This should really go over in the S3 forums, correct location and the people over there are more likely to be able to help you. I reported the topic to a moderator and hopefully they'll get you taken care of.
what rom did you flash, because if you flashed a rom for another phone, your fear is confirmed. i have done the same thing with my last phone.
i have heard of some phones using odin, and other tricks on youtube, but usually after wiping a phone ,like you did, there is little you can do to fix it.

Alright.
1. Stop posting new threads about this! You are not the only one who has ever had a problem like this.
2. Post the link to where you got the original ROM.
3. Give us a DETAILED overview of what you did. The more you leave out, the less anyone can help.
4. Relax, these things can typically be fixed.

i assume your not rooted? ok first thing you need to do is look in the android development section, READ the sticky on how to root, make sure you understand everything before trying, once rooted you can flash a custom recovery and custom rom, but take one step at a time, and make sure you understand each step before doing anything, or you are gunna end up with an expensive brick.
I was able to figure out the whole root thing its just the roms and radios and all that other crap

Hello everyone, I just got a problem last night. I tried to permroot my G2 using Visionary+ and once it rebooted it got stuck on the HTC loadup screen. I have done a factory reset and have gone into recovery mode but when I do go into recovery mode, I get a droid phone with an exclamation mark in the middle and it just stays there.
I don't know many details about the phone other than what I can tell you from the HBOOT menu, I'd rather avoid sending it back in for a warranty repair unless I can just get to the normal screen where I can unroot it, I don't care who you are I just need help on what to do because I have no idea :\
Thanks guys, you're my last hope >:|
First off, this is why you DO NOT use visionary. Well documented to brick phones:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1025135
You can start off trying to recover your brick by looking at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=842495
You might as well have written that in chinese, I have no idea what any of this means. it's S-ON and it won't go into recovery mode.
Walk me through what I need to do..? :\
So I had a thought, if I could use a friends Android which, Idk the model to, but could I just uninstall Visionary from there? Would that do anything at all?

You cant really uninstall visionary if you cant even boot up your phone. Right now the rom is corrupted and you need to follow an unbricking guide like the one mentioned above

What are you talking about? Connecting your phone to your friend's phone? It doesn't work that way.
Alright everyone, I called T-Mobile and I'm having a new phone by tomorrow, there's nothing I can do as, I have no idea how to fix my corrupted ROM,
I tried following the unbricking guide but I can't so much as get my phone detected by my computer to even do anything with it.
And another noob bites the dust

You really need to research before you try to root your phone. Like a lot of research.
and when you brick it, you need to research to try and un-brick it. This stuff is easy, but its tedious, and if you're not ready to deal with hours of trying to fix your phone, you shouldn't been rushing into rooting.
All of the info is in that thread. Dozens of people have followed it and recovered their semi-brick.

Agree with everything you said. One click roots can be dangerous and tempting, as they lure people to an easy method, without having to learn the basics . . . and that's how the trouble starts. Especially when the one click root method is known to result in possible semi bricks.
If anybody wonders why HTC tried going to locked bootloaders, or constantly trying to increase the security against rooting, situations like this is why. People not wanting to make an effort to root by proper methods, or fix their mistakes, and claiming a "warranty issue".
Can anyone provide a fully nooby-proofed tutorial for the entire flashing process for this awesome tablet?
I got mine some days ago, i found some infos about the rooting in google, but about the flashing I found almost nothing, except the required files for download.
I know now that there are a few ways to flash a rom, with odin, to put the device into recovery mode and with ??twrp??
Please guys could you make that ? I am sure there are also other people with the same questions here.
Thanks a lot in advance

dsil i suggest you do research for yourself you might need this one day an you will be screwed
Its just sad I've lost faith in this forum after today
God Forbid If I or Someone was Hard Bricked LMAO good luck with that. It would be like finding the cure for cancer
