[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.

HELP! :(

My phone is stuck in bootloop, and My Volume down button does not work, so im unable to remove the battery and boot it into CWM for a restore..
is there anyway to get into cwm without volume down or booting into the os as im stuck in bootloop?

Using adb maybe although I don't know if you would be able to.
Try adb devices in command prompt with the phone connected to the computer.
If it shows up then type adb reboot recovery and it'll boot into recovery but since you are in a bootloop that may not work.

yeah it doesn't boot into the os so my pc won't recognize it
i could fix this if my freaking volume down button would work?? does anyone thing this will be covered under my samsung 1 yr manufacturers warranty??? has anyone delt with them on something like this??

Any way you can persuade the volume button to work?
Well I have never had dealings with them so really can answer that question bit you could tell them you had a defective volume button and corrupted memory.
I think that is kinda common for these, it would be a good excuse for the bootloop.

thing is it's sporting the Franco kernel boot animation
any tricks for making this button work????
i've tried to poke inside with a screw driver, it's not obstructed at all it's just not responding..

I had the same problem. You need to put your phone into stock and start over again. It's pain and time consuming but it's better than having a paper weight. Remember our phone is hard to brick so have that positive note and for the future reference what not to do. Cheers!

Ah I see...
Hmmmm, the only way is to play around with it, press it down and move it around. Push it left and right" that kinda thing. Trial and error.
Maybe before you bring it to the shop let the battery go completely dead so they don't see the boot animation.

How did you return your device to stock if you couldn't boot into recover or the os?

If it is boot looping then your ok because they can't see anything. IMHO your good to go.

They can see his non-stock boot animation though

hmm but the thing is it's rocking the franco kernel boot animation

arguably, it really is a hardware issue thats preventing me from repairing my phone..
im hoping they won't just up and say that it's rooted so we dont' cover phsyical issues..
i've only had this phone 2.5 months

This is tough... So your vol buttons are broken? Hmm only solution would be adb or warranty... Sorry bud I'm out of options

No!!!!
Tell them nothing of the sort!! Say broken volume rocker or corrupted eMMC.

So basically because i can't reset the flash counter on the phone there's no way i can send it in the state that it's in as i've flashed several roms on it, i ordered one of those usb jigs off of ebay to hopefully put it into odin mode so i can restore it..

If there's anyone reading this that's in Vancouver BC that has a jig that might want to help a guy out i'd be forever greatful

as far as I know there is no flash counter in the gnex.

[Q] SDS Sudden Death Syndrome (CALLING SPRINT?)

Hey guys!
QUICK SPECS:
- SPH-L710RWBSPR (Marble White 16gb version)
- Under a year old
Okay so I'm almost certain my s3 has Sudden Death Syndrome as it won't turn on each time, and fails to stay on after occasionally turning on once. The power button has failed I can tell, as the power menu randomly pops up when its on, and then BOOM the screen goes black and it's off again. I have tried multiple batteries, download mode, recovery mode, usb recognition from the computer, heck even adb into recovery.. NO AVAIL. So, all in all, my beautiful phone - is now an :angel:
Now --- my question is! WHAT SHOULD I SAY TO SPRINT OVER THE PHONE? In order to get a free replacement phone? There's no Samsung Service Center around me and so I must go through Sprint. I just don't want to deal with any representatives that think the way to deal with customers is like a child. ESPECIALLY when the customer could do their job better than them. ANYWAY, /endrant. I read from a post it's safe to say, ""I charged my phone for 3 hours before bed.. unplugged it... and screen flashed white... and it keeps rebooting itself and it wont stop.."...Do NOT tell them you left it on the charger for 5+ hours!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thats possible internal damage and voids warranty.""
Should I do that, or just tell the truth and say "My phone has the Sudden Death Syndrome and I would like a replacement."
Thanks guys, I appreciate the input.
Colton

Um idk where you read the 5+ hours can hurt your phone. Every newer electronic device has overload protection built into it.
I would just explain to them whats happening. They most likely will walk you through the usual trouble shooting steps. Or you can take it to a Authorized Sprint Service center.

Okay, thanks man. I'm just worried about the whole "if your're rooted your warranty is void" thing. Because I'm running a custom ROM on my phone, but if it is impossible to boot up, Sprint won't be able to tell right? So I'm all good right?

If they get it booted up, then yes they could. I've seen a Authorized Sprint Service center repair a broken power button. But I've also seen them just issue a refurb. It depends on the tech that looks at it. Idk if they would just issue you a refurb over the phone without one of their techs looking at it.

