[Q] Help - I bricked my phone with latest VZW update - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

Ok, I have a phone that I purchased used. When my S3 got the Jellybean update in December, I found out it had Clockwork Recovery Mod installed on it. It scared the hell out of me, but I went ahead with the update and it was fine. I am a complete newb to rooting and would never root my phone (I lack the skills). When the update went through in December, I was relieved. For more details on all that, see this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2048805
Today's update was a different story. This update appears to have broken my phone.This time, it won't even boot up. It just say "System software not authorized by Verizon Wireless has been found on your phone and go to the nearest Verizon Wireless Store for help." Any suggestions on how to fix this? Am I completely screwed? I have almost no knowledge of rooting, ODIN, etc.

It's not bricked.. you should be able to get in download mode and flash a stock firmware with Odin..
edit: I'll link you the url's to the howto's as soon as I get to my pc

The weirdest thing just happened. Ok, I put in ODIN mode and pressed cancel. Then like 3 minutes later, it just started up all on its own. The update failed of course but the phone is working again. Weird. Was able to turn it off and restart.
I think I may trade this phone back into the same folks who sold it to me. I am clearly not cut out for this.

i'm glad the problem solved by itself
anyway if you still want to attempt to reset the phone to stock here is everything you should need to know :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762709 (take a look at section 5)
it's really not as hard as it looks...just be aware there is always a chance that something could go wrong....just take your time, read, and only go ahead if you are fully confident and willing to accept the risks...
let us know how it went and don't hesitate to ask for help if you are still in doubt after reading the forum

I hate how I am average Joe with my root knowledge and I could fix your phone without thinking twice.
It surprises me you have an xda account and can not even root and unlock boot loader.
You ask for help then say. Never mind.
Haha whatever works for you at the end of the day.

Unlocked MT4G Constant rebooting

I'm completely new to the android experience, this is my first smartphone, ever. I recently purchased an unlocked myTouch 4G and from time to time I would plug my phone into it's charger and it would just cut off and reboot, and stay in this reboot cycle anywhere from 1 - 15mins.
I'm not sure what the issue could be, I don't have a warranty for the phone. I factory reset it using the software since i can't hard reset it from the bootloader. If I try to do that from the bootloader it will just take me through the rebooting cycle again. When I boot into the bootloader it's frozen for about 5 seconds and shows some error about a ZIP file on my SD card not being found (I'm assuming it's looking for an Android image).
This reboot cycle mostly happens when I'm dealing with plugging it in a charger, rarely it will do this when I power off the phone or reboot it from the software (the proper way). Unless I take the battery out, while the phone is off, I never pulled the battery while the phone is running.
What are some options available to me?
Go here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1244018
and follow the instuctions. It will give you a link to the zip file the bootloader is looking for.

dead links
Megaupload is dead, I can't use that post. I'm not even sure what the poster is informing people to do, looks like a downgrading. I'm not trying to downgrade, my phone is stock (as far as I know, it's running froyo 2.2.1).
Also I have no clue how to go into adb.
Here is Froyo http://www.4shared.com/zip/xa6viHf-/PD15IMG_221_.html
You won't be downgrading. Just download and flash the file. Its froyo.

^I'll try this.
Does anyone know a specific reason why this happens to the phone? is it the hardware or software/apps?
Also, is there a valid link to a Gingebread update from HTC/Tmobile? (valid please, megaupload doesn't exist anymore.)
Here is Gingerbread, although you may want to consider rooting and using a flashable Gingerbread Rom, unless you are trying to keep it Stock. http://www.4shared.com/zip/OrXR0864/PD15IMG_234_.html

