May have bricked my GS3

I initially flashed the CM10 JB stable ROM successfully. The only problem I had was that I was unable to transfer files via USB to my computer, so I tried using the toolkit to flash the stock rom, but when it was flashing I got an error message that my phone disconnected.
When I turn my phone on I can only get into download mode. If i just press the power button, I receive a black screen.
I have tried using this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1771687 to flash the stock ROM using ODIN but the phone freezes at the Samsung logo screen after the T-Mobile "4G Android" screen.
Any help is truly appreciated

can you get into recovery mode? if you can, try installing a rom from an external micro sd card (that you know previously worked)

If you got this far, then you need to do a factory reset.

I can not get into recovery mode. I can only get into Download mode for some reason.

How would I be able to do a factory reset only using Download Mode?

you cant. You need to boot into recovery. Trust me you can get in it, might take a few tries. Try to boot into recovery without the usb cable plugged in.With the phone completely off, and unplugged do the vol-up, home +power combo til it flashes that first screen, it can be a ***** but youll get in

Try turning the device off, remove the battery and leave it there for 60 secs. Make sure the phone is unplug from computer and the hit vol up, home, power until the phone vibrate then release. This should get the phone into the stock recovery.

I really do not think I will be able to get in. I have tried it so many times and even previously could only get into CWM recovery through the app on my phone to boot into recovery. I could never actually get in holding the vol-up+home+power.
Is it possible to flash CWM recovery through ODIN and download mode?
I'm not sure why this stock rom is freezing after I flash it through odin.

i would suggest trying a different cable and if ur gonna use odin again, wipe everything (especially /system!) in recovery before booting into download mode for the odin flash. would also reccomend tryin the legit stock rom in odin (unrooted) if its still freezing on you.

Flash with Odin again, then after it is successfully completed power down phone you have to hold vol up home and power until you see some blue text appear in the top left corner then factory reset from recovery

Yea getting into recovery is tricky if you don't hold the buttons long enough (let go too soon). These guys really gave you great advice.

If you couldn't get into CWM recovery before you screwed the rom then you just aren't doing it right.with phone off, hold up and home, then hold powered button for like 3 sec then let go of only power... but i think you are right the download mode skips the Samsung logo.the recovery puts up Samsung logo before booting recovery. Why can't you Odin a recovery partition ?

Pull out the battery for at least 30 seconds then try to re-enter to recovery
HOLD VOLUME UP + HOME BUTTON + POWER BUTTON
release the POWER BUTTON after 4-5 seconds so it won't loop to logo. try.

[Q] Stuck at boot

Please advise what should I do now,
My N5100 stuck at boot, the part where is shows "Samsung GALAXY Note 8.0 GT-N5100", it just stuck there and not boot.
I tried boot into recovery and reset still no use.
I can boot into Download mode as well as PhilZ Touch Recovery though.
What should I flash using Odin to make my Note 8 back to normal again?
Really thanks alot for the guide.

I have been able to get passed the lockup by holding the up volume button after powering on.
keep it held until you get to the lock screen. About a 2 minute wait.

thanks, I've tried, no help...

I have had similar. For me it just reboots into the custom recovery all the time.

One way would be to flash a new ROM using Android Toolkit

Hi, this happened to me once and what I did is quite drastic, but I flashed a new ROM, as other methods for me simply didn't work ... the time it took to redownload my apps and set up the note 8.0 was minimal compared to the frustration I was having with note 8.0.
I put a rom (omni rom in my case, or you could use whatever you want such as a backup of your old rom) on my sdcard and just flashed it using my recovery (which is twrp, and which I could boot into). Since you can boot into PhilZ recovery, this method might work if you want to do it.
One last thing, the title of my reply mentions the android toolkit (which is now the skipsoft unified android toolkit). I did not have a rom on my device, so I used the toolkit to put a zip file of a rom on my device.
Hope this helps,

What did you do before it got stuck at boot, did you try clearing dalvik cache?

Download Odin, get the stock rom from http://www.sammobile.com
Boot into download mode, power button, volume down and the home button
Click continue, start Odin, now is the time to connect the tablet to your pc
Uncheck reboot on the left side
Click on pda, the file you downloaded from sam mobile is a zip file, open it to reveal the md5 file, place the md5 file on the desktop so it's easy to find
It should recognize the file in Odin and once it's done it should say succeeded 1
Then unplug the cord and reboot your tablet if it already hasn't done so. Holding down the power button until it turns off should do the trick. Any questions feel free to post here

[Q] Shut down during download mode: phone bricked?

Hi everybody,
some time ago I flashed my ace II with cm 11 build 20141118 by ace2nutzer. Installation was ok and it worked properly. However, it had some minor problems, one of which was that battery wouldn't charge while booting the phone. One day it happened that my phone arrived at 0% battery and shut down. I couldn't find a way to turn it on because of the too-low battery, so I tried to see if during recovery mode maybe the battery would charge... but, instead of going to recovery, I pressed the wrong buttons and entered into download mode. There, the phone wouldn't charge and at one point it shut down. After some days I discovered that I could charge the phone by simply connecting it to a computer... But now it won't start. It gets bootloop (more precisely it keeps restarting) at the samsung logo. I tried to reflash the build I had before, but I keep getting status 7 error (even after deleting asserts).
Soo, is my phone bricked? Is there anything I could do to make it work?
Thanks to anyone that will help me
tl;dr: phone shut down during download mode, now bootloops and gives Status 7 error (even after deleting asserts) while trying to flash the same ROM it had before.

Anyone?

I forgot to say that I had a nandroid backup, but I can't restore it: it says "error while restoring /system!".

CWM is a custom recovery. stock recovery is the one you have installed with the stock firmware.

Boot problem and glitch

I have bricked sm a500g, i was flashed using odin (success), did the factory reset and cache.
The problem is, my boot logo is glitching like the screen broken, but it is not.
And bootlooping, unless i hold vol up+power and it boots normally.
I tried restarting manually in the system, but the problem is still there.
Can anybody help me?
The fault (maybe):
I dont have the box, so i don't know which modem version i use to flash. But this firmware boot successfully (if i press vol up+power)
