So you flashed the EFS partition of an international S3 to your Canadian S4 ... that was a very bad idea.
Ok, hope you got it now.
Check if it's really hard-bricked, or maybe only soft-bricked:
Can you boot into download mode (holding Volume DONW + HOME + POWER keys)?
Can you boot into recovery mode (holding Volume UP + HOME + POWER keys)?
If one of this still works, you have a good chance to repair it yourself.
If both don't work any more, your chances will be significantly worse.
Please check the AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 > Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting Frequently Asked Questions.
If you don't find the needed answers there, post your question in the AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 > Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting Stupid Questions Thread - No question too stupid! thread.
Good luck !
P.S.: If you get it fixed, please do a complete backup (including EFS partiton) before flashing anything else.
thank you for your quick answer.I does'nt boot into recovery or download mode.Does'nt charge the battery and it'nt recognized by the computer when I connect it whit the usb cable.It's just completly dead.And you are right,it was a bad ideea to flash it with the GS3 efs backup.

You may ask in the q&a thread I provided in my previous post. But I don't have much hope.
Most likely you have to replace the mainboard ... by a service center.

Hi,
I have a sgs2 that only boots into download mode. I have photos and music on the internal SD card that I'm afraid will get deleted if I flash stock using Odin. I searched the forum but couldn't find a guide on how to recover files in download mode.
Device information:
I9100
Unlocked (no contract)
No external SD
Rooted
Slimkat build 5
Only boots if connected to a charging cable
I think there's a possibility that it's a hardware issue since I didn't download anything that modifies the recovery and it was working fine for a couple months on slimkat before it suddenly stopped booting.

I was using CM11 on my Galaxy S Advance for a few months, today I restarted my phone and it was showing the CM11 Boot Animation normally, then it showed up the lockscreen and then turned off instantly showing the CM11 Boot Animation again. I did a factory reset with my CWM, everything got fine, then I restarted my phone again and it was in that kind of bootloop again. Can someone help me? (I can't reinstall CM11 because when I plug my USB cable in my phone, Windows doesn't detect it, and I can't put CM11 ZIPs in my phone)
Hi,
You don't have a nandroid backup from CWM you can restore? Having a good backup kept on the phone is always essential in this hobby. No cm rom zip either that you can install from on the phone? Without either, you may need to Odin flash stock to your device. But for other advice, or help with any of my suggestions, you can ask here...

I would say: Find the kid and let it enter the password.
Interesting ... I thought that in retail/demo mode, you can't set a pin/password lock.
Best place to ask is the Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum.
if i'll find the kid he will be in no shape of telling me the password (or another words )
solved the case, forgot the root part lol
did factory reset with twrp and everything back to normal
tnx anyway

The phone shows " Firmware upgrade issue encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again". I cant go to recovery mode ie. vol up+home+power. THings I have tried:
1. with Kies the device isnt recognised. I have updated the driver as well.
2. with odin every thing fails... flashing "all samsung recovery.tar", flashing stock jelly bean, flashing .pit file
I have googled for days and tried many things but isnt working. Need help

Is there any modified recovery I can flash form ODIN/Heimdall and that will boot into itself by default? Device is I9300.
Short version of problem: Stuck in bootloop, no way to enter recovery. Flashing stock ROM = still bootloop.
Long: After downgrading BlissPop 5.1.1 to an earlier version I got into a bootloop (due to not wiping everything that I should have properly).
Was rooted and had CWM recovery.
Flashed stock ROM 4.3 (NEE-I9300XXEMG4-20130809155048). But now I have bootloop with this ROM instead. Flashed again, same thing. Flashed an earlier version. Also flashed the original 4.0.4. Waited 10 minutes more with every bootloop, pulled battery.
Can't enter recovery to wipe due to power switch beeing physically scraped off from the logic board. Cell phone repair guy could not solder on a new power switch, nor was he able to put electrical current into it by a cable. So repairing is out of the question.
Found some info about how to enter download mode and from there get into recovery by pressing button combination, this does not work for me.
I can get into download mode by using USB JIg. I can also start the device by inserting it and removing after 1-2 seconds.
Is there an alternative way to perform a wipe? How do I get out of this mess?
Doesn't ODIN performed a wipe when flashing stock ROM?
How do I take Blisspop and make it flashable from ODIN?
Hi there,
You must ask in the dedicated forum for this device, but first you must see what exactly model of S3:
Here is general forum for Q&A dedicated to Galaxy S3 I9300/9305:
> Samsung Galaxy S III I9300, I9305 > Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
Or ask directly in this thread: [HELP THREAD] Galaxy S3 Ask any question.
Good luck
