[q] serious help needed samsung galaxy s3 t999 - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have the dead android with the red triangle on the recovery mode, I upgraded to jellybean 4.1.1 but some reason KIES reads my phone as being SGH I 747, so I factory whiped and reset, reinstalled 4.1.1. My original issue was when I wanted to sign into certain apps the phone would vibrate and then the app would crash and I would have to start over or not use the app! I tried to install a correct jellybean 4.1.1 into the phone hoping to fix the issues but I cant do anything, Now there is a dead android with a red triangle no clue what that is! I NEED SOME SERIOUS HELP PLEASE!!! When I tried to install another zip I get verification failed in recovery mode.

India Gingerbread upgrade issue

Hi team,
One of my friend was trying to upgrade his Ace to the new gingerbread firmware but the phone seems to have stopped working. He tried connecting to kies and upgrade. Once the download of firmware got downloaded the phone went to downloading mode and message firmware upgrade failed. Now the kies is not recognizing the phone and even the emergency recovery is not working.
When the phone is switched on the phone shows a computer and phone image with an excalmantion mark..Any idea what has happened? and how to get back the phone in working condition?
A quick response would be real helpful.

That poor phone is bricked by the heartlessness of Kies users .
Cannot withstand stuff if using just a MSM7227 with Adreno 200 using XDA App
ive had that screen before. unplug the battery from the device, hold vol down+home+on button like u would go into download mode. without releasing those three keys combination, insert the battery. now it should magically go into download mode. btw its hard to do this by urself, need someone to help u insert the battery while u hold the three button
Hi
After that what to do the kies is not detectun the phone

Use Odin to flash the phone . Make sure Kies is totally closed (even the task manager process is killed) then flash the phone .

Correct me if I'm wrong as I just got my S3 yesterday, but if you had a USB Jig, wouldn't you be able to force download mode to flash a new ROM via Odin? Read this link, I'm not 100% sure though. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1402286
Try using a USB jig.. it may be just a softbrick. But if the USB jig does not do the trick, then you my friend have hardbricked your phone. To get this fixed, you have to get JTAG services near you.. or if you are on warranty, maybe sending it to your service center will be less of a hassle

You can make a jig and force download mode just Google it, its only a resistor between two connections on the plug!

If you manage to revive it through a jig: please make sure you got the i9300 S3 not another model, since they are not compatible!
There's been talk about booting the Galaxy phone's bootloader from a specially formatted sdcard and with a rather uncommon jig ohmage, but I'm not sure it applies to the s3

I think it does, if I'm not mistaken it was a leak of the official jtag documentation
Op look in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1891197 then see if anyone near you had a jig. Then contact them to borrow their jig instead of making one.
You really named yourself "bricked my s3 help"

[Q] Bricked Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-i9070

I have a Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-i9070 which I was attempting to flash a new ROM onto via ODIN, everything looked successful, ODIN confirmed flash was a success and automatically rebooted the phone. Once the phone turned off, it never came back on. black screen. Tried removing the battery (fully charged at the time). Tried the usual Vol Down + Home Button + Power button and still nothing, done the same with the micro USB cable plugged in, device manager popped up in Windows and promptly closed again, some generic hard detected it didn't stay on the screen long enough for me to see.
So is it definitely bricked? is there any way to recover it, I've read some people have recovered variant models e.g. S5830 but this isn't working to the i7090. If it is bricked is the only option to try using a JIG? I've read a few posts but I'm not really that technical on the hardware side (any tutorials with pictures might help). If it does have to go to a service center can anyone recommend one I can post it to in the UK and generally how much does a unbricking service cost?
Apologies if I've missed any pertinent forum posts, but I have had a real good look around and kind of given up now, so any help would be be very much appreciated!
Thanks in advance for any assistance!
Try recovery mode and clear cache partition and dalvik if you can...

I cant enter recovery mode as the phone wont turn on
Try another usb port, and never a hub...

Tried two different cables but from the back USB port of my PC and no dice.
So, i' afraid, you have an expensivo brick

It does indeed look that way
I've ordered a USB from ebay and hoping that will bring it back from the dead, hopefully worth the £1.25. Can anyone answer the following question. What is the experience between soft bricked and hard bricked? do they both appear with a black screen, or does softbrick still boot but doesn't enter download mode.
Also does anyone know where I can find the stock firmware (Ginerbread) for the Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-i9070P (on Orange UK)? tried looking but I'm going to need this if the JIG does indeed work!
Thanks in advance!

Excuse me but the I9070 and I9070p are NOT the Galaxy Ace but the S Advance. Take a look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=2099

Your absolutely correct, apologies for the confusion :/
Please can the moderator change the thread title to "[Q] Bricked Samsung Galaxy S Advance GT-I9070P" and move to "Samsung Galaxy S Advance I9070 > Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting"
For the firmware package, look for it at sammobile.com. Firmware section. There you can choose your model name and, luckily, download the pack... Just extract it and flash with ODIN

Thanks. Do you know if the GT-I9070P share a generic model number? I’ve looked at sammobile firmware and there are no firmwares for the GT-I9070?
It should have an GT I9070P firmware section... If not, try google friend

Seems like your phone unfortunately is a hard brick. The reason I think this is because one it doesn't respond to anything. Two the USB jig didn't work and three seeing as you thought that your phone was the Galaxy Ace it is most likely you flashed a Galaxy Ace rom which hard bricked your phone as it isn't meat for your phone.

Yes, this is what happened
what i should do now
It could be some screwed up partitions but like the poster above me told you if you indeed did delete your bootloader the only way to fix it is with a riff box. I reccommend that you try reflashing the recovery the way you flashed it before and then try booting into recovery if you have any more problems pm me.

i trying to reflash but i have problem in "enable usb debugging "

You can't use usb debugging when your phone doesn't power on. But it seems like you haven't deleted the bootloader partition but most likely wiped your system partition. Can you enter your recovery?

Like you said the USB Jig and download mode are for Samsung phone. Let me search around for a program like Odin for your phone and come back to you.

Try reading this or your last resort could be taking it back to Vodafone if you have warranty and say that it stopped turning on one day and act dumb. Don't tell them that you rooted and played around with it and you might get a replacement.

Hi,
Could you recover bootloader? I am also having same issue. I tried to unlock v860 mobile and when I rebooted after installing ROM my device is not booting at all.
So, have you checked devicemanager in Windows when you connect your phone with usb? Is there an unidentified driver?
Sent from my S500 using xda app-developers app
I have the same problem. I deleted bootloader from recovery. And yes on device manager it shows for about 5 sec as an unknown device. Tested win xp and win 7
Well after so many times am posting mostly just to bump this thread and seeing if anyone found a solution for this.
I still have my Smart II V860 after 1 year not working and kinda tried anything to repair it.
Was trying to put a new custum Rom to it that time and must have done something wrong at it and when did a reboot
phone got stuck on the android logo. Since then nothing worked to bring it back.
PC doesnt recognize it. If you go to device manager sometimes shows it as a modem for a few sec and just that.
Cant flash anything new couse ADB and Fastboot commands dont work couse Pc doesnt recognize the Device when conneced even why
have the right installation files for V860 while ADB is working fine with other phone i use.
I also did a home made USB Jig for it but prolly works only on Samsung devices becouse when i used it V860 just restarts
and still on Android logo and yet not recognized on fastboot or ADB.
Vodafone in here doesnt accept it for repair couse 1 year garanty contract has passed and some private mobile service companies i have tried
have not found a solution.
Looks mostly a hardbrick then softbrick to me but really dont know if anything else left to do about it.
