[Q] Hardbricked Flashed international Rom SGH-i747

Hard bricked Att model Galaxy S III i was being a dumbass and accidentally flashed a international Rom and when i plug my phone to the outlet without a battery it has a red light on, when theres a battery in and its plugged in the phone shows no light or anything Can a Jig work for this? Any tips or help
oh ya and it shows up that qhsub_dload when i plug it in to my laptop

It is not hardbricked.. just softbricked but seriously read the titles and ****.. people have recovered from it just go searching around or wait for a reply with a link.
I can not stress enough.. READ EVERYTHING or else.
Edit: See if it shows up in odin, if odin sees it can you flash one of the stock SGS III AT&T roms.

Yea jigs wont work but see if you can get it in download mode and flash a stock img for your phone not the international one

FYI .. JIGS do work for the SGSIII .. I still have my JIG from when I was using my SGSII SkyRocket .. this JIG works on the SGSIII with no problems .. I use it all the time when putting my phone back to AT&T Stock through ODIN (rather than using the key combo).

its not soft bricked i cant get to download mode at all and the boot up logo doesnt show up either

Your phone is a doorstop. You ****ed the partitioning and overwrote the bootloader with nonsense. No, jigs are useless here. You need jtag to fix it__ http://mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-jtag-brick-repair/

When you used a JIG on the SGIII were you hardbricked? did it still take you to download mode?

A jig will help you if your phone boots but won't enter recovery and download mode but if your phone doesn't boot at all, not even a vibration, the jig won't work. Your safest bet is to take it back to the store and get a new one. They won't check if it is rooted. Worst case scenario if your not under warranty anymore, they may repair it and charge you .

Well, if you have no warranty, try with the store anyway. If they don't want to help you, you'll have to deal directly with Samsung's customers service. They may charge the repair but they'll get it fixed.

[Q] Hard Bricked Tmobile Galaxy S3?

Yes, I too hard bricked my t999 but funny thing is I've didn't flash any roms. Here's what happened, I was already on Wicked V5 rom, I went to the galaxys3root.com and downloaded MIUI for Tmobile gs3. When I tried to restart my phone to recovery mode the phone just turned off and never turn on again. Someone please help me. I don't really have time to send my phone to Texas, does anyone know any other ways to fix this? Is there service around NJ or Philly area?

Have you done all the usual? Pull battery wait a few put it back in and try to get into recovery or download mode?

so it seems that the common issue here is that u both downloaded MIUI from the same wepage... I would think a malicious download... and in all Honesty I had bad experiences the guy's tut.... (with the guy running the site) I dunno I dont want to point finger or nothing but 2 people with same problem?? I suspect treachery afoot... lol
scratch that... I scanned MIUI Zip file and it contained no threats... so I'm guessing a hardware mulfuction?? or simply u got a bad phone.

Try Samsung warranty since you can't get into download mode they shouldn't know it's rooted. I wouldn't say this is a user error since you didn't even flash a rom

Dont you have regular tmobile warranty? the phone wont power on, no water damage, sounds like a clear cut case of getting your phone swapped out for you.

Just bought a S3 from Craigslist -- May be bricked?

Hi,
I just bought a Pebble Blue S3 from craigslist without checking it out properly. (I know, shame on me). The phone is in physically mint condition, the water damage tab is not red and there are no signs of dropping.
The phone's screen does NOT turn on. When I hold the power button to have it load up normally, I can hear the T-mobile jingle and then a constant blue indicator would stay on the top left corner.
I have tried flashing it back to stock through download mode (Power, volume down, and home --> volume up mode) and it seems to make no difference to the screen's issue.
Flashing it back to stock might have made it worse because I can't even access the phone's internal memory through USB anymore.
Any help towards fixing my screen would be great!
Thanks.

So out of curiosity how much did you pay for a phone that you did not check to see if it turned on?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

I paid $250 for it, came with original box and accessories. I thought it was too good to be true, and it seems that way. At worse I can probably break even and sell it as-is.

Is the battery low?

What does windows report it as in device manager?
If you can get to download mode it may not be hard bricked.
You could flash twrp recovery with idin, then boot recovery and try flashing something from thrre.
Also twrp has a builtin file manager so you can try to see if you can find sny problems that way. (Look for logfiles)
Are you sure its an SGH-T999?

I was able to access download mode by clicking around in the dark.
Positive it is a SGH-T999, before I flashed the stock PDA in ODIN, Windows Device manager would list that. How do I flash TWRP? Do I need the screen to do it?
Oh the battery is fully charged.

Here is the thread for TWRP. But you get to download mode by starting with the device completely powered off, then pressing the volume down, home and power button at the same time until it powers on. I dont understand what you meant by "I was able to access download mode by clicking around in the dark"

Button mashing I guess?
And just fyi, to boot recovery from power off
Hold volume up, home and power. When you see blue text flash on top of the screen release.
Also, flashing recovery in Odin will trip the flash counter. Prob doesn't matter considering the situation, but just so you know.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

If you can get the phone in download mode, odin back to stock. Then boot into recovery using power +home + vol up and do a factory reset. This step is important. I borked my phone with a bad jb install and using odin on its own doesnt completely reset the phone. Using the factory reset fixed this in my situation

Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

By saying I'm able to access recovery mode, I got in by basically doing the sequence of buttons, without seeing any display on the screen. I know it is in download mode because it reads on ODIN.
No matter what I click or what mode it is in, the screen is still completely off. Sorry for the confusion.

