[Q] HELP! Bricked!

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?

I was flashing a new ROM and it bricked when it finished flashing. It just never rebooted. I can't get into download mode.

What rom did you flash?

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.

[Q] Download Mode Not Working After KP8 Install

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.

Sigh. Add one more to the list of bricked phones due to flashing an ICS leak meant for the International SGS2. As said above, your only option is to send the phone to JTAG if you want to use it again.

I'm screwed. I flashed this phone to Cricket so no insurance. And I doubt Samsung will warranty it if though it has a clean esn with Sprint right?

Can anyone vouch for this?

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.

Think I bricked phone using Android kitchen

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.

[Q] Galaxy S III Fried

Would appreciate if anyone could help
Bought a brand new Galaxy S III from T-Mobile, a week ago. On the same day I rooted it, using these instructions galaxys3root dot com/galaxy-s3-root/how-to-root-t-mobile-galaxy-s3-sgh-t999/. . . Worked out great.
Then I used this ROM called Deodexed_Debloated_T999UVALEM, and that worked out fine.
Today I decided to use this rom: Criskelo_6.0.1_Stock_XXBLG9_ota
And while it was installing, it asked for an update file, which I did not have.. So I chose the option to reboot the phone. Since then the phone has been practically dead, and here are the symptoms:
1. The phone does not power up, in any mode
2. When connected to the pc, pc cannot recognize it
3. Installed Kies, and drivers, nothing changed
4. Plugged to the charger, and nothing changed
5. Removed the batter for over an hour and repeated the above and nothing changed
Does anyone know what I can to salvage this phone?
Thank you

The problem here is that you flashed an International rom onto a T-Mobile Galaxy S3. The only solution I could think of would be to flash back to stock using Kies but that isn't really possible unless the phone is able to go into download mode.

No , shouldn't take more than 10 seconds.
Sorry to hear that man, but in the future PLEASE RESEARCH before you get flash happy. International version of the GSIII has completely different hardware inside.
You need to stick to T-Mobile GSIII roms, or don't flash them at all. Might be a good candidate for stock rooted, or no root at all.

Pull battery. Put battery back in and hold Vol down, home and power, until it vibrates, then let power go but hold the other two until download mode comes up.

Flashing different carrier ROMs and kernels will result in hard bricking your phone!!! Only flash ROMs and kernals that is for your phone model!!!

Yup... we CAN in fact flash kernels and att roms... its modems/radios from other carriers that shouldn't be flashed. We can also flash some sprint and verizon roms, but as they are CDMA it'll take some more advance modding, to get them to run full and proper... probably a little over the OP's head, but just saying.
Still alls not lost, look into Jtag as others have suggested...

If u hard brickd your phone the $5 usb dongle JTAG will not unbrick it! You need to send it in for a jtage reflash!

I Think I Bricked My Phone.. Any Advice?

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.

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.
