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. So I had him format system and now he can't get into download mode,cwm, or boot. It will vibrate in 2 second intervals, but then hang when he releases his fingers. What can he do?

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..
As for the OP, follow this:

But seriously, wtf. Format system? Do you even know what that does? You've got yourself a soft brick. Go into download mode and restore the stock tar.
Lol flash a different rom through cwm

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.

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.

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.
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!

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 ,

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

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.
