I was sending a text message tonight and out of no where the phone's screen turned off and went into a vibration loop. Took out the battery and put back in and as soon as I put in the battery the phone boots up and passes the samsung logo and goes into vibration loop, tried to enter clockwork recovery and it won't work! it gives like a mini CRT-off animation and reboots what do I do? Been running skyics for almost 2 months now no issues. cant enter download mode either wtf!
*edit* I guess I need to order a USB JIG? Not sure tho since I cant enter download mode or CWR.. once I enter download mode when it gives me the warning to "install custom OS" blah blah, and it just reboots itself and then boot loops with vibration.. not sure if my phone qualifies for a soft brick or hard brick.
Which sky ics?
Do you have a device support center near you? I had the same problem running a custom from and brought it there..they couldn't even flash it back to stock because it would boot loop so they just gave me a new one

One before the latest one, UDLD2 or w.e.. so is my phone hard bricked or soft? And I might try to get warranty work done.. I don't understand why this happened tho, doesn't make sense.. not like I dropped the phone a second before it happened

It sounds soft bricked. Can you get into DL mode? Odin stock tar?

You didn't read the OP post properly. No I can not get into DL mode, it just restarts the phone when it tries to after giving the "custom OS warning"

Maybe you have debris bridging the battery contracts like that other one a while ago. There is a thread called something like, symptoms of a bricked phone.

same thing happened to me. Since they can't load it up to see the warranty is voided, you will just get a new one.

I think it is the reason. I Have been seeing it on both the t989 and here. I think it's the same bug the note has. Wiping with the ics kernel is making bricks everywhere. It's just starting to happen and be documented on the rocket and 989. That's just my guess, taker it or leave it.

That's the same thing that's happening with the note. Some run fine for a long time, some get bricked almost immediately after. I'm not saying this is your case, but it might be. I'm avoiding the ics leak. I ran it fine for longer than a month, but I'm done with it now.

I thought the bricking was related to using the notes modem (in the note and in the skyrocket).

There's at least one sticky in the note forum about it, should be easy to spot. As far as the 989, I have seen a couple threads with similar problems like you. I'm not gonna hunt them down right now, I'm on my phone

same problem except mine wouldnt even go to the boot logo. when i tried to turn it on it would just vibrate. sent it into samsung and they replaced the PCB and it worked fine,
I just hard bricked my sgs3. FIRST TIME EVER!! I've been flashing roms,kernels, etc since the MyTouch3.
Little back story.....
I flashed the LSmooth - Linaro 4.2.1 Jelly Bean Rom with CWM6. I noticed that I could not find my nandroid backups. Searched XDA and saw a thread that stated that TWRP is compatible with 4.2.1 and it will move the internal /sdcard from /0 back to its original file location, etc, etc. I went to GooManager, downloaded the twrp.tar (d2vzw), then went to MobileOdin, loaded the .tar file and flashed.
BOOM!!! No power, DOA. dead ass!! :crying::crying:
(( FACE SLAP )) then I remembered via build.prop it was configured as "maguro" and not "d2vzw". So, I'm assuming that since I failed to edit the build.prop before flashing the d2vzw TWRP recovery, it bricked my phone.
-- No power via wall, usb
-- No download / recovery mode
-- NOTHING!
My question is, if I were to call in and ask for a warranty exchange, what is the likely hood of Verizon troubleshooting, reviving my phone and figuring it out that its been rooted?
Or, should I just send my phone to someone that can JTAG it for me?

I don't have an answer for your question but I would like to ask one. Did the build.prop change cause the phone to brick because it made Goo Manager download the wrong file, Mobile ODIN to flash it wrong/to the wrong place, or something else I'm totally missing? This is just a new one to me and I try to stay up on this stuff so I don't end up with a brick myself. Thanks.

Yes goo manager downloads recovery based on your build prop and such that's why it's always bad at the same time to change it if you aren't careful.

I was wondering because my vzw rep was unsure. i was going to invest in mobiletech , but i was unsure about the wait time and not having a phone for a few days to weeks. if it was TMO or ATT, yea I would have sent it because I can find me a prepaid GSM phone and use that temporarily. Oh well, thanks for the response!
Actually, I just hard bricked my s3 a couple hours ago as well! My situation is a little different though! Earlier today I received my OTG cable in the mail from eBay....long story short, this thing just destroyed my phone....turns out I'm not the only one who's had this happen! People, please be careful, don't do what I did and buy a cheap OTG cable! There seems to be some confusion as to whether it's the cable or the phones that are the cause of the problem....just google it.... OTG hard brick.....you'll see what I'm talking about!

