Bricked my Gear S3 SM-R760 - Samsung Gear S3

Long short story, I had an accident then broke my watch and had to pay roughly $140 to replace some parts its worked but I got the Korean firmware also the home button was not working . The home button is working if I press both back and home button. (I was pretty sure it was software failure because I didn't mess with the watch or even drop it).
I tried to flash it with from this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-s3/how-to/firmware-how-to-unbrick-gear-s3-t3761643
Unfortunately it is failed, because I just noticed the firmware provided in the post was for R765 not R760, silly me.
After it finished, the watch shows red texts error then it goes like this in the photo attached. I am about to flash it with a proper firmware for SM-R760 but I couldn't get into "Download (Wireless)" mode or anything in REBOOT MODE. It just stucks like in the photo attached below.
Please help, I do not want to waste my money to bring it to Samsung before I try something else.
Also I am completely new on this kind of thing I'm hoping for your help guys. Thank you so much in advance.

I'm stuck on the same problem. If you can give me a tip, I'm grateful.

Sorry to bring this thread back up but I have the same issue. I can't use wireless. I restart it and I get the menu with all the options. I click on download and I get the same screen as the OP. Any tips? Will post if I figure something out.
Also, I accidentally downloaded the wrong firmware onto it

Is there another way to unbrick besides opening watch?
I did the exact thing as original poster. Flashed with wrong firmware (SM-R765). Now phone is stuck on Odin Mode with the following:
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official, SYSTEM STATUS: Custom, REACTIVATION LOCK: On, SECURE DOWNLOAD: Enabled
Is there anyway to get back to the "Tizen Flower" screen to reattempt flash with correct firmware?
Is the only way to do this by opening the watch and connecting USB? Is my watch dead now? Thanks.:crying::crying::crying:

Sorry, no Magic nor Voodoo nor ... exists.
If Download Wireless is dead/disabled... then you need MANDATORY USB cable... for repair attempt at home.
OWN RISK!

gsmarti hard reset... power cut off

I was flashing my gsmarti's ROM this morning... I follow all the steps and it is successfully go into the "flashing environment"... Unfortunately, the process stuck at the beginning... and suddenly, it turn off itself... then, I cant switch on my phone anymore... and I dont even get the static Gigabyte screen as well...
Is there any solution to this?
Thank you!
Do you know where to find the Rom Upgrade Utility for your phone?
If you go to your carrier's website and log into it, do you by any chance have a downloadable file that will restore your phone to its factory settings?
There's also many different GSmart models .. which one do you have?
I looked up Gsmart phones, and their support site has firmware upgrades listed for some of their phones .... see if you're is listed.
http://www.gigabytecm.com/eng/gbc_supportcategory.aspx?sid=7&tabIndex=3
Thank for you reply =)
Actually i am using gsmart i (64)... and i have the latest firmware with me...
Because this device is using POCKET GHOST to restore and backup the system...
as i mentioned earlier... my "flashing" process is stuck at the beginnig... so, in my opinion, i think the pocket ghost has been deleted and i cant do the flashing anymore... is it true?
If it run's Windows Mobile ... you should be able to run the RUU at the bootloader screen....
As far as how do you get into the bootloader on your phone ... I have no idea.... on mine, I soft reset while holding the camera button in and keeping the camera button held in until the bootloader screen comes up which looks something like this (note i just randomly found this pic on google images)

Hi... thank you ya...
but i am still stuck in the black screen...
and i cant find any way to access into the bootloader...
i am searching the other sites... and i came across this:
they said if anything goes wrong during "flashing", the ROM will be locked...
is that true?
and one more thing, the bootloader, is it almost same as the bios (cmos) of
our pc?
and for your information... a lot of people are having the same problem...
thx thx... appreciate!! =)
Is this the bootloader?
Yep, that is our bootloader for the Gsmart series. On the i300 its accessed by pressing the red phone, green phone and power buttons at the same time.
If you want to change your ROM then you need to load the new version to your SD card (and I think it needs to be the only contents on the card).