Yes they could look at it, but it's not just the power button that's broken. The issue with Sudden Death Syndrome is that it's an eMMC Firmware malfunction and so the chip is messed up, and so basically this is all Samsung's fault, not mine. I have read in this case, I would not get a refurbished phone, I would get a brand new replacement.
Also, I have tried to see if I can revert to stock again. But in my situation, is there any way to even do that? My computer doesn't recognize my phone when I try to connect it, and I can't get into download mode or recovery or anything.
Could I possibly try this method? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43305728 even if my phone has the SDS issue?

This^
The SDS forQualcomm S3's is that the power button gets sunken in its socket, or otherwise damaged and causes the phone to continuously power itself off.

Okay, have you come across a fix in my situation then?
Compressed air can? Hitting the power button on the end of a washer? What do you think Cnexus?

LOL. Don't do the second one. Unless you have an upgrade/money to buy a new phone...
Compressed air has helped people. Also taking it apart and messing with the power button a bit and then putting it back together, as well as just jiggling the power button around
All you really need is for it to stay alive long enough for you to boot into DL mode and Odin back to stock

Alright cool I'll do that man. Do I just youtube "how to take a galaxy s3 apart and mess with power button" or what? Is there a guide somehwere? I'll have to buy a small screwdriver right?
And odin to stock MD4 right?
Also, there's no hope for backing up my phone at this point right? I haven't backed it up in a while.

[Q] Bricked T999

I have a GS3 that was rooted with a CM rom. I was using it the other day and the screen just suddenly went black. I tried rebooting it and popping out the battery, but to no avail. I can't boot it into download or recovery mode either.
When I put in the battery, the phone vibrates but nothing else. When I plug in the USB cable with no battery, it vibrates and the LED comes on for a few seconds before flickering off.
My first priority is data recovery, I've been a bad boy and haven't backed up my data for a while. My second priority is making it so they can't tell I have a flashed ROM when I send it out for warranty service, though AFAIK, this may be a nonissue.
I tried to make a 300k jig, and it didn't work (assuming I got the pins right).

Have you tried KAsp3rd's debrick method?

I'm not stuck in QHSUSB-DLOAD as far as I can tell. Would it still be effective?

Could be. It basically allows you to boot download mode from the sdcard. From there you Odin flash the firmware and hopefully that would fix it. But if it's a hardware failure, which it could be per your description, I doubt anything will work.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk

New update. I figured out that the 300k ohm resistor trick DOES work, but only for like three seconds. Meaning that they'll be able to see the custom binary count, but (as far as I know) I can't reset it to 0.
The weird part is that it only works if I plug the usb jig into the phone before putting the battery in, if I put the battery in first, it doesn't work. It almost seems like it constantly thinks the power button is being pressed or something.
I guess I'm opening it up and looking for a short. The power button operates normally tactile-y speaking.
EDIT: new new update. I wasn't able to find anything physical when I looked at the pcb. But I verified my theory, somewhat. When I hold home and volume up/down (without touching the power button) when I put the battery in, it boots into download mode for a second before shutting down.
It's not behaving exactly like it would if it was only that though, because I tried holding the power button down on the t999l I got as a replacement, while inserting the battery, and the boot screen shows up for a few, where a boot screen never shows up on the bad phone.
DOUBLE EDIT: can I swap that pcb with the one from the t999l, or are they too dissimilar? Would I be able to swap it with one from another t999, or does the board that has the power switch also have the onboard storage?
TRIPLE EDIT: I answered my own question, the eMMC and the power switch are on the same board. But if the fault is caused by something else (e.g. a camera), would I be able to plug all the other hardware from the t999l into the t999, or can I just boot up the t999 without most of the hardware connected as a test?

I would not risk going through all that trouble. Not quite sure why you would honestly. You got a T999L right? Warranty replacement I assume? It's a superior device so why my not just use it as is?

1. I really want my data back.
2. I risk getting charged for out of warranty if they see it was rooted and flashed.
3. I'm going to sell it anyways, I got a note 3 because the S3 was on backorder and I couldn't do my job without a smartphone.

1. I'm sorry to say, but plan on this not being possible.
2. If it won't boot there is little chance you'd have to worry about it. They aren't going to go to extraordinary measures to check k the counter. Many people have claimed they sent a dead device back and never got charged, even though the counter had been tripped.
If you damage the good hardware you won't have much to sell.
I don't understand why you'd be willing to attempt to Frankenstein the two devices, but not at least attempt the debrick method I mentioned.
Also, you should be aware, even if it's something else, not a bad chip, it probably won't work. Much of the hardware is in fact different between the two. Different camera, different radios, different SoC....
I wish you luck if you decide to try this, but imo you are taking an awful big risk to try something that probably won't work anyway.
If your data is really that important maybe you should look into a data recovery service.
And in the future, back up back up back up!
Good luck whatever you decide. Let us know what happens.

