Unfortunately if the device has absolutely no power at all, the device is considered a "hard" brick. The only ways to recover from a hard brick is using a JIG (possible solution) or a JTAG. JTAG cannot be used by an inexperienced tech and they are expensive to purchase. There are a number of sites that you can send your phone to that will complete the JTAG resurrection for you for around 80.00 USD.
I hard bricked my phone once while flashing CWM and was lucky enough it was within 30 days of purchase. I acted like I didn't know what happened when I got to the AT&T store and they gladly replaced it for me. You can try your luck but no guarantees. Sorry about your luck =(
A note going forward: I was only able to find a i9300 download for foxhound. You are currently in the i747/i747m forum... If you downloaded the i9300 version of Foxhound onto your device (which is for international phones) this is why your phone is no longer functioning.
You cannot flash i9300 ROMs onto USA device variants.

^^^ This is exactly right. It is a confusing point for many too, especially coming from a GS2 where compatibility was a lot better.

Good point. I probably should have looked into fox hound before I installed it.
I'm on Bell in Canada so I run a i747m.
I guess it's my own fault in the end.
I'll see if I can take it over to the Bell store and see what I can do, otherwise I guess I'll have to send it in to get it unbricked.
Thanks for the help guys.

Let us know what happens.

SGH-I747 Bricked to hell and Back again!!

SOooO I'm just some tinkering nut that likes to check out all of the roms out there for my devices. Flashing is worse than crack for me. I have bricked de-bricked and re-bricked this poor little galaxy and updated to 4.3 and downgraded back to 4.0 all to make it look like it just came out of the box again. nice clean bootloader. A factory rom. 0 flash count which is simply nutz since this thing should be a stripper I have flashed it with so many Roms and Mods. I have pretty much every file you can think of for this device on my computer and I am more than happy to share my information and tips with the community here at xda.
If you think you need some assistance and don't want to spend 3days hopped up on pizza and mt.dew searching every inch of the forums looking for answers feel free to ask me and I can try my best to help out.
I have almost every custom Rom out for this device.
I have Custom Kernels from chapters 4.0.3 - 4.1.1 - 4.3 - 4.4
I have Debrick Images from the first three chapters will make one for 4.4 when I see a stable Rom
I have Stock Rom Files
I have updated Stock Rom Files.
I have updated rooted no knox Files
I have a crap load of continuous hours of searching breaking and Fixing this poor little thing.
I would have made a Tutorial page but it looks like there are plenty on the forums. I KNOW I've read them all:silly:
so I would rather put my knowledge to use in letting you simply ask me a question and I will reply as quickly as possible.
I know its going to sound nubcake. Buuut.... this is my daily device and I know how frustrating it can be when you have made one of them fatal mistakes and your device goes black or won't flash your new custom rom you want to test out.
Shoot some questions my way and see if I can't help you out quicker than you searching the 4 corners of the net.

If I had to take a wild guess and you still have access to cwm or twrp flash the stock rom and you should be good.

If you go from the 4.3 bootloader to a previous one, you will brick your device via an e-fuse. You shouldn't need to revert to an older bootloader anyway unless for a specific rom. If that is the case, you are better off waiting until the developer catches up.

Sudden Death AT&T GS3
Hi,
I have an AT&T Samsung Galaxy S3. I was running CM11 nightlies. It was working perfectly fine for all these days. Couple of days back it suddenly died. The phone hasn’t been switching on back since then. I tried putting it on full charge. Whenever I pull out the battery and reinsert it, it vibrates, The LED comes on and the Samsung screen comes on for a second and turn turns off again. I cannot access the recovery or download modes through the key combinations. I also tried going into download mode using a Jig. I have to remove the battery and reinsert it. The Jig did work and the phone did go into download mode but, only for a second and then turns off. I’m not sure what exactly the issue is.
I would be very grateful if you could help me find a solution.
Thanks.