Prerequisites :
Make sure you have samsung usb drivers installed,otherwise odin will not detect it,
then, try these steps :
1)Disconnect the wall charger first. reboot into download mode by long pressing Power button and Volume down buttons simultaneously for 8 to 10 seconds, then when you see "download" mode written,immediately press volume up button.
2) Download odin and download stock firmware from www.samsungupdates.com based on your region.
3) if you phone gets detected,odin textbox will turn green.
4) open odin, now check option " restart" make sure only this option is checked like the following screenshot attached.
5) now click on pda and naviagate to the stock firmware you have downloaded....
6) it will gonno take sometime,,,,,until you see a successful message in the bottom-left corner....
thats it. if you still run into any further issues,please let me know.
Well thanks for your help.The Tab is working again.Admins please lock.

[Q] PLEASE HELP ME, Urgent :(

Hello,
I have Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 ( Old version ) .
I got a problem with my device
I can`t turn it on anymore, when I hook it up with USB plug into ( PC ) or ( Power Adapter ) I got the following screen :
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

}
so I thought its not charged.
But then I left it to charge full ( 3 - 4 hours or maybe more ) but when I turn it on the welcome screen shows and stucked forever like following :
I tried to reset the factory and data and cache and everything inside BOOT list ( into "Power + Voulme up " menu ) but nothing happen too and the welcome screen still keep stucking .
What can I do ?
Some people told me I should put a new ROM/Software into it
But what is true ? and where is the problem ?
Please HELP !
I can't see any of the pictures you have put in your post. Have you tried reflashing your current rom onto your Note 10.1 with Odin? That usually fixes problems like this and it lets you keep your data.

1. Find the firmware for your device base on it's model number: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/
2. Download Odin onto your computer and run it.
3. Get your tablet and when it's turning on, hold the power button and volume down button until you get to the warning screen.
4. Press volume up to continue to download mode and plug your tablet into your computer via USB
5. On your computer, make sure Odin says "Added!". Load the firmware as a PDA into odin and press "Start". Do not unplug your tablet until the process has finish.
6. Android should begin to update and once that's done you should be good to go.

Okay i will try then when i come home

Press Volume - & Home & Power for ~30sec then phone must automaticlly reboot, then when you will see Samsung logo directly really fastly move finger from Volume - to Volume + but still holding that other two buttons. You must get in to recovery menu if you had flashed it before. Then flash again ROOT or full-wipe and just clean install another ROM+ROOT ofcourse. If you did fully unroot via SuperSU then that's can be why now system don't started

BV4900 Pro systemupdate and brick

Hello everybody!
Yesterday, on 28 of December, I had a massage on my BV4900 pro that a systemupdate is now ready to be installed.
After download of 2,48 GB file the installation went on, the phone started in the next step. On the screen was this white circle and the installation-progress was shown under. After the update was completted, the phone didnt start. The screen ist black. I cannot do anything with it. I tried to flash the firmware or at least the preloader with sp-flash-tool, but cannot. The connection to sp-flash-tool is with 100% but then I see under device-manager is "Media Tek PreLoader USB VCOM (Android)". So the flash-tool does not flash. I tried with volume buttons to stop the battery-loading, but withou sussess. What can I try more to save the phone?
Some more informations: The red LED ist on, when the phone ist connected to pc or power-supply. The phone was rooted. The last android version: 12
And maybe this picture will help:

Just a Hint:
Do not flash preloader! preloader is responsible for preloader mode (which used by SP Flash Tool)
Do not use "Format all + Download" option. Formatting whole emmc will brick device.

Yes, I did it already. Nothing helps.
I spend the second day with this problem and do not come forward.
you already tried another cable and another PC? then probably usb jack is faulty. you shouldn't flash anything via usb then!
I am not the one who told you - you could try other flash tools. do not flash, just try to read back for now...

Somebody else, who maybe has an idea?
I found this discription of the error:
The phone seems always be on. With power button I can only "restart" it. How can I shut it down?
Is there a tool I can use for switch the phone off?
Or maybe cmd-command for shutting down the device on com-port? I cannot find anything in internet. Only with adb. But I have no connection to adb, the phone is over adb not rearchable.
Maybe someone can show me the test point for this smartphone?
