What state is your phone currently in? Please try to make as much sense as possible so we can help you. Can you boot the unrooted rom? What does your hboot say? Can you get into recovery? What rooting method did you try?

First off, do NOT send it in to Sprint. That is very important. Do the following:
First, before doing anything else, connect your phone to your PC and enable disk drive. Wait a couple minutes now (I usually have about a 45-second wait before Windows registers the fact that there's a removable storage device detected) and see if you still aren't having your device show up.
Make sure you have a reasonably charged battery before doing this, since it can't charge during these steps.
Boot your phone into HBOOT (turn off, then hold Power and Vol-Down until the screen turns on.) Post here what the text in green at the top says.
Next, try to load recovery. Post which recovery you have (if there's no text and just an image then you're using the stock recovery). If you're on anything but stock, reboot your phone now. If you're on stock, pull the battery.
Finally, as well as what method you used to root, what did you do to UNroot?
Any help would be greatly appreciated...
My sister's Mytouch 3G slide has CM7 installed and all of sudden today it turns on but all it shows is cyanogenmod 7 over and over. When I try to go into recovery all it shows is a phone with a red triangle. Can someone please help me out? This is my sister only means of communication.
thanks
the sd card in the phone is probably corrupted or broken.I'm assuming you don't have s-off so clockwork mod recovery won't work if the sd is messed up.and if cm7 is boot looping, it's probably because you have either the data2ext mod or apps2ext which of course depend on the sd card.so I suggest trying the sd card in a computer or other device to see if it works.

Did you try volume up and power at the same time when you are at the red triangle?
So I managed to Brick my sprint version of the galaxy s3. Like an idiot I overlooked a rom and used the i9300 version instead of my model version(nood move). Anyway I can't turn my phone on AT ALL!! I tried putting in into download and recovery and I get nothing. How do i fix this?? Anyone???
If u can't get download mode or recovery than there is no help. Maybe a jig if u have one but I'm not sure if they even work for the s3.

Ahhhh shyt! These new phones are harder to fix now, never had this problem before, but its like if mess up once with these new galaxy s3's thats it, whats the point of flashing roms when you chance it every time. Thanks though man looks like I'll have to call to get a new one.

I thought I hard brick my sons phone and here is what I did: Worth a try at this point.
Take battery out and do NOT put it back in. Take SD card out. Plug phone into computer and attempt download mode. Mine booted right up with this method when it wouldn't with anything else. If it does flash the stock rom through Odin right away and you are good to go.

I just tried that and no luck. sounds like u soft bricked it. I can't get it to turn on period. The only thing that turns on is the lcd light but only for 10 seconds then shuts off. Thanks for the help though!
If your getting a light, even temporary, I'd boot a tinycore Linux and see what mode its in for that 10 seconds

Do you get a screen at all? You say you're softbricked but you also say it doesnt start up. If you are really just softbricked then you have a screen too, in which case you'll just look like an ass going to sprint because they will see you fuucked with it and laugh you out the store. If you are hardbricked then you would have just a black screen. If you have a screen, do some reading like you shouldve done in the first place and fix it yourself.

Mine was hard bricked and it couldn't be turned on period. If yours is soft brick then you should be able to get it back into download mode but you can't get it to turn on at all, then you have a hard brick. I went to sprint and got a brand new one because they couldn't fix it either. So unless they can fix it you will have to get a new one!
Also Hard Bricked.

On the advice for taking the battery out and trying to get into download mode, I tried and now without my battery in I get my red light but still no luck on download mode. any advice like "tinylinux". Sorry not a noob but not a pro so whereever that middle area is is where I stand. Thanks in advance.

Hello All,
I wish my first post was not for the issue of a bricked phone but it seems like it might be.
I have the sprint samsung S3 and was installing the http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1905676 Rom and something seems to not have gone right.
I got an error and when I went to restart my phone I get nothing...
Thanks for the help and if I have no options would anyone like to by a lovely almost new GS3?

I think you may have flashed your Sprint GS3 with an international GSM GS3 ROM. I think you are not going to be able to recover from that.

Good luck. There will be a way to unbrick. Just have to find the right method.

Hey guys, I'm on the TBSGS3 Rom, can't remember what version though. But anyway, lately I haven't really had any problems with the rom other than random freezes that happen when I leave an app open when I lock the screen, but just now my phone randomly rebooted and now won't get past the initial "SAMSUNG GALAXY S2" screen that comes up when you first turn on the phone. I wasn't doing anything with it other than sending a text message and it just rebooted, so I have no idea what caused this, but does anyone have any ideas on how to fix it? I can boot into recovery and download mode just fine, it just doesn't want to completely boot for whatever reason.
Any help is much appreciated, thanks!

Ok so i noticed my speaker/headphone was really low. It was getting annoying so i decided to root the phone to get this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1748803 I accidently used a version for an older firmware (im on stock 4.2.2) and i flashed it onto my phone and it worked good until it got stuck on "Android is upgrading... Starting apps.". I tried to wipe the caches but that didnt work so then i tried to factory reset in cwm. Now im stuck at the boot screen with the nexus x and i dont know what to do . Can somebody please help me?
While your waiting for a response, research adv and the push commands. All you need to do is push a ROM to your internal storage for you to flash. And make a back up as soon add you get back up and running. They're a life saver