Scared
I'm still thinking about whether or not to flash these, I just did an OTA update and thought the issue was fixed until after a few reboots the issue started happening again.
I have questions I would like answered because I don't know what's going on:
Is this a hardware or software issue? Because if it's hardware I think I'll just send the phone back for a refund. If it's software then I'm sure I can just flash a completly different version of android and it'll go away (although not 100% sure)
I snooped around these forums and Google and failed to find a solid answer.
jjbadd385 are these links you're sending me ROMs from tmobile, stock android, or another source??
I don't want to cause any damage to the phone when I could just send it back and buy another, only reason I don't want to send it back just yet is beause if I can find a fix on these forums then id be happy.
Might be hardware just send it back and don't deal with non of this specially if u can still return it u might regret it later when u can no longer get a refund or exchange it for a different one just my .02$

[Q] Possibly bricked, can't enter download mode/recovery mode

Title speaks for itself.
I've been lurking the forums for a few months, so... Hi! My tech vocab is limited, but I catch on quickly. Please bare with me.
Anyways, Kies wanted me to upgrade my firmware on my 7.0, so like... Yeah. Stupid me didn't remember that the device was sitting in my lap and connected to my computer WHILE going through the upgrade, and I was feeling uncomfortable, and moved. By doing that, the USB unplugged from the device. I've tried going through with the upgrade via Kies after, but... Just no. Now my device is stuck on the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue" screen, and no matter how many times I try to reboot it, soft reboot, entering download mode, it always, ALWAYS, goes back to that screen.
So, I plug it in again, and connect it to Odin. But... Wait! I don't have any of the files I need. So I look around and download files instructed by several people for my specific device, but I don't think I need them for this specific problem.
What exactly do I need to get, and how to I put it all together in Odin to make my device work again? I don't really care if all my files get deleted (although it would be great if I could keep them), I just need to get this resolved before Tuesday, since I have textbooks on it that I need for classes.
tl;dr I'm lost, and I need a push in the right direction.
Thanks in advanced!
First, I know how nerve racking this is so I am going to try, and help. I am new to Samsung, but I would think that a stock firmware flash from Odin would fix it. Look in the development forums for officials firmware, and download it. I would give you a link, but you forgot to post what model you have. It can be important. Good luck.
P.S. congrats on joining xda. Sorry it took this o bring you onboard.

Ah! Thanks! I can't believe I forgot to post my model ahaha;

I'll go ahead and look in that thread. If I come across any other problems, I'll post them here.
Update: I've clarified that I can't enter download mode. How do I go about flashing with Odin if I can't do that?
I got that screen before. Flash again using ODIN and a full charged laptop, do not load any pit file.

looks strange
switch off your device completely, now just press power button and volume "DOWN" button simultaneously and dont leave them.
well, it should not show the "SAMSUNG GALAXY TAB 2 7.0" thing and directly boots the screen into the download mode.
do you mean that, even on doing this too u get the error message as prescribed by you in your above comments--->"error updating firmwire" or something like that??? cz manufacturers first check your device is under warranty or not by entering into download mode(by checking the binary counter) and then booting and checking for root apps(some manufacturers dont check this thing, they just check binary counter)
well for entering into recovery mode u ve to do the reverse----->power button+volume "UP" button, but in this case you it should show that "SAMSUNG GALAXY TAB 2 7.0" thing, as soon as it display you should leave your power button but keep pressing your volume"UP" button.
do you mean even on doing this too you get the same error message?????
if yes, then it is likely that your device is permanently bricked(well, NOT SURE), but then you should consult to samsung for a replacement if its within warranty, else there may be some advanced users or software developers in this forum who may help you, i am just an amateur, sharing my experience with such devices.

