[Q] Accidently loaded s2 rom on s3 won't boot. - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I accidently loaded a s2 aokp rom to my s3... Now my phone won't boot up, go into recovery or download mode... Anyone know what to do...

If you really can get into recovery and download mode, flash galaxy s3 stock firmware via odin, and if you also stuck into bootlop go to recovery and wipe cache and full factory
Hope I could help
Edith you can't get into downloads mode or recovery, your phone is hardbricked
Sry for you

How can i Flash the firm ware? Are you able to Link me? I have the NA version, posted in the wrong section, but how would i be able to do without going into download mode and ODIN

Your phone is hardbricked, because you can't get into download mode or recovery
That means you can't do anything unless you send it to Samsung

No download mode no ODIN flash!
You'll have to return it to Samsung buddy

Would a usb jig not be worth a shot here before sending to Samsung?? . May just shunt it into download mode. So cheap!!

I agree. At least you should try.

Yup - get yourself a USB Jig from ebay - can be had for a couple of pounds/dollars/euros so defintiely worth trying before sending it off.
Also, have you tried leaving the battery out for a couple of mins - I'm sure I've read here of members not being able to get into download mode but then after a battery pull they could and so managed to reflash via odin.
Olywa

You can borrow a usb jig near you.. the link is on my sig.
You can download stock firmwares in sammobile.com, get an account there and download
I hope this helps

+1 on this.
A factory wipe/reset from the standard 3e recovery did it for me. I found no other way.
I am unable to get into recovery but I do have download mode and can use odin...... I could fix the issue easily if I had root but I don't know how to root UCLC2 or UCLD5

Then flash a firmware with Odin you know how to root. Or better yet flash entropy512's stock plus root package.
By the way you should be able to get into recovery by holding down volume up + volume down + power button - do not let go off any buttons until you see the recovery menu - the bout splash screen will flash at least twice before recovery comes up.

Help with broken sgs2(noob)

Recently i had been trying different roms using ROM manager. This morning i was using nightly from CM9 and from recovery i tried to install CM7
I dont remember having done any wipes as i thought it wasnt necessary no errors ocured but when i tried to reboot my phone it gets loop on the very first screen that is like samsung galaxy s2 and this yellow triangle. I cant acces recovery neither download mode, i dont know how to undo this but im gettin even scared of loosing my phone. Please help!
Can your phone boot into Samsung logo?
I believe Cm9 is an ICS based rom and CM7 is a GB based rom so they are quite different and probably require a full wipe before moving from one to another. Are you able to enter recover or download mode?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
The problem is moving from ICS to GB.
Just flash back CM9, assuming you can enter Recovery...

He can't enter to reco. Only DL mode.
So, you need to flash back stock ICS, root, full wipe and again flash GB.

Is my phone bricked?

So I was doing the Odin flash part, and after it passed, my phone would of rebooted, but it just stayed on the samsung logo. So i restarted it, and its still happening. I can't go into recovery mode.
Yes it sounds like a soft brick. You can usually fix this problem with a USB jig.

Crap my friend doesnt have an SD card. he only has internal. How can he put a ROM in the phone?
Do you havea link to a thread? I can't find anything how to fix a soft brick.
Ima try this
Part 5: De-brick
1. First thing you should do is to try access CWM recovery (see above), then either restore a previous nandroid backup you made, flash a working rom that's on your sdcard, or put a working rom on your sdcard via your PC 's card reader and flash.
2. If you can't fix it via recovery, then put your phone into download mode. Flash a stock rom via Odin (see above)
3. If your Note won't turn on at all, you may be facing a hard brick.
4. You can also purchase a mini-usb jig which will put your phone into download mode even when above methods fail. I personally bought this one for $1.60 shipped. But basically any jig for the Galaxy phones should work.
That shouldn't matter, did you try going into download mode? If you can't then you need to by a jig, they aren't that expensive or you can make one yourself!

Hey, Ultimate. I'm the friend that's in need. When I open Odin, do I keep the two ticked items the way they are? Or do I untick F. Reset Timer?
Keep them, just make sure re-partition isn't ticked and if it's only one file flash in the PDA section

Never mind, ignore this.
OK that's a good sign, first time boots do take a while because cache and data need to be created so be patient, if it takes more than ten mins, go back into recovery wipe cache and dalvik cache and try again, if that doesn't work then also wipe data

Ok everything is working fine. I don't remember what I did, but do i download ROM Manager, then click Flash Clockworkmod Recovery and confirm? then go into recovery mode?
You must have been patient and see if you already have cwm installed if you do then no need but if you don't i suggest you find out other ways as ROM manager isn't very good I just helped someone out who was having cwm issues and they flashed it using rom manager but you can try if you wish

That's forced download, it's like download mode, but in this case, your phone is begging you to flash something.
As I said before, you need to tell us what phone you've got in order , for us, to tell you what you oughtta flash.

That exclamation mark error is telling something bad has happen with earlier flash, ie unfinished flash, corrupt files etc. Back in the old days people usually use usb jig to force phone into nornal download mode again. That happen to me once and what i did is remove battery, hold the three button combination for download mode and while still holding those buttons, force reinsert the battery. Phone should boot into download mode and should be detected by pc and can be flashed via odin. Good luck with it

[Q] Factory reset after Rooting phone

Recently I factory reset my rooted Samsung Galaxy S2 without really thinking. Now on reboot, it seems to be stuck on the ' Samsung GALAXY SII GT-19100' start up screen (with the yellow triangle). I realized after I did the factory reset that it was a bad idea so any help would be greatly appreciated
If it helps, I am rooted with Jeboo Kernel
I've done a number of factory resets.....in both the android menu and cwm........
All it does is wipe any user installed apps and user settings.....it doesn't even get rid of photos taken using the phones camera......so it doesn't affect whether your phone boots or not.......

So, how do I fix this problem. Cannot even turn off the phone as it goes black and then straight into this screen. Can get into download screen though.
OK....so you can't boot the phone....
And I'm guessing you can't access CWM?
In that case, you only really have one option......flash a stock firmware via Odin and re root.......
