I'm new to the S3 and I have rooted a few devices previously. I just got my S3 yesterday. I rooted it with no issue. Installed a custom recovery with no issue and even installed a custom ROM (wicked v10) with no issue other than ,once the ROM booted up I had no data. I did some searching and found a firmware/modem zip that I thought might fix my issue. It said that it will only install on a T999 T-Mobile version of the S3. Good, so I install it. Well I have a T-Mobile S3 but mine is a T999L. Now my phone does nothing. Will not start will not boot into safe mode. Doesn't even have a LED when on the charger. Somebody please please help.. Thanks in advance

Pretty sure you just hard bricked it. Sorry man, I know that sucks. But if you can't get any response from the device.....

So do you think I can return it to where I got it and tell them it just stopped responding and get another one without any issues?. I just bought it yesterday at my local wal mart..

depends if they take returns
they can't know what's wrong since it won't run at all
so give it a try act like you don't know anything about phones and say i was just charging it
Update: I was able to return the bricked phone and get another phone. Lady tried to say I might have "over charged" the phone. I just shook my head and said wow! I never heard of that before.. Good to be back

I think I have bricked my phone. Im pretty tech savvy I have had around 5 phones and have rooted all phones. I flashed a rom I had not seen before in rom manager. It is called minium 1.0.7. It flashed fine and I hit reboot and my phone did nothing. So I did a battery pull for about 3mins and put it back in and it wont boot at all. Is there anyway I can get it to come alive again. Thanks

Its pretty much not safe to flash stuff from rom manager anymore. Tons of stuff that isn't for our phone shows up in there now, huge problem. But more than likely you are bricked. Only hope you have is holding volume up+down at the same time, and plugging in the usb cord until the "warning" comes up. If that does not work, you have no hope. If download mode actually does come up, i will point you in the right direction to fixing your phone.

Try putting it in download mode by using an official LG usb cord and plugging it into a wall socket. I know the LG cords have the constant power wire switched so you might be able to do that. I have seen it done before.
Talked to my awesome tmobile friend and she has a new one coming Wed and only cost $5 to replace. Thanks guys for all your advice.

Samsung website, register the phone and information is on there. Took about 10 days or less for it to get back.

Just got my replacement in and I have noticed it doesn't have a lockscreen. I have rebooted and and turned the screen on and off. The screen turns on and without having to go thru a lockscreen.
The other thing I noticed is if my hold down my power button my phone turns off. It doesn't prompt me to put it airplane mode or anything. It doesn't even ask me if I want to shut down it just does. Can't get a custom rom on thus fast enough.

No because as far as they know, it was a hardware failure.

If you're going to flash just to brick it, why not just flash a stock rom? ... Oh well. Lol, brick away, install a tablet rom.

tmobile dont care if its rooted or not anymore.
my brother sent back his gs2 rooted for replacement without any issues and I just recently sent mine back aswell about a month ago. I got the text letting me know they got the phone ok and everything is good. I think they kind of figured if they continue to be hard on the root community we will just send a brick back to them and declare it a hardware issue..
After pluggung in my 2 day old note, which is rooted and running stock, I cant get the device to charge and thar message keeps popping up...any help?

Elnovato when you got your phone back was it the same one or a different one that was a refurbished?
I'm curious because I need to send mine in for the battery as it's mildly warped and causes the phone to reboot when jostled, but it's lame as Samsung wants me to send the whole phone in rather then just the battery. I don't want to if they give a refurbished one back.

It was the same phone, though I had to set eveything back up as the devised was flashed with the new software.

Thank you.
Can't wait to get mine back from Samsung repair center to hopefully see the same update if not a newer one!.
If it comes loaded with a December 4.1.2 firmware I will be doing a system dump on it for sure!. ^_^
Oh btw how long was it until you got it back in the mail? The tech guy on the phone said I will be it back in 2 weeks tops, I hope sooner though I miss my Note II so bad!. However I'm using an S2 as a back up lol.

The charger port is destroyed? That sucks = (
As far as I know you need ODIN, which needs the charger port, in order to root. I may be wrong, but that's my understanding. Best of luck getting it rooted though!
Ya I ended up buying a battery charger for it and selling it as is then bought another flashed as high as I could go and got bored now back on the t959v Lol
