i have a hard brick so i did sd card trick. now my phone boots to a black screen that say:
Here the screeen I got When I boot up using sd card
BOOT RECOVERY MODE
CHECK BOOT PARTITIONS
BOOT RECOVERY
WRITE 159488 sectors
FLASH WRITE FAILURE
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SGH-I747
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: NO
CURRENT BINARY: SAMSUNG OFFICIAL
SYSTEM STATUS: NONE
QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE
Ok so the purpose of the sd card is to boot the phone, boot it into DL mode the keep following the instructions in the thread. You have to flash a full restore to stock tar file via odin at this point to restore the device itself. You should have posted this question in the thread for the http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43724690SD card repair method instead of starting a new thread.
Have a great day!

You are going to get more help going to the source http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43724690
Also are you booting it to download mode? or are you booting into recovery mode? Vol down+home+power button should get you into DL mode

Plz help. Here is what happened. I messed up my device so bad it won't turn on or do ANYTHING. I was thinking about getting a jig( if those even work in my case) or having it J-Tagged, but those are MY LAST OPTIONS! I need help really bad and I know I messed up but if anyone knows how to fix it, any help will be gratefully accepted. Thanks.

Welcome to the forum! You need to provide more information than you have for anyone to be able to help. What device model and carrier is it? How did you get to the bricked state? Were you flashing any firmware? If so, what? What's the firmware history - Android version etc? Recovering from a brick isn't always a hard thing and we do it all the time. We would, however, need to know more.

Hello, the model is the Samsung Galaxy SIII SGH-I747 and the carrier is AT&T. Well I tried rooting it with Team epic root, it didn't work then I tried to flash the stock rom and that didn't work either. It then was hard bricked.

Please go to the thread below. All the instructions and files you need can be found on the first page. You will need a micro SD card with, at least, 16Gb capacity. Won't work with an 8Gb card.

The debrick card lets the phone boot by simulating the internal workings of the device. To get the phone to start working normally, you would have to work your way up the food chain to a full 4.3 stock firmware restore. It won't work any other way. Normally, you should be able to boot into download/recovery modes as well as system with the debrick card. If it won't boot to download mode, you may need to get a USB jig. Here's what we need to do then ....
1) Download the 4.3 stock restore image from the thread below ...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2658486
2) Boot to system with the debrick card and copy the stock restore zip above to your phone's internal storage
3) Power off your phone. Boot into download mode - either with the Volume Down/Power/Home button combo or with a USB jig.
4) Flash custom recovery -TWRP or CWM- via Odin. You can download the Odin flashable *.Tar file for TWRP from the link below ...
http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/d2att/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.1-d2att.tar
5) After successfully flashing custom recovery, remove the battery to avoid rebooting to system, replace the battery and reboot to (custom) recovery with Volume Up/Power/Home buttons
6) Select install and navigate to the stock restore zip you saved earlier. Select this file and swipe to confirm installation. Wait for firmware installation to complete
7) Clear cache/dalvik and reboot to system
Hope this works for you. Good luck!

Hi
I have SGH-i747 it was Bricked before but i solute this problem by Debrick Micro SD card ( 16G class10)
then i Flash it by Odin with this ROM( I747UCUEMJB 4.3 ) and its ok
but the problem is the device not booting normally or its not booting up ( system , download mode and recovery ) without Debrick SD card !!!!!!???????
i have installed custom recovery philz_touch_6.07.9 and making wipe data , cache and Dalvik and stay no booting up without Debrick SD card
pleas any one help me
My wife's SG3 SGH-I747 will show the white "Samsung" logo, then the white Samsung Galaxy S3 logo, then it goes black. Pulled the battery several times, no luck. I'm assuming this was caused by a failed update.
I can get it into download mode, I have cleared the Cache and rebooted with no luck.
I'm not a complete rookie at this, but I haven't done it for years and I'm afraid of losing the data on the phone.
How would you suggest I proceed to save the data? (Pictures and movies)
install a previous stock rom via the download mode? Or odin? I don't have a custom recovery installed.
Will the unbrick method work in my situation? If so will it wipe the phone?
I've searched the forum and can't find anyone saying if the data is salvageable.
I know it's my fault for not backing up her data, but she's in tears over losing pictures of the kids. Please help if you can.
Thanks,
Installing a ROM via Odin may require you to do a factory reset before it boots.
Boot into download mode and look at the screen. Do you see anything about a warranty bit?
I just get the download screen. (See attached picture) Nothing about a warranty
Options are:
Reboot system now
apply update from external storage
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
apply update from cache
Then it shows:
#MANUAL MODE#
--APPLLYING MULTI-CSC...
APPLIED THE CSC-CODE : ATT
SUCCESSFULLY APPLIED MULTI-csc.
.
That is the recovery mode, not download mode. To get into download, press the home button, volume down, and power button. Once the phone starts to boot, release the power button and hold the other two until you see the download message and press volume up to continue.
You were right. In download mode it says:
ODIN MODE
product name: sgh-i747
CURRENT BINARY: CUSTOM
SYSTEM STATUS: CUSTOM
QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE
WARRANTY BIT: 1
BOOTLOADER AP SWREV: 3
DOWNLOADING....
DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!!
Since the warranty bit is 1, this tells me you have at least a 4.3 bootloader on your phone.
The only thing I can think of to get the files would be to flash twrp onto your phone in download mode. Then mount the drive, connect the phone to your computer, and use Windows Explorer (assuming you're on a Win machine) to copy the files off the phone.

