I tried to root it and I have tried everything but it will not turn on at all. What should I do?
does it vibrate?
No. It won't do anything. I was trying to root it and everything went through fine according to my computer but the phone never turned back on. I tried recovery mode and download mode and it will not do anything.

Sounds like you flashed the k0nane GB kernel over an ICS rom. Search around, many people have done this and posted their issue. In short, you need to pull the battery, go back to download mode and either flash stock through ODIN or flash CWM through odin. If you choose the CWM route, all you need to do then is restore a nandroid or flash whatever rom you like. Or there's stock...:crying:
Well here's the thing. I flashed a file called jw4 using Odin. I think it was for the wrong galaxy s. I cannot get it into download mode or any mode. It will not turn on. I took the battery out I tried all of the tricks I could find online. I have rooted like 10 HTC devices and never had this happen.

unfortunately, if you cant get to download mode or get any screen/vibration activity, it's a hard brick and indeed requires a JTAG. its a little cheaper here http://fixmybrick.biz/htc-jtag-c-2/htc-one-s-jtag-repair-service-p-2.html but i cant endorse it because I've never used it... I've only (fortunately) softbricked my phone, though I've had some close calls

Was your battery low when you did this?
Have you tried pulling the battery for a few minutes?
I tried all option no luck... Ordered USB jig to see if that helps... other option is to get bin file and flash using QPST... I think someone who knows and are expert need to extract the bin file from the phone using QPST.
Jig won't work. I'm guessing you mucked something up in Odin.

If anyone knows how to get the device recognized as a COM port, I can take a shot at it. Got real familiar with QPST when I flashed an Epic over to Virgin Mobile.

Download mode does, yes, but you can't read or write from QPST in it. You get a "Phone did not answer/respond/whatever" error back.
What I would say needs to be figured out first is how to get a non-brick and a bricked one recognized as a COM port. Really annoying, but QPST doesn't work otherwise...
Sorry for the question, but what exactly is QPST? I've never heard of that before.

Qualcomm Product Support Tools. It's a program used by Qualcomm to program Qualcomm chips in phones. Can flash/backup software, program the phone's service, check/change EEPROM settings, EFS settings, etc. It's free software, but I do NOT recommend looking through it and tweaking things if you don't know what you're doing... Quite a bit in there that's really easy to mess up.
SOLVED!
My device is completely stock, I only rooted the skyrocket.
I really wanted to have the fancy rotation animation for whenever you change the orientation of the phone. To do that, the instructions were to replace two (.so) files in
/system/lib
with two provided from the OP in the thread. When I used ES File Explorer to replace the files, right when I pasted the files the device froze. Naturally I tried soft rebooting and that worked fine. What didn't work fine was trying to get my device to boot back up...
When I press the power button to turn the device on, the first splash screen with the non-glowing Samsung logo showed up normally. My phone then gets stuck on the glowing Samsung logo. It never reaches the rethink possible At&t boot animation. So I thought, a factory reset should do the trick.
I went into the recovery menu and factory reset the phone/ deleted all user data. I tried booting the phone again and it still gets stuck at the glowing Samsung logo.
Help? Do I need to send the device in? Am I covered by the warranty? (I bought it in early December 2011)

Works fine but i connect my phone to my comp for backing up files and flashing you know that kinda stuff. I wonder what could if caused it. I remember it started when I was using fb app and it suddenly just shut off and wouldnt come on. When I tried to charge it because it seem like it was dead it would keep vibrating over and over again just like boot looping. Even now if phone is off and I connect the charger it won't show the battery meter but automatically turn it self on. So I think I'll have to send it to att warranty.

Hi, I have a Verizon Samsung Galaxy S3 running CyanogenMod 10.1.2. Today I tried flashing the Ninphetamine kernel on my device, and after a successful flash in recovery (I have TWRP), I rebooted my device but it wouldn't turn on. I then tried booting into recovery. Didn't work. I then tried to boot in download mode. Didn't work. Is my device bricked, or is there any other way to get into download mode other than using the Vol. Down, Home, and Lock buttons? Thanks in advance.
The magic 8 ball says google "jtag".
Hopefully I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure that's not a Verizon kernel and that leads to a hard brick.

Yet ) that's how it got bricked. I've been finally able to go into download mode and Odin sees it on my pc but it reboots after 10 seconds or so. any idea about this?
Okay its gonna sound dumb but give your phone some time to charge. Next look in the infuse xda thread and get the heimdall one click back remedy .... For some reason Odin is great but the heimdall is more stable. Go to download mode and just flash back to stock.
Look for qkster thread for the heimdall and instruction.
Good info on getting to 4.2 or three is go to scott.harts thread and read the op for the proper instructions on working up because u have to go to rooted froyo the flash to GB then flash to ICS then finally to the jellybean ... I know there are short cuts but u can end up with headaches I prolly seen them all
PS. Make sure u turn off all antivirus software on PC it can screw up flashing process
