Damnit.. I've been flashing hundreds of ROMs since I got this phone without any problems since I always had a backup of the previous ROM I flashed.. so I ended up in a bootloop so I used the FlashTool to flash the TOT and DLL files.. and I went ahead and rooted, atempted to unlock the bootloader and a couple times I was still able to get it back up to stock.. but this time it wont even power on.. no DL mode.. no Recovery.. no Hard Reset.. no nothin... is there anything I can try before I take it back to AT$T for a replacment??? Im in the process of DL'n R&D Test Tool and the Korean .kdz file since the ATT zip file someone had posted is actually a zip file.. ugh.. Im hoping to atleast get the Korean up n running and try to work from there... damnit.. Any help... Anyone???
I had a soft brick on my E988 today and it kept going into recovery so I googled and got a file called exit recovery.zip that supposedly helps. Flashed and it died just like yours. Total hard brick. I think we both have to get it replaced. Sad thing about mine is it was the last piece when I bought it 4 days ago.

IT WAS THE FACTORY DLL AND TOT USED ON LGFLASHTOOLS!!! IT does nothing but flash the back and menu button when plugged into computer or wall charger.. AT&T wants to charge me $200 when I bought it for $.99.... and it back on sell for $.99 NOW!!!.. but I used my upgrade on this phone... UGH!!!!! bastards... obviously they dont know I rooted, unlocked bootloader and flashed roms and they arent gonna know... but it does have some noticable dings and a F*ed up crack on the screen.. I've complained to AT&T, LG, and Asurion which is AT&T insurance...
BUT!!! I think I might have found the answer!!! So when I plug phone into computer it reads as QHUSB_DLOAD... so I searched and searched... and like ALWAYS ***GOOGLE*** sent me an angel from heaven!!! lol.. well i hope so... I will post more when I figure out if it works or not.. I had to re DL the TOT files since I forgot where I stored them lol about another hr and I have been at this for about 20 hrs so Im gonna go get some sleep.. and Im a hard sleeper so I probably wont wake up till ALOT later today... but xda will be the first to hear about it!!! zZzZzZzZ...
Root, unlock and flash?? WTF is that???
On this phone, QHUSB_DLOAD means you need to get it jtag'd as the needed files to recovery it with QPST tools are not available.
Ya my idea didn't work.. Damnit I miss that phone... So can I make my own JTAG? Or how can I get this resolved? As cheap and as quickly as possible??

Qhusb_dload is what every phone I've hard bricked says.. Samsung galaxy s3 mini, Samsung infuse and my lgogp... I saw someone put the entire phone's OS on an SD card and it worked!! Is that something I could try with any of these phone? I think it was done on a galaxy s3 on YouTube...

We can say it's on every phone with a qualcomm chipset.
AFAIK there is no way to boot the GPro from a sd card.
You need to get your phone jtag'd.

No, I'm sorry.. it was actually my crappy computer.. The tools work great.. Once I get jtag'd I'm going to she using them again

I had the same issues. Use FreeGee and got the recovery bootloop. From there I tried everything. After a reboot got nothing. Just like the rest. I sent my phone out for JTAG and a week later it was back in my hands fully operational. The guy who did it was named Joe over at brickedmyphone (dot) com. not trying to advertise for them or anything. But for $50 I was able to get my phone out and back in 7 days fully operational. It wasnt a bad price either. I contacted Joe up front asking questions on if JTAG would work and he thought so as well. If JTAG doesnt take, he will refund the price minus shipping costs back. So really you got nothing to lose.
I can say that I was happy. He got my phone and JTAG it the same day. Sent me pics of it operational and everything. I was able to verify it was mine by the IMEI in one of the pics he sent. He sent it out that day and I would have had it back in 6 days but there was a Sunday involved.

I'm fairly a noob when it comes to rooting and whatnot, however i've learned quite a bit since i've started. I rooted nexus s with no hassel. My friend the other day gave me a LG Nitro HD, the phone boots shows the LG logo then goes to the Clockworkmod touch 5.8.2. I have tried installing roms on it, it will install the rom and run then when i try to reboot, the soft keys will flash for 2 mins before showing the LG logo and going back to the Clockworkmod again. Keep in mind there is nothing on the SD card besides the signed_HO!NO!_p930 i have tried other os's too. I don't know exactly what he did to his phone. Please help me out. Thanks a bunch guys :laugh:

I know I cannot get into download mode, Will be interested to see if Lugman can or not ... So unbricking is not an option at this point for me. Tried that yesterday also.
Lugman please post any progress sounds though we are in the same river of CWM... Why the HOX is so easy compared to this ....
Try charging it then do a battery pull then plug in the USB while holding the volume update. This should bring up a screen saying download mode. Then unbrick from there.

