[Q] Broken Screen and Locked. - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

Ok so recently I managed to completely destroy the screen to my GS3 recently. Now this wouldn't be a problem except for the fact that my phone is now locked and I can't get ANY of my data off of it. I looked into using the Find My Mobile service Samsung offers, but it's not available in the US.
Is there anyway I can unlock my phone so I can recover my stuff??

how bad is the screen, can yu see some screen left that can help yu see when yu boot up, if your screen is completely destroyed try restoring your phone using Odin yu just need to connect your phone try to put it into download mode until yu see a yellow sign at the top of the boxes in odin and that means its accepted, it successfully went into download mode relief that the phone is working so just pull up some firmware file yu downloaded from sammobile.com or whateva site
if yu dont know how to restore using odin GOOGLE is there for yu
all your data is erased but if its still there try finding a tool/hack from XDA that can do that for you or software that can erase your data (YOUR PHONE HAS TO BE CONNECTED TO THE COMPUTER AT ALL TIMES TO WORK IF THE SCREEN IS COMPLETELY DAMAGED)
GOODLUCK
if all dont work am sure there is someone that can help you here in XDA or Android authority, central, police all this sites can help you..........'

the customer is telling the truth. same thing happened to me. i've had 3 galaxy phones, & this is the first time it happened. i downloaded an app from Playstore. used it for a couple of hours. then exit the program. then after a few hours while playing a different game, my screen went black (which at first I though was due to low battery) then it turned on but only until the NoteII logo. Tried to charge my phone but the battery icon only had this white circle at the center, there wasn't a green bar that's supposed to be showing up when you're charging. I couldn't access the recovery mode. i could access the download mode though. I tried to install CMW & stock rom, but both failed. Odin said my phone has got no PIT file.... please help!
BTW. Let me just tell you more about the apps involved. I downloaded Zynga Poker from Playstore at around 1PM. Played it until maybe around 3PM. Exit the program though it's still sending me annoying notifications. Then at around 9PM, I played RuneMasterPuzzle, which I've been playing since I've got my phone. Actually I've had that in my S2 before & never had a problem. So I'm blaming Zynga Poker.
I really, really need your help. Please...
TIA

I tried many solutions like, flashing its ROM, fix partition, followed Dr. Ketan's advices. Still no good. I can access Odin Mode but I can't access my recovery.
Here's my situation:

What the hell. So I'm not the only one with this problem. Same goes for me. I checked mails on my note 2 when it suddenly went black and rebooted. Then it was stuck at the first bootscreen. I can also go into Download mode but not into recovery. I tried flashing Stock Roms, Rescue Rom, Custom Roms, Root and CWM but nothing ever changed the situation.....perhaps this is a bigger problem?!

Does it work?
Among other features, this one (as stated on their thread):

Problem with toolkit is that i does not see my phone. I can only get to download mode. Nothing else. Can't boot it up and when i try to use the toolkit it says that USB debugging needs to be enabled... well seems like that isnt the case, did not need it before so i think it's disabled :/
What did you do to the phone exactly?
Did you ever root it? Which root method did you use? From where did you follow instructions to do so?
Did you ever flash some firmware? Which one? What's the full name of the file you flashed?
EDIT: Please, these questions are mandatory to understand the issue.
Alright so it happened on sunday, my phone was complete Stock and i never installed root or custom rom before on this device. I was checking my mails when the phone suddenly rebooted. When it was up again i suddenly got the S-Voice instructions which i had to click through. After that the phone rebooted again. When i had to enter the PIN i just touched the screen for a second and the screen went black again. Now it rebooted to bootscreen and got stuck there. After that i tried anything to get it back to life. I am not able to enter recovery, only download mode.
In the meatime i flashed anything that looked promising. For example the newest Stock rom for my Note 2, CWM+ Root, Stock Recovery+ Root, Rescue Rom with PIT-File (got it here in the Forum for getting bricked phones back to live, it has all the files - phone, csc, modem, PIT and bootloader), Recovery Fix..... i tried anything but it still gets stuck at bootscreen and i was never able to get to recovery......
When i check in download mode my Counter is now at 10 and Current Binary and System Binary is Custom. Even when i flashed Stock Rom, System binary never changed back to Official. it's always custom....... Odin flashing is always succesful even tried it on different PCs....yet still getting stuck at bootscreen......
Dunno if there's even a way to get it back to live
Edit: I flashed my old Galaxy S up and down without problems and even when it was softbricked it was no problem for me to get it back to live. This time i just don't see any possible solution -.-

Did this also. When I plug the USB Cable, PC will beep (detected by PC, meaning driver is working) But in Toolkit's Interface, Phone's serial number is not showing. What I can do in Toolkit is to Launch Odin, well, Odin can detect the phone. BUT after flashing. It will reboot to the first boot screen.
Is this a sort of a SOFT BRICK?
Is it already a hardware problem? like fried chip or something?
I'm already running out of options here. :crying:
Well at the moment i haven't found anyone who is able to help us and i tried many different things to get it working again. Without success....
Perhaps somewhere here on xda we will find a savior but at the moment i don't see any hope for our devices but to send them to samsung :/
After reading some threads and searching for the cause of the problem, well, that thing, i must say that "Reboot of Death" LOL! happened under normal use, stock, unrooted Note2s.

