Hello, I used Titanium Backup to delete programs or apps that I do not need. For whatever reason, I received the force close message, couldn't even hit the "force close" the pop still there. I had to turn off the phone then turn it back on. Now, the phone will not go into the phone and will not read sim card, will not turn off. Only thing is remove the battery, that's the only thing to get the phone off.
Please help!!!
If you didn't pay attention to what you deleted reflash as no one can help if you don't list what it is you've removed. But given the extent of your problem would reflash anyway.

Honestly, I do not remember what I deleted. the "Force Close" message popped up. Although I pressed "Force Close", it did not close at all.
How, I am only see the "Wifi" signal at the top and "Advanced Task/App Killer" icon at the top left.

I'll just post here. The only thing you can try is to reflash, but if you can't get into flash mode as you said in your pm I don't know what to suggest.
Try running this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=825675
he seems to be unable to put the phone in flash mode idk why :s
If you are unable to power down to go into flash mode, take the battery out, then connect the USB cable, hold down the back button, and replace the battery. It may take 3 hands (lol) but it worked for me once.

Yup, that's the problem. I've sent a pm to Bin4ry to seek for help at the same time, I have contacted Sony Ericsson as well to maybe, repair. But first and foremost, I am waiting to see any replies from the Bin4ry.

When the power comes back, put it back into download mode again and run odin again.

Move this to general questions.
Ps. U can always restore with odin. Through download mode
First pay electric bill, 2nd flash bk to stock, from there do what you want.
I had a similar problem where in the middle of an ODIN flash I lost connection. First off, try just holding power and see what happens. If you at least get a response, then you're definitely not bricked. Try holding down power at the same time as volume up and down. If that doesn't work, or if holding the power button has no effect at all (that's how it was on my phone, the power button did not cause the screen to so much as flicker) then try this. Unplug the phone and pull the battery. Put the battery back, and then while holding volume up and down plug the phone into the computer. If you're not bricked then that should get you into download mode
It's futile everyone telling that this is in the wrong section, if he is unwilling to look for a solution himself and being spoon fed answers in the incorrect section, what motivation does he have to actually try to help himself or post in the right section?

When you can, pulle the battery, place it back in, put the usb from your pc into your phone and your screen should show a pc to phone error type message...that's because the process stopped in the middle... now press and hold up/down with the power button until that pc to phone goes away and soon as it goes away, let go power..don't let go the up/down toggles. Download mode should appear. Now close odin, open it back up, remove the usb cable from the phone and place it back in and now you should see the yellow connection sign in odin and you are good.

It seems that the first thing to do after you brick is to come here and post, HELP, IM BRICKED, AM I BRICKED, BIG PROBLEM. I have had every brick possible and not once did I post for help, All answers to all bricks are in the bible.
Like I already said, that exact same thing happened to me. Pull the battery then put it back in. While holding down volume up and down, plug the phone into USB. This should bypass the power button and cause your phone to boot into download mode

Thanx for your help man, but before I post this thread I do everything you and the other guys are telling me. I read the Bible and nothing works..
1st you want to download kies here
Then put your phone in to Stock upload mode by removing the sim and battery and booting with both volume buttons down (do this while the phone is plugged in to your PC)
Once that is done drive to a t-mobile store and see if they will give you a new one...
lol
Wrong section, and search is your friend.

1) Open Odin on PC

3) plug usb cable only to PC
4) hold down both vol keys.
5)plug usb to phone
6) install battery
7) your now in D/L mode.
I've flashed dozens of ROMS, Odined many times and have considered myself savy enough. . .until today.
I was dicking around with some stuff and soft bricked the phone.
I thought, no biggie.
I can't get into Download mode. Help me. The 3-button thing doesn't work. Neither does the holding the volume buttons in while plugging in USB. Each time power hits the phone that stupid symbol pops up.
Please help me out folks.

That''' only work if he flashed the updated SBL... but sear, look around, there are guides to get out of that screen. Or better yet, get Heimdall, there's a command to get you out of it.
**cough** wrong section ** cough**
Try pulling the battery for 30 seconds then try the volume buttons then USB again. Also reboot the pc before plugging the USB cable in. If that doesn't work you may also try that same approach with the battery out of the device. I'm assuming that you're talking about the stupid battery charging indicator is the thing that keeps popping up amirite?
yeah just flash over the pc symbol when it comes up after booting i was amazed i could do that lol

Heimdall I believe is linked to in the bible. As far as this situation, I was at a point a few days ago where I had no backlights and the screen wouldn't come on. Remove the SIM/sdcard/battery. Plug in the USB connector, hold both volume buttons, and re-insert the battery. This method has proven to work for me 99% of the time. Otherwise, you may need to buy a JIG that will pop you into Download Mode.

