Hard bricked Att model Galaxy S III i was being a dumbass and accidentally flashed a international Rom and when i plug my phone to the outlet without a battery it has a red light on, when theres a battery in and its plugged in the phone shows no light or anything Can a Jig work for this? Any tips or help
oh ya and it shows up that qhsub_dload when i plug it in to my laptop
It is not hardbricked.. just softbricked but seriously read the titles and ****.. people have recovered from it just go searching around or wait for a reply with a link.
I can not stress enough.. READ EVERYTHING or else.
Edit: See if it shows up in odin, if odin sees it can you flash one of the stock SGS III AT&T roms.
Yea jigs wont work but see if you can get it in download mode and flash a stock img for your phone not the international one

FYI .. JIGS do work for the SGSIII .. I still have my JIG from when I was using my SGSII SkyRocket .. this JIG works on the SGSIII with no problems .. I use it all the time when putting my phone back to AT&T Stock through ODIN (rather than using the key combo).
its not soft bricked i cant get to download mode at all and the boot up logo doesnt show up either
Your phone is a doorstop. You ****ed the partitioning and overwrote the bootloader with nonsense. No, jigs are useless here. You need jtag to fix it__ http://mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-jtag-brick-repair/

When you used a JIG on the SGIII were you hardbricked? did it still take you to download mode?
A jig will help you if your phone boots but won't enter recovery and download mode but if your phone doesn't boot at all, not even a vibration, the jig won't work. Your safest bet is to take it back to the store and get a new one. They won't check if it is rooted. Worst case scenario if your not under warranty anymore, they may repair it and charge you .

Rumor has it you can ship it back to samsung and theyll fix it free under warranty and pay to ship it too. Ive heard 4 or 5 different people confirm this. Id give that a shot.

Well, if you have no warranty, try with the store anyway. If they don't want to help you, you'll have to deal directly with Samsung's customers service. They may charge the repair but they'll get it fixed.

Worth a try. At this point, what is it going to hurt?
Yes, I too hard bricked my t999 but funny thing is I've didn't flash any roms. Here's what happened, I was already on Wicked V5 rom, I went to the galaxys3root.com and downloaded MIUI for Tmobile gs3. When I tried to restart my phone to recovery mode the phone just turned off and never turn on again. Someone please help me. I don't really have time to send my phone to Texas, does anyone know any other ways to fix this? Is there service around NJ or Philly area?
Have you done all the usual? Pull battery wait a few put it back in and try to get into recovery or download mode?

so it seems that the common issue here is that u both downloaded MIUI from the same wepage... I would think a malicious download... and in all Honesty I had bad experiences the guy's tut.... (with the guy running the site) I dunno I dont want to point finger or nothing but 2 people with same problem?? I suspect treachery afoot... lol
scratch that... I scanned MIUI Zip file and it contained no threats... so I'm guessing a hardware mulfuction?? or simply u got a bad phone.
Try Samsung warranty since you can't get into download mode they shouldn't know it's rooted. I wouldn't say this is a user error since you didn't even flash a rom

I gaved up on trying to fix it myself. Send your phone to mobile tech videos, guy did a great job. However I found another person on eBay the other day with high ratings who also does the jtag for only $30. (mobiletech was 60). Good luck

Dont you have regular tmobile warranty? the phone wont power on, no water damage, sounds like a clear cut case of getting your phone swapped out for you.
I just bricked my S3 and whenever I plug it in, eventually, some combination of button presses makes a red LED show up, however, no screen on. Whats even weirder is that when I plug it in, it see's some thing called QHSUSB_DLOAD, and attempts to install drivers for it. I'm wondering if this might allow me to fix it? If all else fails, can someone refer me to a JTAG repair service...
Edit - When I attempt DL mode, I can even hear it disconnect, then reconnect. It fails the driver install though.
Unfortunately bud your hard bricked.

I was making a port from the S2. I changed the updater script to let it flash, it did, and then it killed me.

All I did was brought it into the store, handed it to the guy and said it was broken. Said I had a FACTORY warranty (from Samsung), and that Samsung told me to have the store do the replacement for me. The guy behind the desk said, "Yeah, whatever you stick your SIM into, as long as it's T-
Mobile, your covered. You can even buy phones offline,". It's going to be here monday. Shipped Friday, next day shipping, only 5$. I'm so happy I'm not paying 70$ for a JTAG... Not sure if this'll work for everyone, but it did for me!

I don't think you can root your device with a jig, but the jig can help you if you mess up trying to do something to your device. But as far as rooting it, you might need to use ODIN.

There is a method to root by using terminal emulator and some files.

Nah they said that after they install the part,, before, they told me the price and that they can fix it. So $60 + $150 = $210 ouch!! thats what i was afraid of im willing to sell it or exchange it for another one with someone but anyway i still have hope on a dev to make this happend for the i747 there is a lot of devices that can root without a computer

That ebay motherboard has everything working. All you would need to do is swapp out the motherboads.

its 150$ plus free shipping. its not bad and probably the cheapest if no one comes up with a way to root with out PC
Hi, so I hard-bricked my S3 and I already tried using a jig and writing a de-brick .img to my ext. sd card, and neither worked so far. My phone remains completely unresponsive after I followed instructions on this site. The only response that my phone gives is a red light when it's connected to my pc or wall charger WHEN the battery is taken out, then the light disappears after several seconds. Also, my pc does recognize that something is connected, but then I get a bad connection sound after a few seconds. So far it seems that I tried every troubleshooting method on this site and I don't know what else to do. The last resort option I'm considering is sending my phone to a third party to get it de-bricked.