Tried some other Stock firmwares but i'm still stuck at bootscreen :/
Same thing happened with me aswell. I went again to download mode and flashed CWM first. After flashing CWM i wiped dalvik, cache partition & then data reset. Ofcourse i lost my apps but i had phone & sms backup with me.
Later i flashed a new firmware thru pc odin & everything was fine. The phone started perfectly. Give a try. Hope it works for u aswell.

[Q] Unroot Galaxy S3 mobile odin. Unique problem Charging port broken

I've done my fair share of searching and I couldn't come up with much so I strongly believe I have a unique problem. I hope someone can point me in the right direction
Im have a rooted GS3 747 running Paranoid Android. A couple days ago the phone wouldn't charge. I tried different cables and batteries and after some testing with other GS3's I realized that my phone's charging port was broken. As a result I couldn't even connect my phone to the computer to unroot it with odin. I want to unroot so I can send in the phone for repair under warranty. So I downloaded mobile odin pro and proceeded to unroot my phone. I copied the original rogers rom to the external sd, followed the instructions and started the process. Everything looked like it was going fine until I got stuck on the samsung screen. Did some more research and learned that I had to do a factory data restart by booting into recovery mode. Did that. By now I'm feeling pretty good about all this. I followed the instructions all the way and I'm thinking that I'm gonna get a stock phone shortly. Wrong! The phone was still stuck on the samsung screen.
Now since I cant connect my phone to the PC cuz the charging port is broken I dont know what to do. I would have just flashed Clockwork Mod like I did when I first rooted and started all over but I cant.
If no one has a solution then Im just thinking of sending it in as is. Maybe they wont be able to see that the phone is rooted since they wont be able to connect it their PC without swapping out the motherboard to fix the problem.
I should add that I went to a repair store to try and fix it and they told me that the only way would be swap out your mobo.

You will want to be sure that your flash counter says 0. This can be found by entering download mode (vol down, home, power) and you will see "custom binary count". that is how they will tell that you have rooted. Have you entered recovery and done a factory reset to get past the boot screen? If you can full wipe/ factory reset and get back into Android, I recommend you use "triangle away" app to clear your flash counter.

I entered download mode and dont see flash counter anywhere. I got the warning screen were you have the option to restart or download.
Ya I entered recovery and did a factory reset but nothing. Really cant do anything with charging port broken.
I sent it in anyways for repairs. Hopefully they just replace it

[Q] Screen Blacks Out - Should I send in to get fixed?

Just yesterday, my phone was working fine and then all of a sudden, my phone's screen turns completely black. I have the T-Mobile version of the Samsung Galaxy S4 with Stock Rom and the factory kernel. I did root my phone and tried to reset the phone by trying to boot up the recovery. It doesn't give me the screen. There is also no Samsung Logo when I boot the phone but a screen with green dots all over. Then, it is on and I can guess my password and such so the touch screen is functional. The LED lights up and the soft keys light up as well. The sound works perfectly fine. So I assume something happened to the LCD screen? There are no cracks or what not.
Since it is rooted, I cannot just send my phone in for repair as the warranty is voided and I cannot uninstall anything or unroot my phone because I cannot see where all my icons are and what not. Any suggestions on what I can do or try? I got it not too long ago too which is a bit disheartening.
Dame thing happened to my gs3, I did reset it back to stock through odin and sent it in. They told me after I sent it in that it had damage to it that was my dually like dropping it or something. No that wasnt the case, the screen just slowly fizzled out. Pain in the ass
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda app-developers app
I actually don't know how to do a reset via odin. I flashed it and followed instructions/research but since I can't see what is on the screen nor boot it up to download mode or anything... I don't know exactly what to do. Well I think I can boot it up to download mode again. I don't think it will be a problem. I just can't do triangle away after that though after that.
In addition, I would still have root tools installed so wouldn't that give it away that it was rooted? Thus, gahhh this is annoying =( Sorry for ranting... Just very frustrated (like many phone users on here I'm sure).
Edit
I have it on stock rom though... I just need to unroot it... though I cannot see my screen to do anything about it =/

If you have USB Debugging enabled you can used adb to remove root, I believe.
Odin back to stock should do it. Especially, with a busted screen.

However, my issue isn't a broken screen. The screen itself appears to be fine and same with the digitizer. I don't see how flashing the stock rom will help. In addition, I don't think I can find my way around especially when the screen is all black. I may be able to because I have clockworkmod recovery on there. Just can't see any of the menus or anything.
flashing back to odin uses the phones download mode you dont need a custom recovery you just download the right files and put them in PDA in odin and flash them to your phone while its in download mode

Well the next issue is, it refuses to go into recovery mode or download mode. All I get when I try the button combination is a screen filled with tiny green dots.