Disk Space Back
I had trouble getting my max disk space after I did the debrick trick. So i'm going to shoot a quick tip to get all your space back.
go to your windows start menu and in the search type diskpart and hit enter.
in the command line type "list disk" no quotations and enter.
You should see your hard drive and any other storage devices connected in you computer. Determine which one is the sd card.
Next in the command line hit select disk x. x represents your sdcard.
last is clean disk in command line and your sd card has all its space but you must reformat it how ever you choose.
I just used sd formater.
hope that helps some peeps if so hook a noob up with some thanks clicks. :good:

Can you help me with this? I copied my thread :3
LiLTrippz said:
*I bought this off a friend of mine.*
All he told me was that he tried installing a rom and he thinks that he installed a rom for a different model S3.
What Happens/What I Did?
1. I tried to plug it into the computer and the computer doesn't show that anything plugged in, the S3 doesn't turn on. NOTHING.
2. I connected the phone to the PC without the battery inside and the phone responds with one RED light at the top left of the phone. Nothing shows up on my computer still, not even that the phone was connected NOTHING.
3. I bought a JIG device and tried plugging it into my phone and it doesn't work. (I previously tested this JIG on another samsung device and it worked)
4. I tried doing the method to use a 16gb SD card and downloading an i747m debrick IMG and using Win32FlashTool to copy it to my SD Card. I tried with 2 different cards the first one was a 16gb SD card and the other was a 32gb SD card.
5. Through a lot of research I found a leaked way to unbrick the Samsung Galaxy S3 i9300 by shorting out the R313 chip, I'm sure you guys are all aware of this method. I opened my device and couldn't find the R313 chip. After further research I found that a user was able to locate the R313 chip on the i747m and he'd unbricked his phone with that method. If anyone can help me locate the i747m R313 chip it'd be GREATLY appreciated!
If anyone can help me out it would be great! I'm very experienced at soldering so if there's a method that requires me to solder I'm more than confident I can do it.
Thank you!! :good:

[Q] Help UnBricking Phone

So i bricked my Samsung Galaxy S3. I believe it is hard bricked because there is absolutely no response from the phone. Can't boot into recover, download, or regular boot. The phone has at least 40% battery when I last saw it work.
I was attempting to roll back my android OS to see if I could extend my battery life but every time i tried using odin my download mode would give me "sv rev check fail" so i attempted to unlock the boot loader. I couldnt odin it so I flashed a custom rom to check if I could flash roms on my phone. The slimkat custom rom worked but when I tried to flash back to stock I would get the sv error. I saw that EZ-Unlock app would work so i tried it out. The app said it unlocked but when I restarted the phone to get into download mode, the phone seems to be bricked.
I have a usb jig but it doesnt seem to force my phone in to download mode and I am waiting on a micro SD card to try to un brick it. How can I use the micro card to un brick the Tmobile version of SG3?
Samsung Galaxy S3 SGH-T999

First of all the bootloader is NOT locked, so whatever that app does it was not mean for this device.. You should never attempt to downgrade firmware, it has been stated many times that there is high risk to hard brick when you try to bypass this restriction. The unbrick might work

Follow instructions in the debrick thread and hopefully it'll work.

thats what i used on my first S3. bricked it like a............brick.lmfao.
gave it to some guy and i here now that he was able to revive it by some magical hoo-doo crap. well thats what i deserve for not reading reading and reading some more.
well , good for him is all i can say.! at least its gettin used ! :sly:
err on the side of kindness

Lol! I couldn't remember for sure if that's how it had happened on this thing, so I didn't want to say for certain that it was fixable. (Should a just asked you, but in my own defense, what's left of my mind these last few weeks is pretty much a scrambled mess!)
Anyway, I can 100% confirm that this type of brick is fixable. Using it as we speak/type!
And thanks to mrrocketdog for saving my a$$ with this thing! I may not have been around at all the last little while if not for him! (Might be back using my sad little MyTouch 3G Slide!)

[Q] Trying to revert back to stock, ended up soft bricking my phone

I searched but seems like everyone else has a slightly different situation than I do and I don't want to screw my phone up any more.
I picked up a Galaxy S5 and wanted to give my Galaxy S3 to my mom.
(This next process happened almost a month ago, so I forgot many of the useful details, I'm really sorry about that)
I don't remember which ROM I was running, I'm fairly certain it was CM10 that hasn't been updated in almost a year. I ended up rebooting and flashing a stock rom that I had backed up on my computer. I flashed it and I got a weird message. The phone wouldn't boot to the ROM and kept going to the home screen. I tried a different stock ROM that I got online, got the same issue, so I tried another source's stock ROM. I got a weird error, phone shut down, and wouldn't power back up.
It would vibrate once when I held the power button, but it didn't do ANYTHING else. I tried doing the power+volume down trick, vibrated twice, did nothing more than that. I got fed up, took the battery out and the memory card, and let it sit in a drawer.
At this moment the only thing the phone does is a short vibration when I do either the power button or power button + volume down.
Today I decided to try to recover it and saw something about a USB Jig I can buy on eBay that may help.
Is this something that may work or is my phone permanently bricked? If the Jig does work, where should I get the stock ROM for this phone, and if it matters, how do I know which stock ROM to install?
It's an AT&T Galaxy S3 16gb model.

here is a thread for stock ROMs.
do you know your bootloader and baseband version?

