well my friend bricked his galaxy nexus when he tried rooting it and brought it back to the carrier to get a replacement. maybe you'll get lucky. he said that it just stopped working and had no idea what happened.
I did this too when I got my s3 but I just sent it into Samsung and they fixed it up.

I Cant boot into recovery though? its literally DEAD
Please Close I just told tmobile i was on fb and it crashed there sending me a new one > ive learned from my mistakes
I tried to put i9300 android 4.1.1. on my Att i747 sg3 and now I can't start the phone.
I was trying to upgrade the android version whole day, because I can't upgrade it through my phone when I check for upgrades.
The thing is I'm in europe and my phone of course we don't have a att carrier here, so it's not finding an update.
So in the end I tried to use mobile odin Lite, and put on i9300 version on it, so now it's not working.
When I try to start it shows me SAMSUNG and after that it turns off.
I hope someone has an idea how to fix it through my laptop ;/
Merry Christmas to all!
Well try this... open in download mode.... which is volume down key-power button and home button..... download odin ffor pc.... and latest firmware deom sammobile.com
Steps.

This isn't necessarily true.
He specifically stated he could see the Samsung logo which means it is not a hard brick.
OP please report back if you are able to enter Download mode.

No, he's not. If he's seeing any sign of life, it's not hard bricked.

Check the definition of hard brick, cause you have obviously missed something in that particular explanation.
Can you get into recovery with power,home, and vol up?
If it opens in download.... it is never bricked or if stuck on samsung logo not bricked... just open download mode and flash stock rom via pc odin

Guys, please assist or I`ll go mad in a minute and smash this crap with a hammer Wife got SGS S3 Mini/GT-i8190N. Don`t know what network it came from, but was not locked and came from UK.
Her phone suddenly turned off today and won`t boot, stuck here:
http://s23.postimg.org/kbtv942uj/sg1.jpg
How on earth I get it back to life? No hacks ever have been done to it. Google reveals huge amount of people having same problems - stuck at boot screen. Is that some kind of hardware issue with this model?
One of the solutions is to do factory reset - but how if I can`t get into the phone? I can get into ODIN mode, connect to ODIN, but I can`t download firmware as I don`t know what network phone came from or even it was sim ree(not locked to any).
KIES just says CONNECTING... and nothing happens.
There is a forum for this phone here actually .....

Was there a box that the phone came in? Usually somewhere on that you can find something that looks like the software version that came on the phone originally. I know the standard S3 has that and I'll go out on a limb to assume that this one has it as well, if you have the box. Outside of that, not sure what else to tell you.
Good luck!

I had an idea maybe flashing 4.4 custom rom, but even CyanogenMod needs an app from GooglePlay, which I cannot access.

2-You need to enable USB debugging mode (Settings>Developer options) which is deactivated by default. - I cannot access it as I can`t get into my phone.
Those firmwares can go fine with any I8190 - wife`s phone has N at the end of model.
Also - ODIN doesn`t see my phone, even its in Odin mode and Samsung USB drivers installed.
Okay I just looked up your phone and is not from UK it is from Nairobi

Does that change anything? What ROM I need to download then? Can I flash any ROM or it must be original factory ROM only?
How it ended up in UK then? I bought it in UK, brand new, sealed.
Yikes! No ODIN access ... that's not good. Was going to point you here:

Plugged USB cable in another USB port and ODIN can see my phone. Now, just need to know - can I flash any ROM or only one it came from factory with?
I don't see any firmwares for Nairobi and not sure I would flash one in any case, did you happen to check what version of android was on it when u got it? I know on my G III I can flash any I747M firmware and they all load and boot fine my concern us that you get the right radio and if I had to guess I would use I8190NXXAMG1, hope that helps, when u have Odin started on your desktop and plug in your phone in d/l mode it does not show your phone?

Should be able to use any one of the i8190N firmwares. Check the link I sent above. Do you have the box the phone came in?

