Hey all, I've recently hard bricked my I8682. I searched the internet to find an how to for unbricking, all of these methods contained a Jig/Jtag.
Now, I searched the forums of XDA, and found something about bootloader files on SD-Card for the Note3 and S3,
Can any of you provide me these files? So maybe I can try to boot my device via SD-Card boot. After that work my way around download mode,
Flash stock firmware back via Kies...
Thanks in advance!

I tried flashing 10.2 onto my old GS3 this afternoon, and aparently my bootloader was unlocked incorrectly, so now I need to try again, only I can't find my Samsung Driver files, and the link is broken off of the original post I used(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762709). If anyone could direct me to a mirror that would be great. Thanks in advance.
Alright guys so here is the whole story with how I "Soft bricked my GS3 I535 Verizon version 4.4.2
I rooted my phone with the application "Kingo Root". It worked flawlessly my phone was rooted and i was able to install SuperSU and rootchecker and a whole bunch of other great root only apps. After I realized how great rooting was I decided I wanted to change my ROM to cyanogen since that what most people seem to prefer for a rooted phone. I downloaded an earlier version of EZ UNLOCK app to unlock the bootloader to that I could access the bootloader to flash a new ROM. After I used the EZ UNLOCK and turned off my phone to get into the recovery IT WAS HARD BRICKED . Luckily though I found this thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2581166 Which worked like a charm and had my device up and running again but was dependent on the new Ext SD card to boot up. When I got to the step where I was supposed to recover the Stock bootloader onto the device it seemed to work. I input the code in the Terminal that the instructions said to do with the debrick.bin file. (My file was actually a debrick.img disck image file) But I didnt think it mattered too much. After inputing the code and waiting for it to finish the process I tried to reboot to see if it would boot off of internal memory. Now it is stuck in a boot up loop AKA soft bricked i supppose. I cannot get into recovery as it is locked because of verizon stuff still.
At this point I have backups of everything I REALLY want to keep so If I can get to factory defaults even, that would absolutely fine.
PLEASE PLEASE HELP!
I apologize for the lengthy story but I feel the more info i give the easier it is for you to help.

Hello,
Welcome to XDA.
Can you still boot to recovery? If so you can try the normal wipes in recovery and reboot, you can restore a nandroid backup if you ever made one, you can download another custom ROM for your model and try flashing it.
If none of that works and you can boot to download mode, you can flash the stock firmware, most Samsung firmwares are available at Sammobile.com and at samsung-updates.com, you will have to use your exact model number(located behind the battery), get the firmware for your exact model, it doesn't have to be 4.1.2, any firmware version will work as long as it is for your exact model number, it cannot be for another model number. If you want to root after restoring the stock firmware then you need to check if the firmware you find is rootable before you flash it, some are not rootable depending on your device.
When I search your model number on XDA, it comes up that your device is compatible with the T-Mobile custom ROMs, see if you can find one for download that doesn't have a dead link and flash it through recovery if you can get to recovery, dont forget ot get the right gapps to go with the ROM you find if you decide to go that route. The ROMs can be found in the forum linked below.

i looked through the sites and i found out one of my friends goes here so he fixed it for me
I have a Samsung Galaxy s6 G920A and I Tried to downgrade to 5.1.1 firmware. After flashing with odin it gets stuck at the Samsung boot screen. It will not enter recovery. I can only enter odin mode. I can only assume that marshmallow has locked in the bootloader so it cannot be downgraded. I recently found out you can unlock it but I do not have a way to as long as I cannot boot the phone. The only thing I can think of is to get a flashable, threw odin for the marshmallow firmware but I cannot find it online anywhere. If there is anyone who knows how to make one or has one already that can be uploaded, I would love to fix my softbricked phone.

Im new here, this is my first post.. I messed up and tried to unlock the bootloader with safestrap and now its hard bricked, not responding in anyway. i need help please!!! its a Galaxy S5 SM-S903VL for Total Wireless, which is part of the verizon network. It came original with Marshmallow 6.0.1. i have tried a few different things. for 1, in my windows 7 device manager, it shows QHSUSB_BULK with a yellow ! so im thinking that means i dont have the right drivers installed? i also have tried a g900v debrick image flashed to my micro usb using win32disk imager, i was hoping that would work since g900v is the verizon model but its still unresponsive. ive spent hours looking for the answer. thanks for any help!
