I flashed a new ROM, everything went alright, no error of anykind, when I rebooted the phone, the screen goes black, no vibration of anykind. I already tried taking the battery out and waiting 30 to 60 secs, hitting the power bottom without the battery then putting the battery right in and trying to get into recovery mode.
Everytime i plug the phone into the computer via USB, the computer makes a noise like it recognized the device but then asks me for the "Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM" drivers. I think i found those, not sure yet... Please help... I can't sent the phone to customer service since i rooted the phone my warranty is void.
Help please.
Bricked take it in play dumb they won't know your rooted its dead. JTAG will fix it 50 bucks I think. Weird it booted and was fine then won't boot. If you take it to T-Mobile play dumb they don't know any better. No wanted damage or cracks they'll replace it. Just call they'll mail one to you.

The issue was that he installed the wrong rom on his device. Happens all the time with the t989. He probably flashed a rom for an i9100. Both devices are marketed as the samsung galaxy s2, which confuses new users.
Try using Odin to flash the stock ROM. can you get it in download mode?

and it's good to have it, or keep it if you already have one
it will come in handy for flashing and resetting stuff, and rescue recovery operations for those Oooops! times
The jig puts the phone into download mode but it does not reset the custom binary counter. Unless this was discovered.
Where is the best place to buy one or if any one has a extra one PM me and im assuming they mean a soft brick correct?

So you have personal experience with it and you're saying when you tried it, it did not work to reset the binary counter?
That's the whole point of the jig, otherwise you can just put it in download mode by holding the buttons, so that's to say the jig doesn't work with T989?
Yes, the jig does not reset the custom binary counter, but does put it into download mode. samsung has patched their bootloader and unless someone finds a way around it wont work with our galaxy s ii
Have you ttied it? I did some research and found this http://galaxys2root.com/galaxy-s2-hacks/how-to-make-a-usb-jig-for-your-galaxy-s2/ this article states and has pictures of a custom jig resetting the custom binary/rom counter

i didnt see it either... daddymatt said it worked for his phone and his signature said he posted from a SGH-t989 xda app. so i wonder where he got his from.
I haven't tried it and know it doesn't state our model, but if the sprint and att version are all made by Samsung, shouldn't it theoretically work on ours.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App
ours is different then both of those due to processor and other things so im thinking it wouldnt but im not sure???
the sprint and att version both come with 2.3.4 correct? and ours came with 2.3.5? maybe there was a patch for the jig in the update?
Sorry guys, didn't realize there was a question. I ordered mine from Amazon about 6 months ago... looks like any other I have seen with no distinguishing marks just a tiny black box the same size as the microusb male end... hum, ill see if I can track down the vendor I purchased it from.

Where did you guys get instructions on making them? Could you post some? If not I'll make an instructional.
I don't know why, but the xlite rom has killed my phone.
NO POWER WHATSOEVER.
I plugged it in to the wall and a I get a red LED for about a minute, and then it goes away.
This is my FIRST DAY w/ the GS3.

I'll clue you in on the problem....xlite is a rom for the international galaxy siii and you are in a forum dedicated to the AT&T version. One would deduce that you flashed the wrong rom on your phone. My suggestion is to read, read, read before you flash anything else if you are able to unbrick your phone.

Dude, everyone else flashed it with no problem at all. If you had a problem, its YOUR fault. This is why devs have to put a disclaimer with there roms, cuz stupid people mess up there phones and blame it on the devs work. They arent the ones who did something wrong to your phone.

I just got my phone Jtagged because it was bricked from what i believe was triangle away.
Anyways, i go to backup with titanium back, process starts and its stuck at 17% for a while, i get a text message and read it. I then slide down the notification bar to go back into the backup, i press it and it just goes right back to the home page of my galaxy s3. so try going into titanium backup from the main page and it says "configuring data" i believe. So i wait a while on that screen and it just says configuring data, the notication bar shows tit.backup runnin the backup still at 17&. So i hold the power button and hit reset, and now the phone wont turn on, wont go into download or recovery. Completely bricked like last time. I cant believe this, anything i do just bricks my phone.
Also, i unlocked the bootloader with EZ unlock, i did this befor using titanium backup. Could this have caused it?
It must be EZ unlock that bricked my phone both times!! **** sakes, have to jtag again, there goes another $85 to JTAG it.
i used this methon to root. which says to download ez unluck and unlock the bootloader. I am now finding out that EZ unlock is for Verizon only. So ****in pissed right now.

If you can look at one of those chinese/asian cell phone storesyou will probably find a jtag there. The one I go to is in Barnaby Crystal Mall. My phone is also bricked, but since I have it on a three year contract I get the repair for free. I also think they should do something about the version crap. I9300 gets all the good roms, and i747m barely gets any.

hi everyone -
i have screwed up royally. after reading and reading and searching and searching (all day - my eyes are bleeding at this point)...i have decided to take a shot and post and see if there is a solution out there.
please accept my apologies ahead of time if this has been covered somewhere else, but i am at a complete loss and really need some guidance.
my phone is bricked but i have not found an exact scenario to mine.
on boot, my phone displays the same as the image above that @stevediaz posted.
i can access the download menu (cannot access restore menu) BUT my device is not recognized by any machine or by odin, so i am unable to flash anything on it and i have a steady blue LED light.
is there a work around to this? is there anything i can do to get odin/my pc to recognize my device? if i can't fix it myself i plan to send it to mobiletechvideos before i completely give up and bury my beautiful brick.
i have rooted my devices before and have never bricked a phone. i'm pretty sure i just used the incorrect rom which is a horrible terrible rookie mistake...one which i am terribly embarrassed about.
i will never make this mistake again! ever ever ever. i am looking at my beautiful phone just sitting there looking at me with accusing & accurate eyes. sighs.
if posting this here is not kosher, please let me know, but i figured since this thread is the only one i have found with a situation resembling mine, it would be a good place to start.

Does your device display a yellow triangle before the screen above and say GT-i9100? You already have the blue brick of death, so mobiletechvideos is your only hope, because right now your phone has drivers from the international version which disables the usb so the pc will not recognize it. After getting it back from mobiletech, ensure you flash something from this forum ONLY. It must be from the Epic 4G touch SPH-D710 in order to work on your phone.

got the phone back...and it works, except that they installed the sprint stock rom instead of the virgin mobile stock rom as requested. researching now to flash a virgin mobile rom, but given my previous experience, safe to say i am uber paranoid.
Hi, I was rooting and installing a custom ROM on my fiancee's GS3... And I clicked the wrong version (19300 because they were right next to each other). I ran all the way through the aroma install and it asked me if I wanted an automatic reboot so I said yes. Now the phone won't turn on, go into download mode or anything. When I plug it in, the LED only comes on if the battery is out.
Is there something I can do? Would a jig fix this? Would a local phone repair shop be able to fix it relatively cheaply? I know it's a total n00b mistake but I've rooted about 9 phones before with no problems.
Please help!

I also have a jtag riffbox for repairing, well, almost any hard brick and the S3 can definitely be fixed. No worries.

Thank you for your responses. I finally googled "QHSUSB_DLOAD" because I was trying to get it to show up in Odin, and found this thread:

Worked perfectly. I didn't even need a jig, much less a jtag!
