I restored my phone to stock then made a backup using CMW. I placed the CWM back up in the original_update folder of the android kitchen. Then went into the android kitchen and deodexed, rooted and intalled busy box. Then i built the rom, signed it, placed it on my SD, card booted into recovery, flashed SuperWipe then flashed the rom I made. It installed fine and booted up but i didn't have any signal. So i let it sit for about 5 minutes then Powered off my phone but it stayed at the Good Buy screen for like ten minutes so i pulled the battery, when i tried to boot it back up it wouldn't do any thing. I held the power button down and nothing happened. I tried plugging in a usb cable and my phone still would't do anything Its completely unresponsive
Any suggestions?

I sadly did the same thing. I'm still trying to figure out what I did wrong in the kitchen to brick my phone. Mine powered up as well but upon restart it bricked. But its sad to say but its bricked. I did a warranty exchange. If you connect the phone to the computer it will register as qhsusb_dload and not an Android phone. Best of luck.

Unfortunately I don't have a contract with T-Mobile so i can't do a warranty exchange. I ordered the USB Jig and i'm gunna see if that fixes it, if not I guess it's just a paper weight :\

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but if its registering as a ghsusb_dload device, a jig won't work.....how do I know you may ask? Cause I tried that as well before the exchange. Haha. Good news is you can pay someone to jtag your device. I think its like 50-100 but way better than 600 for a new phone. You should be able to find the link around the forums somewhere.

I just bricked my rooted T989. Nothing happens when I hit power (no display) and my PC does not show the drives when I connect via USB. I have tried vol buttons + power (with battery and [no battery + cable]). Does anyone have any ideas as to what I should try next? Is TMO likely to replace/repair my phone even though it had been rooted?
Have you tried getting into download mode? And what caused the brick?

This is really embarassing but I somehow stumbled up WickedRom, which is for the I9100, somehow thought it was for T989, and tried to flash it. Obviously a major league screw up. I have requested a replacement from TMO. I just hope they don't hit me with a major financial penalty if Samsung notices that it has been rooted (it was rooted when I tried flashing WickedRom).

Same thing happened here... I was odining back to stock and the power in my office at work went out... total fail. All Black, no power button, battery pull or Jig will make the phone do anything... anyone find a work around for this... I did this to my VIB before and was able to get it to work again but this just feels bad. Any help is appreciated. Los Angeles area dev's feel free to come play with it.
hey i know im new here but i got the answer... u need 2 odin back 2 stock 4 download mode pull battery plug usb into computer then 2 phone hold vol up and trackpad then insert battery and u will be in download mode also if using CWM dont fix permissions and also dont forget 2 place unzipped recovery file in /system/bin folder and overwrite it over existing file also make sure that cache, data, sdcard ,and system are all unmounted in mounts option of recovery took me 3 days of flashin back 2 stock with odin and soft bricking my phone 2 figure this out hope it helps

perhaps people should have shown a bit more support?
Your fault !
Damn that sounds bad, big mistake on your part though, differentiating between i9100 and T-989 is key, among the other models too.
Mine did the same thing after doing a backup. I'm in the 30 day grace period and I'm gonna try to take it back in.. Hopefully I get away with it unless I find a way to fix it

Only way is to send it to Samsung or get it JTAG. JTAG will probably be cheaper.
I was trying to go back to 2.3.x using ODIN after I installed the KP8 (update for a "leaked" ics) on my phone. Now my computer won't read the phone on download mode. Anyone have a fix for this?
Or do you know if that USB JIG will fix it?
that was not for our phone....malciado....jtag is your only fix
sent from the near past
Yea..... GSM + CDMA = your screwed
There is no leak for ICS for our phones yet.
So you flashed the GSM version.
2 options:
Sprint insurance
or
buy a new phone
No one has been successful at jtag, I wouldn't even waste my time.

Look up JTAG on Google. I believe they charge $50 for unbricking service. You'll be out of a phone for awhile, but it's not like the phone is going to do you any good in its current state anyways.
Good luck.

Yea bro just placed my order from Mobile Tech Videos i'll post up how everything went to help others out with this problem. Good thing I kept my EVO for backup
I can vouch that nothing will work. I had someone send me theirs to try and,I installed drivers through Kies, got drivers from XDA, tried a USB jig, hard reset, my SD card with Mobile Odin on it, etc, etc, etc. If when you hold volume up and power and you have the green Android guy holding a box and your phone says I9100, its jtag or nothing. I spent a week (about an hour a day) trying everything. If your phone powers on but you can't connect to wifi or SD card isn't recognized and no network is found, don't even waste your time. I tried because I hoped I could pull it off with the help of some of the great minds from around here but it just wouldn't be recognized by Odin....and it does beep when I plug it into my laptop....so close yet so far

I flashed my wife's phone and ended up with this same issue. I tried everything with no success. Luckily the phone was within the 14 day period and was able to return it and get a replacement.
Just told them the battery would not last 4 HRS, it was fully stock besides the bootloader.
Odin wouldn't recognize it but the pc would. Tried mobile Odin, tried flashing anything and everything, nothing would work.

Agreed-
Try pulling the battery and waiting a few seconds, then try to reboot. I did something while installing a rom and the phone booted but just showed a black screen but I didn't realize it.
It does help to know exactly what it was you tried to flash.

