T-Mobile Samsung GS3 rooting failed! My phone won't turn on

hi guys.. i am a newbie, i don't know anything about rooting android phone and i just want to try it out.. i follow this tutoring http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1735561 but my phone won't restart after i use Odin -> PDA -> start -> PASS... now i can't even turn it on.. help me please... i am worry

That's what happened to me. With the s3 being so new and since I bought it from t mobile I went up to the store I bought it from. I told them I put some music on it last night and this morning I restarted it and it didn't turn on. Then I told them I tried charging the battery all day so I don't think it is the battery (just so they already think it's a hardware issue) They replaced it with a brand new one. That was the solution for me. Let me know if it works.

This is fraud.
If you brick your device, own up to it and take it like a man.

Don't listen to this guy ^^^^^
If it doesn't turn on at all reseat the battery, plug it into the charger it nothing comes up at all bring it back to the store and exchange it.

First off learn from your mistakes. If you don't know what your doing why mess with something that isn't broken? Should have gotten some advice first. Can you get it back to download mode? You unplugged it from your computer to try and turn it on right? Hear that leaving it plugged wield cause it to not turn on. Don't quote me on that tho

To the OP..what exactly did you flash using Odin? Did you flash clockworkmod? If you did..have you tried to boot into cwm?

Seriously? I don't like the idea of scamming anyone but the manufacturer does have the ability to unbrick the device and sell it again.
It might not be awesome to do but being an internet though guy talking about slapping someone like a ***** is certainly worse.

Try to return the phone its a software problem which will cost samsung nothing. Even if they had to replace your data storage hardware it would cost them nothing while you're taking a $600 hit for no reason. Use the resources available to you. Don't mind the blowhards they don't know what a brick is. Also make sure you research and try to fix it yourself first.

Discussion on how to lie to the carrier to get your phone replaced for free after bricking it is fraud and the discussion of such is against XDA rules. That is what insurance is for. You brick it, admit to it and pay the deductible for a new phone. If you do anything else, good luck but do not discuss it here!

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.

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.

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

I think that i have the same problem but I noticed its caused by viber..so basically Exit from viber (by pressing exit button not exiting through home button or back key) than restart your device and its Boom its gone (not forever but for a long time..lol) mine happens once a week so I'm happy with that

It's like having an adorable illiterate pet

Either you have a hardware issue, in which case claim warranty. Or just do a clean wipe and restart. Are you rooted?
Because that's a silly reason to switch phones. I totally get if you need to upgrade to some other phone - but if this is your sole reason, explore other options before you do.

This failure of screen to come back after a call has been reported by others. I doubt it's hardware.

Are you on stock ROM?

If it's software, it's defo fixable. I haven't faced this issue on any ROM/Kernel combo I've tried thus far.
Okay scratch that, I did face it once on X Note IIRC. Did a full wipe and everything works well to date.

Volume Rocker

Has any one else have this problem..
My volume down button gets stuck into the frame, (must press the button down then up forward into the screen) its really not that big a deal ,Though am just curious of your opinion.
Tomorrow thinking of exchange since am in the 14-day return period.
This might proceed to get worse or what do you think?
I understand dirt can build up and this may cause an issue.
well.. thanks. anyone else with this similar experience?

Hey guys quick question. I bought my HTC One from a "premium retailer" at BJS was wandering if anyone knows if i call verizon customer support if they would send me a new one? Currently its too late to call them,
aswell.. an official verizon store said (when i went earlier) they cannot exchange for it is a different retailer.
experiences?

as long as you pay for the insurance/ warranty package it won't matter.

I have the warranty 'will give them a call early this morning.
Thank you

So i called verizon this morning amd they weren't' able to send me a replacement, I ended up going to the store and they replaced it with no pleasure at all saying nothing was wrong with it
Anyways i got my new set and before i set it up i checked it carefully and what i saw was uptop there was a much longer gap which ive seen on these fourms and thats pretty normal, was more concerned on the volume button.
Anyhow since i got the replacement it seems more slow and jittery (owell) and now ive noticed .. if you would check the pic.. anyone else have this? its hidden light bleed can only see on a deep slant
doubt my last device had this issue but curious how common this hidden error is.
EDIT:: feel like i got the prototype

this screen issue was bothering me and now they are sending me another
cool

I work at a premium and if you have an issue with your phone we swap it out and we get our money back from where we get our phones. we get our phones from hundreds of different online retailers including Verizon direct. the faster we get rid of our phones the better and there is a period where we can return it and get a refund. depending on the vendor there is different time periods we even mark them from the date we get them and that's what we sell first. This phone has not been out that long and that retailer blows for giving you an issue 4g would never do that. Returning is all together is another issue restocking fees apply even at Verizon direct.
Sent from my HTC6500LVW using Tapatalk 2

they had none in stock so they are sending me one through mail, idk if its straight from official verizion or what but they say it may be used or new (depending on stock)
i went to some other premium retailer in another town ,(hoboken) had such great service
seems the more legit looking the place is ,the better.
nice people thanks guys!!!

you actually check all your phones for light bleed? You will never be happy with your electronics then.

why you gettin at me? im very happy with electronics and this device im on specifically. if the new one turns out to be less attractive im sending it back and will live with what i got. no problem here...
dont you think that pic is great too? for other people who pass by and can check their device? many wouldnt ever notice it.

I think his point is people who look for silly imperfections are pessimists and will only look at half empty scenarios. Nothing is perfect.

exactly. Imagine if people could swap out their cars for any perceived flaws. These things are made in a factory run through an assembly line. Some variance is considered normal. There is no such thing as a perfect electronic device.
See the usb off centered thread...

first phone volume rocker wasn't working which is an understandble replacement..
and you bashing my thread , well you have your opinion and i type agree to an extent but for people thinking of buying the phone (in any scenario) would know what to expect.
this is what forums are about, complete knowledge and growing, its good to know the known flaws
ill post up tomorrow will see if this next phone has this hidden light bleed,

have you thought about calling HTC for a repair?

noway
sending anything in for repair
well ive received the replacement and although everything seems fine like there is no bleed anywhere, but has more gap upto'
seems in good condition, only complain would be that the power button set
is actually flush with the board
pros on replacement : louder/fuller sound -no Ii ght bleed, scrren seems more vivid/pronounced.
cons on replacement - power button and its refurbished phone
pros on original device, reliable
cons on original device, light bleed, alliuminum on left side isnt sunck in
conclusion , not exchanging keeping what i have

Speakers making a clicking sound

First when got the phone thought was because the camera cause that's what I tried first
but nopes
now every single sound that plays there's a clicking sound.
Is there anyway to solve this?
This phone belongs to my cuz, and my friend got hers the same time but was a ATT model and no sound. But I'm guessing it's maybe hardware, hoping it's not
thanks

Are you completely stock and within the return period?
Sent from my HTC6500LVW using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

A lot of people have been having this issue especially on 4.4. Some say its 4.4's fault but I think its a hardware issue...make sure you're completely stock and try a factory reset after backing everything up...if that doesn't help its a hardware issue and Verizon will replace it no problem. If its not within the 14 day new return policy you're going to get a refurbished phone back but either way they'll definitely send you a new one.

For the hell of it, have you turned off "BEATS" to see if the the clicking continues? If it stops, then it's a software problem. If it doesn't then it's most likely hardware. Regardless, returning the phone sounds like the best bet.

Settings/sound /touch sounds make sure that is unchecked
