Bricked

I think I have bricked my phone. Im pretty tech savvy I have had around 5 phones and have rooted all phones. I flashed a rom I had not seen before in rom manager. It is called minium 1.0.7. It flashed fine and I hit reboot and my phone did nothing. So I did a battery pull for about 3mins and put it back in and it wont boot at all. Is there anyway I can get it to come alive again. Thanks

Its pretty much not safe to flash stuff from rom manager anymore. Tons of stuff that isn't for our phone shows up in there now, huge problem. But more than likely you are bricked. Only hope you have is holding volume up+down at the same time, and plugging in the usb cord until the "warning" comes up. If that does not work, you have no hope. If download mode actually does come up, i will point you in the right direction to fixing your phone.

I just sent my phone back to Samsung for warranty when I bricked mine. If it wont boot at all 99.9% chance they just send you a refurb.

Ok, I have tried that and it wont respond to anything I think its dead. To tmobile I go. Thanks for the help though.

Bricked a previous gs2 with ROM from other gs2 forums. Sent it to Samsung and replaced under warranty free. Recently picked up this one and wishing I never sold the previous one

Try putting it in download mode by using an official LG usb cord and plugging it into a wall socket. I know the LG cords have the constant power wire switched so you might be able to do that. I have seen it done before.

Talked to my awesome tmobile friend and she has a new one coming Wed and only cost $5 to replace. Thanks guys for all your advice.

Samsung website, register the phone and information is on there. Took about 10 days or less for it to get back.

Just got my replacement in and I have noticed it doesn't have a lockscreen. I have rebooted and and turned the screen on and off. The screen turns on and without having to go thru a lockscreen.
The other thing I noticed is if my hold down my power button my phone turns off. It doesn't prompt me to put it airplane mode or anything. It doesn't even ask me if I want to shut down it just does. Can't get a custom rom on thus fast enough.

Dramatic Difference In Screen Quality (PIC Added)

I just received my replacement t989 from TMobile, and realized my original phone's screen quality was horrible! I powered them on side by side, and my new phone looks clear as day with bold colors, and my original phone looks distorted and VERY yellow! I will post pictures after work. Has anyone else noticed this?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

Yes. Also got a replacement recently and I can attest the screens have gotten better on the newer-made phones.

Updated OP with a picture I took of them side by side. You can clearly tell which one is which.

Same here, my previous t989 screen was crappy and the moment I turned on my replacement phone I noticed a huge difference with the screen quality, felt like I am using a whole new phone.

I think the replacement just has a better screen. I don't see them degrading to that extent, especially in this short of time.
If you have insurance T-Mobile discounts the exchange to only $5 and you get free overnight shipping.

[Q] How much to fix a bricked sg3 with samsung?

My screen got damaged on my sg3 and i have the chance to buy a bricked one for 150 to change the screen but my question is , how much would it cost for samsung to fix the bricked one ?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

You can fix the bricked one for 60 on top of the 150 at mobile tech videos... Here is the link... http://mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-jtag-brick-repair/
If you send the broken one to samsung it will run you about 180 for a new screen. so decide which route you want. You don't have insurance?

Cops won't waste the resources for a phone that is not worth it.

Report it to T-Mobile and they will put the IMEI on a black list that it can never be used again...

I got a replacement via asurion
I'm not sure whether my stolen phone was imei blacklisted but they said it's now deactivated.
Actually pretty happy because my phone had tons of lines and a few scrapes+ scratched

Samsung should have one of those..
