I've also been searching for weeks with no luck. But I think there is still hope. We just need to unlock our bootloader. How? Well that's what we need to find out.

Dude. I think we really should find it out because there is so much potential in this phone when it is rooted. Additionally, I think I have found a way in unlocking the bootloader of our device. This may help.

No. I haven't yet. Because the PCs in our office need administrative privileges and I can't install the apps needed. DAMN.

I tried that method a couple of times, but it didn't work. The only solution I could think of is unlocking the boot loader first. After we've unlock it, any method of rooting will work.

I just found solution to root my phone days ago search vroot and download install and root but you need also mtkdroidtools so you can shell root then also install cwm using mtktools go to root backup recovery and press to use boot from phone and done click yes on the first and second no then boot to recovery and done!!!
So it seems I've really put myself into a bad spot, here.
I recently rooted my phone (Verizon S3) using towelroot, which seemed to work exceedingly well, so I decided to try to make a NANDroid backup using ClockworkMod. I installed ROM Manager, set that up, and chose the "restart in Clockwork recovery mode option", which didn't work. I soon realized I forgot to unlock my bootloader so, at the recommendation of a few sites, used EZ-Unlock to try to do that. The app reported that it was successful, so I tried restarting my phone in Clockwork recovery mode again. To my utter horror, my phone did not turn on, and has not turned on since.
When I say that it doesn't turn on, I mean that it gives me no audio, vibrational, or visual feedback, almost like there's no battery in the phone. I've pulled the battery and also attempted to do the fix outlined in a video, but to no avail. (I would post the link if the forum allowed me to. The title of the video is "Unbrick hard bricked Verizon Galaxy S3 running 4.3 Jelly Bean")
Feel free to scold me all you like for my irresponsibility and stupidity, it's probably deserved. Any help will be hugely appreciated, though! Thank you so much!
Edit: I guess I should mention that this is my first time doing this sort of thing to an Android device. However, I do like to think I "know my way around", as they say. (although I guess not enough to avoid messing things up!)

You need to report your post so it can be moved to the Verizon s3 forums where you can get help for your problem.

No problems. This is the forum for the International version and we don't have locked bootloaders so you will have more chance in there than you will here.

Was your phone on android 4.3 before you tried to unlock bootloader? If so, that isn't good.

Do what the guy above suggested. Oh just so you know when you are on 4.3 you can not unlock your bootloader. Only root. Also once on 4.3 you can not downgrade to any earlier firmware versions. You can thank Verizon for that.

If you're referring to "[GUIDE] Debrick your bricked SCH-I535! [BOOTLOADER/HARDBRICK]", I have tried that a few times. I guess I could give it a few more shots if that's my only option.

That's awful. I guess I was looking at a guide for a non-Verzion phone. Thank you for the information, though.
So, if I understand my situation, I guess the question now is: How can I lock my bootloader back up while it's hardbricked, correct?

No. Your only focus is on getting the phone to boot back up. The only method that we have to do so is the bootloader/hardbrick thread by SpryroDazee posted at the top of our Q/A section.

Yes sunshine method is the only way. I was on 6.0 as well, used sunshine got s off bootloader unlocked. Now on 7.1 sunshine is 25 dollars though
Ok, that is good news. I downloaded it last night and tried to see if it would work. It froze up my phone like wouldn't even allow me to shut it down. Is that pretty normal? I actually ended up falling asleep so I didn't get to see what happened.

If I remember correctly after you pay it should work and I can't remember if it shuts off once out if you need to reboot but when it reboots sunshine should automatically open again and tell you it succeeded

You opened up sunshine since then? If it went through it should tell you something like your stuff is done and you don't need the app anymore.

Even I was curious about this... I unlocked bootloader and was in need of the ROM for root.. Was confused and so put my activities on hold...
Now that I see one more device with V1.04, I will resume to root the device

I am currently rooted... With no issues...
Unlock Bootloader (Follow similar steps in RM3)
Install Magisk Manager App
Extract boot.img from the current rom, patch it.. Move it to PC and use fastboot to install the same..
you will be rooted..
BTW, had issues with EdXposed Module in Magisk.. Advise you to stay away from Xposed modules..

I wouldn't mess around at all with your rm3s. We have no way of recovering properly because we have no unbrick tool. Leave it as is. I have a non booting rm3sz that is only 3 days old. Its a $500 paperweight at this point? Might just sell it for parts.

Agreed... I will not mess up with the device if it already rooted... Given that we do not have the unbrick tool.. I am wondering why we would need to go back to stock with locked bootloader? When returning the device to nubia for support? Ignore it as they will be able to identify if the device was unlocked or rooted... So waste of efforts..

Hello good to all,
It turns out that I have the device with a hard brick and I can't find a solution to repair it, I've been looking for a similar thread, but nothing. It won't let me in, it's not fastboot, not in recovery or anything, and if I turn it on normally I get: The current image have been destroyed...
How I got to this situation, was after rooting the device with a tutorial here, which worked perfectly for me. It was later when I had the great idea of closing the bootloader with the rooted device, and since then it gives me this error.

1)Just go to service center , if phone is in warranty , they will just flash the device with STOCK ROM using msm tool (best )
2)however they might even replace motherboard for no reason but that will also fix the device (time taking)
3) last option is to use paid msm flashing services costs from 5to 10$ USD , you can find them by Google search (risky)
I had about the same problems, my GT Neo 2 does not load fastboot further. The cyclical startup process is repeated.
Stupidly, I understand now, I decided to wipe data in TWRP recovery
This is what it looks like - youtube
I tried to install custom recovery from this topic, all stages passed without problems, but at the end after rebooting fastboot loops
Have you solved this problem, if so, in what way?
udp
installing this method
but root I couldn't get here
I tried to unlock twrp using the magic installation, but the problem described above appeared
I think I have the same problem as others. Realme appears and restarts continuously. It does not go into fastboot because the boot loader is blocked. What can I do?
