You're not getting the point of this guys question my friend. He CANT use the regular method, his computer won't recognize his phone.
But to answer your question, have you tried a different cable? A lot of people are only able to get their computer to recognize their phone with the stock Samsung cable. Also make sure you have the drivers installed on your computer. You can find those in the how to root thread in the dev section.

The same recognition problem happened to me when I got some water into the USB connector after attempting to apply a wet-apply screen protector. The port would only allow charging for 2 days, and a computer would recognize it on occasion for the rest of the week.
In other words, try again later. It might fix itself with time.
Hi guys I flashed this rom from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1993996
the guy posted a link to facebook with download links in there
eventually after I flashed the ROM I saw that he named the file for my phone:
Liquid JB v2.0 RC8 (D2TMO) but I flashed this one: Liquid JB v2.0 RC8 (D2ATT)
which is probably the AT&T version, first of all I wanna say to this DEV - thank you very much for not making this clear to everybody that you have different roms for 20 different phones on one spot, now my phone is bricked thanks to you, yea yea yea you flashing is your own responsibility but how you could not make this thing clear just take a look at his thread it doesn't say nowhere that the right rom for me is somewhere down there, I assumed that the link on the top is the newest for my phone.
My phone is dead now, it doesn't wanna turn on, it doesn't wanna go into download mode, it doesn't wanna go into recovery, please help.
Thank you in advice!

Hey buddy,
I don't wanna be the bearer of bad news, however, it looks like you may have bricked your phone by flashing two roms made for other phones...
Liquid JB v2.0 RC8 (HERCULES)*
SIZE: 93 MB
MD5: 467aa4c3894e444e649fd18e7f89b6ef
MAINDL: http://bit.ly/SPAkAc
This is the one that you should have flashed. The "codename" for our phone is Hercules, you picked two roms for phones codenamed D2TMO and D2ATT (Droid 2, maybe)
I'm sorry but this is completely your fault, not the devs. About 9 links down lies a big fat HERCULES in plain text.
Call T-Mobile, get a warranty exchange, and watch this video:

So you just download the first link you saw when there were clearly loads of them? What kind of logic is that??? Sorry, but people like you shouldn't be rooting and flashing. I would have stopped and made a post in the original inquiring about which was the right download. Your phone is BRICKED. There's nothing you can do except get a warranty exchange from T-Mobile. It's a painless $5 fee and you'll get your new handset next day. Hope this was a lesson learned. READ READ READ. And when in doubt if you can't find your answer by reading, ASK.

Probably. But JTAG repair services are probably anywhere from $50 - $100 and a TMO warranty replacement is $25 though they will reimburse if you call and complain.
FYI... the D2TMO is the Galaxy S III for Tmobile.
I have been following the liquid jelly bean thread and I was amazed as to how many people bricked their phones by not knowing their devices code name..(Hercules) there is no difference between how the downloads are displayed and labeled in the Liquid jelly download page vs any other aosp based rom download page dont blame the developer or the OP ..just learn from it and move on
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Yeah honestly I don't see why your so upset with the Dev, are you paying him money for the rom? Not paying attention to what your flashing IS your fault not his. The fact that you choose the first link download it, then flash means you either don't read or don't pay enough attention to what your doing.
Sorry you brick your phone hope you get it resolve but seriously learn from it and stop blaming other people for your mistakes.

If you look in the ROM thread you will see that other have posted links to places to have phone repaird , some did warranty.
guys please stop, the fact that so many people bricked their devices from this single thread should'a say something right? I mean come on, i'm not crying to anybody I moved on and I'm trying to fix it, it's just that if this thing happens to you tomorrow I doubt that you would support the dev so much.

Actually, no. The vast majority of people on XDA manage to download and flash the correct ROM's for their phones on a daily, for some hourly, basis. These people take the time to understand not only the process involved but also the consequences. You say there were many links and it was not clear which was correct for your phone? Well, why did you not ask? There is nothing wrong with taking whatever steps necessary to protect your $500 device. If you are unsure, ask. If you, for whatever reason, are afraid to ask, don't flash.
This mentality of not taking responsibility for one's own actions has permeated so much through society it should be labeled a virus. Next time, do the research that so many others do every day, ask the questions you need to ask and you'll avoid posts like the ones in this thread as well as the frustration of a damaged device.
Good luck to you.
I did the same thing for this rom. Bricked it solid. I don't blame the dev, I blame myself. After flashing so many times, I got careless. Luckily Walmart took it back after 30 days.

