Please help - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

After I flashed the dragon Jellybean on my tmo gs3. It's totally dead. No response. I can't even get into the download mode. Please help. Battery is charged. I just got the gs3 today. Anyone please help, thank you.

Firstly, you have posted this in the wrong section, and looks like you didnt search either
if i remember correctly, the T-Mobile Galaxy SIII is not the International i9300...so you have flashed a firmware that is not compatible with your phone
You may have to send it back...

No, it's US version.
Anyone knows how to unbrick it?

I would suggest looking in the T-Mobile Galaxy SIII section

In this case only with a JIG it is possible to go into download mode.

Do you know how to go download mode? It is volume down + power button + home button. If it is really fail to do so, try to connect to pc what happen, does the device response? Don't panic, forum is your friend.

Yes this member is correct the forum is your friend if you cannot get into download mode manually buy a jig 99c on ebay that should work then flash stock. And only download roms from the correct forum hope this works for you.

Thank you guys for not flaming. :victory:
OP, questions belong in the Q&A section and not development section. Thank you.

I would also try taking it back to the store, simply saying that it just won't boot. I have a feeling they might just give you a new one right away. If they ask whether you have modified it somehow, just pretend like you're stupid and don't know what they're talking about.
That's what I would do.
But then again, I'm a bad guy and have no shame. I don't know about you.

What I meant to say is nothing should be done to this phone if you don't want to use the search button. This thread is not needed if OP did a simple search.
It cannot be rooted or unlocked without using the search button on these forums and reading the sticky threads that have been made sticky for a reason.

Hey, he waited a whole week to resurrect this thread with his erroneous info. Mad props!
These people are posting all bullcrap. dude i jus rooted + unlocked my sgh i777 couple of days before. Trust me its working perfect and it hardly requires 10 mins to root+unlock it. its a very easy procedure once you have the Odin 1.85 app and a pc and GalaxyS Unlock app by Helroz..you can find it at android market. its really an easy procedure.

I'm not trying to be rude, but you seriously shouldn't be flashing anything to your device until you're able to take the 3 minutes it takes to read the OP of the thread dude. It very clearly states that you need to flash gapps along with the from itself.

Are the S3 from carriers unlocked, in particular Orange?

Perhaps you should have bothered to read that this is the SGH-I777 forum before flashing, not the SGH-I727 forum? Flashing anything meant for I777 on I727 will kill the bootloaders and hardbrick the device. JTAG time for you - mobiletechvideos.com can probably help you.

[Q] My S4 won't turn off!!

Guys I need help here. I just rooted my phone (Samsung Galaxy S4 I9500), and it was fine for a few hours...but now it just wont turn off.
Even when the screen times out.
Even when I press the power button.
It will just stay on no matter what. (Interestingly, long pressing the power button does bring up the power dialogue!)
I did not flash any Custom ROM. I did not even install any recovery! The only tinkering I did was Setting cpu speed using Tasker...
Guys please help...I'm in trouble...
If the kernel you used is uncompatible or if its a stock kernel,you will get issues,also if you set the frequency to high for your phone,it will give issues,Look @ this.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1727171

Tried It All
I tried restarting the phone. Nothing happened. I removed the battery and re inserted. Nothing happened.
, I decided to factory reset. I lost root, but the kernel stuck...Aaaarrrggghhhh.
Problem still persisting.
Umm by battery pull, do you mean removing the battery while the phone is on?
(Update: Trying removing the battery while the phone was on...didn't help)
Thankfully, I've got the S View cover...So most of the screen is black, just the time, etc are on...
Further help...
Could anyone please give a link to the stock firmware for galaxy s4 i9500?

Like, if I flash it, I unroot my device, and it becomes like before?