What rom did you flash...be specific...and where did you find it from?
Do you have TMobile PHP? If you do then you can get a replacement S3 for $5 from TMobile customer care. That is probably the easist way to fix this issue.

Reboot into recovery mode and wipe cache, dalvik cache and do a factory reset in recovery.
Do NOT wipe/format system.
Then reboot the phone and it should work fine.

You are about about the 50th person in the past couple months who done the same thing, flashing a 9300 rom.
The only way to get the phone back into proper working condition is to send it off to be Jtag'ed.
There are some very good deals on Jtag if you go to eBay and search for "JTAG Galaxy S3".
Good Luck!

I was flashing a rom last night using twrp and after the rom was finished it said something like "no rom is installed on phone" so after seeing this I automatically tried another rom and it it seemed to have installed properly so I rebooted the and it never came back on. Doesn't vibrate, doesn't show charging symbol nor will it enter into download mode. The strange thing is when plugged into my pc it gets recognized but it shows this driver error message "driver for qualcomm cdma technologies msm" and the phone gets warm around the camera indicating that it may actually be charging. I've never experienced anything like this and I have searched for bricked solutions but this seems quite unique and I have found no similar cases. Is my phone completely bricked or can it be bought back to life?? If someone can help me it'd be greatly appreciated thanks

Try unbrick sgII, heimdall or buy a little download jig for $5. Usually the phone is a complete brick if the computer says QHSUSB D_LOAD attached. You're phone shouldn't say cdma anything since its a gsm phone so something is wrong there. What rom did you flash?

Yea the cdma thing threw me off to when I first saw it...I just purchased a jig from ebay. I really hope it works cause I was just contemplating selling this phone to put towards an upgrade.The roms I flashed were (can't remember which order) Liquid-JB-v2.0-RC9-hercules and Liquid-JB-v2.0-RC9-d2tmo. Like I said I flashed one after it was done I went to hit reboot and it said there was no rom present on the phone. So I'm thinking good heads up so nervously not thinking I immediately flashed the other. It loaded fine I got no "no rom" warning so I hit reboot system as usual and then...nothing, won't do anything. Tried going into download mode and it just kinda acts as if I'm removing and inserting the usb cable back and forth and it says I need to format my disc
I'm guessing you flashed the d2tmo one second? That's the T-Mobile Galaxy S3. Sorry man, you're bricked

Yea the cdma thing threw me off to when I first saw it...I just purchased a jig from ebay. I really hope it works cause I was just contemplating selling this phone to put towards an upgrade.The roms I flashed were (can't remember which order) Liquid-JB-v2.0-RC9-hercules and Liquid-JB-v2.0-RC9-d2tmo. Like I said I flashed one after it was done I went to hit reboot and it said there was no rom present on the phone. So I'm thinking good heads up so nervously not thinking I immediately flashed the other. It loaded fine I got no "no rom" warning so I hit reboot system as usual and then...nothing, won't do anything. Tried going into download mode and it just kinda acts as if I'm removing and inserting the usb cable back and forth and it says I need to format my disc

i'll guess I'll wait for the jig to come if that doesn't work I guess I'll use my warranty I really don't wanna go that route being dishonest...but that's my last resort.

Ok thanks, hopefully it goes smooth. Plus i'm sure do the cost to replace still doesn't cover the amount of money i've paid for insurance so I guess it all evens out in the end lol
Did the jig work?
I have the same exact issue. For some odd reason I wanted to flash the d2mo rom also those heavy drinking nights should not be spent flashing roms to show you are cool to your friends. Regardless made a jig and did not work. jig worked on another friends samsung so know the jig works but not on my s2. Anyone know if at this point a jtag might bring it back to life?.
If you flashed the d2tmo you are toast. That is for the s3. Different kernel and processor.

Hey guys . I Picked up a three month old galaxy this morning. I have had problems rooting before but always managed to fix them but this I cannot figure out. Here is exactly what I did and what happened.
1.First I rooted my phone using GalaxyS3RootUSCanadaMac.
2. Downloaded the following, superuser, ezunlock, and rom manager.
3. Flashed clokworkrecovery through rom manager.
4. Unlocked the bootloader with ezunlock
5. Tried to reboot into recovery via clockwork and it would just hang and never reboot.
6. Decided to do a restart , so I clicked power on the right hand side and selected restart.
7. Fell asleep and woke up to a dead phone.
I cannot get it to boot at all , not even in download mode. I get no lights or vibrations when trying to boot. If I remove the battery and hook the usb cord in I get a red light at the top but not with the battery in.
Any info on what I might have done wrong or what I can try to do to fix it would be great.
Thanks in advance guys.

This is completely inapplicable to the i747m, and the reason your phone's bricked.
Unless you can somehow get into download mode, you're going to need a JTAG to recover it.

Any suggestions n how to get into download mode? Also I have a usb JTAG from programming cable boxes but Im not sure if it will work?
I believe I read about someone else who used this. The unlocker is made for the Verizon variant. You will need JTAG service to get your phone up and running.

That's fraud big time! If you would have read up you wouldnt be in this situation. In all honestly I hope you have to come out of pocket because stunts like this is what makes those who do have REAL problems with their phone get the run around from companies.

Looks like Samsung has come through and is going to warranty it. It was repaired today by having the board replaced. Hopefully I will have it back next week.

That's not fraud? That's called a warranty

Wow. Why can't they people read?? This is the reason companies don't want to to warranty anything because of crap like this.
