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.

Oh, I'm fine now, 50 euros lighter but with working Ace.
Ticoticox3000 is the one with the brick in his hand.
He should try the usb jig and share the experience.
ive tried it when mine was bricked but 4 day later i dropped mine from concrete stairs -_-
but yeah that was 4 months after i bought my ace now ive got it already 1.6 year

Hello Guys!
My friend bought a SGS2 and he whanted to root it and to put MiUi on it. Now he unpluged it while it was in the Odin doing something with PIT...
It stopped and now he can't go anymore in the download mode and the phone remains black...
is that a full brick? is there any chance to run it again?
do you need more informations?
I looked throuth the threds but i couldnt find something like that...
i hope anyone can help
Will Samsung repair that with Warranty?
Can i know why he disconnected his phone during using something with Odin?!
He made a Solid Brick he cant do anything else than Warranty or JTAG..

It's not the most correct thing to do (actually, not at all, it was your friend's fault entirely, also voiding the warranty), but your friend can tell them that the device began to heat while charging, he unpluged it and it died, sometimes it happens...
As for the JTAG you asked on the other post, it's a physical connector inside the cellphone used to write the flash memory, it involves opening the device, pinning some terminals and programming via PC, it's pretty common on embedded devices to load the program for the first time.
There is still a chance to get the phone back to its senses!
you will need 2 people to do this
read all 5 steps then only proceed!
1. Remove the battery.
2.Start odin in your pc.
3.connect the mobile to the pc using cable.
4.keep pressing the keys required to get in download mode. i.e. power+home+volume down key.
5.ask someone else to put the battery in your phone keeping the keys pressed!.
if every thing goes right Odin will detect the phone Flash it with a good rom you know which works! and never take out the cell from odin when its being flashed until odin says Success!

Won't work if the PIT wasn't completed therefore leaving the device void of a bootloader, but it's worth the try, you have nothing to lose...

thank you guys for all your support
Afaik u never supposed 2 use pit options in odin for gs2 otherwise u end up with a brick anyway regardless if u remove the cable or not. perhaps read more and be more careful if u ever decide 2 flash again. i would not be happy with that friend lol.

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.

I was using ShishirRom (ICS) since a week. Today I was trying to flash CM9-Stable-Version in the morning. And 2 major problems occurred.
1. While I was transferring the CM-9-Stable-Version file to my phone, I was checking out the ROM Manager (I know you hate me already!!) and I pressed the Backup Current ROM Button instead of the back button on my phone. (**** Im stupid ) But wait there is more!
2. While I was finally able to get into Download Mode after 30 minutes of fiddling and was trying to flash via Odin to return to Stock and start all over again, my dear a$$hole friend pulled the plug while the Odin was in progress. (Yes, I am having one of those worst days)
Current situation: Phone does not boot-up - means NO ODIN RECOGNITION / NOT RECOGNIZED BY LAPTOP / NO DOWNLOAD-MODE / NO RECOVERY-MODE / NO CWM.
I have been googling about ADB and how to use it, but honestly I have not found on a How-to. I have read that ADB can reboot the phone into Download Mode or Recovery Mode, but I don't know how to use it. I don't know how to use ADB does not mean I didn't google it. I just couldn't find a guide to use it in my situation. If you can, please send me a link
May The Force Be With You! And may you help me search my answer! \m/
Ok so this might look dumb of me, but I am desperate here. I know its a weekend, and everybody is drunk. And probably I am the only lonely trying to figure out what the hell is ADB!
I look up to this site and the developers here. And I shouldn't, but I have, started expecting from all of you knowledgeable individuals. I would be hurt to be let down. Please help!
Thank you everyone in advance.
Not sure if this is what you're looking for but worth checking out.

Im actually in the process of moving interstate. Once its done, I will contact the local AT&T shop to find out more on warranty replacement, since I am still under warranty.

My Galaxy SIII is dead.. 4 weeks ago It randomly went to the Splash screen about 5 minutes after me using it, for some unknown reason and hasnt worked since, the eBay app kept crashing a few days before and then i updated the app, the next day my phone broke?!?!..
Phone is about 4months old and the screen has a small crack at the bottom (did this a week after i got it and doesn't affect phone) i sent my phone off for repairs but o2 sent it back and said warranty is void because the screen is broke.. So they won't touch it.
I have no knowledge of flash and firmware however after doing a bit of research this last week i've downloaded Odin3 but no flash/firmware to go with!
The phone no longer powers on, it used to just go to the splash screen but freeze, now it wont even do that.
I can open download mode, but when i plug my phone into my laptop although it makes the connection sound, Kie's can't connect it will only attempt to connect (& fail) when it's in download mode too.. I've re-downloaded the samsung usb drivers, but no joy.
When i charge it, the battery loading symbol comes up but again it freezes at this?
I've tried recovery mode but it will only load the splash screen, then thats it, it freezes on that...
Any ideas? Does anyone know the o2 united kingdom flash firmware?

If you can get into download mode make sure to turn off kies, also check the task manager, as it does not play well with odin, or just uninstall kies as odin its better anyway. You can find all firmware on sammobile.com, give it a try.

On sammobile.com go to firmware and there you got several filters that you can use to see for instance all UK o2 firmwares.

Take care not to use the unofficial one (red triangle). Hope it will work for you, good luck!

Thank you for reply.. I've downloaded the o2 firmware and flash and did it step by step via odin with someone talking me through it, but it failed.. The guy who helped me is a dev for verizon and he said that because that wasn't working, my phone is completely bust & i need a new one...
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.

Okayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy where do i get them from wont the later ones re-instal when i plug the phone in?
Nope tried 1.4.8.0 usb drivers, still failed on write
In this link you should find everything you need. The zipped driver is older than the .exe and older than the driver you have. It is also the one that works for me.

Just to be clear its the samsung_usb_driver.1.3.1500.zip

I have been looking into this phone a bit further, tried the pit method but it hangs on getting pit, installed adb toolkit but found i can't do much because the phone is stock, USB debugging is not on and phone won't boot or go into fastboot menu hummmm Mmmmmmmmm, pc is fixed by the way lol.

Can you get into download mode or recovery??
Sent from my Sparkle V using XDA premium app
No recovery on phone as its stock, but download mode is ok, drivers installed on pc ok just need USB debugging activated

It's my mates phone and factory standard but I do believe he has had a go at it and must have locked me out of fastboot

So i have a s3 i9300, its my friends actually and yesterday all of a sudden it just went like this ( see picture ) now its just constantly staying like this, every few seconds the screen goes black and then the same screen again its doing this over and over until battery is taken out. When battery is replaced it just does this same thing again. I can get into download mode but when i press volume up button it just goes back again to the same screen. Also cant get into recovery. Can anyone help? Thank you!