Flashing a new rom would wipe the phone?
The last full firmware AT&T released was 4.1.1. The AT&T 4.3 and 4.4.2 ROMs were only released as OTA updates for an existing stock ROM and stock recovery on a phone.
If you want to flash a 4.3 or 4.4.2 ROM, you need to use a version found on XDA to to this. Trying to flash a 4.3 ROM onto a 4.4.2 bootloader and modem could brick your phone. In fact, any flashing procedure can result in a brick or a loss of user data.
Even if you successfully flash a ROM, the ROM may not boot without wiping the cache and all user data first.
Good to know, Thanks a BUNCH for the help.
You are awesome!
Now...let's pray this works!
If you install a custom recovery, you can create a backup of the existing ROM even if the ROM doesn't boot.
Cool,
Odin 3.07 sees the phone, i downloaded openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-d2att.tar. Is it is loaded through the pda option?
Thanks again for your help.
Yes, flash it via the PDA section. Do not check anything except F.Reset time.
Flash TWRP, when you see the word Reset in the status windows, remove the USB cable, remove the battery, replace the battery, boot into recovery, create a backup of the rom, preferably to an external SD card. When the backup is complete, attach phone to computer, mount the partitions, locate files on the phone you want to save.
Done with install, backing up to SD now.
Ok, TWRP worked, I was able to safe the files (THANK YOU!!!). I used the file manager to find and copy the files to the sd card, then did a full backup. It never did mount to the computer, even after the drivers were installed.
It saved the backup with the file name: 1970-01-01--00-18-57 KOT49H.I747UCUFNJ1 so I'm guessing that is the build number it was trying to update to (KOT49H.I747UCUFNJ1). I can get to recovery mode and download mode, how should I go about making this phone work again?
I'm not sure how to check what version of bootloader I have. You scared me about the "bricking it" warning about flashing the wrong rom with the wrong bootloader.
If your are sure you saved the necessary files in two different places, boot into recovery and wipe cache , dalvik, and reboot. If it still won't boot, wipe cache, dalvik, and data in recovery, reboot.
Another option may be to use adb to pull files from the phone, you can even pull entire directories. I will work from recovery mode. There are tutorials on installing the toolkit for adb w/o installing all of the platform development tools. I use Linux so I can not verify how to do this on Windows, but it looks as simple as it was for me. Once adb is present on the PC, boot the phone into recovery, and in a command prompt window enter the command
Code:
adb shell pull /path/to/picture/directory C:\path\to where\you\want\it
and example may be
Code:
adb shell pull /sdcard/DCIM/camera C:\recoveredphotos
Check that I did my Windows path correctly
anyone can please figure it out???
i tried to flash a custom rom... updated the recovery and created a backup
and then wipe all and tried to flash the rom but it only shows cwm folder and nothing in my sd card ... i tried by putting a ex sdcard but it doesn't show it up then i reverted to the created backup but since then only lg logo and then Secure Booting Error! Cause: boot certification verify .... no download mode and no system at all :crying: :crying: :crying:
anyone can please help???
Which recovery did you use? If it's a regular twrp, then it will not see the external SD card. Try installing philz recovery. Just be sure to flash the bootloop fix if you open philz recovery by using power + vol up buttons.

Can anybody provide me an Unbrick Image for T835?
After having done an Odin Flash, the Tab has been stuck in boot logo. Can only reboot and not even switch it off till battery goes dead. No access to recovery or download mode.
Therefore, I wanna try to create an unbrick SD card to come at least in Download mode to have a second try with Odin.
Hi,
I was trying to repartition my Note 2 with Phill's recovery to gain more space. Achieved successfully but as I tried to flash twrp back via Odin, I probably flashed TWRP to BL section and now there is no recovery or Download Mode opening. Tried to access the device via ADB commands but no device is found.
I am stuck on Samsung Logo. Is there a way to recover from this situation?
note: I have a TWRP backup taken onto the External SD card. A Smart Switch backup on the PC. Did I mess up? Is the phone unrecoveralbly bricked?

Maybe better to flash stock firmware with stock pit to re-partition to the original sizes. But you need to boot into download mode.
Else it is hard-bricked
