he doesnt want to lose the phone.. is there anything i can do? i am pretty good with rooting/flashing
thanks

Sounds like your friend might be out of options, unless somebody uploads a flashable bb which hasn't happened yet.

Check under About Phone, and see if there's a Baseband. If there is, then he should try a Factory Reset.

See if there is a baseband. If yes, then it's problably solvable. If not unfortunately you'll have to return the phone because no one has managed yet to put a flashable version of baseband. Sorry, but that's the truth.

That happened to my purely stock phone and there was nothing to be done but send it in for repair. The good news is it went pretty quick and while running it through some tests they discovered it had a bad touch screen (which I never knew about) and replaced that as well. I now have my phone back and so far so good. Everything is working great.
I know it's a pain to be without your phone, but I'm very glad I sent it off now. It was probably just a matter of time before I discovered the touchscreen problem, so I feel I came out ahead. It's like a brand new phone all over again, only this time it works!

Have you tried flash HSPL of TP2 on top of it?
yes but windows isnt recognizing the device so the hspl for tp2 wont work cuz it says that its not connected

Agreed - i've 'bricked' my tp1 several times, and forced the reflash from hardspl on, successfully from the bootloader screen, instructions to get there are all over.... Thinking positive here

Luckly I had the insurance and got a new tp2 the next day..learn from your mistakes man, its beyond bricked....buying a new phone only option or insurance way

i had the same problem with my tp1 - forced to boot loader, and just forced the flash even though the screen was blank. I AM NOT SUGGESTING YOU DO THIS. But on that particular model on its OWN roms it worked for me ^^

Thanks for the help all. But i could not even get the little led to come on. I imagine the device was on seeing as windows knew something was there however it could not find a driver. So i called Verizon and have them shipping me a new one.
if windows sees it, you might be able to reinstall stock rom.. windows wont even see mine

I dont think so, I think you have to have a bootloader waiting for the rom.
other option would be JTAG it, i dont think anybody has done it so far, you need a hardware guy to figure out where the jtag points are on the phone board for that.

heh i literally described it.
I just took the battery out, to make sure it was powered down. did the keys for boot loader, and just trusted it would make the connection.
had to try a few times, and its been a while since i did it - but as i recall i told the bastard flash on the computer and walked away, and the next time i got bootloader, so i turned it off and let it charge, then back to bootloader and flash and i was fine.
now for me i had flashed a gsm on cdma iirc and ive no idea why the above worked at all. Likely the flash was corrupted on the way in or something, but its been so long there's no way to remember enough details to see if its even something that's been observed in that state and sequence of events.

[Q] Anyone experience earpiece issue?

On my skyrocket from AT&T I was having an issue with the battery indicator getting stuck at 100%.
I updated the phone to the latest OTA update, no root or anything on this phone, all completely stock.
After update phone info is as follows:
Model Number: SAMSUNG-SGH-I727
Android Version: 2.3.6
Baseband Version: I727UCLA3
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.11
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.UCLA3
After I did the update the battery indicator has not come back (awesome right?, not so fast.)
Now I have an issue with call quality, my best attempt at describing it is like the ear piece sounds blown out, it kind of has a vibrate when people talk, Its not just one persons phone either, its any call I get/place.
I'm not sure if I should try a factory reset, revert back to 2.3.5?, Go to AT&T for a new one.
If anyone has had this issue and knows how to fix it please post. I apologize ahead of time if this is already posted somewhere, I looked for a few hours on google and couldn't find it anywhere. Also even if you don't know how to fix it, could you please post if your having the same issue so I know I'm not alone and have some ammo if I do have to go to AT&T.
Visit AT&T Store
Of course I'm 4 days outside my 30 day trial period so I would have to get a replacement mailed to me if I can't get it to work.
Lady I spoke with there was very nice (as always) but didn't have any idea what to do (as always) and advised I try and factory reset it. What the hell, mine as well.
Also got her to tell me that if I root and custom rom it and it still dosn't work I can still RMA it. So she went against what all their documentation says so now I can do what I want
Figure ill factory reset first, if that dosn't work I'll ODIN it back to the original 2.3.5 if possible.
Ill keep updating this thread though incase anyone else has a similar issue.

