I only had my phone for about 9 months now. Just recently i encountered this problem.
My phone will not charge unless i hold the wire in a weird way. It get detected by pc fine with no problems, but i do have to hold it a weird way again to into storage. I've tried every charger there is in my house including the stock one they gave me with the phone. Changed the rom and still. I even bought a new battery, still same problem. The only way for me to charge it without having a nervous breakdown is externally charging the batteries.
Whats the best way to handle this? Do i do this through insurance? Do i got a warranty of some sort?
Also, I'm currently rooted and have a custom Rom if i do go through insurance or warranty i need to know if there is any extra steps other then unrooting and going back to stock ics.
Thanks ahead of time.
Call T-Mobile or chat with them. Go through warranty with them. They'll tell you to call back from a different phone if you're on that phone because they want you to factory reset it. From my experience, that doesn't do anything. I just pretend that I am since i know it's a hardware problem..they tell you to do it anyways because it's just protocol.
Say the problem is still present and they will issue a warranty exchange and charge $5 for overnight shipping

Thanks for your help!
Hard bricked Att model Galaxy S III i was being a dumbass and accidentally flashed a international Rom and when i plug my phone to the outlet without a battery it has a red light on, when theres a battery in and its plugged in the phone shows no light or anything Can a Jig work for this? Any tips or help
oh ya and it shows up that qhsub_dload when i plug it in to my laptop
It is not hardbricked.. just softbricked but seriously read the titles and ****.. people have recovered from it just go searching around or wait for a reply with a link.
I can not stress enough.. READ EVERYTHING or else.
Edit: See if it shows up in odin, if odin sees it can you flash one of the stock SGS III AT&T roms.
Yea jigs wont work but see if you can get it in download mode and flash a stock img for your phone not the international one

FYI .. JIGS do work for the SGSIII .. I still have my JIG from when I was using my SGSII SkyRocket .. this JIG works on the SGSIII with no problems .. I use it all the time when putting my phone back to AT&T Stock through ODIN (rather than using the key combo).
its not soft bricked i cant get to download mode at all and the boot up logo doesnt show up either
Your phone is a doorstop. You ****ed the partitioning and overwrote the bootloader with nonsense. No, jigs are useless here. You need jtag to fix it__ http://mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-jtag-brick-repair/

When you used a JIG on the SGIII were you hardbricked? did it still take you to download mode?
A jig will help you if your phone boots but won't enter recovery and download mode but if your phone doesn't boot at all, not even a vibration, the jig won't work. Your safest bet is to take it back to the store and get a new one. They won't check if it is rooted. Worst case scenario if your not under warranty anymore, they may repair it and charge you .

Well, if you have no warranty, try with the store anyway. If they don't want to help you, you'll have to deal directly with Samsung's customers service. They may charge the repair but they'll get it fixed.

what about this? will this help at all??
Worth a try. At this point, what is it going to hurt?
Okay, I got a Galaxy S3 about a week ago, rooted, installed rom manager and left it mostly alone...... Today I tried to install a rom and it is now completely unresponsive(no matter what buttons I hold down)
This is what I did:
1. Flash Clockwork using Rom Manager
2. selected "Install rom from SD" and picekd the rom I had downloaded(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1735850)
3. rom tried to install but failed, error code 7 i believe
4. CWR warned me that the phone might try to Flash the system recovery on boot and asked if I wanted to prevent it... so I let it do it's think
5. phone *reboots* but does not turn back on.....
When I plug it in to the computer it is recognized for a second(windows does the usb beep) then fails....this also happens when I try the button combinations
Pulling the battery/sd has NOT helped

Mistyped....... And how would I go about getting samsung to replace my phone? I already made a Samsung account, but when I try to register the phone to my account it wants to know where/when it was originally purchased...... Things that I don't know
If you do the exchange through tmo, it will go through just fine regardless of where you bought it. This is not an invite to argue, I'm stating facts from experience.

You sure they still do that? I know I've bought a phone on craigs.. had a problem called T-Mobile and got a replacement, but I tried to do that last month with a s2 but since it wasn't bought on my account they said they wouldn't replace it.

