[Q] Help Phone won't turn on after trying to flash liquidsmooth - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

Hi,
I rooted my phone today and everything worked fine, I then went to CWrecovery to flash the liquidsmooth rom I downloaded. I selected to reboot device after a successful install but now it won't turn on, no screen, led, etc. if I plug into computer I get a contection noise from my computer but thats it. Can't boot into download mode or recovery... What can I do to fix?
thanks

Did you unlock and flash a custom bootloader?

I think so. I rooted/unlocked bootloader.
Did this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2046439&nocache=1
For Both Root and Unlocked Bootloader ***RECOMMENDED*** - Download SuperSU + Unlocked Bootloader to your SD Card
Then tried to flash LiquidSmooth from forum.

Did you wipe data factory reset prior to flashing the rom?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

no i didn't

If you forgot to wipe the phone would still attempt to boot. It just might send you into a bootloop
Anthrax unreleased towchwiz

Yeah except I can't get it to boot at all. No response to turning on, pulled battery, waited 30 minutes, then tried to boot again. nothing. not even the LED. now if I leave the battery out and plug the phone in to the computer the LED turns on but that's it. At the computer end I get the sound for plugging in a USB device, however it doesn't do anything else and there were no drivers for the device: QHSUSB_DLOAD.
Is it hard bricked?

Try getting into recovery by holding volume up+home button +power button at the same time. Hold it for a few seconds and it should vibrate and one the Samsung logo comes on you could let go. At this point I would either try re flashing or restore your most recent backup download another rom and try again.

Tried that, as well at the Vol Down+ home+ power. Neither worked, no vibrate or screen boot.

Take your battery out for at least 5 minutes than put on the charger for awhile (couple hours) than try again. If none of this works hero had a wire up on how to fix your soft brick phone that might help. If your bootloader wasn't unlocked I'm not sure what to do to fix that. I hope you get it going. I'll post that link if I find it.

My friend had this happen (not rooted), she took it in to Verizon and they got it going by holding VOL UP and DOWN, and then POWER.
I'd never heard of this technique, but it worked for her.

Post the link and exact file name of the rom you flashed.

I have the AT&T One X... Ive rooted it, unlocked the bootloader, blah blah blah. Im sort of new at this, so when something happens, Im a little clueless. The point of learning, I suppose. Anyway, today I did a factory reset and restored to my earliest backup. The phone booted originally but then said process.android something or other has stopped working. Phone turned off. Now, when I try to turn it back on, it wont go past the boot animation. Its not connecting to my computer to reboot it with a command, either. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated and ASAP.

From the ROM. Thats when it told me process.android stopped, then went to the htc one x loading screen.
Frankly, my dear, you ****ed up.
Whenever you want to Wipe ANYTHING you have to do it from your recovery (TWRP).
Boot into TWRP by holding the down volume and power, for what seems like a lifetime and try to restore from there?

Now, however, I cant seem to find any ROMs installed on my phone. I know Ive done this somehow before, but how do I get a rom on the phone when the SD card wont mount to my computer?
And when I try to do a factory reset in TWRP it tells me in the dialog: E:Unable to mount /sdcard
Im beginning if this phone and I just werent meant to be. haha
Twrp did the mount thing to me as well. Still plugged USB and PC found the SD anyway. Copied ROM to SD, flash and bingo. Other option is to download the stock RUU.
PS I wouldn't publicly admit u work for at&t. J/k

My computer still doesnt show any connection to the phone. I tried downloading the RUU and when I ran it on PC, it said it couldnt connect to my phone.
When doing RUU, make sure you relock your bootloader. Instructions here http://www.theandroidsoul.com/how-to-re-lock-htc-one-x-bootloader/
make sure you have HTC Sync and drivers installed if you are flashing RUU.
Also when u get into your bootloader, highlight bootloader and select it. After, right above that, in red it will read fastboot usb. Until then your pc wont recognize it.
It worked! You guys are all awesome!

