HELP! bricked my S3? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

Hello I just signed up because I'm panicking, I just tried to root my s3 and it is completely unresponsive now. It is just off like the battery is bone dead cant get into download or anything. I was following this youtube video up until about 2:25 and it never rebooted, just stayed blank. I've tried unplugging the battery and doing volume down home and pwr button and it does nothing. Is it toast or salvageable? I don't understand what I could have done wrong following the video exactly...
The video is the second one that comes up on Youtube if you search "how to root gs3 verizon" (I can't post links yet because I'm a noob)
I've looked up how to unbrick but all require you to ut it in download mode, I cant even get there...
Thanks for any help you guys have!
I posted this on s3 forums too trying to get help asap ;(

Which youtube video were you following?
Not all root methods apply to all variants of s3's, there should always be caution to this. You can easily brick your device if you used the international root method or such.

What version were you? This seems to only work for early stage of the s3 with 4.0.4

It had 4.1.2 just got it. it says 4.1.2 / 4.1.1 in the vid title so i figured that was applicable.

Oh well I'm not really sure what video your talking about then since I got different results, might try giving me the exact name and uploader of the video you used to root.

So, you get nothing when you try to turn on your phone? When you plug it into your computer or the wall does it charge? Did Odin say reset or failed or anything like that?

Stupid question: Have you pulled the battery?
Did you accidentally place the file in the Bootloader or Phone section of Odin? If so then that would surly brick you phone.

Sounds like your only option is to purchase the JTAG service from someone. Good luck.

So I ended up taking the battery out for like half hour plugged it back in with the phone plugged in and got downloader back. I followed how to un-brick and I think I'm good now. Phew.... I don't know if I want to try this again. That was like 4+ hours of trying to get the download screen to come back. I'll stick with a stock phone screw that.

Word of advice don't go to YouTube go here, rootwiki or any sites that gives you proper directions for rooting. I have rooted my phone seven months ago and never had problems with the original method when I had ICS nor the new method for jellybean.

Thanks I'll follow the root guide next time. Maybe I'll try this weekend again. Will update.

Be sure to follow this one

Hard Bricked Samsung Galaxy S 4G...Please help..

Hi, everyone, I've recently HARD BRICKED my Samsung Galaxy MODEL: T959V with T-mobile.
First off, I got pattern locked on my phone, yea I know I'm an idiot, LOL. Next I totally forgot my gmail password so I could not log back into my phone.
So then I next decided to flash back to stock with odin 1.7 and T959UVJFD. tar file from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1047087.
As a result, my phone would boot to the loading screen with the dashed circle and a battery display in the background and thus would not finish booting all the way.
So I figured I would do more research and found that people would try flashing with the Eugene_2E_JK2_Froyo from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...833024&page=49 and after flash back to stock.
After I flashed with the Eugene rom this was when the phone completely died and would not turn on. I tried the take out the battery, holding down and up volume button and plugging into computer method but the computer would not detect it anymore.
Now I don't know what to do. I realized I was flashing with the Galaxy Vibrant kernels with Odin and now, it won't turn on anymore and can't boot into download mode. It is also not being detected my computer when I plug it in. I'ts a blank screen.
Please help.. Thanks, and appreciate it.

There's a good handful of people on XDA (maybe more) who are capable of doing what I mentioned to you. You'll have to look for them though. I'm sure they charge a decent fee as well.

[Q] Random Reboots?

Hello. I recently purchased a SIII from eBay and got it activated today. The first time they booted it up at the Verizon store I noticed what I thought was an unlock icon towards the bottom of the screen (which I am no longer seeing).
Once the phone was activated it performed a system update to the latest OS release. Now that I have got the phone home it keeps randomly rebooting and then it will get stuck in a boot loop. I pull the battery, it will boot as normal, and then it will randomly reboot again. I have performed a factory reset/data wipe but that did not help.
I did search a bit on here but didn't see anything similar to what I'm experiencing. Any ideas on what my issue is? Thanks in advance for your help.

Have to agree. Sure there might be a couple people that have had problems, but the overwhelming majority of people are quite pleased with their handsets.
Sounds like the phone was rooted. If it had a custom rom and you took the ota verizon update, that could cause problems.
Edit. Wrong link.

If you want to stay on stock rom, follow instructions on section #6.

Thanks for the info. I really appreciate it. I followed step #6 from the link you provided and the phone has been up for over an hour without rebooting. So far so good!
Well I spoke to soon. It just rebooted again. I'm starting to think that it must be hardware issue. I guess I should go back to the seller to see if they'll take the phone back..... :-/
I just loaded the latest OTA and it seemed to make the random reboots more frequent.
When you say "loaded" are you just flashing a stock ROM or did you Odin back to stock?

I did the ODIN back to stock (using the ROM that was in step #6 of the above link). After that booted the phone up and it indicated there was an OTA available. I downloaded that (about 30 Mb); performed the update; and then the phone seemed to start the random reboots more frequently.

