cry a little, maybe the phone will accept your apologizes and resurrect from the dead
again it may not work so don't get your hopes up to high ITS A TRIAL AND ERROR situation WITH HARD BRICKS...........
some people have successfully debricked their device, so again you have to be patient and know exactly what you are doing and dont panic
Remember Mobiletechvideos.com can fix it in less than 25 minutes depending on your phone :laugh:and they are affordable :good:
Your pretty much stuck if you can't recover via SD card.
Remember there are a lot of options for JTAG repair, research local repairs by Kijiiji and also places like Mobile Tech Videos. Always search for legitimacy and best price.

Can’t access to Download Mode or Recovery Mode after bricking AT&T Galaxy S3 i744 4.3
Hi I have (had) a AT&T galaxy S3 i747 with android 4.1.1

Because the phone is in another country I couldn’t update it by OTA to android 4.3
So I started to read forums that said how to Update AT&T S3 i747 to android 4.3 (I747UCUEMJB)
The S3 was not Root
I installed all the phone drivers in the computer
This is what I did: (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52341582&postcount=38)
- Use Odin 3.07
- Check Auto Reboot and Re-Partition, and uncheck all the boxes
- I put my phone in USB debugging in the developer options
- I turned it off
- Started to put the phone on Download Mode pressing volume DW+home+power button at the same time
- In Odin on the PDA box I checked and loaded the file .tar.md5 (I747UCUEMJB_2024954_REV04_user_low_ship.tar.md5 )
- Pressed the button Start
The installation seemed to go right, the program never showed anything weird.
When the Programs finished the installation the phone turned off and then turned on and show the logo of android (seemed to be lying down or inclined) and after that it turned off.
The computer showed that something was connected (QHSUSB_DLOAD) but couldn’t install any driver, so I disconnected it of the computer.
I couldn’t turn on the phone :crying:, I took the battery out and put it in and tried to start the phone and nothing happened, I tried pressing any button to access to recovery o download mode and none of this worked.
I started to search forums that talk about restart or turn on a brick AT&T S3 i747
I found one (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2549068) that said to download a image (debrick-SGH-I747U-CUEMJB3.img) and using the program “Win32DiskImager” to put the image inside of a micro SD to make the phone turn on,
I put the micro SD inside the phone and when I pushed the power button for almost 3 seconds it Turned on , the phone seems to be fine an it has android 4.3 (I747UCUEMJB) installed.
I can use it normally so far.
But the problem is that I can’t turn on the phone if the micro SD card is not inserted on the phone.
Without the micro SD inside don’t show any sign of life
When the micro SD is inside I can turn on the phone and use its apps.
I have tried to enter to Recovery mode or Download mode with the micro SD inside but the phone only show what its supposed to happen for 1 second then turns off and then turns on by its own (after that I can use it normally)
Does anyone know how can I Fix my phone ?
How can I boot my phone without using the micro SD card?
How can I access to download mode?
And if I could access to download mode what should I do next ?
The only files I have now are:
Odin3 v3.07
I747UCUEMJB_2024954_REV04_user_low_ship.tar.md5(905 Mb)
debrick-SGH-I747U-CUEMJB3.img (80 Mb)

It's been a while sorry about beinging away.
A guy who says that have a JTAG service tried and coudn't recover it. So I left it there because it have a broken display and a broken firmware and it' is from outside Brazil and after the FIFA CUP Anatel will lock operation of devices that models are not sold on Brazil and I747 is probably included on the list.
So i gave up from my phone and bought a Nexus 5.
The case is closed!

Here's what you can do to get the device back to working and booting normally. If the Odin flash failed first time, you should not use this flash again. Instead you should use custom recovery to flash a complete 4.3 stock restore image.
1) Download the stock restore image from the following thread. I always prefer to use TWRP and thus, the TWRP image, because of the easier user interface.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2658486
Save the file to a location on your computer.
2) Download the Odin flashable TWRP Tar file for custom recovery from the link below ....
http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/d2att/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.1-d2att.tar
With the debrick card in your phone, boot to system as you have been doing. Connect your phone to your computer with a good quality micro USB cable and copy the stock restore image you downloaded earlier to your phone. Be sure you remember the stored location.
3) Power off your phone and, with the debrick card, boot to download mode. If you cannot use the Volume Down, Power and Home button combo to boot to download mode, you may need to get a USB jig.
4) Once you are in download mode, connect your phone to the PC, open Odin v3.07. Make sure Odin recognizes your phone. Do not check or uncheck any boxes but leave the defaults as is. In the PDA box, load the TWRP Tar file you downloaded earlier. Click on Start and wait for flashing to complete. When you get to Pass, disconnect your phone from the PC and pull out the battery to stop it trying to reboot.
5) Replace the battery and with the debrick card inside, boot to Recovery mode by pressing the Volume Up, Power and Home buttons. If you do this right, you should be able to get to recovery mode.
6) Select Install and navigate to the stock restore zip file you saved to your phone earlier. Select this zip and swipe to confirm install. Wait for firmware installation (flashing) to complete.
7) Clear your cache/dalvikand reboot to system.
Try booting without the card. If the above process went as described, your phone should be booting normally. Good luck!

