What were you doing when this happened.

Phone will not power on and will have blank screen. PC will detect the phone in QPST mode
Yea it hard bricked. From my knowledge there is no fix.
We're you messing with Odin when this happened. What was the last thing you were doing with it working?

It seems like there have been a disproportionate amount of people running into this problem...it makes me nervous.

Especially when, op's are so strangely adverse to telling us how it happened.
It's ok ro tell us if u were doing something stupid. We all do stupid stuff to these devices at some point or another, you now have the ability to tell us @ least 1 thing NOT to do.
That's why this works...

I'm guessing he clicked something in ODIN he shouldn't have.
I was trying to install SKY ice cream ROM and was following - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21507135#post21507135
When i run odin it just run into errors and reboot was blank screen... i don't know what happen... i have done this before many times but this was my bad luck i guess
Was your battery low when you did this?
Have you tried pulling the battery for a few minutes?
I tried all option no luck... Ordered USB jig to see if that helps... other option is to get bin file and flash using QPST... I think someone who knows and are expert need to extract the bin file from the phone using QPST.
Jig won't work. I'm guessing you mucked something up in Odin.

any idea if i can charge my battery using the phone now... doesn't give me any indication of charging
You can get a charger on eBay for $4 shipped.

If anyone knows how to get the device recognized as a COM port, I can take a shot at it. Got real familiar with QPST when I flashed an Epic over to Virgin Mobile.

Doesn't download mode do that? Excuse me if I'm wrong.
Edit: LOL not if your bricked it doesnt. Could we use a working skyrocket to get the correct files to fix a bricked one using QPST?

Download mode does, yes, but you can't read or write from QPST in it. You get a "Phone did not answer/respond/whatever" error back.
What I would say needs to be figured out first is how to get a non-brick and a bricked one recognized as a COM port. Really annoying, but QPST doesn't work otherwise...
Sorry for the question, but what exactly is QPST? I've never heard of that before.

Qualcomm Product Support Tools. It's a program used by Qualcomm to program Qualcomm chips in phones. Can flash/backup software, program the phone's service, check/change EEPROM settings, EFS settings, etc. It's free software, but I do NOT recommend looking through it and tweaking things if you don't know what you're doing... Quite a bit in there that's really easy to mess up.

By the way, on the phone display, it's stuck exactly between the "D" and the "o" of the word "downloading" (if you know what I am mean here, not sure I am explaining myself right)
i will try a different USB and PORT
(wow my anxiety is through the roof)
I used it for the first time the other day and it went great, I actually used it 3 times in the same day...long story. I've heard about the port thing but it never did anything different for me. If you installed Odin correctly and It has the stock file for your phone than it should work.

You have to extract the stock file (probably called something else) when you open Odin I believe you have to click pit than select th file that you extracted.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA Premium App
When you open the Odin folder you should see 2 things, the Odin program in which youd launch and the stock file for your phone, the stock file needs to be extracted or unzipped (not sure which is the correct term) run Odin, plug phone in, select file from pit tab, stick start.

Hey guys I've been searching google.com and xda forums for the last 3 hours trying to find a way to unroot my phone so I can bring it in for service. My phone's speaker broke and I get no sound so I have to bring it into the store. What would you guys suggest to do? I don't want to use Odin cause it's not recognizing my phone and I don't want to trip the counter using the .tar Any help please!

Why don't you brick it instead?

if its just a speaker, they most likely will just replace the speaker.
Make sure you backup anything you dont want to loose, they may wipe the phone ,
I got a laptop back one time, that just needed a new keyboard, they wiped the damn thing, retards. ( this was way back before i was smart enough to do all that myself lol )

So my friend wants to restore to default his skyrocket. So he went to cwm, factory reset the times, wiped dalvik and cache. When he tried to boot it soups just hang at the Samsung logo.

A mini usb cable for lg phones. USB jigs are used for soft bricks. Which is why I'm thinking getting an lg cable will get you into download mode since those cables are like jigs for the gs2

They have access to hardware and have crazy soldering skills and know where to solder. You have to literally dig in to repair a hard brick..

Lol flash a different rom through cwm

try externally charging the battery, then going into download mode
So I'm trying to fix a phone for someone but I can not find a way. Basically the phone says the IMEI is all 0's and even if you put a sim in it has a O with a line through it instead of service bars but still shows the 4G icon. Also it has all this stuff written on the screen that I've attached pictures of. Going into the settings says all 0's for the IMEI. I've tried factory resets and using ODIN to flash stock but no luck, I've thought of just restoring the IMEI but not to sure that would solve it
Yeah it looks like you need to restore the IMEI. Worth a shot
EFS is wiped and needs to be reprogrammed. Did this happen randomly? You can take it to Verizon and they can fix it as long as the device isn't blacklisted.

Can you get the phone to download mode? If yes you can get the phone restored to original settings. Based on this picture your kernel might be messed up. It is just a guess.

Hi, I have a Verizon Samsung Galaxy S3 running CyanogenMod 10.1.2. Today I tried flashing the Ninphetamine kernel on my device, and after a successful flash in recovery (I have TWRP), I rebooted my device but it wouldn't turn on. I then tried booting into recovery. Didn't work. I then tried to boot in download mode. Didn't work. Is my device bricked, or is there any other way to get into download mode other than using the Vol. Down, Home, and Lock buttons? Thanks in advance.
The magic 8 ball says google "jtag".
Hopefully I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure that's not a Verizon kernel and that leads to a hard brick.

I'm no expert or anything. But I'm pretty sure flashing a kernel from another carrier will hard brick, I couldn't find very much info on that kernel.
