Try that thread, but there's a good chance you hard-brickedit. Like a paperweight.

Yes, that is a I9300 rom, while I have a SGH-I474. I know, I made a mistake.

I can't even bring the phone to download mode. Already tried pressing all the combination keys, it's still won't power up. I'm ordering a USB Jig to try to get it to download mode. At this point, it is hard bricked.
Go through the motions of getting into dl mode. See if Odin recognizes it, even though the screen is black.
I tried the motion, it's a hardbrick, gonna send it in to mobiletechvideos to see if they can fix it.

It's your choice whether you want to root your phone or not but I suggest just taking the time to read everything what form what section of the form what carrier what are the bugs what are the risks. I have been rooting phones for about two years now and I have never booked a device because I read that I read again and then I use the search function.

I'm fairly a noob when it comes to rooting and whatnot, however i've learned quite a bit since i've started. I rooted nexus s with no hassel. My friend the other day gave me a LG Nitro HD, the phone boots shows the LG logo then goes to the Clockworkmod touch 5.8.2. I have tried installing roms on it, it will install the rom and run then when i try to reboot, the soft keys will flash for 2 mins before showing the LG logo and going back to the Clockworkmod again. Keep in mind there is nothing on the SD card besides the signed_HO!NO!_p930 i have tried other os's too. I don't know exactly what he did to his phone. Please help me out. Thanks a bunch guys :laugh:

I am going to stop bye a shop were I know a guy that does rooting and such and take the phone to see...Will keep you posted from this side anxious to read what others may say.

I know I cannot get into download mode, Will be interested to see if Lugman can or not ... So unbricking is not an option at this point for me. Tried that yesterday also.
Lugman please post any progress sounds though we are in the same river of CWM... Why the HOX is so easy compared to this ....
Try charging it then do a battery pull then plug in the USB while holding the volume update. This should bring up a screen saying download mode. Then unbrick from there.

I had almost the same exact problem, except mine was from trying to flash a zImage that I built. My symptoms were exactly like yours. The phone is hard bricked and can only be revived through jtag. Also a usb jig had no effect on my bricked phone.

Didn't mean to thank you wanted to quote. Can you get into recovery at all. The sr forum roms can be without an issue be installed into our devices even koodoo. Might need a rotation fix but they are all compatible. Pls post what recovery, what rom and the steps taken to flash the aforementioned rom. I will try my best to help you out and get you back to flashing again...

no recovery at all.phone is completely dead.i cant remember what rom it was sorry brain fart.i flash new roms all the time and followed to a tee.after i flashed i i hit reboot system frolm recovery mode and my phone and screen went blank and thats when it died.like i mean absolutely nothing.600 dollar paper weight
2 options.. mobiletechvideos.com or warranty exchange... or last resort you can try and jig it yourself...
On the other hand is there anyway to test the battery? Could be a dead cell and that could cause you not to be able to turn on. ... try this, go into your nearest tmo store and see if you can test with one of their batteries. They should do that without any charge.

Right. so this is what happened. My friend rooted his s3 and.. well.. he played where he shouldnt have. he went into recovery mode and formatted everything because he thought format was a good thing -.- (that was until I told him it meant delete), so after I gave him a ROM to install, cause evidently he had erased his system.... after the installation, it said completed, then asked him to restart the phone, and when he pressed yes It just never turned back on. no bootloop or anything. just black screen.
I've tried going back into recovery mode (power+home+vol up).......no response.
I've tried going into Download Mode (power+home+vol down) ....... no response.
when I plug it into the computer or USB charger without a battery in the phone the notification light turns red for a few minutes. with battery in, nothing.
my guess is that a ROM got installed, without the bootloader being unlocked. (oops)
what I'm really here for though, is to ask if you can really blank screen brick your phone just by downloading a bad rom.
any help anyone? any advise on what I should try? anything? thanks!
Samsung Galaxy s3 SGH-i747M(bell)
(I have his phone for the weekend because he will be away and wont be able to try anything to fix it, hence why I'm here asking this.)
The Rom we accidently put on it was called Android Revolution HD SGS3 17.0 I honestly cant find on the site weather its international or not s:
need more info what rom if it was a international rom then the phone is hard bricked and needs to be jtaged

Would a usb jig work? anything work? we're only kids we cant get 80$ to pay for a phone repair -.-
I ordered usb jigs yesterday.. they better do something!
most likely no you might try taking it back to your carrier and tell them you updated to jb with kies and the phone wont turn on they will send it to samsung for a warranty repair but if samsung finds out you flashed a rom they will charge you for repair if you can get to download mode with the jig then you can oden stock rom

alright, thats what I'll do. if the Jig doesnt work I'll get my friend to return it to bell and say some sort of lie XD
thanks you!
no problem just tell your friend if they find out samsung will bill him for the repair and it will be more than 80 dollars

like... alot more than 80$? because if so my friend can get a new phone through his insurance for 150$ it would be useless to wait 5 weeks to repair a phone that would cost almost as much as it would getting a new one
i am not sure let me search
couldnt find anything seems like it was a couple hundred dollars but i cant find that thread so i could be wrong found one where the guy did the samething and they fixed his for free ok after more checking those whose phone would not power on was fixed by samsung for free
Thank You!!

your welcome next time do a little more reading before you flash it saves alot of trouble
it seems that my friend has bricked his phone by installing a verizon boot loader in a at&t gs3 i tried going into recovery and download but nothing the phone wont boot or anything seems to be dead.
question is is there any way to fix it I tried many methods but all failed ):
Why would he install a verizon bootloader? He might have to get a jtag service to fix it. Bummer

1) Charge battery & phone for an hour.
2) Pull battery for five minutes
3) Put battery back in
4) Press and hold VolumeDown+Power+Home
If that doesn't get you ANY display at all, not even a splash screen, then it's a "hard brick" and he'll need to send his phone out for "JTAG" repair. They are available on eBay for ~$50.
If you do get display, then come back and let us know for the next step (odin).
Some people think the phone is bootloader Locked. When they see that verizon version has bootloader unlock, they flash that.
I almost made that mistake, but I read and re-read everything for a week before even downloading stuff to try

Go to ebay or one of the other websites, and buy a Samsung Jig. Plug it into your phone, and you'll get into download mode. Best $5.00 you'll ever spend.
Its not bricked.
Use Odin, search next time. This has been covered various amounts of times.
