Is my phone bricked or can someone help? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I followed this video to install Cyanogenmod. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQdSOTdV06Q
during the install I got a red error stating there was some problem with the gapps zip. Now my phone gives a quick samsung flash and nothing else happens. If I hold power,home and volume up I can still get into the cyanogenmod screen with the option to install. 
I downloaded the files again and tried installing. It got as far as flashing file 1 of 2 and the working bar keeps spinning and doesn't make anymore progress. The screen eventually went black and now I cant even get into the recovery screen. The screen flashed the samsung logo with small blue writing in the top left and then goes black again.
Please help...
Update - If I hold power, volume down and home I am able to get into the downloading screen.

Try to reflash cyanogen mod again but before that format you device completely by going to recovery mod!
Or try to download the cyanogen mod and gapps from xda thread or from somewhere else!
Before flashing any ROM, it is strongly recommended to completely format your device!
Hope it will help you

Since you can get into download mode and not into the recovery I would try to flash back to stock following the info in the sticky.

Thanks to the both of you for the help.

I found this but it is very vague
IF YOUR PHONE MATCHES OPTION 1 LOOK HERE!!
A soft brick is easily fixed in most cases, here is what you can do to fix your phone!
-Boot into Recovery (Vol Up + Home Button + Power Button) and wipe your data/cache/delvik cache and factory reset and start all over.
-If Recovery fails, try booting into Download Mode (Vol Down + Home Button + Power Button) and use Odin to get into stock firmware and start again.
(if youre using a Mac, Linux or Ubuntu Heimdall can be used to flash stock firmware)
-Also make sure the downloaded ROM/GApps are not corrupt when youre flashing. You can do this by checking the MD5.
-If youre getting a "STATUS 7" error, please update your recovery, or update your bootloader.
I also found this one that I will try an follow.

To confuse things a little, this phone is a telus phone that I had unlocked to use on Bell. I assume I reflash the telus firmware, am I correct?

Bro just download your phone's custum recovery .
Now go to Odin mod in your phone volume down,home,power.then select volume up.now connect your phone in to PC.
Now open Odin select PDA then browse custum recovery. And start button click.

I was able to get my original firmware back with odin.
Can someone link me to the current files for my phone so I don't screw this up again? Its a Telus i747m, which I believe falls under AT&T.
Thanks

Bro go to this site:http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/
Then create free account select your phone model and download latest firmware.
Then flash via Odin.
Best of luck.

I want to say thanks for all the replies.
I was able to sort out my problem and here is the solution.
I was trying to install the zip files from the micro sd and it was failing every time. I then tried the same sd card in a usb-otg cable and it worked perfectly.
It must have something to do with the built in sd reader.

If you have root, download an app called flashify from the play store, and use it to flash this file,
https://www.dropbox.com/s/foh6ps3tt1wb7ga/openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.0-hltespr-4.4.img
You must be on TouchWiz KitKat for this to work.
What you're experiencing is most likely recovery loops. It occurs when going into recovery when mashing all 3 buttons for too long (home + volume up + power).
If flashing from Odin, let go of the power key as soon as it begins to go into recovery. Otherwise it'll keep forcing into a strange horizontal screen line, continuously, or go into system.
Good luck!

Ok so I got flashify and found the flash twrp option and I did it my phone went into bootloops I dont know why but to fix it I just odin flashed cf-auto-root and that got me out of the loop. I also dowmloaded the file from where you said but it comes out as a disk to burn and is not read by odin. hope you understand! Still need some help!!!! Please.
Here is another way to try, first what version of Odin are you using? I use version 1.85 her is the link http://www.downloadodin.info/download-odin-1-85 instead of twrp I use Philz CWM recovery version 6.12.9 the latest for Sprint, here is the link https://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/hltespr/ download the .tar file to the desktop of your PC. Do you have Samsung drivers installed on you PC? Here is the link http://androidxda.com/download-samsung-usb-drivers download and install on PC.
Now lets get started, first pull the battery on the phone, reinstall, reboot device in download mode ( press and hold volume down, power button, and home button at the same time till mode starts, then press volume up to continue ) now start Odin on desktop, then click on PDA a box will come up click on desktop, then click on the .tar file, it should come up in the box next to PDA. Now connect the phone to your PC via a USB cable. A box in the upper left hand corner of Odin will light up COM: doesn't matter what color or number just shows a connection is made. Now click start, and wait till its done it will say pass. If the device doesn't reboot, unplug and reboot device. Now power off and boot into your new recovery. ( Press volume up, power button, and home button at the same time till you see some text on the top of the device then let go )