Haha, just because she said that doesn't mean anything. Read the contract, that trumps what some lady says. Anyways, you can flash back to stock and warranty it, so it doesn't matter what anyone says

As the title says you absolutely correct. Lady probably didn't have a clue lol.
I called their warranty support line and am going to drive to their wallingford exchange place.
I was talking with my father before I called and figured if I went in and said get a manager, and told him/her if I don't have a new phone in my hand in 10 minutes, your losing a customer in 10 minutes, I bet I would get my phone
Regardless I'm getting a replacement, I did try the factory reset, didn't work. Also tried downgrading the device to 2.3.5 stock, and this also did not work.
Think its hardware, the static is only on the ear piece. Speaker phone, head phones, and bluetooth do not have the issue so I think its a odd coincidence
To anyone that may have been checking on this, it seems I got a rare case, there was actually a hardware problem on my device. Just a coincidence that I noticed it right after an update, I took it to the Customer Service place AT&T has in Wallingford, CT and the lady tried to re-flash the phone (what she said was standard procedure, she HAS to with every issue.) This didn't work so she gave me a new one.
All in all, only bad part of the experience was that it happened at all. New phone is working great.
Glad tohear that you got this taken care of.

Before calling customer support...

Right now running synergy 1.6.....need to call into customer service for replacement. Phone calls drop, stutter go in and out and I have updated to latest modem and tried different roms. Didnt happen in first 3 weeks of ownership but now it's a major problem as I can't carry on a convo without this happening.
Question is....will I be okay just flashing to stock rooted "no sympathy" whilst on the phone and while I wait on replacement? Mianly I don't want them to ask what build I am on while making sure it's teh most current and tell them anything incorrect from what it should be. Any ideas?

Well I think going back to a stock rom would be the first step in diagnosing your issue. If you say "Didnt happen in first 3 weeks of ownership but now it's a major problem as I can't carry on a convo without this happening", and 1.6 came out 2 days ago there is a good chance that something with the rom is causing your issues.
Also, keep in mind that many people, myself included, have been experiencing network issues and a new phone is probably not going to help you. I'm on my third phone, and still experience these issues.

my main concern is if they ask for build # what should I say...i'm on rooted no sympathy now but what is latest build/baseband.
It's been going on for 2 weeks now...multiple roms, not rom specific. It's a bit more than a network issue...I can't have a phone conversation without it dropping out at all....quite problematic for business calls.

Well, on my first s3 I just followed the directions that came with the phone, and it worked. Pretty sure there is nothing special to do. On my second s3, I used the exact same sim and it worked.
Then on my third s3, the original sim would not work. I do not know why. The CSR I was speaking to said something about you can't use a sim from a different phone (seemed like she meant different model) on another phone. This didn't apply to me because I came from an DINC, and did not have a SIM at all. However, maybe this applies to you?
well got new sim and still having problems with reception cutting in and out. Unacceptable. calling in again...
Dude they don't ask for a build number. Don't tell them your rooted. Just return the phone to stock you have 5 days to send it back after you get a replacement don't stress about it. This is how the convo will go.
You: yes I need a replacement for my s3 it is having signal issues.
Ver rep: we need to try troubleshooting first. Have you factory reset.
You: yes
Ver rep: take battery out for five seconds did that work.
You : no
Ver rep: try installing advanced task killer did that work.
You: no
Ver rep: okay replacement on the way

Hello,
I'm brand new to the forums, been reading up on my phone and things to do with it. I've just been running stock everything, unrooted and using GO overlays which I really like. I was thinking of rooting my phone and let me friend play around with it... BIG MISTAKE. My phone won't turn on, boot, power up or anything... Have they bricked my phone and is there ANYTHING at all that I can do to recover it? I was using Kies and have my phone backed up and everything... but assuming it won't even turn on... Does anyone have any advice on some options?

If it wont turn on it sounds like a hardbrick, what did your friend flash? my guess he probably flashed a SGS II rom. You will have to repair it using jtag for 50$.
If you still got warranty you could try using it.
Going Crazy!
Holding down the volume key doesn't work, I can't download emulators to get it up with the phone unable to function or device drivers be updated or detected at all... I've read and read and read and NOTHING is working... I can see if I can create a jig, I think the parts are all around here somewhere... But is that the ONLY option? If it's hard bricked and they've completely messed it up, does anyone know of ANY potentials whatsoever of how to rebuild this thing back to normal?? Please help, I'm going to ASDLKDJLSKDJ someone up... !!! In the meantime I need to see if I can save this thing!
As I said for hardbrick you'll have to find a jtag repair service nearby and send your phone nad pay 50$.

