So im guessing i bricked my s3 verizon.. the phone wont completley turn on I rooted and tried to put on a jelly bean rom and found out that I put the wrong one on meaning I put a GSM instead of a CDMA which is my fault because I never payed attention to it.. Any solutions for this problem?
Battery pull did not work
Charging it did not work
The phone completley will not turn on no way to get into download mode or whatever so I need help thanks.
I haven't kept up as much in recent days but what I heard in the past was that flashing an international ROM was close to a death sentence since you end up in a qualcomm diagnostic mode with no download mode. I have no idea if there has been any changes, updates, or progress made in this regard or if a USB jig will help you. I would imagine a JTAG would still be useful. You might want to try on IRC.
Also, this is not development and does not belong here. The rules clearly state that. Many bad things can be avoided by taking the time to read.

I did, was just confirming what you had already said :good:
Spoke with Verizon and they'll replace it for me...should have been more careful, I flashed the GSM version of a rom after rooting. JTAG looks like it's quite difficult though. I'd only do it if Verizon told me to take a walk...Anyways thanks for the responses, and always remember: practice safe flashing!

Forum says no noobs but, the other forum options didn't seem to fit with my issue. If this is in the wrong place, please point that out to me.
I just purchased my NS4G today and tried rooting it. The end result leaves me at a Google screen with a padlock on the bottom.
I have searched a lot and have read about a lot of fixes but, none of them are working. I am at my wits end.
I tried to download recovery images and flash them but my CMD just says cannot determine image filename for 'recovery.img'
I have tried removing the battery, entering recovery mode and wiping everything to no avail.
Am I completely screwed?
Ok, so I was able to get the recovery image flashed, but i rebooted and still get the google screen.
Any tips?
Ok, making some progress. I got the ClockworkMod Recovery working however, I cannot mount my phone..
I've installed the Samsung drivers, ADB, and Android SDK, but I'm not able to send Superuser to the device..
Any clues?
Allow me to add to my external monologue.
I can't seem to mount my NS4G as a USB Mass Storage device. Windows 7 is not recognizing the phone...
What to do, what to do...
So now I really am stuck. I can't load this Superuser zip onto the phone because my USB Mass Storage is not working.
Please, anyone, lend a guy a hand. I'm confused and worried.
Thank you.

Umm I don't know what carrier your with or if you are still in your warranty time frame or have mobile phone insurance? But when I first started flashing phones I bricked a captivate after having it for only a couple of months so I called att and told them I was updating the phone using kies mini as directed and the power blinked and screwed the phone up. So they never questioned me they just sent me a new captivate.. I was lucky cause that was about the time the froyo update came out so they never questioned me just said that's happened to a lot of people. So with gingerbread updates rolling out tell them you were updating and the phone cut off and won't come back on. Its worth a try. I know a lot on here that has done it...

You can only flash ROMS made for YOUR SPECIFIC MODEL. Just because it's a Galaxy S3 ROM doesn't mean it's okay on your phone. You need one for your specific version. I don't know what Criskelo is, but I have never head of it.
A quick search pulled up this:
Criskelo ROM for Rooted Galaxy S3 i9300!
If you want to know which ROM I am running on my Galaxy S3 GT-i9300 right now, it’s this Criskelo ROM. (PLEASE DO NOT FLASH THIS ROM ON U.S. or Canadian Galaxy S3s! PLEASE!)
If you did indeed flash an international ROM on your phone, it's probably a paper weight at this point. Go to mobiletechvideos and spend $60 to get it jtagged. Do some research before flashing next time.

I'm pretty sure most international roms make a dometic S3 completely unbootable. I don't think you can even boot into ODIN to flash anything. Looks like you've tried. I don't think a PIT file will help, especially if you can't make it into ODIN to flash.

So I bought a JIG whatever that is... do you think that I should wait for it to get here It seemed like in a video i watched it pulled up download mode immediately I'd hate to drop 60 bucks just to find out my 5 dollar fix would have worked.
Kylewiddz, that 32Gb PIT file previously mentioned was mine. Hate to break it to you, but it sounds like you'll need a JTAG to bring you back. If you wanna try the jig, sure, give it a shot. Even if it doesn't work, with this particular bork, they do work and they're nice to have around. Either way, Josh at the aforementioned MobileTechVideos.com is the bomb. $60 is better than buying a new phone (or committing fraud by taking it back for warranty). Good luck, buddy (make sure you learn something from this ).

