I wanted to see if it's possible to recover a bricked s3. Which forum should I be explaining and asking my question?
@Frankiefaithful: you found it yet. Go 1 level up and use search this forum. Look for bricked.

Hi everyone I am Sean, and I just got my ATT SGS2 Yesterday. I think I followed a rooting guide for the non ATT one. The rooting was successful but my WIFI is down with no MAC Address, also I cannot seem to get any custom rom working.
Is there a way to get the Stock ATT Kernel so I can flash and start over. Is there a rooting guide specificly for the ATT version?
Thanks ahead of time!

If u flashed the wrong kernel, go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1294574. Not trying to be mean, but it took me less then a minute of skimming over the Android development section to find this.
Here is the normal rooting guide, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1301682.

Umm, Sorry I wasn't aware I should be looking in the Development section? Since that isn't the right section...?

Please read *before* you post a question. There is a lot of information available on the XDA I777 forums. Please read all the stickies in the general section, as well as the library sticky in the development section. You've been on xda-developers for several years and made many posts, so you *should* know the forum rules. People here will be glad to help you if you do your part first, but if you are looking to have your hand held, you will probably get little help.

Excuse me, I did read. Why would I look in the development section for a troublshooting issue? Please do not post unhelpful comments like that. You obviously can't comprehend the issue fully.

It's just that your questions are already answered in sticky posts in both the general forum and the development forum. I thought it would be better if you wnet and read the answers there rather than taking the time to write the answers all over again.
You clearly didn't read if you went and flashed something not meant for your device without VERY explicit instructions on what is OK to flash and how to flash it.

Actually as I have already explained I did read plenty, I found nothing in the Q&A Section, which is where a solution to a "Question" should be.
And the Guide I followed which was from XDA never once stated that it was only for the International version. Nor did it say it would not work for the AT&T version.
I have been with this community a long time and have never had someone as rude or unhelpful as you. Please do not reply to posts if you are not helping in anyway.
Even though you may have read threads in the Q&A section, a simple search would have pulled up the IMPORTANT threads taht are located in the Dev section that would have answered your questions... and why are they in the Dev section you ask? Because, when flashing anything to your phone like a rom or kernel, its considered DEVELOPMENT and you would have know that if you would have read.
Now go read some more and search. Thread closed.

you have posted the same thread twice, I don't think that is going to change anything. most likely a moderator will eliminate one of them. you had 231 views and only 2 people attempt to help.
did you try my suggestion of posting in the sub forum in the general area? I really think you have a better chance of a response there. as I said in your other thread, I read of others who had similar problems. cant do it for you, you have to help yourself first. I understand your frustrated, but a second post in same area will not fix your problem.
the sub forum is for your device specifically.

no need to apologize, just trying to help.
actually, I just looked over in GENERAL forums again and noticed there are at least 3 threads over there for Korean device users. 2 of those threads have 100,000 or more viewers. I would say that's where your help is going to be.
hope I have helped

Can someone please help me step by step how to root S3 i9300 and install recovery and custom rom? Or can anyone link a good video tutorial?
Is it safe to use ROM manager to install a recovery? I know some years ago that program was not safe.

I knew someone would say that and I would say that myself to people if I was experienced, but I am asking because I want to be sure, the sticky threads and all that can be old information, there may be new versions out etc..
But okey, nvm guys I figure it out myself.
even being old the process remains the same... just folow the instructions in this link and you will be rooted

Hello,
one of my friends got her S3 stuck in a boot loop, it can go into recovery and it is detected by odin. So I thought I could just flash the official firmware and this may fix it.
I went over to sammobile but they changed something with the firmware section since the last time I was there.. I can't find older firmware.
The phone is I9300 and I am looking for the latest firmware for Egypt.
Do you guys have any idea what I should do?
Alternatively, I am trying to save the data here, do you know of any non wipe firmware? I am trying to get her phone up without losing data.
Any help is appreciated
Thanks!
Questions go in the q&a forum, report your own post and ask a moderator to move it.
If you want the latest firmware then just download it from Sammobile.com, you will have to factory reset before it will boot.

I have looked into the Q&A but I didnt feel my question falls in there, as Q&A is mainly about the S3.
I have looked at the threads containing a collection of official firmware but nothing related to Egypt.
I did my search before I post. I could not reach a desirable result that is why I asked.
Apart from that, thank you for your answer. I hope someone else can help me with an answer that will resolve my problem.
Thank you.
Note: funny thing about your quote, I already mentioned I looked in Sammobile and didnt find Egypt. Missed to read that?

You don't need to install an Egyptian firmware on your friends S3. You can basically install any firmware made for the GT-i9300. Doesn't matter from what country it says its from.

I didn't miss reading that, it was irrelevant as you had missed the basics issue. Don't ignore the posting rules, they do apply to you.
Tovagulet - Thank you
boomboomer - I apologize if I missed the posting rules. Again, I didn't feel my question fit.
Thanks for your help

I almost never find xda search useful. if i search for something on google often i find it leading to a page on xda. so in my opinion google finds answers on xda better than xda search . just saying
