Help Please - Bricked sprint gs3

hey guys hope someone can help. i tried to return my gs3 to stock after rooting it and putting a rom on it, so i used odin and i downloaded the stock tar file from the stock rom thread, and all seemed to go alright but when it rebooted in got stuck on the samsung screen. it shows the sprint bootup thing and galaxy s3 but then gets stuck on samsung screen. i can access download mode and i can install a custom recovery using odin but when i try to just flash a regular custom rom using custom recovery it does the same thing, it boots but gets stuck on samsung screen.
hope someone can help, thanks

I'm stuck with the dwonload mode showing. No combination of button strokes or battery removals seems to change the screen. The PC cant see the phone anymore. The only thing I can think of to do is let the battery discharge or put another battery in. I could write to the external sd card for whatever help that could offer. I don't know where the internal sd card is, do you? Why there is an sd card and an external sd card? My PC sees the so-called sd card as "phone." I'm feeling totally discouraged and disenchanted.

ODIN is your best friend

If you have download mode, then you are only soft bricked. You will need to download one of these oneclicks to make things as simple as possible: http://goo.im/devs/billard412/d2spr/ODIN-ONE-CLICKS/LJ7_Jellybean
Attach phone to computer usb, make sure your still in download mode and make sure it says COM (some number). Go take a 10 minute break or so and it will be working again. THANKS TO billard412 for uploading those files

My S3 says "upgrading" all the time

After updating the phone with an ATT update, every time I restart or boot up my device it says that "Android is upgrading". Does anyone have the same issue? How do I get rid of that?

I suspect that the update didn't go quite right. It says that when the system is rebuilding your cache/dalvik cache. It sounds like maybe one or both of those is getting cleared when you shut down or they may not be getting built properly in the first place. I'd suggest backing up whatever you care about and doing a factory wipe. It can be a bit of a pain, but it'll probably solve your problem.
Also, bring on the details yo. Phone? Android version you came from/upgraded to? Aaaaaanything at all.

I has Android 4.0.4 and the latest update. It's a rooted phone and AT&T is my provider.

Are you running a custom ROM? I agree, you should do a factory reset. Just be sure to back up your data beforehand.

No, I am not running a custom rom, all I have done to the phone is root it. What's the best way to back up your data? I useTitanium backup. How do I do a factory reset? I am new to the Android world and don't know much, any help will be greatly appreciated.

What phone do you have? Titanium backups are fine. Make sure the backups are on an external SD card or get them off the internal flash. If you need to shuffle files around, you can use ES File Explorer but BE CAREFUL if you give it root privs for some reason. No offense, but since you're kinda new to this if you screw up and erase the wrong thing, stuff's gonna break. Without knowing who makes your phone, the best I can tell you is to go into settings and dig around for the factory reset. Good luck!

I fixed the first problem with the factory reset but now I can't connect the phone to my Mac using Android file transfer. Could the update had something to do with it?

Like the other guy said, the update could be a possibility.
Reminds me when I had iPhones before I discovered Android. If you wanted to stay jailbroken, you'd have to make sure it's safe to do so before you update. Like you had to make sure it was iTunes safe, etc.

Did you install Google wallet?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium

So if AT&T has an update and your phone is rooted, don't update? I went ahead and updated without thinking about it. I am an iPhone user and didn't think that ATT had anything to do with Android OS. I took care of the upgrading issue, before the update I was able to use Android File Transfer with my Mac and I would connect to the phone, now forget about it. I can only do it now using VMware Fusion. Kies works but it's kind of limited. My next thing will be to install a ROM, but I can't find exactly what kind of phone I have. I know it's a Galaxy S3 from AT&T.

What kind of specific rom's I have to look for, I've herd that if you install the incorrect rom you will brick your phone.