I don't know any of that.
Also what's the difference between MJ2, LK3, LG1, and LEM?

Sounds like you flashed an incorrect ROM and/or bootloader onto your phone.
The bootloader is important because if you have the mjb and newer bootloader, flashing an older bootloader will brick the phone.

I can see me flashing the wrong rom, but is the bootloader attached to the rom package?
If the bootloader is ****ed, will the jig work for me or am I out of luck?

Where did you get the last ROM you flashed? Provide a link if you can.
Have a look at the debrick thread as it may be helpful if your phone can't get into download mode. The jig may or may not help but it's good to have one for Samsung phones.

I honestly have no clue, the only rom I could find in my downloads folder on my computer that I can't identify as a custom rom is "pac_d2lte", and I remember the d2lte part throwing me off even though thats what a few sites said to download.
The Jig worked, btw, I'm at the download screen with the phone plugged into my pc, should my PC be showing it as an external device? Cause it doesn't show it in "My Computer".

Can I just take an SGH-I747 rom off this page and flash it with ODIN?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33570269#post33570269

I would not flash any stock rom until you know the bootloader version on your phone.
Since you can get into download mode, flash philz touch recovery for the d2lte and flash a custom rom such as cm11 onto your phone to at least get it booted so you can confirm the bootloader and baseband.

I actually just did just that. It seemed to restore my phone to working condition. It seemed a little buggy during set up, but I don't know if it's because I was running it without a sim card or not. So far it looks like it's running just fine.
In other words, this is what I did (in case someone has the same problem and stumbles across this thread):
Purchased a Samsung Galaxy Jig from Amazon
Downloaded one of the LK3 ROMs from this thread
Downloaded Odin 307
Connected the Jig to my phone to allow it to boot to download mode
Once in download mode I unplugged the Jig and plugged the phone into my PC
I launched Odin and it found my phone right off the bat.
With the settings "Auto Reboot", "F. Reset Time", and "PDA" checked, I clicked on PDA and selected the ROM I just downloaded.
I clicked start, Odin did its magic, and my phone rebooted to the setup screen

Need Help to Debrick S3 Running Cyanogenmod 12.1 android version 5.1.1

I installed Cyanogenmod 12.1 on my sprint s3 with CWM about a month ago; everything was working fine until last night when my phone died on me and after leaving it on the charger over night I woke to find my phone Hard Bricked. Now I know it's not the battery since I have two (both of which I've fully charged via battery charger) and I can't get into download mode or recovery mode; plus given the fact that there is no battery charger light on when phone is plugged into charger; except when the battery is not in the phone then it's only lit up for around 30 seconds: I am absolutely sure that my phone is Hard Bricked (Still not sure as to why my phone Hard Bricked in the first place though), and given the fact that I've lost my old img back up I made when I installed a new linux OS on my PC a few days ago foolishly not backing up all my phone files. Given all that I can say without a doubt that my phone is screwed without any help from someone else, but sadly out of everyone I know personally not one of them seams to have a Sph-L710 S3.
Now I've searched all day now to find a dumped sph-l710 5.1.1 cyanogenmod 12.1 image to no avail (not sure if the recovery software is a factory but I use CLOCKWORKMOD). Now I know that a SD card debrick loader has a chance to not work but I really would like to at least find out whether or not it will help me in my situation, or if I should just finally decide to upgrade to a new device (the latter option is not exactly appealing to me; oh how I love my S3 with its perfect size), If there is anyone that could possible help me out I would greatly appreciate it. So, that is my issue; I hope that you can help if not thanks for the effort of reading this post anyways.

good call. thats where i got debrick image that i keep on internal storage, just in case!

You don't need an image from the rom you were running, you need an image for the firmware you were on.
What was the last touchwiz version that you were running/last update that you took? That's the version of the debrick image that you need to find.
