[Completed] How to Unbrick Sprint Galaxy s3??? /Make device visible???? - XDA Assist

I accidentally deleted the root to my s3 and left it unrooted, im not too sure what else I accidentally deleted but I've been trying to reroot it with it's stock firmware... But its extra hard since my computer detects the device but refuses to connect with it and does not let me interact with it at all (open internal storage). When I start it up, it only shows the SAMSUNG screen and then the Samsung Galaxy S3 screen and then just stays there.... I tried rerooting it using Odin3 but the connection from the phone to the computer failed so now my phone is stuck on the screen where it says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." So i downloaded Kies but again, I cant access the device through computer so Kies says, "Device not responding. To resolve issue, reboot the device." Please Help!!!

As this is a double post I will lock the thread.

[Q] bricked samsung galaxy 5830m not detected by pc

I flashed my phone with cm10 I think? every thing went fine with that it was successful, however when the phone rebooted it stops at the samsung logo. The unit will not go into recovery mode. When I put it into download mode the screen shows odin d/l mode and the model is 5830i but my model is 5830m. also the computer does not even detect my device. where do I go from here?
Download a ROM for the 5830m with an Odin install. Go into download and install the ROM with Odin.
pc does acknolwedge that a device is connected
pc does acknowledge that a device is connected, it's as the pc doesn't know that a device is connected,( yes I loaded samsung drivers and Kies). What am I doing wrong?

[Q] Help! Galaxy Tab won't boot

Hi i'm just trying to fix my friends G tab 2 that wont boot, for what i can understand is that there was a problem when updating the software on the device, i think she did not have enough power on the tablet at the time of installing the update and now it has screwed up the booting process.
I can as seen below get into the recovery,
As i can get into the recovery i can select wipe all data but when i try to clear the cache the it starts fine then says error with the android on its side with exclamation mark. I've connected the tablet to kies but kies installs every driver apart from mtp possibly because usb debug is not enabled. can anyone please help me here?

[Q] SM-G920F hangs on startup

Hi,
My Phone is now hanging up at the ":
"Samsung Galaxy S6 powered by android" screen
I can still get into recovery and downloadmode.
The pc "sees"the internal storage, but it wont allow me to copy a rom or anything to it,so that i may reflash a rom
Also if i use the "kies"or "smartswitch" programme, it says it cant connect to the Phone.
if reinstelled the samsung driver via kies
Also i have tried deleting the kies and driver from the pc, rebooting and reinstalling kies and driver, bit still the same result
It seems to me that if i could get a rom back on the internal storage i would be able to flas a new rom and get things working again?
Can anyone assist?
thaanks in advance

Hard problems with Samsung Galaxy S6 (broken flash chip?)

Hello guys, I'm really STUCK with the galaxy S6 (G920F) at the moment.
A friend gave it to me he said it suddenly turned off while he was playing a game and couldn't boot anymore.
I can't turn it off, it will keep on turning on automatically.
I can't go into recovery mode.
I can only go into download mode and flash a firmware with odin
I flashed the stock firmware with the latest odin and it flashed successfully. But it's still stuck on the Samsung logo (powered by Android) and won't boot into recovery or do anything at all.
So I read it could be the battery, so I bought a new one and replaced the battery.
But the problem remains. On Windows 7 x64 it's detected as "Gadget Serial" and "SAMSUNG Mobile USB CDC Composite Device" when I'm in download mode.
Odin detects the phone fine.
I then tried using Samsung Kies, and Samsung Smart Switch. Samsung Smart Switch detects an "unsupported device" and Samsung Kies doesn't detect anything at all and is stuck at "connecting...".
I don't have any ideas anymore and I fear it's a dead flash chip or any other board malfunctions.
Any suggestions maybe? Pleasee?

Sounds to me like it has run out of storage space and has no room to cache files when it boots.
Have you tried extracting the stock recovery.img from the stock firmware file then converting the recovery.img to a .tar.md5 file, then flashing the recovery and try to boot directly to it after flashing? If you can get into recovery, you can factory reset the device and wipe the cache partition. Sometimes this solves a bootloop issue after flashing stock firmware.
You can also try flashing a copy of TWRP for your device and then use TWRP to factory reset and wipe the device.

It has never been rooted or had installed something like a custom rom. It's 100% stock / stuck..
Any suggestions maybe? Pleasee?
