hello everybody
can someone help me, i was running fl24, then i wanted to update to official jb and i got and error on the manual update. What do i do so i can get this phone back in working order
Find a one click in the development forums of this phone. Put tour phone in download mode. Volume down and power. Hold both until green text comes up. Push volume up. Connect to the computer and run the one click. Btw you can find rhe one clicks on rwilcos website.

Do i need to download a specific one like gb27, fl24, etc?
The one toy want to upgrade to. If your on sprint, gb27 will be the one you want (official jellybean).

similar problem
hi everyone -
i have screwed up royally. after reading and reading and searching and searching (all day - my eyes are bleeding at this point)...i have decided to take a shot and post and see if there is a solution out there.
please accept my apologies ahead of time if this has been covered somewhere else, but i am at a complete loss and really need some guidance.
my phone is bricked but i have not found an exact scenario to mine.
on boot, my phone displays the same as the image above that @stevediaz posted.
i can access the download menu (cannot access restore menu) BUT my device is not recognized by any machine or by odin, so i am unable to flash anything on it and i have a steady blue LED light.
is there a work around to this? is there anything i can do to get odin/my pc to recognize my device? if i can't fix it myself i plan to send it to mobiletechvideos before i completely give up and bury my beautiful brick.
i have rooted my devices before and have never bricked a phone. i'm pretty sure i just used the incorrect rom which is a horrible terrible rookie mistake...one which i am terribly embarrassed about.
i will never make this mistake again! ever ever ever. i am looking at my beautiful phone just sitting there looking at me with accusing & accurate eyes. sighs.
if posting this here is not kosher, please let me know, but i figured since this thread is the only one i have found with a situation resembling mine, it would be a good place to start.
thanks in advance for any help offered.

You have no choice but to get a j-tag, you screwed up the partitions and that's why it won't recognise your device and the steady blue light is a complete hard brick

Does your device display a yellow triangle before the screen above and say GT-i9100? You already have the blue brick of death, so mobiletechvideos is your only hope, because right now your phone has drivers from the international version which disables the usb so the pc will not recognize it. After getting it back from mobiletech, ensure you flash something from this forum ONLY. It must be from the Epic 4G touch SPH-D710 in order to work on your phone.

got the phone back...and it works, except that they installed the sprint stock rom instead of the virgin mobile stock rom as requested. researching now to flash a virgin mobile rom, but given my previous experience, safe to say i am uber paranoid.

Was attempting to update my dads phone to the latest cm9 over at rootz ...hes running blend ics, i booted into recovery and flashed cm9 and gapps and rebooted to black screen with only the blue led? I know your supposed to have stock cwm and i flashed in rouge is this my issue? No recovery, download mode, or even a bootloop just a black screen with a solid blue led...:-( im not terribly worried as im a tech at an indirect store and ordered him a new one cas his gps is wonky but i was like 2 seconds from doing the same thing to mine.

So you powered off, held volume down and power and you can't get into download?
I'd try a jig if you can get one, or they actually are pretty easy to make, I made one to have on hand and it's nice to have. But it sounds like you could get a phone swap before a jig would be shipped

Indeed. When i hold vol up and power or vol down and power, the blue led blinks once and stays solid. I no longer have access to either dl or recovery

If all u see is the blue light of death.... take your phone to a REAL sprint store... the ones that have the tech support on site, tell them you got an over the air update, went to bed, woke up and ur phone was like that. a jig wont work. they are not going to give you a hard time. as long as your phone is in decent condition... they will charge u 35$ and give u a new epic touch 4g. it happened to me. i dont have insurance, it is covered under the manufactures warranty. so nothing to fear. just have 35$ ready. give thanks

I have a friend that is also a tech. He said the same thing. As long as you can't power up, that means they can't either. It should be covered.
I suggest that you watch Qbking77 videos before flashing any roms your unsure about because he said you first have to install CM7 on it first then install CM9.

I think this is a great suggestion but the only problem is people seem to not want to read OP's, read threads thoroughly or even want to watch videos. Unfortunately its easier to ask repetitive questions and sometimes just leap into things with out doing proper research.
Hey if I had a 200 phone which is 350 or more on the streets with no insurance. You can best believe I am being careful and reading everything twice before I start flashing...lol
I just got my phone Jtagged because it was bricked from what i believe was triangle away.
Anyways, i go to backup with titanium back, process starts and its stuck at 17% for a while, i get a text message and read it. I then slide down the notification bar to go back into the backup, i press it and it just goes right back to the home page of my galaxy s3. so try going into titanium backup from the main page and it says "configuring data" i believe. So i wait a while on that screen and it just says configuring data, the notication bar shows tit.backup runnin the backup still at 17&. So i hold the power button and hit reset, and now the phone wont turn on, wont go into download or recovery. Completely bricked like last time. I cant believe this, anything i do just bricks my phone.
Also, i unlocked the bootloader with EZ unlock, i did this befor using titanium backup. Could this have caused it?
It must be EZ unlock that bricked my phone both times!! **** sakes, have to jtag again, there goes another $85 to JTAG it.
i used this methon to root. which says to download ez unluck and unlock the bootloader. I am now finding out that EZ unlock is for Verizon only. So ****in pissed right now.

