Try to put your phone in download mode, using the key combination (volume up/volume down) at the same time, then plug in your USB cable that will put you in download mode, and then use Odin to flash Bubby stock kernel. If you have access to recovery, (volume up/volume down/power) and let go the power as soon you can see the Samsung logo, then just flash the last ROM you were using before your mistake. This is if you already have a ROM that you can flash via CWM in the SDCARD of your phone. If you don't have a CWM ROM in your SD Card ODIN is your best friend. Hope this can help you.

You can try to exchange calling Tmobile and tell them that something wierd happen to your phone, and you don't know what is going on. Don't tell them about the flashing; that happened to me one time with my Vibrant, and they exchanged no questions asked. No charges or fees. Hope this can help you.

Nice! New phone, over night shipping, and lesson learned! I'm still waiting for my phone to be mailed here... They say Wednesday

Nice, Samsung loses some money, the world dies due to carbon emissions from delivery and you get a replacement phone for the one you broke.

They are trained to say that. If you call tech support they will also say the same thing.. Which is highly doubtful that out of the millions of customers you would be the first with phone issues.

any help would be great!!!
hope everything i typed makes sense if not ill clarify

dont know what to tell ya man....im in a hole right now and i see no light either...
i was on codename and the phone was fine for a whole day and a half. i uncderclocked it to 800mhz and undervolted 100mv and the phone ran beautiful for a day and a half. then all of a sudden like two hours ago it froze. went in to a bootloop. trying to figure this out right now...odin wont recognize my phone at alllllll

ICS isn't unstable you just messed up basically. This is why you should read the brick threads and warnings first about flashing between ICS. And gingerbread. Your phone sounds like it's bricked. Sorry dude.
As for the guy with the boot loop. You're probably not bricked you just need to try and get into download mode and odin a stock rooted rom. How long did you pull the battery for?
Under volting can cause boot loops but your issue could be a combination. I would post in the brick thread. Someone experienced with that problem can help you.
I recommend pulling the battery and waiting an hour or so then redo it.
Good luck!

That's possible if its some proprietary cable. These phones use a standard mini USB to USB so any standard generic cable should work. I use a really thick and durable Logitech cable that came with a mouse, or sometimes a generic super long one I have that's like 10 feet

Ok u guys to to read the OP again for what your flashing you cannot flash any ROM from ICS right now it has a high risk of brick if your going to flash an ICS ROM the best bet is from a cwm based kernal like EL26 not Rogue and you shud be back on GB so use one of SFhub packages it takes an extra 10 minutes tops

Wow. Now you're spreading more misinformation. You certainly can flash roms from ICS recovery its just not 100% safe in all versions and flavors.
Its generally user error that's causing the bricks. The OP will usually claim he did everything perfect but 99% of the time it comes out sooner or later they did something wrong out of haste or neglect.
You're not necessarily helping though with your false info. No offense intended I just don't want you further confusing some poor noob who takes your word...
And just to further clarify: yes odin'ing stock EL26 is safer than flashing from ICS based CWM.

@Carbajal, yes it's your LG cable. I have same problem with same cable (from Optimus S). Sammy cable will fix it if you still have it. I forget the specific reason why but in layman's terms it was explained to me that the Sammy cable may have a longer pin which triggers the recognition. If you search the Q&A forum you should be able to find the thread.

As you didn't clarify it before, did you try the Sammy cable provided with the phone? If that isn't doing it you may want to check Device Manager (assuming Win PC) and make sure nothing is disabled or not working properly. I mention this as it happened to me once when I tried to reassign the COM ports to use CDMA Workshop.

Word!
It freaked me out when I first tested this phone months ago since I came from Optimus S also. Didn't want to unpack all the accessories so just used the cable that came with the LG Optimus S, would charge, but no data. Thought the USB port on the E4GT was busted. Then tried 2 more LG Optimus S cables with the same result. Was about to return the phone when on a whim unpacked the flimsy looking Samsung cable and voila, it worked.
That flimsy looking Samsung cable has gotten me through over 300 flashes now w/o ever having a cable related problem.

ross, this is your problem. i'm in the same boat. in that thread, someone was able to repartition the /data partition to his sdcard and it worked (albeit at the cost of sdcard space). worth a shot, but keep up with that thread as it's pretty active.

Thanks guys who inputed about that LG cable. I took me a while to find my original sammy cable!! but my phone workds again and im soooooo happy. Thanks a bunch.

I did this sunday morning, trying out AOKP. Read that there was a possibility for corruption, did it anyway. after deciding it was too buggy for my liking as a daily driver, i attempted to go back. Tried my USB Jig with no luck.
Took it into Sprint on Monday, an hour later the tech tells me its toast. (Tell me something I don't know). I tried so hard to weasel out a new White model.
I've got a refurb'd black model and i'm suspecting there's a few issues with it. Its completely stock, no root. I've had to reboot four times today already from not turning on or coming out of sleep. Then every so often the phone will not stop vibrating during a haptic feedback response. I've turned haptic and vibrate off, but it still locks up on occasion. Funny but weird as hell. Probably gonna take it in later this week and try my luck again at getting a new model.

