Your tired to flash a rom which was never intended for the T999 phones.
So now your phone is bricked, you will need to send it in for repair.

Yeah I'm not sure what went on because I've flashed a few ROMS and tweaks on my phone with no problem. I'm not sure what went on with the ported ICS ROM

Do not flash unstable roms. I usually wait for official stable roms and making a nand backup before doing anything.
Thank you all guys. My phone successfully turned on...Thanks again
If you want to use the skyrocket port use DARKSIDE SUPER WIPE! I was having the same problem then i started from scratch, did the super wipe, installed the skyrocket rom and it runs perfect for me.

Good to hear man, glad you got it working again. it would be way too expensive of a paperweight if you were unable to flash it back.
Yeah I was worried I would have to just buy a new one. But thanks to you guys I got it working

Note for future: use the backup feature in recover before flashing things you aren't sure of.
The backup in recovery is referred to as a nandroid if you didn't know already, it will always bring you back to exactly how your phone previously was. This way you won't have to ever ODIN to stock.

Hey guys i am completely stumped.
I tried flashing the aristodemos rom into my phone and ever since then i cant get past the logo screen.
I was running the paranoidandroid rom through the AOSP JB kt474 kernel before i flashed the aristodemos rom.
Since then i have tried flashing the stock kernel and the stock pre-rooted Rogers rom with no luck.
My last shot at it was downloading the Official stock firmware of the sgh-i747m for rogers from the samsung-updates website.
Can someone please help me out here i have tried to hold back and not start my own thread and just look around in the forums but i cant seem to find any solution.
So, if you have any idea on how i can get my phone back up and running please help!
Can you get into recovery mode or not?

HI, sorry to bother you guys. I formatted my system in recovery mode and now i cant get passed that dreaded samsung galaxy s3 logo. I can still go to download mode and i can still go to CMW-based recovery v5.5.0.4. I just cant figured out what rom? or firmware? i should download. (I am a noob here so hang in there.) Please help. My last resort is going to sprint and telling them i accidently formatted the system. Again if anyone can help please reply thanks!...:crying:

Download cm10 and the gaaps and flash them in that order in your recovery. Your phone should work afterwards. Makes sure you clear cache /dev before flash.

Hi there,
Can someone please help me as I think I have soft bricked my phone and can't figure out how to fix it.
I previously had a rooted device running Phandroid.
I then used the Toolkit and attempted to "Flash an unsecure boot image". Since then, my phone will not boot up. It hangs at the samsung logo screen.
I have used Odin to flash a default "STOCK" image on the device, but the same problem exists.
I tried flashing new boot images but the same issue exists. Perhaps I am using the wrong file?
If anyone has any tips I would really appreciate it.
Thank you.
first shouldve put this in q&a
second factory data reset then flash back stock with odin then you should be good

thanks for the reply. i realized my mistake. i flashed the international boot image instead of the one for my device. can you please advice me on how to fix it. I tried flashing the stock rogers firmware with odin but its not working.
i realized the secret. After flashing the stock rogers firmware, you must boot into the default android recovery and wipe your cache and data.
that resolved my boot-freeze issue.
thanks.
This is the second post that I have seen tonight regarding this same problem. What the heck is happening here?

If he is able to reach download mode then this statement is completely false, not to mention the problem was fixed at the time of your post.....
Missed his response.
In my experience flashing the wrong firmware means hard-brick.
Cheers.

More often than not, yes it does....but it is not an absolute your are F'ed. It is still worth going through all the possibilities of getting into download mode and correcting the error before immediately condemning someone to a potentially costly repair.
True enough.
That's why I got a jig - just in case.

Hello,
I was at 4.0.1 and I have tried to install 10.1 (after installing the ROM Over kernel).
I get i9100 screen on startup and it does not boot.
However, I am able to access recovery and Download Mode (I can flash using Odin)
Can anyone direct me towards how I can install a custom ROM?
Help would be appreciated.
Well you got lucky...
Doing that will hard brick your phone....
Go in to download mode and install a one-click and that shoulf get you back to stock
And make sure that you are flashing ROMs for the E4GT ONLY.

Not entirely true. Some kernels will provide the i9100 splash screen.
OP. What exactly did you flash?
Also, do not double post. You already posted in the general section.

Ok so I have been using Wicked Sensations ROM for quite some time but I have to return my phone back to stock form as the USB port doesn't function correctly. Sprint sent me a replacement, but I have already moved over to Verizon and got a Note 3 (vastly superior phone btw).
I have to return the phone to stock, obviously, so I am attempting to do the process described in this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1904099
I was able to flash the zip just fine and I get into stock recovery, wipe cache, then wipe data/restore, but then the phone sits at the SAMSUNG GALAXY S3 screen the Wicked Sensations ROM used to show on boot up. THe phone does nothing and will not launch into the OS.
I went into download mode and I see:
PRODUCT NAME: SPH-L710
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: No
CUSTOM BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE
I checked the version of the ROM before I attempted to go back to stock and it was at 4.1.3, so I would think KNOX shouldn't be an issue.
Please help I am desperate!

You need to find a stock tar and flash thru Odin. I'd go to youtube and look up qbking77 and how to unroot. I believe he has the links on there to the tars and stuff.

I have done a factory reset/recovery and it just sits at the screen I described in my OP.
I have searched high and low for the 4.1.3 update and so far that site you linked is the only place I've found it. However, I find it very suspicious that in order for me to sign up for a free account, I have to give them my credit card for "verification purposes".
Can anyone else help me?
I guess I'll keep bumping this until I hit 10 posts so I can submit it to the guy who make the ROM is used to go back to stock.
Can you not PM someone until post 10 as well?

I'm not exactly sure what to tell you to do since your on stock recovery now and usb port doesn't work. But at least I can help you get your 10 posts in. You should still be able to pm with less than 10 posts though, unless they changed it.
