Need help freaking out a little. Soft brick? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

Ok so I was trying to root my S3 and something went wrong. I was on the first step. I had just got done transferring the super user package, then went to flash the first package. It went gave me a green box in Odin then nothing from the phone. It made the disconnect sound and then Odin wouldn't recognize it. The phone will not turn on at all. When I plug it into the computer it beeps twice real fast. Any ideas.

No it's not going into download mode. It won't power on. The computer only makes a sound when it plugs in.

what did you do?

Well when I was on step two and went to flash that file I didn't realize my file said. .tar.tar instead of .tar.md5
But you said me by letting me know I can send it out to be fixed.

well I hope you get things resolved. I guess you'll be a bit more careful in the future. If you do finally get things up and running you'll have a blast with all that is out there for your phone. but be warned, this stuff is addicting

Just finished reading another thread saying the qhsusb means hard brick sorry to hear it.

help with my skyrocket

Hi i am new to this forum and i want you guys to help me with my skyrocket i accidently flashed a custom ROM to my skyrocket but it wast for a infuse 4g and now it doesnt turn on and doesnt even go to recovery and download. Is there any way to unbrick it.
thanks in advance
Probably hardbricked. Can you get into download mode?
Edit: scratch that question about download mode....she's hosed. For 50 bucks there is a guy who can fix it. You have to send him your phone though

Oh... prepare for the flaming!
I'm sorry. There's nothing you can do. Is it hard or soft bricked?
and here is the flaming
Thx for the reply i was searching information about it and some people was able to put it in download mode using a jig do you guys that might work?

Bricking a phone really sucks, and the SR appears to be particularly unforgiving.
Jtag may be the only answer right now (other solutions like qpst haven't panned out, yet)...or warranty if possible, of course...just saying...

The jig wont work, I promise you. Flashing a rom for another device is the best possible way to hard brick. Sorry to be so pessimistic but this is the truth.
Jtag service just recently became available for the sr--for a reasonable fee they can restore it. Google it!

That sucks dude, but I really wanna know how in the hell that could even happen? Why are you looking in the infuse 4g forum for Roms if you have a skyrocket? But, if jig doesn't work you have to send it to that fella and he will fix it for 40 or 50 bucks. Good luck and don't flash things that aren't for the skyrocket
My guess its he upgraded from an infuse and restored an old nandroid
i'm dying to know how out actually happed... Good luck to you though

Was that i downloaded the sky ics rom for my skyrocket but i forgot i put it on the same folder as the infuse one and the name of the rom is almost the same as the ics rom that i had for my infuse and i accidently flash it and now is dead X_X

[Q] Help! Bootloader Bricked GS3!

Right after I flashed PACman rom, I realized that I forgot to unlock the bootloader. Now when I turn on my device I get this message "System software not authorized by Verizon Wireless has been found on your phone. Please turn off your phone and go to the nearest Verizon Wireless store for help." How do I get out of this?

Debrick Hard Bricked S3 VZW

This pic shows step-by-step debrick method.
Or you could just use one of our two debrick methods posted in the Q/A section. One of which is stickied at the top and is posted by SpyroDazee.

Not bs, just duplicated information, it's fine to post it because someone else might find it useful. We never said it was wrong to post it.

Ahhh foook!! *228

Well I was having bad reception and figured I'd give the ol *228 a go. That apparently was a very bad idea as I'm reading. I'm stuck in 3G mode, everything I'm reading says get a new sim, but hoping maybe someone discovered another way that im not finding? If not off to verizon bright and early!
Which version of Android are you on? The more specific the better.

Glad that's all taken care of. For the future, if you want to update your PRL, pull the sim card for about 30 seconds. On a fresh boot, it will auto update if there is a newer PRL version available.
