[ROM 4.1.2 - 4.2] JELLYBAM - v1.2.0 [03/12] [i9300] [PA.AOKP.CM10] [ATOMIC] [AROMA]

Did your battery die midflash? Usually even if it bricks it doesn't occur til the reboot. Normally it doesn't just brick midflash and go blank.

I think so, like right after i hit finish it flashed, went black and would turn on, the samsung reboot screen didn't even come on, after that i too out the battery and now it wont do anything

Was your battery really low before you went to recovery? Does the charging screen show when plugged in? Try letting it sit plugged in a while and see if the battery went to low, sometimes takes an hr or so in charger before they will get to a level when it can boot or even show the battery screen when off. If the charging screen shows once you get it above 50% try booting to download mode or recovery mode manually(using the hardware buttons)

OP, Your phone is officially done. I9300 is international version of the S3.. Different processor and goodies.. If your on Sprint.. your looking for the SPH-L710. Which is the US Version (Dual core) Flashing an international rom kills it. (Your not the only one who's done it, there are several threads here with similar issues) Just next time, be more careful and ensure you have the right model.. ask if your not sure.

Not that i've seen nor heard of.. If you could get into odin mode.. then it's a possibility.. More then likely, return to sprint. (Someone will chime in if they have a possible method) From what i've read. best bet, take back to sprint.. if your under warrenty they should exchange it. (Just don't tell them how you bricked it)

You will not be able to fix this yourself. You will have to get it replaced or send it off to have a JTAG Repair done.

Can you get to odin mode? (vol up + home + power)
If so there is a chance, i had flashed a i9300 rom by accident on my d2spr and was able to recover it via odin, had to re partition everything and it was a bloody nightmare, but i was able to fix it. but if you cant get it to odin, and it wont charge. Then you should be able to take it to sprint for replacement. In my experience if its dead dead, and there's no water damage (which i'm presuming there isn't) they will send out for a replacement on the spot at no charge. Granted i always go to a licensed store so that may be the reason.

And that's not even to mention that the OP was flashing a 9 month old ROM. Jebus.

I did the same thing on the first day after rooting the phone. I just took the phone back to sprint and told them I had it charging and came back to it turned off and it wouldn't turn on and they just gave me another one, no questions asked.

Well ****, good thing i saved my pics and messages to my laptop. I'm just gonna take it to sprint and tell them that i was charging it and it turned off, hopefully they'll give me a replacement but ill def be more careful next time..Thanks!

Does this look right?

Hey guys does does this look right i had the leaked jelly bean stock for about a week it was buggy so i went back to this but the lay out dont seem right
I have two pictures attached one of settings and one of home screen . What dont look right to me is where the 4apps ( phone contacts web apps) because before i did the jb update i was able to change / replace those apps with whatever i wanted now i cant... Did i flash the wrong stock update

Anyone here that can help me? [Remote Flash]

Can anyone link me to anyone that can remote flash the GS3 to metropcs? I payed someone to remote flash my HTC Droid Incredible months ago, but he no longer does it.
If anyone here would do it for money that'd be even better. Thanks for the help guys.

Have you tried doing it yourself? There are lots of guides around and it's not super hard as long as you can follow directions precisely. Its always much better to be self sufficient than rely on someone else. Especially when doing things like this, that way if you ever run into an issue you can fix it yourself instead of needing to contact someone for assistance. Check out Howard forums and search around xda for guides and info on the software and files you'll need. They can't be fully discussed here on xda do to the legal confusion surrounding carrier flashing cdma devices.

If a new modem was flashed the profile update more than anything fixes the issue. Usually best to update profile then reboot the profile is all the info the network requires to communicate with the device.

Yes, you can. Sprintzone only works inside the app. It is not required to activate the phone, call customer service or anything else the app does. It just localizes the options.

Not a clue but mine works just fine. I have it deleted tho and not frozen. So maybe that has something to do with it. Could be a dependency still working in the background. Does it FC if you dial the 800#? When u dial that # from your sprint line it converts to *2 when it dials out. All I know is the phone works 100% with every single sprint app removed cuz I'm using mine with 0 sprintware and very little Samsung stuff left and I've called *2 about 10times since Thanksgiving to have my data refreshed from tower upgrades in my area killing my connection
