Could be a bad DL, what recovery are u using, sometimes cmw runs into errors flashing newer Roms, try the newest twrp, but don't use goo to get it, there have been issues with goo manager lately, Odin is the way to go, if all that fails idk, maybe bad link?

The only way to brick your phone, truly brick it would be to flash a non t989 rom or kernel, anything else (such as bootloops, stuck at splash screen, ect.) Those are just soft bricks which can be fixed easily, short answer no u can not brick your phone by a bad flash, hence the reason every op tells u to make a backup, TWRP will only flash a valid file, ive gotten multiple failed flash attempts and no never ran into a brick, so dont worry try a new DL and if that doesnt work pm me an ill give u the working version of slim, I have a updated one

Easiest thing would be to put a ROM on an SD card and flash it in recovery.
Other option is to Odin back to stock in download.
Edit.....
For future reference here is task's full wipe video to avoid wiping something by accident.

Also please remember to flash and wipe exactly as instructed in the ROM thread

With your ROM being wiped your computer won't recognize your phone unless you are in download mode using Odin to go back to stock.
If you don't have a SD card adapter to put in your computer to put a rom on you'll have to Odin back to stock.

I don't know what carrier you are on but use this guide to download the proper stock (unrooted, you'll need to re-root) ROM for your specific carrier.
All the tools and instructions you need are on this site. Unsure how to use Odin? Try a youtube search for your carrier and model.

Flashing stock is pretty much your only option. From there, you can flash a custom recovery and then CM10.

Are you trying to brick it? Usually the only way the phone will brick is if you flash a wrong rom on it like a rom meant for another phone or a kernel not meant for the phone.
A ROM can't brick you. It's the kernel that bricks you. If you want to try, flash a ROM from another phone and then flash a kernel for the Hercules and see what happens (bootloop on Samsung logo).

I hard bricked after flashing AOKP build 3 through CWM 6.0.2.7 a couple weeks ago. I hadn't had any problems with that recovery or my flashing procedure before (nandroid backup, wipe cache, format /system & /data, wipe /dalvik, flash ROM, flash gapps), but I must've goofed somewhere.

I don't think he's trying to find out how to brick, but more like trying to find out how to avoid bricking. I know I was nervous and took a week to psych myself up just to root my device after getting it since I had no idea how exactly one would brick a device. I just knew it was a possibility and didn't want that, lol.
if you do a odin flash and the phone gets disconnected before its finished flashing the important files like the sbl, zimage, or modem thats a definite way to hard brick! (happened to me when i had a vibrant)

Okay recently i've been trying to un-root my phone completely by installing the stock rom from odin and when i tried to do that my phone would just not work so while it was soft bricked/Continous Samsung Flashing i decided i would download Cwm again and just try and re-flash another rom just to get the phone to open up and i did just that than when i did my phone is now wacky and seems sluggish and my phone is also begging to crash can anyone help me ?
Btw i attempted to un-root my phone because i wanted to play puzzles and dragons Jpn Version which requires no root any help would be amazing thanks
Bump!
Okay
I find it impossible to believe 75 people have read thsi and not one had responded
How long did you wait for the stock to load? It takes longer then a custom Rom. Which stock Rom did you flash? Was your downloaded file corrupted? Try re-downloading the file making sure it is the proper t mobile, koodo or telus Rom. Hope this helps.

I don't find that impossible to believe...you're not very specific in the op. If your ROM is lagging you need to specify which ROM you're using...what did you wipe when flashing...what recovery version are you using...

Hi all! I'm new here so please refrain from flaming me...
I'm no noob to flashing the rom on my phone as I have successfully carried out the procedure multiple times. However, on this occasion things didn't go as planned. I began the procedure to update my S3 via odin to the new firmware that was released yesterday, however when the process got to 'system.img' the status bar just hung in the same place (just past the beginning of the bar) for a good 20 minutes... I panicked and unplugged my phone... BAD MOVE. I now get the error message "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." and the only thing I can do is put my phone in odin mode, which I did, and tried to install the stock jelly bean rom, the exact same thing happened as before...
What should I do?
Thanks in advance

I don't believe we have that for our model.
If you can still get download mode there's hope, maybe not a lot in this case, but there is some.
Try to flash cwm or twrp via odin. If successful boot recovery and try to flash a stock rom. Hopefully it only screwed up the system partition. ...
Never unplug till odin says either PASS, FAIL, or RESET. You may end up really lucky this time. If its taking a long time, just leave the room.

Wow! Ok, I am glad you got it working again, but you took a huge risk flashing that. Luckily its just the kernel aparently, but you should never flash anything from the international forum. More hard bricks have occured from flashing international stuff than anything else.
Just pointing this out so you or others reading this don't take it as meaning they can flash international roms and mods.
Glad it did work out for you though!

Before you do, check under the battery so you are certain of the phone model. There are 3 variants if the T999, and they cannot flash each others firmware.
Also, I don't believe you mentioned which firmware you tried, or I missed it, but which was it?
And i said it before, but do not unplug during flash. It may seem to take forever if it hangs, but it will eventually Fail out if it does.

Ahhhh, well, I know now why it didn't brick your phone when you flsshed thst kernel! You do hsve the correct phone for that. So you will need to reverse what I told you and do not flsdh anything from this forum! Sorry for the confusion, I assumed you had a T999.
It sounds like you have the right firmware, but I know very little about the international models. They are very different than ours. You should definitely go to the International forum from here on. Very little info you get here will be relevant and you cannot use any of our roms or otherwise.

Do you have the latest SuperSU version?
I'm a little lost at what you are saying.
You flashed a rom, and it said fail, and you think it has to do with Root?
If you have TWRP installed it doesn't matter if you are rooted or not. It's going to over right the system partition regardless if you have root or not.
So it's either a bad download or bad transfer for it to fail.

I do have the latest SU version by chain fire. And maybe I'm doing something wrong the because I am running the virgin gpe ROM now and that flashed in twrp with no issues. Now when I go to install (after wiping) and select the 9.12 update that I downloaded it hangs on trying to open the zip and fails... I haven't changed any twrp settings but in the write options of twrp what boxes should be checked because system is not by default... Thanks for the replies!

You can give CWM a try, I've been using it for a while without any issues. Out of curiosity what version if TWRP you are using? I think most people recommend TWRP 2.5.0.2. I'm using the latest version of CWM.

If all else fails, just start from scratch, get stock UVUAMDL tar, flash it with Odin, make sure to do a factory wipe after you flash it, sometimes bootloops occur if you don't. You don't even have to go past the first screen where you pick the language. Just shut it down from there and boot into download mode and root with Chainfire with Odin, then shut down and boot up again into download mode again and flash custom recovery tar of ur choice with Odin. Then download whatever custom rom zip and install it via custom recovery.

heyyy saw your reply in my thread.
just as @byron1985 suggested there, it sounds like you got a bad download. the flashing scripts are essentially exactly the same from previous version. the flashing process has absolutely zero to do with SuperSU.
edit: re-read. so you've verified the download. if you had success with CWM previously, i would go back to that. i do not use TWRP.