I suppose they could have changed it since I did it the last time (Sept) but that would be crazy if they did. I get most of my phones by trading etc. And have always had them replace phones if needed (since g1 times). But I've never actually said to them that I didn't buy it new, and I've never had them ask. Maybe it's one of those things that it would be too much work to keep track of, but they can deny it if they know? Cause it could be from a different line on the account that had an exchange a few months ago so the imei wouldn't match the receipt anyways. They would need to hire an entire department to go through all of the exchanges.

JTAG it from mobiletechvideos. Don't use the warranty method. You made the mistake so man up and pay the $60 or so it will cost for them to fix it. They have great support and will keep you informed the whole way through. Using the warranty method will just jack insurance and cost up for everybody that does their homework before flashing willy nilly. Good luck.

Hi,
I recently purchased a T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S3 on Craigslist. When I put in my SIM card, I couldn't use the phone, or any network services on the device. It said "Not Registered on Network." I contacted T-Mobile and gave them information about the phone. They said that the phone has been reported as stolen and blacklisted. I tried to get in touch with the original owner, but the original owner's number is no longer in service, and will not respond to my emails. I looked online on how to fix this, and I've been told to change the IMEI number of the device, so that it will no longer be blacklisted. I don't know how to do this. Could someone please teach me?
Thanks in advance!
Unless I'm mistaken this may be illegal. Even if it's not you're likely to wind up using an existing imei and you'll get blacklisted that way. At the very least....
Your best bet is to try to unlock and resell it on eBay to someone preferably out of the country. Then buy another having learned from this mistake so you don't do it again.
Sorry to hear this happened to you, but I'm not sure anyone will be able to help you.

This.
You should be able to (legally) change the board out and thus change the IMEI.

its only illegal if you dont own the device you are using the IMEI from, my brother in law works on all android phones for a living and that is one of his services is rewriting IMEI's to blacklisted devices, he basically buys totaled units that still boot just too broken to warrant fixing i.e. GS3 with broken screen a new digitizer and lcd for the GS3 is around $450 on ebay, you can buy a GS3 outright for that most of the time, so if you have a previous phone you no longer use in your possession you can legally change the IMEI of the blacklisted device to the one of that device and never sell it. you are probably safe throwing the phone out but its a good legal decision just to keep it boxed up just in case.

you may pay quite a bit more for it but i would highly recommend using XDA's own Swappa service to purchase used goods they wont sell a blacklisted device and do check those kinds of things before the device is listed, unless you personally know the individual who is selling it you should never buy a device from somewhere like craigslist,you would be fairly safe to buy from ebay as long as the poster has not specifically said the phone is blacklisted, bad ESN and so on. most purchases are covered by either ebay buyer protection, paypal buyer protection or both, sorry you got a blacklisted phone thats never cool, i have had my share, i want to say there are a few places online that can check an ESN IMEI for blacklisted devices, so if you want to buy off of craigslist have them give you the IMEI first and check it out, or if its a paid service to check it ask them to pay for it and show you the report before purchasing, i dont have any of the links handy but a simple google search should give you some results as to the service. here is one link https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct...=sPIFnWz5bP6e_D4o0Lag8g&bvm=bv.48572450,d.dmQ there should be a few more out there if you want to look into it for future devices. if you want you can pm my brother in law and ask him if he is able to do it through a remote link. his handle is RussellAlan

You probably have to put your IMEI in it, before using the nv reader writer, open it in hex editor and see if line 550 is present, if it is, you will have to either edit it to have your IMEI in it, or not sure about this one but you might be able to delete line 550 and just write what you have, this may wipe your IMEI, not sure, or it may just only write the other nv items, again not sure, you might compare the file that was created with the IMEI injector, and that backup file and see if the IMEI injector has any of the other lines, that that backup file has if not, copy the IMEI from the injector file by hand typing do not copy and paste, into line 550 of the backup file save and then try, however I am NOT a pro on this, so I would definitely want to double check that with someone who has a little more experience before I did anything
i cant do it until my wife gets home but if you can send me the file the IMEI injector created, i can do a NV backup of my wifes phone(T999) and insert your IMEI in place of hers and see if that will work out for you, or if you want to PM me your IMEI and post a link to the injector tool i could simply generate your NV IMEI Item here and add it to her Backup, then i can send it to you and you can use the CDMA NVdata reader Writer tool to write the entire backup to your phone and see if that works, i would make a backup of what you do have and save it just in case something were to go wrong during the write phase, you could at least write that backup to your phone until you can get another option figured out. just need to verify from you that you do have a T-Mobile S3 AKA SGH-T999 and not another variant

