That's because you're in the Samsung Nexus S 4G threa SGS3 threads are over there *points to device search bar* .

i m in right thread i have galaxy 3 but now buying NEXUS S

As long as u see Google logo you are safe. Just use the key combination to enter the recovery mode and flash a ROM and u should be fine.
Thnx.

[Q] Black Screen After SlimBean ROM Flash?

Hello,
I just flashed SlimBean ROM on my Skyrocket via ClockworkMod. I first formatted/wiped as is customary. It gave me no errors, so I assumed everything was fine. However, upon reboot, I was greeted with the Samsung logo, and then nothing. Just a black screen. It appears to be responsive to my pressing the lock button (the touch buttons light up). But nothing else. What could it be, and how can I fix this?
Thanks so much for any help!

Afraid that's a good sign of a hard brick. Does your device do anything when you try to turn it on? Can you get into download mode?

No, it don't turn on, and that is The problem,
To get into download mode
Remove battery & plug in usb cord to computer. While holding both*[Volume Down/Up]*buttons, drop in battery.
Does computer give up any notification? Sometimes a black screen is still download mode.
So you flashed a galaxy s ROM on this model?

my phone is t959v.
I believe that the problem started when I flashed a wrong kernel or wrong rom

I can't contact him, could you tell me if I replace the board the phone will fix?
I think that wil be a better way to my because I can do it myself just buying the board on ebay.
Buy or make you a jig.

If a jig doesn't get you into download mode, jtag services maybe the only way.