Well that's a different story lol. Seems like a hardware fault. If you feel comfortable, take it apart and check all connections. And use a very bright light to look for any cracks on the LCD (not the digitizer) but the underlying LCD.

I've had Samsung service my SGS1 that I bought off Kijiji while it was still within its one-year warranty. It doesn't just apply to the original owner, just call them and tell them it was a gift, they'll ask for the phone's IMEI, and then they'll be able to tell if it is still within its warranty period.

Well Im desperately trying to find anyway to avoid jtag expenses, i took.it to a sprint tech i know who deals with this stuff after i had exhausted my options .He said jtag it . Earlier today i made a 300kohm 1/2 watt jig but to no luck it wouldnt force dload mode?
Ive been reading on this other explored method of sd card unbricking using a jig and tweezers to trip a resistor on the board and manually flash a new bootloader it seems..very very very complicated
And noone has succesfully done this as far as i know.
All i did was accidentally flash my old gsm note 2 t889 backup ,jedi master10 rom, when i meant to flash jedi invasion I overlooked the words master for invasion after it flashed it said
Install failed in RED and No OS installed at top then i realized what i did and tried to Save my a** and restore my nandroid that failed also ,then i tried to dig myself out this mess and flash the only other t999 zip rom i had on my sd and that failed Said no OS Installed on top after i rebooted never could reboot again Not even 3button.works for dload mode

I don't know all the specifics in your case, but I can tell you this about a hard or a soft bricked phone.
Plugging a Jig into any android phone is safe and will not harm it at all regardless of it's condition.
If the phone is hard bricked it will not go into download mode even with a Jig.
It makes no difference what the issue or problem is with the phone, simply
plugging a Jig into it will either get you into download mode or it won't.
The way you can tell if the phone is hard bricked is if the phone's screen and or
led's do not light up at all even with a known charged battery and regardless
of which button or combination of buttons are depressed.
If the phone vibrates it usually means that it's not hard bricked.
Hard bricked phones are DEAD they show no signs of life at all
that's why they are called BRICKS.
One of the nice things about the jig is that it can work even if the computer
does not recognize the phone when it's normally plugged into the usb port.
So if your phone is NOT hard bricked my suggestion would be to plug in the
Jig get it into download mode and have Odin ready with the stock or stock
rooted Tmobile Jellybean v4.1.1 firmware ready to flash using the TAR file.
Good Luck!

S3 ATT Bricked Black Screen Will Not Boot.

Hey everyone. Thanks in advance. I have searched the forums, the web. Ended up here. I rooted my phone, added carbon rom. With goo download I think it was called. "Goo" something. Now my phone is dead. Will not boot to download mode. Will not turn on at all. The only time I can get anything response from the phone is when I pull the battery plug it in and hold the three buttons. The light stays red, but that is all. No activity from the screen. I have read the phone is "hard bricked" and that I basically need to buy a new phone. I hope that is not the case. Any help is much appreciated. Sorry if this is a repeat post, but after hours of research and no specific answers I felt this what the only way.
Thanks again!

My two suggestions...
1. Hold up (or was it down?) volume, home and power all at the same time. Until you get a reaction. Then figure it out from there
2. Your phone is done for.. Find out where the closest att service center is and say your phone screwed up during an update of theirs. Or just say your phone stopped working and hope for the best
A main question is, does your computer recognize your phone at all?

Thank you for the response. I tired 1 a hundred times and no luck. 2 is my next step tomorrow. BUT the weird thing, is if i pull the battery and plug it in the red charge light shows red. Also, having a PC the computer does the beep as if you plugged in something via USB. This i just recently discovered. Although i really dont think it matters. I also tried making a jig, no luck either. Most likely fail on my end with that.
At this point in time I think the best bet will be the ATT store. Unless someone has another solution, that is the only way I see it being fixed. Gotta read the details when you mess around with this stuff. Now I am paying the price.

Does Odin recognize it when you plug it in to the computer? Keep in mind you need the right drivers for it to recognize a working phone... And this is a longshot to day the least

this thread is open in like 2 other forums, including the i9300. this device was probably flashed with an incorrect models firmware and is hard bricked.

No its does not. Oden did detect the phone prior to this.

One other forum the 19300 yes. Got flamed good too. Seems like a hand full of people like to chastise more than help. Couldnt figure out how to delete the original thread. In all my frustration as is, I played the F it card. You are right about 2 things though. It was flashed with wrong software, and yes it is hard bricked.

Thats what I am thinking too. Lesson learned.
Thanks

Well went to att. They gave me a new phone. They couldnt turn it on either. Guess when it comes to this just act stupid and see what they will do for you.

Good job. I did the same thing with my captivate a while back!
Always remember to check compatibility. If unsure, keep reading the thread or ask.

Till you see a charge on your bill, showing a modified phone. Soon as the techs report that it has been rooted and so on. Happen to one of my friends. You may see a surprise on your bill....beware

It's unlikely but it can happen.