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S2 SGH-T989 with no OS

I bought this phone from a classmate because he said it was hardbricked and I wanted to fix it.. I tried to turn it on and by some miracle it cut on. But I could tell it had some custom Rom on it. I use iPhones mostly but I knew the boot screen wouldn't look like that. The phone had a silver icon that looked like a trident or something. So I proceeded to go to TRPW and wipe everything. I got to system and wiped it thinking it would erase the custom rom which I think it did but now the phone has no os. I can get to TRPW but I want to restore this SGH-T989 to the way it was when it was bought or stock firmware. I've tried many different threads but I can't understand what to do. II download 4.1.2 and tried to install it in TRPW but it won't work. Can someone please tell me what to do?
Wrong forum, US variants have their own fora, which in your case is here. I've asked mods to move your thread, sit tight until they do (might be a few hrs given it's night on your side of the world & most of the mods are there).
Use Odin to upload the factory image to the phone. That's the best way to get it back to out of the box stock.

I don't know how but in trying to get to recovery I went into download mode. I finally got the phone to get recognized and right now on Odin it says mdm.bin. I double checked the firmware rom so I think this should work.

Anyone have a boot loop issue?

Earlier this evening, after texting a friend, my phone rebooted itself.
It appears to be in a boot loop. It will only reboot into rebooting. Never loads Android. I pulled the battery, let it sit for a few minutes, and tried again with no results.
I've not done modding to the phone (mainly because its locked), and will be returning it to my local AT&T store tomorrow. Thankfully I have insurance on my phone, so I shouldn't have an issue getting a new one.
Anybody else had this issue, however? It's really strange.

Read a guide on flashing back to stock. Use ODiN and flash the stock file of your choice in the ATT note 4 forum from Download mode. Google how to boot into download mode. Hold those buttons until phone powers off then keep holding until you see download mode. You will need to install samsung drivers and for ODiN on Windows go to Devices coms and ports and change port to 3 in advanced tab.

I have had my share of boot looping experiences, never from not doing any type of experiments with my devices. nonetheless myself and I'm sure many other people just do what was mentioned in the quote to alleviate that problem.
i know you (OP) mentioned you don't plan on doing any flashing, but i would do that before using insurance personally, even if there was no deductible

This process is not dangerous if your phone is in a bootloop. Hell AT&T or whatever carrier probably does this themselves if a phone is in this kind of situation. If not rooted or any mods you will still have OTA updates. If you are worried about carrier recognizing if you modded it or something and they wont take it back dont worry just flash it using ODiN. I've rooted many devices hacked compiled roms flashed them and kernels s-offed etc. You can always get back to stock remove flags and your carrier will take it back no matter what just dont return a device with the actual mods on it.
Why not just try to reset the device from the recovery menu? If it's a stock phone it should fix the bootloop.

It won't fix what sounds like a missing or corrupted boot file, had to deal with it on a LG g3.. restoring a full back up or a plain reset had no effect.. it was either doing a full flash or flashing the boot files
for that phone it would randomly happen when the OTA tried to upgrade the device while it was rooted, took me 3 times of dealing with it before I realized OTA was still live
Small update. My local AT&T store has a replacement being sent to me. I'm unhappy, however, since its apparently a refurbished device. I pay for insurance that covers a new device if something, anything, happens. They're refusing to send me a new one for some reason that they won't explicitly state to me.
My loyalty with AT&T has wavered, and I will probably be on another network in coming months. I'm thinking Sprint so that I can least have an unlocked Note 4.
Regardless, since this device is being sent back, I decided to try and Odin flash it anyways. It did not work. Still boot loops at the Note 4/Android screen. Doesn't even load the AT&T logo. I'm fairly certain something is fundamentally broken with the device. Probably a factory error. It's never been dropped, and has been inside a hard case since day one.
Being that it is a manufacturing error, I'm not to angry about that. These things do happen. AT&T's treatment of me, however, is just unacceptable. I've been a customer for about eight years, and have been on Android since the Motorola Backflip. I upgraded to a Samsung Captivate and never looked at another manufacturor.
Are you able boot to the recovery menu?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using XDA Free mobile app

the loop is every aprox 3 mins
some sugestion?¡

This process is not dangerous if your phone is in a bootloop. Hell AT&T or whatever carrier probably does this themselves if a phone is in this kind of situation. If not rooted or any mods you will still have OTA updates. If you are worried about carrier recognizing if you modded it or something and they wont take it back dont worry just flash it using ODiN. I've rooted many devices hacked compiled roms flashed them and kernels s-offed etc. You can always get back to stock remove flags and your carrier will take it back no matter what just dont return a device with the actual mods on it.

Try downloading one of sunderwares stock firmwares in a newer 3.10 odin after extracting the zip with contained files. I recommend latest OC4 just re flash it a different one or try again
