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 will take it to tmobile today and post back what happens. Thanks guys

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

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.
hey guys i just recently bought and unlocked my skyrocket...the phone has been working great for a couple weeks now the battery randomly shuts off and i get a black screen with a vibrate when trying to boot phone up. I installed the Juggernaut ROM onto this phone and it works like a charm. I even bought a new battery and it worked for a day and now back to square 1. I even tried my battery from SGS 4G and that started the phone. What exactly is wrong? Rom or battery?

I don't even remember what juggz looks like. It's a year old gb Rom. Try an ics Rom if you want stability and a newer os. Sky-ics, mohans embryo, to name a couple.

Are the battery contacts all dirty, bent, or something look wrong with them?
Restoring to stock makes no change meaning that the problem is with the phone itself or something. Maybe you had messed it up by doing something wrong while flashing or... ))
I think what better for you is that you should contact your carrier and have them replace your phone. This will not be a problem as you've just got it.
Just tell them exactly what happens to the phone, but don't tell them that the phone used to be rooted.
When you got your replacement, pm me inbox, I'm gonna show you how to install CMW, and then go straight ahead to Jelly Bean which is the ROM I'm running right now. Since you said your phone was unlocked, I think even if you use your stock ROM, you still are able to use T-Mobile SIM card or any others. ( But I was told by an ATT agent that the phone needed to be used at least 3 months or something in order to get the code to unlock it)
The reason I'm using custom ROMs is that I can do a wifi tether whenever I want, and be able to run the most recent Android version as soon as it is released.

Still dead. Phone gets warm when charging and I saw the guy testing the battery in a machine. I was rooted. Opened bootloader. I was running the very first public beta of android 4.2.1
PS: I installed the ROM but I forgot the gapps, soo when the phone turned on, I turned off, I tried to boot in to recovery but I didn't hold the volume button soo I saw the phone starting, when google logo was there, I took off the battery, I tried to turn on in recovery, system and download mode. No sucess. Dead phone.

JB's a killer for certain batch of Nexus S. Mine included. Search thread and you can see many reports. I sent mine back for warranty repair, got main/motherboard replaced. Working fine now with CM10.

Hi Everyone,
I have a at&t Tab2 10.1 3g that i tried to install CM10.1 on. I downloaded the nightly rom for 5100 and flashed it to the tab, then flashed the gapps afterwards. I have CWM recovery on my tab. After the choosing to reboot, the tab never rebooted, just a black screen. I've read that maybe fully charging it with the wall charger will help out, I think I was only at around 20% when I was doing all the updates, not sure if that has anything to do with it either. But while I'm waiting for the tab to charge back up, has anyone have any suggestions if it doesnt power up in the morning for me? I'm pretty sure I did everything correctly since I have a S3 that still works perfectly fine.
Worst case scenario, its either send it in to Samsung to get fixed, or try out the mobiletechvideos guys. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks!
BTW, I also tried holding the power by itself and also power + vol- for over 30sec with no luck either.

Why? I mean your model number is SGH-I497, why you came on such a foolish idea to flash a 5100 ROM to your SGH-I497? Thats totaly different Tabs...
....OH and your Tab is Hardbricked.
There is no custom rom for the i497. I have looked. If you can boot to CWM I have the stock rom backed up. I also dumped my rom, but it isn't in a odin file. So you might be SOL unless you can find a dev willing to work with it.

yea, guess I misunderstood when I thought I read that the att 3g version was the same as th 5100 version
Yea, my tab doesnt even turn on anymore. I just misread everything thinking mine was the same as the 5100 because of the 3g.

That was in reply to Oditius's comments.
It's a shame, Sorry I can't help, if you can't get into CWM or download mode that is unfortunate. I was going to try the Tmobile rom, but decided to pass. They would be closer than any other. But no LTE service with it... I will just wait till a dev picks up a i497 and creates one.

um.... maybe you should try flashing another rom with Odin first.
there might be a system bug instead of hardware problems
i got same problem yesterday,i was on data mode with wechat and dialer running that time.
yes, my also hangs, new battery does not help, I tried about 5 ROMs with/without root 4.1.2, 4.2.2, I also tried other kernels, the undervoltage ones - it reset and hangs much more - so I assume it might be something to do with voltage on cpu on certain frequences
Same problem here. I've already taken my phone back to store for repairs twice and updated to 4.2.2, but still no change. It behaved nicely for a week since last repairs, but now it keeps restarting and powering off randomly.

Thanks. I will see if he wants to go to service again, or let me try to fix it. But better to ask them to downgrade for him, he did not have problems before 4.2.2 I think. And next solution would be CM.
Lol. Another solution is to buy another phone