Of course. I flashed back to the original firmware by ODIN after soft bricking.
I must find a way to root my Galaxy POP.
I9305 vs. POP
Correct me if I'm wrong: Samsung I9305 Galaxy S III also known as Samsung GALAXY S III LTE is similar to galaxy POP with only one difference: the internal memory of POP is only 8GB compared to 16GB of I9305.
Being that said, can I use root methods of I9305 to root POP?
Root SHV-E220S Android 4.4.4
I found a solution. Please refer to the following link for a working root method:

Root
Does it really works on samsung galaxy s3
Hi all,
I found it. You root by KingoRoot by PC. It took awhile to root, 20 minutes , I guess.

Hello I am trying to get the debrick. img for the sgh-t999l when I click on the link you have here it keeps taking me to a copy website and I am not able to find this link please help could you possibly send it to me? thanks
Works perfectly fine here. Are you clicking the download arrow and then "download to computer"?

Baffled
I hard bricked a friends SGH-T999V. I had successfully installed CWM and may have flashed it with an incorrect bootloader that I came across on the forums.
I have tried all debrick images on the thread using both the linux and the windows method. I verified and the 23 partitions get created. Tried it a few times with each image on the thread but have had no luck getting the phone to boot. I am currently using a 32gb - Class 10 sdcard.
Been at it for 14+ hours (spread out over 2 days). The S3 was running stock 4.4.2 prior to getting hard bricked.
I appreciated any help with this.
Really depends on what was on the device before flashing. But not all sd cards will work. Try using different ones.

Thanks. I will try another SD card.
Prior to the flashing, the phone was running stock 4.4.2 and all I had done in addition was install CWM d2tmo.
You will need a 4.4.2 debrick.img then. I've got one here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95747613655049000
Do you remember which build the firmware you were running was? This image is NF1. If you had something different or newer, it will not work. If you had updated to NH2 for example, you will have to have an image from a device running NH2. Nothing else would work.
I don't believe there is an NH2 debrick.img though. We'd have to find someone willing to make it. (Easier said than done lately.)
Anyway, if you were running the NF1 build, the image above should work just fine.

4.4.2 NF1 Debrick
I've managed to Hard Brick my phone and am in a similar position as balcony was. I'm using a Wind GS3 SGH-T999V and used Mobile Odin Pro to flash the Wind variant of 4.4.2 (T999VVLUFNF1_T999VYVLFNF1_GLW) Stock on my phone to be able to fix a CM11 GPS issue. I opted out of flashing the stock recovery -- is that why it happened?
Anyway, it booted fine the first time out of Mobile Odin but once I restarted, it Hard Bricked -- QHSUSB_DLOAD and all. I've tried using all the SGH-T999V debrick images in the original thread including the one that worked for balcony above, confirming 23 partitions, but I'm still having no luck. I have 2 different SD cards I'm trying them on, a 16GB Class 10 and a 32GB Class 10 and both aren't allowing the phone to boot.
Any more insight to this issue? I can provide as much additional information as required.
Debrick T-Mobile SIII attempt
Hello,
Firstly let me say this forum seems to be one of the best sources of information based on my search to resolve my bricked SIII.
I'm afraid the methods and jargon used are unfamiliar to me so I attempted to follow your instructions as best I can.
ISSUE: Phone "bricked" I think I remember seeing the phone trying to update something just before it suddenly shut down.
I'm just looking to recover files off the phone as this is a work phone and ironically I get an upgrade in a weeks time.
Model: SGH -T999 16 gb ( T-Mobile)
Attempt:
I followed the instructions using windows.
Downloaded win32diskimager
Downloaded 4.3 debrick image ( also tried not 4.3 image)
Copied debrick image on to SD card using win32diskimager( SD card FAT32, 16gb and Class 10)
Plugged SD card into my phone, inserted power and battery.
Felt the phone vibrate and got all excited.
However, went into Boot recovery Mode.
Shows:
BOOT RECOVERY MODE:
CHECK BOOT PARTITIONS.
COPY FROM T-FLASH
BOOT RECOVERY..
WRITE 159488 sectors..
FLASH WRITE FAILURE
ODIN MODE
Product Name: SGH-T999
Custom Binary Download: No
Current Binary : Samsung Official
System Status: None
Qualcomm secure boot: ENABLE
Warranty Bit: 0
BOOTLOADER AP SW REV: 1
I did try the above with the not 4.3 image but this didn't do anything.
Have I misunderstood something and done anything wrong?
Any advise from here would be greatly appreciated.
