I don't think so beacause i can bring the phone into the Dowloadmode holding power + Vol. Down and Home.
Do u have another idea?

Sh*t, my friend I hope it's not because of the MIUI v5 3.4.19 ROM, because I had a hard-brick from the Kernel which was not safe against sudden dead syndrome on my N7100 (Note2) which uses the same SoC as the I9300...

I5500 help please!!!

Ok so i had rom manager and my device wouldnt show up , so what i did was where it says clockwork recovery i clicked dell streak model , then it said installed successfully so i thought oh ! Great! But then what happened was when i rebooted my device it doesnt power on at all , please help me!!!!!!!
notes
also , i have a backup of my phone clockwork recovery on sd card.
Aaaaaah! Shouldn't have done that, didn't it seem kinda obvious?
But anyway, if you can't power on in download/any way at all, looks like you'll have to send it to samsung repair
Sent from my GT-I5500 using Tapatalk
ok so i dont have any other option at all , also what are the combinations , i have tried:
vol down +home + power , vol down + middle button + power . i have also tried using usb and holding vol down, home , power and then putting battery in.
I think that's all there is, sorry

yes it doesnt power up , but if you tell me some ways to try and boot up then i will be able to flash it back.
i didnt think flashing the wrong recovery would brick a phone?
some ideas:

Something else is wrong. If you tried installing wrong recovery it should of just said on your phone screen installation aborted. Have a go at this. I take it you still have odin installed on your pc right.
Press and hold vol down. Then press centre and power at the same time and hold down. It only takes a few seconds for a yellow triangle to appear with downloading written on the screen. You do not need to have the usb plugged in at this moment.

Man..ur can only be done right by odin....so for going to download mode...turn off the mobile pick out the battery put it again .....and press vol. Down+centre selection button(not home or android button)+power on key....and after 2 sec u will be their....and try to press the button in the order as i posted.....say if it helps...

yes i still have odin installed , but my phone isnt showing any sign of life at all , i tried this what you said and it didnt work , no lights at all.

If you cant get it on download mode then i would say you bricked your phone,, you will probally be charged by samsung as they dont condone tampering with custom roms or recovery and there will be traces if they manage to power it on, it might be cheaper for you to just buy another phone, and leave it alone, but am still sorry to hear you cant get your phone working, good luck..
Sent from my Xoom using xda premium
So what did you do? Any updates? The exact same thing happened to me too
None of the key combinations will work, because your phone's arm11boot partition is now corrupt. That's really bad, because it's responsible for phone charging/download mode etc.
You need to get it repaired.
Please guys, *never* install ClockworkMod that's intended for another device. With other models you can get lucky and find a working build, but you have an extremely high risk of permanently bricking with Samsung models.
I did this exact same thing and ended up buying a Galaxy Ace. I'll still try and fix my Galaxy 5 though. I selected Huewai Pulse from the list. Bad move =(

Just hold Vol Up + Power + Home until it reboots to recovery, then restore from the backup I hope to God you made.
What version of gs3 do you have. International or us? Cause there are some people who bricked the US GS3s in an attempt to flash Omega.

you mean you cant boot into recovery or it is still stuck at the logo?
Click to expand...

Make sure your phone is off (pull the battery for 5sec) and that it's not connected via USB.
Then press and hold Volume-Down, Home-Button (center) and Power.
(In that order)
When the logo appears, immediatly release the Power while still holding the other 2 until download mode appears.
If it does not work, make sure you haven't slipped off a button and repeat procedure a few times.
If it still does not work you're officially softbricked and need a Jig (Usb-plug with an intern resistor).
They're quite cheap and several repair shops seem to have one. You can also make it yourself if you're any good with a solder iron. It really isn't hard and you can't break anything.
If you've got your hands on a jig, make sure the phone is powered off, then plug the jig in. It will magically turn on and immediatly show download mode. (If it tries to boot, turn it off and repeat, that happens if the jig isn't seated properly)
Should it remain off, your jig isn't exactly 301kOhm (several cheap ones are 300kOhm)

Have you tried what the previous guy said and got in to download mode? If you can get to download mode you are fine. Just need a rom you can install via odin or just reinstall recovery via Odin. Then wipe and reinstall another rom again.
Nuff said really. I highly doubt you have softbricked the device if you can get to the boot logo.

