[Q] Can't turn on my S3 any more NEED HELP!!

Hi all, I was trying to uninstall some of the softwares from my S3, I uninstalled some of them, those are some tmobile softwares. But I soon found out when I restarted my phone it just stuck at the "samsung" logo.I tried to install a rom to resolve the problem but odin just kept showing that "FAIL". I reinstall a clockworkmod.tar by using odin( I don't know why I did that...><). But when it finished and restarted again it could no long turn on again. Can anyone help me with this problem? I just bought the phone yesterday and I already went to exchange for a new one couple hours ago, no sure tmobile would let me exchange it again. PLEASE HELP ME!!!

Try pulling the battery and put it back in. Then try to boot download mode.
What rom did you try to flash? Where did you get the cwm.tar file you used?
Plug into the computer and check in device manager. Does it see anything?
If it says QHSUSB_DLOAD then I'm afraid your bricked.

I tried the newest offical rom and I got the cwm.tar from Nothing happened when I connet it to my computer..
I can't get you the link where I download the cwm.tar, but I did use that for rooting my phone and it worked. But right now my phone just can't turn on again.

[Q] Phone stuck in boot loop please help!

I was trying to flash Dagr8's ROM and I wiped my data in TWRP and my phone just boot loops now. I can get into recovery and wipe/flash to my heart's content, but the result is always the same. The phone just boot loops between the samsung logos. Is there anything I can do through ODIN or anything else to fix this?

You need to flash a bootchain. Preferably a custom bootchain.

I too am having this problem on my t-mobile note 2, tried flashing different roms, kernels, wiping everything, flashing with odin, any advice would help. I dont know anything about boot chains, been a flash a holic for many years, and normally if I have a boot loop problem, I just flash a different rom, but no luck with this one.

Try removing the battery, then go into recovery.

[Q] Possible Brick: Is a jig my only hope?

I did a duma$$ move. I flashed a rom on top of a different rom without wiping.
- Phone boots up
- Boot animation displays
- Freezes on 'Android' Screen
- Does not go into Recovery
- Does not go into Download mode
- PC doesn't see it, but pc makes a sound when I plug it in, and drivers attempt to install when I plug in to pc (fail)
- Kies takes a while but I got "This device is not supported by Kies 2.0. Please try again'
Any and all help is appreciated.

I thought you need to be able to get into 'download mode' for Odin to see your device?

That's what I meant lol sorry about that... At least you knew what I was talking about. The tool kit got my phone into download when nothing else would. It worked even when adb wouldn't Thankfully I only has that problem one time
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda premium

if you got into download mode and odin'ed back to stock and it gets stuck on the "samsung with the blue logo behind it" boot screen than you have to go to stock recovery and wipe data and cache there and reboot, i had the same problem earlier but mine could get into recovery and download mode but it wouldnt wipe the data it would just turn off whenever i tried to

HOLY S-H-I-T SNACKS! I got into download mode. Rather then pressing Volume UP + Home + Power, I did same but Volume Down, and I'm Golden.
Thanks for all the help and Replys. Love this community. I root because this is what we do. I stand behind those that say Samsungs are damn near impossible to brick.

How'd you do that? I might have the same situation.

to get into the stock recovery you hold volume up and home and the power button at the same time, use the volume keys to move up and down and power button to select than wipe data and cache and reboot

[SOLVED] Help!!! Soft bricked!

OMG I SOFT BRICKED IT. It is stuck on Samsung galaxy LOGO. I tired restoring stock ROM but it didnt work. PLEASE HELP!!
I CAN ENTER RECOVERY MENU!!!

Firstly, calm down.
Second, upload a rom onto your external sd card and flash it from your recovery.

Didn't work.
If fixed it by downloading Stock ROM with root and flashed it with odin.

Being calm is number one...
Anytime you get a boot loop go into recovery. If you can't right away pull the battery, reinstall battery and he again.
All you need is a factory reset to get out of a boot loop. Happens to the best of us. Not needed to flash with odin.
Glad you're all fixed up regardless

[Q] Bricked note 2 sgh-i317

Okay so i bought a samsung Galaxy note 2 on craigslist(not a good idea) and what the seller told me is that it was unlocked. well i got the phone and put my Tmobile sim card and it worked. i tried to do a system update which i kept getting a reminder for and my phone is now stuck on the opening samsung galaxy note 2 sign. well i took it to the cell phone repair places we have around here and none of them could fix it. apparently the guy rooted the phone to unlock it but the phone doesnt have a custom recovery. it can boot to download mode but thats about it. if anyone knows how to fix this i would greatly appreciate your help.

Not bricked. ..
Boot to recovery using the 3 button combination and factory reset the phone. ..then reboot. .
If the device sticks on the splash screen again. ..you'll need to push a new image via Odin. .
But the phone is far from bricked. ..it's just mad...g

Is the phone stolen? Might have been SIM locked.
I would try flashing a stock ROM onto it via Odin. If that fails you probably bought a HOT phone. Or it has hardware damage.
Sent from my SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app

It was unlocked when I got it... it had a custom rom on it and when I tried to do the update it made the phone do what's it doing now.. so what option am I left with? I already tried stock rom and nothing :/
Sent from my LG-P659 using xda app-developers app

So you have flashed a custom recovery? I can see that you said it did not have a custom recovery on it (but had a custom ROM?). If you haven't flashed the recovery and have not followed the flash to stock instructions (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2275844), then do so (be as specific as possible on the steps you've taken since it seems you might be a beginner at this by trying to update OTA a rooted device).

happened to me too. pull the battery. hold vol up and power and home and then insert battery. Keep holding till the 2nd time it reboots and you see the logo then let go of the buttons. This should put you into recovery. Wipe cache and wipe phone then reboot.
This worked for me, hope it works for you.

Trying to get into recovery mode doesn't work... I am a begginer at this. I tried pulling the battery out and doing the up home and power combo but that does not work.
