My Inc. won't boot and I get 5 vibrations alerts with blank screen. I can get into fastboot, tried flashing RA and Clockworks recovery which flashes, but when I go into recovery it does the same thing.
Is my phone bricked?

Plug in your usb cable then power it on.

Well I bought it as a Certified Pre-Owned, and I guess it was just bad from the beginning. It just rebooted on its own and went dead.

Keeptrying to reboot into recovery. Try various things. Like for example take the battery out and plug it into the charger and then try boot into recovery without the battery and just keep trying different things. It will go eventually.

I didn't think the phone ran without the battery, Hence the reason why it's been said not to try and flash a ROM without 25% battery.
Am I wrong there?

If you can get into hboot then go into recovery and re flash a rom. I had the same problem but got into recovery and rehashed a rom and it booted

If you unroot by flashing the RUU you will have fixed your problem and thus won't need to go to Sprint.
If you can get into recovery, you can fix the bootloops.

Why are you giving false/unverified information? I got infinite boot loop on mine, flashed it with many different things, I finally unrooted it and used the latest RUU. Guess what? its still broken.

Try holding vol up and down and plugging the USB cable in while connected to your pc. If that don't get you in download mode then your phone may be bricked.

Nothing much; just the typical rom download and CWM flash of the rom after a TDJ Super Wipe. When he rebooted the phone, no response what so ever!
Think T-Mobile can help him?

How are you trying to access recovery? While the phone is turning on hold on to both volumne rockers, the Samsung logo pops up, let go. Unless there is more info, you should still be able to access recovery and download mode. Skyrocket roms, by themselves, will not brick a T989

Maybe he broke the power button or the battery is dead and can't be charged? There's nothing you've done so far that should've resulted in a bricked phone unless your brother isn't telling you everything.

He must have done something wrong flashing then! Maybe a corrupt superwipe rom was downloaded; he was going from a gingerbread rom to jb. Oh well ...he has warranty left on it. Hopefully he can get an exchange
Thanks all for your help! Much appreciated!
find a repair center near you and ask if they have a riff box. if yes, ask them if they do JTag Ressurection. If you cant find one, google 'jtag ressurection' and look for a store called mtech service out in toronto. you can fedex them your phone and they do the repair for $50. i just hard bricked my tmo sgs2 and im sending mine out to them. my dumb ass decided to flash a .pit alongside a modem in odin. i did ALOT of research on this and they are the closest jtag repair shop to me in boston, mass. i couldnt even find a mail in center in the usa, unless you choose to go through samsung or tmobile.
Topic should explain it all.
This is a new issue I ran into while LGNPST, and I'm uable to enter recovery because of it.
I noticed that LGNPST doesn't do a full wipe also.

I did resolve it.
My phone just sometimes needs to be reconnected to a power source and the drivers read.
Then the phone will magically work after LGNPST
Oh well. Back to development now so I can brick my phone again.

Hello,
I bought a broken screen T989 from ebay. I needed the motherboard from the device. However, upon receiving device, i swapped motherboards no problem. However, i have an "Unknown" imei and baseband number.
I know there is a way to restore the IMEI from scratch on my galaxy S III (T999) but i am not sure if that method will work on the SII (Also quite afraid to as it most likely may brick it)
Does anyone know the manual method for restoring it?
Also, google lead to a bunch of promissing looking threads about the I9100 (International version) but from what i have read the T989 uses a different partition for the EFS stuff.
Thanks everyone!!
Do you know the imei number by any chance?
Don't type it btw just answer yes or no lol

I got my T-989 fixed about 30 minutes after posting my question to you. I'm just not sure which one of the steps I took was the actual bullet. But I'll post what I did here in the same order.
1. Downloaded and put onto the phone's sd card these files for future flashing back to back. They are. the "efsfix.zip" file from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1611796. Also, this rom which comes with it's own modem. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1818305. That's it. Now maybe the trick is in the steps though?
So what I did was boot into clockworkmod recovery "latest one for this phone." Used the factory reset option. Next went to mount the phone to usb option so I could access the internal memory card's files and deleted them all. I had a suspicion that maybe there's something corrupt in the data files or whatever. Really this might be silly but whatever, I did it. I still had my 2 files from before on the external sd card so no worries. Next I unmounted and disconnected from the pc. Then cleared cache again, then cleared dalvic again (I do these two steps a lot when flashing stuff back to back). Then flashed the efsfix.zip. Then clear cach, dalvic again. Then flashed the rom shown above which installed everything in one swoop like kernel, modem, system files, ect. After that finished I cleared cache, dalvic one last time. Then let it reboot.
So, it boots normally but upon the first "What is your name" screen it loads with a funky keyboard. It's a lol factor. Apparently a goof of the rom that happens sometimes. Just skip it all or figure out how to choose the T9 by using the menu key. Anyway, after changing my keyboard from inside the working settings menu to the samsung one I realized that I was so distracted by the keyboard issue that I I was just now noticing that I had a working baseband and it was connected to the network (T-Mobile) again as usual. Problem solved. Now as a last precautionary step I reboot into recovery (clockwordmod) again and use the option to backup efs folder to external sd card just for good measure. Then finally make nandroid backup of the whole working rom as well. You could probably flash any rom you want after this though. Anyway, something in there made it work so I hope it might work for you too.
So here's my dilemma. I have not noticed till yesterday but have no firmware listed on the bootloader screen of my device. I am not having any issues but I can't figure it out. Can someone tell me why its vanishing? I have reflashed it a couple times and when I reboot into bootloader its gone. Thanks in advance for any helpful insight.

Are you following the guide and performing the second flush/flash after the first one says it failed?
The process requires a second flash right after the first one, to complete the process.
Just making sure you are doing it as laid out in the guide.
Can't think of any other reason that would happen really.

I been using the current ACiP Official Nightlys. Before I ran aosb unnofficial nightly. But I didn't notice anything till after I first tried flashing your 6.0Sense Rom . Flyhalf205 twrp 2.7.0.1 wouldn't let me flash. So I am using your twrp now and playing between current acip and your Sense ROM. Oh and Liquidsmooth I flashed. All these in about the last month.
I just ran firewater on a new phone and this happened to me.
Edit: just flashed a custom splash screen and now it's back to normal.