If you can look at one of those chinese/asian cell phone storesyou will probably find a jtag there. The one I go to is in Barnaby Crystal Mall. My phone is also bricked, but since I have it on a three year contract I get the repair for free. I also think they should do something about the version crap. I9300 gets all the good roms, and i747m barely gets any.

I flashed a new ROM, everything went alright, no error of anykind, when I rebooted the phone, the screen goes black, no vibration of anykind. I already tried taking the battery out and waiting 30 to 60 secs, hitting the power bottom without the battery then putting the battery right in and trying to get into recovery mode.
Everytime i plug the phone into the computer via USB, the computer makes a noise like it recognized the device but then asks me for the "Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM" drivers. I think i found those, not sure yet... Please help... I can't sent the phone to customer service since i rooted the phone my warranty is void.
Help please.
Bricked take it in play dumb they won't know your rooted its dead. JTAG will fix it 50 bucks I think. Weird it booted and was fine then won't boot. If you take it to T-Mobile play dumb they don't know any better. No wanted damage or cracks they'll replace it. Just call they'll mail one to you.

The issue was that he installed the wrong rom on his device. Happens all the time with the t989. He probably flashed a rom for an i9100. Both devices are marketed as the samsung galaxy s2, which confuses new users.
Try using Odin to flash the stock ROM. can you get it in download mode?
Hi all. I am pretty sure I bricked my wife's S3 when I tried to root it using the following http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746682 - has nothing to do with the tool kit, more like user error. I have rooted multiple past phones and my current note 2. I got to the odin part and it did it's thing but nevere rebooted to go to the next step. I cannot get into recovery, the computer doesn't recognize the phone now and the screen doesn't do anything. Any ideas? I am pretty sure I bricked it and will need to get a new phone for her.
Appreciate any help or confirmation of a new paper weight.

Does the device do anything at all when you try to power it on? What exact steps did you take when you attempted to root the device? If the phone does ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, not even vibrate, then your looking at a hard brick. If it does vibrate and/or you can at least get to the splash screen, then it's a soft brick and stuck in a boot loop.

It does sound like it is bricked. In the future, never unplug the phone while Odin is flashing it. (Im assuming this is what you did?) Always wait until it says PASS, RESET, or FAIL. Sometimes it can hang for 20 or more minutes, but it should always eventually show one of those 3 results.
Just to be sure though. Pull the battery, then put it back in. Try to boot into Download Mode. Try to boot into Recovery. If you can get one of these you are probably not bricked. If you cannot get to either one, and you cannot boot normally, then I am afraid you are bricked.
This does not mean you need to buy a new phone however. What it needs is something called a JTAG fix. You can probably find several shops online that will do this for you, but the one that always gets mentioned around here is http://mobiletechvideos.com
Sorry to hear about your misfortune, but I hope this helps you. If you do get it fixed, next time I suggest rooting with the root66 method. It is much safer imo, at least I see a lot fewer problems with it.
Good Luck!
Thanks for the info. I did get the reset and waites for just over 15 minutes. Nothing was happening and I thought it was bricked so I did unplug it. When I used the same tool to root my N2 it took less than 5 minutes for the entire process.
I will check out the link. Appreciate your help! Thank you.

Thanks for getting back. He screen doesn't come on at all, but it does vibrate once after a battery pull and then nothing. I followed the steps and got to "reset" in odin where it was waiting for the phone to reboot and after 15+ minutes I thought "crap" bricked it. Unplugged, which I would screw it up which it did. I am going to look into the company DocHoliday77 mentioned below. Worth a shot as cheaper than buying another phone.

Thanks for the link. I wonder if its just the aboot.mbn on that image or if there's something else. (Ill read through the threads later to see if its mentioned). Either way if we can make a version using our aboot it should work for us too. I don't think using Sprints will work for us, but I could be wrong.

Thanks for the link. I wonder if its just the aboot.mbn on that image or if there's something else. (Ill read through the threads later to see if its mentioned). Either way if we can make a version using our aboot it should work for us too. I don't think using Sprints will work for us, but I could be wrong.
Definitely interesting though!

Agreed I just skimmed it the other week and just remembered it a couple days ago and now finally brought its attention over here. Still haven't looked at it yet fully.

Inside the 20MB.xz file (open with 7z), is an 80MB img file. Need to dd it somewhere to make any more progress.
Hi, I was rooting and installing a custom ROM on my fiancee's GS3... And I clicked the wrong version (19300 because they were right next to each other). I ran all the way through the aroma install and it asked me if I wanted an automatic reboot so I said yes. Now the phone won't turn on, go into download mode or anything. When I plug it in, the LED only comes on if the battery is out.
Is there something I can do? Would a jig fix this? Would a local phone repair shop be able to fix it relatively cheaply? I know it's a total n00b mistake but I've rooted about 9 phones before with no problems.
Please help!

I also have a jtag riffbox for repairing, well, almost any hard brick and the S3 can definitely be fixed. No worries.

Thank you for your responses. I finally googled "QHSUSB_DLOAD" because I was trying to get it to show up in Odin, and found this thread:

Worked perfectly. I didn't even need a jig, much less a jtag!
