hi guys, first time poster, basicly my sons gs3 was updating itself ota the other day then turned off, it wouldnt reboot or switch on at all, no lights when plugged in or connected to the computer, tried a new battery and tried the pull the battery and still nothing, ive managed to get it into download mode using a usb jig, and when connecting it to the computer the pc starts loading drivers, so i think im right in thinking this can be recovered, it was bought second hand a couple of years ago so dont know what version of android was on it before it crashed, i think it was rooted with a custom rom, ive tried kies but it seems to hang on connecting, also i see people saying that when in download mode there phone says odin mode? mine says factory mode at the top
factory mode
product name gt-i9300
custom binary download yes 11 counts
current binary custom
system status custom
this is all i can get the phone to do using the jig, am i doing something wrong?
odin connects to it but fails when installing firmware as im not sure i got the right stock rom, not sure where to get the right one from.
