[Q] Hardbrick my SGSIII - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

Hi there, I am trying to find a debrick image for I747M from Telcel or instructions on how to compile one, the image I can find is for canadian MK5 and I have MK3, I tried writing and using the MK5 image but get no response at all, any advice would be appreciated

If you're hard bricked you'll have zero response from turning it on. You'll need a JTAG service.
What did you do to brick it?

I tried to flash an MJB bootloader, the only response I get is red led when I plug in usb with no battery for about 30 seconds and then light goes off and nothing from any buttons, I tried the SD Image but can't seem to get it written properly I have tried win32diskimager and dd in ubuntu but neither way has worked or me, I am still in warranty and not so sure I can find someone in Mexico to do the JTAG.

i accidentally flashed international s3 rom(i9300) to my sgh i747 m and got it bricked??can u guys help me to unbrick my phone..
I believe if you flash the wrong model rom you are hard bricked.
Try going into download mode. If you can you can ODIN back to stock. If you can't go into download or recovery you'll need to have someone JTAG it for you.

If a JIG doesn't work to get in download mode, you'll have to contact them for JTAG.

Questions about hardbrick

I just want to understand what really happens when a phone is hardbricked. Like what is it that keeps it from turning on and why wont it just boot into download mode after the wrong rom is flashed. And what does jtag do that it allows it to boot again also why does it goes into something like qshub dload what is the true purpose for that and how is it that qpst can detect it can anybody answer these questions it would really help thanks

Hard brick is most commonly achieved by flashing a rom for a different phone than what you have. It rewrites the partitions in the phone to one that the phone can't use. That's why nothing works after a hard brick
JTAG rewrites everything back the way it should be.

Hard Brick can be from flashing or messing with bad bootloaders (or even mixing them) as well. While that doesn't really happen on the S3 (since they made it really hard to brick it at the first place), it's seen a lot of other devices.

[Q] wrong flash and brick -Please help / advise

Hi all at T999 xda dev community, I flashed a wrong ROM as for mistake was in the T999 ROM folder.
It started with AROMA and then after wipe cache / dalvik my T-Mo T999 does not boot at all, not CWM not PC not nothing.
I even try ODIN 3.04 but nothing appears-
Any hint ?
Thanks in advance.

What were you trying to flash?
Are you going into download mode before attempting Odin? (Vol down, home, and power)?

What were you flashing? Sounds to be a hard brick, if you can't get into download or recovery mode then you're hard bricked.

Yes, it was flashing a S3 I9300 ROM on my T999, specifically the one at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1944035
then I tried all CMW options but nothing happend, no any recovery menu appears.
I think the only available option is a physical hardware JTAG reflash. I found some videos and info here,

Yup, you're hard bricked. Sorry. The mist common place we see folks use here is mobiletechvideos.com.
A month or so ago someone mentioned using a different place that was cheaper and was just as good. Can't remember more than that though. Hoping someone else does.

Rogers 1317m note 2 to n7105

Hi. Before flashing PA I was on 1317m Rogers but after it switched to n7105. There's no problem with that right? Btw everything is working perfectly.

You can easily change it by editing build.prop using root explorer. Open root explorer, system press n hold build.prop use text editor then change model to l317M.
Thanks!

But what I'm trying to ask is instead of going to at&t and try to find a Rom that will work for my phone I can go to the GTn7100 and GT n1707 section and flash a Rom without any problems right?

Sorry my bad, I would stay away from N7100 and N7105 section. There so many N7100 and N7105 ported rom for our device in att section so just use the ones from here. If read the changelogs of some roms here you will see MF2 roms are originally from N7xx roms.
Edit..
Flashing rom made for N7xx device can mess up your modem, imei etc. I
Thank you much much for this info. I did try to flash a n1700 Rom once and like you said I didn't get any connectivity on my Rogers carrier even when I found a modem to flash, and ended up having to go back to stock plus factory resets which is such a pain

Even when it's bricked is it still possible to actually get into recovery wipe all caches and do a factory reset then get back to stock Rom right?

Brick like dead screen, not responding to anything or wont show n your computer when connected to usb or simply expensive paper weight. Only way to revive it flash via jtag etc. There is also soft brick where its only black screen but you can still flash roms via Odin and flashing wrong rom can cause soft brick too.

What he said above...
There is also a corrupt efs partition. If you didn't have it backed up you have no imei, and so you have a phone that can turn on but can't connect to any network, this can be permanent and has happened to people from flashing n7100 roms

I have never bricked a phone and been using android since early 2009.
I'm crazy cautious
Back up of EFS is a must too, it is a good habit that you always have nand, modem csc patch and efs back up saved to you external card or computer.
Once your a little more familiar with your phone this is a good thread to check out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2018411. For the most part the i317 and 7105 are identical except for modem and gps files DO NOT FLASH A 7100 ROM Unless it has been modded following the posted thread. Personally i have been using Jedi x17 it has everything i want extended boot menu,Lidroid 23 toggles,speed tweaks etc... Now i have made my own modifications as well (status bar,speedometer and ringtones) I also have been working on modding MA3 rom as well in my spare time but really Jedi works just fine. Just my two cents. Good Luck and have fun,Dave

[q] help!!!! Bricked s3!

I was trying to update my bootloader so I could update to a current KK ROM. I don't know what happened but I cant even get into download mode with a jig. It takes a charge and is somewhat detected by windows but that's it.
Can someone please point me in the right direction for a possible fix?
thanks for the help!
Where did you get the bootloader for your phone? Are you sure it was for the i747m and not i747?

Flashed MK5 and lost my baseband and IMEI.
Tried another one and kuput.
Once you flash the mk5 bootloader, it cannot be downgraded. Any attempts to downgrade could brick the phone.
SInce your phone isn't booting, you may have to have it jtagged.
I have seen a thread for de-bricking but that looks like it is for the AT&T s3.

Why would it have lost my IMEI?
I saw a method that involved a 16gb SD card...just need to find more specific instructions....any ideas?
If not where can I find detailed instructions to do a jtag? I have access to the tools required.
I purchased an early upgrade to a Nexus 5 and would rather return it and return to my S3 so the sooner the better!
Thanks for the assist!
Jtagging is not simple because you would need to disassemble the phone in order to access the relevant points on the motherboard.
Did the phone boot after you flashed the mk5 bootloader? Did you flash another bootloader after that?
Which carrier is your phone with?
You could try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2549068
The MK5 bootloader is the stock 4.3 bootloader to Canadian carriers.

So the phone boots? If it does, did you try flashing an updated modem? Try an updated modem before de-bricking.
BTW, I was able to install several KK ROMs using the stock 4.1.2 bootloader. Upgrading wasn't necessary for Validus, Cyanfox, and CM11.

No I tried flashing another one after that because of the no imei/baseband. And now it won't boot. I was trying to upgrade from an older omni 4.4 ROM to the latest one and cwm wouldn't flash the ROM using the latest cwm

Did you try to flash an older Bell bootloader? If you did, this would have cause the bricking.
Is it possible the battery has been depleted?

I assume you've tried several times to get into download or recovery without success. Do you have any warranrt left on the phone? You may have to get it jtagged.

Yeah even with a jig. Its not under warranty...my brother has the tools required and experience soldering boards so that's a last resort. Will try the method posted previously.

The op can't get into download mode so i don't think Odin will help.
Loading an incorrect bootloader can result in a hard brick where the phone needs to be jtagged.
