Bricked s3 :/ - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Earlier today, I downgraded the firmware from my straighttalk galaxy s3 from stock H2 to H1 and then proceeded to root it, which went fine. After this, I installed CWM recovery and cyanogenmod, once I booted into cyanogenmod, I ran into a bug/glitch which didn't allow my rom to use my mobile data, so after that, I installed android revolution hd. This is where I ran into my problem, I went into CWM and factory reset my phone and wiped all caches, after this I proceeded to install android revolution HD, only to find out that it only shows a black screen, I also cannot use adb, but my computer still recognizes my phone as connected.
PS:
If I leave the battery out and plug in the USB, I get a brief solid red light
The phone WILL NOT go into recovery or download
No boot screen or error
Any and all help you guys can offer is well appreciated as I was not expecting this to happen

Hello imjimbob,

Can you tell me a bit more please, and is there any way to fix it?
How would my phone screen break from flashing a ROM?

Can anyone please please help I have searched and searched but really don't know what to do?

[Q] GT i9300 Urgent Help

Good Evening/Hello/Hi,
I own a Samsung Galaxy S III GT-i9300 International Version. I recently started experimenting with roms and cwm and i think i ended up in a dark tunnel. I rooted my phone and installed clockwork (cf auto root) and then tried installing KitKat Rom 4.4 but kept failing each time i entered recovery and tries to flash it. by reading other posts it was suggested to use a higher version of cwm as i was using a 5.0.4.6 version. after trying a later version the rom flashed and also the gaps without any problem. however after booting i realized i had no service, but the phone seemed ok. i decided to flash modem_XXDME4 and Modem DDEMG2 in recovery after reading some posts to get signal back. that's when the trouble started, when the phone rebooted i could not get pass the setup screen to select language, touch is not responding up to this time, i reflashed stock rom, it booted and still no touch , cant get pass the start screen of the language selection. my phone never fell and the creen has no sign of falling. any help would be greatly appreciate.....:crying::crying:
Thank You

[q] gti8262 > phone doesn't start

Hi XDA members, I came here because I'm tired and I cant'd do anything more, I need help
Ok so first I had a Samsung Galaxy Core Duos GTI8262, original, no modified, android 4.1.2, everything all right.
Then I starded to try to install a costum ROM with 4.4. I rooted it, and then I found a CMW Recovery and I had installed it via Odin307, but it didn't work because it was not compatible with my phone, it was crashing all the time and the phone used to make noises, like an engine working or something, and then it shuts down. Then after much search I found here in XDA a costum Recovery Based in CMW for my phone, "CMW based Recovery v6.0.4.7".
I installed it via Odin307 under the previous CMW that dint work properly, and finally everething went all right, I installed a ROM with KitCat, then another with Lillicop, etc... then I wanted to try Cynogen, it was in my model devolopment and I installed it, bigger mistake, it didn't recognize SIM card such as Wifi, Bluethoth, etc... no conections. I get tired because with all my Download mode started to get stuck, so, I could not install another ROM, so, angry, I went to based CMW Recovery and I formatted EVERYTHING, until get to the point where there wasn't ANY file in SDCARD0, I tried to make factory Reset, didn't work, so I turn the phone On and the logo "Galaxy Core Duos GTI8262" stays there forever... the phone doesn't start.
THEEN... i downloaded the stock ROM here in XDA to my model (I'm Portuguese (Portugal)), and tried to install it via Odin207. I was waiting that the Download Mode got stucked again but I tried it in the same way, because I didn't knew what to do more. BUT, instead of get stuck, the Download Mode only stays for aprox. 5 seconds, then the phone shuts down... SO > nothing in SDCARD0 (and the CWM Based doesn't have the option to install anything in extSDCard I dont know why...) and Download Mode crashes... without pay nothing, WHAT CAN I DO PEOPLE? :crying:
Please help, sorry my English...

[Q] Galaxy S2 GT-I9100 hard bricked

Hi guys, I`m new to this forum and I wouldn`t be posting this topic if I found a solution on other forums. If anyone had a problem like mine, or saw a thread before, I would appreciate if you pasted a link to the solution, or gave some kind of advice.
First of all, I`m new to rooting, custom roms, etc., so I guess that whatever I did, it was my fault. I got this Galaxy S2 (GT-I9100) as a gift, and since i already had a phone, I wanted to take a risk and take a shot at installing a lollipop rom. I watched a few tutorials, it seemed simple enough, so i thought why the hell not, but in the process something went wrong...
Sooo... here is what I`ve done:
1.) Rooted my phone with VROOT
2.) Flashed custom recovery with ODIN. I`m not sure which version of CWM it was, 6.0.4.5 I think (the file is named CWM KitKar compatible-I9100). When I flashed CWM, my phone didn`t boot up. All I got was a Samsung Galaxy logo and a yellow triangle for a few seconds before my screen went black again, but I could still access both recovery mode and download mode using the combination of keys.
3.) And then I did what I think screwed up my phone. I thought maybe flashing a lollipop rom through recovery would solve the issue (maybe the recovery is incopatible with my older stock rom and it`s the reason why my phone isn`t booting). So i flashed CM12 from galaxys2root.com. It`s called CM12.1S ROM for Galaxy S2 GT-I9100 (Andorid 5.1)
Not only it didn`t solve my problem, I still can`t get my phone to boot (now I get a samsung logo and a yellow triangle, but screen doesn`t go black after a few seconds, I left it in this state till the battery ran out and still nothing). And on the top of all things, I can`t get my phone to recovery mode anymore, all I get is the yellow triangle. I can still get it into download mode, but it doesn`t connect with my PC anymore. It charges, but I can`t connect it with ODIN anymore. And the weirdest thing is, when I connect it to PC, my other USB port goes crazy and disconnect my USB Wi-Fi adapter
What went wrong? Any advice is highly anticipated. :good:
