I was trying to go back to 2.3.x using ODIN after I installed the KP8 (update for a "leaked" ics) on my phone. Now my computer won't read the phone on download mode. Anyone have a fix for this?
Or do you know if that USB JIG will fix it?
that was not for our phone....malciado....jtag is your only fix
sent from the near past
Yea..... GSM + CDMA = your screwed
There is no leak for ICS for our phones yet.
So you flashed the GSM version.
2 options:
Sprint insurance
or
buy a new phone
No one has been successful at jtag, I wouldn't even waste my time.

Not even with the USB JIG? No one has tried it?
Its been tried and unsuccessful

Sigh. Add one more to the list of bricked phones due to flashing an ICS leak meant for the International SGS2. As said above, your only option is to send the phone to JTAG if you want to use it again.

I'm screwed. I flashed this phone to Cricket so no insurance. And I doubt Samsung will warranty it if though it has a clean esn with Sprint right?
Can anyone vouch for this?

Look up JTAG on Google. I believe they charge $50 for unbricking service. You'll be out of a phone for awhile, but it's not like the phone is going to do you any good in its current state anyways.
Good luck.

Yea bro just placed my order from Mobile Tech Videos i'll post up how everything went to help others out with this problem. Good thing I kept my EVO for backup
I can vouch that nothing will work. I had someone send me theirs to try and,I installed drivers through Kies, got drivers from XDA, tried a USB jig, hard reset, my SD card with Mobile Odin on it, etc, etc, etc. If when you hold volume up and power and you have the green Android guy holding a box and your phone says I9100, its jtag or nothing. I spent a week (about an hour a day) trying everything. If your phone powers on but you can't connect to wifi or SD card isn't recognized and no network is found, don't even waste your time. I tried because I hoped I could pull it off with the help of some of the great minds from around here but it just wouldn't be recognized by Odin....and it does beep when I plug it into my laptop....so close yet so far

I flashed my wife's phone and ended up with this same issue. I tried everything with no success. Luckily the phone was within the 14 day period and was able to return it and get a replacement.
Just told them the battery would not last 4 HRS, it was fully stock besides the bootloader.
Odin wouldn't recognize it but the pc would. Tried mobile Odin, tried flashing anything and everything, nothing would work.

Asking for help not helpless remarks, if want to keep doing that I also live in Kansas City just in case you want to keep goin at it. Let's keep these forums full of usefull tools not full of useless comments.
The issue is, the Jig, either doesn't work, or I don't know how to use it. Any help would be great!

I read some where usb jigs do NOT work with the Galaxy S3 like it did with the Epic Touch.Samsung change it somehow. I don't remember where I read it though. I have a jig and when I plug it in while the phone is off its supposed to automatically take you into download mode and it doesn't.

Let me guess. International rom, and pc sees it as QHSUSB_DLOAD? sound right? Jig Is totally worthless. It's a paperweight. Jtag is ur only hope.

Can you even power on your phone? How long have you had your phone? If you are within the 14 day period and you can't power on the phone, I'd recommend that you take it back to the sprint store and get them to replace it. If you can't power it on, then they most likely won't be able to either. If you're not within the 14 days then they'll be able to ship you a new phone under the 1 year warranty. I made the mistake of accidentally flashing a kernel for my ET4G on my S3. I couldn't power my phone on. Took it in to them, they couldn't power it on either and was able to get a replacement on the spot, no questions asked. I told them that I was I was in the middle of an update when the phone restarted and then I couldn't power it back on.
Only other thing you can to is ship it out and have someone JTAG the device for you. MobileTechVideos.com has been mentioned in other threads as a JTAG service.
Hope this helps.
Ok so i accidentally flashed UltimaROM v2.4 - [XXDLIB][AROMA][834MB] for the Samsung Galaxy S III I9300, I9305 onto my samsung galaxy s3 ATT SGH-I747 and now my phone wont turn or go into recovery or download mode but when i hook it up to my computer, my computer will make the noise when a device is connected and when i hold the home power and volume up/down my computer makes the noise.Can anyone HELP me please.

Your completely bricked. U flashed bootloaders for a different device. A jig will not help. Do a search for mobiletechvideos and jtag. Sucks but it's your only solution. Unless u send it back to Samsung
Jtag is becoming more popular, on Craigslist I found a few people locally offering the service..
Might want to check to see if you have anybody locally that can do it.

I even tried holding down Volume Down and Home Power and it doesn't even turn on. It doesn't even go into the Logo screen....

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.
It does help to know exactly what it was you tried to flash.

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.

I flashed it with the Omega ROM with the I9300 version thinking that my phone was that same model. Very dumb on my part .
Sadly I don't have PHP.
Would a JIG help my phone reboot to the download state?

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?

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

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.

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.
