DONT WANT A BRICK? Check here

As of right now, the roms for your S3 are not meant to be used on other S3 variants. Bricks might happens or a soft one might happen. Before flashing a Rom make sure you are in the right development section an you read the entire op, twice. Until other devs or experienced users find a way to make them cross compatible, please refrain from using other carriers S3 roms.

That's slick!:good:

hard brick - a pretty paperweight (tonight)
should have been more careful, soft bricked the phone, 2 times trying to change the dpi.
once trying to flash a rom - the rom flash, took it to QHSUSB_DLOAD mode, not impressed but i'll take this downtime as a time to relax.

Another way to avoid a brick; Don't use a mod, theme, tool or ROM until it's confirmed by multiple people in the community that it's working properly. Read the last 3-4 pages of a thread

Simple...
Do like we all have done: read everything you can find and then ask an intelligent question. Otherwise, XDA denizens get grumpy... :cyclops:

Aint' that the truth, I'm one of them!

I agree with you, I ended up with a soft brick stuck at the samsung glowing logo after trying to unroot because I got a crack the front plastic near the headphone jack. I managed to reset the flash counter and install the rom but odin failed at the end. Now I'm hesitant to flash another ROM. Anyone else here waiting for JellyBean Rom? Definitely take your time and always make sure your computer installs the drivers before doing anything! I got BB to exchange it for me since they couldn't get it to boot and the mystery crack wasn't my fault. I only had it for like 3 days IN A CASE TOO. Happy Flashing dudes.

I'm just glad i saw a forum for the gs3. I would've bricked my phone after i got it.

Another bricker my own fault went to unroot to take in for service and went and loaded a wrong .tar file of the stock system. Anyway...not looking for sympathy..just wanted to say thanks for the forum that gave me the tools to fix my mistake :thumbup:

Original is usually built from scratch/source. Android development is based from stock, leaks or ports

[Q] Galaxy Note 2 - SGH-T889V

Hello forum,
I purchased a SGH-T889V Galaxy note 2 and tried to root it. The whole time i was under the impression it was the N7100. Obviously it was not and now i've screwed the phone where you get the yellow triangle thiingy. I need the original rom as i have looked high and low and there is nothing out yet. Its the Wind version of the phone launching here on |Oct 30th.
PLEASE HELP!!
I've tried everything but nothing seems to work..i.e. Samsung Kies, Odin..etc..
thanks!

Hi. Google checkfus. Download it and use it to pull official firmware from Samsung servers then use Odin to flash it to your phone.

There is nothing for this phone on checkfus webversion... yet. But yes OP, do download checkfus and check it often to see if anything pops up for you to use... Maybe there already is something available that I just couldn't see in the web version.

Thanks guys for the recommendations. I'll keep an eye out. Right now I have an $800 brick on my desk.

hmm I am not sure how to do that, if you can direct me to a tutorial I'd definitely do it.I am not sure if that can be done actually, since it's not rooted. Anyways, if I get time during the weekend I'll look it up and do it myself.
PS: I think we got it from the same seller lol

Sorry to hear that again. Were you able to access Bell's LTE and HSPA? Thanks, cause I'm on bell too!

Yea you did. This is the third post I have posted in. Foxhound is for i9300 devices. This ROM cannot be used on US/Canadian variants. The other two people I posted for also flashed and also hard bricked.
Your only bet is to contact your network provider and see if they will replace it or pay between 60-80 USD for a JTAG resurrection.

If you just got it, there's no harm in trying to get an exchange. Simply say you woke up and your device no longer boots. It has worked for me in the past, and, reportedly, one of the previous mentioned foxhound victims.
In the future make sure you stick with your devices codename and model number (d2att =ATT, d2tmo = Tmobile, d2spr = Sprint, d2vzw = Verizon). model is i747.
Galaxy S3 is a very touchy device and in my experience very easy to hard brick.
Good luck with your exchange!

60ish $ and jtag is your option, like I said look it up via google or the many threads on the subject here. Future reference look for roms via it's "ROM name" (D2TMO) or hardware name (T999) never fail to install proper rom.

The Miui Rayglobe v6 is not for your device, it's a 9300 rom and your phone is now officially BRICKED
You need to send it to a shop which has JTAG and get it working. It cost between $30 to $60 bucks,
your best bet is to go to eBay and do a search for JTAG the prices there are way less than other places.
Good luck!

Good for you, you have officially BRICKED your phone, that rom is for the 9300 phone not for our T999.
I think before you flash anything else you need to get yourself a pair of reading glasses so you can read
before you flash. LOL

Idk if it has been mentioned, but your phone is bricked. That ROM is for the international S3. You are going to need to use a JTAG service to get the phone fixed which will cost you any where from $30-$100 depending who you use and how fast you want it done.

[WIP][ROM][4.2.2][TW]Testers Needed!!! 4.2.2 Touchwiz ROM

THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS AND IT MAY BRICK YOUR DEVICE. HAVING A MICRO USB JIG IS RECOMMENDED JIC.
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT HAPPENS TO YOUR DEVICE DON'T SUE ME. IF YOU FLASH THIS YOU ASSUME ALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR WHAT YOU DO TO YOUR DEVICE
So now that that's over....
I've been working on porting that leaked 4.2.2 touchwiz firmware into a flashable zip and i need testers.
Here's the link: removed link
I haven't even gotten around to testing it yet which is why i need you guys. Let me know if it's even booting and that would be great!
I'll have my phone with me tomorrow so i can test then and see what's up. Thanks guys!

ummm...