Im not very familiar with mac or iOS but your problem sounds like a driver issue on the mac, not android. Is usb debugging enabled by chance? Settings>developer options>android debugging....if its on try turning off then reconnect your phone. If its off try turning it on and reconnect and see if it changes. Beyond that i would suggest deleting any samsung/android usb device druvers from the mac and reinstalling....although someone with more iOS experience will have to offer some advice in exactly how to do that if you dont know, i certainly dont.
As far as installing AT&T OTA updates with root, its generally not a good idea, especially if you do install a custom ROM. Even on a stock rooted ROM there is a pretty good chance the update will 'fix' your root access and if you are on a custom ROM there is probably an even better chance of screwing up the operating system to the point that it doesn't boot properly, or even brick. Only install updates to your ROM from the developer, and follow any instructions they give on how to apply the update.
Lastly, you are looking for AT&T i747 roms and you also have to pay attention to which version of android you are on as to how you go about installing the ROM. For instance if you are running the stock AT&T ROM and try to install an AOSP based rom without formatting the device you are more than likely to have all kinds of issues, IF the OS even boots properly. I would suggest you take some time to read up and become familiar with the terminology, differences in versions, etc with android before you just dive in. If you are unsure about something ASK SOMEONE...much better to look like a noob than standing in line at AT&T with a bricked phone.

I was under the impression that all of these show that when rebooting, its just a matter of how long it shows this message. I dont think anyone with a stock rom does NOT see this when they boot for a couple of seconds.

Any good place to begin looking for stock ROMS?

Note 2 stuck on Samsung Logo

Couldnt find threads related to my specific device so i made it.
After installing a custom rom on my tmobile gn2 (hyperdroid pegasus) i realized that my SIM card wasnt being detected. Having run into this problem before i decided to use the gn2 toolkit to re-flash a stock rom and start from scratch, which worked and allowed my sim card to be detected use my mobile network (TMOBILE USA)
Only after installing hyperdroid and trying to reflash the stock rom, the custom hyperdroid rom would stay on the device after multiple attempts! Being clever, i decided to download and reflash the rom using ODIN only in download mode which worked and now the device is running the Samsung Official build branded with tmobile but will not boot past the samsung logo (one of two that i see appear upon boot)
Looking at a thread for the original Note 1, do i assume correctly that my phone is now bricked? If so, anyone else know of an absolute md5/tar image i can use that can get me back to factory out of the box, i bought this phone unsubsidized over the iphone5 because i wanted something that woulc pack a wallop. Now im just walloping myself for wasting not just 100 dollars more but 750 dollars on a device, running an os, being supported by everyone who wants their hands on it, in a community that will chew you out if you ask incorrectly.
So im whining yes but i could use some advice. Sure im a noob but so were you once, all i reall ask for is some compassion. thanks...

Thanks for replies, really appreciated
I cannot begin to explain this ordeal i had with my note 2. Thanks for the replies as of this point however, actually directions that i took in figuring it all out and getting my phone back to factory defaults...
So to elaborate, my N2 has been rooted for a few days and i decided to install a custom ROM, which disabled or didn't support my SIM. Trying to undo the flash and go back to a ROM i was using via ROM manager, i realized it could not be undone. Every time i tired to reflash a(ny) zip from my device using rom manager i was still booting with the custom malfunctioning rom (Hyperdroid Pegasus)
After realizing that i couldn't undo the flash of the custom rom via ROM manager, the galaxy note 2 toolkit or via ODIN straight up, i somehow ended up bricking my phone using an image i got off of samsung-updates (which i downloaded using the galaxy n2 toolkit). In bricking i mean it would power on and boot into the samsung whirlpool, then the tmobile 4g accelerated android, and then to a glowing samsung logo and didn't progress from there.
Doing some research i noticed that there was a more recent image version for my specific device (jan 5 2013) downloaded it and gave that a try, flashed it via ODIN (because by the time it was bricked Download mode / Odin mode and ODIN 3.07 for windows was my only available option!) and launched up my gn2... ONLY to find it booting to the animations and then looping them! WTF?!
So more research and i got to a recovery mode, wiped my data and finally voila. (Even samsung support couldn't support this...)
No discredit to the Hyperdroid Rom, I'm sure it works for a lot of people out there but i guess it doesn't like my tmobile note 2 sgh-t889.
I just hoped if anyone else ran into the same problem, download the image from samsung-updates.com, the latest of course! Then, (if you can boot into download mode that is) use ODIN (i used version 3.07) to load the image you got off samsung-updates (OSM will take more or less 5 minutes to check the md5 package so don't panic)
If your lucky you shouldn't have to do anything else, but if you get into a weird situation when you can't get past the boot animation screens, boot into recovery mode (which i THINK is hold down UP, POWER, AND THE HOME KEY as it powers up) and select to CLEAR WIPE DATA or FACTORY RESET.
Hopefully after wiping you should have successfully re-flashed a "bricked" galaxy note 2 that won't boot past the animation screens.
Thanks for reading! Im here to answer any questions or help, maybe i won't play with custom rome anymore but id sure like to start building my own!

