That is an international 19300 s3 rom. Only flash roms made for the t mobile sgh-t999. There are many methods for download mode. Try pulling the battery and then hold volume down and home and power while putting battery back into phone. Then put back cover on and then plug into computer and see if Odin recognizes it even if it does not show the download mode screen. If that does not work you could buy a download mode jig. But, unfortunately, it is known that flashing international s3 roms on a US variant results in an unrecoverable brick due to the rom flashing in the wrong mount points. So consider doing a replacement.
I know the feeling, I hard bricked my last phone and had to get it replaced.

Is it possible for me to take it back to tmoile to fix it? =[

Is there a way that use the window cmd.exe to rewrite the android system to the phone?
I tired it before for my phone before, but i forgot the way that I'd done last time.

Yes. I just bricked mine 3 days ago. Took it to t mobile and told them that it would not turn on. If it is not in your 14 day grace period they will have one shipped to your house. Free. And even next day air.

Really? Great, I bought it yesterday

The wait sucks, but time never slows down. When the replacement comes you don't have to baby it. Just flash anything that looks safe in these forums and you'll be fine. Definitely back up your imei though.

These threads make me sad. People brick their devices because they didn't do their research and flash the wrong ROM, and T-Mobile ends up being taken advantage of and replacing these devices. SMH.

Send it for a jtag fix... 50 bucks at least you learn some responsibilities in the way.

NO, NO, and NO, go to device manager, I bet there is a device that says QLOAD**, if it is there, BRICKED. You will not recover without a JTAG service. If you CAN NOT get to download mode, there is NO fix. You can continue to look for a solution that does not exist, or get it over with, either exchange it with T-Mobile (good luck), or bite the bullet with the problem YOU CREATED, and pay 60.00 of the jtag service.

I agree, I bricked my phone day 1 hr 2, CAUSE, I DID NOT READ. But I DID NOT once, even think of T-Mobile and a return, I bricked it, I paid for the service. The return service is for real problems, NOT for people who abuse the system with sh** like this. My opinion.

[Q] Complete Brick?

I acquired a Samsung Galaxy S2 for T mobile from a friend today and he said he flashed a rom for a European version of the phone or just a rom that wasn't meant for the phone. He told me before that it vibrated and stuff, but ive been tinkering wit it and havent gotten any type of vibrations or anything. I was wondering if I have a complete brick or something that I could fix and make into a win situation? Is there any steps I can do to see if it's a brick or not cause I'm not familair with this phone that much.
Look around, many others have done something similar

Chances are it's hardbricked if he flashed a ROM for the i9100 (the international version). The T989 (our phone) an the i9100 are completely different phones, they only share a name for marketing reasons. To double check that it's fully bricked, see if you can access clockworkmod recovery or download mode.
For CWM recovery, hold power + volume up + volume down until the phone vibrates, then let go of power and continue holding volume up + volume down until the recovery menu appears.
For DL mode, hold volume up + volume down while plugging the phone into your computer with a USB cable (make sure the other end is in the computer first). If you get the download mode screen, you can ODIN back to stock.
If neither of those work, your phone is hard bricked and there's essentially nothing you can do to recover it. You can always try to send it back to Samsung if it's under warranty.
So theres no way to getting out of hard bricked? i bought a usb jig but didnt get me in download mode.. i installed a 1900 rom as well and im screwed now! it connects to the computer and it reads under odin but is there anything i can do to fix this ??
if you are able to go into download mode flash stock rom with odin...

Most likely it's bricked hard.
Only repair is jtag services, there is a link somewhere about $80 to fix.
Flashing 9100 = hardbricked. If the sucker vibrates when holding power, you might have a chance by doing some sdk stuff

Yes, It was my nephew's s3. He was blindly flashed it, now He asked me to help him, and I am asking any one in here know how to get it power up and into download mode.
I think that flashing the wrong radio version could fry the whole thing dead permanently.
However, if you can get ADB to recognize the device you may be able to get it working. See if you can get adb to recognize the device at all, if you can there may be hope.

Sorry many that have flashed international have been hard bricked if they can't return on. Mskip has a toolkit but if it won't turn on then it's hard to flash though.

Does any screen come up? If it's hard bricked, just bring it to the store, and show them. They'll probably try a new battery, and if they can't boot it up, then they may replace it.
Worst case, they say they won't replace it cause you messed with it, and you're back where you started.

Cause the USB dongle will put you straight to download mode. From there you can flash the proper ROM.
Anyway, if you can't get in to download mode, can't boot up to anything, and especially if ADB can't find your phone, then you might have just gotten yourself a very expensive paperweight.

I did the same thing, quit wasting time, you need a Jtag service period, if you can't get into download mode, Odin and Adb IS NOT going to work. It will not see the device. Go into device manager, if you see this QHSUSB DLOAD, you are seriously bricked, only Jtag can help it. The usbjig will NOT work with this issue, I have tried.

[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.

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 .

Worth a try. At this point, what is it going to hurt?

Did I brick my S3?

Okay, I got a Galaxy S3 about a week ago, rooted, installed rom manager and left it mostly alone...... Today I tried to install a rom and it is now completely unresponsive(no matter what buttons I hold down)
This is what I did:
1. Flash Clockwork using Rom Manager
2. selected "Install rom from SD" and picekd the rom I had downloaded(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1735850)
3. rom tried to install but failed, error code 7 i believe
4. CWR warned me that the phone might try to Flash the system recovery on boot and asked if I wanted to prevent it... so I let it do it's think
5. phone *reboots* but does not turn back on.....
When I plug it in to the computer it is recognized for a second(windows does the usb beep) then fails....this also happens when I try the button combinations
Pulling the battery/sd has NOT helped
flashed an international rom phone might be bricked. Hopefully it didn't actually flash and you can odin the phone back to stock.

Unfortunately Since I bought it on craigslist(even though it was new, sealed in the package) and not from a T-Mo store, they won't let me replace it

Mistyped....... And how would I go about getting samsung to replace my phone? I already made a Samsung account, but when I try to register the phone to my account it wants to know where/when it was originally purchased...... Things that I don't know
If you do the exchange through tmo, it will go through just fine regardless of where you bought it. This is not an invite to argue, I'm stating facts from experience.

You sure they still do that? I know I've bought a phone on craigs.. had a problem called T-Mobile and got a replacement, but I tried to do that last month with a s2 but since it wasn't bought on my account they said they wouldn't replace it.

I suppose they could have changed it since I did it the last time (Sept) but that would be crazy if they did. I get most of my phones by trading etc. And have always had them replace phones if needed (since g1 times). But I've never actually said to them that I didn't buy it new, and I've never had them ask. Maybe it's one of those things that it would be too much work to keep track of, but they can deny it if they know? Cause it could be from a different line on the account that had an exchange a few months ago so the imei wouldn't match the receipt anyways. They would need to hire an entire department to go through all of the exchanges.

This is why people shouldn't hack their phones unless they educate themselves on what they r doing. Good Luck

JTAG it from mobiletechvideos. Don't use the warranty method. You made the mistake so man up and pay the $60 or so it will cost for them to fix it. They have great support and will keep you informed the whole way through. Using the warranty method will just jack insurance and cost up for everybody that does their homework before flashing willy nilly. Good luck.

I just got my phone back from MobileTechVideos.COM and it works perfect. They are the best hope if you hard brick.

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.
