy S3: Frozen on Samsung Start Screen after Software Update

    Is this what you are seeing? Is this what you are seeing? I can't believe that I'd be experiencing the same problem you had. This is my third time to experience system crash with my S3. And now I'm getting f*cked up with this thing. That "unrecognizable" thing happened to me as well and I...

    ODIN is pre-installed in S3. You don't have to install it. Good job! Glad it worked for you too! I can see you are using Kies. Please try Kies3 instead. I did use Kies3 for my S3 recovery and as provided with steps, it worked... and with others here too.

    unfortunately, Google Play Store has stopped

    I have tried all of the above suggestion but never worked for my S3 running an Android 4.3. Instead, I made use of factory reset to resolve the issue. Beware, all your data shall be erased. Contacts, Messages, Notes, Reminders, Installed Apps (except those that are pre-installed), Photos...

    No worries. Glad it worked for you. Nope. Just don't proceed with factory reset. Just follow the instructions provided in the earlier part of this thread. Let me know your progress.

    You sure it's the device model you have? Avoid spaces as well. My pleasure... glad it worked in your end. Cheers! With me, I did not lose a single data. Everything was intact as before. Are you using Kies 3? Have you double checked your S/N?

    Happy to hear that! Cheers! Have you tried the steps I wrote in the earlier part of this thread? It says at step #6: "Ignore if you see some prompts that say your device is unrecognized." Happy to hear that ma'am! To which particular step (the one I have provided) you are stuck in? So I...

    Nope. They are different. You can find your S/N on your device's box, inside your device (you will have to remove the battery in order to see it), or on your transaction receipt when you purchased your device. My pleasure hafiz mohamad! Glad it worked for you as well. I'm not quite sure how...

    Re: S3 Frozen on Samsung Start Screen after Software Update I came to know that one possible reason why this weird stuff happened is that, our devices might have applications not being updated to their respective latest versions prior to installing the latest Android version, in my case, 4.3...

    Galaxy S3: Frozen on Samsung Start Screen after Software Update

    Re: S3 Frozen on Samsung Start Screen after Software Update I'm pretty sure this is exactly my case. After downloading the 4.3 upgrade from (4.1.2) via software update in the Settings menu, when rebooting, my S3 got stuck in the booting stage, that is, the Galaxy S3 black screen. See below...
