I just got my phone yesterday. I rooted it, backed up my appz with titanium backup (which is doing me no good now. the phone wont pick up internal hard drive in recovery mode. i downloaded an overclocking app but never used it. i changed the font today and installed Beats Audio and as SOON as the installation of Beats Audio was done, my verizon galaxy s3 froze. I was forced to pull the battery, the phone started up normally but got stuck at the 4G LTE screen. Ive tried clearing the cache, factory reseting it. I tried loading the rooted and stock roms. Odin tells me this
<ID:0/005> Added!!
<ID:0/005> Odin v.3 engine (ID:5)..
<ID:0/005> File analysis..
<ID:0/005> SetupConnection..
<ID:0/005> Complete(Write) operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
I get the same when i try to flash the stock bootloader as well. someone please help me. i just got this phone yesterday and i want my baby back. =crying:

I previously read your posts and followed them but im still bricked. i will tried your recommendation about the SD card but I am still having that issue with Odin not completing its task when i try to flash the stock rom. Its like its having trouble connecting or something is preventing it from certain tasks.
Do you have all the drivers described in the post I linked you to installed on your computer? Do you have another computer you can try

AHHHH my friend i thank you VERY much. I thought this was the computer I used. I used my girlfriends laptop which is a better performing computer. but i did not think of that because I started this on another computer, continued on mine, and now, im on my girls laptop which i originally did my rooting on. Odin hasnt finished but im getting farther in the process than I have yet today. I DO thank you again for you help and wish you and your family a happy holiday season =)
Glad it seems to be working. One tip, after you get up and running make a backup in cwm before you do anything else. This way you always have a stock backup to fall back on.

most definitely will now that i see the possible inconvenience doing things like this can cause you. I have a tip for you as well... DONT INSTALL BEATS AUDIO USING THE INSTALLER!!!! lol
Yep if possible do stuff manually. The beats zips work great, check out the pimp my ROM app. it has beats and a lot more And is safe for stock ROM.

I'm having the same problem with beats installer; I'm currently waiting on the Stock ROM to download so I can ODIN it back on. (fingers crossed)
In the meantime, do any of the beats zips' include support for the Volume Controls or fix the problem that you can't use them as phone headset? That's what I was really trying to accomplish.
having issues regaining root after clean flashin rom .

Hi i was having the same issues with the beats driver i followed you step and managed to unbrick my device successfully. i flashed it to the unificial jelly bean leak to be exact it was this one Unofficial VRBLK1 4.1.1- http://www.myandroidfiles.com/open1y...w_ship.tar.md5 which once again was successful but the problem i am having now is rooting my device. i am using the same rooting method which is called debugfs-based root for galaxy sIII and now when it tries to copy the files necessary it keeps saying failed to copy su, and everything says failed to copy any of the files needed to root and my device reboots 3 times every single reboot step fails to copy any of the files. any ideas?? i am downloading the official stock verizon rom from your directions page i dont know if it is the rom or what it is help please thanks/
That page isn't showing, but that root method I believe is only for ICS. I would Odin to stock, root unlock and put on a recovery then flash in recovery one of that prerooted leaks

Run the one click exe again. That screen your seeing is also download mode.

Same thing happened to me. Just keep trying. Different USB ports, different cable...or use Odin to flash the ics TAR. Make sure Odin recognizes your phone and try. May have to repeat this process of "open odin one click, connect phone, hit start " or "open Odin, connect phone, select PDA, select appropriate TAR, hit start ". Keep trying dude. May fail a few times before it passes.

Why is what i want to know. Check the dev section. We have roms u can flash directly from gingerbread in cwm with out wiping anything. No issues smooth transition to ics
There's 2 collective roms. Available. That offer u a simple flash upgrade. No kernel or modem flashes nessicary
Thank You

Hi everybody!
So I've read every thread on here regarding what to do when troubleshooting a bricked phone and yet none of which has worked. My younger brother created this mess for me by rooting his phone and flashing it. When I try to reverse the damage by rerooting, I can only put it into the download mode and clockworkmod but that's it, it won't get passed the AT&T screen and the SAMSUNG logo (it was a Rogers phone to begin with). Two of the drives on the phone keep giving error messages when I try to clear user data (/sdcard & /datadata). From what I gather, none of the USB debugging was done, he didn't back anything up (his loss) but the phone isn't partitioned properly (I personally don't know what that means). It doesn't appear to be a power button issue.
Is there someway I can salvage this phone, or should it just get scrapped?
Thanks in advance.
Go here to start with. Make sure you have Odin. To run it, right click and run as administrator. Follow instructions for package. If you don't know just google odin flashing.
Here is a Rogers odin package http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1197248

Correct,
Relax and take a deep breath.The phone is just fine and your going to fix it. I thought was in your position a few days ago and my phone was in much worse shape than what you have now. Odin is your friend. You just need to read some more first and ask a few questions.
Most likely you have not lost anything.
thanks
I appreciate the help thus far,
I've tried Odin and I guess I was using an AT&T package. I'll try using the Rogers package provided and let you know how it went.
Also, I don't mind being talked to like I have no clue what I'm doing, because that's exactly what I am. I just wish I knew exactly what he did to give more accurate information.

