Hi all at T999 xda dev community, I flashed a wrong ROM as for mistake was in the T999 ROM folder.
It started with AROMA and then after wipe cache / dalvik my T-Mo T999 does not boot at all, not CWM not PC not nothing.
I even try ODIN 3.04 but nothing appears-
Any hint ?
Thanks in advance.

What were you trying to flash?
Are you going into download mode before attempting Odin? (Vol down, home, and power)?

What were you flashing? Sounds to be a hard brick, if you can't get into download or recovery mode then you're hard bricked.

Yes, it was flashing a S3 I9300 ROM on my T999, specifically the one at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1944035
then I tried all CMW options but nothing happend, no any recovery menu appears.
I think the only available option is a physical hardware JTAG reflash. I found some videos and info here,

Yup, you're hard bricked. Sorry. The mist common place we see folks use here is mobiletechvideos.com.
A month or so ago someone mentioned using a different place that was cheaper and was just as good. Can't remember more than that though. Hoping someone else does.

Reinstall cwm using ROM manager

i read somewhere this is a glitch in the app and that it was being looked into.. wish i could remember what thread i read that in.. I read it maye 4 days ago in one of the noobie stickies i think.... so my suggestion would just be to manually flash from cwm recovery

Re-installing cwm from ROM manager didn't work, it still wants to know what phone I have and it isn't listed. I have uninstalled cwm, reset my phone to factory settings and re-rooted a few time now with the same results. It's mildly frustrating......
I never had this problem with my S and S2.
Any more suggestions welcome.
Try team win recovery project(twrp). I never heard of anyone having an issue like yours.

You should be able to go into recovery, if you can just go into recovery reflash the rom and let it boot. If not go into download mode and using Odin flash a stock md4 you can find a 1 click zip in Freezas stock rom thread.

I bricked my S3 a couple of weeks ago too. No boot. No recovery or download mode or anything. Completely dead. I ended up using these folks for JTAG repair. Came back in like 3 days good as new. Service isn't cheap but its cheaper than buying a new phone.

Not sure. Check their website or email them. They are based out of Texas so for me it was a quick turnaround. They brought my S3 back to life.

You flashed an international rom and are most likely hard bricked. Try booting download mode. If you can there's hope, if not you'll have to send it somewhere for a jtag repair.

Hi. Before flashing PA I was on 1317m Rogers but after it switched to n7105. There's no problem with that right? Btw everything is working perfectly.

You can easily change it by editing build.prop using root explorer. Open root explorer, system press n hold build.prop use text editor then change model to l317M.

But what I'm trying to ask is instead of going to at&t and try to find a Rom that will work for my phone I can go to the GTn7100 and GT n1707 section and flash a Rom without any problems right?

Sorry my bad, I would stay away from N7100 and N7105 section. There so many N7100 and N7105 ported rom for our device in att section so just use the ones from here. If read the changelogs of some roms here you will see MF2 roms are originally from N7xx roms.
Edit..
Flashing rom made for N7xx device can mess up your modem, imei etc. I
Thank you much much for this info. I did try to flash a n1700 Rom once and like you said I didn't get any connectivity on my Rogers carrier even when I found a modem to flash, and ended up having to go back to stock plus factory resets which is such a pain

You could have ended up with a brick.....
Or corrupted imei.

Even when it's bricked is it still possible to actually get into recovery wipe all caches and do a factory reset then get back to stock Rom right?

Brick like dead screen, not responding to anything or wont show n your computer when connected to usb or simply expensive paper weight. Only way to revive it flash via jtag etc. There is also soft brick where its only black screen but you can still flash roms via Odin and flashing wrong rom can cause soft brick too.

What he said above...
There is also a corrupt efs partition. If you didn't have it backed up you have no imei, and so you have a phone that can turn on but can't connect to any network, this can be permanent and has happened to people from flashing n7100 roms

yeah hard bricked or corrupted efs both suck :/
I have never bricked a phone and been using android since early 2009.
I'm crazy cautious
Back up of EFS is a must too, it is a good habit that you always have nand, modem csc patch and efs back up saved to you external card or computer.
Once your a little more familiar with your phone this is a good thread to check out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2018411. For the most part the i317 and 7105 are identical except for modem and gps files DO NOT FLASH A 7100 ROM Unless it has been modded following the posted thread. Personally i have been using Jedi x17 it has everything i want extended boot menu,Lidroid 23 toggles,speed tweaks etc... Now i have made my own modifications as well (status bar,speedometer and ringtones) I also have been working on modding MA3 rom as well in my spare time but really Jedi works just fine. Just my two cents. Good Luck and have fun,Dave
Okay so i bought a samsung Galaxy note 2 on craigslist(not a good idea) and what the seller told me is that it was unlocked. well i got the phone and put my Tmobile sim card and it worked. i tried to do a system update which i kept getting a reminder for and my phone is now stuck on the opening samsung galaxy note 2 sign. well i took it to the cell phone repair places we have around here and none of them could fix it. apparently the guy rooted the phone to unlock it but the phone doesnt have a custom recovery. it can boot to download mode but thats about it. if anyone knows how to fix this i would greatly appreciate your help.
Not bricked. ..
Boot to recovery using the 3 button combination and factory reset the phone. ..then reboot. .
If the device sticks on the splash screen again. ..you'll need to push a new image via Odin. .
But the phone is far from bricked. ..it's just mad...g

Is the phone stolen? Might have been SIM locked.
I would try flashing a stock ROM onto it via Odin. If that fails you probably bought a HOT phone. Or it has hardware damage.
Sent from my SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
It was unlocked when I got it... it had a custom rom on it and when I tried to do the update it made the phone do what's it doing now.. so what option am I left with? I already tried stock rom and nothing :/
Sent from my LG-P659 using xda app-developers app
So you have flashed a custom recovery? I can see that you said it did not have a custom recovery on it (but had a custom ROM?). If you haven't flashed the recovery and have not followed the flash to stock instructions (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2275844), then do so (be as specific as possible on the steps you've taken since it seems you might be a beginner at this by trying to update OTA a rooted device).
happened to me too. pull the battery. hold vol up and power and home and then insert battery. Keep holding till the 2nd time it reboots and you see the logo then let go of the buttons. This should put you into recovery. Wipe cache and wipe phone then reboot.
This worked for me, hope it works for you.
Trying to get into recovery mode doesn't work... I am a begginer at this. I tried pulling the battery out and doing the up home and power combo but that does not work.
