Hi i was trying to instal a custom rom on my phone and it got bricked. I tried to enter download mode but it doesn't boot up. Now, when i connect it via USB to my computer, there is a red light on the notification led and my computer installs a driver called qhsusb_dload. Can anyone help?

May I ask, what ROM did you try to install before this happened?

I was installing the Ultima Rom awhile ago and I failed to have the stock text message application working at the time of the installation and my phone now does the same thing. All I get is the red light when I plug my phone into the wall or computer.
Go to tmobile and play dumb. They should overnight a phone to your house.

How about if my LCD screen is cracked? Would they still accept it?

It's weird...whenever I try to do any of those things, the screen will turn on for a moment [the backlight, no logo or anything comes up] and then after about a second immediately turns off....I tried injecting a rooted version of the stock rom with Odin into my phone, but I kept getting strange error messages like TouchWiz isn't working and some other android process isn't working.
[That didn't work, so I decided to try a different method. This is where I ****ed up, because I forgot to go back to stock rom...]
Anyways, after that, I tried to use the SGS3 Toolkit [if you search sgs3 toolkit xda, it'll come up] and I tried to use that to root. I went to "rooting options" and i selected option number 3, the all in one. I got to the point where it mentions your phone must be in USB debugging, and now nothing comes up when I try to start the phone..but it vibrates whenever I hold the power button long enough [as if it was working normally]. I can't get into download mode right now, either...
How do I reverse this and go back to stock? Please help...thank you so much.
EDIT: It's weird...whenever I try to do any of those things, the screen will turn on for a moment [the backlight, no logo or anything comes up] and then after about a second immediately turns off....
I'm basing this answer based on how I understood what you said...
But, if you're already rooted, then hopefully you've made a backup before installing another ROM. If you have a backup, then put into recovery and backup.
I wasn't already rooted, I was trying to root it. I can't get into recovery.

Can you get into download mode? By holding Volume up, home up and power.

Did you try pulling battery then putting it in and trying to boot recovery or download mode?

Was your phone plugged in when you tried get get into download mode? if so, try unplugging it and give it another shot. the s3 can be kind of funkysometimes.

Same thing, no dice :[
Plug it into the computer and see if anything shows in device manager.
I hate to say though, I think you may be bricked....
Unless anyone else can think of something to try?
Sorry man...

Also you can try safe mode. Doubt it'll work but I just learned how to do it so thought id suggest. Hold volume down + power.

Have you plugged into the computer and checked device manager yet? What does it say?
I think if it says something like qhsusb that means its bricked.
I'm hoping someone can verify that though since I'm going by memory.

No it should even if it's hard bricked. Maybe the pc isn't recognizing it

Well, I sent it back to T-Mobile and said hey it doesn't work. Let's see if they say anything about it. They sent me a new one, though
I'm having exactly the same problem with my T-Mobile Galaxy SII T989 running Open Kang AOKP JB Jelly Bean. After reading this thread, and another related thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1679492), my less than scientific observation is that pressing/massaging/jiggling the power button seems to bring the device back to life. At least until it flakes out again. The posts in this thread were a big help. I was going to ditch the ROM, which would have been a shame. Thanks.
Yes the power button is broken now i can't turn on my evo it is not rooted and usb debugging is checked off. how can i make it wake up? i know i can ise adb but debugging mode is unchecked so is there any way to turn it on? i do not have insurance and my contract is close to end up. but is there any way to do it ??
You can call the phone and decline the call. While the screen is on you can make whatever changes need to be made. That's about all I can think of since you're stock.
The advice is free....the bandwidth, not so much
But the cellphone is off.

Paper weight time... Or you can let me have it for parts...... no but you can take the case apart to reach the internal part of the power button..

I know with the 3vo you could do adb reboot while powered off. Dont know if it works on the og.

Woah really? Thats kinda cool
You mean while completely powered down right?
Sent from my PG06100
Yes when the 3vo is powered all the way off. It was a really cool feature. I used it when I had a pc img on the sdcard and needed to get into recovery. Unlike the EVO you either flash the pc img or reboot it won't allow you to do anything else.
I have never tried it with the og but it can't hurt to try.

Charge it. When fully charged, unplug the charger and plug it back in and the evo should respond if what they suggested didn't work.

Ok I just checked the adb and it is not like the 3vo it you not connect while off. I also tried your suggestion soap and that is also a not go but I found a way. Remove battery connect charger then put battery in and it boots. Hope this helps some. The next thing I would suggest is that you install a rom that allows you to wake the phone with your volume buttons. Then you should have a working phone. Or if you want to all out you could take it apart and replace the power button but might be more work than it is worth.
Thanks. I used a wire as bridge and it booted. Now i use anylock app. Thanks for your time

Does it boot up in download mode or not ?

Try holding power until you feel it vibrate. Maybe 10 seconds or so. If that doesnt help, pull the battery and put it back. Then try booting to recovery and factory reset / wipe data.

I called T-Mobile they will send me another replacement. I told them I just won't turn on. It's still covered. Which is good. Just gotta pay $5 for processing fee. What a relief it will be here tomorrow..
So last night I went to check my phone and it was off so I figured it had gone off on its own but upon trying to turn it on again I found that nothing was working. I plugged it in and got no response. Took out the battery, tried to boot to download mode, or reboot and have tried just about everything to be found online. I left it plugged in all night and nothing. I called samsung and their suggestion was to hold the power button pressed down for a few seconds so after that extremely well thought out suggestion didn't work they said that I'll have to take it in on monday as their service places here are closed during the weekends.
my problem is that I haven't backed up my info and I can't afford to lose it and they said that they will wipe it once they get their hands on it. I don't have a second battery to test but I just plugged it into my computer and it was recognized as a USB device. Nothing more, not what it is and doesn't show up anywhere and nothing has happened on the phone but at least it was recognized.
This is the most messed up issue I have every encountered and it happened entirely on its own. Im all stock and am running purely simple apps like viber and whatsapp and seriesguide and family guy. Its the most mild mannered phone and has the most messed up issue. Its like someone sucked the electricity from it. Please give me some ideas
You could probably enter download mode using an USB jig
