cry a little, maybe the phone will accept your apologizes and resurrect from the dead
again it may not work so don't get your hopes up to high ITS A TRIAL AND ERROR situation WITH HARD BRICKS...........
some people have successfully debricked their device, so again you have to be patient and know exactly what you are doing and dont panic
Remember Mobiletechvideos.com can fix it in less than 25 minutes depending on your phone :laugh:and they are affordable :good:
Your pretty much stuck if you can't recover via SD card.
Remember there are a lot of options for JTAG repair, research local repairs by Kijiiji and also places like Mobile Tech Videos. Always search for legitimacy and best price.

Can’t access to Download Mode or Recovery Mode after bricking AT&T Galaxy S3 i744 4.3
Hi I have (had) a AT&T galaxy S3 i747 with android 4.1.1

Because the phone is in another country I couldn’t update it by OTA to android 4.3
So I started to read forums that said how to Update AT&T S3 i747 to android 4.3 (I747UCUEMJB)
The S3 was not Root
I installed all the phone drivers in the computer
This is what I did: (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52341582&postcount=38)
- Use Odin 3.07
- Check Auto Reboot and Re-Partition, and uncheck all the boxes
- I put my phone in USB debugging in the developer options
- I turned it off
- Started to put the phone on Download Mode pressing volume DW+home+power button at the same time
- In Odin on the PDA box I checked and loaded the file .tar.md5 (I747UCUEMJB_2024954_REV04_user_low_ship.tar.md5 )
- Pressed the button Start
The installation seemed to go right, the program never showed anything weird.
When the Programs finished the installation the phone turned off and then turned on and show the logo of android (seemed to be lying down or inclined) and after that it turned off.
The computer showed that something was connected (QHSUSB_DLOAD) but couldn’t install any driver, so I disconnected it of the computer.
I couldn’t turn on the phone :crying:, I took the battery out and put it in and tried to start the phone and nothing happened, I tried pressing any button to access to recovery o download mode and none of this worked.
I started to search forums that talk about restart or turn on a brick AT&T S3 i747
I found one (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2549068) that said to download a image (debrick-SGH-I747U-CUEMJB3.img) and using the program “Win32DiskImager” to put the image inside of a micro SD to make the phone turn on,
I put the micro SD inside the phone and when I pushed the power button for almost 3 seconds it Turned on , the phone seems to be fine an it has android 4.3 (I747UCUEMJB) installed.
I can use it normally so far.
But the problem is that I can’t turn on the phone if the micro SD card is not inserted on the phone.
Without the micro SD inside don’t show any sign of life
When the micro SD is inside I can turn on the phone and use its apps.
I have tried to enter to Recovery mode or Download mode with the micro SD inside but the phone only show what its supposed to happen for 1 second then turns off and then turns on by its own (after that I can use it normally)
Does anyone know how can I Fix my phone ?
How can I boot my phone without using the micro SD card?
How can I access to download mode?
And if I could access to download mode what should I do next ?
The only files I have now are:
Odin3 v3.07
I747UCUEMJB_2024954_REV04_user_low_ship.tar.md5(905 Mb)
debrick-SGH-I747U-CUEMJB3.img (80 Mb)

It's been a while sorry about beinging away.
A guy who says that have a JTAG service tried and coudn't recover it. So I left it there because it have a broken display and a broken firmware and it' is from outside Brazil and after the FIFA CUP Anatel will lock operation of devices that models are not sold on Brazil and I747 is probably included on the list.
So i gave up from my phone and bought a Nexus 5.
The case is closed!

