So in a bout of epic boredom, I fished my Sprint Galaxy SII (sph-d710) out of a drawer, and decided I'd try to update it. It's currently running:
Touched by an S4 rom
Android 4.1.2
GB27 Agat recovery
I'd like to install an aosp rom or Cyanogen but every time I attempt to flash via Agat, I get error code 7.
Same with CWM 5. Where should I start with trying to get an AOSP rom on this device?

ok, have I been bit by the brick bug? I have a E4GT that I've had rooted and Rommed for a while, I had it in a drawer with a full charge, I pulled it out last night to mess with it but its dead, won't boot and won't charge, just flashes the battery image over and over, try booting to recovery or download, no cwm, says battery low, can't download, I changed nothing before I put it in the drawer and I put it there with a full charge, I had noticed a week or two before that it was randomly powering down or rabdomly rebooting. I'm not new but I've never gad thus happen, I know the gs2 has a brickbug, is this my problem? I've unbricked devices so can I fix this if its the bug? I can charge my battery by some means if its possible to get this working again but do I odin stack tar or USB jig? Any other methods? is it brickbug? Can brickbug be fixed?

First thing I'd check is if your battery is bloated. If it is, replace it.
Something similar occasionally happens to me, but it's the power button that causes it... Even randomly reboots from recovery or download mode sometimes. It's as if I'm permanently holding down the power button. Usually a few good hard finger-flicks to the button jars it loose... I think it sticks sometimes from moisture, debris, etc.
I kinda noticed the sticky button, I wondered if its the battery, I checked it before I posted, therez no swelling but it was definitely very warm, I even took the cover off and pulled the whole assembly out to check the button I put it on charge without being in the cover, just the board and the battery in case it was the button, battery was warm when I checked after that so you're probably right, it just didn't make sense because it was working fine when I powered it down and put it away, thought it was strange it wouldn't do anything when I got it out, ill get a battery and see what happens, thanks.

If the power button is indeed stuck, then it's very possible it booted/rebooted in your drawer until it died.
Hope you get it going... Good luck [emoji106]

just to update, I let the battery cool for a while then tried to charge again, its taking charge this time, I'm gonna see if it will boot just to verify if the phone itself is in working order but I'm still getting a battery. Whew....close one.
I only came here to ask because I've read a lot if posts during the time I was working on that phone about random bricks, same situation, they put it in a drawer just fine and wouldn't do anything the next time they got it out

ok, it charged and when it got to a certain point it booted on its own, I can confirm that the button isn't stuck so why did it power on by itself? If it were the button it would repeatedly boot wouldn't it?

In all honesty, do as others have been told. Remove the battery. Let the phone sit for 10-30 minutes. Put battery back in. Make sure you're holding the '1' key during the entire time you're holding the 'Power' button (and before).
If that doesn't work, repeat the above, but leave the battery out and plug the phone into the wall/computer perhaps just in case the battery is dead.
Also, make sure you shout "Praise Odin!" three times before you do all that. The Android voice recognition is really good.

bricked epic 4g
Did the battery/sdcard pull work?
I bricked my Epic 4G Galaxy S installing the EL13 firmware. I had it rooted with CWM 5.0.2.7 (or whatever) with CleanGB 1.03 and the Samurai kernal (think it's 1.06, whichever is the latest). I was flashing it through Odin3 and it abruptly aborted and failed the transfer. I'm thinking it may have been a bad USB cable. I pulled the battery since it didn't reboot or take any button commands.

pulling sd card and battery worked for me. I have trouble w/ getting errors on Odin from time to time, altough it could be the usb cord (esp if it's Sammy's "cheap" usb cord), but I've found that when i close Odin and "re-load" the .tar and necessary .pit files, everything was peachy smooth.
Full on brick
So odin + adhd = epic FAIL. I have used odin many times, and have run several roms. While i was pushing an eco5 it got unplug at the top of the transfer and now is a total brick no power, no how, no way. Who is Adam and does he want this phone? I already ordered a new one. Tried the little hole reset, usb power, battery. Nothing its a real brick
the battery was almost dead last night and i plugged it in before i went to bed, when i woke up phone would not respond had to pull the battery to get it to come back on, only thing i did different was use my old blackberry charger and set an alarm , any ideas?
Is this stock rom? Rooted? Are you running Setcpu? Could be sleep of death in SetCpu if you didn't set it right.
its completely stock still,not rooted .the battery didnt fully charge also when it happened.....no set cpu

What are the settings for sleep of death? I am running SetCPU and on two occasions I haven't been able to turn the phone back on. Had to do a battery pull.
Do you have a screen off profile? Sometimes if you set the clock too low during screen off it will cause it to just go into a "sleep of death" at least I've had it happen once or twice before I fixed it.

