Hello every one,
As you can assume I have bricked my phone, now before some of you rage I did look through A LOT of other threads but I have no idea what to make of this:
I flashed a i9100 ROM ( -_- yes I know... but I only noticed AFTER the brick lol ) and now obviously the phone is ****ed, what I would like to know is: will a jig help or not? because it doesn't turn on or goes into recovery mode or download mode.
I was so pissed, but I kept trying and trying until I connected it to the computer and heard the usb connection sound, so I'm asking if this is good, which I believe it is.
I ordered the jig already but I want some input on this... that usb sound has to be good ( or better than nothing lol ), I really appreciate any help.
Sorry the usb sound going on/off when you connect your phone and nothing happening means it is bricked with no chance of recovery. Not sure the jig will work. I have not heard of anyone who got their Tmobile sgs2 working with one.
I don't understand how people not realize they are not flashing a ROM for their specific phone model. It is not like all the roms are in the same forum.
Good luck trying to fix your brick.

well I downloaded a driver and the sound doesn't go on/off now and Odin actually recognizes the device... BUT when I try to flash it just stays on:
<ID:0/008> SetupConnection..

I'm going to wait for the jig and see what happens, unless some other member with personal experience comes in here.
I already said I didn't realize that I was in the wrong forum until after I flashed it, I would not have done it knowingly...
It sounds like you need to have your phone JTAGed. That is the only way to resurrect a dead phone, other than returning it to Samsung or your dealer. There is a place called MobileTech Videos that will do that for around $50. Do an internet search to find them.
I rather send it to t-mobile/Samsung first before resorting to that. I will still wait for the jig because "sounds like" isn't convincing me, I obviously know of MobileTech, but I rather send it to t-mobile first...

Sent it tonight, getting the new one tomorrow.
Samsung really screwed up by throwing the Galaxy S II name onto hardware that has no business carrying the name - crap like this is the result.
Yeah, I9100 firmwares need some massaging to run properly on the I777, but at least I9100 hardwares don't guarantee a hardbrick due to a different CPU architecture and completely different partition table.

I have heard a similar case in which someone bricked it trying to flash villain rom and was able to ressurect it with a jig. I believe it is located in the general section of this phone thread.

That should work, a friend of mine did brick his phone back in November and I let him borrow my JIG to unbriked his device, and he did it.

I'm a veteran ROM flasher however tonight I made my very first big oopsie and loaded a i9300 ROM onto my i747 device. Once the ROM completed loading on the phone I hit the reboot button then out the lights went. She's definitely dead. When I plug into the PC it's prompting to search for drivers to QHSUSB_DLOAD and Odin doesn't see the device either. No charging LED, just a black screen, can't get into recovery or download modes. I saw a post from someone else previously but it didn't go the direction I think I need. I've heard of a jig, but never needed to use one until now.
Unfortunately you have hard bricked your device. I9300 ROMs always cause a hard brick on an i747. USB jigs do not currently work on GS3s. You will need to use a JTAG service similar to http://mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com
Sorry about your luck. =(
Keep in mind you only need a JTAG if you are 100% bricked. If your phone shows ANY signs of life post back.
Try pulling the battery, wait 30s and power into download mode. If you get nothing (no vibrations, no lights, no power) see link above.

Ahhh fantastic *facepalm* I was just about to try making my own jig. When I connect to the PC without the battery I get a red LED. That's it.
**Edit: Wow, ummm...the JTAG thing is a tad pricey. Maybe I should try getting AT&T to do a warranty exchange. This sucks...the price I pay for not paying attention...
Yeah, definitely sounds like a hard brick. You can try to make the jig, but from all that I've read, not one person reported a working GS3 jig for a hard brick solution. Doesn't hurt to try... and post back if it works =p
Really sorry bout your luck, GS3 seems to be a very touchy phone to flash.

It's actually not a hard mistake to make. One thing I would like to suggest to the mods is resolving the redirects at the top of the page. If you are in the i-747 forum and click on the Accessories forum you are directed to a page within the I9300 forum. That makes sense because both use the same accessories. Problem is, when you click on the link at the top of the page to go back a level, you are actually going back into the I9300 forum where you could potentially pick up a ROM that will hard brick your device.
Good luck is resolving your issue. JTAG is pricey, but it works. Some people have had success going into the store and pleading ignorance. Maybe try that first?
I saw a post in another thread out there about someone successfully using their Captivate jig on their S3...I went to the AT&T Warranty center today and was told that since the ph# originally on this device was ported to another carrier, they won't honor the warranty. So I guess I can try the jig thing. If no dice then she'll go back to Samsung...oh the price we pay for tinkering LOL
**Edit: Just read in this thread HERE where someone mentioned their S2 worked on their S3 too. Hmmmm...
Eh, it happens man.