There is no reason to use the auto root package.
Just flash the NC5 tar, then Odin TWRP.
Follow the instructions on my NC5 tar thread.
Latest TWRP tar is here...
https://www.dropbox.com/s/x4mqer180pt4yxt/openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.0-hltespr-4.4.img.tar
After flashing the above, dive straight into recovery using your phone's hardware buttons (volume up + home + power, then let go of only the power button after you start to reboot).
From there, flash one of the pre-rooted roms on the dev forum, or just the latest root zip, here,
https://www.dropbox.com/s/vgqvxsn7qal5q6c/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.01.zip
Good luck!

If your stock then I believe your odex unless youce flashed a new rom then the rom your on will say in the op odex or de-odex.

Samsung Galaxy Player 3.6 (YP-GS1 Europe) stuck on recovery menu

Hi guys, I've got the European version of the Galaxy player 3.6, and I'm stuck on recovery: The home button doesn't work, and I believe it's because I flashed 4.2 kernel by mistake, when on android 2.3.6. I can't turn it on, because it loads up the recovery menu. I have tried to search for this issue but I haven't found an answer, so I posted it here, is there anything I can do or is this dead for good? Thanks in advance

It's on the device.. Uhm it's basically something that appears whenever I turn on the phone, I can't access recovery or anything else, I can get to the part where it asks me to press vol up, but when I let go of the other buttons to press vol up it goes to the firmware screen, and I've tried almost everything, I tried not letting go, pressing volume first then letting go, trying to outspeed it, but it just won't work

at first the touchscreen didnt work, I don't really remember what I did after that and then just got stuck on recovery, now I cant even access recovery..
How do I use ADB?
EDIT, I flashed a stock rom with odin, but the kernel is probably still wrong, since I can't use the touchscreen.. but not stuck at that firmware thing anymore.. I'll try flash the kernel you recommended
EDIT 2: I can't flash it for some reason, it gets stuck at NAND Write Start!! any other kernels you can recommend?

So, you can get to download mode? Then you shouldve flashed the kernel first. And then flash stock rom through recovery mode! You dont flash a rom with odin.
ok, so where is that NAND write start showing? if its on ODIN. use another odin version, try this one by androthan http://www.mediafire.com/download/82latn22s1kl7w2/andromint-Odin3-v1.85.zip
built especially for YP-GS1 eu.
Then flash stock kernel by zaclimon. Then boot to recovery and flash stock rom through recovery.
Heres another kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43190038#post43190038 but that kernel is just for that exact rom. And some other features not working. Check out the thread!

So your phone is unbricked now? Pressing Home + Volume up + Power button is the proper mode in booting to recovery mode. Or if you could access internet on the device, install some apps that let you boot to recovery mode (like the RebootManager). The error at the samsung boot logo is perfectly normal!

First, pull the battery. Now what version of KitKat was installed on you device before you tried to flash a rom on your device? Next what rom are you trying to flash on the device ? Did you try and install the recovery that comes with the rom manager ? It is way out of date !!! Here is my thread read through it first http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-sprint/general/samsung-note-3-rom-flashin-basics-t2896440 now reinstall battery then boot into download mode and odin flash the rom you want. Which should be done after you have made a copy of your stock rooted OS. That way you have a backup in case something goes wrong !!!
i pulled battery out then back in pressed home,power,volume down, its asked volume down to cancel , volume up to install rom. i press volume down but does the same all over again..
i have kit kat, and yes i went into recovery mode with rom manager, did not know it was out of date.
ok ill follow your steps jimz and thank you for getting back to me.

OK your almost there, after you reinstall the battery. Press the power button, volume down, and menu button at the same time. A new screen will come up then press the volume up button only, now you are in download mode. ( some people call it odin mode it's the place where you flash/install roms in the device) Next bring up odin on your PC then then connect your device via the charging cable. Now click on PDA then open the OS you want flash. Then don't touch anything else and click start.
That was fast and dirty just go back to the thread for more info. Enjoy !!!
jims thanks for helping me trying to get my phone back up and running, can i ask you a question. i want to flash CyanogenMod 12 for my sprint note 3 . can you send me a link of the right C.M. version , im afraid of downloading the wrong version and damaging the phone again.. there are so many links out there it gets confusing. thank you