I didn't mean that everybody has problems when I said a lot and maybe it isn't "a lot" but I have seen numerous people posting on here about there problems whether its random reboots or screen flashing/flickering or w/e it may be and not just here I know a few people with this phone (my wife, father, brother, mother in law, and myself.) And I have had 2 problems with this phone, random reboots and WiFi never wants to connect and my wife has the sim card issue, my dads phone has problems with screen and WiFi, idk what the deal is. That's 3 phones out of 5 that has problems and idk if the sim card issue even counts but still.
I'm not saying this is a bad phone or anything, other than these issues it has been a great phone the best phone I have ever owned.

Nope, the JTAG is your only choice at this point. It sucks, but bet you won't make that mistake again.

On ebay you can find a usb dongle that force your phone in download mode.. it's about 1or 2 $$.
Never uswd with s3 but with s1 and s2 was perfect.

It won't work for his problem. His phone doesn't have download mode anymore. The international ROM overwrites that part. JTAG is the only option.

I had my phone in a similar situation with not download mode via "buttons" and nothing to do except sending..

Dongle works by hardware and not software..
But, anyway I would spend 2$ instead of 60 to try..

It depends which gsm ROM if it's like a T-Mobile ROM I think it's savable, but international and it's done. There's a huge difference between the two.

No I've always read what I'm flashing so no need, but the download mode partition is overwritten by the ROM so there's nothing for the dongle to force him into. Also, this problem of people flashing the wrong ROM pops up all the time. The last guy I helped bought the single, wasted a week and when it didn't work sent his phone in.

HTC One X won't boot / turn on after flashing Kernel.

I was on Evita Sense 5 Port ROM and flashed ElementalX 6
I went with the default options in aroma, but at 1.7ghz and selected a lower voltage (one above) the default option.
And now my phone wont turn on.
WHen I charge it ,theres no red light that comes on.
I've tried holding down the buttons
I've already posted in the ROm thread..
But I dont want to fill it all up about my issues you know..and I feel like I'd get much better help here if it has its own thread.
I got an advice about letting it sit plugged in for a while until the light comes on, which is what Im doing now...

I bricked mine mucking about with partitions. Got a new one from Telstra.
If you can't get it to start neither can AT&T, so no-one will be able to see if it's unlocked/rooted.
Some will say it's dishonest, but you could just go and take it to them and say 'it won't turn on'. Not really a lie is it?

There is no fix because there's no way to reach the phone to reflash the messed up partition table without the proper tools (jtag).

Thank you very much! It worked!!!
I just decided to send mine into HTC since their warranty still covered it, its already being sent back and it only took literally two weeks. Not sure if they just fixed the same phone or sending me a new one but they handled it extremely fast and the customer support was great.

[Q] ERI/IMEI/Google Play Issues after Flash

I am a Crack Flasher. I've been doing it since the Fascinate. Very experienced. I recently jacked up my phone which obscured my ERI/IMEI/Google Play connection. I was able to manually re-program the IMEI using QPST....... Before, I re-flashed stock MF1. I took it to Verizon and they were skeptical and unhelpful. They said it seemed as if I altered the OS. They had no proof and wouldn't honor the warranty. Play wont work unless a previous OS (before MF1) is installed(?). I get Connection Error. I TRIED EVERYTHING!
I followed the flash to a T.
Not sure which Rom is the culprit.
maybe TK 2.5
ERI Fix????????

Before you go accusing roms of causing your problems, maybe you should read up on how people actually lose their imei and eri in the first place. A simple search for "imei" or "eri" would've accomplished this.
If you did that, you would have been directed to a plethora of threads describing that the s3 can drop their imei randomly even without a flash being a culprit.
Next time you start flashing anything, read up on the device stickies so you know what you're doing and how to fix most problems that come up.
Sorry for the long post, I just can't stand it when people bash a rom for no reason. It wasn't that roms fault for this issue.

Lol!!!! Glad to hear. I did find your posts useful. I'm still exploring and learning a certain "unmentionable" program those posts pointed me towards. I really appreciate the help! It's not back yet, but I'll figure the program out quickly. A lot of info on it out there.

There's A LOT of this happening with our phones according to the forums this last 2 months.....I'm still out ERI and Play only works on ICS.....no JB roms. Very strange.....but, I love a challenge and these forums and all of the amazing info I'm finding thanks to all the intelligent folk. Verizon is out as far as a replacement. They said I must have tampered with it....which, I did. Whats the status of your ERI/IMEI info? Hopefully solved soon.....I'm driving my wife nuts trying to fix it.

How'd you guys fix the eri? I used QPST for the IMEI but now my debugging won't activate, whether on stock or an AOSP. I need it to.use another program that I can't mention.

Have you tried downgrading your modem before trying revskills? When I used the repair utility it wouldn't connect my phone until I downgraded my modem. Just a thought.

I'm in the same boat somewhat. My play store only works on certain roms now and I still can't figure out why.