[Q] [Root] Messed it up my phone

Okay, I couldn't find an answer I was looking for anywhere else; I'll try and keep it brief:
I am new to android. I rooted my Straight talk Galaxy SII with cyanogen mod 10.1, and everything went fine with it, no problems so far.
I introduced my friends to the wonders of rooting, and feeling unconfident in his own abilities, he gave me his Verizon Galaxy SIII for the night for me to root for him.
In short, I messed it up and now every time I try to turn it on or enter recovery mode, it gives me a yellow triangle, and says "Verizon has identified software on your device that is not approved, please bring it in to your Verizon store for help." or something along those lines.
I am done trying to root it now, because I do not want to mess anything up and just want to get it back to 100% factory stock so I don't have to pay for a new $700 phone....I tried following this ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1840030 ) guide to reset the phone, but the link to the Root66.tar is not available anymore because Mega Share is gone, and when I downloaded the torrent, and tried to extract it with 7-zip, 7zip tells me into can't enter the archive.
I was wondering if anyone knew of that file located somewhere else where I can grab it myself (I already googled it) or if anyone has a better, simpler alternative to get this phone to factory stock?
I can still get into download mode, by the way, I just can't get to the home screen, or boot into recovery mode.
ANY help is greatly appreciated, I have already chewed off all my fingernails and am quite scared I completely trashed the phone. I don't plan on messing with any of this anymore after this.
Lol you'll be fine. You're seeing this warning because you didn't unlock the bootloader depending on how you rooted the phone. Use Droidstyle's guide in the dev section and Odin flash stock image of either VRALG1 or VRBLK3. It formats /sdcard btw.

Installed New update, soft brick. Need an official signed rom

Anyone know of, or or have a link to a factory rom (hell any rom would do at this point) that I would be able to flash with the stock S3 recovery? Just trying to unbrick my phone. Story of what happened below:
I'm running stock 4.1.1 rooted touchwiz. I wake up this morning to a notification saying I had an update on my phone. Should have definitely waited but without thinking I went ahead and updated, which of course soft bricks? The phone. (boots up, and but hangs at the 4Glte, flash screen)normally this would be an easy fix, I could Odin back to stock or something but I'm down in Mississippi till Monday for training and do not have access to my pc.
I can access the factory recovery on the phone but that's it, have no clue where CWM is. I've tried flashing some backups but the factory recovery says that it's not a signed package or whatever. Anyone have any idea how I can get this sucker booted up and running using just an android tablet?
What about reflashing CWM so I can access my backups? Could I somehow flash CWM with factory recovery?:

first of all you can't flash anything on a stock recovery hence the need of a custom recovery. Second you don't accept the OTA when rooted as it can cause the exact issue that you have. Last there isn't a way to fix your problem via another android device that I know of.
U are going to need a pc and then u will need to download Odin http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1165122&d=1340993443 and u can get the official software from here on XDA http://hotfile.com/dl/182822657/9f6...WBLK3_381038_REV09_user_low_ship.tar.md5.html this is the 4.1.1 software. Here is a link to some official pre rooted software http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1984436 all of these software's you can install though Odin just look up here on XDA on how to use Odin and you will be fine once your phone is up and running again then you will need to get you a custom recovery. Then you can access your backups.

He was asking if he can use an android tablet to fix his phone. He doesn't have access to PC at least until Monday it says so in his post. I wasn't even criticizing you at all. Unless he knows someone with a PC in Mississippi or someone here knows how to use one android device to flash something on another android device he sadly will have to wait until he gets home to fix his phone. You didn't do anything to be criticized for trying to help all I did was point out the info that you missed without personally attacking you making it a critique.

all would have been ok except the line up of the way to do things was kinda outta line.. after i had locked bootloader "which is the way the GS3 came" i thought. at any rate i am now where i said i was and if i can be helped it would be appreciated.. and no repeated.. next time i'll read their whole line up first.. so help me if ya can and i am game right now for about anything ..