You should never flash a custom rom
A. if you have no idea (Clearly you have never don this before)
B. YOU NEED A JIG

PS: Did you install CWM through Odin? Why on earth would you do that! Also if you wiped your device on ICS using CWM you may be up sh%t creek without a paddle, because your device might be permanently hard bricked

Like said here before, if you installed CWM on an unsafe Kernel (usually Stock Kernel present on 4.0.4 and 4.1.2 Stock Firmware) and after that wiped your data/cache etc. there is a good probability that you hard-bricked your device. Not even JTAG will help, if it`s the eMMC hardbrick.
Try to get into download mode and flash a Stock 4.0.3 Firmware and if you can`t then try a USB Jig to get into download mode and if that doesn`t work you probably hardbricked your device as described above
Read this on more info about eMMC superbrick:

Yes!!! I do believe that I know don't much about android. because I am very new at android... that's why I am bagging for u guys help.
I hope u Guys will teach me how to fix this situation.
I Used Odin 3 1.85 to install CMW. While the installation process taking place an error occur. and automatically shut down. show up an message
"firmware upgrade encountered an issue. try to connect kies...." after 10-15 mins showing this message
display gets black and stuck. i tried everything that is possible to me. press and holding power+VOL up+home together, leave it for charge etc.
but nothing works
COULD ANYONE HELP ME ON THIS SITUATION. :crying:
As said before, Try power + volume Down + home and flash a stock firmware through Odin
And is there still any life at all? What about when charging. Is there the charging animation?
Also maybe read through this? https://t-mobile.jive-mobile.com/#jive-discussion?content=/api/core/v1/discussions/27132

Oh yes. Android obviously sucks given you didn't have the cerebral matter to do your research before you started doing things that could potentially trash your phone
Only one thing is to blame in this instance. And that's you.

I love comments like this. Well if you don`t read properly how and what to flash at what time to your device and just do as you think is right then you are going to end up with a hardbrick. That`s nobodies fault but yours. Why did you buy an Android phone in the first place if you can handle an IPhone better?

If you have an hardbrick and you can`t even get into download mode, what do you expect people to do? We are normal human beings here, there are no miracles here. If you have an hardbrick, you can try to repair it via Jtag or send it to a Samsung service center if you are still on warranty but if you complain about Android and how much it sucks you won`t be making many friends here, since this is an Android community.

galaxy s3 cannot turn on!!!!

Hello guys.
Unfortunately my galaxy s3 cannot turn on. My phone started to freeze all the time and I got a message when i turned on that i have to wipe data because my cell phone can become unstable. Below the message it was a key which said "I am feeling lucky" :/ I tried to boot to recovery with the standard way of Home + volume + power and Android logo came on the screen like the way when I updated the firmware. When it stuck after 10 mins I turned it off and now the only thing I can see is a white screen with grey lines. nothing more nothing less.
I cannot do anything via toolkit because it cannot find the mobile...

Hey guys, i hope this wasent posted before at least if then i am to stupid to find it.
I broke the screen of my s3 and a guy in a handyshop repaired it for everything fine except my software ( Omega rom idk the version ;( ) always got into safemode. At Home i wanted to fix it myself and got in recovery mode and instaled the newest backup i got.
Now its stuck in a bootloop if I start it normaly and if i start it in recovery or download mode it shows me the samsung SIII start screen and turns back off.
I hope you can help me and thans a lot for even trying.

If i start it normaly, without pressing any Buttons except to power button i get a bootloop is vibrating periodicly and i see my bootscreen forever.
If I want to get in recovery mode or download mode (volume up/down+home+power) it Shows me the Samsung sIII Screen and turns off again.

If it worked fine before the screen was broken then either something else was damaged at the same time or the repair process has added something new.
If you can't get it into download mode then not a lot you can do, usb jig or repair clip might work -but only if the motherboard is undamaged..
