[Q] Help with Hard Brick - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

Welps I managed to hard brick my phone. I know its hard bricked I've already tried everything. Is there anything I can do but use a Jtag? I don't really fancy sending my phone to Texas and paying $50. Really need help here.

What exactly are trying to do with it? Flash to another carrier? If so try THIS thread. May be confusing since you say your a noob. Read directions very carefully.

It can be a somewhat confusing process, see if I can find an easier method, often harder than rooting or adding custom roms.

You may be better off to find a shop in your area that has experience doing this kind of thing. To me, its not something that can be explained in depth over the internet. I was gonna say, if you've never rooted or flashed a custom recovery/ROM, then this is definitely something you shouldn't attempt. You could seriously ruin your phone.
Your radio, also known as modem or baseband, is what allows your phone to connect to the network for calls and data and such. Think of a computer modem.

I said I was gonna try to locate an easier method for the unlocking process, there is no easier way. I can't explain all this here. Mods don't want this kind of stuff to be repeated over and over in multiple threads. You have to be rooted 1st, then flash custom recovery(TWRP or CWM), then find lg2 modem files HERE and flash it. Then proceed with next steps. Like I said, if have no experience with rooting/recoveries(this is the easy part), then you may not be able to do this. Good Luck.

QPST instructions and NV files PLEASE!

Does anybody know how to use QPST and can give me a NV file so I can use it for my IMEI because my phone is hardbricked(QHSUSB_DLOAD) and somehow its on download mode so I basically can't do anything without someone giving me instructions. Or you can help me build a .mbn so I can repartition the phone
I've read your post a few places now on bricking your g3. While I have no help to offer I am curious how you got to this point.

[Q] Hard Bricked Galaxy S3 Any hope?

Specs: I have a Samsung Galaxy s3 phone from AT&T
*Model: SGH-I747
*Purple/Blue Version
*AT&T Version
What I have done:
*I rooted my phone today then tried to install Android Revolution HD ROM due to the terrible battery life of my phone ( would die after a few hours when the phone was locked and inactive!)
*Phone won't turn on.
*There is no logo boot
*Can't go into recovery mode
*LED only comes on when battery is out. Still won't turn on.
I saw this video for the SGH-I747M that could recover Hard Bricked is there one for my version?
I cannot post a link apparently so I will have to say later in the post
Your phone is bricked because the ROM you flashed is for the i9300, not the i747 or i747m.
Have a look at the debrick thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2549068

Don't beat yourself up. I've done some crazy things too.
Have a look at the de=brick thread. If you can't unbrick the phone, you can always use a jtag service.

Does your modem match the bootloader?

Probably not. How do I check that?
Download and install the Samsung info app from the play store. Run the app and post the bootloader and modem version.
Modem Board: MSM8960
BOOTLOADER VERSION: 1747UCUFNE4
Look under baseband in about phone. The baseband should also be ne4.
Yeah both the baseband and the bootloader are the same numbers.
at some point in builds or on certain ROMs i guess , people have had to use ktoonsez' kernel to get wifi working. i have no idea why. will try to find link in case you want to try. BRB.
here ya go. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1756776.
good luck!
"all i can really do , is stay out of my own way and let the will of heaven be done"
Do I flash the file from Recovery mode? Also I am assuming since I am running 4.1.2 Hyperdrive rom I need this:
JELLYBEAN 4.1 VERSIONS:
AOSP JELLYBEAN: Download CWM flashable zip kernel
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?1hnavz4mbr660vh
yup , kernels are flashed just like ROMs. looks right.
"all i can really do , is stay out of my own way and let the will of heaven be done"
So when Flashing a Kernel do I have to wipe my phone completely first then re-install my rom?
nope. just flash on top. although some people do wipe cache and dalvik after , but i dont think even that is necessary.

Sending my rooted and xposed phone back to verizon.

What would be the best way to reset this thing to be ready to send back? Would I need to KDZ it or just use the superuser root removal process? Thanks in advance.
I think you to KDZ to remove traces of root.

[SamSung Note 4 - SM-N910A] HardBrick - QHSUSB_BULK help

OEM battery was replaced with new batteries bought off amazon. After the new update, suddenly it started randomly rebooting on me. and next thing it knew, if would show me a Samsung Logo screen and be stuck on it.
I saw some suggestion and I did the remove battery and held the power button and down vol. it reboots.. and every it auto restart and goes to the downloading screen... i just remove the batter and restart the process.
I accidentally on my reboot select the boot from bootloader, and from there it Hardbrick. It no longer turns on, as good as dead, but when I plugged into the PC... I hear 3 beeps... and QHSUSB_BULK driver not found.
I bought a jig, and see if it would help me go into the Bootup Mode, but it was still unresponsive
I was hoping if anyone is able to offer me some guidance
we are able to unbrick it
......if we had someone to help use with the development by just spending the extra few minutes on helping us
What kind of help do you need?
I saw post about Jtag service saying that they cab fix it, should I give them a try?
I have a device that did the same exact thing. Started acted funny, then just hardbricked on a battery pull. Same error message on computer when plugged in, despite locating correct drivers, etc. I am really upset because I've lost a lot of pictures and videos of my little girl. I wrote to a jtag repair person & they felt jtag would not help. And of course I've done all the usual stuff, new battery, all the button combos, etc. It's deader that a door nail, no charging light, vibrations, nothing. I've not dropped it, gotten it wet, nothing.....it just died. And a few few days short of my upgrade, too! Go figure. Anyhow, if ANYONE can PLEASE offer any help, that would be awesome. Even if just as much for me to recover my pics from the emc.

we all know about JTAG
but we want a person who owns an AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4 who is still in Android Lollipop
Because if we found a person on it
we can create an unbrick image to boot it
