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:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0053H73JQ/ref=mp_s_a_1?pi=SL75&qid=1347248180&sr=8-1
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.

Please listen to this guy, only comment here containing any actual sense. QHSUSB_DLOAD=kiss of death
Today I rooted my T-999, which had been running 4.3. Used saferoot to do so, then installed SuperSU, then flashed CWMR. All reported success, and there were no immediate indications of a problem.
After a couple hours, I manually commanded the phone to reboot. It shut down, but never rebooted. I let it go a few minutes, and then tried to boot it with the power button. No luck.
I've since played around with removing the battery, plugging it in without the battery, and a couple other combinations. In all cases, the phone won't boot. No light, no recovery/bootloader, nothing at all.
Any new ideas about how to restart, what order to remove the battery, plug in, etc. that might help? THANK YOU.
After some searching, I have not been able to find a situation quite like mine. I'm sure I've just missed it -- if the new post annoys you, sorry. I need help.
Can you get into Downloading mode ? Put the battery in and then hold Vol Down+Home+Power.

Thanks for the reply - Haven't been able to get it to boot in DL or recovery mode unfortunately.
Does your computer recognize or say any kind of message when you plug it in? Sounds like it's hard bricked

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!

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

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.

You know that, if you send a phone to a some shop, so there he will do nothing because usually they are Not Knowledged about phones. So he will send your phone to LG to change motherboard or something and you will pay around 50Euro
Hi, I tried to flash 20b through twrp tonight.
I did factory reset, then flashed the bootstack, then flashed the system. But after that, my phone won't power on. I tried to remove the battery, holding power button for a long time, or power+volumn down.
The phone just does not respond at all. Can anybody help? Thanks!

take the battery out and put it back in and try to power it on. Repeat a few times, if that doesn't help we'll try other things.

when I had that problem I figured out that it was the battery that was making the phone act weird. Since LG sent me another battery when they had the promotion I used the other spare and that fixed it for me.
This happens right after I flashed the new system, I doubt it is the batter problem. If I plugged into the computer it still won't power on.
(If I remove the battery and plug into computer, the screen of the phone does show some symbol, probably regarding missing memory).
Let me try to see if I use kdz flash to reinstall the system. Thanks for the help.

This is why You don't flash the boot chain unless you absolutely must. I was running 20B with the old boot chain (other than rpm, that was updated) and it ran just fine. If you get a bad flash on the boot chain your sol.
