[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!!!
This post I originally posted under Sprint GS 3 forum, but I found I posted in the wrong place

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] 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.

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

We technically can't post the files and what not on here because it is copyrighted so if you go to the general section the first pinned topic is about the IRC. Just go on there and they'll show you how to get everything.

From my knowledge and personal experience, you do not. Just turn off the phone, hold both the top and bottom volume buttons, and then plug in the USB cable

If I do have to unlock it do I have to use the ATT version of project freegee because I tried using the sprint version but it does nothing. If I do use the ATT version of free gee will it end up bricking my phone.

That's pretty weird. Are you using the cable that came with the phone? I've heard that some cables are so cheaply made that they only charge and don't actually connect to the computer.

It might be the ATT firmware on your phone, but I doubt it. (Why are you putting ATT firmware on a sprint phone?)
To enter download mode, all you do is press on that bump in the middle the volume rocker. It is there so that you can press both volume buttons with one finger, which normally opens up QuickMemo. With the phone turned off, press and hold both volume buttons and press the power button until the LG logo appears. Release the power button, but continue to hold the volume buttons till the phone is in Download Mode. Then just plug the phone into your PC and Windows should recognize it as some unknown device (I think).

I got this from KRZ-2pa's stock rom thread:
"Step 6.If you get a boot loop reboot the phone into recovery (Volume up+down and power until Samsung logo appears after let them go. Highlight Wipe data/Factory reset and select with power)"
It shouldn't take more than a few minutes to boot, so I would try the factory reset.
If you guys didn't know, I think you have to have the UVLI4 radio installed on your phone for Odin to install this stock ROM.

I just need a stock recovery now um not really worried about booting anymore its going back to Samsung

Is This It For My Phone?!?

So here is my deal, I have been flashing custom ROMs on my TMobile Note 2 and I think I may have made an error one ROM in particular. WanamLite ROM. I have TWRP and noticed that ROM uses CWM instead. Now I cannot load any ROM as it either upgrades itself amsung Galaxy Note 2 Screen. Is there anyway I could get out of this mess?

I think that rom is made for international note 2 but you should be able to use what ever recovery you want, what are you trying to flash, or you just trying to get into recovery?

Okay, I just did that and it just had the android logo with it saying downloading, do not turn off target! So I guess I'll wait for it to download whatever it's downloading.

No you need Odin now to install either a stock or rooted firmware , do you have Odin on your computer? Can you get into recovery or no? volume up power and home at the same time,
