Xlite rom killed my phone

I don't know why, but the xlite rom has killed my phone.
NO POWER WHATSOEVER.
I plugged it in to the wall and a I get a red LED for about a minute, and then it goes away.
This is my FIRST DAY w/ the GS3.

Why dont you tell me? Its obviously not the rom, a rom definitely wouldnt break your phone, or everyone who flashed it would be bricked like you are. So that only leaves one other thing that it could be and thats that you messed it up somehow

I watched the installation. It went thru the custom clockwork mod looking install, gave me a success, and said it would reboot. And now nothing.
HOW AM I NOT TO THINK THAT IT'S THE ROM?

Q &A thread helps.........put your phone into download mode and flash stock through Odin...look where you post please

Hey . I ma not a geek but i think you can charge thé phone or flash whit flashtool a official rom ! Can you get on tour phone fastboot ? If yes your phone have chance to wake up

I'll clue you in on the problem....xlite is a rom for the international galaxy siii and you are in a forum dedicated to the AT&T version. One would deduce that you flashed the wrong rom on your phone. My suggestion is to read, read, read before you flash anything else if you are able to unbrick your phone.

Dude, everyone else flashed it with no problem at all. If you had a problem, its YOUR fault. This is why devs have to put a disclaimer with there roms, cuz stupid people mess up there phones and blame it on the devs work. They arent the ones who did something wrong to your phone. They provide the ROM, they cant help it if you dont know how to use it

Keep it civil, name calling is inappropriate. You made mistake, it happens. Just pm a mod and have them move this thread to q&a, hopefully you can get your answer from more civil people...good luck.

I'm not sure how you installed it, but i don't think i've ever installed a custom ROM and it automatically rebooted...
Not to mention as someone else already stated, you seem to have flashed an International ROM on a USA S3....

Hows the battery life ?

Haven't had to charge the phone since I performed the mod. I think this mod writes to /mnt/sdcard/new folder...which in turn does absolutely nothing besides enable immortal battery tweak.

Will this trip my flash counter?

I hadn't thought of that until you mentioned it. I just checked and unfortunately it does trip the counter. Before the mod I was at 0, and now it reads over 9000, and no longer samsung official... If attempted make sure you grab a copy of Triangle Away.

This bricked my phone :silly:

It's not about the picture, which we all know can be faked. It's about multiple places reporting that 4.2.2 will come out this month after being quiet on the subject for quite some time. Something is happening for sure.

Changing the build.prop wouldn't change the easter egg (or would it?). You need the build fingerprint

Just changing the android version in build.prop changes the easter egg.

If they don't release any fixes by the end of this month for the bugfest 4.2.1 is, Google just isn't trying hard enough.

This Bluetooth problem has made me seriously hate my phone. I can't wait for it to be fixed.
I'm not sure if it's the ROM I'm on, but it's definitely gotten worse. If I make a bluetooth connection to my LG stereo headset (ie: Pandora), it'll work until I pause the music. When I go back a few minutes later, the song plays, but there is no sound. I can't even resolve it by reconnecting the headphones, toggling BT, or even toggling airplane mode. I have to physically restart my phone. Then, BT will work until I pause it for more than a few minutes again.
I really, really hope this is fixed with 4.2.2.

I have actually love the 4.2.1 ROM from sprint and Google. Its super smooth and clean that I now run stock rooted instead of custom ROMs. I know you guys have Bluetooth bugs but idk if Bluetooth is different with sprints binaries but I haven't had any issues with pairing and sending data.

If you actually had some patience and stayed on the 4.1.2 ROM instead of jumping the gun and then STAYING there like a masochist, you wouldn't be having this problem at all.
Do some reading about what other people experience before you flash. This is the latest OS coming from a company that regularly doles out beta products, you know.

Oh boy a 0.0.1 version difference!
Not to mention the only change doesn't even effect Galaxy Nexus users. At least, for me. My bluetooth works just fine.

Stock T999_UVDMD5 Kernel

Where might I get the T999_UVDMD5 (4.1.2) Stock Kernel? I just want it as a recovery option in case I dont want to flash an entire rom, and want to try out other Kernels.
I am running Root66 if this helps. I've checked several threads but I cant find anything on it. I was hoping someone here had it.

I thought there was a thread, ill try to find it.

Man I feel stupid now. We'll just do it that way, or alternatively I'll do a complete backup in TB and CWM and then if **** breaks, I'll just restore it and my phone will be none the worse.
Ktoons kernel is just too tempting not to use. Planning on testing it with Hyperdrive once our Utopia Fiber Optic internet is hooked up into our apt.

My wife's phone is downloading a114mb update right now. I was just messing around and was surprised to see something start downloading.
Edit - Looks like some new bloat called Lookout was installed. Unless that was always on here. It's a system app so all I can do is disable it.

Lookout was on mine when purchased Saturday (12/6). Is there an update log?

Honestly I haven't read the changelog feature update list from Samsung or Sprint but I can say that it may bring some hidden suprises.... and not the good kind. I could be wrong but if you're like many people here at XDA, you might want to hold off until more information is available from somebody who can give more details on what this OTA contains and how it will effect our phones. These days carriers are getting more and more sneaky.

I have update ready also. So going to backup. I have fake system status enabled. Im on echo rom. When I get home this evening Im going to try to download and install on to0 of echo rom. Is this a good idea? Or should I flash stock firmware take update and hopefully reroot ect.

114mb its a small update. The connection issues this phone has im at the point of not caring if It breaks root permanently. Has anyone taken update and rerooted? Three blocks from a tower and struggles to hold lte.

Sprint Update
Hopefully this fixes the Wi-Fi issues, and adds more good stuff.

Looks like an stability update that Verizon T-Mobile n att have
Sent from my SM-N910P using XDA Premium HD app

I installed the update and it did nothing in the way of fixing the slow LTE/SPARK speeds. So it was a useless update to me. I have anew N4 arriving tomorrow from Sprint, maybe Ill be one of the lucky ones and get one that does not have the slow issue. Seems a handful of models out there don't have the slow data speeds. I wish they would address this issue before other lower priority issues.

So far this isn't available through Kies. I'm new to using Kies, should I expect it to become available any time soon? (because my phone is rooted it won't even check for OTA updates.)

Seems to fix all the lag problems I was having. But I already ordered a replacement. ?
