[HELP] My galaxy s3 verizon was dead - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

Hi everyone,
my phone had some errors so that I rooted it and installed rom. But maybe I installed an rom which is not supported to my phone.
During installation time, everything was fine, and when installation was end, I just chose reboot.
But now I cannot turn on it, cannot go to restore or download mode and cannot connect to my computer.
When I plug it to my computer, I get a warning for installing usb driver(QHSUSB_DLOAD) but it is not installed.
I searched so much by google and I got a solution(using jig), but I am not sure about it.
If there is anyone who can help me, please post it here.
Thank you.

You flashed a ROM not made for your version of the S3. You need a JTag

Umm there is a way to to unbrick is phone WITHOUT jtag. I know because I used it.SD Card Debricking method. The thread creator took the time to use a method created for the Sprint variant of this phone got it to work on our phones. If done right it can take 15 minutes to 1 hour.

Thank for your help. I will try and will tell you result soon.

Instead of using the sprint debrick file use the Verizon debrick file located in the link I provided.

I have read the guide you provide and there is a requirement: a 16GB SD (preferably a Class 10). But I have a 8GB sd, class 4.
Can I use this sd or buy another one?
Thanks.

No it has to have the same amount of storage as the internal storage so 16GB microSD cards are a must. The debug files contains the files needed to access both download and recovery mode. Luckily those class 10 sd cards are usually on sale.

Goldcard risks?

About to get the Inspire and get right on with rooting, although I've been reading and not understanding how this goldcard works completely. I guess my concern is the errors some users are getting? Where they need to use another HTC device to get the right cid code or something? I dont have another HTC device, can I actually lock my device out? Please advise as I'll risk rooting only so far. Thanks, maybe I'm just blowing this out of proportion.
if you follow the instructions in the hack kit, you shouldn't have any issues. this was my first experience with creating a gold card and it went smoothly. just be patient and persistent.
I am also about to buy the Inspire. So can we use the bundled SD card for the gold card? or do we have to have a spare card for emergency restore and stuff?
You can use the card it comes with.

Good question as I was going to use a spare one. I might as well use the one it came with. I'm about to begin. whats the worst that can happen?

I will probably keep a spare one around. Would you recommend that?

use whatever works. just keep in mind you can't use the goldcard.img file you get from the email on any card other than the one you got the serial number from. I bought a 16 GB card to use with my phone anyway, so I used the 8 GB it came with and put it in a drawer in case I ever need it again.

Oh okay. I have 1 8GB with me right now and I will get the one with Inspire. So is 8GB enough for the gold card so that I will keep it for .img file?
I will keep the spare in my phone.
Sorry I am a total noob in this. I come from iPod family
It will work with a 2 GB card minimum from what I read.
what does that mean? i have a 8 gig myself so just process for a goldcard.img? then save then use if needed?

The goldcard was only necessary to get past the very first stage of rooting. A goldcard is used to force the device into accepting a ROM that was not designed for the particular device (in the case of Inspire, you must install a DesireHD ROM to be able to continue with the rooting process).
Once you're rooted, the rooting process sets SuperCID in hardware so a gold card is no longer needed, even if you want to install a ROM not designated for your device.
In short, use your 16GB card just as you normally would (maybe save the 4G in case you ever need to root a different device).
Thank you for your fast reply.,
i understand the idea behind the goldcard beter now,.

[Q] how to install micro sd card for lg optimus one

Hi,
I have bought a new sandisk micro sd card (16GB). Could you please tell me how to install it.
I guess it is not as straight forward as copying the files from the old sd card into the new one, as apps are installed in the old one.. My old sd card is the stock card which I got with the phone.
Also could you please direct me how to upgrade my OS. I am still on android 2.2. I tried following the directions given in the LG homepage but the update software just does no install on my laptop (Windows 7). Also PC suite also does not work properly on Windows 7 and I am not even being able to take backup. Please help.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Chan

Hi Souron,
Thanks for the answer. My phone is not rooted and I don't want to do that presently. So simply copying all the files (inlcuding .android) into the new sd card will work?

Boot into recovery and use the options there to partition & format your SD card from your phone.
And if you paid $50 for 16GB card, you got ripped off.

Yes, this is the way :good:
Just learned I could partition my SD and restore it through CWM. Thanks to the OP and first reply.
It said that can't mount sdcard.can't read sdcard
Put the SD card in your computer, and use this to format it.

[Q] Galaxy S3 Cannot move apps to SD card, Please help!

Not all apps can be moved to the SD Card.
To do so you will need to partition your SD Card and use Link2SD or any other App2SD script.

I want to use all of the 32GB SD card for apps, media, etc storage.
I have spent all night parting my SD card using minitool partition wizard prof. edition.
I followed the instructions but the link2sd app and the other app2sd apps will not work or they stop working.
Its as if my Galaxy 3 is programmed to work against it.
Can someone tell me step by step what I need to do, or link me to a video or article?

GS3 or G3. What I did was, partitioned my SD card from recovery. Of course I had root access. Downloaded link2sd. Created mount script. Restart. Then linked as many apps I could. I think I missed some insignificant steps.
Hi, please take note I'm a noob, still learning, don't no if this will help, I have rooted a HTC desire and last night rooted my galaxy S3 , the desire has a very small internal memory, so to force more space I moved apps to my 16gb micro chip just by using titanium back up, last night on my S3 I moved 34 apps to sd card by the same process.
Don't really know if this is correct but all is still working fine

How to install apps in external SD Card

Hi All,
I've two tablets and the internal free space in getting lower, I need to install apps directly on their external sd cards. How is it possible? All the "2SD" apps don't work.
Thank you all in advance :good:

You can't unless you root the tablet and use non standard software.

Really...... I was under the impression that it could not be done at all.
Please tell how as I would like to know also.
Thanks.

didnt figure this out but u can use titanium and move those on the device to leave more space for other installations.
If you are rooted and on a stock ROM or ROM not using JB 4.2 (Google changed the file structure again in JB 4.2), you may be abe to use zedomax's script that swaps the internal and external SD cards. Although it's long, I would suggest reading through the entire thread as glitches with the stock ROM update to JB 4.1.2 and work arounds are addressed later in the thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1857391&page=1
I'm interested in this as well. I read a post on something called a directory bind...??? I guess that moves app data to the SD card. I currently have just over 9 gig of space left to fill (16gig model). Just put in a class 10 32gb card in last night to find out that app2sd does not work...
I read today that link2sd might work. Haven't gotten a chance to try it yet though.

I tried link2sd and the other one mentioned in this thread with no luck.
I don't really want to do the the card swap method.
So........... if anyone has another way to store apps on a mico sdhc card that truly works, I'm in.
Found app that truly works
I finally found an app that truly transfers your app data to your "extSdCard" but you do need to have root.
The app is called "Directoryblind" and can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1410262 and the most current file is DirectoryBind_0.2.0o.apk
The app has been out since 12-2011 with many updates since its release.
So I'm posting it on this Note 10.1 section as I have never seen it talked about in this section and I thought it may help someone else find this app.
Again it truly does work.