I can't even bring the phone to download mode. Already tried pressing all the combination keys, it's still won't power up. I'm ordering a USB Jig to try to get it to download mode. At this point, it is hard bricked.
Go through the motions of getting into dl mode. See if Odin recognizes it, even though the screen is black.
I tried the motion, it's a hardbrick, gonna send it in to mobiletechvideos to see if they can fix it.

It's your choice whether you want to root your phone or not but I suggest just taking the time to read everything what form what section of the form what carrier what are the bugs what are the risks. I have been rooting phones for about two years now and I have never booked a device because I read that I read again and then I use the search function.

I had almost the same exact problem, except mine was from trying to flash a zImage that I built. My symptoms were exactly like yours. The phone is hard bricked and can only be revived through jtag. Also a usb jig had no effect on my bricked phone.

no recovery at all.phone is completely dead.i cant remember what rom it was sorry brain fart.i flash new roms all the time and followed to a tee.after i flashed i i hit reboot system frolm recovery mode and my phone and screen went blank and thats when it died.like i mean absolutely nothing.600 dollar paper weight
2 options.. mobiletechvideos.com or warranty exchange... or last resort you can try and jig it yourself...
On the other hand is there anyway to test the battery? Could be a dead cell and that could cause you not to be able to turn on. ... try this, go into your nearest tmo store and see if you can test with one of their batteries. They should do that without any charge.

it seems that my friend has bricked his phone by installing a verizon boot loader in a at&t gs3 i tried going into recovery and download but nothing the phone wont boot or anything seems to be dead.
question is is there any way to fix it I tried many methods but all failed ):
Why would he install a verizon bootloader? He might have to get a jtag service to fix it. Bummer

1) Charge battery & phone for an hour.
2) Pull battery for five minutes
3) Put battery back in
4) Press and hold VolumeDown+Power+Home
If that doesn't get you ANY display at all, not even a splash screen, then it's a "hard brick" and he'll need to send his phone out for "JTAG" repair. They are available on eBay for ~$50.
If you do get display, then come back and let us know for the next step (odin).
Some people think the phone is bootloader Locked. When they see that verizon version has bootloader unlock, they flash that.
I almost made that mistake, but I read and re-read everything for a week before even downloading stuff to try

Deoxlea...... WHAT.... HOW DARE YOU..... You mean you READ stickies? What are you trying to do. Set a good example?
My only option for the phone to start working is a jtag or a usb jig. I I ordered a usb jig and will report back if it fixes my phone
I have a jig from my old captivate that has worked both times I've tried to get into download.
So i bricked my Samsung Galaxy S3. I believe it is hard bricked because there is absolutely no response from the phone. Can't boot into recover, download, or regular boot. The phone has at least 40% battery when I last saw it work.
I was attempting to roll back my android OS to see if I could extend my battery life but every time i tried using odin my download mode would give me "sv rev check fail" so i attempted to unlock the boot loader. I couldnt odin it so I flashed a custom rom to check if I could flash roms on my phone. The slimkat custom rom worked but when I tried to flash back to stock I would get the sv error. I saw that EZ-Unlock app would work so i tried it out. The app said it unlocked but when I restarted the phone to get into download mode, the phone seems to be bricked.
I have a usb jig but it doesnt seem to force my phone in to download mode and I am waiting on a micro SD card to try to un brick it. How can I use the micro card to un brick the Tmobile version of SG3?
Samsung Galaxy S3 SGH-T999
First of all the bootloader is NOT locked, so whatever that app does it was not mean for this device.. You should never attempt to downgrade firmware, it has been stated many times that there is high risk to hard brick when you try to bypass this restriction. The unbrick might work
Follow instructions in the debrick thread and hopefully it'll work.

thats what i used on my first S3. bricked it like a............brick.lmfao.
gave it to some guy and i here now that he was able to revive it by some magical hoo-doo crap. well thats what i deserve for not reading reading and reading some more.
well , good for him is all i can say.! at least its gettin used ! :sly:
err on the side of kindness
Lol! I couldn't remember for sure if that's how it had happened on this thing, so I didn't want to say for certain that it was fixable. (Should a just asked you, but in my own defense, what's left of my mind these last few weeks is pretty much a scrambled mess!)
Anyway, I can 100% confirm that this type of brick is fixable. Using it as we speak/type!
And thanks to mrrocketdog for saving my a$$ with this thing! I may not have been around at all the last little while if not for him! (Might be back using my sad little MyTouch 3G Slide!)
