[Q] Bricked T-Mobile Galaxy S3, Advice Needed - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

My friend talked me into rooting his S3 last night and that went well, but then he googled around and saw that in order to install cyanogenmod you needed to update your bootloader. He pointed me to the thread, I downloaded it for him, installed it, but when I rebooted the phone it showed no signs of life.
Is there any hope for this? I tried the debricking method found in this forum but that does absolutely nothing.

Odin to stock

Try the debrick method again and double check you are following everything exactly as stated. Ask for help there if needed

also have read that sometimes takes more than one try and also maybe try with different SD card.

Change out your sd card with a different one, sounds crazy but it seems to be working for some people, myself included. As a side note, could you let me know if the one it came with was a samsung or a sandisk?
mine was a Sandisk

It's been 30 mins, I pull the battery out, try to get in download/recovery mode and nothing will happen. Won't even charge properly or connect to the computer. I've looked at this link but it requires having it connect to a computer.

What the hell happened to my phone and what can I do to fix it? I don't care if the whole thing is factory reset.
Edit: Finally got it to respond to download mode. Now trying to restore it to FC09
Make sure you have a good cable and use the PIT file.

[Q] Root N7105 build JZO54K.N7105XXDMB3 with TOOLKIT

Hello, I found this tool kit http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957155 and looks great, I also found a video on Youtube that teaches you how to use this tools and doesn't seems too complicated.
The thing is that my build is JZO54K.N7105XXDMB3, which doesn't appears to be available in this utility.

The phone is probably imported from somewhere around the UK, as the plug looks like this.
(Random image taken from Google)
It might be an International LTE version, I'm not sure, because it doesn't say something like Verizon, or whatever, it's just the standard phone.
Help will be very appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

First time trouble rooting an android device.

Hello xda
I'm trying to root my Samsung Galaxy S8+ SM-G955U. I've never rooted a phone before and I seem to be running into trouble. I have download the correct version of Odin and what I believe to be the correct software, although I am a bit fuzzy on how to transfer everything over to my phone. I have developer options and USB debugging turned on. However OEM is not in my developer options and every time I try and connect my phone to my computer I get and error message. Ill attach a few screen shots for reference. I have the latest USB drivers. Can I fix this? Can I still root my S8+?
Thank You
