DONT WANT A BRICK? Check here

As of right now, the roms for your S3 are not meant to be used on other S3 variants. Bricks might happens or a soft one might happen. Before flashing a Rom make sure you are in the right development section an you read the entire op, twice. Until other devs or experienced users find a way to make them cross compatible, please refrain from using other carriers S3 roms.

That's slick!:good:

hard brick - a pretty paperweight (tonight)
should have been more careful, soft bricked the phone, 2 times trying to change the dpi.
once trying to flash a rom - the rom flash, took it to QHSUSB_DLOAD mode, not impressed but i'll take this downtime as a time to relax.

Another way to avoid a brick; Don't use a mod, theme, tool or ROM until it's confirmed by multiple people in the community that it's working properly. Read the last 3-4 pages of a thread

Do like we all have done: read everything you can find and then ask an intelligent question. Otherwise, XDA denizens get grumpy... :cyclops:

I agree with you, I ended up with a soft brick stuck at the samsung glowing logo after trying to unroot because I got a crack the front plastic near the headphone jack. I managed to reset the flash counter and install the rom but odin failed at the end. Now I'm hesitant to flash another ROM. Anyone else here waiting for JellyBean Rom? Definitely take your time and always make sure your computer installs the drivers before doing anything! I got BB to exchange it for me since they couldn't get it to boot and the mystery crack wasn't my fault. I only had it for like 3 days IN A CASE TOO. Happy Flashing dudes.

I'm just glad i saw a forum for the gs3. I would've bricked my phone after i got it.

Another bricker my own fault went to unroot to take in for service and went and loaded a wrong .tar file of the stock system. Anyway...not looking for sympathy..just wanted to say thanks for the forum that gave me the tools to fix my mistake :thumbup:

Original is usually built from scratch/source. Android development is based from stock, leaks or ports

Phone won't turn on after installing WanamLite | Help

Hey guys, I'm new to the boards and to Android. I was a very longtime user of iPhone and iOS until recently I returned my iPhone 5 for a Note II.
I apologize before hand if I'm coming off as a noob--thats cause I am--but I've ran into a problem.
Late last night I backed up my stock rom and installed [XXDLJ2 4.1.2][V2.0] WanamLite | Aroma. Everything went fine, the phone was working fine and after a while, I knocked out.
This morning the phone wasn't on so I figured it was dead. I immediately left it charging for a couple of hours and when I returned, the phone was still dead, no sign of life.
I'm starting to panic and I'm really hoping someone can help me.
I truly apologize for the noobing and if this thread isn't posted where it supposed to be, please accept my apologies..
thank you in advance.

Can you force into download mode or recovery. Wanamlite isnt s rom for this device so your gonna have problems with it. You need to go back to a device-stable build
Edit...are you sure your batt didnt go completely dead? Sometimes you have to use a external batt charger when its been drained all tge way

Just finish calling someone off craigslist and he was able to help me determine that it's a softbrick. He said he can fix it and install any rom I want for $50; is there anyway I can fix this on my own?

Is it even booting to a splash screen (Samsung logo)? If it is, you can force it into download mode and Odin back to stock. There are tutorials on how to do so out there.
If it doesnt turn on at all, or if it just vibrates with a dark screen, you probably have a hard brick and may want to try warrantying it out. I've never had a softbrick that wouldn't power on, and I'd be wary of your Craigslist guy if he says a phone that shows no signs of life is a soft brick...

I was the one who made mention that there was not sign of life and he was able to determine that its a soft brick. He had me press vol down+home+power and it went into download mode.
I'm on my way to go see him, he said he can fix it and install any ROM I'd like.

If I'm not mistaken, it's Clean ROM. The only issue I have is that my cell network is gone. I called and went to a retail AT&T and they couldn't figure out what was wrong.
Luckily, he's cool and we've been in contact, should be fixed by tomorrow-- Unless you guys have any suggestion in what it might be and how it can be fixed. If not, I'll see him as soon as possible.

Would you be able to walk me through this? I'm savvy when it comes to this but I am new to Android.
Your help will be appreciated.

also check to see if you have an IMEI number as well. CleanROM is an att ROM with all the correct data APNs (AccessPointNames), e.g., made from the ATT Stock ROM, so you should be able to connect. on the otherhand, if you don't have an IMEI number you'll need to fix that before you can move forward.

