About 20 minutes ago I started Flashing Android Revolution HD on my device then the screen went black. Nothing's happened since then and now it won't start up or anything. What's going on?
I do believe that rom is for the international gs3.

Well is there anything I can do at this point, or have I totally bricked my device?

Yeah down volume, home, and lock button right?
I tried it and nothing. Same with recovery mode. Kies all can't detect my phone.
I guess I managed to ruin my phone :\

Yes, sir, please get into that mode for me but first make sure your phone is off and then i'll guide you through the rest.
BTW: Are you at a computer? This requires you to download a stock image for your device which is around ~600MB.

Can you think of anything else I can do or should I go into At&T and try and get a new phone under warranty?

Dude, this is very simple. I wouldn't recommended getting a new phone if it can be easily fixed.

Ok well I can't go into recovery mode or download mode on my phone. My computer recognizes a device is being plugged in, but can't tell its my phone. What should I do?

I have the tar file in PDA on ODIN, but I can't get my device into download mode because it won't respond. I tried hitting start on Odin anyway but nothing happened.
I was thinking I could tell my computer somehow the device is my phone but I'm not sure if that would help without it being in download mode.
Edit: I'm reading through the post and discovered people in a similar position to me, my charging light does turn on red with no battery in. I'll see if there's some magic fix on that thread somewhere.

Okay so we need to focus on getting your phone into DL mode. Pull the battery for one minute and hold the power button down for ten seconds; re-insert the battery and try to get into DL mode again.

No luck.
The only thing I can get it to do is turn the red light on when I plug it in with no battery
If you're sure you can't get into download mode then your best bet is to get a USB jig. They're fairly inexpensive, i'll link you one. This jig has good reviews and works for pretty much any Samsung device with DL mode:

Edit: I'll be buying one eventually to test it out. Just ordered one, it will be here Tuesday.

I'm reading all about how the S Series is almost impossible to really brick, so trying this USB Jig couldn't hurt I guess. I mean it's 4 bucks so I'll try it and update with how it goes
and Wond3r: Because I'm a dumbass
Subscribe to the thread. I will post my results when I get the jig. I read that it works in the thread I linked you to. Don't worry

lolll............
Dude sorry to say but you are done, this has happened to plenty of people on this forum. Your phone is dead (the jig WILL NOT help you, you will need a jtag/warrantee to fix it at this point. Your phone will probably say qusb_dload or something if you try to plug it into your pc, further confirming that fact.

I was trying out a kitkat kernel which was for our kitkat official but I stupidly used it on an aosp rom and then my phone would only boot into cwm recovery and then I factory reset and it now doesnt even turn on, it shows up on my laptop but im running windows 8 and i havent been able to use the unbrick methods. If anyone can help out it would be appreciated and if i need to send it to LG i know i have breached warranty so what should i say to them?
Thanks!
Can you get into download mode?
Make sure the phone is off. Hold volume up and down at the same time and plug you USB cable into your phone, your phone should go into download mode.
It wont turn on at all, its like all the partitions have been corrupted. I cant get into download mode and when i go into adb it say (fault device) so I think ill need to send it back to LG

That sounds about right.....that really sucks man ....if you cant get into download mode and I don't know of a jig built for this device butni have one for Samsung which throws it into download mode......for our device I know of none..........your beat bet is probably to send it to lg as it seems to be hardbricked

Yeah i agree, thanks
Hi what should i tell LG on the phone when i call them? should i tell them the truth or a lie? its completly bricked so they wouldnt have any traces of me rooting it would they?

Sometimes if you try to charge the phone for a really long time (say 12 to 18 hrs at stretch) - the phone starts to turn on. Try that. and see if you can boot into download mode.
Also, when you give it to LG ... tell them that it is not turning on, thats it...
ok, i tried charging it but nothing happened so ill send it to them and just say that it wont turn on. Thanks!
Once they get it booted up and see the custom kernel and Rom they are most likely going to charge you full price for another phone and of course will not honor any warrantee. As long as you're ok with that go ahead and sent it back for a replacement. with that bein said, it's probably best you tell them the truth so you get accurate info from them ahead of time.

Hi all
I got a notification of the latest software upgrade available for my device. I downloaded it and installed it. The installation process was shown to have reached 100% and then the phone screen went black and then did not turn back up. When I connect the phone to charger, I do not see any battery charging icon
I had my phone connected to the power outlet while I was upgrading? Is my phone bricked? Any way I can resolve this issue? My phone is out of warranty.
I have never ever rooted the phone. Not sure why would this happen with an official software upgrade.
Any help will be immensely appreciated
Are u able to enter recovery mode!

No response from phone it cann' be charged nor be turned on
I can't open the phone in any mode even download mode
When I plug my phone to the PC it's recognized as unknown device not as previous.
Thanks

After successful flash the phone will reboot automatically and will stay on bootloop, while rebooting press and hols home+vol.up+power button. Then factory reset, wipe dalvik, wipe cache. Then reboot system..
Why not PDA? When i flashed stock rom i choose PDA and choose the file.
Auto reboot and f.reset time are the only checked boxes

Hello all, I've made a bit of a balls up and appear to have deleted the bootloader on my G3 (D855) when I tried to install TWRP. Every time I start the phone or try to get in to the bootloader I end up on the TWRP screen. I have ADB access but I have no idea where to start to recover from this. I think I may installed twrp-2.8.0.0_d855-signed.img instead over the bootloader. Is that even possible?
Any help or advise will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Peter
I do the Same things first time i flash twrp.
Reflash à kdz with flashtool save me.

Actually, its not what I thought. I've managed to get in to the original bootloader. So the question is why is it taking me to TWRP screen all the time?

I've been trying the the last 2 days to sort this out but have come against a stone wall. I've tried on 3 PCs and I cannot get the phone connected via USB (other than with ADB or MTP). To clarify my situation (as my initial post is probably incorrect)....I have manged to "replaced" the Android OS with a TWRP. Every time I start the phone I end up on the TWRP screen. I can boot in to the stock recovery. I have the correct KDZ file and Flash Tool but can't connect to the phone to re-flash.
Please, any help will be greatly appreciated.
What does it say on the PC when you plug it in?
Is it picked up in Device Manager?
Can you get in download mode?
Yep, its picked up as "G3" but with no drivers. I've downloaded and installed the LG unified drivers without any luck. From other pots I think I should be seeing it as "LGE AndroidNet USB Serial Port"?
Download mode? Not sure what you mean.

Now I know what download mode is! And yes, I'm in download mode now. The drivers have loaded!! Going to try a reflash now.

So recently my phone decided to **** itself after installing paranoidandroid for the OP3. I rebooted it one day and it never came back on. I plugged it into my pc to see that QUALCOM 9008 device and ended up running the unbrick process to try to fix the phone. Eventually the phone came back to life, but when I turn off the phone it always goes back into that qualcom recovery mode or whatever and doesn't start. I have to hard power off every time after shutting down and reboot does not work at all.
Any ideas?
Try to find the newer unbrick guides. There is one for OOS 5.0. I couldn't get phone to boot without using one of them. I would find them again and link them to you but I'm on my phone not my PC ATM.
