Hey guys . I Picked up a three month old galaxy this morning. I have had problems rooting before but always managed to fix them but this I cannot figure out. Here is exactly what I did and what happened.
1.First I rooted my phone using GalaxyS3RootUSCanadaMac.
2. Downloaded the following, superuser, ezunlock, and rom manager.
3. Flashed clokworkrecovery through rom manager.
4. Unlocked the bootloader with ezunlock
5. Tried to reboot into recovery via clockwork and it would just hang and never reboot.
6. Decided to do a restart , so I clicked power on the right hand side and selected restart.
7. Fell asleep and woke up to a dead phone.
I cannot get it to boot at all , not even in download mode. I get no lights or vibrations when trying to boot. If I remove the battery and hook the usb cord in I get a red light at the top but not with the battery in.
Any info on what I might have done wrong or what I can try to do to fix it would be great.
Thanks in advance guys.

This is completely inapplicable to the i747m, and the reason your phone's bricked.
Unless you can somehow get into download mode, you're going to need a JTAG to recover it.

Any suggestions n how to get into download mode? Also I have a usb JTAG from programming cable boxes but Im not sure if it will work?
I believe I read about someone else who used this. The unlocker is made for the Verizon variant. You will need JTAG service to get your phone up and running.

Looks like Samsung has come through and is going to warranty it. It was repaired today by having the board replaced. Hopefully I will have it back next week.

I just bricked my rooted T989. Nothing happens when I hit power (no display) and my PC does not show the drives when I connect via USB. I have tried vol buttons + power (with battery and [no battery + cable]). Does anyone have any ideas as to what I should try next? Is TMO likely to replace/repair my phone even though it had been rooted?
Have you tried getting into download mode? And what caused the brick?

I was flashing a new ROM and it bricked when it finished flashing. It just never rebooted. I can't get into download mode.

This is really embarassing but I somehow stumbled up WickedRom, which is for the I9100, somehow thought it was for T989, and tried to flash it. Obviously a major league screw up. I have requested a replacement from TMO. I just hope they don't hit me with a major financial penalty if Samsung notices that it has been rooted (it was rooted when I tried flashing WickedRom).

Same thing happened here... I was odining back to stock and the power in my office at work went out... total fail. All Black, no power button, battery pull or Jig will make the phone do anything... anyone find a work around for this... I did this to my VIB before and was able to get it to work again but this just feels bad. Any help is appreciated. Los Angeles area dev's feel free to come play with it.
hey i know im new here but i got the answer... u need 2 odin back 2 stock 4 download mode pull battery plug usb into computer then 2 phone hold vol up and trackpad then insert battery and u will be in download mode also if using CWM dont fix permissions and also dont forget 2 place unzipped recovery file in /system/bin folder and overwrite it over existing file also make sure that cache, data, sdcard ,and system are all unmounted in mounts option of recovery took me 3 days of flashin back 2 stock with odin and soft bricking my phone 2 figure this out hope it helps
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1358401
perhaps people should have shown a bit more support?
Your fault !
Damn that sounds bad, big mistake on your part though, differentiating between i9100 and T-989 is key, among the other models too.
Mine did the same thing after doing a backup. I'm in the 30 day grace period and I'm gonna try to take it back in.. Hopefully I get away with it unless I find a way to fix it

Only way is to send it to Samsung or get it JTAG. JTAG will probably be cheaper.
I restored my phone to stock then made a backup using CMW. I placed the CWM back up in the original_update folder of the android kitchen. Then went into the android kitchen and deodexed, rooted and intalled busy box. Then i built the rom, signed it, placed it on my SD, card booted into recovery, flashed SuperWipe then flashed the rom I made. It installed fine and booted up but i didn't have any signal. So i let it sit for about 5 minutes then Powered off my phone but it stayed at the Good Buy screen for like ten minutes so i pulled the battery, when i tried to boot it back up it wouldn't do any thing. I held the power button down and nothing happened. I tried plugging in a usb cable and my phone still would't do anything Its completely unresponsive
Any suggestions?

I sadly did the same thing. I'm still trying to figure out what I did wrong in the kitchen to brick my phone. Mine powered up as well but upon restart it bricked. But its sad to say but its bricked. I did a warranty exchange. If you connect the phone to the computer it will register as qhsusb_dload and not an Android phone. Best of luck.

Unfortunately I don't have a contract with T-Mobile so i can't do a warranty exchange. I ordered the USB Jig and i'm gunna see if that fixes it, if not I guess it's just a paper weight :\

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but if its registering as a ghsusb_dload device, a jig won't work.....how do I know you may ask? Cause I tried that as well before the exchange. Haha. Good news is you can pay someone to jtag your device. I think its like 50-100 but way better than 600 for a new phone. You should be able to find the link around the forums somewhere.

dude i don't restrict my Girlfriend to use my phone since she has a ****ty one.. just didn't realize that one apps that she would install would #[email protected]$ it up ... but hey **** happens and i wont blame her for that. and i also some other people that got there S3 not functional like mine.
so i will keep searching for clues on maybe a fix. or will contact MobileTech..
not the first time to root and ROM other androids.. just bad luck..
and that App also add something to do with he Bootlaoder that i found.. so ya not sure if that had to do something with it.
My past experience with MobileTechVideos has been absolutely superb! When I hardbricked my Captivate I shipped it off and within a week it was back in my hands. The owner, Josh, even offered to flash the newest version of the ROM I was on(Serendipity 6.4 I think) for free! They are professional and have great prices.
Also, what does every single person always say? READ, READ, and READ AGAIN.
Best of luck.