Ya can check and change yur apn settings by going to settings-wireless and networks-mobile networks-access point names. Ya should have an att apn if not hit the menu button and add new apn.

I'm assuming that I have an IMEI only cause the AT&T rep looked at it when I went to the store. Anyhow, it doesn't hurt to double check. Thank you for your quick responses.

So I tried this and it tells me "Insert SIM card to access netword services." I certainly have a SIM card and its a new one. Any suggestions?

As said above, waste of $50 for sure. A little patience/reading/searching would have allowed you to do this yourself.. free.

That's what I was thinking as well; the modem might have been lost or corrupted. Easy fix.
OP, if you can get yourself into download mode, you're up against a soft brick. Once you're in download mode, fixing the phone is easy for almost any level of experience. Do some reading here, skim through ROM threads and read the stickies inside-out. There's nothing that guy did that a few hours of research and a little coaching can't help you do yourself.

[Q] PRL never budges from 2000. Seeking force roam

My PRL is seemingly stuck on “2000”. I am not able to force roam on Verizon using these instructions http://qbking77.com/development/how-to-force-roam-on-verizon-with-samsung-galaxy-s-iii-and-note-ii/ or even update to sprints latest unless of course 2000 is the latest. I am creating the TEST.prl on the root just like the instructions say but its having no affect when I do a PRL write. Any ideas?

Yeah I couldn't get mine to change from 2000 either until I took LuCkyCn's suggestion and did it with mobile data/wifi off. Took the first time after that.

Yeah I had to turn off mobile data and it worked after that. It still may take a few tries but it will eventually change to the prl you want.

I may be wrong, but I don't have any issues with 1.66. The only reason why I don't have sound issues is because I'm using 5.28 stable slim. The kernel did increase my volume dramatically. You can find 1.66 in the post toward the end of his thread.

I was trying to flash my note 2 back to the stock sprint os and instead i flashed the verizon os. idiot move i know.
Now my phone turns on with the verizon logo and says the sim card is not a valid verizon card.
Did i mess up my phone or is there a way i can flash the original stock srpint os back on? if so, which file do i need to download to do that? I dont care about losing data since i already lost it when i flashed the verizon os.

I'm stuck in TWRP

checked out the newest post on galaxynote2root.com about turning my note 2 into a S5/Note3 hybrid.
FOllowed the directions telling me to flash the Verizon version to my Sprint device but it failed. Normally no big deal but like an idiot I did not back up and I did not have another ROM to fall back on.
I have a card reader adapter that I have attempted to put other random roms onto and flash through TWRP but EVERYTHING fails and I can't figure out why. SOmebody please help me out here

......
Update: I've been able to flash the Illusion Rom with no Fail message but it just boots to the Samsung Galaxy Splash and doesn't move like it's loading the greatest cut scene ever. So yea still stuck if anybody could help out

Ok I can most likely help but I need more information. Give me a link to the thread you followed and the rom you flashed. Please send it in a PM so others wont see it and try to do the same thing.
Another user recently posted a video link to something claiming the same thing in one of my rom threads. I have ported over a Verizon rom to sprint and it is not a simple thinbg to do. Wish you would have seen this in my thread before you tried it. Hopefully I can get you up and running again.

I went to that forum and read everything along with the comments. Looks like they really have no clue what they are doing. The users who did not mess up their device (non sprint users) do not have working wifi because they do not have the proper information. There are specific files on each device that is needed and they were not told to change them. I left a mostly nice comment about their steps for sprint.

Sorry guys I was already heading to bed when you guys started messaging back. I appreciate you guys taking the time out to help me with my problem. jlmancuso I've sent you that PM with hopefully all the information you need and requested.

Update: I have just attempted to Flash the stock firmware from samsung-updates.com through ODIN and I am unfortunately still getting no further than the Samsung Galaxy Note II splash and of course I've also lost TWRP
Final Update: After flashing the stock firmware back to my phone I went into the basic recovery mode that it has and did a factory reset yet again and apparently that did it and my phone is back to it's normal self.
Thanks for your help guys ... kinda lol
