Phone stuck Boot Loop - 'Yes optus'? - Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Alright no idea wtf i did, but i think i screwed my phone. I had it successfully flashed with Cyanogenmod 7.1 and Glitch V13 kernel but my signal was crap so i tried to put a new one on then after i flashed it "read all i had to do was put phone in download mode and check the pda one" it flashed now it keeps looping boot screen but it says 'Yes optus, then immediately Galaxy S screen, then 'Yes optus, repeat...any ideas? or is it finished.

Go directly to DROIDSTYLES GUIDE. Do not pass Go, Do not collect $200. ( btw no, ur phone is NOT bricked.)

I think a jtag flash would be great cmiiw or just take it back to samsung
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium

lol are you 100% sure in your reply, cuz ill give it a shot. Or what about a usb JIG? would that possibly get me in download mode?

So im attempting to make my own usb JIG, since its only a less than $5 option but the diagram i keep seeing shows 5 pins all ina straight line, mine has 3 on one side and 2 on the other and its like this
with the 3 pins facing up
| | |
G
with the 2 pins facing down
| |
R1
so exactly what pins am i attaching the resistor to? For sure i know the one with the G under it which i know is Pin 5 so would that make the pin labeled R1 pin 4?

I found this by accident. If this works... hit my Thanks button plz.
good luck

[HELP] Ace Brick...

Hi, well yesterday I was trying to flash the SGAce of my dad with Odin, but it was like 18 minutes without moving from the part that said "qcsbl download .." and as I unplug the phone and I closed the Odin, as I unplug the phone and turn it off so I try to turn it back on and nothing, try to enter the recovery mode and nothing, so try to enter anything Download ... and now I have a paperweight ... What I can do?
view my post here, flash the clockworkmod recovery from stock. if u allready have cwm, then flash the rom in the link off your sd card. it will boot up.

not work, download files ClockWorkModAce.zip Root.zip and place them on a MicroSD, insert the MicroSD to the phone and try to enter recovery mode and nothing happens ... : s Understand that the phone does not respond (it has full battery, no SIM) as well as connect to the computer via USB or attempt to charge the screen does not respond. Do you know any other solution? : s

Thanks dragonnn spacecaker, today I learned something new and I'll put you to review this more thoroughly, but the important thing now, I have everything installed ok but when I put "adb devices" do not see the Ace, remember that the phone is in black does nothing.

go to service center !!
Yep, service is your answer. Bricked mine about a month ago. No life whatsoever, couldn't turn it on. I tried every possible solution that search results offered me and still nothing. At the end it had to be flashed directly on board. So I spent 50 euros on service, but I learned a valuable lesson.

Full BRick!

Phone will not boot, full brick. Anyone know how to remove the internal memory chip from the board and know of a device that can read it?
How did you manage this? A bit of information might be useful.

Is your device a international I9300 or I9300T model?
What did you mean exactly "Phone will not boot", stuck at samsung logo? or phone just won't power on?
try usb jib for S3. you should be able to go to yellow download icon mode and then flash back the old stock rom again.

There was one time when I was able to get the LED on while plugged in to the PC, maybe that was it .I really hope that was it but Odin did not see it.

Stuck on Samsung Screen
Hi guys please help me. My Samsung S3 is stuck on Samsung Screen. The phone talks to Odin3.
You flashed Omega on a Sprint phone? There's your problem, lol.

i717 permabricked. Won't even boot to download mode.

Is there any hope? I was trying to install LiquidSmooth Jellybean 4.1.2 RC8. I did a backup of the stock ROM before doing so using CWM 6.0. But now it won't even go into download mode. I plug it in via USB as the screen won't even turn on and it keeps flashing that it's plugged in, then it's not, then it is, etc.
I had used the files from AndroidJinn without reading the reviews at the bottom.
How screwed am I?

I'm facing quite the hard brick. $1.60 for a jig won't kill me, now to buy it. But is there anything else I can try?
I would try to find out exactly what caused this before attempting to fix it. Has the recovery that you used been reliable and tested enough to ensure it didn't cause any troubles? I compiled twrp for this device and I can tell you that recovery is a pain to build correctly.

Yes it has. Haven't had issues yet. But it happened specifically with this ROM, and the page is full of brick warnings. Not even the samsung logo comes up. Booting to recovery or download doesn't work.

I hope you can work it out. With my own I have not had any major problems to troubleshoot. Mostly things that a battery pull or an odin flash could fix. Although I have had a couple times that I was unable to get into recovery and simply removing my otterbox and retrying did the trick. ( Buttons getting worn out on the otterbox cover? )

Need help with a soft bricked GS3 please

Hi chaps,
I have a Samsung Galaxy SIII of my mates here thats stuck on the boot logo, my mate has already had a go at fixing it with odin with no joy.
I can get it into download mode ok and have odin downloaded ready, i have a feeling he has wiped the operating system and bootloader off :silly:, need some advice on how best to proceed with this one.
The details inside the phone are as follows
MODEL GT-I9300
FCC ID A3LGTI9300A
SSN:-I9300GSMH
IMIE354244/05/981362/2
S/M RF1CABR307M
Thanks in avance
I have tried installing UK factory software using odin 3.07 and 3.09 with no joy, as soon as it trys to write it fails, i thing maybe the bootloader is damaged or missing, how do i fix that?
Try the rescue firmware, from general forum with the pit.
If that doesn't work then the emmc chip is damaged.
Without bootloader the the boot would be a hard brick, it is what runs download mode so it's still there.
