I think I bricked my S3

Okay very nervous that my phone hasn't booted, but trying to keep my cool. Well here's what happened:
1. On AOKP JB trying to boot to stock to backup my IMEI.
2. Odin restored fine, but would get stuck booting at the 4G LTE screen.
3. Flashed the stock bootloader found in the R&D thread.
4. Went back into download mode, tried to flash invisiblek's stock rooted.
5. Failed.
6. Tried to flash stock again. Failed.
7. Tried to boot up and got this​

Any help?

Try setting it back to download mode and reflash recovery. If you can get to download mode its not really bricked. Just a soft brick.
Look for Qball77 link for how to root and how to unroot. All download files and instruction in his videos are super easy to follow.

Flash a recovery? Should I go back to stock and use EZ recovery?

No offense taken, I googled " S3 kies vzw"

Was kind of jerky. But find a stock tar file and flash it using Odin.
Can you get back to Download mode? ~Volume Down home and power button all same time. Volume up to accept.~

Did you factory reset in recovery after flashing the stock image? Use section 2 in this guide for returning back to stock. If all else fails, you can try this one.

Just booted again and no Kies screen, but stuck on the Samusng Galaxy S3 screen.
Also got into recovery and wiped, but still no luck.

Sounds like a Soft Brick if you can get into download mode. Been there several times but is fixable. Use Odin, never have used Kies. Stay calm read first.

What Windows OS are you using? Google has quite a few related result such as this. If it's early in the odin process like that thread, you can just unplug and pull the battery. Maybe try rebooting the computer and a different USB port?

Doesn't matter anymore, I skipped that part mainly because it was optional. Still got a bootloop, maybe the bootchain was the cause?
Edit: still needed to do the recovery. booting now.

Thanks to all who helped. Got my phone booting! Honestly thank you a ton. I posted this first on Rootzwiki's panic room and didn't even get a reply. :laugh:

Reset Flash Counter

Charlieb620 decided to be a douche and remove his post telling us how to reset the flash counter for the Blaze for petty reasons, so I pulled a cached version off Google for all who still need it. Here you go:
*I Take No Credit For This*
This is for people who flash constantly through Odin or even CWM. By flashing a lot the ticker on your DOWNLOAD/FASTBOOT SCREEN ticks up. To reset it for repair or warranty purposes just boot into CWM and flash this file.
Your Good To Go.

Are you using the stock recovery, or CWM/TWRP? If one of the latter, do you have zip verification (I think that's the term anyway) enabled? Could just be an unsigned zip.

Thanks everyone, it works great.

I was able to reset the counter, but how do you keep it at "NO" when returning to a stock ROM? After I flashed the stock, the counter is now at 2.

Just reflash the count resetter after you go back to stock

Thanks, but the problem I'm seeing is that CWM is overwritten when I flash the stock ROM. And without CWM, I can't reset the flash count.

download the link in op to root of sd or phone then boot into recovery and flash the count resetter zip. it'll 0 out the counter.
hope that helped..

Does anyone have the ZIP file to reset the flash counter on the SGH-T769? I'm late to the party and all the links in the original thread are long gone. Or at least the name of the ZIP file so I can try to google for it?
The closest thing I've found so far was a "sgh-t989-flash_counter_reset.zip" (different phone), but I'm not sure if I can use it to flash the SGH-T769.
I know it's probably pointless to reset the flash counter for a phone this old, but it just want to keep it neat and clean (plus it bothers me).
Thanks!

the next thing you want to do is download the EZ recovery app from the market and load a custom recovery. CWR or TWRP is our current options.

There's also a guide on how to reset your phone to factory stock around here on this site, if you need it.

To clarify were you able to install clockworkmod? And to get into download mode hold power button + volume down + home button simultaneously. Make sure your phone is connected to your computer and in download mode then start Odin.

No need to install ROM Manager just boot into Clockworkmod Recovery (Since you said you had installed Clockworkmod successfully on your phone using Odin) a and then flash the zip once it's on your Sd card.

Use an Xposed toolbox (Like GravityBox) to extend the power menu. Inside the power menu, press reboot and than recovery.
After 15 seconds you will be inside the recovery. Xperia devices don't have a seperate recovery partition.
Next time you want to outsmart somebody, find the facts first.

Do you know a way to fix this, and thanks for replying

So you want to reflash your phone to make it stock again?
If that's the case you can download the newest stock files from sammobile (WARNING SLOW ASS DOWNLOAD)
Once you've downloaded the latest firmware you can flash it to your phone with odin, it will make your phone stock again
Once you have done that, go into the recovery and factory reset. (By holding the powerbutton+home+volume up whist the phone is turned off)
This will however wipe your data. I advice you to make a backup beforehand.
Then just setup the phone like a new phone, or restore it from a backup on samsung's cloud (if you have a backup there).
Hope this helped.

Doesn't the "recovery is not seandroid enforcing" appear at the top left of the boot screen regardless of the rom? I thought it was because of the non-stock recovery.

When you flash a custom recovery, you need to boot to recovery on your first reboot, otherwise your phone will override it. Flash your custom recovery again, and when you restart your phone, hold volume up, power and home button.

recovery is not seandroid enforcing <- this text means you have custom recovery.
But as the guy said s6 replaces the custom recovery as soon as you reboot it after flashing custom recovery,so you need to boot back in recovery mode(hold the vol up,power,home button as soon as it reboots).
and just go to any website (sam mobile and download the suitable stock rom for your mobile,country p.s slow download)
have you disabled knox before trying to root it or before flashing stock rom with odin?
try to put it in download mode then flash that stock rom
and as you said its in boot loop,you can fix it,its not bricked

I recommend anyone to follow these instructions from @sendhiloo7 if you need to download stock firmware. It is WAY faster than other methods. ?