Here's what you can do to get the device back to working and booting normally. If the Odin flash failed first time, you should not use this flash again. Instead you should use custom recovery to flash a complete 4.3 stock restore image.
1) Download the stock restore image from the following thread. I always prefer to use TWRP and thus, the TWRP image, because of the easier user interface.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2658486
Save the file to a location on your computer.
2) Download the Odin flashable TWRP Tar file for custom recovery from the link below ....
http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/d2att/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.1-d2att.tar
With the debrick card in your phone, boot to system as you have been doing. Connect your phone to your computer with a good quality micro USB cable and copy the stock restore image you downloaded earlier to your phone. Be sure you remember the stored location.
3) Power off your phone and, with the debrick card, boot to download mode. If you cannot use the Volume Down, Power and Home button combo to boot to download mode, you may need to get a USB jig.
4) Once you are in download mode, connect your phone to the PC, open Odin v3.07. Make sure Odin recognizes your phone. Do not check or uncheck any boxes but leave the defaults as is. In the PDA box, load the TWRP Tar file you downloaded earlier. Click on Start and wait for flashing to complete. When you get to Pass, disconnect your phone from the PC and pull out the battery to stop it trying to reboot.
5) Replace the battery and with the debrick card inside, boot to Recovery mode by pressing the Volume Up, Power and Home buttons. If you do this right, you should be able to get to recovery mode.
6) Select Install and navigate to the stock restore zip file you saved to your phone earlier. Select this zip and swipe to confirm install. Wait for firmware installation (flashing) to complete.
7) Clear your cache/dalvikand reboot to system.
Try booting without the card. If the above process went as described, your phone should be booting normally. Good luck!

Okay. At least, we are almost there. Try booting into recovery mode and doing a hard wipe/reset. If this doesn't work, then you could try reinstalling the 4.3 stock firmware. You may need to reflash custom recovery as the initial flashing would have returned you to stock recovery. If you have to do the firmware flashing again, please make sure you clear your cache/dalvik before rebooting to system.
happy to see this thread resolved, this is what XDA is all about, no matter how fd up something sounds, a community like xda will find a fix for it even if it takes months
And the award of the Q/A thread goes to Larry and everyone in this post for trying and failing but succeeding at the end :laugh:
anywayz happy rooting and be careful, no-one wants to end with a brick cheers and keep this place awsome

Hey Larry2999 I want to really thank you for your help it was so helpful, actually I discovered that the battery of the Galaxy S3 was failing thats why when I turned on the phone it turned off after a seconds althoughthe battery was charged, so I connected the charger to the phone and it started normally.

Did you try getting into download mode with the 3-button combo (Volume Down/Power/Home)?

I realized there aren't any guides [in English] around here to help rooted folks that soft bricked their LG PRO to restore it back to factory settings. This should be useful if you got your phone stuck on the AT&T or the LG logo. Especially now that we don't have an unlocked bootloader or a recovery to reocver our soft brick.
Anyway, to start, a little disclaimer: I hold no responsibility if this method renders your phone completely useless, or burns and makes some nice fireworks. I'm simply writing this to document the process that worked for me. Use at your own discretion.
Dislcimaer 2: this method will wipe out your internal sdcard, apps data, everything! It'll restore the phone back to the way you got it from AT&T. Might even lose your cell unlock status (not verified). so keep these unlock codes handy just in case.
Note to linux users like myself: get your a** on windows or run it from a VM. VirtualBox with Win7 works fine.
Steps:
Download
1. LGFlashTools v1.5. Anything less won't work. Mirror: HERE
2. DLL file for LGE980
3. Drivers
4. The stock image file
Thanks to IOMonster for hosting these biga** files.
Install
1. Install the LG drivers downloaded above.
2. Install LGFlashTools v1.5 (but don't run it)
3. Extract the DLL and the TOT files from above and put them in a nice tidy directory
Drivers initialization
1. Put the phone into download mode. (Turn off device, keep pressing volume down while plugging in the micro usb cable. If this doesn't work, try holding both volume keys instead)
2. Let the phone initialize and install the drivers. Once done, in Device manager, you should see the LG phone listed under COM ports (something along these lines).
3. Find that LG entry in Device Manager, click on Properties, Advanced and then change the COM port to COM41 and close/save.
4. Unplug your phone! Important step.
LGFlashTools
To get this tool to work, you'll need to do a few tricks.
1. Set the computer's date to some time in July 2012 or before.
2. Disconnect the internet
3. Find a serial number or register key from somewhere on the web (a google search for lgflashtools serial will yield some results). Can't help you here and please don't share any keys in this thread or get us in trouble.
4. Execute the LGFlashTools. It should ask you for a key, put it in. Now you should see a dialog where you can load the DLL file and the TOT files that you extracted earlier. Put them both in here. Click ok
Flashing
5. There is a yellow arrow on the top left. Click on it to initialize the process. Once done, it should say "ready/finished" or whatever.
6. Put the phone in download mode again, and plug it into the USB port. LG FLash Tools should start flashing it automatically. When it's done, it'll automatically reboot into your stock AT&T rom and all of your data and internal sdcard files are gone.
Profit

