Help Please! - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So, I rooted my GS3 with this method http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XoEVD...ure=plpp_video
Everything went perfectly and was successfully rooted.
I then made a backup of my phone.
I tried installing a rom and it had errors, so I restored my phone and it was successfully stored and hit restart phone.
Thats where I am at now. The phone shut off, and wont turn back on. I have it on the charger and there is no charging light, nothing. tried pulling the battery, entering recovery. Nothing works.
I have no idea what happened or how to get my phone back on.
Please help.
Thank you.

same problem
I have the same issue!!!! I cant start up my phone after following the procedure.

Can you get to download mode .
If not try a USB Jig to enter download mode .
Download mode flash stock rom .
No download mode require a paid for JTag repair .

thnx for the help but it isn't a boot loop but it just won't start up
only thing i can do is to push it in downloadmode after falshing original sw it still doesn't start?
is it bricked now?
need desperate help now snifsnif
I would follow the boot loop instructions first .
1) Turn off your phone. Unplug it from your computer etc
2) Hold down home, power, and volume UP. This will enter recovery mode. If you are using CF-Root, you'll get CWM recovery.
Do you have in CWM recovery Mounts and storage if so Format data system cache and sd card .
Followed by boot to download mode and flash stock rom .

problem is i can't get in recovery mode either not original or cwm
so that is why i can only flash through odin

Root + CWM .

ok did what you said but it started by giving boot image with triangle but after that nothing can't get into recovery or download mode
only thing is that it still gives a battery pic when i put it in power socket
is it really broken now?
trying to get the original fw/sw on but is it normal that it takes so long to write factoryfs on th phone?
No should not take more than 10-15 mins to flash in full .
Edit it was broken from your first post but we can recover 90% of the time .
You are out of options return to service centre and say it failed during a Kies update .

now it worked with frankensteins fw xxxk3 startss up with original samsung letters without triangle but it won't boot or startup as it supposed to do?
when i use vol up+home+power i get a grey battery icon?

got no rom working at the moment
at this moment totaly screwed and getting angry everything stays black at the moment
reaction zero from my phone only when i put it in power socket it warms up but cant get it on connected to anything
getting really desperate by now need really big help now
So at the moment you cant even get into download mode, you need to tell us exactly what files u were trying to flash and where you got it from, it;s very difficult to brick this device
was flashing sensation rom then it turned off after that tried several times to get the original fw to get it on but i could still get it in downloadmode after flashing frankensteins xxkh3 fw it turned off and now it's still down won't start up anymore screen keeps black and no vibration at all butt warms up when in power socket but i don't see the bat icon anymore
allrigth i did bricked my phone i have black screen and nothing happened and is on his way to samsung service center to be repaired?
i'll give feedback when it returns hopefully by next sunday.
can anyone tell me if they can see if it's been rooted after i put original fw back before it died on me.

If the phone is not responding to any button inputs now, your only choice is a JIG that may be able to force download mode, if that doesn't work, a de-bricking service

at the vodafone shop tey tried to use the JIG but still nothing happened to it so it's send back to samsung for repair
de-bricking service couldn't work it out either so i'll just have to wait for at least 5 working days for any response
thanks for your help/advice though!!!!!!!!!

Can flashing a recovery even affect the ability to reach odin mode?
When you power up the phone, do you see anything at all?
Is it possible the battery is just dead?

If you've flashed something that has killed your phone completely, and a jig doesn't work, nor does the key combo to access download mode, then you're looking at JTAG service for it.

BRICKED SGS2 - download mode does NOT work

Long story short. Was on a custom rom. Factory Reset. Buggered everything up.
I can't get into recovery mode. And my download mode isn't working.
The original boot logo doesn't appear (with the triangle) -- it just goes STRAIGHT into download mode -- and Odin isn't recognizing the phone.
Would love for you guys to try and figure this one out lol
Have you used odin before perhaps the pc is missing the drivers?