Basically, if you use the file.linked a few posts back. You will neef to check if whoever made it left their imei in it. If so you need to replace it with yours. If not.you need to.insert yours in the correct line.
@all, can anyone confirm that there is no other device specific info in those backups? If there is you probably don't want to use someone else's. I just can't remember...

i looked at the nvitem.txt in that post it shows line 550 as an inactive item, so you should be able to just write that file to your phone with the tool, just a fair warning use the CDMA reader/writer tool i linked to do a nv data backup before writing the nvitem.txt you linked just incase line 550 (THIS IS YOUR IMEI) gets removed from your phone when you write the file to fix your 3g/4g at least this way you will have a backup to where you currently are instead of making matters WAY WORSE!
@doc i looked through the file he is trying to use to fix his 3G/4G it looks like whoever wrote it deactivated any device specific items, there are very few lines that remain active the rest show as inactive, still having the offset for the line but no info to be written.

All right, so I should write my respective imei in line 550. I already have a backup, and I have the generator tool as well. I will report back thanks so much for the help, as well as docholiday

Nope, since line 550 shows as inactive you should only have to write the 3G/4G nv items to the phone, it should skip all inactive items, and just add to what's already there.
The backup is just a precaution.

check your PM's you should have the link to your new QNC file, let me know when you have downloaded both so i can remove them for your safety and my DEV-HOST space. I also included an on device nvdata backup and restore app, once you have restored the qcn with QPST and rebooted, verify your services are back if so make a backup of your NV data before doing anything else, this will help you avoid this problem in the future.
@everyone else if you need this service performed for your S3 just PM me i would be glad to help.
Try this one out. Register your device at the below link and get 25$ of PlayStore, 50$ of Samsung Hub and other goodies.

Ignore that it says Note 10.1. I tried with my Note 2 and S3 and it worked. You might want to give it a shot with your Samsung devices and see if it works.
If you are on 4.1.2 ROMs, you can get your S/N from Settings->About Device->Status->Serial Number. Otherwise pull it from behind your battery
Drop me a thanks if it worked for you.

Well, that definitely worked. I did not get a coupon for Samsung Hub for some reason, but I did get $25 to the Play Store. Thanks for sharing!
Awesome! it worked with my S3 SN.

Remove your battery and look for the Serial behind it, that should work. As far as I know , 4.3 ROM's dont list the serial number

Is it saying the Serial is invalid or some other field is? Are you sure you took the Serial # from behind your battery?
Sorry if it didn't work for you after trying all the above.

what were the serial #'s? look behind your battery?
Worked for me for the $25 Play store credit. Sweet! Thanks!
thank you so much for this
good job finding this
Awesome. Thanks. Only worked for one device even tho I registered 2 per gmail account. But I at least got the credit.
Apparently people were able to do this unlimited times using altered serial numbers until a short while ago.
Oh Samsung...

The sn on my Verizon didn't work.....I know why...cause I already registered that with Samsung when I got my phone.....then I switched to T-Mobile and my friend gave me her s3 from at&t....which is a refurb.....so the sticker on the back of the phone got switched out for a refurb sticker and the numbers on the sticker dont work. The sn that is in this phone doesn't look like any other s3 sn.

OK folks, all Samsung is wanting is for users to register their own devices, we are not going to allow users to start discussing the sharing of or other fraudulent actions in order to fool the mother ship of their program awards.
This is nothing more than the "Register for your Galaxy Perks" program, nothing really new other than there are new devices and most users probably never registered to begin with.
If it didn't or doesn't work for you, odds are you have already registered ???
Funny... I received my promo code for the Play Store credit but when I try to redeem it, it says it can't be applied in my country (I'm in Canada)...
I wonder what I can do with this? :angel:

As far as I know, Play Store credits work only in the US.