Here is the link for CM12 that is not a nightly build http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/development/hlte-spr-vzw-temaseks-unofficial-t2953375 and here is the link to the zip file for your device https://s.basketbuild.com/devs/temasek/Samsung Galaxy Note 3 - HLTESPR/CM12 just click download place the zip on your sd card, wipe system, wipe cache and delvik cache and flash through your recovery. ( make sure you have a backup of your stock rooted rom first ) Remember it is CM 12 some features may not work. But if your a CM fan this is the best one out there.
Here is the link to add in the Google apps http://forum.xda-developers.com/par...apps-official-to-date-pa-google-apps-t2943900 I would go with the MINI MODULAR PACKAGE just click on Basketbuild then click on download for the zip file. Place on sd card wipe cache and delvik cache then install the zip file this will give you the basic Google apps. But you can always go with the full Google package that gives you a lot of junk you won't use, which kinda defeats the purpose . Enjoy !!!

Ya, it does that sometimes. You can do a quick scan with your anti virus program. But most of the time that's normal, because your PC does not recognize the program as something you normally use. I use odin v 1.85 it is a little older but very stable here is a link https://mega.co.nz/#!oA5xzTAL!LXoVWB...ZlOMSWdRGVX6Uo this is my mega site no virus there.

[Q] I need some help Please !!!

So I made a small mistake.......
So I was running twrp to install a fresh copy of sickness V7. I ran a back up then instead of running the install i clicked wipe and before I realized it, I was erasing everything. I pulled the battery to try and save it, but no luck. She wont boot to twrp, she just stays at the pop up screen. Please help! I know this might be the best place to ask, but I love this rom and would like to side load it if possible.
Can you still get into download mode? If so you should be able to use Odin, or kies to do a fresh install, and then start over

That sounds like recovery mode, not download mode. Volume down, home button, and power button all together. Google restoring your phone using kies. If you have further issues let me know and I can write you up some instructions....

Ok if you managed to install trwp then with luck you can get into recovery now. Hold volume up button and home at the same time when you power on the phone. If trwp is correctly installed it should load. If it does not load then go here http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/43332/G900TUVU1DOB1_G900TTMB1DOB1_TMB/ and download that file. You'll have to register I believe. Others have posted this but at the moment I don't know which ones. Download that and then use the same way you installed trwp to install this. This will completely restore your phone to stock. you will need to install trwp again. From here I believe you should just be able to then install Twi5ted Lollipop.

My phone stuck at cwm

Hello guys. I am guessing that i am having problem with cwm. I followed tutorial on xda forum how to root i8552 with odin, i did all the same as says in tutorial. But when i am trying to go to cwm, with volume+power+home button, screen is blinking but cant load cwm.
I cant even enter in . Anyone got stock recovery for my phone? If i can flash that stock recovery from odin i will be thankfull.

Flash CWM with odin. Now, when the phone restarts remove the battery before it boots. Now, insert the battery after approximately a minute or so then try to enter recovery mode by using, Vol up + Power button + Home button. As soon as phone vibrates leave power button. Wait till it shows Samsung Galaxy Quattro. and then leave other two buttons too. It should boot into cwm.
At last if nothing works, do a dirty Flash stock Rom via Odin and repeat the cwm flashing process. :fingers-crossed:

I did all what you maintioned with flashing cwm and using odin. Also battery was out of phone for about 2 minutes (for any case).
So can you provide me a link for that "dirty stock rom" and give me intructions how to install it?
And one more thing. When i removed battery for more then 2 minutes, then start up phone, data and time was on system default. Same as phone when i bought it and first boot it. Also idk why, but my phone dont have sduos mark on top of screen, and has 1.6gb of internal memory. So maybe this will be helpfull.
Similar Case like yours ! ! !

Sometime back there was this guy who had almost same device as you are mentioning. You can contact and talk to him. Bcoz as per my knowledge Quattro has 5.1 User available space and Duos is written on Upper right.

By dirty flash I mean, flashing the stock rom over the current stock rom without formatting data and all. That is called dirty flash. Clean flash means wiping all data and then flash the Rom.
Take the backup of all the data and try to do a clean flash if dirty flash doesn't work.
Flashing Stock and repeating the cwm flashing process should work if every step is done as advised.
Try your luck again. :good:
What if i flash that stock rom, and then phone failed to boot. Then i will have to enter in recovery mode, but idk if i will be able to enter in...
If you flash the stock Rom properly, it should boot.

If you know how to use odin and flash the clean stock rom, it has to boot. There is no way it won't until unless you make some mistake and the flashing fails in between. After flashing the stock rom, initial boot will take long time, you need to keep patience.
Go ahead and flash the stock rom via odin.
