I just got my Gs3 Replacement and for some reason i cant get my pc to recognize the phone so i can transfer files. Do the drivers from my last Gs3 have anything to do with this?

Same Issue here, someone said to go back to stock, and then reflash everything. Let me know if you found a better solution.

Finally got it to work by just doing a factory reset. I was stock none rooted. But trying to root at the time.

This happened to me after I switched Roms, but I just did a factory reset and re flashed the ROM and it seemed to do the trick.
Gremlins I guess, always best to do a data wipe and factory reset.
You can use a regular SD card reader. JS

Yeah, but it is very important to have the ability to have your phone connect to your PC, this makes things much easier and quicker as well.
Also you can't access the internal memory of your phone, this solution just solves half of the battle.

OK....long story short...finally decided to delve into rooting and custom roms. Flashed CM6 yesterday and everything was going great. Then suddenly yesterday evening as I was swiping between home screens on my device everything froze, and I have been trying to recover ever since.
Anything I flash now just freezes, and i have a touch panel-fail so even when i do get a rom to boot i cant actually get into set it to usb mode or anything.
using bootloader i can not get it to connect using the adb driver so that I can push via adb.
about an hour ago I was successfully able to run the latest RUU and it ran successfully, but device is still way laggy (takes 15 minutes to boot) and no touch screen.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! don't know where to go from here. From what I have read its not bricked because I can get into Bootloader and Recovery???
Just a shot in the dark here, but it sounds like since you're stock now it's an actual hardware failure.

Is there way I can verify that the RUU did indeed flash *EVERYTHING* back to stock?
It seen like you have a HARDWARE issues, Re-Boot the Stock Rom. Call Sprint and explain what's going on with your phone, please *DO NO'T MENTION YOU ROOTED YOUR PHONE* Tell them you try to wipe your phone and it was really laggy before you wipe, since you gonna Re-Boot the stock rom the phone is going to get UNROOTED, I know this cause I work at Sprint... So good luck...

I definitely wont rule out hardware issues...this is a refurb device i just swapped my original EVO for on Monday. I guess I just want to rule out any software issues for sure.
You mention that re-booting the stock rom will UNROOT the phone...however I hav no way to currently re-boot the rom??
Also looks like i can not get into recovery now, when I select the option in the bootloader it just takes me to the screen with a picture of a device and a red triangle

Get a Memory Card adapter for PC or use anything that will let you connect your SD card to your computer... As soon as you put the *ORIGINAL STOCK ROM* in your SD card your phone will do everything by itself...

ok, going to try this now...
I assume I need to load it onto my sd card as the pc36IMG.zip so that i can load it from the bootloader?
you got it...just put it on the root of sdcard and good luck.

OK, so I loaded this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=874091 onto my sd card as PC36IMG.zip
It loads the zip then says parsing for about 1 second then just reverts back to the HBOOT option ???
Doesn't ask me if i want to install????
Looks like I grabbed only the OTA update rom that was posted on that page. I am going to try the odexed version on this page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=874251

I think so, on the bootloader it still shows "S-off" ...doesn't that indicate it is still unlocked?
OK, so I was able to flash the file in the bootloader. It looks like it won't load past the 'HTC EVO 4g' splash screen.
ARGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!
But the Installation finish without problems ?

Do you have KNOX on the phone? That might be causing it

I do and thanks for the response.
Since trying the install a few times I have now lost root access. Now when I try to transfer files to my phone through USB so I can root it again it always times out.
Other than the above the phone is working.
What should I do?
I just tried a different usb cable and it worked. Phone is now rooted. I'll uninstall knox and try it again.

When I rooted my S3 i9300 I had similar problems with timing out, I tried one desktop PC and a laptop, with no luck. I finally dug out an old netbook which worked - so I guess it would be worth trying a different PC if you can?
This is a link to disabling KNOX - my phone doesn't have it so I've not tried it myself http://www.androidpit.com/how-to-uninstall-knox
Hope that helps!
edit: Or a different cable lol

I have completely removed knox.
I am still getting the root may be possibly lost message. I select yes to fix root and I still get my original firmware.
There has to be someone who knows how to fix this?

Are you talking about in the recovery? if yes ignore it and choose no or get a better recovery like philz where it doesn't pester you about it.
Also this is in the wrong phone forum, this is the international version. Ill get a mod to shift it for you.
also its the i747 not 1747.

That's what I thought as well so I did a factory reset and a hard reset with the same outcome... Everything in the settings can be accessed except the (about phone) so I'm completely lost on what to do

I think it's best you send it back to where you got it then and let them have a look. Otherwise you could try flashing your original firmware again incase your current one has missing components.

Send it it back is definitely not going to happen cause I've tried that lol... But to flash the firmware wouldn't I need USB debugging checked? I hope not cause i can't get to it and is there any tutorials that could give me a step by step instructions?

This is the guide I use when flashing my stock ROM. Link
If you live outside the US then use the KDZ method.
As the title says. I'm selling this phone (not for performance issues, just I want the iPhone ), and I need a step-by-step
guide on how to COMPLETELY wipe it. No logs, nothing. Back to original out-of-the-box phone. Thank you!

Performing a full data format with a custom recovery multiple times will leave no personal information. Then you can go do your restore to stock ROM

Is this your first phone? First android phone? I mean a quick google search would of told you how to reset as well. Also factory reset is just that a factory reset that puts your phone back to factory specs like when you first got it. Also better information in your post would of been to let us know if you were rooted or not and not your bad phone purchasing choice.... j/k not really LOL
Hope you got it all sorted out if not let us know we will be more than happy to send you off the right way :good:

This is my first android phone, yes. It was rooted as well. I'm having a problem resetting though. I oem locked, flashed to stock recovery, and tried to do the adb usb thing. However, it keeps saying that it cannot read file. Please help! I reinstalled the drivers already. Thank you!

Can you boot into the OS? If not, do you know how to fastboot a factory image without wiping data?
nope i sure dont im kind of new to these.

https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-2-xl/how-to/guide-unlock-flash-root-pixel-2-xl-t3702418
And then the pic is a guide I made to flash the factory image without wiping data. Just a little FYI going forward. Twrp is kinda borked right now, it won't decrypt data properly with lock screen security enabled, so you have to set it to swipe or none before you can effectively use twrp. Stick to it my friend, you'll get it figured out :good:
So after like 20 installs i was able to get it up and running again so this week i'll root and rom the phone again and i'll follow your guide so i can get the boost mod to work thank you so much for all your help.