The website looked really good, but the 60 dollar price tag is just enough to make me wait for the jig to get here. But if (most likely when) that doesn't work, they'll be gettin my business for sure. Moral of the story: I'm an idiot Thanks to everyone who helped

Yeah, it's a hard lesson to learn when you've had the phone for less than a week:crying: The jig said 15 days to ship so I said screw it and just got my order done on the previously mentioned website. It was phone or Resi 6... anyways feeling much better about the whole situation knowing that I'll be up and running sometime in a week. (I came from the droid x which to my knowledge there is only one droid x type of rom, the whole multiple types of S3 that there are just went right over my head till I did some heavy reading post mortem:crying Also I feel like I can't over state the whole :crying: thing haha oh well

my Galaxy S2 is still bricked but i got the AT&T SAMSUNG GALAXY S3 I747 on 4.1.1 instead cost $$300 on ebay :laugh:
the results came better than i expected by gettin myself a new smartphone but comin back here on XDA reminds me of how i completely turned my sphone into a paper-weight by just installing a new ROM/ROOTIN
should i go back to the ROOTIN wagon? iknow the risks and goods that comes with it but android stock w/touchwiz is not that bad

It's really easy, if you find that you need features you can only use when rooted/on a custom rom then go ahead.
If you don't find yourself thinking "that custom feature would be of some real use now" then there's no reason to "go back to the ROOTIN wagon"..

Why are you questioning the people trying to help you?
Look either give it a try or deal with a borked imei.
The reason they are suggesting that is because unless you tried to install a vibrant rom all of the non stock based roms back up your imei and when flashing back to stock it is restored.
Again why are you questioning people offering help?

You will have better luck trying the link I posted :/ It fixed my IMEI about 15 times and I am have sent the link to many others to fix their problems. The link you posted will do you no good for two reasons. First, it is a guide about how to backup your IMEI which you already lost. (can't backup what you don't have) Second, the guide is for the Samsung Galaxy S III. If you do have a SGSIII, then you are in the wrong fourm and my link will screw your device over. If you have a Samsung Galaxy S 4G, then it will flash you back to GB rooted w/ CWM. If you are still secptic about my advice, then don't take it. Hope you enjoy a phone with no service.
Why r u ppl so jumpy?
"Enjoy phone with no service"
"Why r u questioning ppl who are trying to help"
All i try to do is to fix my imei and on the way im trying to understand whats going on.
The link you gave me was for deleting trash from my phone to save battery life (i personally thought that, maybe, you just copy pasted the wrong link), my IQ is well above average, but i guess im missing a connection between batter life trash files on the phone and recovering IMEI.
please enlighten me.
Flashing stock did not help .. and i have always been using the original Tmobile roms... downlaoded from Sampro.pl
Never anything custom.
thank you for your help.

It was the correct link, and it works. What do you have to lose? Absolutely nothing. I will take all the blame if it doesn't work, but in my experience it does work. I have no idea why it works, it just does. I just want you to have a happy working phone. Sadly, I have not been on a "stock" ROM since I joined xda, so I have no idea how to fix your problem and keep you on stock. Out of curiosity, what Android version are you on now?

Well if your main point from that link is to go back to stock (you have mentioned to go part 3, which is just that) then it doesnt work..
Coz i flashed to froyo 2.2.1 and it did not help only thing that changed was that opposed to 00000000/05 i had 000000000/04 ...
I have also wiped the cache
Then i have flashed the GingerBread 2.3.6 kj6.
Nothing changes .. Tmobile doesnt accept phones with "0" IMEI.
im sure its possible to write it in .. just cant find it...
thanks.
Have you actually tried it yet? Anyways, I am sorry about your phone, and I haven't seen a way to write in your IMEI in all of my time on xda.

It's for the s3, but, who knows if you could make it work.

It might , the problem is that i do not have the hidden menu .. it doesnt exist in SGS4g
I'm assuming changing the IMEI is legal.
NO... You can fix your device though to retain the same IMEI contained behind your battery

oh! So it's like making it working again? Then why I see some videos of youtube of people getting a new IMEI?
