There are a million and five threads about this on XDA.
It corrupts the EMMC chip, once corrupted you will need to replace the chip. Nothing can fix it.
can u tell me how much it costs to replace this chip?
so the motherboard and processor are both fine , and only this chip is gone?

You have to replace the whole motherboard - emmc is attached on it, and cannot be purchased/replaced separately.
and how much does this motherboard cost, i am out of warranty?
I wouldnt be surprised if Samsung wanted £200!.
If it were me Id buy a riff box kit rather than paying Samsung.

You're to start download mode by holding the home button, the volume down button then the power button consecutively.

Follow this tutorial for using JIG...

yes..i bricked my phone using rom manager
Seems like nowadays more and more poor soul bricked their phone using rom manager. Why in the world u install rom manager to unsupported device. Lol.
If u just want the backup feature in room manager(cwm), theres unnofficial build of cwm in the forum. Yes its still unofficial, but it works great.

Even if that mod works on gt i9100, it cant be used on your device as its alredy bricked and not booting.
Your last hope is usb jig that can be ordered from Ebay/Amazon.
If that doesnt work send it for Jtag service repair or to Samsung (50/50 chance warranty will be accepted).

Did you use its stock kernel with cwm? People have been hard bricking their sgs2 with it (stock samsung kernel from 4.0.4 with cwm) where even Jtag couldn't repair it. Their only way out is a board replacement from samsung.

Rom manager isn't recomended for sgs2 as it causes issues. Maybe it also caused the bricks people were having. Have you tried a fresh battery? If you did and it didn't boot. Samsung service center is your only way buddy.

I don't think so since your internal memory or emmc is literally wiped out (if the cause of your brick is the one i told you about). If fresh battery doesn't work and you did everything, your last resort is samsung service center for a board replacement. If you still have your warranty just tell them when you woke up your phone won't turn on and don't mention rooting, flashing etc.
Glad to help mate.

Hi all guys, i'm new here and i need your help.
One day ago i installed the Custom ROM "Super Nexus Beta5" on my galaxy. It worked for a day but now, when i turn on my phone, i see this (attachment)
And i can only turn on in download mode.
If i flash some firmware with odin, i have this error: There is no Pit-Partition.
Can you help me?
Sorry for bas english, Thanks.
If there is no pit, you need motherboard replacement because of eMMC failure.

Hi everyone,
My S3 motherboard has died and i can buy i new one for only €109.
The only problem is that it is completely blank, no IMEI or anything.
Can i install a new rom with Odin or is it more complicated than that, and how do you program the IMEI number?
Thanks

My dad bought it a few weeks ago and put an old simcard in it, when he wanted to replace the simcard he tried to pry with a screwdriver to get the card out and destroyed the mainbord.
I know how to flash a rom but my question is if its possible to flash a motherboard that has no software or anything on it.
You can't, take it to an authorised repair shop and they can.
I wouldn't advise discussing IMEI programming, it's illegal for you to attempt and will get your thread locked.

hello there, a friend of mine asked me to put CM 11 on his s3. He had stock 4.3(germany i guess) rooted. I flashed TWRP with Goomanager, wiped data,system,cache and dalvik then flashed the 10/05/2014 nightly with the gapps. The device power on just fine ,he installed a few apps from play store then he was playing around with the device when he locked it, then the device died.
What i tryed:
-wont enter recovery or download
-pulled the battery out pressed the power for 5s put it back in
-connected the charger then power on the device
