i saw the guide earlier and it ddint work for me since i cant boot up the phone and update it with kies mini or anything else. any other solution? m going crazy.
What do you mean you can't boot up? You need to be on download mode, or are you telling me that you can't get into download mode?
If you can't get into download mode then you're out of luck.

OK you said in your OP that you can get into DL mode. Follow the second post of that guide for getting Heimdall One-Click up and running. Then flash heimdall per the directions of the guide. You'll want to flash WITH bootloaders. Just relax and read through it. It will fix your problems.
Before you do anything, uninstall Kies Mini and use usbdeview to uninstall android and samsung drivers. Then proceed with Lumins guide. If you DO NOT UNINSTALL DRIVERS I can assure you there is no way to get out of hard brick unless you have a jig.
Tip: Uninstall drivers that has the name Samsung or Android.

Actually not true. If you use a different USB port then the one the Kies drivers are linked to Heimdall Drivers will install just fine. I've got Odin, Heimdall, and ADB running for two different phones on my laptop. And this guy is soft bricked not hard bricked.

You sure you have a t959v? Try a different one click from the collection? New to me.
In his op it says it is bootlooping on the vibrant screen. Quite possibly he actually has a vibrant .

That's what I'm thinking. Or when he flashed with Odin he flashed vibrant firmware to it? Have you ever seen that error before?
Cant say that I have. It could be I havent ever flashed a rom not for this phone.
AdamOutler says one clicks have a safety that keeps you from flashing the wrong software. That might be what is happening. Maybe the op needs to use heimdall-frontend to flash a tar.gz. /shrug.
nemeancestus are you comfortable using regular heimdall? You can flash the files used in the one click with heimdall-frontend. I will link the tar.gz, download it. In heimdall-frontend the first tab will give you the ability to load a package. Browse to the folder you downloaded it in. It will decompress the tar.gz once that is done in the package files pane it will list the files. Once it does that select load it will take you to the flash tab and load the files for you. Now put your phone in download mode and it should show as connected in heimdall. Dont change any of the options set. Just hit flash. After that it should reboot and you will be on stock plus blastoff kernel. You will need to flash a different rom tho wifi does not work and it doesnt have busy box or su preinstalled. Just reboot to recovery and flash a new rom.
The link might not be active yet give it some time I just put it on drop box.

I think you are right. He probably has the phone but flashed a vibrant rom. He refers to "Eugene's Froyo Rom"

I'm a noob but I'd been trying my best understanding to ROOT T959W, I'd followed the steps as described in one of the forums here using odin 1.7 and stock+Voodoo-T959VKJ1.tar and the update in sdcard but unfortunately I don't understand, no matter what i do, when the phone turns on it shows the Recovery mode, I'm however able to boot into the downlod mode and my phone is detectable.
The phone was I guess bricked onetime but i'd used oneclick unbrick and it went back fine.
Please help me to at least get it to a running state not necessarily root.
I don't know if this is right, what should i do next ? Flash the rom CM9 ? or have i messed up ? :S
THANKS A TON!
Attached is a preview.
It seems a little odd. Did you clear everything and not flash a rom?

So you have the "W" phone from Wind and you flashed the bootloader? I can clearly see the Tmobile logo, which shouldn't be on a Wind phone. Just hold on, don't flash anything else and give a few, I'm working with bhundven at this very moment to try and dump my bootloader. Your phone still turns on, there is hope but the more you start clicking all over, etc the more damage you can do, so please wait.

The T959V in odin is just a label in the ini file in the same directory.
You can change that to say anything you want.
I really recommend taking the time now to remove odin, and it's drivers, and install heimdall.
Look around in the wiki for help on that one.

Me and Brian are working on it. He had to go out for a bit, so waiting for him to get back on IRC and I'm testing it and risking bricking my phone for the good of the 959W users, so please be patient until we have a test package that can restore the bootloaders, param's, everything full for a "W" model. I found a very complicated work around to get out of the loop but I rather wait till we have the 1 click tested and it's easier to use and do.
For now, the standard 1 click should get you back to stock, just don't flash the bootloader at all.

Glad I was able to help but I couldn't have done any of this with the guidance of bhundven and others from Team Acid. Hopefully I'll have the true stock modem our phone came with soon, full stock recovery, etc and be able to put out a full package to help people who are bricked or want to go back to stock.

