Flash again - but be 100% certain the ROM you are using is for the precise version of S3 that you have!

because of this im use tutorial from ibtimes
Either ask that site what's wrong or use XDA methods to root .

But first just try flashing stock firmware via Odin .

do you still have warranty on your phone?
if it has, follow this guide so that you dont have to pay any fee
1. flash stock firmware and root it
2. after rebooted connect usb otg cable with usb mouse attach to it so you can navigate the screen on your phone.
3. install triangleaway and reset the binary counter on download mode.
4. after resetting the binary to no or 0, unroot your phone using supersu.apk and uninstall triangleaway
5. after unroot factory reset your phone.
6. you have to use again the usb otg to pass the welcome screen after factory reset
7. you are now ready go to the shop and claim warranty.

So nobody solve this problem yet?
Ok i had this problem days ago, unfortunately after putting the wrong file for rooting, the touchscreen doesnt work at startup screen.. This is harfware problwm u have to change the lcd and difitizer... Hard to believe but its true after wrong rooting seen blue flicking, i think it damages the chips oh well it made my pocket burn replacing one lol.

I finally get back my charming s3 with the warranty claim! Tq very much chris.
Ironically,i ask my friend about my phone problem,he say that its not about the hardware damage,but software,specifically,kernel.he said that i can just flash stock firmware through kies (not odin) to get thing back normal again.i did not do this method coz i already got my repaired s3.. so anyone encounter this problem maybe should try the method,perhaps?

yes try the kies method first before sending for repair.
but i dont think it will solve by kies update if you got the brick by flashing wrong cfautoroot.
maybe if you got the brick from flashing rom maybe it can be fix,

[Q] Question about brick ?

i have a question for you guys what i have not
do for to get a cell phone brick ?
i have read many threads and the only way for to get it is by using application rom manager thats right or i can get a brick cell phone in odin software.
what if by a mistake set files in a wrong order in odin software
galaxy ace cf gingerreal v1.0 kph
thanks in advance
WHY would you put the wrong files in ODIN, just read the tutorial and follow it correctly?
And to kinda answer the question, what've read is that ODIN will not brick you phone, you might be able to get a bootloop though (just reflash and it should work fine).
Read the newbie guide(sticky thread) about Rom manager, it should be supported now but be cautious, better to use CWM app instead, or just reboot your phone to CWM (dont be lazy).
People brick their phone when unlocking their phone, there should be a proper solution that works without having to brick you phone.

Another ROM Manager victim. Please read around before you do smart things to your phone. Its well know that ROM Manager bricks the ACE. Try to get to download mode and flash a ROM via Odin. If you cant, take it to repair center.
send to service center. theres practically nothing u can do if bricking from rom manager
ohh so can u tell me what actually happened to my phone ?

just a last question how many bucks will the service center guy take to repair my phone ?
None ..
Act like a total noob --you dont know what rooting is ,you have never heard of rom manager
Say nothing smart....just put up a sad face...gloomy expressions
And after they take the phone to repair come out and show the service center the finger ..

What did you actually do to get your phone into its current state?
On top of that,
What model is the phone? (i9100, i9100G, i9100T, etc)
model is i9100 now its in the state total off no screen on nor working recovery or download mode i put off battery two hours
Your inability to answer simple questions leads me to suggest that you should contact Samsung. We cannot help you.

You can try to get into Download mode using USB Dongle Jig.
If not, JTAG is the only way to unbrick. Unbrivk with JTAG costs about 50$ in my country. It will totaly reflashe the rom (bootloader, kernel, etc.).

That was the problem.
Your kernel has brick bug, it's being said 1 million times but you did not read it or ask questions before messing around with your device.
I'm afraid your device may be hard bricked.
I'm sorry.
Let's see what can be done.
If you can get to download mode with combined buttons or usb jig then visit this thread: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1841099

ok m8 thanks for the info, but because the phone is only 4mths old i have requested a service repair with samsung so im gonna send it off tomoz to get sorted.. is their a way samsung can find out if i been messing with it or will they just flash with stock firmware anyways once they can get it to boot? or will they just replace the board? Thanks. Mick.

If it's hard bricked there is nothing us users can do to get the phone back but I'd imagine it wouldn't be too hard for Samsung to realize what you've done
Good luck :good:

Hopefully they should repair.. Thats the only option i have left.. Stupid me i only just bought it as well!
i'll keep u updated and let u know if it was repaired? i here a few peeps get similar probs when trying to update to custom firmware's and samsung do repair and send them back to their customers..:fingers-crossed:
I hope you will have your phone working again dude, and I want to ask a question to Jokesy, is there a brickbug or something bad about XWLP7 ? Because if I turn back to stock rooted SGS2 , i will use XWLP7.

And people say Samsung has a bad customer service, Samsung FTW
The easiest way to Root your phone is probably the Chainfire Root, which you can find here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
It`s very important that you read the instructions there on how to Root your phone.
It´s a great method because it gives you Root and Clockworkmod in one package and you will keep your stock Kernel.
After that you can install any Rom or Kernel you want but it`s highly recomended to not install any Kernel with the Hard Brick Bug. Read this thread for more information:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1756242
If you really want to remove the triangle there is a mod from chainfire, called TriangleAway: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494114
but I would recommend not to do it, since people also managed to screw that up (bricking their phone), I mean is it really so disturbing to see the Triangle for 2 seconds everytime you reboot?
Good Luck

can it be fixed bro??? @GamingDj
I hope for your sake this is not the case.....but it sounds like another case of ics brickbug......
Can you tell us which kernel you flashed (provide a link if you can) and what (odin) method you used to root.....

i did this to my device almost 2 week ago and upgraded my HDD so unfortunately i don't have the back up and can't remember the kernel version or which file i used to root it
maybe luck is not on my side after all ... .
Ok....to recap......
Can you enter recovery mode?
Can you enter download mode?
Do you get the battery icon on the screen when you plug the charger in?
Does the area below the main camera get warm when you attempt to charge?
If your answers are 'no', 'no', 'no' and yes.....then more than likely it IS brickbug.......
Which brings me to my next question.......
Ignoring the fact that you rooted (this is now undetectable) are you under warranty?
Samsung are aware that *some* of their phones will fail if a wipe or kies update is performed on them. So as long as you tell them........
'I tried to update with kies and then the phone switched off and wouldn't switch on again'
then they *should* repair the phone under warranty.
Just DON'T mention XDA or rooting or odin or brickbug......or anything else like that and you should be ok.....

Had the same problem with my old s2.The phone doesn't boot into recovery or download mode if the battery is dead,Make sure the battery is alright and try again.I had to replace my battery.
If all is well,then its EMMC brick.

Painful indeed . . .. . .. .
was there anything i could have done to prevent this .. . ????
From what I can tell 4.0.4 was the problem. Soon as you factory reset the phone dies. Sam knows about this that makes it even worst. Sorry to hear about your dead s2

Stay well away from 4.0.4 firmware and factory reset. Even with a custom kernel I think is a bad move to stay on it.

at least its good to know that its not my fault . . .. tnx bro. . .:good:
Some will say its your fault for not reading. Not me this is a dirty samsung problem and they should of recalled ALL the faulty handset's as I think they are faulty and pull the 4.0.4 from every were. Can I ask were did you get that firmware from?