Nice. Hopefully they sticky this.
Welp, just bricked the phone again but was able to flash the tot... very simple and quick lol ur the man mac
this worked perfectly fine for me. i 1st tried it on w8 but after plugging in the e980 and letting the drivers and such install, it did not show up under com in the device manager. in fact, there was no com section. it did show up under devices and printers and i tried and could not find a com setting there. i went ahead and tried to flash but since i could not change to the proper port, the flash tool never found my e980.
so instead i just did it all on a w7 box, the device was listed under com, and i went along with the flashing.
thank you.
Think this will fix the bricks that are happening when they try to mess around with the bootloader?

Nope. Mess with the bootloader and you'll risk losing download mode.

My friend just bricked his and the wi9ed the system. I can get ir into download mode for him but thats it. I tried recovery mode but trying to do that or boot regularly it just shows lg the an android with the spinning symbol on it the lg again then lg 2 more times and just stays there. Can this be fixed with only download mode? Again I plugged it in and im not sure its being seen by the computer.
Make sure you have the drivers installed and use pc suite to get back the firmware

Pc suite? Do you mean lg flash tools? I downloaded it but it wants me to log in to use it. I havent found a log in for it yet.
Download lg pc suite it have lg flash tool in it
Then you search a little in menus for firmware urgence recovery something like that and if it don't work try update in the same menu
And if all of that didn't work I'll find you a link to flash a kdz

Reboots to recovery only
Ok, I flashed the recovery in this post using the dd method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43460298&postcount=208
The value pack was trying to download on my phone and instead of cancel, I pressed install. Now the phone only boots into that recovery. I have everything from the op downloaded, but instead of download mode it only boots into the recovery, any ideas?
When it boots up, It says the following for a couple of seconds:
Code:
Secure booting error
Cause: Device Unlock, so boot success!!
Edit: Got it into download mode by holding down both volume keys and plugging into usb. Thanks!!

Okay, this is my third time flashing a new ROM to my android device. As always I entered Clockwork mod Recovery. I wiped data and cache, done a system backup and tried to flash Rootbox 4.2 for Galaxy SIII (Yeah I know I'm stupid, don't know if it'll work just was giving it a shot because Rootbox doesn't have support for Galaxy W I guess, or I missed it) It gave me a status 7 error and aborted the installation. I tried to reboot my phone but I couldn't open it. It can go into the phones recovery mod (not CWR) but I can't do anything in there too, it says "Downloading now" and just starts downloading something which takes forever.
I seriously have no idea what to do (Yeah, a total noob here) so anyone can please help me?
Edit: Okay I found that it's called ODIN mode and when I click volume up it starts downloading something but it takes long so I should wait.
Edit 2: I realized I need Odin downloader to flash firmware but I DON'T have any connection between my phone/laptop. And there's no slot to put my sd card in and transfer files so I can't transfer anything. I tried to open it up in safe mode and normally lots of times but no luck.
Please help me.
You have to connect via usb cabel
And install Odin on your PC.
Then flash a Stockrom in it.

But I can't because usb debugging is not enabled and I can't boot the phone. The usb just doesn't work, it does not charge my phone or get recognized by my laptop.

You have to boot the phone on download mode (volume down + home button) and connect it in your laptop. Then, use Odin's tutorial to flash stock rom.
you better install samsung USB driver first