Send your phone to mobiletechvideos.com . The owner Josh is a great guy and has JTagged a device for me 2 weeks ago. The day he received my phone he fixed it and sent it back within 2 hours. I highly recommend them.

Here's what I would do.
1) Try to get into download or recovery mode: hold either down or up volume key, home key, and then power key and see if you get anything at all.
2) Try a jig to get into download mode (you can find one for sales through mobiletech.
3) Try launching Odin and plugging in phone to see if Odin sees the phone.
4) Worst case is mobiletech for JTAG.

3)I did and the Odin never saw it.
4) Tomorrow ill know if i get a new phone or not.. if not ill be contacting Josh to send him my phone and get it revived.
i look up a lot of stuff and unfortunately this phone is done.. ether i send it to mobile tech and get it JTAG or get a replacement.
but thx bro for pointing out suggestion. really appreciate.

Agreed-
Try pulling the battery and waiting a few seconds, then try to reboot. I did something while installing a rom and the phone booted but just showed a black screen but I didn't realize it.

What rom did you flash...be specific...and where did you find it from?
Do you have TMobile PHP? If you do then you can get a replacement S3 for $5 from TMobile customer care. That is probably the easist way to fix this issue.

Reboot into recovery mode and wipe cache, dalvik cache and do a factory reset in recovery.
Do NOT wipe/format system.
Then reboot the phone and it should work fine.

okay i have the same exact problem. i tried to flash darkyrom iii from androidgeeks.com or something like that, and, i also didn't see that it was for the i9300 only and it went through the little setup process from within cwm (like its own little installer) all steps went fine and everything. asked if i wanted to reboot, i touched "no" then the installer closed and brought me back to cwm and cwm decided to just reboot my phone on its own anways. now im waiting for it to boot, nothing. research, take the battery out along with the sim and sd for about 45 minutes. nothing. i plug it into the computer and nothing happens. i take out the battery and plug it into the computer, again to no prevail. so with the battery out and the phone plugged into the computer, i hold power, home and volume down and a red led comes on the phone and the computer makes the "attatched device" sound. but isnt recognized by kies or odin. will a jig help me out at all?
*edit* i got the rom from here; android.gs/update-galaxy-s3-darkyrom-android-4-1-2-jelly-bean/

You are about about the 50th person in the past couple months who done the same thing, flashing a 9300 rom.
The only way to get the phone back into proper working condition is to send it off to be Jtag'ed.
There are some very good deals on Jtag if you go to eBay and search for "JTAG Galaxy S3".
Good Luck!
thank you

Nope, I never had a need to. But I have read here in XDA that people do get excellent service at a good price at eBay.

hmmm... i was leading into my next queston which would have been; is there any specific seller you may have read about or saw somewhere that i should go to? cause, for me, ebay is a little... "ehhhhh.." you know what i mean? plus on top of that im sending in my phone so i just want to make sure everything is from a trusted source.
bricked my LGOG, cant get into recovery and LGNPST wont recognize it when i plug it in when its in download mode. I've decided to just give up and take it in to bestbuy tomorrow. I have the geeksquad protection and i know i cant tell them it was rooted and unlocked. I figure ill just tell them i was doing the ZVC update and the phone died. Well, thats what i did last time so i figure it should work this time. Hopefully, they have more LGOGs in stock, if not ill be moving to an EVO 4G LTE (which isnt all bad since its getting 4.3 by the end of 2k13) or an iPhone 5C. Any recommendations on what I should tell them?

Do you want to give up your LGOG?
1.Are you using USB 3.0 ports? Try it on other USB ports, hopefully 2.0
2.Try another cable
3. Uninstall then reinstall the drivers and LGNPST
4. Use the LGFlashtool. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2443185
Just some more options for you
Telling the geek squad the update hard bricked... its basicly exactly the same as zvb. I would just try to blame it on hardware...not a bug fix update....or walk tall

Another option for us to use. It will wipe everything including SD. It's like repair shop fixer.

If you need help , I willing too take a crack at unbricking it. If you can get the phone into download , just pm me
I had the exact same problem and the exact same best buy protection. They didn't even ask how it happened. They saw that it wouldn't boot and just ordered me a new one. Best insurance available.

honestly, idk. I was walking home, called my mom, the call ended out of no where and i had no data. i restarted the phone, still no data. I went into freegee to try and restore an old EFS backup to see if that would fix it, it said it couldnt restore. Tried to reboot into recovery to restore my CM 10.2 backup and it wouldnt boot.