Samsung will still honor the warranty even though att will not. It will just take longer. I can confirm the gs2 jig does work in my gs3. However it no longer resets the flash counter.

Hi, I'm new to Android and new to this forum also so excuse me for any noob comment or question. Unfortunately I just did the exact same thing OP did...I research a bit and I could be wrong but doesn't the JIG USB only works with soft brick phone? So buying one of those alone wouldn't do me any good?
For the record I did search the forum (pretty quickly) and didn't find what I was looking for so I hope I'm not reposting the same issue.
So I was flashing the Slim Bean 4.2.2 rom to my galaxy s3 using goomanager and i think my phone is hard bricked.
In goomanager it allows you to select multiple zips to flash, and I'm pretty sure they flash in the order they are listed. Well i planned to flash the Slim-i9300-4.2.2.build.6-OFFICIAL (the rom itself), Slim_Gapps.4.2.2.build.6 (google apps for the rom), and Extras.4.2.2.build.6 (extras specific to the rom) for the Slim Bean rom from the slimroms site.
I had the Extras.4.2.2.build.6 zip listed first then accidentally pressed the flash button and without thought confirmed my actions in the pop up window (Yes i'm an idiot). So it rebooted and went through some script then my phone went black.
It wont go into download mode (home, power, vol down), it won't display anything on the screen, and it wont power on. My computer recognizes it and shows that it is connected. I don't know if that will do anything it terms of fixing it on my own? I haven't read up on bricked phones too much but i'm pretty sure its hard bricked.
Sooooooo, first off does anyone have any suggestions as to what i should do?
-If i were to take it to a Sprint store what would they say? I've had it for a year and I don't think i have any warranty (granted i know rooting my phone would technically void it anyways). If it doesn't power on or do anything could I say it turned off in the middle of the 4.1.2 OTA update and resulted in its current state?
-Would a usb JIG boot my phone into download mode and fix my problem?
-Is a jtag service my only option?
-If it is jtag does anyone know a place around the Louisville, KY area that does this sort of thing? I google searched but didn't find anything local.
-If not i guess mobiletechvideos is my best option?
Any help would be much appreciated. I'm in dire need of this phone to be fixed as I start my new job in a 2 weeks and need it for obvious communication reasons.

"Slim-i9300-4.2.2.build.6-OFFICIAL" that is the international model version of the ROM. Flashing International ROMs hard brick your phone. So yes, you do have a hard brick. As to taking it to sprint, Idk if they'll do anything for you especially if you have no insurance or warranty. Sorry bud
Well your problem is not that you flashed in the wrong order. Your problem is that you flashed a rom from the International S3 (i9300) not the sprint SPH-L710. You attempted to turn your Sprint phone into an International S3. This flashed completely different partitions onto your device. JTAG is the only way to fix it. They have to open the device and repartition everything. Mobiltech is the way to go. My advice in the future is if you don't find the rom in the Sprint Galaxy S3 forums do not flash it.

Just do more research next time before flashing. And as the person above said, don't flash anything that isn't on the sprint GS3 forums.

Unfortunately yes you are hard bricked and it sucks. JTAG will fix it Google it there are good services out there for about $60 and week or so turn around.
If you pay for insurance you could also take it to sprint and tell them it won't boot and they should replace it for a deductible. Some will call this fraud but the way I see it if you pay for insurance it is there to cover mistakes. You didn't mean to brick it just like some one who dropped it in a pool didn't mean to ruin their phone.

Thanks for the quick response everyone. I really appreciate it. I feel dumb. I usually do my research, but I was bord and a spur of the moment action got me in trouble this time.
I guess I'll run to the sprint store tomorrow and see what they can do, if anything.
If they can't do anything, mobiletech it is! It looks to be a reliable site. Will my phone be active on the sprint network still after the JTAG? or will I have to do anything to it? I also assume I will get all the text messages and what not that my phone is currently incapable of receiving now?
Any thing else I should know about the JTAG or my phones hard bricked state before I go ahead with it since we are on the subject and I don't want this to happen again.

I doubt you will get any texts, sprint is not saving to deliver them later. Unless your using Google Voice. Your phone will be up and running rom flashed but it won't activate until you log into it with your google ID, just like when you get in the box brand new.