I'm pretty sure I'm under warranty... Pretty sure they're going to be extremely peeved when they find out it's hardbricked from god knows what...
It took a while but I finally found the ordering site for jtag... Going to try that route I s'pose, thank you. Good thing I have an old crap phone as a back-up in the meantime... They don't require the SIM do they? I don't really trust sending that off...

No sim required. When you pull the battery out and put it back in and hold power do you even get a Samsung logo flash on the screen?

Hard Bricked My US Cellular S3, I think, please help!

I haven't tried the jig, but all the other symptoms such as dead screen,functionless buttons and all are there, so I think it is Hard Bricked. It's really weird what happened, I rooted my S3, it was working perfectly, then I unlocked the bootloader, it was perfectly fine even after that, then using ROM Manager I installed clockwork recovery mod, it was was working great. Then, I deleted my android market using ES File Explorer, and the guide for replacing the market told me to look for Vending.apk and then delete it, I looked but couldn't find it, so I 100% remember I tapped the search button in ES File Explorer and searched for Vending.apk, then suddenly a window popped up with names of files flashing but it didn't say searching or anything just three dots (...) and under there were two options YES and NO. I pressed No, it closed and then popped up again so this time I pressed Yes. then the names of files kept flashing and then it finished but didn't give me any search result, But my Phone memory was showing Empty, only the sd card folder was there and nothing else so I closed the app and opened it again, still the phone memory was empty, I was freaked out, so I restarted the phone and then, it never started :crying: I don't know what happened. Please help?

No its dead for sure. He tried to unlock the us cellualr S3 which would result in a perma brick.
You don't need to unlock the bootloader of the us cellular S3. That is why everything is labeled "verizon unlock" and stuff.

ahh i missed that detail...yes i agree its dead for sure! jtag or new replacement time.
Since it's only a couple days, take it back into USCC store. You're in your 15 day Window, they should swap it for a new one. Act dumb, don't tell them you rooted it. Just say you heard it buzz and it died. They'll mark it down as defective and give you a new one
How the hell was I supposed to know that? The US Cellular S3 is completely identical to the Verizon one, the only difference is the carrier logo, I rooted it with the Verizon S3's guide everything went perfectly fine, so I continued to do all the other stuff. I just got it 2 days ago :crying: . Huff, I've sent it for JTAG to a friend.

Hi everyone,
I think my fiance might have hard-bricked his (new! Less than 24 hrs old!) Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III. He researched, rooted, set up bit-defender and it was working fine but when he tried to copy music files onto the micro-SD, they appeared to have gone onto the hard-drive instead and made his phone uber sluggish. We had some friends over, so he dropped the issue for a while and then went back to try to fix it only to make things worse. I know there isn't enough detail there about what *else* he tried to do, but when he came to bed last night he was kicking himself for not researching it enough and mentioned that he tried taking the batter out, resetting it, taking the sim card out, resetting it, telling bit defending to wipe the phone, etc. but all it would do last night was just display the 'samsung' logo then go to black.
This morning, I found your threads and tried to do the power+down+home advice that I've seen on a few threads here but it didn't work (obviously).
I suggested using the micro-SD adapter to try to explore the files on a PC, so we might look into that later.
Is there anything else you guys would recommend? I'm thinking the only thing to fix it now is the dopey route. :silly:

Your phone is Soft Bricked not hard bricked, otherwise it wouldn't even turn on, Use A USB JIG to force it into download mode, then reflash with Odin.

Pull the battery, put it in and let it charge for a while couple hours. Then hold vol - , home and power. If it week go into download/Odin mode you're fine. If so then go to the development thread stickies and follow droid style guide section 6

Great thought, but let me tell you before my Galaxy S3 I owned a Wildfire S, tinkered with it every bit, OC,Rom,bootloader and everything, before that I owned a Huawei U8150, my first android, I literally went bezerk modding that thing. So, I'm not a noob at this,I was a noob at this different Carrier different software kinda thing, I thought the phone was the same and indeed it is, but the difference is that the Verizon's Bootloader is locked. I'm well familiar with everything, I just messed up by not researching that if the bootloader was unlocked already, mainly because I was a bit too excited about getting my S3.

If you're such a noob and unprepared for a brick, maybe you shouldn't have ventured down custom ROM/unlock avenue?
Just a thought.

Since it's only a couple days, take it back into USCC store. You're in your 15 day Window, they should swap it for a new one. Act dumb, don't tell them you rooted it. Just say you heard it buzz and it died. They'll mark it down as defective and give you a new one