To both you guys, i just want to say i elaborated on your answers for the benefit of helping someone like me who craves detail. No offense to you guys, but i was racketing with Samsung about this and driving their people nuts! the solution had came to me before i saw your replies so I'm just glad i took the right path in it all and i guess i admit i lost faith in XDA for a second there. anyways :good:

So wait, in all that flashing and reflashing and messing with Odin, you hadn't done a factory reset yet? Isn't that the first step almost any ROM dev(or even any normal flashoholic on these forums) will tell you to take?

Lol, funny picture. Yes i almost lost faith but obviously you guys came through. I am one of 4 million people who did or didnt follow the rules but thats a good thing, i think the tmobile jellybean community needs as much help as it can get right now and if it takes making a tiny mistake good for us.
actually shinkinrui, i wasnt sure if you were trying to troll me or trying to remind me that this forum is for the leet and the leet only. I understand the work devs go through, but its still a community that needs to thrive, not be put off or put down.

Neither, actually. I was annoyed at the implication that it was this community's fault you went through your ordeal. Like someone blaming their cable company for their cable not working when they just didn't change the input on their TV.
And my post didn't insult you, it pointed out your mistake. Big difference

Thanks !!!

[Q] yellow triangle i cant use my phone help please

PLEASE HELPME THIS IS MY CASE: i tryied to root my sprint 4g epic GS2 , i did it throught ODIN i attached the PDA file my KERNEL is FL24 and when i finished the process throught ODIN The phone reebot with a yellow triangle an it can not access to the operation system , I just can open de downloading mode and the recovery mode
iim not even know if the rooted was succesful completed , so i need som help if there is any file that u can put in the memory and try to install throught the recover mode cuz i downloaded the original firmware and ODIN doesnt recognize my phone now really scare about this phone its not even my phone is a friend's phone :crying:

What file did you flash?

Ok, calm down. If you can boot into recovery you are ok. Here's what you do. Download chris41g's el26 stock cwm(tar). Google it. Boot into download mode. Flash the kernel through Odin. When it says pass and reboots, pull the battery. Reinsert and boot into recovery. You will be in cwm now. Do the cache, dalvik wipe, then flash the ROM(E4GT only, since in assuming that's the phone you have) you have saved in your phone's ext or internal drive, and when it's done, reboot, and you should be good. If you didn't save the rom, you'll have to mount the usb storage and load it through cwm. Search the threads for that too. Good luck

I would have just suggested to flash a one click restore to get the phone back into an operational state. Minimal steps since the op seems to be in panic mode.

