i already pulled the stock recovery. just need help flashing via terminal emulator
thanks in advance

If your phone has power, you can download and flash whatever you need to directly, without a usb cable. If your phone won't power on, you can't really do anything with it. It needs to have some power to go into download mode, as far as I know.

the issue is that the port i plug the usb does not work. so i cant charge my phone nor my computer will recognise the phone to get into dl mode. i already have the new phone. i need to get my other phone back to stock so i can send back

Yeah, so just download the stock ROM and recovery directly to your phone instead. Flash the stock ROM, then flash over the custom recovery.

your phone need to be turned off in order to enter download mode.
if I misunderstood you situation and you tried with your phone turned off, can you enter recovery mode?
did you install clockwork mod recovery after rooting your phone?
I have a rogers aswell, hold volume up plus power plus home. Then you can plug your cord in, put whatever in Odin then make sure stuff like f reset and what you need are checked off or not checked off then click start.
If it doesn't work, getting into download mode you did something wrong before, I was able to do it after, so should you

Go in recovery and restore your phone to whenever your phone worked and don't reflash the last thing you flashed. Probably a bad kernel.
If you did not make a backup. Boot in download mode and use Odin to flash a stock rom you may also need to flash a stock kernel depending of what ROM you flash.

Bricked Phone??? Please help!!!

Hey guys,
I just got my S3 and installed AOKP no problem. Then as part of my purchased apps, I downloaded and installed Franco Kernel installer. I had not flashed the kernel previously but tried to autoflash using the application. It flashed and now the phone won't boot. If I take out the battery and turn it on, the Samsung logo flashes and then turns off.
Please help!!!
I am JellyBean Build 4 of AOKP
Also, if I remove the battery and plug the phone into the computer, a battery with a recycle type arrow shows up ...
On app description its for the international version. Never flash anything unless you get it here or are directed to it from here. And always be sure its for our T999.
If you're getting any response there may be hope for it. Try to boot into download mode. Hold power + volume down + home. Then when prompted press volume up.
Now plug into computer and use Odin to flash the full stock FW. And pray it works!
If you can't get download mode or recovery you may need repair...

Okay, into download mode and it is downloading. Do I wait or use Odin through the toolkit? And if I use the toolkit, how do I turn on USB debugging without being able to get into the phone settings?
Odin to stock Rom and start over. No weird kernels this time.

I don't think so.

Any other thoughts??? Please???
Keep holding the volume and home button but let go of the power button

You can get into recovery. Watch this video. At 3-4 minutes in it shows you how to hold and release the buttons. Ignore the rest

Then go into download mod and flash .tar stock rooted rom via odin.
Is that an option in the ToolKit? I'm not seeing it ...
Download aokp on your computer and put it on your external sd card. Put the external sd card back into the phone. Go into recovery and flash it

I'll have to do that tomorrow ... no microSD card in my possession but that would work. Thanks for the suggestion.
Is there anything I can do tonight to fix it?
You can do the Odin to stock method. If you want to keep root, download the root66 version from MrRobinsons thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1771687
Instructions for Odin should be there as well.
I would recommend doing this first anyways. When you tried the international kernel it likely flashed to the wrong partition. This is probably your best bet for getting everything back onto correct partitions. (If it flashed the sbl partition, flashing a rom in recovery won't fix it, odin should).
Basically you download the FW to your computer, (odin too) and after booting to download mode, start Odin then connect to computer. You should see it show a Com port in top left area. Then click on pda and browse to the FW you downloaded (you may have to unzip it, should be a .tar or .tar.md5 file).
Make sure PDA is checked as well as auto reboot and F.reset time. Then start flash.
Use the instructions in MrRobinsons thread in case I forgot something. I just wanted to give you a quick rundown.

After rooting the device, did you install a custom recovery? you can download goo manager in the play store and install TWRP recovery and reboot to it. If you already have the recovery installed and cant boot to the recovery then use adb to reboot it. Or another way is download terminal emulator and reboot using command lines from you for...only if you have root.
are you on stock or non stock recovery .. And to get into download mode . As far as i know from a off state hold down vol down and power button . to get into down load mode and its vol up to recovery ..
Not tried on my note but its how it goes on the note 10.1 tablet and other samsung devices i have had

Negative, only stuff I installed after the root was superSU and titanium backup.. both of the paid versions. .. When I power up holding vol+ Home Power instead of any upload option I just get the following
Reboot sys now
Apply update from ADB
Apply update from external storage
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Apply update from cache
Tried wipe data/factory reset to clear the root mod (multi-csc), but basically just wiped my phone of everything else except the root, lol, so at that point I figured I should ask for help..

that is the stock recovery. You need to get root again since u factory reset it. Once u get superSU go to play store and download goo manager to install TWRP or if you prefer CWR then install rom manager.

You don't have to reroot after a factory reset, these aren't iphones (unless you just mean download supersu again) But everything else is correct

copy your desired rom to the SDcard or internal storage and the open goo manager up again and choose reboot to recovery.

reboot again and hold vol up home and power until samsung appears then let go of power, but still hold home and vol up until recovery comes up. from there you can select to install zip ,which would be your rom. make sure to do a clean install (factory data wipe, wipe cache) Then use the instructions the op has up from where you downloaded the rom. should be good to go.