Also reminds us all the importance of backing up our data via a Custom Recovery before flashing ROMs
ive stumpled on upon a quite annoying problem..i have an HTC ONE X+ which i unlocked my bootloader on and everything went smooth until i wanted to start recovery via hboot.
it did not start and i tried several times and restarted etcetc, i then tried to flash in another recovery and then tried more and more but nothing..
then i cant remember now exaclty how i did it, but i have several RUU, kernel, recovery, boot and roms n such items downloaded
so i tried to feed in another flash or rom or whatever its called to get the recovery funtion to work (i am not very pro at this) and then when i wanted to start my phone normally it all of a sudden wont boot properly.
it freezes on the bootscreen.. i can turn off and go in to bootloader but i cant do ANYTHING from there, i cant do a factory reset (wich i also tried when the recovery did not want to work) i cant do **** there. tried to lock and unlock bootloader.. feels like im out of options..
the only thing i can do now is command the phone via cmd and the toolkit i use from here "Hasoon2000s htc one x AIO kit"
using this guide on this thread mostly..
ive tried so many things now, searched this and other forums since friday and i still can not get anywhere... starting to think this is what the definition of a bricked unit is??
if you need any more info please just ask.. i bought the phone a week ago so kinda sucks if it would be useless for me right away haha..
i would appreciate som help and tips... please

[Q] Phone won't boot into ROM or recovery--Possible hardware issue?

I've been having a bit of a hard time with a friend's Skyrocket tonight. I flashed CM9 for her before, and it seems to work well. In the past two to three weeks, though, she tells me that her phone's been randomly turning off. Tonight, I finally decided to install CM10 on the Skyrocket, thinking that this would fix the issue. I installed it through CWM like normal (I've flashed many a ROM, so I couldn't have messed up this process).
With everything installed, I reboot through CWM. The issue is, the phone just goes black. After pulling the battery and trying to boot again, I see the Samsung logo, followed by a black screen. The phone sort of pulsates for a bit at this point, giving me a short vibration here and there, before finally stopping. Attempting to get into recovery doesn't work either. I also, due to me not being used to the download mode feature (I personally have a Galaxy Nexus), accidentally tried to start it by holding the power and volume buttons (rather than holding volume and plugging the phone in, not touching power). The yellow triangle would show up very briefly, and then the phone shuts off.
When getting into download mode the proper way, I was able to get into Odin and flash CWM again. At this point, I should definitely be able to get into Recovery. But alas, I cannot... Same issues as before. At this point, it's revealed to me that, after the random shutoffs that my friend had been experiencing, she would sometimes also have trouble turning the phone back on. Noticing a trend?
I'd like to know what you guys think: Is this a software issue, or is it a hardware issue? For the former, what do you guys recommend so the phone could boot normally again? And for the latter, well... I don't suppose there are any easy hardware fixes I could try?
If you pull the battery and reinsert does the phone start on its own with no button pushes? If so... Stuck power button.

I'm embarrassed to say that I didn't try flashing to stock because I figured it would work, but somehow, it did. I still feel that there's something wrong with the power button, and I'll be doing some more testing, but for now, everything's okay. Thanks for your help.
I bet you can reflash cm10 and it'll work fine. Just do a factory reset and the wipes and you'll be fine.

Pull the battery then put it back in. Press and hold Volume up key, home key then power button. Hold them for a second or 2 after you feel the vibration. Should boot right into recovery.
Did you also install superuser as the guide suggested?

I see a lot of people having this issue, once you feel the vibrate release the power button but keep holding the volume up and home button. Or you can just install rom manager from the play store and use that to reboot to recovery (there is a option in it).

I did make sure to uncheck the reboot system, pulled the battery and pushed the vol up + power + home. but it just reboots right after that. Btw, thanks for taking time to read my post.

Anyone have any idea what could have caused this just so i know what to or what not to do in the future ?

To get to CWM recovery on this ROM, simply download 'Quick Boot' application and use it to get to recovery. It works.
Apex launcher crashes as well. I think issue is ROM related. Also, ROM is very heavy, I couldn't find why.
Edit: ROM is snappier after using CM performance features and letting cache do its work.

I got through the splash screen on 1st try.
You should check if you worked according to ROM instructions.
I usually always format system as well as wipe everything twice before flashing any new ROM.
I was referring to :
1. the lack of recovery button on power menu.
2. The inability to use hardware keys to get to recovery after flashing this ROM.
Heimdall One-click (in download mode) and try again.
You're right - I missed that option in developer features - it's called 'advanced reboot options'.
I'd suggest you get to download mode - one click heimdall and reflash this ROM after dowble wiping dalvik, cache, and format system.
I've flashed numerous ROMS to my phone before but have never ran into a problem like this.
-I went back to stock
-flashed CM7, as recommended from the OP
-downloaded and flashed CM10.2 but it gets stuck around 75%
I've been on this thread, and the rom thread as well as waiting a bit, hoping to find a solution or it figures itself out. Nothing! Is it unsafe to pull my battery when its at 'Installing update' (75%) for an extended period of time?
Also, i am on CWM 5.0.2.8
Thanks
I flashed it from ICS (Ultragen) and had no problem.
You can try that as well.