Glad to see you're back up and running. We've all been there.
I've seen a section on how to use the jig device but I don't think its going to work. Heres the thing, my phone is completely dead, no "Vibrant" screen, no download in anyway possible, no charging screen. Is there hope? Please help me :'(
This happened to me once, I could not get it to respond in anyway what so ever.... after being pissed and leaving it alone for about 20 minutes I came back and tried this...
1. Open your phone and take our your sim card, battery and external sd if you have one
2. Plug in your usb cord
3. Hold volume up and down, DO NOT HOLD POWER only volume buttons
4. Place battery back in phone and watch for the screen to respond
5. Release Volume up and down buttons
This method got me in to download mode even though I tried it like 100 times, it was only until after I let me phone sit for a little bit did it respond. Even if you have already tried this.... try it again. I went thru the same thing.

You can contact connexion2005 he is the best.
sadly.. for every 1 post I read about someone bricking a phone while flashing custom ROM, I read 4 or 5 of people bricking w/Kies..
did you ever have any 2.3.x roms on your phone? bootloaders?
"Kies ate my phone" is still an excellent way to get a new phone regardless of the current warranty.

Yes I have, I had GB bootloaders on the phone but never switched them back to Froyos BL even when I flashed 2.2 ROMS, could that have been the problem?

Hard Brick with Kies
Just wanted to say i did the same thing when i got my vibrant, i had busy box which i think was the reason kies failed on me.... but i called Samsung and they didn't even think twice about claiming warranty. They re flashed 2.2, and i bough the phone used of eBay, give them a shot.

Judging by the thread, I doubt its going to work. It needs to atleast boot, which is what my phone isn't doing. Basically it acts as if there is no battery in, doesnt boot, no download mode, no charging screen. Computer wont pick it up either.
Hi Guys... In need of a lot of help...
I finally got bored of waiting for the official update and wanted to try some Jello...
Now I have problems after what I thought was going to be easy...
I'm using the SGS3 Toolkit by Mskip...
Installed the drivers and selected option 3 on the root menu
All seems fine until the exiting Odin.. The box never turned green and the phone reset.
Now the phone will boot and seems to work, but the power button doesn't switch the screen off and it then becomes impossible to unlock. Need to reset to unlock (and then it only happens once)
Any helpers - other than that I should have waited...
Thank in advance
Neville
Flash back to stock Rom with Odin, then use cf root

There were some faulty S3's where the power button got jammed.

Good day,
Noobie doesn't begin to describe me. I just want to stop these update notifications on my phone and I've been trying for over a month with different instructions which usually ends when what I'm looking for isn't in the place where the directions said it was.
So five months ago I bought a rooted Galaxy S3 4.1.1 off eBay that I use on Boost mobile network. It was working when I got it in the mail and it still works great. Tried to contact the person I purchased it from but no reply. I like the phone the way it is, not trying to do anything fancy. Can someone please just lay out in simple (idiot) steps what I need to do to stop the update notifications that would be great? Thanks.

The sprint section you originally posted this in is the correct forum, however I'm not 100% on the fixes we use on our sprint phones will work for you and keep your phone working properly on boost. Anyway refer to that thread as one posted suggested accept the update and it will fail and let you live without the constant update pop ups, there's other fixes for it as well if that doesn't do the trick.

I understand your concern, however there is a flashable file that can get rid of it, my only concern is can you use it. I'd have to check around a bit, but it's not hard to do at all, I'll see what I can find out and get back to you once I know for sure.

Should be fine bud, if you're rooted just make a backup first just in case... to get rid of the notification yourself (if you're rooted) just use a root explorer and navigate to system, look for a file called build.prop and edit it to reflect the new update... so if on mb1 change every instance of mb1 to mc3, save reboot to recovery, clear caches and reboot... if not rooted, nothing you can do about it unless you accept the ota update

Not sure if I'm rooted, thought I was since I'm using the phone on Boost. Read a could of post and downloaded a couple of apps to figure that out but still can't tell.

Download any root app and open it, if it prompts for superuser permissions then you're rooted... actually download this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.joeykrim.rootcheck open and run, it will let you know if it's rooted or not...

Ok so you're not rooted.. only way to get rid of the update notice is to actually install the update... don't know if that will mess up your boost flash but, but it shouldn't...

I haven't tried the Install yet. Wanted to hear from you first, will probably wait a few more days to see if something comes up. But thanks anyway.

From what I read it sounds safe to do, but honestly I'm even a bit iffy on it, most of the info is at least a few weeks old if not more. My guess is it will work and you'll be updated with more features than you have now, just afraid it could break something, like mms or voice mail.
In the boost mobile thread over in the sprint gs3 general section it looks like alpineman might be the best one to answer all the ins and out of this or perhaps others in that thread.
