GT-I9300 Won't enter recovery mode.. Please help

[tucksnz]

Hi team

Quick question. My S3 won't enter recovery mode.

Using the 3 key sequence, the phone boots into a screen with the android symbol. Then a counter starts from 0% and builds through to 100% and then reboots.

The problem with this is once it gets too the Samsung logo, the music cuts off halfway through and then gets stuck at the Samsung logo.

I have tried everything to get this working. I get into development mode using Kies, but when I try to proceed with re adding firmware it won't proceed.

Custom Binary Download: No
Current Binary: Samsung Official
System Status: Official

I'm almost at my wits end. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

In full agreement with the previous poster. You can find the firmware here - select your device in the drop-down list in the upper left corner and download the latest version. You can find Odin (just Google it - look for v3.07 - pick a source on XDA) and instructions http://forums.androidcentral.com/showthread.php?p=2955016