[Q] E4GT BRICK plz help

my e4gt doesnt turn on only the blue notif. light (faintly)plz help

Look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1525495

You're bricked. Congrats.
Next time read before you flash.

There's no coming back from that one. Next time, read, read some more, and read more after that before you try anything! Best thing you can do now it break the **** out of it and make an insurance claim with a bull**** believable story and pay the $100 deductible.
Good luck.

i bet the farm u fried your battery. I've done this to my et4g and my sister did it just last week to hers. it usually happens when the phone over heats while on the charger. the battery goes completely and won't take enough to trip it on the inside. Even with the phone plugged in, with or without the battery. if u can access another battery with a charge on it im 98% ull boot right up. trust me on this one

Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA

It would seem you haven't read enough. Its heavily advised that you NEVER flash to or from ICS (or wipe or flash anything from a non el26 recovery while on ICS) on anything other than el26 recovery and kernel. That's probably how you bricked originally.

Hard Bricked My SIII

I hard bricked my SIII the other day and the phone us completely dead. When I plug it into a computer I hear the connection sound and the disconnection sound and when my battery is taken out the LED lights up red and goes away in about a minute. Can't get into recovery or download mode. I called Samsung and they said they will flash it to stock for free. My phone was rooted. Does anyone know if they will be able to find out if my phone was rooted considering the thing is completely dead?

If you cannot get into any mode they will more than likely just jtag it into download and flash a factory image.

To answer your question, no they wont. I did the same thing and TEP with Sprint and got a brand new phone in box the next day. No charge to me and they never came back even though it was rooted.

That would definitely have to be the case.

Thanks guys!! The SIII is a truly awesome phone and I am actually going crazy because after using that phone for so long,every other phone just sucks and doesn't compare to that of the SIII. I am taking it to the UPS Office on Monday and hopefully i can get it back soon. My life pretty much revolves around that phone. It's sad, i know, but i cant help it lol

Yeah, it is quicker to TEP the phone and get a new one the next day, but it's also much more expensive ($150 vs. $60). Which one is "better" really depends on your situation. If you have the money and can't wait for a repair (due to work, family, etc), the $150 deductible (and one-day turnaround) is a great option. If money is tight (as it is for a lot of us), the 10 days is much more palatable than the extra $90.
To each his own, I say.

[Q] Epic in SUPER SLOW SLOW MODE. (kinda bricked)

Ok so a little after midnight i rebooted my phone cuz it was being flaky.
Then it got stuck on the Cyanogen SGS boot screen from PAC 20.1 I tryed to ODIN cwm-5.0.2.7-epic4g.tar.md5. I got that to stick but every time i would flash a rom it would get stuck and end up and the samsung boot screen again. i tryed to flach cm9.1 and it hang at the BLM MTD part for a very long long time. then it went to the gray screen(the backgound of cwm 6) so that didn't work. So i tryed to ODIN stock EL30 EC05 just like hear http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1052813
Well that ended with the phone booting up after about 40 minues. But i could not unlock the dam thing. So i did it again & left it for an hour & now its just siting there 12:19 on the clock but i cant unlock the phone. the sprint 4G boot aniy was/is all chopy and the sound cuts in and out. IDK i think my Epic is Epicing F(ced
(i'v been ODINing & reading xda all night:crying: )
Any ideas?

How about just going back to 100% stock FC09? Use re-partition, and you may even want to consider EFS clear (unless not on Sprint). Try that and let it run on that for a day. Note any issues that appear.
If no issues, then try to flash another rom.
Worst case scenario, your flash memory is on it's last leg and heading to become kaput. Flash memory only has so many reads & writes before it kicks the bucket. Constant flashing of roms over the lifetime of this phone diminishes the lifespan faster than a regular user.
A regular user wouldn't even come close to the read/write red zone for this flash memory, but a custom rom user/tester could (especially given the age of our phone).

Which is precisely why I find a somewhat stable ROM and stick with it for about 3 months, then i update/switch ROMs

I typically only flash stable roms and stick with one for 4-8 months before doing a fresh Odin, re-root and new rom flash. I'm your normal user here; I stick with what I know works.

A big ole nothing. I've tried to get discounts and upgrade fees waived before, and they have given nothing. I'm a 10+ year customer.
Once a nicer than Nexus 4--Nexus device comes out, or if Sprint's suck-tacular service becomes even more sucky, I'm jumping to T-mobile.

SGS III Purple for $0.99 FTW
I really loved my Epic & i'l be back around the forums, my buddy has a busted Epic so maybe i can make one working phone out of the two.:good:

zman I have the EXACT problem with my Epic 4g, it's brand new I have only had it a handful of days and I haven't a clue as to what caused this error, my clock also reads 12:19 and the screen is unresponsive, so I can't slide unlock the screen to get usb debugging checked either. I am by no means new to android, flashing roms or anything else so this wasn't some noob error on my part.
I have messaged QBKing77 and he is as perplexed as I am, and well I figure if he can't figure it out, we might just be screwed.
Did you get yours fixed? If so could you please share what you did.

If i get it fixed I'll be sure to let you all know how i did it.