Okay. At least, we are almost there. Try booting into recovery mode and doing a hard wipe/reset. If this doesn't work, then you could try reinstalling the 4.3 stock firmware. You may need to reflash custom recovery as the initial flashing would have returned you to stock recovery. If you have to do the firmware flashing again, please make sure you clear your cache/dalvik before rebooting to system.
happy to see this thread resolved, this is what XDA is all about, no matter how fd up something sounds, a community like xda will find a fix for it even if it takes months
And the award of the Q/A thread goes to Larry and everyone in this post for trying and failing but succeeding at the end :laugh:
anywayz happy rooting and be careful, no-one wants to end with a brick cheers and keep this place awsome

Hey Larry2999 I want to really thank you for your help it was so helpful, actually I discovered that the battery of the Galaxy S3 was failing thats why when I turned on the phone it turned off after a seconds althoughthe battery was charged, so I connected the charger to the phone and it started normally.

Did you try getting into download mode with the 3-button combo (Volume Down/Power/Home)?
so i mistakenly flashed a rom that was meant for the i900 or something and i got hardbricked and im not sure what steps to take or anything.
I know that i can buy this thing to make it go to download mode, but ive already tried doing the not jtag or Jig method but i used my Sandisk Micro Sdcard 8gb Class 4 instead since i dont have the 16gb class 10 version. what do i do?
ive used the windsik 32 image writer to write the
debrick sphl710.img to that microsdcard and idk what to do now. my batter was at 75% charger aswell and also i noticed if i removed the battery and the sdcard and cable and plug in just the usb cable (connected to my pc) it showed a red led light and then it turned off after a bit and my computer read a driver was missing with QHDSLOAD or something like that.
Go download Odin, go find twrp recovery for your phone, get the tar file, open Odin, put your phone in download mood, uncheck auto reboot and reset time, click pda, select the tar, after Odin recognizes your phone then click start. If it says pass then disconnect, power off, boot into your recovery, and flash something like Rooted stock ND8.
I don't normally flash the wrong roms, but occasionally crap won't work no matter how many times I re-download or flash. All that seems to work is flash a new recovery and then boot into it and flash the rom I needed.
TL,DR:my s4 mini got a random android update and when it finished updating the evie launcher and touchwis stopped working then android stopped working, got frozen and then shut down after, some time i got it to enter odin mode put the stock rom and got into boot loop with samsung logo, i turn it off after some time, now it wont boot into anything, if a put a sd card with debrick img this apear and only this, if reboot and that msg show again
Boot recovery mode
check boot partitions

Time line of what happened so far
2018
phone died after random update of android OS , though it was his time as i own it for + 5 years
2019
got a new phone and got curious about what happened so i started looking the internet , ended in this website almost everytime.
i left the phone chargin while i searched for answers, i connected the phone to my pc, try the botton combination to get to download mode and recovery(not succesfull) , removed the battery, try to turn it on without baterry to drain all power of phone and restart volatile memory (multiple times) and put it again without gettin anywhere try to connected to a netbook that was freshly formated and with fresh windows 10 intall, odin in that pc recognise the phone just as Qloader-9008 com (x) continued searching and from nowhere the phone started vibrating and then stoped and the chargin icon apeared on the screen i left it to charge as that was the first time i was 100% sure it was chargin after 10+ hours chargin while i was sleeping i try the botton to enter download mode and it worked, try the stock rom from my model, country and service provider and the phone got stuck on a boot loop showing the movistar intro then the s4 mini intro and vibratin each time it was to late so i stupidly turn it of, next morning i got back to try make it work but now it was totally unresponsive odin didn recognize the phone, didnt enter download mode or recovery , no boot loop, nothing is only make a sound in my pc when i try the botton combinations but nothing more just a sound of something connecting and disconnectingx2 got frustrated and left it there collecting dust, also the usb jig dont work
2020
4 months ago i got back to try to make the s4 mini work so i searched the internet again and found the sd card way i did try it and now im here with the phone in a loop of rebootin an starting the same boot recovery mode, it do not say "Flash write failure Ddi : mmc_read dailed" as i did read on other threads in this forum so as i stated before

then reboot on a loop and the same msg this for more than 15 mins then it stopped until i reconnect it to the pc or the charger or try to turn it on using the power botton, when the phone stop rebooting the normal convinations of keys make it vibrate for 3-4 times but nothing shows in the screen, the boot dont fail or at least it do not say it, it just stop trying to reboot,
what can i do to at least get it to a point that kies or smart switch can take the controll or be able to use odin, the battery is at 3.78volts
If you can get your S4mini into Download mode, you should try Odin again. But this time, under the Options tab, UNcheck the box for Auto Reboot as well as the box for F. Reset Time. And then when Odin gives the green success indication, immediately disconnect USB and remove battery. Re-insert the battery after a minute or so. Another suggestion; flash the Movistar firmware only if you intend to use their carrier service. Otherwise, it would be better to use firmware not specific to any one carrier. Be sure the 3rd letter of the baseband code is "U" (for "unspecified" carrier). Good luck, hopefully your troubles are not due to faulty hardware.
HY to me happend tha Same my S4-Mini has showing Error in instand and after a tryed to Reboot the Phone was Complete DEAD , tryed the to Boot From SD- Card BOOT RECOVERY MODE it Says FLASH WRITE FAILURE ddi MMC read Failed !

Happened to me aswell... When i put my SD card with debrick.img on then it bootloops the exackt same way. Cant find any prog or any help to avoid this. Cant even see the phone in Odin no matter with or without the sd card - Or get it to download mode either... i only see the Qualcomm 9008 port as open in device manager