Reading through the whole thread, I am going to agree with the Doc. Why would you go to all that trouble ? Nobody is going to be able to salvage that data, let alone snoop in it. You are best move on rather than Creating that Frankenstein Monster as Doc aptly put it.

The frankenphone would only have been for if the phone didn't work without the camera/speaker/etc connected. However when I disconnect everything from the main board except for the screen, I get the same behavior. So I guess the only thing I would want to test would be the touchscreen. I can't find any info on if the t999l touchscreen is compatible with the t999 board, but if anyone knows, that would be great.
I'm still going to try the microsd card debrick method, I was concentrating on the usb jig last night since that got me further than anything else so far.
As to why, I have pictures and whatnot on the phone that I want to save, as well as a bunch of work crap that will take me dozens of hours to recreate, plus a bunch of other personal stuff. If I can't get it, then I can't get it, but I want to exhaust my resources (within reason) before giving up.

Try JTAG instead of this if sdcard doesn't work. Most of t999l hardware is supposed to be identical. Since partition are potentially different. So phone may not boot. But you might be able to do adb. Good luck.

Actually it's the other way around. Partition layout is the same (though firmware incompatible) and hardware is definitely different.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk

SD card didn't work, looking for jtag instructions.
EDIT: The more I look, the more it looks like a faulty power switch. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like I have a way to short the power switch or something in a way that doesn't void the warranty...
Any help on this is appreciated.

Well, I think I'm completely screwed now.
I found this, http://androidforums.com/samsung-ga...-help-black-screen-vibrating.html#post5262715 and somehow managed to lift the freaking solder pads.
What do you think the chances that they won't charge me a couple hundred dollars for "out of warranty service" are?
EDIT: good news: Confirmed that the cable that I lifted the solder pads on, which I assume is an antenna, probably isn't the problem (unplugged it on the t999l, and it works fine).
bad news: I also confirmed the power switch itself isn't the problem either. The left and right hand side aren't connected (according to my multimeter) when the button isn't pressed, but they are when it is.
Another edit: I unconfirmed the power switch part. It looks like the button only needs the slightest contact in order to short. I removed the power button from the case, surprisingly difficult since I saw people complaining about it falling out. Now the difficult part is making it think the switch is closed for long enough to not turn it on, but not long enough to turn it back off. I've gotten it to the boot logo, but I haven't gotten it to fully boot.
Yet another EDIT: the only way I can get it to turn on long enough to see the boot logo is by smacking it in my hand after it turns on, which seems to interrupt the constant button press signal. From the metering on the switch, it seems that even less contact is needed to turn on the phone than to signal the multimeter. Any suggestions as to somewhere to cut the power switch signal other than the power switch?

Really could use your help!

So I'm not new by any means to xda or fixing electronics of any sort so I'd not be here asking for ALL possibilities of assistance I can get. .. Throw any possible solution you can my way as it can't hurt to try most ideas.
I'm working on my brothers SPRINT model galaxy S3. This thing is in pristine condition never dropped always in his Otterbox.
It will not power on so I cannot get into download mode however I can, if I finagle it enough get glimpses of the screen flashing on so I can see the battery icon for 5 seconds like it wants to power on
He bought a brand new battery direct from Samsung yet when plugged in via Samsung Wall charger nothing. .. No charging light zilch. If I try the USB charger that came with it nothing either.
No lights. No powering on. No way to get into download mode to try to bring it back from literally working before going to bed then he said he woke up and it was like a brick.
Any idea if there is a way to get this working again seeing that I get no power at all?
Thanks

I'd have to agree with @MIKEY309 on this one. It sounds like a power button issue. I would think you'd have at the least a charging light, because even when it's powered off it displays a charging battery on the screen. Jigs are cheap and easy, and good to have on hand, so I say give that a shot, at least, and if that doesn't work, then go the button route. Good luck!

It must likely is the power button, but try pulling the battery out & give it about ten minutes… put the battery back in & try powering it back up. I know it sounds stupid but give it a try, I had something like this happen to me before & this worked for me. Good luck.

Jessooca said:
Thanks guys, I was actually pretty sure it was the ever so infamous failed power switch on the board, which everything I have done and tried suggests so. I just thought perhaps maybe there was a possibility it could be fixable without having to get that power switch replaced.
I can slap it against my leg and voila, it always vibrates and attempts to power on, sometimes It'll stay powered on, I did get it into download mode and used a stock firmware file to Odin it back to stock, my only concern is that darn Custom Binary Trip counter now, I may just find a local shop to see if they'll replace it for less than $50 I am also considering buying a bad esn/ or cracked screen Sprint SIII to swap out the boards with, unless someone has one to donate. For now though I'll be without a phone until I can afford to get it replaced.
Thanks again!