It sucks because my screen ain't messed up like a lot of folks are saying and yes I did the test.

after I flashed EB, it went a full day without a reboot, then they started again.
Still reboots randomly threw the day. Went back to stock, no difference. Samsung support knows nothing, T-Mobile is more clueless. Can't return to the store anymore (past 14 days) so I guess I need to do a exchange threw T-Mobile. (at least its prob too soon for a refurb)
had the same issue, believe you posted in the thread i made about it, from talking to reps at tmo and a little research this seems to be a problem with the phone its self, getting my replacement tomorrow and will run it stock for awhile to see, and trust me when i had this issue with the first one i tried everything (root, no root, different roms, etc etc)

Yup, same w/ the root, no root, different roms... I got my replacement yesterday, so far no reboots at all. Keeping my fingers crossed it stays that way, holding onto my original for a few more days.
Mine does this about 10 times a day. I pull it from my pocket after not using it for a while and find that it is powered down. I then have to power it on by holding the power button. I have no idea what could be causing this. I know two other people that have the nexus and haven't had a single random power down or reboot. I have factory reset it three times in hopes of fixing the issue. Do I maybe have a defective device?
I had a few of these when on the stock Rom. After rooting and switching to rootzboat Rom I've had no more random reboots.
No issues at all and im happy about that. When got my droid incredible at launch it would reboot ask the time due to having issues connecting to cell towers.

I'd say your device is fine. If you're gonna stay stock just wait for a fix maybe with an upcoming update, or just root now and take care of the issue. Once I rooted my phone performs 100 times better in every way, plus no more reboots. Look around they have some great Roms out already. I'm running a 4.0.3 and its fantastic!

Cool, I'll hold off til the next update from Google and if it hasn't resolved the issue I'll flash a custom rom.
Or is it possible to have a bad flash of the stock rom? I wonder if it would help to reflash it.
I definately think this is a problem. My nexus has been completely fine for a week and just starting yesterday it freezes and restarts constantly. It seems like it does it everytime there is more than one thing happening at the same time.
Like a text message rolling in at the same time Im trying to play a youtube video. Or hitting the volume rocker when I get a text...
It is absolutely crazy tbh - like I said phone has been completely fine.. and now its getting worse by the hour.
I am completely stock - no way im waiting for an update because there is no way my unit is not defective.
---------- Post added at 07:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:48 PM ----------
Yeah, so I think my issue is different than OP's.
I have no idea what could have happened to make it this bad.
I decided to try a factory reset and now I cant even get through the activation without it freezing and rebooting... lol - so the phone at this point is completely useless - cant use it at all.
i have a gsm galaxy nexus which has been playing up since the last 2 days . random reboots and now its gone into a bootloop . the phone wont go beyond the google splash screen.
I think it randomly shut off when you're multitasking? I had it happen twice but can't quite figure out the cause.
I think I may have figured out whats going on with mine. It looks like the battery is a little loose inside the cover and if it moves too much it loses contact and the phone powers off. I tested this by dropping the phone from one hand into the other. I kind of threw it down at my other hand and when it hit it powered off. It doesn't power off every time but it powered down maybe 3 out of 20 tries. That makes me think that may be the issue.
Anyone that wants to try it out let me know your results. I may just have a defective device.
So here's my story...
I hated the new ICS official update that sprint rolled out because of my diminishing battery life. So i decided to finally root the phone and install some roms. Everything went well for the past week but now my phone screen flickers and then my phone shuts off when i still have around 80% battery life left. I try to turn it back on and it loads up the boot screen but sometimes it fully loads the phone and sometimes it doesn't. When it does load ... my battery life is chopped to like 20% or maybe 5%. I calibrated my battery after the flash like someone told me to do but it still didn't work. I thought it was the rom i was using but I flashed 3 different roms and I still have the same problem.
I'm wondering if it's something wrong with my battery or my power on my phone? When the phone is charging it doesn't flicker and shut down on me.
Did anybody else have this problem? Is this considered a SOD? Wondering if I should get a new battery and see if it works. Also... is your battery flat? Mine seems to be a curved a bit in the middle back and front and i don't remember it being like that.
THANKS FOR THE HELP PEOPLE!!!! I really need it

Rom version Blazer FF18

I am trying to underclock the phone now and see if it solves any problems till I get a new battery. Realized that while the phone is plugged in... it doesn't flicker and shut down on me. So maybe if i lower the power consumption, it'll work. But it's just an idea I came up with.

Your experiencing a condition that's clearly battery related, while phone is plugged in it clearly shows that the problem is the battery. Making changes and undervolting may just complicate things, I would wait for a new battery before going any further.
You need a proven rom to start with, ask around and see what works for others and give yourself a fresh start. I would recommend going back to stock gingerbread el29,and trying it out for a week or so, then go from there.

