Just flash original firmware with Flashtool and you will be on full stock.

Unbrick

So yesterday I was running cm9 and I decided to flash a different Rom so I went onto recovery and wipe the phone and then went ahead and flashed
The redemption rom. I went ahead and waited for about 10 minutes to see if it works reboot the samsung logo came on last for like 2 seconds then the screen went blank. So now I into Odin to see if I could flash the Stock image.. when I tried that the first step goes through then I go to the second step and it fails. Here are some pics of my computer and my phone. Please help.

Never ever do that, get your sources from here, you might have repartioned your phone which is not recoverable. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762709 go here and scroll down to return to stock.
L710 is the model number of the Sprint GSIII. Hopefully you can get it back with section 2 of the link posted above.
If that doesn't work use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1840030 and it will unbrick your phone.
It looks like your are right ... I wanna thank you for pointing out that I was trying to install the sprint version and not the Verizon version. What relief... Thank you again.

Glad you got it working again. Just so happened to recognize the L710 model number from modifying the build.prop to get Google Wallet working. Always be sure that anything you flash for the Galaxy SIII is for the Verizon specific I535. They all look the same but can put you up #(*%*'s creek if you're not careful. I'd suggest avoiding anything that's not specifically in the Verizon Galaxy SIII sub-forums.

So guessing your phone is back to fully functional again? Good to hear.

[Q] Help!

hey guys i just recently bought and unlocked my skyrocket...the phone has been working great for a couple weeks now the battery randomly shuts off and i get a black screen with a vibrate when trying to boot phone up. I installed the Juggernaut ROM onto this phone and it works like a charm. I even bought a new battery and it worked for a day and now back to square 1. I even tried my battery from SGS 4G and that started the phone. What exactly is wrong? Rom or battery?

b4 the Juggernaut ROM, was it working as out of th box? If it was, then I'd go back to original configuration.

Odin back to stock and use it for a few days then try flashing Sky Jelly Bean. I've had no issues with Sean's JB!
Why are you using a really old t989 Rom?

I don't even remember what juggz looks like. It's a year old gb Rom. Try an ics Rom if you want stability and a newer os. Sky-ics, mohans embryo, to name a couple.

Doesn't seem likely if you just performed an Odin to stock.

Are the battery contacts all dirty, bent, or something look wrong with them?
Restoring to stock makes no change meaning that the problem is with the phone itself or something. Maybe you had messed it up by doing something wrong while flashing or... ))
I think what better for you is that you should contact your carrier and have them replace your phone. This will not be a problem as you've just got it.
Just tell them exactly what happens to the phone, but don't tell them that the phone used to be rooted.
When you got your replacement, pm me inbox, I'm gonna show you how to install CMW, and then go straight ahead to Jelly Bean which is the ROM I'm running right now. Since you said your phone was unlocked, I think even if you use your stock ROM, you still are able to use T-Mobile SIM card or any others. ( But I was told by an ATT agent that the phone needed to be used at least 3 months or something in order to get the code to unlock it)
The reason I'm using custom ROMs is that I can do a wifi tether whenever I want, and be able to run the most recent Android version as soon as it is released.

[Q] Can I return my Galaxy s3?

Hi all, First post on here hope everyone is nice. So I rooted my s3 played around with wickeds rom and liked it alot! Then I saw Synergy came up with the multi window rom so I flashed that! Everything worked great except wifi was not turning on. I saw someone say you need to unlock bootloader and reflash. So...
I used ez unlock to unlock bootloader
I pressed reboot into recovery
AND.... Bricked.. I think.
Can this be fixed? Most people who brick their phones by flashing to a wrong rom but not in my case. The phone wont turn on and wont go into download mode.
WHAT CAN I DO? can i call samsung and tell them that the screen stopped working or something? Its a 2 week old phone!
PLEASE HELP!!!!
U can search for hardbrick solution, i think there is a way to reflash bootloader. If not take it to samsung, maybe they won't see what u did.

I've returned a phone that was bricked back to a retailer no problem. Going through a carrier might be different.

Look for JTAG repair if you are absolutely sure you cannot get into download mode.
I will take it to tmobile today and post back what happens. Thanks guys

I've also flashed that ROM. You must flash Ktoonsez kernel in order to fix the WiFi problem.

That wasn't quite necessary but OK, good luck with your new phone.

[Q] possible hardbrick

Okay so I have a gs3 that is no longer responding to power buttons or cables or new batteries. Is it possible I can fix it? This all happened when I was trying to flash back to stock.

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.