What's this? An individual taking responsibility and admitting oversight without casting around for someone to place the blame on?
OP could learn from you, brother.
T989, AOKP JB MS1 (KK nightly)
I don't mean to offend you or anything but you clearly downloaded a file and flashed it when it has ATT in its file name. The file is obviously for a AT&T phone and considering that you are rooted and got CWM installed on your phone you must atleast know something about your device. You should of learned that its called the "hercules" and that flashing something else would brick it. Most roms have hercules or the phone's name in the file name and that is a clear tell on how to fix it.
Lucky for you I did the same mistake except I downloaded the Galaxy S2 rom from CyanogenMod site and flashed it on my hercules (thinking all galaxys2's were the same) and then it got hard bricked. (My first attempt ever to install a rom yes I fail) but it was under the 20 day t-mobile exchange warranty and I got a brand new (not refurbished from the 1 year warranty) overnighted to me for free of charge. Your best bet would be to use the 20 day exchange if its new and the refurbished replacement if it isnt (normally cost 20$ for restocking fee, etc.) but thats good to get a phone back.
Okay, I have seen many post on hard brick and also seen the many suggestions. Tried all but it seems that I just have to bite the bullet and turn it in to either Sprint or Samsung. I loaded a international rootbox mod and hard bricked my phone. It recognize by my pc by the usb connection and assigning a com port. It dose not load the flash drives though. Odin dose not recognize the usb connection. I tried qubking777 methods(which seem to be used for only soft bricking), tried to put it every mode possible, and even removed the sd/battery then connect to usb. It gets a red led light for about a couple minutes but nothing in trying to flash via Odin. If anyone has anything new that I can try without jig/Jtag would be helpful. I have been claim to be a noobie at this from friend at work and know that the pc world is different from the smartphone world but some of the concepts are the same. That if you think the same way as I do. So please no crazy remarks that is any demeaning ways. I do have some experience with root and mods when I did this HTC EVO original.
Thanks
Its done the only way to fix is JTAG if you don't want to go through Samsung or sprint which would be insurance fraud anyway

I've seen people report that they work. Never tried it myself, but thats just my 2 cents
@OP............have you read the numerous stickies, questions, threads, posts about what to flash and what not to flash? kennyglass123 and numerous others have made sticky threads about how to get started, what to do and not do after you root
Cmon dude, even though they may have the same name doesnt mean that software-wise theyre the same
I have an EVO 4G and an EVO shift 4G, but i dont go flashing roms between the two just because theyre similar
When you're doing this kind of system level, you need to know what you're getting yourself into, in the end you couldve just asked in the thread if it works for the sprint s3 or <insert carrier here> s3, and you wouldve gotten a "no"

The mentioning of me doing things to the EVO and talking about the same thing was saying that I am reading and not jumping into stuff i do not know about when working with the S3. Yes they have different ways of rooting and flashing what not but the technology and concepts are the same. The only thing have jumped into over my head was that I grabbed the international load of rootbox mod because there was no clear indication what mod was what from their website. Once I loaded that and reboot, now I am a bricked. I am just trying to see if there anything that I haven't tried yet. It seems that I have indications that the phone has not gone to far and I can do something. Maybe something that works the with bootloader to get it to a point to clear and flash a restore..
The technology is not the same either
The international version is GSM while the sprint variant is cdma, the international version is quadcore while the sprint one is not
Software wise, the partitions line up, but incorrectly
The boot partition on the sprint variant lines up with the misc partition on the international, and a couple other partitions line up incorrectly as well

Phones completely done dude. You can't do anything to recover it without getting it jtagged. You have no boot loader the partition for the kernel on the international S3 is the partition where our boot loader is stored so when you flashed that international rom it wiped your boot loader and wiped other important partitions

Thank you for pointing this out. The OP also gets defensive when it's pointed out. He uses all the wrong stuff but when he breaks it he finds the right section to seek help. :banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead:
he claims he is reading and not jumping into things, I guess he skipped over the word INTERNATIONAL as opposed to the one on this section SPRINT.
OP and as you wrote "please no crazy remarks" this and the others are not crazy it's just amazing how you did not find the right section to begin with but had no problem finding it now that you messed it up?