How about calming down. Not shouting and tell us exactly what Odin file you say you flashed and how. Sounds like you tried to flash just a kernel -FL24 via PC odin. Yes you'll get that yellow triangle.
Also sounds like you flashed a kenel that was not compatible with the Android version you were on (you ROM version) hence the not booting to ROM
Simple fix.
Download a Full Restore Odin One-click ROM. They can be found in RWilco's repository http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1903252
Read carefully how to use it to flash the entire ROM. It's dead simple.
Then go back and do a whole LOT of reading about how to update and modify this phone or you're going to paperweight a device! Your posts sounds like someone who saw an operation on a tv show once then tried to do an appendectomy on someone and freaked out that it didn't work how you thought it would.
Patience, read, learn. Search read some more and patience will get you far.

Ha, I already tried to calm him/her down, lol. The op was hours ago, so they either calmed down and actually read what we wrote or some of the INCREDIBLY simple threads the guys here at XDA put together, or they have a nice expensive paperweight. Appendectomy comment was classic though. :beer: for that one. Maybe they stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night.hmmmm

Appendectomy comment was classic though. :beer: for that one. Maybe they stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night.hmmmm

If you ever stay at a seedy motel and wake up in a bathtub full of ice, the missing kidney is the least of your worries. I hear hepatitis is a real *****.

Op said his phone is no longer recognized by Odin which makes me think he flashed something he shouldn't have.

Lol the appendectomy comment reminded me of a friend of mine who had a kidney stolen while he was in Mexico and when he got to the hospital they got him stable but he was in icu for about a month. Well he found out the scalpel hadn't been sterilized and he ended up with tetanus, hep c, and some other weird disease.

thank you for ur help but there is a problem odin doesn't recognize my phone , and i tryied with othe phone (skyrocket sgs2 ) and it does recognize that , that why i cant flash it with odin, or if may i do it throught recovery mode ?

How about calming down. Not shouting and tell us exactly what Odin file you say you flashed and how. Sounds like you tried to flash just a kernel -FL24 via PC odin. Yes you'll get that yellow triangle.
Also sounds like you flashed a kenel that was not compatible with the Android version you were on (you ROM version) hence the not booting to ROM
Simple fix.
Download a Full Restore Odin One-click ROM. They can be found in RWilco's repository http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1903252
Read carefully how to use it to flash the entire ROM. It's dead simple.
Then go back and do a whole LOT of reading about how to update and modify this phone or you're going to paperweight a device! Your posts sounds like someone who saw an operation on a tv show once then tried to do an appendectomy on someone and freaked out that it didn't work how you thought it would.
Patience, read, learn. Search read some more and patience will get you far.

Do you get any response from a pc when you plug it in? The only options I see is MAYBE trying abd but it seems like you're in need of a jtag service by mobiletech or someone like that.

HI
jdsingle76 said:
Ok, calm down. If you can boot into recovery you are ok. Here's what you do. Download chris41g's el26 stock cwm(tar). Google it. Boot into download mode. Flash the kernel through Odin. When it says pass and reboots, pull the battery. Reinsert and boot into recovery. You will be in cwm now. Do the cache, dalvik wipe, then flash the ROM(E4GT only, since in assuming that's the phone you have) you have saved in your phone's ext or internal drive, and when it's done, reboot, and you should be good. If you didn't save the rom, you'll have to mount the usb storage and load it through cwm. Search the threads for that too. Good luck

There is really nothing I can suggest at this point other than you need to look up mobiletech jtag service if you're willing to invest in fixing the phone. Even then it's not a guaranteed fix.

OEM issues

Hello. 3 weeks ago I was testing lineage 19 and had decided to install the gapps. The problem is, when I was trying to start TWRP it did not start from the twrp logo so I tried to flash from odin TWRP 3.4.0 to "try" to fix the recovery. When the phone did not start I decided to reinstall the official rom but I only found a version that worked flashing by odin (mexican version. at&t) the phone started and I decided to wait 7 days for the oem unlock to reappear. The problem is that 8 days have passed and oem unlock is still not available and when I go back to download mode it says rmm prenormal.
Will it have to do with having used a telephony rom when installing stock? I have no idea why it does not appear (it should be clarified. I did not turn off the device or disconnect from the internet in all that time, only when it was already on the eighth day because it was already very saturated) Sorry if I'm posting this wrong, or if you misunderstand what I'm trying to say. It's my first time writing here and I don't speak enough English to write this for myself. So I'm trying to "improve" the google translation changing some words
Thank you very much for reading this post and any help is welcome.

