That is an international 19300 s3 rom. Only flash roms made for the t mobile sgh-t999. There are many methods for download mode. Try pulling the battery and then hold volume down and home and power while putting battery back into phone. Then put back cover on and then plug into computer and see if Odin recognizes it even if it does not show the download mode screen. If that does not work you could buy a download mode jig. But, unfortunately, it is known that flashing international s3 roms on a US variant results in an unrecoverable brick due to the rom flashing in the wrong mount points. So consider doing a replacement.
I know the feeling, I hard bricked my last phone and had to get it replaced.

Is it possible for me to take it back to tmoile to fix it? =[
Is there a way that use the window cmd.exe to rewrite the android system to the phone?
I tired it before for my phone before, but i forgot the way that I'd done last time.
Yes. I just bricked mine 3 days ago. Took it to t mobile and told them that it would not turn on. If it is not in your 14 day grace period they will have one shipped to your house. Free. And even next day air.

Really? Great, I bought it yesterday
The wait sucks, but time never slows down. When the replacement comes you don't have to baby it. Just flash anything that looks safe in these forums and you'll be fine. Definitely back up your imei though.

These threads make me sad. People brick their devices because they didn't do their research and flash the wrong ROM, and T-Mobile ends up being taken advantage of and replacing these devices. SMH.
Send it for a jtag fix... 50 bucks at least you learn some responsibilities in the way.

NO, NO, and NO, go to device manager, I bet there is a device that says QLOAD**, if it is there, BRICKED. You will not recover without a JTAG service. If you CAN NOT get to download mode, there is NO fix. You can continue to look for a solution that does not exist, or get it over with, either exchange it with T-Mobile (good luck), or bite the bullet with the problem YOU CREATED, and pay 60.00 of the jtag service.

I agree, I bricked my phone day 1 hr 2, CAUSE, I DID NOT READ. But I DID NOT once, even think of T-Mobile and a return, I bricked it, I paid for the service. The return service is for real problems, NOT for people who abuse the system with sh** like this. My opinion.

So i believe my tmobile samsung galaxy s2 is bricked because it wont turn on and i took it to a repair shop and they couldnt do anything. So i still have warranty but it was rooted with a custom rom. There is no way i can unroot it because i cant even go in recovery mode whats so ever. Like it wont turn on or do anything. Will they find out it is rooted??
If they can't turn yours on they replace they part from the kernel debug you'll be fine

I mailed it in about a week ago and they said they would email me if i did something to it that would void my warranty but today i got a message that said it was repaired and was shipped back so it worked and cant wait to get my phone back
I had this happene to me 2 weeks ago they replaced the main board in it
well the great thing about a full hard brick is they wont send it to jtag but lucky i wont say it but i have not done that but samsung will replace the main board and i guess tmo will replace whole phone in 1 day
Hi,
i just received my note II yesterday and started to use it normally but after around 2 hours using it the screen got frozen and the device was not responding, tried to press the power bottom but with no luck, removed the battery and tried again it worked, i thought it might be a little hang, so i went to sleep but when i woke up i faced the same issue again but now phone do not want to start up now
i tried everything: starting in recovery mode, removing the SIM card and memory, nothing changed.
note:
- last night i charged the phone with my Note I charger.
- when i woke up i found the LED is lighting green.
- when i press the power key i got a red blinking LED beside the front camera.
- the shop i bought the phone from cut me the SIM card to be USIM.
Appreciate your URGENT support
Hum just use the warranty cause if you didn't root it and it does that chance are that you've got a bad phone...

Go in recovery and do a data factory reset, wipe cache and reboot. That might help

Of course have warranty! When you get a new phone, it comes with a warranty. That's not something that you must buy separately from the shop.

Hello
5 month Note 2 user that had almost no complaints till early april where my phone started lagging, restarting every few hours(it did restart once every 2-3 days since they day i bought it) and touch screen not being responsive. Result was the problem becoming worse and me having to search for it and finding out about SDS. I checked my phone through EMMC and it says my chip is insane... as soon as I saw that I tried backing everything up but as it turned out, it was too late..I've lost all my game data (I've managed to copy a few games but its a few stages back..for example my subway surfers save is like 2-3 months back...), i've lost ALL of my contacts and my smscontact backup says it has no contacts on the backupfile...
regardless, I sent it to the local Samsung retail and they kept it for a week, got it back today, same thing happening...They told me they found humidity + errors on my phone and they had to clear/wipe it out completely. Its been like 3-4 hours since i got it and it already got stuck at a black home screen error + unable to swap applications and once on a non-responsive touch screen. I contacted the Samsung retailer and he told me that it could be an error from my SD card. I highly doubt that, am using a san disk 32gb ultra speed and I only have movies on it actually so...
Now my 'questions'...What can I do? Rooting it can fix it? Or will it void my warranty completely? If I root and it breaks again can I unroot and send it to have it fixed? And if they cant fix it, do they replace my phone with another one? Like a new note 2 or a new samsung phone?
Thanks
Ps: already posted this on sprint forums by mistake and it was suggested to me to try removing my sd card..no difference

well it is what people say "symptoms of the sudden death" so probably and all says that( 5 months, strange behaviour. .) if they dont fix you can talk to them that probably it is SDS if not you'll have to wait until the phone dies or send lots of times (like a guy who said that here in xda) and they probably replace the motherboard. theres nothing at the moment to do if it have been affected by the corrupted data but you can update to the latest firmware which is suposed to have the fix
hope I answered your question

Was the 5 months too late for it to take effect?i already called them and they told me that they know nothing about the SDS.. they said they can only change my phones internal/motherboard (as they said "just the plaque not ur device"
Latest update is 4.1.2? Thats what i have.. they gave me the option of buying another phone..should i? Am afraid of getting another sds affected note

well the problem is that if the phone send some corrupted data to the chip when you were at 4.1.1 there's nothing to do.
The repair centre "doesn't know about it" because if they do know they'll have to asume that problem and they will lose money. The correct procediment is to change de motherboard however sometimes they just put an old one with the insane chip again. If you really want this phone and I assume that you do like it, when they replace and send it back update to 4.1.2 ASAP therefore they usually update before sending back.

They are already losing money when they fix my phone cause of full warranty.. i loved the phone but am disappointed right now and with the possibility of changing phones i dont mind..cause all in all it has its downsides..ie too big to carry, takes a looong time to charge and regardless ive already lost all my data so its already like i got a new phone..
How can i know if they changed my motherboard?

You should have a new imei if they changed mb i think.
I bought note because of the screen,dont mind using it with both hands thats the price you have to pay if you want that commodity of big display.
And its charging like every phone,maybe a little longer but instead you have great battery life.

Nobody loses money but Samsung. Your local samsung service center is not Samsung company. They are third companies that have an agreement with Samsung to fix samsung phones officially in your country.
They lose money only if they replace a motherboard that is already working or not covered under warranty (user faults).
Once I talked(personally) to one of Samsung services in my country, they said mostly they are not able to understand these new generation smartphones. Most of the time all they do is just replacing motherboards, they said
My suggestion to you, print several sudden death syndrome reported web pages and show them or email them if you can. Samsung is replacing bricked motherboards with no question asked (even rooted ones).

I find it very strange, especially since these issues do not seem related to eMMC commands. Did you ever try using the phone without the sd card to eliminate the possibility?

otherwise its a battery gone dead or a motherboard issue, and if its a motherboard issue you will get a free replacement if your guarrantee is still running if it is a battery issue and your phone is older then 6 months you won't get squat
