Bricked (complicated)

My Galaxy s3 is now what appears to be a hard bricked phone. The only response I get is a red light when I plug it in and a bing when I plug it into the usb port. No recognition by the computer though.
This was caused by me trying to flash the kernel to a very common one (siyah) and after it completed successfully I did a reboot, now it won't turn on or go into CWM recovery or basic android recovery.
I've exhausted every possibility I can think of /googled to solve it such as.
1) Taking the battery out
2) Trying to make Odin recognize it
3) Trying to boot into the various recoveries
4) Trying many a different button combos
5) Leaving it to charge for a while
The only think I can think of that I haven't tried is a USB jig.
My question is, what now? Help me, please.

Well your first issue is that we don't have a siyah kernel for the i747. So, yeah.
You might need to try a jig. I if that doesn't work then you will need to send it off to get jtag fixed.

+1 with sending the device to jtag

Since you flashed an i9300 kernel, likely with bootloaders, and it won't do anything you will need to send it off for JTAG repair.

JTag time. You've flashed a kernel not meant for our device.

Thanks guys, I figured that was probably my only option. And I feel really dumb now. I'm used to jailbreaking, rooting it seems, requires you to be much more vigilant.
Thanks again.

I'd say it requires common sense. Don't flash something that's not meant for your phone!

Youtube and research my friend. Nearly can fix any phone no matter how bad you mess it up. Very rare that a JTAG can't fix a phone.

Hey my phone is rooted but I don't have a backup!!...I also already have Hemidall already downloaded so what is the next process??

I've never used heimdall, I have Windows but go to galaxys3root.com and there is a guide there on how to root. Just follow those steps and it should work. You will lose all the data on your internal sdcard though

Did you install that from the market? If so that app has bricked countless sg3's including mine. That app should have a warning or just be removed from the market its terrible, there are other ways to get beats installed without bricking your device!!

I agree DO NOT USE that site. But my main reason for visiting this thread was to say Beats sucks. Get good headphones and PowerAmp and you should get way better sound quality.

I'm coming from being a heavy htc user. What is the benefits of having these files. What can these files do that source code cannot?
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda premium

This is the bone stock file that. Ame loaded on the phone. These will fix most problems people run in to. They have the modem, system, bootloader, and cache.

So odin files is to Samsung as ruu is to htc? Any hope for multi task screen Or should I not count on it?
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda premium

I believe so. These are exactly what came on the phone. So no multitasking yet.

Yup, just like an RUU. It won't really have anything to do with multiview, but with the files available, devs can get a little more creative and try new things without worrying about having no way to bring the phone back if they mess up. So that could potentially get people working on multiview.

No. This is in case you mess up your phone flashing or need to go back to stock for returns or warranty purposes.

Just to make sure, should I download this firmware or just leave it alone. I really don't wanna mess up this device lol Thanks but I'm new to this kinda stuff

If you download it, you only need it on your desktop along with a copy of ODIN. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, disregard.

Hard Bricked?

I accidentally flashed a pit file in Odin which I think was made for a Galaxy Vibrant, my other phone.
The phone wont boot at all. When I plug it into the computer, the computer makes noise like it registers it though. The normal 'ding' sound followed by an error-like sound.
Is there any fix?

And I want you to know that I was laughing at Rushing's comment, not your dilemma. I'm sorry you bricked your phone. If this does not get moved to the Q&A section soon, you may want to ask the question again there. I'm sure someone will chime in there with helpful comments, even if it's just to confirm that you need a new phone. I've never had to deal with more than a soft brick, so I'm not sure if a jig will help you or not.

anyways, might want to check out www.mobiletechvideos.com they can definitely repair your phone with their Jtag repair service...they unbricked my phone and can definitely do yours :laugh:

You screwed your phone. You flashed a vibrant file on a T989. I've done this mistake when I was a super noobie thinking a "galaxy s2" name applied to all of them and I flashed a I9100 on my T989. I enjoyed a night of disappointment before I was able to call and finally get my replacement sent (it was under 20 days, thank god!) if your not so lucky, your screwed. However if they will accept it and return it they wont question you at all as long as you are super-hard bricked and cant boot or get into download mode or anything.

If you happened to change the recovery via odin, which I think you did, for something that ain't xompatible with our phone, yes you're done.
Nothing can be done sadly