[solved] Bricked Galaxy S6 - Help

THIS IS NOW RESOLVED. PLEASE DO NOT CONTINUE TO POST ON MY THREAD. YOUR CIRCUMSTANCES WILL NOT BE THE SAME AS MINE NORE ARE THEY LIKLEY TO RESOLVE ISSUES YOU HAVE, AS MINE WAS CAUSED BY A VERY SPECIFIC PROBLEM. START YOUR OWN THREADS DONT HIJACK MINE
Good morning XDA Devolopers,
I have used this site for many a year now but today had to sign up to get some help.
I purchased my SM-920F from Ebay, and low and behold, it had been blocked here in the UK, ever the optimist i looked about online and indeed there are several options online, including some services for remote unlocking, i decided it was worth a shot and ordered it, only from there on it goes from bad to worse.
After the unlock i was constantly greeted with Security Errors and Warning, i contacted the company who unlocked it, and was told to re-flash the rom with the same baseband version, after alot of hunting i found a rom from SAM Mobile and away i went, flashed and all seemed to go well i waited and waited, phone stuck on the boot screen. Galaxy S6, powered by Android...
I returned to the unlocking company asking for advice, only to be called a liar and they would never suggest i reflash the rom or firmware.
So now im stuck with a brick, ive tryed all i can think off and all i can research and i just cant make any progress. I did note after the unlock SuperSU had been installed on my phone (i wasnt made aware the unlock required them to root my phone, they tripped knox in the process).
I have a SM-920F origonally on O2 UK, i have tryed flashing there rom with no joy.
Im desperate to have this phone orking, even if its just for calls, my wife is currently at the hospital with our son whos fighting for his life against cancer, and all i get is abuse from here, i dont get paid till the 1st of the month so a new phone is out of the question at present. The unlocking company i used are tools, and to think iw as mighty impressed at the time.
I do have SOME cash, if theres a pro out there who wants to make a few bucks and can remote connect to me to help me solve this it would be much appreciated, i am just now stuck and desperate and badly need the help of the community.

Turn off your phone, and then turn it on pressing and holding Volume Up, Home, and Power button at the same time until you see a warning. Then press Volume Up to continue, and navigate using volume keys and select wipe cache/factory reset with the Home button, then reboot.
Please note that by doing this all your data will be lost.

Having installed TWRP i noticed something very intresting, TWRP reports no operating system is installed.
Ive taken a leap of faith and using ODIN am now flashing the Stock 5.1.1 ROM.
Will report back in a few mins.
Okay so TWRP is installed, it reported no operating system.
I reflashed the Stock rom, all went well as expected, phone still refuses to boot.
I have reflashed TWRP and completed a factory reset. Again no dice, still wont boot.
Any further help would be much appreciated.

There is a ROM called AllianceROM, I've read that it's on of the best for the G920F.
Okay so as promised.
1. Flash Stock 5.1.1 ROM (Phone will not boot after)
2. Flash TWRP with ODIN
3: Reboot into TWRP and mount filesystem via MPT (i had to disable then enable it for my computer to detect it)
4: Copy ROM to phone (As a ZIP)
5: Using TWRP install ZIP
6: Follow Instructions
7: Dalvik / Cache Clear (it asks after the rom is installed)
8: Reboot
9: Wait
10: Wait Some More
11: TADA
Phone has booted and connected to the network, the AllianceROM suggested above will work in very much the same way! same process.
Thats all i did. After a week of gueswork i want to thank the chap who provide me some guidance both here and via PM
Phone is now running and working, i wish i could have stock rom but you cant have it all.
On a side note if you choose to use IMEI Gurus to unlock your phone, i highly suggest you dont, there after sales support are shocking, and they refunded my money even though its not what i wanted, had the provided the help i found here id not have been so stressy with them. There service does work, but they will root your device (which they dont mention in there sales pitch they will trip knox (again not mentioned) and once done you cant actually factory reset the phone with any method. ANd youll be here reading this.
Yes there services work, but guys please make your own informed decisions about there service, would i buy again from them? i doubt it, but needs must and all that.
THanks everyone
This is now resolved. Please do not continue to post on my thread. Your circumstances will not be the same as mine nore are they likley to resolve issues you have, as mine was caused by a very specific problem. Start your own threads dont hijack mine
