Unbrick

So yesterday I was running cm9 and I decided to flash a different Rom so I went onto recovery and wipe the phone and then went ahead and flashed
The redemption rom. I went ahead and waited for about 10 minutes to see if it works reboot the samsung logo came on last for like 2 seconds then the screen went blank. So now I into Odin to see if I could flash the Stock image.. when I tried that the first step goes through then I go to the second step and it fails. Here are some pics of my computer and my phone. Please help.

Never ever do that, get your sources from here, you might have repartioned your phone which is not recoverable. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762709 go here and scroll down to return to stock.

L710 is the model number of the Sprint GSIII. Hopefully you can get it back with section 2 of the link posted above.

If that doesn't work use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1840030 and it will unbrick your phone.

It looks like your are right ... I wanna thank you for pointing out that I was trying to install the sprint version and not the Verizon version. What relief... Thank you again.

Glad you got it working again. Just so happened to recognize the L710 model number from modifying the build.prop to get Google Wallet working. Always be sure that anything you flash for the Galaxy SIII is for the Verizon specific I535. They all look the same but can put you up #(*%*'s creek if you're not careful. I'd suggest avoiding anything that's not specifically in the Verizon Galaxy SIII sub-forums.

So guessing your phone is back to fully functional again? Good to hear.

[Q] Should I be okay to return to Verizon?

So I was rooted and had MIUI running when all of a sudden my radios stopped working. I gave up on trying to fix them because every method i found here didnt work. so i went back to stock, decremented my flash counter, and even passed 2 updates successfully through Verizon. should i be okay to return it? is there any other way they could tell that i rooted it?

your devices data should be fixable...restore imei(if it shows all zeros) and then reprovision your device with dialer code *2767*3855#
if you already attempted this then yea it sounds like the device is ready to be returned.

Amen. If you don't back up your IMEI now before any more ROM flashes and you lose it again in the future you will have no one to blame but yourself.

[Q] Can I return my Galaxy s3?

Hi all, First post on here hope everyone is nice. So I rooted my s3 played around with wickeds rom and liked it alot! Then I saw Synergy came up with the multi window rom so I flashed that! Everything worked great except wifi was not turning on. I saw someone say you need to unlock bootloader and reflash. So...
I used ez unlock to unlock bootloader
I pressed reboot into recovery
AND.... Bricked.. I think.
Can this be fixed? Most people who brick their phones by flashing to a wrong rom but not in my case. The phone wont turn on and wont go into download mode.
WHAT CAN I DO? can i call samsung and tell them that the screen stopped working or something? Its a 2 week old phone!
PLEASE HELP!!!!

U can search for hardbrick solution, i think there is a way to reflash bootloader. If not take it to samsung, maybe they won't see what u did.

I've returned a phone that was bricked back to a retailer no problem. Going through a carrier might be different.

Look for JTAG repair if you are absolutely sure you cannot get into download mode.

I've also flashed that ROM. You must flash Ktoonsez kernel in order to fix the WiFi problem.

That wasn't quite necessary but OK, good luck with your new phone.

[Q] No SIM or wifi after factory reset

Hi,
Yesterday, I had an update from 4.1.1. to 4.1.2. I'm running the stock rom. After I ran in the update, I re-rooted using CF-Auto Root.
Today, I thought I'd do a factory reset. Now, my phone won't detect any SIM card (I've tried 2) and although it seems to detect my wifi, it won't connect.
I had the phone on airplane mode when I selected the factory reset, but I wouldn't have thought that would matter.
Interestingly, I can now select airplane mode to turn on, but it then ghosts out and I can't turn it off.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 2. Please help!

I'm inclined to think this is a software problem as both sim and wifi worked perfectly before the factory reset.
I've tried registering with SamMobile to download the stock rom, but their registration page seems to be wonky. It complains I haven't completed the anti-spam task, but this area of the form is just blank.

yep.. thats a loophole in google... try doing it again... this time with cwm.. if that doesnt work.. u have to get the stock rom via odin

Do you mean this is a known problem then?
I've tried a few more resets with airplane mode on and off and nothings worked.
I don't have cwm at the moment although I could flash that. Where could I get the stock rom from though, besides SamMobile?
Thanks

I just flashed the exact modem I had before, and my baseband, imei etc. are all coming up unknown.
When I enter *#1234#, my cp number is also unknown.
Do roms also include modems? I was once told they didn't. Sorry, I've never flashed anything before besides when I was getting root access

Thanks for all the replies.
One further question, then I'll go hunting ....
I have the GT-N7105T. I know the T variant has different radios. Some people say you can use N7105 roms and some people say no.
Can I safely use an N7105 rom on my N7105T? The phone is pretty useless at the moment but I'd rather not brick it.
Thanks

There's your problem!
The difference between the regular Galaxy model and the T variant is the modem. Telstra 'tweak' it on a hardware level for their NextG network and it means that the performance of the modem is affected to varying degrees (severe in your case) if you use a non 'T' modem.
There should be a modems thread, there should be a N7105T modem. I'll have a look and post back if I find one.

BOOM!
TDVDMB1 (Australia / Telstra) N7105TDVDMB2
TDVALK4 (Australia / Telstra) N7105TDVALK3
Either of these should work, keep them to flash after you reflash a rom onto your phone

good for u.. u got an australian to help u out..

I've tried flashing the modem but unfortunately it had no effect.
I don't have the phone on me so I can't confirm this, but I'm starting to have scary thoughts about the efs. Unfortunately the only changes I've ever made to my Androids was just to root, and I didn't even know what the efs was.
Thing is, after my update my phone worked fine for over 24 hours before I reset it. Does this sound like the efs? How can I tell if that's the problem?
I guess I had to learn somehow, and I've definitely learnt ...

Would it be possible for me to get a copy of an efs folder from another Note 2 and adapt it to mine?

For anyone else who may come across this, I solved the problem by downloading the stock ROM from sammobile and flashing that.
I have also now flashed TWRP and have taken a nandroid including the EFS.
We all have to start somewhere, but hopefully my bad experience will prevent someone else's.

[Q] flashed an other nexus 5' EFS backup. no 3G/4G network no IMEI

Hi everyone.
This is the first time I publish in this forum, so apologise my beginner's manneer
I did a big mistake, when I bought my new Nexus 5, I wanted to restore all data from a backup I made on my older nexus 5 via TWRP custom recovery, and unfortunately i checked the EFS case, this caused my IMEI lose, & at the beginning, I had no network signal until I set up this one on Only EDGE. Now i have just no 3G & 4G network. This is so bad with a NEW purchased phone hope it will be an issue for this.
I tried flashing back to stock, everything failed, no IMEI (0) & NO 3G/4G.
Btw there's no Google/LG service in my country

There's not, unfortunately. You gotta send it in.

That's a harsh lesson to learn. I've made it a habit of backing up partitions separately for a few reasons including avoiding this situation. So easy to not pay attention at the wrong time.
