[Q] My phone is now hard bricked. Can anyone help? - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

I have the ATT Galaxy S3 SGH-i747. Before I flashed this ROM I was running 4.4.4 from the Cyanogenmod stable release and it worked perfect. I had that with a 3.4 Kernel. Now flashing this rom and going through all the prompts in CWM the phone went black upon restart and has stayed that way ever since. Is there anything I can do?
The rom that screwed me:

that ROM would have worked perfect if you had the i9300/i9305. did you try the battery pull method to get back to recovery? did you do the button combo to try to get back to recovery? when you hook up to charger , do you get a red led and that only ? do you know your current bootloader/modem version ?
heres a link to de-brick thread.

@mrrocketdog is correct in that you need to try the de-brick images. If that doesn't work, you'll have to have it repaired via jtag.
Flashing an i9300 (international s3) onto a North American (i747/i747m) is guaranteed to brick the phone.

A paperweight? Wierd incident

Was at my buddys and slept over so i didnt have a charger. phone died.
details I had ummm aokp rom i think? it was a cw10 based rom. So i have roms on my phone that i download and there all from cwm. She was stable. Phone died tried to charge it nothing. Reboots logo repeat. Why would it just brick from dying? anyways i know how to flash a phone i know that you should read what rom is compatible for the phone aka i look for the tmobile one or t999. I can get into recovery and try to flash other roms and it works. but does not boot it just keeps rebooting. I tried using odin to flash a stock rom. But i get Unsupport dev_type when the rom is a official one? Every time i try to do a factory wipe it just boots and gets stuck. So im just wondering wtf lmao? any ideas i know its bricked the way i read the other forums but wtf lol how? I didnt flash **** it died ran out of juice and boom bricked?
If you can get into recovery it is most likely fixable (I suspect a kernel issue). What is the model number of your phone? Because there is more than one TMo model.
What version of Odin? What driver version, and where did you find the official firmware? Link please.

Odin back to 4.2 (Not 4.3 becuase of knox stuff). Use this thread for help: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2258628&highlight=stock
Then flash your rom back. Or flash a specific 4.4 rom do not try to OTA.

[Q] Flashed Kernel phone wont turn on.

Hello,
I have a GT-N7105 (Australian Version) and tonight i flashed this kernel (N7105 MK5 kernel) the phone worked fine for a little while and then turned off and now wont go past the boot screen.
My phone was running 4.1.2 i think maybe the kernel wasnt compatible (stupid thing to do i know)
Can anyone help me to get the phone working again if it is at all possible, im currently dling the stock rom from samsung and will try to flash with ODIN.
But im not sure what to do i dont even know where to find the original kernel for my phone.
Thanks
I've never heard of a wrong kernel booting fine, then gradually stop working...
Stock rom through odin (factory reset in recovery first) will fix most issues, in particular it will replace rom and kernel.
factory reset first, then in samfirmware find your model and install it by odin and fix all

It's very rare that a rooted, ROM'd and kernel'd phone will gradually stop working because of that customization.
I've long remembered one post somewhere here that as long as the phone switches on and powers up (regardless of boot loops, black screens or otherwise) As long as you can get to Download mode, you'll find a way to get through.
As everyone else said, flash the stock ROM (making sure you got the right one for your country or the modem might be rendered useless) and fingers crossed you'll be on the pathway to stability. Good luck!

Help! My phone is bricked!

Ok so I have a samsung galaxy s3 att and I have been rooted for the past month or so, no issues. Then, I decide to install a custom rom so I get a stable cm11 and attempt to flash it and it says my cwm version is too low so the reboot my phone so I can update it. The phone starts to boot and gets stuck on the att globe logo with the blue light pulsing. I shut off the phone, pull out the battery and try again, still nothing. I start getting scared so I restore the nandroid backup I made right before this custom rom incident and boot it, still gets stuck at the same place. I really need my phone fixed so can someone help me please??
I was talking to @sd_shadow on another forum earlier and was wondering if he could help me?

Don't panic
Grab the latest version of philz touch recovery https://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/d2lte/
The zips are made to be flashed from a recovery like cwm. Install it using cwm, reboot into recovery and philz should come up. You should be able to proceed with wiping and installing your custom rom at this point.
If the zip doesn't work out for some reason, you could also use Odin to flash a .tar.md5 from that link to update your recovery.

Samsung Galaxy S3 i747 AT&T Roms

My Galaxy S3 i747 wont get passed the AT&T Logo,
if I hold the volume up while booting I can get to Odin
if I hold the volume down I can get to ClockworkMod recovery v6.0.4.7
I have been looking for a rom that I can use to reset the phone, I found 1 that loaded with CWM, but the phone still had the same problem.
so I am thinking maybe resetting it back to factory would be best at this point?
or what ever I can do to get it working again?
Looking for a rom that will work, and if its for Oden, please also provide the correct version number for Odin for PC
Thanks so much
Original Provider was AT&T USA
