flashed a skyrocket rom on my t989 accidently, the link for the rom was in the t989 thread not for the skyrocket. well cant boot into anything tottally dead im planning on buying a usb jig if not i might send for jtag fix but i want to try Jib First. i see alot of people have this problem too but they ask and some people say jigs work some say they dont. does it work on this model?
Skyrocket ROMs don't brick this phone, they only screw up the rotation. What's the link you downloaded?
Have you tried getting into recovery just make sure you tried correctly

Hello
If this has already been asked im sorry, i have searched and only found one thing on this which wasnt anything really to do with this.
I have come from a SGS2 and wondered can you use odin to flash the tar files you can donload from google, since this phone is samsung and has an odin mode.
Like i said once again sorry if im gonna get shot down in flames, hence why i have posted this here, and also if its in the wrong place aswell im sorry.
Be gentle as this is my first post

I like this one!
[HOWTO] Go Back to Stock
OK THANKS
ok heres the deal thanks guys.....i used a insucure kernel to flash....(root).....then did a nandroid....before rom.....but i dont know if having a inscure kernel is stock....plus the big one i cant get rid of superuser(cant find it in astro) plus what is this counter thing in download mode it used to say 0 now it says 1 ...i was told a jig resets this back to zero? is haveing a insecure kernerl really stock? it says stock but can they tell if if the kernel is insucure? or by this counter in download mode? did i do right by doing a nandroid before rom? if so is this nandroid the closet thing to stock? i flashed a stock kernel but is this the same thing as the insecure one.................i know this is alot of questions but like i said the g2x was far more easier to deal with or my previous galaxys.......please dont bash me.....
i bricked it by flashing the villianrom 3.0. i realized my mistake and what i want to know is 1) Is my Phone COMPLETELY bricked? 2) Will a usb Jig work on a COMPLETELY bricked device?
I do have the option of easily replacing it, but that is the last resort thing. I want to know answers to these questions, not our $0.02 on this. i was fully aware of the hardware differences but did not know the VillianROM was for ATT GS2.
Sorry wrong section. Can someone move it to T-Mobile Galaxy S II section?

You should get a jig and try it out to be sure. If it is completely bricked you can get it unbricked.

This should really go over in the S3 forums, correct location and the people over there are more likely to be able to help you. I reported the topic to a moderator and hopefully they'll get you taken care of.
what rom did you flash, because if you flashed a rom for another phone, your fear is confirmed. i have done the same thing with my last phone.
i have heard of some phones using odin, and other tricks on youtube, but usually after wiping a phone ,like you did, there is little you can do to fix it.
Hi everyone, I just now flashed a kernal too my Samsung Galaxy S3 SGH T999 and it wont go into download mode or it wont go into TWRP. I already know I bricked it. I think I might have flashed it wrong but I am not sure so any help would be appreciated. I know I bricked it and I don't have the money too buy a new one

I can't remember it happened so fast can you help me?
I know I flashed it wrong I need help bad can you help me?
I can't help you if you can't remember what you downloaded and flashed.

Plug onto the computer and open device manager, or look for the pop up window in the system tray. If it says Qhsusb or something to that effect, it's bricked.
More than likely you flashed a kernel for a different model.
There is a debrick thread in development section. You can try that, but no guarantees.
And a quick couple of things if I may. In the future read search read read read! You cannot just go blindly flashing the first cool thing you see. You need to learn what you are doing or be destined to repeat this mistake in the future.
And when requesting help (or creating a thread for any reason), please use a descriptive title.
And lastly, if you had taken the time to search and read, you probably would've found the debrick thread on your own and not even needed this. But also, you probably wouldn't have had the problem in the first place had you done so in the beginning. (And googling galaxy s3 kernel, doesn't count)

That's the thing my phone won't turn on and my laptop won't read it
Then all you can really do is try the debrick method. If that doesn't work it sounds like you'll have to take/send it to a shop for repair.

How much harder would it be if my phone was hard bricked?
I think it's either hard bricked or a hardware failure. If it's hardware you're definitely out of luck. If it's bricked, there's a chance, but no guarantees.
