Well,
I was flashing my first test theme of my new VR theme, and I got a status 7 error in CWM.
After selecting reboot, nothing now happens with my phone, can't get it turned on with any key combination or with a jig! Ugh!
Pretty sure she's done for...unless someone has another idea?
It just doesn't do anything at all? No boot image or anything? If so, i don't know what we could possibly do.

Yeah, if you could get ADB to connect, you would be good, but if it won't do anything, I can't think of anything else to try. Jig is usually the last resort.

Plugged it in? Try that. Get some power flowing through it lol. Just tell att the note bricked you will get away with it, just make sure to try every dang thing you can, because if they figure it out it may not be too pretty.
What happens when it is plugged in? Any driver notification sounds?

Permanently rooted. Without realizing it, I wiped out all custom roms that were installed in the phone. As far as I know, all it needs is some roms since its technically "empty" with no programs running the phone.

At a time phone can have only one ROM installed.. just download a ROM of your choice from " Rezound Android Dev" threads and flash on to your device
Unless you have boot manager.

Boot manager is an app that lets you dual boot roms. If you don't know about it you probably don't have it. You have to put it on your phone manually
Man this just seems fishy. If they knew how to "empty" out a phone they could have easily put it back to stock at least. Sounds like there's something else wrong with the phone and this is just a cover.

Your phone is alright. Take a breath and go in Sprint and download an ROM when one is available. You just installed the wrong stuff but its an easy fix. Might take days some time for a rom to come online though

Can you get the phone into download mode?
To do this, pull the battery out (to make sure the phone is completely off), plug it in, hold the volume-down and home buttons then turn it on while holding those buttons.
If you can get it into download mode, then it should be possible to reflash the proper firmware using Odin.
Or at least, that's how things went when I had my Samsung Vibrant. I've only owned my S3 for a day.

Sorry, you're qhsusb_dload (aka hard) bricked. I've spent about 3 days trying to fix mine after I bricked it flashing a kernel on a bad port of cwm. If I had a working S3 and another 3 days I might be able to un-hardbrick it, but yeah, will just be exchanging it as soon as they come back in stock.

Just take it to Sprint but don't tell em you was trying to download a custom rom.. Simple they probably don't know the issue yet until more people start taking they brick phones in because they tried to root..
I think you overpaid for your paperweight . Yes, I feel a little cruel for making a joke about someone who just lost $600, but you do still have a chance at exchanging it at Sprint. Bricking a phone is every custom rom users worst nightmare, but that's probably your best option. Good luck.
Same Probelm...Sort of
Yeah I did the same thing I think, tried to flash a kernel via cwm, said operation aborted...ok....so I reboot it and now it wont turn on, cant get it in download mode. Weird thing is though when i plug it in to my computer and hold down the power button, while nothing happens to my phone my computer will continuously make the connect disconnect sound like my phone is turning on for a nano second.
and if my phone is plugged in with battery out red charge light comes on, so I know something is going on in there.
any thoughts on how/if I can fix....
Yeah I may be a crook. But I would take the battery out and stick the headset in the microwave for about 3 seconds. You have insurance on it. Do what you got to do. They lie, cheat, and steal every chance they get.

Sorry, you're hard-bricked. As I mentioned in a previous post, your phone is in "qhsusb_dload" mode, which is a Qualcomm firmware flashing mode. If you look in your Device Manager, that's what you'll see your computer is detecting. There's absolutely nothing you can do at this point as no one outside Qualcomm/Samsung has the proper tools/files to recover from this state.

King71st, I flashed Liquid JB on it and used Flap's kernel and it didn't work so good yesterday.
All the bricks I've seen is using the wrong rom for the device. There are many variants to most phones and they use a rom for the variant they

How did you fix yours? Tried flashing abyssnote and liquidsmooth and it wont turn on. Torch blinks when you hold lock for about a minute.
I may have worded that wrong. I haven''t fixed mine. I meant it has been good since I bought it til I put Liquid JB on it Saturday afternoon. Mine is dead as dead can be.

No jtag is your only hope.. Sending a brick into Samsung is fraud. You claim all responsibility when you give your phone root access, not to mention installing a 3rd party operating system.
True there are ways to revert everything to stock so that you can return it, but these are for people with legitimate hardware defects not to be abused by someone who can't man up and admit they made a mistake.
Ffs
STOP CONDONING FRAUD ON THIS FORUM!!!
THE REASON COMPANIES WANT TO LOCK DOWN DEVICES AND MAKE US NOT ABLE TO TO MODIFY ANYTHING IS THAT EXACT REASON.
TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR OWN MISTAKES AND STOP RUINING IT FOR THE PEOPLE THAT KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING!!
XDA does not condone Fraud in any way, shape or form. If you broke it and somehow pull the wool over their eyes, don't post it here.
We all take these risks when we flash the ROMs/Kernels/Mods. In doing so, we also should take the responsibilities as well.
I am still trying to figure out why "This weekend" as well as the relevance of this thread.
OK so basically I'm a moron I saw the enoxys abuse app (I'm sure I spelt that wrong) and without thinking I rooted with it since I won't have my computer working till tomorrow. So being rooted I get the brilliant idea to download goo manager and push a recovery because "it was that simple on my gnex ." So now I have the lovely Verizon warning. I know I fix that with Odin but idk the files to use. Yea I did something dumb because my last two phones were virtually unbrickable. I'm hating myself for not reading but yea can someone please point me to a guide or just tell me what to do? Thank you in advance and feel free to make fun and say I deserve it
Edit: Is there anyway to fix this and not totally wipe my phone?

Can someone please help me? I was rooted but my bootloader was not unlocked and before I read anything... I am so stupid... I downloaded goomanager and now I have a soft brick that I am not able to get out of and a Verizon message that wants me to take my phone in. I have followed every direction and used every recovery rom even the stock rom. The stock rom will not even load in Odin all I get is a invalid bienary error. I really don't know what to do at this point. Thanks
Follow the same directions that were posted above and don't use goo... Use our forums and get stuff specifically for our device.

Hi, I hard bricked my phone a couple weeks ago. I was trying out Heimdall for the first time instead of Odin, which I'm pretty familiar with. I messed up and pretty sure I hard bricked it; whenever I try to turn the phone on the led light flashes once and nothing happens. I tried going into Download mode, and the USB jig didn't work either. Are there any solutions other than JTAG to recover from a hard brick?
Thanks !
