Help! Phone not turning on

Hey guys,
I am having an issue with my phone. I had CM10-M2 running on my phone and I didnt like it that much because I missed some of the stock features so I decided I would flash the foxhound 1.3 rom that just came out. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1708371 that one.
I followed the instructions and did everything that was recommended.
The phone turned off and now won't even go into recovery or anything. Just a black screen.
Please help!
ps the phone is on Rogers and is an i747ma
Thanks,
Zach
Edit: I dont know what this means but when I take the battery out and plug it in the red light comes on but still nothing else

You do know thats for the international galaxy s3 right?

Yeah that's a pretty big **** up...If this doesn't work then you're hard bricked....not sure if it's different for the rogers version. Someone else may be able to confirm.

I can't get anything to come up on the screen at all.

If I cant get the screen to turn on at all should I be getting a USB jig or getting JTAG service?

Is there literally nothing I can do if the screen isnt turning on?
Odin isnt recognizing the phone but when I plug it into my computers it stills chimes that something has been plugged in. Also when I connect it to a power source without the battery in, the LED turns red.
Any tips?
Thanks so much,
Zach

No sorry...you've hardbricked.

Welp ****. I took it to Rogers but since I bought it off of kijiji they couldnt do anything. It was bought on October 2nd and they said I couldnt even send it for repair because it wasnt registered to me.
I called Samsung and they said to ship it for a repair but even if they can't repair it, they couldnt replace it. The lady said she would have to tell Rogers to replace it but Rogers already said they wouldnt.
What do?

hey i screwed up the same way you did before flashed a international rom of wanam lite. all you have to do is send it to samsung repair they fix it for 70 dollars!! mine had a big scratch at it i was OOW and had to pay 100 extra but assuming you have no scratches or anything they should do it for free for you!! try again just blame samsungs software update screwed ur phone up and for sure they should take it and fix it for free

They told me that don't even do replacements?

I called twice and spoke to two people and both set up repair tickets but wouldnt even entertain the thought of a replacement.
What did you do?

Did you actually get it from the Rogers store? Because when you do they can issue replacements but when you buy it from somebody else they said that they couldn't do it.

Update: Got JTAG servicing in Toronto (at mtechservice). Took 10 minutes, no soldering, and everything is back to normal. No more stupid mistakes and a lot more reading. Thanks for the help guys.

haa d2att bro all u need to remember

Seems like you should research more before flashing roms. If you find out how to fix your phone be more careful next time. If you aren't sure always ask in the Q&A section. A comment from a user can save your phone.

Hey Question did you even try a JIG ? that is the only thing that will get you into DL mode when soft bricked

HI,
remove the battery and push the power button for 30s (or so). Put the battery back on and power the phone. Let me know if it works.
Pierre.

Is the red led glowing ?
Which rom were you on before this happened ?

This happened to me a couple of times when my phone was new. A battery pull fixes it but gotta admit is damn scary.

Rooting isn't a factor related to sds bug.
It is advised not to try anything and return it to service center.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app

Thank you all at first for your reply.
I heard in a service center that it can be flashed throw rifff and in this way the booting issue should be resolved.
Has anyone heard about this, and if it can be true how much safe is it?
Thank you again

Riff jtag doesn't say on it's website but I think I saw a video related to n7100.
Maybe using jtag with sboot.bin will help...

It was spontaneous and i don't believe anyone can have corrupt bootloader without doing any thing.
I put it to SDS category instead.

Can you attach image of download mode?

It happened to yesterday and even after trying countless times factory reset/wiped data and flashing Rom I still got stuck in a bootloop. So I went into recovery cwm and formatted system, data, etc and then refreshed the Rom and it worked. However my imei number was then changed to a generic one and I had to restore efs. Lucky I had a backup of it on my pc at all times.

Problem with mic.

Hi guys ive searched but couldnt find the answer for my problem. And some suggestions didnt work for me.
I sent in my xperia s for a warranty repair. Instead they sent me a replacement. However when in a call with noise supression on no one can hear me. With that option off people can hear me but very low. Ive tried factory reset and tried repairing with sus. Still the same issue. What can I try next? My warranty finishes in a couple of weeks. My firmware is .45
Funnily enough they also did not send the same usb cable that I sent. Instead I got one which looks like its been used since x10 days.

N7100 Sudden Death

Hello every1
This new post have the intention to bring all the N7100 with this issue right now here and if anyone have a way to unbrick it post it.
These days a friend came with hes Note 2 off, when i decided to check it i can only see a litle red led near the camera and the proximity sensor, i thought it was software so i decided to use my JIG to put it in download, no response from cellphone.
Just after thar triyed to get it on recovery and no answer from phone...
Google told me that this is a common issue, it is just the same thing like many S3 were gettin dead. Software error.....
Triyed to find any place that use JTAG on that model but had no luck.
Any idea? The worst thing of this is that there's no warranty to leave the phone.
Any one here just got the way to fullyunbrick it?
This cellohone was on 4.1.2 original ROM for international model.
Thanks in advance

My phone doesn't react to anything. It is totally blank so I can't enter download mode. Is there a way to fix it like a USB Jig with Samsung devices ? I don't have warranty on it now.

I was flashing a .kdz to my phone when it stopped at 95% with a wparam error message. Obviously the .kdz wasn't downloaded properly. So I am stuck with a hard bricked phone basically. This must be a very unlucky situation because nobody has ever reported a bricked phone because of flashing a faulty .kdz. :crying:

am in the same boat... i tried everything....and i messed my phone acting noob-ish by flashing a splash.img from optimus g to optimus g pro...non of the guides work becuase when i plug in to my laptop running windows 8.1 pro the device manager say QHSUSB_DLOAD

First check mobiletechvideos.com website. No all repair shop can fix it. Hardbrick needs special eqipment. Mobiletech has that. They are based in Texas. Usually they charge 50 dollar including one way shipping. First email them and they will advise you.I had gone through this process twice when I had samsung galaxy hard bricked. They fixed and shipped to me within a week.

Had the same problem.
Even the riff box didn't do ****.
Check with LG.
I've sent mine to the manufacturer even though I am not the original owner.
They have repaired it and sent it back . turnaround was somewhat 2 weeks.
They did not ask for any proof of purchase.
The 1 year manufacturer's warranty should be active for his to happen.