Hi I managed to to get to SDCARD Download mode from a dead boot N7105 using the SD Boot Repair SD. Odin recognizes this and phone was previously on 4.3 JellyBean already. Now when I'm trying to flash with Odin 3.09 , it says "There is no PIT partition" . Should I click the Phone Bootloader Update checkbox also? Need some advice from all the gurus here to guide me along this, thank you very much
Hi guys,
I have a very similar scenario but with an Samsung Galaxy S3 i9300:
Couple of days ago my phone went into booting loop but after removing the battery for a couple of minutes the issue was solved.
Then 3 days later it restart out of the sudden and was stuck on the Samsung Galaxy S III splash screen.
I rebooted and tried putting the phone in Download mode. The phone went into the Samsung Galaxy S III screen twice and turn off not to boot again. Seems like a hard bricked, no response with any buttons combinations.
I read other posts here saying that I could probably boot the phone with an micro sd card. So I donwloaded image I9300UBUGML1_I9300UWHUGMK1_I9300UBUGMK1_HOME from SamMobile and mouted in a 16 Gb type 10 micro SD (my phone is also 16 Gb version)
At first I tried booting the phone pressing the power button for about 10 seconds and the screen ligthted up very quickly (less than a second) saying
SDCARD MODE
UP KEY: NORMAL BOOTING
DOWN KEY: DOWNLOAD MODE
But it was so quick that I was not able to press anything.
A day later I figure out that if I was quick enough I could press down key and put the phone on Download mode (SDCARD)
After putting the phone on Download mode I connected the phone to the PC and tried flashing it with ODIN v3.07
Odin is able to see the device but when trying to flash the phone (selecting PDA and the image mention before) a message came up saying:
There is no PIT partition
And failed.
Reading about this error in this forum, I have tried using different PIT files to re-partion the phone but no success so far.
GT-I9300_mx_20120220.pit
GT-I9300_mx_20120322.pit
GT-I9300_mx_20120329.pit
mx.pit
Odin stays on Get PIT for mapping after initializing the process.
I would like to know if anyone here have an idea on what else to try (before talking about JTAG reparing the phone as I am not 100% the phone is hard bricked)
I have not attempted to use a USB Jig yet, should I?
Other details:
I am not able to get the download with any other image file in the sd card.
If the phone is on download mode and connected to the PC, the battery can be removed and the phone stays on.
If I press up key in the SD CARD Mode the phone freezes.
Do you guys have any ideas here?
Thanks,
HAS ANYONE ELSE HAVE THIS ISSUE!!!
WON'T ALLOW BOOT INTO RECOVERY!!
Tired to flash the Wicked ROM for the I747 S3 model and right after wiping and flashing the ROM, the device shut off. Once I went to wipe and restore because clearly this ROM didn't work. I ended up with:
Could not do normal boot.
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SGH-I747
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: No
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: Enabled
WARRANTY BIT: 1
BOOTLOADER AP SWREV: 2
I'm not doing this for warranty purposes, I'm just trying to revive my phone whether it be with or without root access.
Since you can get into download, try installing a custom recovery via Odin such as Philz Touch and then try to get into recovery. Maybe you existing recovery has been corrupted.
Perfect. Got it up and running. Thanks

Remember, as long as you are able to boot either in download mode or even your bootloader, you're pretty much guaranteed to get your phone back up and running. Although lets say you cannot access both, then you'll need to JTAG your device which may be difficult depending on your skill set in that area.
Can’t access to Download Mode or Recovery Mode after bricking AT&T Galaxy S3 i744 4.3
Hi I have (had) a AT&T galaxy S3 i747 with android 4.1.1

Because the phone is in another country I couldn’t update it by OTA to android 4.3
So I started to read forums that said how to Update AT&T S3 i747 to android 4.3 (I747UCUEMJB)
The S3 was not Root
I installed all the phone drivers in the computer
This is what I did: (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52341582&postcount=38)
- Use Odin 3.07
- Check Auto Reboot and Re-Partition, and uncheck all the boxes
- I put my phone in USB debugging in the developer options
- I turned it off
- Started to put the phone on Download Mode pressing volume DW+home+power button at the same time
- In Odin on the PDA box I checked and loaded the file .tar.md5 (I747UCUEMJB_2024954_REV04_user_low_ship.tar.md5 )
- Pressed the button Start
The installation seemed to go right, the program never showed anything weird.
When the Programs finished the installation the phone turned off and then turned on and show the logo of android (seemed to be lying down or inclined) and after that it turned off.
The computer showed that something was connected (QHSUSB_DLOAD) but couldn’t install any driver, so I disconnected it of the computer.
I couldn’t turn on the phone :crying:, I took the battery out and put it in and tried to start the phone and nothing happened, I tried pressing any button to access to recovery o download mode and none of this worked.
I started to search forums that talk about restart or turn on a brick AT&T S3 i747
I found one (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2549068) that said to download a image (debrick-SGH-I747U-CUEMJB3.img) and using the program “Win32DiskImager” to put the image inside of a micro SD to make the phone turn on,
I put the micro SD inside the phone and when I pushed the power button for almost 3 seconds it Turned on , the phone seems to be fine an it has android 4.3 (I747UCUEMJB) installed.
I can use it normally so far.
But the problem is that I can’t turn on the phone if the micro SD card is not inserted on the phone.
Without the micro SD inside don’t show any sign of life
When the micro SD is inside I can turn on the phone and use its apps.
I have tried to enter to Recovery mode or Download mode with the micro SD inside but the phone only show what its supposed to happen for 1 second then turns off and then turns on by its own (after that I can use it normally)
Does anyone know how can I Fix my phone ?
How can I boot my phone without using the micro SD card?
How can I access to download mode?
And if I could access to download mode what should I do next ?
The only files I have now are:

