[Q] I think I've bricked my att GS3 and need help - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've taken on a bit more than qualified I guess as I rooted my att GS3 just fine and flashed a new aokp rom and was up and running but started to have intermitent flickering. It prompted me to reflash rom with CM10 and this is were my problems began. I wiped data/factory reset, cache partition,Dalvik cache, mounts & storage format cache, and accidentally format emmc which I think is my problem. I was able to still reboot to CWM recovery but I can't do much more than that, and now I can't get to CWM recovery mode at all. Have tried to boot and reflash from ex/sdcard no good. PC doesn't recognize phone to do recovery from backup and I didn't do internal backup which I now know was dumb. Is there anything I can do to get back up and running or did I screw myself and have to get a new phone? PLEASE HELP HELP HELP!!!!!!!!!

Buddy... first your phone is ATT GS3. and this forum is for INTERNATIONAL GS3. so if you flashed the rom downloaded from THIS forum than might be possible... the correct forum for your device is here:

I hope and pray your phone will be ok... I love this device...

[Q] Internal SD card not working

I decided i did not want my phone encrypted any more so i did a factory reset via clockworkmod recovery.
When it rebooted everything was fine except the internal sd is not mounted and i havent found a way to mount it i think it might be a problem with encrypting it.
How can i fix this?
Rooted Samsung Galaxy s2 GT-I9100
Rom=CyanogenMod 1.1.0
I can boot into Recovery and Download

Thanks Anyway

Soft bricked.. I guess :s

I had ICS.. backed with titanium and upgraded to JB with Liquidsmooth's rom... however I failed to read that titanium backedup contacts couldn't restore from ICS to JB... after reinstalling Liquidsmooth I thought the error might be with the ROM so I installed Omega's JB rom... nice bootscreen... pity it stayed in a bootloop... I then reinstalled it from cwm after removing the battery (a few times) and getting into recovery.... however it remained the same...
so.. I get into odin.. PDA -> ChainFire's "CF-SGS3-CWM-v5.5-v1.5.tar" worried that all I've don'e is put a ics kernal into a JB rom... I boot into recovery and install an old (possibly original root) ROM... now it boots past the animated logo just stays on the static -Samsung- logo... I can boot into odin.. not tried to boot into recovery...
but I don't have a recovery rom... (I have searched)...
could someone point me in the right direction please
Thanks
Have you tried wiping cache and dalvik, maybe try factory reset.
If all that fails this is what I do:
Boot into recovery
Go to mounts and storage
Format cache, System, data and internal sd card. (of course you will lose all data)
Then flash a full stock firmware package through Odin.
Done

I found a stock 4.04 (ICS) rom... still soft bricked... I'll wipe everything except internal SD card... see if that works.. else guess I got no other option :s... I am pretty much backed up so I'm not completely fussed.. but I know there will be something that was missed...
didn't have to do a full wipe... but when I power-off it still reboots... I have to remove battery to power off?
Just do a wipe from Recovery, often the problem then not.

[Q] Help with bricked phone/bootloop.

Whenever I boot my phone I am greeted with a "Encryption Failed" message. I am new to this kind of thing, but from what I can see, the phone is not finding the internal storage. When I try to mount /data it fails, and if I try to load a .zip from sd card it says it can't mount /emmc/.
If I flash a different rom onto the phone it still has the same issues. I've tried everything I can find in these forums and nothing works. I'm about to give up, so any help would be appreciated.
Are you rooted?
Anyway, just flash a stock rom if u are bricked

Bootloop tried everything help! I'm new!!

I am at a lose for what to do here.
I re installed peach sunrise on my Rooted Samsung Exhibit 2 to sell.
Did everything I had done before, but this time it is stuck in boot loop.
I've wiped cache, rom, dalvik, cache/dalvik, and data as someone told me to do.
Then re installed the rom.
Restart it up and bam boot look once again.
I've done this a million times..
HELP ME!
Perhaps I'm just doing it wrong? I haven't a clue. Anyone know how to fix this right now?
It can't be this hard..
Download the stock rom of your phone, wipe your whole phone, flash the stock rom via odin on pc while your device is connected to it.
Once installed wipe all your caches and restart the phone.
Now install the custom rom you wanted.
I hope this helps!
Sincerely,
Rareme.