This is my first post so please be patient and tolerant if i dont use the right place to put this thread, use wrong terminology, or if simply my question is to stupid....

I have tried wiping (factory reset), restoring from previous backups and flashing the cwm over but nothing seems to work...
Please help me solve this problem!
Im running on CM10 stable version.
Thank you very much
I would flash a stock rom with Odin and hope that clears everything up. And then start over with the correct custom recovery. You've found the right guides by vincom to do that.

Ok thanks ill try that and tell you how it went
It works
It wooooooooooooooooooooorked!!!! :good:
My phone came back from the dead and I am soooooo happy!!!
Here is what I did:
Flashed Gingerbread Stock Firmaware with Odin. After it was successfully flashed the phone rebooted on its own. The att "rethink possible" logo appeared and after a while it went away but the same animation with the same logo loaded itself again... this happen millions of times (for about an hour) and it never loaded the OS. When I tried to turn it off it wouldnt let me but finally made it somehow... then I manually entered stock recovery mode made a factory reset and cahe partition wipe as well, rebooted the phone and it worked!
I am really happy!!! thank you all for helping me out!
The boot loop is typical if you don't do the factory reset. That's what got you through the boot loop. Glad everything is working.

So I just want confirmation of what I fear. I think I bricked my T959W by following this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1852546 before doing my homework (for shame).
After getting past the root phase the phone turned on and I was getting ready to load a CWM or something but the phone locked up.
So I pulled the battery and went in to download mode. Then Odin connected but I accidentally pulled the USB.
So now I am at the aforementioned Phone-Triangle-PC loop. I have tried USB Jig without success.
So I have read over 40 post on this and my conclusion is it most likely I need to send it in for a JTAG Repair. As I most likely fudged the bootloader.
I am posting this only because no one has posted these exact symptoms that I could find.
Thanks

Ok it seems to be "saved" I had not realized there are 2 download modes. At any rate when I attempted those heimdall guides, one click and using the frontend. It started displaying the large triangle download screen. I cannot boot into recovery still, I may need help on this front.
Now before I move on could I get pointed at ROM/Guide that will get me operational again? I am a bit gun shy after this.
Thanks again,

Only problem is I can't mount the sd card. And so I cannot load a ROM from it. I will be looking into this but I felt I should update.

Actually sir. I had this same problem. But i fixed it myself ^_^ Google is a awesome tool. What i had to do is Re-flash a kernel and rom. I pulled the plug in download mode. Took me about 12 hours of reserch and work to FINALLY fix it. Is your phone the SGH-T959V? If so i still have all the stuff you need i do believe.
---------- Post added at 09:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:52 PM ----------
I have Found the files that you need to flash through Odin
I can instruct you how to download SDK tools and use command prompts to Put your phone in Download mode.
It would be my pleasure. I definately do believe both of our phones are pretty much exactly the same. Id be more than happy to help another XDA member out. Post back or PM me for instructions.
So I took the 4.3 OTA (like an idiot) and Saferooted. All has worked very well. No custom ROMs etc, just few root-authorized apps (TBU etc.)
Last night in the dead of night I decided to factory reset my phone and let my wife use the phone for a bit (she is thinking about switching from her iPhone). So I backed up with TBU then wanted to back up a Nandroid with CWM. I used ROM Manager to update to the latest version of CWM then asked to reboot into recovery.
Here is where the problems begin. When the phone went to boot into recovery the phone says in small red letters 'SECURE FAIL: KERNEL'. Then in a large warning 'System software not authroized by verizon has been found on you phone. Please turn off you phone and go to the nearest Verizon Wireless store for help.'
What are my options to move forward? I saw this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2581166 but that specifically references hard bricked phones. Is that what I have?
I feel like if I could boot into the ROM I would be okay as that is stock, but the phone keeps trying to boot into recovery. Just before the unauthorized warning I see the small blue letter saying 'RECOVERY BOOTING'
I feel like an idiot. In my late night haze I totally forgot that this phone is all locked up. I have been messing about with several phones (installing ROMs and recoveries etc.) that I totally forgot that this phone does not have a custom recovery because of this exact issue.
Any advice? Thanks!
Well, I must not have searched before my first post adequately because, as expected there are several posts about this issue. All basically amount to Odining stock 4.3 onto the phone. Problem is I cannot find stock 4.3 anywhere. Links seem to be broken. Can anyone help?
Thanks
