The system partition is written to whenever you flash a rom. I would suggest following the root procedures again, as this should rewrite the system partition. I would wait for some second opinions though.
Edit: I think maybe the root thing was just the rooted kernel. Someone will probably post a Backup file soon and you may have luck with that.
The thing is that it is not booting at all and the only thing that the computer recognizes is a QHSUSB_DLOAD something.
Have you tried to use odin yet? Just to see if it shows a connection? I don't know if you know this way to get to download mode, but hold vol up + vol down when odin is running on your computer and your phone is connected to the computer. It should automagically go to download mode...unless you deleted it when you formatted system.
I tried that. The only thing I did before restarting was "format /system" I do not know if that has something to do with the download mode
I found this for the driver...

I don't know what to do with it from there though.
Did you flash clockwork recovery yet?

Don't panic it can be fixed

How? I flashed. that is how I got to the format /system option. Any suggestion. The driver did not help and I am running out of ideas
If you flashed cwr, with the phone off hold volume up and down at the same time and press power. It should boot to a blue cwr screen. If that happens your in great shape. then all you need is a backup image. which I can upload after work

No worries your phone is not dead, you need to use Odin to reflash. Follow the instructions or google it on youtube how to get in download mode and use odin. Search Samsung Galaxy S the procedure is same.

He can't get into download mode...
You can always get in download mode there are different ways. He has a soft brick that can be fixed. Try pulling battery then plug it in then hold both volume buttons with TWO fingers and turn phone on and when Samsung logo pops up release power button but still hold on the volume buttons then download mode will kick in.

If he holds volume up and down with the power off and plugs in USB in his computer it does nothing?

That's what he said. I already gave him these instructions.
Sometimes on my Vibrant I had to pull out the SIM and sdcard, so I guess that's another option.
I might need to be in front of my computer to help then not driving 80mph on the highway. Lol
But i'm pretty sure it can be fixed
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Thanks all for your help. The phone is not responding to anything button related at least not all what i tried (And you guys mentioned).
Here's something else to try, since I don't think my instructions were clear.
Disconnect your phone from the computer.
Take out SIM.
Start Odin on the computer.
PRESS AND HOLD vol up and vol down.
WHILE HOLDING connect the phone to the computer.
This SHOULD do something, like show a yellow com port connection in Odin.
Disclaimer: I'm not yelling at you, just trying to highlight the important parts. I don't know your level of experience either, so if you feel I'm talking down to you, DON"T!
JAJAJAJA. not a problem. It shows the yellow port connection text box. but is not connecting to the phone it is waiting forever on SetupConnection. However, nothing is happening in the phone. the screen is still black.

again not to make you sound dumb but you have:
ODIN V1.8.4?
Samsung Kies installed but closed?
Pulled battery out?
put battery back in?
run odin v1.8.4?
hold both Vol up + Vol down, and plug the USB cable in?
Do you have another computer and usb cable you can try if the above does not get you into download mode. it could be a driver issue on your computer
I am making a backup now for you to restore if we can get you in download mode to flash cwr

It is becoming ridiculous how much we have of such threads lately. Wonder what fix they expect from us since they do not even bother searching which device that rom is for...
First try to get into a download mode.
If you couldn't try the following methods that used to work with Vibrant:
1. Pull the battery out
2. Hold both vol up & down
3. Hold Power button
4. Connect your usb to a PC and phone
5. Insert your battery
6. Flash any rom

I sent it to mobiletechvideo, they repair hard brick and it costs $60 a lot cheaper then buying a new phone. This wasn't the first time I ever flashed a ROM but the stupid mistake was not doing a research. I assumed that ROM is for AT&t version. I have read in this forums that as long as you don't flash At&t modem you should be fine but I know I grabbed the wrong ROM (At&t Galaxy S II). Well you learn from your mistake I finally experienced how it feels to have hard bricked phone....lol

Yesterday i rooted and tried to install a Rom and used Rom manager to go into recovery mode. I thought you had to do the down+home+power and now when I try to do anything it wont work power button 20 sec , power+home , up/down+power+home,nothing.When i tried plug it into the computer it makes that sound when something failed to connect to the pc. When i tried holding the power button i hear the sound of the device successfully connect to the pc but when i look theres no phone on the computer and when i let go of the power button it stops. Any help would be very much appreciated and i will never do anything to risk my device being broken again...

Did you modify your build.prop?
Can you still access the download mode? If yes try to flash back a stock rom with odin.
Or remove the battery and try again to boot up in download mode.

