I tried using Odin to install a version of 4.1.2 on my s3.. It failed on odin.. I apparently had the wrong file now I cant get into download or recovery mode.. It starts for a second saying loading recovery with the samsung logo then all goes black .. Has some vibrations to it but cant turn in on or connect or even show battery charge on the screen.. Any help to get into any screen would help...
It sounds like a download mode jig should work if you go out and buy one. I'm probably not the 100% best source though.
And that may be a misspell, but there are no 4.1.2 ROMs available to flash in Odin.

Yeah I kinda got that now.. no Odin Flash.. I'm a noob.. I've had it rooted for some time and havn't messed with it for a few months.. but wanted 4.1.2 and instead of coming here I went to Youtube and screwed myself.. What it the Download Mode Jig?
Was it a rom from a different phone?

Yeah.. It was for a different model.. It failed numerous times.. Then I was able to get into download mode again then was able to turn off my phone and get into my regular firmware.. Tried to install the AOKP file and reboot into CWM but upon turning off my phone I got stuck in this crap...
You can still ODIN Flash but only stock ROMs. Have you tried to see you can get to download mode?

Here is the stock firmware from Verizon. FYI the international version of the phone has 4.1.2 which is what you have downlaoded. also uninstall and reinstall odin.

One last thing.. I know I'm wasting your time but I am very sorry.. But when U say it's an international phone.. Is there still a way to get 4.1.2 on my Verizon S3 being that it's a US phone?? And if so please point me to the right tutorial.. I'll be sure to throw in a few more thanks into your rep.. Thanks..

No you will just have to wait for the OTA which will be a while. Scratch that there a few custom ROMS runing 4.1.2 you will have to check the forums for them.
So, the reason for not needing a jtag was that it failed in odin?

I really have no Idea why it decided to let me back into download Mode.. But i"m DL the Verizon firmware right now and gonna reinstall.. 4.1.1. Use my Titanium to hopefully bring back what I can.. if not no big deal at least my phone isn't bricked.. I can get back into my phone now but the recovery mode still won't work.. Hopefully it all comes back after the flash..

As long as he can at least get to download mode his phone can fix it. Odin can also unbrick phones as long as download mode is functioning. Jtag is just unbricking via hardware and it should only be used as a last resort(hard brick). Download jig should only be used if Odin doesn't work. Even samsung has a tutorial on how to unbrick your phone via hardware.

No the reason for not needing a jtag is because he downloaded the wrong ROM for his phone. As long as he can at least get to download mode his phone can be fixed. When your phone is completely shot then use jtag. If that doesn't work then you have to return your phone. Even samsung has a tutorial on how to unbrick your phone via hardware.

I think you're confused. Flash an international ROM in recovery and see how that turns out (JTAG). So it would stand to reason had the Odin of an international ROM succeeded you would get same results. So then it failing would seem to be why it's only soft bricked.

You have a Verizon phone so you absolutely have to flash a Verizon compatible rom. I mean the link you gave us from technodify practically is telling you i9300 which is the international galaxy s3 not i535(Verizon). You are lucky that it failed because if it went through then your phone will be bricked. It was very careless of you to do that now if you have a backup of your previous rom then restore it.

Well after it failed I would factory reset then reboot but the last time I tried it I didn't want to wait for all of the start up so I didn't factory reset it from the clockworkmod restore and just rebooted the phone. Now it will not respond to the power or charge from plugging it in the wall, think it's bricked now. Looking for a hardware provisioning program on the net so I can manually go into the motherboard and re-configure the factory reset thru a walk around.
Can you get it into recovery?
Then just restore the nandroid backup.

We need quite a bit more info before we can help you out. What version of Android were you running before you tried to flash back to stock, 4.1.2, 4.3, or 4.4.2? Were you stock or running a custom ROM? What version of stock were you trying to flash, 4.1.2 or 4.3? From where did you get the stock file you tried to flash?

sorry about the lack of info I don't have the phone in front of me. I was running 4.3 using hyper drive. I tried flashing the stock 4.3 image and that's when it got stuck.

Looking in the development section, I see Hyperdrive is still on 4.1.2, so if you were running Hyperdrive you were on 4.1.2. The problem may have come from flashing the 4.3 stock image on a rooted, bootlaoder unlocked phone. Were you no longer wanting to have an unlocked bootloader and run custom ROMs, because flashing the 4.3 stock image would have locked you down like that. Are you sure you flashed a stock 4.3 file? If so you would probably have to proceed as if you were already on stock 4.3 just to play it safe. This may be you best chance at regaining a functioning phone:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2581166
Unfortunately since you phone does no boot, there is no way to confirm if it is currently on 4.1.2 or 4.3. That would give us a definitive answer on which fix method to use.

I'm sorry for the lack of information again :/ trying to help a friend out by fixing my old phone. Basically I was having space issues with safe strap so I tried to revert to stock and then this horrible mess happened. What you said is most likely true. I looked at that guide, but if it doesn't respond to any cables or power on how can I flash things to it?

If you were on safestrap, shouldn't you have had a fully stock ROM in the stock slot? Also from everything I read, you couldn't run Hyperdrive on safestap because you can only run 4.3 TW ROMs on safestrap. If you were running safestrap, that would mean you were on the 4.3 OTA of VRUCML1 and fixes for that would be your best bet, but since the phone won't power on I don't think any of the fixes here would work. Best bet may be to send it out for JTAG repair. I've seen mobile tech videos mentioned a lot for JTAG repairs.

Lol wow I'm really sorry, I've had a lot going on this week and my brain is all over the place. I was confusing my current s4 and the s3. The s3 was running regular cwm and was running Hyperdrive. I was having usual force closes and such and wanted to flash back to stock and I'm pretty sure I used the wrong file.

Oh man, that sucks. Do you think you possibly used an s4 file on your s3? If so, you will definitely have to send it out for JTAG repair if you can't get any response out of it. But it can't hurt to check out that thread I linked earlier and see if the SD card method can work for you. Good luck.

I Tried to install lollipop on my Note 3, and it wont boot up now. i can still get into download mode and recovery mode. it just gets to the first samsung screen and freezes. I have an unlocked SM-N900A. I tried flashing using safestrap. Thats how i got to this point. Ive also tried to continue installation using Odin. It says FAIL. I think it may be the PIT file is missing, but now i dont know what Version of lollipop i should use since i have an unlocked Note 3. Originally i used the version for AT&T. any help would be great. thanks in advance!
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. First, you don't need a pit file. You need the correct stock firmware for your device. Go to Samsung-updates.com or sammobile.com for the firmware. Then flash it in Odin.

i got everything to work, thanks for the assistance. I ended up having to download the Stock 4.4.4 from the link you provided. I dont know if i needed the PIT file but i asked for one and they provided it so here it is.
and i flashed on 3.09 and all went well. I lost root of course, but i am going to get it back.
Glad you got it working I'll go ahead and close this thread.