When you flashed in odin, did you use pda? If not there's your fisrt mistake.
Please read forum rules

Sorry i panicked and wrote this in the first forum i could find lol
but yes i used pda, i had Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time checked as well
It doesnt turn on, no led, and it will not vibrate as i hold the power button (or any combo with the power button) to say its turning on and i just cant see anything either. Im literally getting no response from the phone.

This is a Verizon GS3? Hard bricks are fairly rare but the usual cause of hard bricks is wrong firmware (international gs3 vs. US) or an interrupted process. From what you typed, it seems like you did everything right. Shouldn't be a corrupt file either if the md5 checked out
yeah its a verizon s3, i followed the instructions to a T and im freaking out that i cant get it to even vibrate or hit recovery mode. i'd love to just reset it and try again with the root... i dont really care about anything on it, its practically new and there isnt really much on it anyways. so deleting stuff isnt an issue
Have you tried pulling the battery? I just ran though the whole process without a hitch.

well that's 99.9% the problem right there.
when flashing things that could brick your phone, radios, recovery, ESP bootchain!
double check that MD5, but hey I've done the same, and now I ALWAYS check it on everything even little things, lesson learned the hard way for me.
glad you'll be getting new phone..
and for about flashing prob not, I have sent back 2 SG3's rooted with TWRP recovery, but that's me..
I even brought one to VZW and she was going to do a factory reset reading from the screen and it brought her to TWRP recovery LMAO! her and the manager looked at each other like WTF, and STILL gave me a brand new phone uotta the box.
Rather than start a new thread, I'm just going to bump this one. I had this same problem. I followed the instructions from the XDA article, along with the ones provided in DroidModd3rX's YouTube video exactly on my VZW GS3, build JZO54K. I hard bricked my phone. It only showed up in the Device Manager on Windows 8 as QHSUSB_DLOAD. It was stuck like that as soon as I flashed the VRALEC Bootchain. Is there something I've done wrong that I could have done differently to prevent it from happening? I had just purchased it the day before, so I was able to get a replacement, but I'm highly interested in rooting my device and want to ensure this doesn't happen again. Is it a problem with Windows 8, is it the build my phone is running on, or is it perhaps because I had USB Debugging checked on? I just find it odd that I had the same problem, and went through it the same day as the person who started this thread. And yes, I did check the MD5, it was fine.
Would anybody be able to provide any insight on how i could fix my s3 that appears to be stuck on boot? i received my warranty fixed device from samsung today and upon rerooting it, i forgot to unlock the bootloader i then went to the "Verizon has detected unauthorized software" screen. After which, I followed this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1840030 hoping to get back to stock. But after following these directions, the phone boots to a Samsung custom (Unlocked) screen and then it goes to the galaxy s3 boot screen and remains there, if anybody could provide any assistance, that would be awesome. I'd just hate to get laughed at if i bring it into a verizon store. thanks and happy holidays.

If it was fixed or replaced by Samsung they usually update to newest software before returning it. If it was on 4.3 and you tried to unlock it is now bricked beyond our ability to repair at this time.Can't unlock, flash custom recovery or downgrade to 4.1.2 or lower or it will brick. If was on 4.1.2 just need to Odin stock tar.If it hangs then a Factory reset in stock recovery will usually fix it. Need more info on what build you were actually on when started.

Boot into download mode and on the screen where the option to continue or restart phone, choose to restart your phone. This worked for me just this morning, for some reason it bypasses the check.

My note (GT-N8000 16GB version) stuck in boot loop and i can't access recovery mode, only download mode available. I'm doing some research regarding this and found that maybe the solution is by installing PIT file. I found pit file for my device in here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=41158546#post41158546
I know that installing wrong PIT file will bricked my device for real. So before I'm doing some flashing I want to ask some question here for confirmation:
1. Did the Russian pit file on above link work to all GT-N8000 16GB in every region? my region is XSE
2. How to install the PIT file? I read somewhere that I need to load it along with stock 4.0.4 ROM from my region and then tick repartition check box. Is that the correct way?
Please help. I'm noob here. I really need some guidance. thanks
I am having the same issue.Why will a PIT file will stop the bootloop?
My Tablet charges and charges while it remains in a loop between srarting and recovery....back and forth. It never boots to Andriod and never enters recovery. Like you I can use the start and volume up key to enter download mode but it does not download anything through Odin or Flasher. Any help will be a ggodsend.
Thanks Anybody.......I have be working on it for a month. I am out of ideas.