Yes. My buddy beside me has Odin on his computer working -- tested it on his SGS and it works fine.
When mine is in download mode, it doesn't recognize it. Nothing happens. The initial boot logo doesn't even appear -- which is incredibly strange. It just goes STRAIGHT into download mode and ODIN doesn't recognize the phone (no "added" thing appears)
I do believe this is bricked. Recovery doesn't work at all either. And if I turn the phone on and press the home button a few times -- the entire screen flashes white and black over and over.
I guess last resort is a USB jig ?

u need to download the lastest KIES version then plug your phone to your PC/LAPTOP, then update DRIVERS and KIES FIRMWARE to the latest version, before u open ODIN u need to close KIES, then disable temporary anti-virus/anti-malware and run ODIN with ADMIN previledge, and your phone will detect ODIN, as long as you can go to DOWNLOAD MODE or RECOVERY MODE

I am not sure it's the drivers. Why? Because my friend who works beside me has the drivers installed. He put his phone (exact same phone) into download mode and it connected fine. This means his drivers work.
It would do nothing when i connected while in download mode.
the jig is the last resort.
If the jig doesn't work, is it possible I am the first ever to brick a phone galaxy phone?
lol

You're not the first nor the last to brick this phone.
USB jig isn't likely to help since it's used to force the device into download mode. Try to find a JTAG service in your area.

Try Odin v3.07

what can I do (hardware bricked phone :()

Well, after saving a long time, I finally got my s3 on amazon.com, when I opened it, it was new and beautiful, I powered it up, inserted my sim, and the phone freezed, after that I waited 2 minutes, and pulled out the battery, and tried to power it up again, but it got stuck at the yellow triangle saying to put it in download mode and use kies, I looked in the forum and found an Odin tutorial , downloaded all the neccessary tools, left the phone plugged to my USB port in download mode doing nothing, and went out fifteen minutes, when i came back decided to flash a new working rom onto my phone i founded the telephone completely dead, not responding to any key combination or cable connection to my pc, i thought it was the battery , charged it on my brothers phone and the phone was still dead,(i tested the battery for voltage and it delivered 3.7 v and 1500 maH, all correct and optimal values, I searched again and tried with a USB jig, trying to get into recovery mode, and it did not work either (the usb jig was allright, because it worked on my brothers phone, and on a friends Galaxy SII , so i do not know what else to do, and i ended posting here. What can i do? i will send it back to warranty , but maybe i can solve it first , Thanks!
Hardware bricked you can do nothing .
USB Jig is not for recovery mode .
If you have flashed your warranty may be void .
But also possible its SDS .
Sudden Death .

Do you have latest Samsung drivers installed? And also try to run Odin as administrator if you're using Windows.

[Q] Cold dead hard brick S5830i - what is the last resort?

The story:
Got a phone with some software problems when calling from a spouse. Tried to update the ROM and it bricked.
Status:
endless loop of bootscreen
could enter recovery mode and boot CWR
can not enter download mode
unable to boot system
Tried endless guides and instructions with stock ROM's and firmwares. Some of them installed some didnt - none worked. Still in endless loop.
Gave up yesterday and went to bed to keep trying today.
Now its totally bricked.
- no recovery mode
- no download mode
- no boot screen
- cant connect to PC via USB (Odin wont recoqnize)
The only sign of life - whatever I do it has black screen with backlight on but nothing else.
What can I do? They say that a broken phone is only with hardware problems but could I have f**** up the software so much that its the same?

You can try this guide by @SuperMini to force open Download Mode from odin. Here is the link,
How to unbrick Samsung Galaxy Ace
Make sure to use the key combination of Download Mode for your device as the one mentioned in the guide is for Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830. If that doesn't work, then you can try the USB Jig (not always guaranteed to work). If USB Jig did work, then it will force open the Download Mode so you can flash stock rom back using odin. If USB Jig doesn't work either, then your last option is to consult the Service Center. Do post the result. Hope I Helped

1. make sure you have installed drivers on your computer
2. remove battery > connect phone to computer > press volume buttons and lock key
3. if you get a black screen just press the volume up button.
odin will recognize the device
if this does not work then try multi-formatter
using it, format rfs partition and then install some custom rom.