.

right now im waiting the 7 days but its weird, i installed the stock of my country but the boot have a att logo and in my country there is no att company lol i even tried downloading from oficial samsung and same logo... hope it work without problem, so Did you fix your problem?

not really. After what I have mentioned, I completely cleaned the phone many times. until a week ago I remembered that I just bought the mobile it took approximately 13 days for the oem unlock to appear. (I suppose that because it is a company it will take longer, I don't know) and a friend told me to wait approximately 300 hours (I have currently 222 hours). I feel that if it does not appear again I will be forced to buy a new phone :/

damn that sucks and weird, everyone said they just wait 7+ days without power off the phone and worked... first time i read about waiting more time, are you sure your phone isnt power off in the waiting time?

I am pretty sure. I do not turn off the mobile at all or disconnect it from the mobile data since I cannot make calls because of the VoLTE that is not available so I always receive calls through third-party applications. It should be clarified that I do not have an automatic restart activated, I also registered the mobile in the updates. At the moment I have 250 hours, I will wait 2 days to see if my theory is true.

It still appears that the phone has been on for 250 hours in the settings. so I don't think it's because of some reboot or shutdown :/

If you dint re lock the bootloader when you installed that rom, the bootloader is unlocked right now, but pretty sure you have the samsung rmm in prenormal and thats why to "fix" it we need to wait 7+ days of usage so you should enter in download mode and check your RMM setting again or you should try to install another rom, could be some issue with that one

I had thought about that, but there are a lot of problems to find and download the correct version for the binary. I was still doing searches when I updated to android 8 just to install TWRP and they also match the 13 days that I had mentioned before. if it doesn't appear again I'll have to download another rom at 50kbps
When updating use odin since by chance the OTA update did not work. The same thing happened to lose the oem unlock and while I was preparing everything to install TWRP, approximately 20 days passed. but I already had the unlocking after 15 days.

I want to thank you for the program. It worked perfectly (although I used it from android because I was too lazy to turn on the PC) Today at dawn I installed the romania version (I used that version the first time I installed TWRP) All the AT&T garbage is gone
Now I only have to wait 7 days to see if the rom had any errors (Curiously when trying to update the available time zones by restarting it never updated. I think that was the problem)
Sorry for the question. But, did the oem unlock appear to you in all this time that passed?
Since you commented approximately 9 days ago until now I thought I'd ask you if the oem unlock appeared even using a rom that had the at&t logo

Your welcome mate right now i have 143h(my fault i restart it lol) so we will see tomorrow if the option appear, still i dont care about the OEM option because it was set ON last time because i was using LOS, but the "RMM state = Prenormal" in download mode its what is locking my phone to be available to change rom, so yeah we will see tomorrow!

Saddly dint work, gonna try installing a old version of my country code or try to get a clean version, not this weird thing with att $ht
Edit:nothing seems to work so i installed the newest update of my country and debloat the rom... it let it to my mom again and she will be using a good amount of time 4 weeks and ill check again.
Edit 2: seems we are out of options now https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...d-expired-certificate-whats-next-lol.4403393/

Yup. that explains everything. It seems that in the end I will have to change my phone, do you think there is a way to remove the prenormal RMM? I'm not very experienced in mobile development. This really makes me cry

There are apps for repair services (like ChimeraTool) that can unlock it. Wouldn't be free, though.

I wonder what is "recent" I also tried this when I had the ATT rom. it didn't work for me anyway. I would try if it works but I'm already tired of flashing stock rom every time I try
I guess I'll wait for it to just unlock or I don't know