Hello I just signed up because I'm panicking, I just tried to root my s3 and it is completely unresponsive now. It is just off like the battery is bone dead cant get into download or anything. I was following this youtube video up until about 2:25 and it never rebooted, just stayed blank. I've tried unplugging the battery and doing volume down home and pwr button and it does nothing. Is it toast or salvageable? I don't understand what I could have done wrong following the video exactly...
The video is the second one that comes up on Youtube if you search "how to root gs3 verizon" (I can't post links yet because I'm a noob)
I've looked up how to unbrick but all require you to ut it in download mode, I cant even get there...
Thanks for any help you guys have!
I posted this on s3 forums too trying to get help asap ;(
Which youtube video were you following?
Not all root methods apply to all variants of s3's, there should always be caution to this. You can easily brick your device if you used the international root method or such.

Stupid question: Have you pulled the battery?
Did you accidentally place the file in the Bootloader or Phone section of Odin? If so then that would surly brick you phone.

Sounds like your only option is to purchase the JTAG service from someone. Good luck.
So I ended up taking the battery out for like half hour plugged it back in with the phone plugged in and got downloader back. I followed how to un-brick and I think I'm good now. Phew.... I don't know if I want to try this again. That was like 4+ hours of trying to get the download screen to come back. I'll stick with a stock phone screw that.

Word of advice don't go to YouTube go here, rootwiki or any sites that gives you proper directions for rooting. I have rooted my phone seven months ago and never had problems with the original method when I had ICS nor the new method for jellybean.
Thanks I'll follow the root guide next time. Maybe I'll try this weekend again. Will update.
Be sure to follow this one

I bricked mine mucking about with partitions. Got a new one from Telstra.
If you can't get it to start neither can AT&T, so no-one will be able to see if it's unlocked/rooted.
Some will say it's dishonest, but you could just go and take it to them and say 'it won't turn on'. Not really a lie is it?

Not sure if it matches my symptopms
Yes try that. If you can get past step 3 (enumerating your partitions) you can save your phone.

One of this forum's "regulars" also bricked while flashing ElementalX. You might look at this post, and see if it sounds familiar: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=40519361&postcount=2791

There is no fix because there's no way to reach the phone to reflash the messed up partition table without the proper tools (jtag).

Thank you very much! It worked!!!
I just decided to send mine into HTC since their warranty still covered it, its already being sent back and it only took literally two weeks. Not sure if they just fixed the same phone or sending me a new one but they handled it extremely fast and the customer support was great.
I've read every thread on XDA about the Infuse. I was able to successfully update from 2.3.6 to cm9. Then of course I got greedy and went to cm10. While in CM10 the android keyboard kept FC'n. I went back into CWM and Factory reset, cache, data, dalvik and so on. Then I tried to perform a restore from a previous cm9 install. I got an error saying the system was unable to mount my system and something about not being able to mount recovery something or another.
I know normally I could just ODIN back to EP4 and work my way back up. Unfortunately my USB port was broken somehow by my teenage son when he was using the device. Because I'm a sucker and gave my daughter my SGH_i957 so this is the only device I have. Is there anyway I can fix this through CWM? Or is this phone a brick and I am without luck?
Thank You all
as usual I get no help, awesome

Only possible way I know is using heimdal and Odin back to GB, due to partitions u can't down grade from JB to anything lower than it. Same with ICS. U have bricked ur phone and even though u can access ur recovery I do not know of a solution to fix ur bricked phone unless u get ur USB port fixed

FWIW, sadly, I recently asked an independent repair shop about fixing the micro USB port on a smart phone, as I figure they must wear out fairly frequently due to all the plugging and unplugging for charging. They said that except for in the cases of about 3 to 5 models of phones, it is nearly impossible to fix the micro USB port on a phone because it is micro-soldered to the board. However, this may just be due to the fact that the repair shop doesn't have some of the more sophisticated equipment that a bigger repair shop would have. YMMV.
Thank You

I appreciate your input. I looked online for hardware and the cost didn't suit the needs so I tossed it.
Thank you again for replying though, greatly appreciated.

The screen was broken and I'd just grown so frustrated with it. I'll give up my HTC Thunderbolt for an Infuse.....