Try a different usb slot sometimes a usb slot may malfunction I had that problem.
Also don't use a usb extender hub if you are it may screw with the voltage.
a new usb I'm sure you've heard that one but this has the least chance of working because you the s3 makes the noise which means the usb works
Try a new computer and check that you have Kies installed
Try to restart the laptop that also helps
Hope I helped you out

Unfortunately, I have this exact same problem. I'm really scared that I may have bricked my device...
The last time my phone was working, I simply updated my phone to CM10's latest update for the phone. Everything was working perfectly fine. All I did was download the latest rom from get.cm for my sgs3.
Then I read online that this new 4.1.2 rom came out. As a new member XDA won't allow me to post the link of the rom...but you can find it in the Original Development Thread of the T-Mobile SGS3. Slim-i9300-2.7.0-OFFICIAL is the name of the rom [I copied it directly].
After making a backup of my current rom, installing this rom and installing the new gapps, I rebooted the device and nothing has worked since... [this happened about 12 hours ago].
Now, when I take out the battery and plug the charger in, the notification light becomes solid red. But nothing works...I can't go into download mode, I can't go into recovery. I knew this immediately when the phone did not vibrate after me holding down the power button for a few minutes.
The red notification light only turns on when I plug in the phone when the battery is out. If I put the battery in, after a few moments it goes away. I honestly thought maybe the battery was just dead...but I left it plugged in all night and I still can't do anything with the phone.
Please, any help for me and whtnld would be much appreciated...
@OP
Did you mod the build.prop for any reason? (Google wallet maybe?)
If you did and then tried to update/install recovery through Rom Manager, it may have tried to install the wrong recovery on the wrong partition, resulting in a hard brick.

You flashed an intl rom. Hard bricked. Need JTAG repair or replace unit.
I was about to say, isn't the i9300 the intl version? the tgh-t999 is the TMOUS version.
You have to let go of the power button to get into recovery.

Easy Way to find out if it's hard bricked is to connect your phone to pc... If pc displays qhsusb - I forget what else then you are hard bricked and need to jtag fix it which should run you around 60 buxs. Sorry bud if that's the case but next time don't flash anything i9300 if you have a t999

Rom manager is too buggy imo. Goo manager and TWRP recovery is the way to go next time.
I have the Note 2 from At&t. I tried to upload the Hawkish extreme rom. All went ok but my mobile network didn't work. So then I tried to reverse it all and go back to what I had running before, Still NO NETWORK. I then tried to go to a different rom the JEDI one. SAME problem. I tried to follow a few threads but didn't know how to download a modem like one suggested. So then I tried to flash back to he beginning and go to stock. That's when things got worse. My phone was AT&T witch is model I317 but when I changed to a new rom the model changed to DT-7105 I think so I used that one. SO now my phone I only a black screen. I cant get into the download or upload modes. If I remove the battery all I get is the Galaxy note logo when your phone first turns on then it does ALLBLACK. SO can someone help me PLEASE.

You know what they said, once it gone black it's not going back. Joking. See you if could make or buy a jtag to get the phone into download mode to try to recover with a stock flash using Odin.

If you can't get to download mode try goin to recovery mode and flash the Skynote rom with modem for att from the link. You question about jtag it the device you plug in to your phone and it will put your phone to download mode you can easily get them from fleabay.

Not sure what upload mode is:
Recovery mode: hold vol up, power and home button.
Download mode: hold vol. down, power and home button.
Sometimes people get the two confused and not realise what dl mode is.
Idk what hawkish rom is but if your phone is locked, and your not running a tw rom you may have borked your phone.
You need to get to dl mode somehow.
Hence the jtag suggestion. Check ebay.

Dear Friend , I have a galaxy nexus gsm version ( maguro ) , I have the following issue :
I 'm not able with my phone to go in recovery mode or reboot the system , every operation that I try to do on my mobile is not possible.
I have not problem of battery , and is not possible to connect the device by usb cable to the pc.
How can I solve it ? :crying:
Thank you in advanced.
So it just won't turn on? Or will it turn on but refuse to respond? Did you do anything to it or did it do anything just before it stopped working?
Does the computer even recognize the phone is plugged in? There is a thread in this forum about recovering a bricked galaxy nexus.
Shortly after we got our Nexi (the plural of Galaxy Nexus?), my wife's phone wouldn't power on. It wouldn't recognize the charger was plugged in, and wouldn't do anything. I took the battery out, and held the power button for 15-20 seconds. I put the battery back in, and plugged in the charger, with the phone powered off. The charging animation came on. I was then able to power the phone on normally, and we've had no issues since then. It's at least worth a shot.
Call Google or Samsung.