Will do. Just ordered a battery. Hopefully it is a battery issue because I am not due for an upgrade yet. Thanks a lot for your advice!
It's the battery, I have the same issues right now and if I use a different battery they instantly disappear.
And you're right about lowering the power consumption, for me it only happened with 4G enabled together with the capacitive LEDs. Disabling one or the other made it go away.

After installing FoxHound ROM on Galaxy S3 i747, and it is absolutely dead now. Not even powers up. Please help. Cannot get to recovery or download either. Just black screen, no signs of life whatsoever.

Can you provide a link to the ROM?
That's an i9300 ROM.

That's what I thought. Sounds like a hard brick if you can't get to recovery or download mode. Search out mobiletechvideos they offer j-tag services and I have seen them recommended on here often.
The OP made a mistake and now needs help to fix it.

I heard you can pull battery and then attempt to get into download mode from there from a thread long ago.

Few days ago I just started installing ROMs for the first time on my rooted AT&T S3. Starting with CM10, then JellyBam, and so forth testing/trying out one at a time. I was clearing dalvik and wiping cache before and after installing each ROM. Each ROM worked fine until I finally reached the fourth or fifth ROM called Foxhound and that's when my phone when to crap. I went through the install and after it rebooted my screen went blank and never came back on. Unable to get into CWM or Download Mode, I did battery pull and also plugged via USB into my PC it still won't boot. I read that the USB jig works on the Galaxy S3, already ordered and waiting for it to come in. If that doesn't work then I'm gonna have to send it in for JTAG repair. I already read off another site that someone encountered the same issue and the USB jig didn't work (this is after I already ordered it) so I'm crossing my fingers.
And this is all because of Samsung Allshare Play isn't compatible with CM10 because it works off touchwiz. So I was looking for a touchwiz based ROM and heard about Foxhound. Once I get my phone back up I'm going to try Jedi Invasion ROM as I heard some good reviews.

Foxhound is for the i9300 as stated above so JTAG is probably your only option! In the future double check to make sure the ROM you are flashing is for your device!

Lmao I think I might understand. Sometimes even though the screen is black you can still do the button combo for download mode and it'll actually go into it even though you can't see that it went into download mode. Then plug in usb and hopefully Odin will recognize that you're in download mode and you'll be able to flash stock rom lol

Correct me if I'm wrong, after the combo press to get into download mode, don't you have to press either Vol Up or Vol Dn to continue into download mode? If so which one?

*Update*
I received the USB Jig and it did not work. Will be sending it in for JTAG repair in a few days. I have also been thinking about taking the phone back to the AT&T store and give them a bs story about it just stop working all of a sudden and get it replaced since I'm still under the 1yr warranty. But then again I hate refurbished replacements so I'll might as well send it in for repair.............???

Search around on here for warranty replacements. I've read a few threads where people have hard bricked and returned to AT&T for warranty replacements. One thing to keep in mind tho, if they were to look into and see that it was because you were modifying your device, after a few weeks you would have a fat 600$ charge on your bill.. I'm not saying its out of the question. Just read a lot and see what other peoples results were first!

Yeah, not to make the OP feel bad ( I feel your pain, really) but this should be a warning to all new flashers (myself included).
The International uses a quad core processor, and the AT&T uses a dual core. Not even close to being the same hardware and flashing the wrong rom is an invitation for disaster. This is not the first instance of this I have read either.
I know there is a tendency to say peeps need to watch what they're doing, but a big warning label would be nice, since the S3 comes in 2 hardware flavors.
I hope you get this worked out with a jig. I have read you can rig one up yourself if you're handy, but I have not seen the instructions to do so.
If you can get back in, I can personally verify that this rom flashes back to stock unrooted. Be sure to clear your cache too.

a big warning label (bigger than what they already post) is not necessary, nor is it the devs responsibility to baby-proof everything. if you find yourself hunting around the internet on 12 different sites, looking for rooting guides and roms for the S3, you're wrong. stick to one place, like xda. know your model number, make sure you're in the right forum, read over the kernel/rom page to ensure you're flashing the files meant for your device.
a "big warning label" would only be encouraging the large amount of spoon-feeding that so many (noobs and lazy peeps) on this forum already expect and somebody would still flash the wrong file like an idiot.
cheers

I see you joined back in November. How'd you get so wise so fast?
No, I agree that it not the devs responsibility to make sure no one makes a mistake, still, for a phone that comes with 2 different mainboards, it might be a courtesy, just in case the user has misplaced one of the half dozen or so tabs he/she has open in their browser after power surfing for an hour. The OP made a mistake. It happens. Calling him (or me) an idiot or lazy, is neither helpful, or polite.
cheers right back atcha!