First, I swear I've searched high and low for this answer. I've been to the xda threads with guides to disassembly and reassembly and followed the links to OEM part retailers and come up with zilch.
So, I have a bricked GT-N7105 with suspected sudden death syndrome. It acted screwy for a few days with random reboots etc and then, one day, I took it out of my pocket and it was dead. No boot, no charge, no lights, no nothing. I sent it to Samsung who (classic) are claiming liquid damage and want to charge me $588 Australian to fix it. I am unprepared to pay this. I know that the chip should be covered by extended warranty but this is voided by the supposed liquid damage. I will fight them on it but am not optimistic about the outcome.
So, assuming that I'm not giving my money to Samsung or the company that they outsource their repairs to, can anyone point me towards a link for a store selling replacement motherboards for the N7105?
Furthermore, I haven't managed to find specific information on the motherboard model number for the N7105: is it the same as the N7100 or any of the other Note II variants? Anything that can widen my search criteria will be helpful.
Thanks all. Love your work.:good:

If your phone has suffered SDS,then only emmc is damaged,not the whole motherboard.You can get it(emmc) replaced from a third party repair shop.
Gud luck.
1st of all, a motherboard is about 200-250$, and you can repair it at a normal smartphone repair shop, screw samsung.
request photos of the "liquid damage"
i'd take this to the court.
When i destroyed the partitions on my old galaxy player 5.0, they said it was corrosion from some sticky liquid lol, and they eventually gave me a replacement (probably because i figured out they were lying)
+1,Its the same old story they tell to everyone...here in india too .So if you are sure that its not damaged by liquid,just stick to your point and be stern in your approach while dealing with these so called 'technicians'...
Gud luck.

N7105 is totally different to the N7100 internally so the mainboard will not physically fit onto the chassis if you put the wrong one in ..as the chassis behind the screen which carries the mainboard is totally different ... so get the the correct one if you are going to change the mainboard

The definition of "Hard Brick" is a phone that cannot be booted into any mode (including download, recovery). Worse case is a phone that does not respond to the buttons at all (power, menu, home, back, and volume). I have searched through all XDA forums and keyworded the net for hours, convinced that there had to be a free or cheep way to unbrick my hard bricked I747. I found leaked instructions that outlined how to bridge a specific (very small) transistor (named R313) inside the phone in order to trigger "SD Card Mode." The SD card was prepared to reinstall boot img and stalk ROM prior to triggering SD Card Mode. However, after opening my phone I found that the phone used to illustrate and show where the R313 transistor was located was designed totally different than my model. There was no way to know where the R313 was. Evidently, the S3 design can differ depending on carrier or maybe time purchased.
So, if it is unlikely for most of us that we will be able to find and bridge the R313 transistor, then there are only two other solutions that I was able to find. TJig, which is about $60, or send phone to Samsung for warranty service (if still under warranty). My phone is still under warranty and I just sent my phone in to Samsung. The question remains, "will Samsung be able to see if a hard bricked phone is customized or has a flash count?" or do they even look. If phone hard bricked, one can boot the phone into download mode with the right equipment. Download mode reveals the flash count. If Samsung checks flash count, then I assume TJig may be my only option. Or maybe Samsung will offer to unbrick my "out of warranty" phone for less than the price of a TJig. Hard to say. I will post my results when I get them.
If you are out of warranty, you may try calling around to service providers. The S3 is still the most popular phone on the planet; there is a good chance that a serve provider somewhere has a TJig and would charge you $20 or so to fix your phone with it.
Please add to this post if you can contribute. Especially if you have gone the warranty route and can report what happened.
I hard bricked my S3 by flashing LK3 bootloader, and I sent my phone to following ebay JTAG service, he is really helpful.
http://www.ebay.com/usr/patrickwalls
If anyone there hard bricked his phone like me and do not feel comfortable with SD card method, I would recommend him.

OK, so I sent in my bricked S3 (out of warrantee due to multiple flashes) to Samsung's Warrantee Service Department in Texas. They replaced something and sent it to QC, who put there stamp of approval on it and sent it to shipping. It is now on it's way back to me via 2 day air UPS. So I guess know one noticed the flash count or modified status. It is being sent back to me a warrantee S3.
I can't wait to brake the warrantee again
Results may very, but if your phone is with-in the warrantee window it can't hirt to try warrantee repair. You may know that you broke the warrantee, but they might be to busy to notice. They do pay for shipping both ways. Service is fast. All I had to pay for was the packaging materials.
The EBAY service mentioned above also looks lioke a good deal, for those of you with no warrantee. Check it out.

LOL, I am up over 200 flashes on my note II, but my daughter's S3 bricked when Iflashed an international kernal to an AT&T specific ROM. I guess that is a no no. There are certain things that will brick your phone; as long as you don't do those things, you can flash 5 times a day if you want. The important thing is to read all threads and ask questions before you flash. However, even the experienced and careful flashercan make a mistake. It is important to know what to do if this happens to you.
