[Q] Bricked after using Mobile odin - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

Bought mobile odin, did the check md5 option then next then I know screen is black and phone is unresponsive.
Computer does recognize the phone because it makes noise when I plug it in.
Cant get into recovery or download mode.

Is battery dead ? pull battery , let sit for 5 min. then plug into wall to charge for 30-60 min and try to turn on.

Battery was at 70% when this happened. It does not show battery charing animation

Nothing

Won't hurt to try this unbrick method for people that have flashed an international rom on their VZW GSIII.

Thank you! This looks promising.

Good luck! If you need help with anything, here is nconfer13's thread. nconfer13, Cnexus, and edfunkycold are the main three "in the know" if you get stuck.

That worked! !!

Noob question

I'm new to Samsung and was wondering how to tell if your bootloader is unlocked? Also what do you hold down to get into it? On my HTC rezound all you did was hold power and volume down.
Thanks in advance!
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Galaxy SIII's bootloader is locked until you unlock it. And I don't know what you mean "get into it" The way I understand is that the bootloader is just a script that runs when you turn your phone on.
Yeah I ran the script and just wanted to verify it was successful.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
I'm pretty sure he's talking about bootloader mode. But I honestly don't know if our phone has that or not. Anyway. You should download an app from the play store called EZ Unlock. It takes like a nanosecond to unlock your bootloader (literally). Once you do that you should be able to flash non kexec kernels. Like Scotts CleanKernel.

Verizon SIII Repair

My friend was flashing his phone and flashed an image for the wrong model.
Does anyone know if the boot loader can be flashed via an SD Card on a verizon phone such as mentioned in the documentation floating around for the I9300?
Thanks,
Kenny

It doesn't do anything just sits there with a solid red led when I connect the charger. No display or response to button combinations. So it's bricked as hard as can be lol
Not sure of the rom off hand.
Maybe Odin back to stock?

Yup. You need a jtag service. They usually run 50 to 60 bucks. That's pretty much your only option.

Did the same exact thing to my phone. GNAJtag(or play dumb with Verizon)

Just my two cents, don't play dumb, own up and pony up the cash to get it fixed.

Verizon warranty? Sent phone.

So I bricked my phone and called Verizon they sent me another one and I'm sending the bricked phone back. Will they know that it was bricked and charge me or will they think it was a defective device? Anyone know?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
They will probably know but I'm sure they are use to it. They didn't charge me when I bricked mine.

I managed to do the same thing. But I was having actual hardware issues well. Got back to stock using a debrick image.
Found it on a video off of YouTube.
This is the video. My phone, the power button would randomly be "pressed" when I wasnt touching it. Could not stay in download mode for more than a few seconds and phone would not boot after used mobile odin to flash stock. I tried to flash in odin on pc while it was in recovery for a brief few seconds, this really screwed it. Used the debrick image and then was able to get it to stay in download mode. Flash stock rom. Back to stock and ready to be sent back to verizon tomorrow!!
