As long as you aren't flashing the bootloader you should be able to restart. I suggest you flash only the rom and kernel individually to minimize potential problems with the phone shutting off.

[Q] epic wont turn on?

so i just got this new epic in the mail after paying 100 dollars for it....was already on el30.....so i tried adding the md5 file in order to root it but it got stuck and got semi bricked so i tried to odin it back to stock and did repartition auto reboots and reset time and after like 3 intents of it getting stuck on boot.bin now it wont turn on.....HELP!!! I just got it today and im really scared about breaking it again!

Keep trying to get into download mode by popping the battery in and out. Get a better cable and redownload the files.

Common noob mistake, worth a shot advising in case you're having a brainfart, make sure you're odin'ing under PDA or it won't ever finish.

Like kenny said get a better cable and redownload the files... oh and repartition shouldn't have been checked since you were already on BML and is used to go back to that. :/
Auto reboot is the ONLY thing that should be checked. Redownload the files and try it with a better cable if you don't have one stop now or get ready to bury the phone.

Because the front is a hub usb port and the usb's in the back are direct on the mobo. Certain computers are picky some like the front over the back ones.

i have tried everything and the phone is still not being recognized....i have uninstalled and installed again.....i have used 4 diffrent computers 2 of them will not recognize the device and the other two get stuck on boot.bin....i really need some assistance....

ok so i think the issue is that usb debugging is not enabled?.....the only problem is that the first two computers i use read the phone and so does odin....these two keep saying unrecognized device....i would toggle it on but like i said before the screen will not turn on....just gives me a dim black screen....

[Q] Phone will only charge in recovery

Okay, I really searched for a solution before posting, so if I missed something, I apologize.
So I have a sprint gnex that just decided to stop charging today. So I obviously need to put it all back to stock! That'd be all well and good but as I just mentioned it won't recognize it's plugged into anything!
I've tried different cables, different batteries, none of it worked! Except for putting it into recovery. Twrp to be precise.
So how can I re lock a phone that isn't recognized!
I'm on a Mac and was using a stock rom
***update***
the plot thickens! So I have rolled it back to my most original backup thinking that would have fixed it.
I was right AND wrong!
It now charges off of my Mac, but it doesn't realize it is plugged into a computer at all (yes I have appropriate drivers). But I am talking about on the phone end too.
Really scrambling here

You can't. It's been gone over a couple times but the only way to re lock the device is to plug it into a pc.

No, the issue isn't me not having a program.
I can just use ADB over terminal.
The issue is my phone doesn't think it's plugged into a computer.

~sigh~
I guess my concern isn't well written.
The Phone doesn't know it's connected to a computer and vice-versa on ANY machine PERIOD.
All it does is charge now. So unless I can access ADB over WIFI (on CM9 I can I suppose), I feel screwed.

Nope.
But I managed to lock the bootloader, put a stock image on it, and kinda made twrp disappear. All without a computer or USB
So I solved the turn it in for warranty issue.

[Q] Bricked T-mobile S3 can anything be done.

Ok so long story short my S3 is hard bricked. This was my first try at doing my own root and rom install. Im not sure where I messed up at.
1. I got a toolkit from http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1746682
2. Backed up all system files with the toolkit, and saved pics to my computer.
3. downloaded oden and clockworks restore (cant remember the name)
4. did factory reset
5. cleared cache
6. then installed the S3 rom I got from http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1663656
I followed all the instructions as best I could and it still messed up. is there anything I can do to reset it back to default??
Nothing comes on. no lights, no screen, no sound. only thing I get is if I take out the battery and plug it up i get a led light for about 12 secs.

I know on my old Samsung Vibrant (Galaxy S) it was practically impossible to brick the phone completely. You could always access download mode to restore the ROM using ODIN.
How to enter download mode on Samsung Galaxy S3
Volume down ,home, and power until the warning.
http://youtu.be/0BJlfbZNB-I
Please note I have no experience flashing ROMs on the S3 as of yet. I plan to flash the new OTA update with root already injected tomorrow.
The first time I flashed a ROM using ODIN, it screwed up somehow and of course the phone didn't work. I was freaking at that point. Then I read about download mode and was able to flash the ROM successfully.

Your best option is jtag. I flashed an incorrect rom and had to replace the main board on my SGS3 as the jtag didn't work for me.
If you're in the USA this is the person to go to, they are linked everywhere on xda

I just want to say one thing: If you can somehow enter the download mode (USB jig...), it's NOT a hard brick. It's soft brick.

If you click the ROM link that you yourself posted in the OP it's clearly to the international GS3 forum.

I cant get into any kind of menu I have used every button combo I can think of. I also tried to offer it money, drugs and sex....I got nothing...
In the rom thread I used where does it say that the phone was the international version? I called myself reading the thread before I tried anything.

It's from the international section, anything from the international section will brick our phones, they are completely different, they have 4 cores and 1gb ram, we have 2 cores and 2gb ram. The only roms that are safe to flash are the ones in the T-Mobile galaxy s3 section
You can give it all the drugs and sex you want but the only thing that will help it is a jtag

ok thankx alot. So from checking the net my options are to pay 60$ for a jtag, play dumb for t mobile and get it replaced since they wont be able to turn it on. or buy a new phone. Is there any cons to the t mobile rote? I mean what are the chances of it biting my in the rear?

Personally I would get it jtaged. Rather than have Tmobile take care of your mess up and passing the cost on to the rest of their consumers.

PC doesn't recognize my phone

Need some help guys. I've tried everything from re-installing drivers, different pc. Just 2 days ago my phone connected just fine to my pc. Won't even recognize the phone in download mode. Any ideas?

Is kies installed?

Hi. I don't mean to highjack the op. I'm having a similar issue with my wife's SG3 from att. Its not rooted and I have reinstalled kies several times and also drivers as well. I have seen a couple reports online that mtp is not supported on this device. However I do not see that in any threads here about such a thing. If I plug the USB in the back it will sometimes recognize the device however it fails on drivers. Kies WiFi works fine. I'd like to get the 4.1 update on there for her though. Sorry for the intrusion. Thanks in advance for any help.

Mine has done that a few times for me. Not sure what it is when you hold the power button for 10+ seconds (reset/reboot/etc), but found if I do that the phone reboots and the phone connects again to computer. regular old reset and or battery pull didn't work for me, only the long press power reboot.

Uninstall Kies
Uninstall Drivers
Reboot
Hook up the phone and let Windows Update get whatever drivers it can. It won't get them all
Unhook phone
Install the I747 drivers
Do NOT install Kies
Hook da fone back up

I've tried several... 3 cables here in front of me and no dice. I guess I should point out besides the 4.1 update. Transferring movies and music would be a bit quicker via mtp. It sounds like this driver issue is abnormal. Perhaps I'll just see if we can get it exchanged. If you guys have any other idea? Would be great to hear them. I may just sneak it and root while she is asleep put a clean ROM on it.
Oh and thanks you guy, for your input.

I was having a similar issue and uninstalling and then reinstalling all the drivers, software, etc. didn't work for me. But this did;
http://blog.vacs.fr/index.php?post/...ot-detected-problem-on-Android-Samsung-phones
Resolution
1. Unplug the USB cable
2. On the cell phone, dial the following number: *#7284#
Once the last # is hit, the PhoneUtil application is launched. Choose USB -> Modem and then USB -> PDA mode.
The good mode should be PDA. Even if the mode is PDA, switch to Modem and then back to PDA.
3. Plug the USB cable.
