Verizon SIII Repair - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

My friend was flashing his phone and flashed an image for the wrong model.
Does anyone know if the boot loader can be flashed via an SD Card on a verizon phone such as mentioned in the documentation floating around for the I9300?
Thanks,
Kenny

It doesn't do anything just sits there with a solid red led when I connect the charger. No display or response to button combinations. So it's bricked as hard as can be lol
Not sure of the rom off hand.

Maybe Odin back to stock?

Yup. You need a jtag service. They usually run 50 to 60 bucks. That's pretty much your only option.

Did the same exact thing to my phone. GNAJtag(or play dumb with Verizon)
By the way wrong thread

Just my two cents, don't play dumb, own up and pony up the cash to get it fixed.

Noob question

I'm new to Samsung and was wondering how to tell if your bootloader is unlocked? Also what do you hold down to get into it? On my HTC rezound all you did was hold power and volume down.
Thanks in advance!
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Galaxy SIII's bootloader is locked until you unlock it. And I don't know what you mean "get into it" The way I understand is that the bootloader is just a script that runs when you turn your phone on.
Yeah I ran the script and just wanted to verify it was successful.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
I'm pretty sure he's talking about bootloader mode. But I honestly don't know if our phone has that or not. Anyway. You should download an app from the play store called EZ Unlock. It takes like a nanosecond to unlock your bootloader (literally). Once you do that you should be able to flash non kexec kernels. Like Scotts CleanKernel.

It doesn't work that way. Stock recovery looks for a zip signed with a private key, manufacturers don't give those out.
You have to install a custom recovery, which you'll generally need root to do.

I can't root because the USB is bugered in phone... this there a way to root without USB. Using gingerbread 2.3.5

Looks like that is a program ran from PC not phone... my USB is broke so no PC access via usb
Sent from my SGH-I727R using xda app-developers app
Just curious, how do you charge your phone if the USB is broke? I'm assuming you mean the physical connector is damaged.
Sorry its either firmware or something else but it still charges

J-tag tryouts! 4.1.2 international

Here is the link. It is a file you have to flash in Odin, so if any devs want to make this into a ROM I would be pleased to see one.
Edit: found out this was international version, that is why link is gone. If anyone wants the international link please PM me. Sorry guys...
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Isn't this for the international s3?
Nobody flash this man...not for the d2vzw.
It clearly lists i9300 in the description.

Point of clarification.

Use this method if you are on the old updates, if you are on the MF1 update. just pop in the micro sim from AT&T and select GSM. You can edit the APN on the latest update. but no 3G
Everything should work

I'm thinking that the menu won't show in older versions. Going by the guide IF you're not on the MF1 update would be the best way.

You can always try. I've never tried anything outside of LiquidSmooth v2.7. I just got my S3 a week ago. Haha. I'm sure it should work on any AOSP or AOKP ROM... maybe. :what:

Actually, now that I'm looking back on the guide and in the video... they do it on the stock TouchWiz ROM.
I've seen somewhere, unfortunately I can't recall where, that you can do it on AOSP and AOKP ROMs too. Hmm... maybe ask on the thread of the ROM and someone should be able to tell you.
And make sure your friend knows that if he does get it working that he will have edge data. He may be better off trading his S3 for an AT&T one.

That's the guide I would've linked you to, have you tried using both methods? I've never had to do it, so maybe posting this question in that thread might get you some good responses instead of screenshot advice.