is thread still alive?.im having the same issue as op but when ever i flash a cwm or twrp recovery odin says pass and phone reboots to the same screen again..anybody have suggestion? my device is also i747
Flash cwm or twrp using Odin but don't check anything except f.reset time. When you see the word reset in the status window, disconnect USB cable, pull the battery, and boot into recovery.
no recovery still whatsoever..idk what my phone is up to..anything i try to flash with odin seems to fail except recovery..but even when it says pass it isnt installed?!.if i flash stock rom it says no pit partition but i already have the pit..curiously i noticed that my counter never increase..still 0 no matter how many times i flash cwm/twrp recovery..im not on 4.3 yet so im really freaked out..
Are you checking auto reboot in Odin when flashing recovery?
@audit13
Checked or unchecked yields same results..im smelling a fried emmc..might need board replacement..hard to find someone to replace emmc here in ph..

I'm also in this same situation. I revived my S3 from a long time being bricked so I can give it to my daughter and found myself in this same situation. It would only boot with the debrick sd card and won't boot into download mode. It would only stay for 1/2 a sec and then reboot. Has anyone been able to crack this? Thanks!
A tiny help
Hi, i have been really disconected of this.
Good and big bad news.
The good is could fix the phone, the bad is i dont remenber the procedure i did to fix it, i just searched in many forums, and tried many methods and downloaded some files that helped me to fix it. the only thing i remenber is i download a .rar that contain the android 4.3 for the samsung i747. Even though i dont remind what i did, hope this pictures of the files i used to recover the phone works for you.
if you find this files on the web, or when i have time to upload them hope they can help you.
sorry, but thats what a i call this a small and insignificant Help

I have not had to use a debrick image myself. I have read where once you have the phone booted using a debrick image you can remove the card and replace it with one holding a ROM image which can then be flashed from a custom recovery. If you don't have a custom recovery installed you may be able to install the ROM with adb/fastboot after changing the cards. If this is not clear, there may be a better worded answer posted in one of the debrick threads.
Thanks. I already have the other sd card with the rom, kernel, etc. ready to flash but since I don't have custom recovery, I'm stuck. I remember seeing a thread mentioning about using adb/fastboot. I'll continue searching.

Great thanks!
your welcome :thumbup:
"all i can really do , is stay out of my own way and let the will of heaven be done"
so i mistakenly flashed a rom that was meant for the i900 or something and i got hardbricked and im not sure what steps to take or anything.
I know that i can buy this thing to make it go to download mode, but ive already tried doing the not jtag or Jig method but i used my Sandisk Micro Sdcard 8gb Class 4 instead since i dont have the 16gb class 10 version. what do i do?
ive used the windsik 32 image writer to write the
debrick sphl710.img to that microsdcard and idk what to do now. my batter was at 75% charger aswell and also i noticed if i removed the battery and the sdcard and cable and plug in just the usb cable (connected to my pc) it showed a red led light and then it turned off after a bit and my computer read a driver was missing with QHDSLOAD or something like that.
Go download Odin, go find twrp recovery for your phone, get the tar file, open Odin, put your phone in download mood, uncheck auto reboot and reset time, click pda, select the tar, after Odin recognizes your phone then click start. If it says pass then disconnect, power off, boot into your recovery, and flash something like Rooted stock ND8.
I don't normally flash the wrong roms, but occasionally crap won't work no matter how many times I re-download or flash. All that seems to work is flash a new recovery and then boot into it and flash the rom I needed.