So you guys want defensively. You getting it. Believe it or not, technology is blending together. I have background in IT field to see the history of it all for almost the last 20 yrs. Yes different manfactor and carriers define these phones but that is the only thing that seperate these from computer is the phone portion. Yes I have been following this fourm for a while which lead me to the rootbox mod page in the first place and known where to paste certain threads. I don't even know why I thought there was some very intelligent people on here that are nothing but very disrespecting when someone is looking for just the slightest information. If any one wants a extra check by there chuck wagon meter, please point me in the right direction. Can't believe that I posted any thing here after seeing this stuff in other post. THANKS EVERYONE!
Johnboy you have to understand we get three or four of these every week from people who do not read and just flash away. They find a rom on the international thread and flash it. Voilà 600 dollar paperweight. Then they do fraud and claim hey don't know why their device doesn't work. Who pays all of us with the continued rise in cost on our device.
It's funny though how every single one of them find their way to the right place and forum when they mess-up their phone. Amazingly!
This is the best place and forum to find the right information about your device. Swallow up a little pride own up to that you made a bone head move, and move on and stick around. You will find lots of support.

It is determination to find a solution and help find a end this repeated cycle for everyone. Seeing other threads the phone dose respond to get a port assignment and is requesting for a driver install. So that is some of good sign.

I'm going to save some time and update your status for you. As you'd see this imformation if you searched...
The drivers its requesting is the "QHSUSB_DLOAD" driver. Its basically a piece of hardware waiting for firmware to be loaded at a factory level. You will not talk to it with any software you currently own, hence the jtag requirement. Spent months hoping to do the same. You won't I promise. If I'm not mistaken even Samsung doesn't fix it in the state its in. I believe they send it to qualcomm, could be mistaken there tho so don't quote me on that. And props to edfunkycold for telling it like it is. Needs to be said and youll probably recieve an infraction now for not holding his hand and telling him it will be okay. Telling people the truth tends to get you in trouble on here.
I know that I am going to get plenty of flack for this but after a week in working this issue. I had given up and turn it in for new. Even after building a jig that did not do anything at all. I know the jig works because it sent the new phone into download mode immediately but it did not reset the flash counter. Sorry for not finding a fix or even had to turn my phone in. In my field it takes breaking something to make sure you never do it again. So now I know not do flash anything for the GS3 I9300 for the the Sprint model.

Well, I was just another idiot to root my phone without knowing what I was doing. I know, you guys get a million of these a day from some idiot who decided "Hey, rooting should be fun". The rooting process was rather simple and I accomplished it quite easily. Well, when I went to flash my rom my phone restarted during the process and has been blank ever since. I lost I am not able to enter into download mode or recovery mode-- the only sign of life that I have had from my phone is a red light when it is plugged in via usb without the battery.
When I connect my phone via usb my computer chimes as though the phone is connected, but picks it up as: Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008
Odin does seem to pick it up but either gets stuck in setup connection when I have attempted to flash my stock rom, or gives me an error saying that it can't open the serial port.
When I attempt to go into download mode while connected via usb the computer also makes a connect and disconnect noise (I do realize that I should be attempting download mode before connecting to my usb, it was just one of the many things that I have tried)
I have read over various forums, found numerous possible outcomes, and I am just about at my wits end. I comprehend that my phone is probably a goner and that jtag may be my only option. Writing here was my very last resort, but I just don't see any other option.
I have a at&t Samsung Galaxy S3 SGH-i474 which originally was running android 4.1.2.
Odin 1.85 seems to be the only version that works properly for me.
Any information would be fantastic & I don't mind the harsh criticism. I take full responsibility for my stupidity, but I have learned quite a bit along the way...
Thanks a lot-

Jig doesn't do a damn thing :crying: I ordered an older HTC inspire off of ebay to use for the time being... but I think the little voice in the back of my head that said "You need to upgrade to the s4" must have had something to do with bricking my phone. I don't even know if I want to go through the hassle of jtaging... I am slightly wondering if AT&T would take it due to the fact that it's only a few months old.
They might, but at this point, its either a new phone, or JTAG I'm sorry! But...on the bright side...my old phone was the HTC inspire! Its got sense 5, And 4.3 ROMs! I loved that damn phone...till I dropped it while on the charger, and the USB port broke but you could even stick with that for a while if you had to. The ONLY downside to that phone is the battery. So, when you get the phone, head on over to the "HTC DESIRE HD" forums and try it out. ( all desire HD ROMs are 120% comparable with inspire 4g...no dev in inspire 4g forums)

Head over to the Sprint S3 forums here and there is actually a boot image they have linked throughout the pages so it can at least get into download mode. Fairly easy process it seems like, I am currently bricked myself but I have the US Cellular variant S3 but no one has the boot image I need to write to my sd card via Ubuntu. They have the boot images for T-Mobile, Sprint and I am quite sure ATT as well. Good luck!

Thanks so much for all of the awesome information! I am completely lost without my phone. I am a writer, and I get all of my notifications and emails via my phone and I feel like I've been stuck to my CPU lately. Hopefully the inspire will work out of me for the time being. I am going to have to get used to the fact that the phone only has a rear face camera as well. My little guy loves to take his own picture so he'll have to adjust. Appreciate the help!

You don't by any chance have a link to the boot image you're talking about do you? I've searched but I can't seem to find it. I would reeeallly appreciate it

I have a question for you that maybe you'll have an answer to and maybe you won't. I did receive my HTC so everything with my galaxy now is basically just a test, but I do miss the phone! Alright, so I downloaded qpst and when I plug my phone in via usb it shows up as "Phone In Download Mode". I thought this was odd, and was wondering if maybe it is stuck in download mode? If you don't have any ideas, that's completely fine. But if you do, please share them with me. My goal is become proficient and I know I will achieve it either way Thanks so much...

Try to use Odin, to flash the stock ROM. Some people have reported black download modes.

This is the debrick image used to write to the micro sd card. Again, you may want to read through the forum to fully understand the process. Here's the link to the devrick image, it is for the Sprint Galaxy 3.

Ah yeah, but I have AT&T. I do appreciate it though!

You should know... that if I could possibly kiss you and ask you to marry me on the spot... I would! I followed the steps, found my boot image via google, and got my phone back in action! I seriously screamed when I saw the charge icon appear after I plugged my phone in. If you can find your image you should!
If this is in the wrong place for posting, please feel free to let me know.
A few months ago I tried to root and put a ROM onto my Galaxy S2 but I suppose something must have gone wrong. I'm not used to rooting, especially since the phone I had before this one was an Evo and much easier to root. Regardless, my phone is a Virgin Mobile phone, but I was assured that the Sprint ROM I am currently running would work on my phone. I flashed it and it booted fine and has actually worked pretty well ever since.
My only problem is that when using a root checker, I notice my phone shows up as unrooted. I have no idea where I should go from here. If I should treat it as a truly unrooted phone and try to re-do everything, or try to flash a different ROM made specifically for my phone. I'd rather not take a chance on bricking my phone and thought I would ask for some opinions and hopefully get guided in the right direction.
Thanks in advance for any help, and sorry if anything I typed here is unclear. It's a pretty weird thing to try and explain.
(I have actually made a similar thread back in March, but got no responses. Not sure if it's still okay for me to go ahead and make a new thread for this.)
Before we do anything; sticker on phone chassis under the battery - what model ?

I apologize that it took me this long to reply, I have a hectic work schedule. Thanks for responding.
The model number listed is SPH-D710.
No probs. I had an inkling you might be in the wrong forum hence I asked for confirmation of which S2 variant you have. US variants have their own fora, so your thread belongs here, you're more likely to get accurate/specific help in the right place.
I've asked mods to move your thread, sit tight until they do.

I must have completely skipped over it, thanks. Hopefully someone there can help. I'm hoping to sell this phone soon and don't want it to give the new owner issues.

Well, darn. I'll still check back on this thread but so far I'm still pretty lost, even after numerous searches online.
