I rooted my GS3, tried to upload a new ROM, finished installing the ROM and hit reboot and it bricked. My PC wont pick it up, neither will Kies and neither will a toolkit. My PC makes connections sounds when I press the power button, but it wont turn on and my PC wont recognize it. Please help me!
Ok, slow down and explain exactly what Rom you where trying to install, and the installation steps you took for a start

it was the revolt ROM from this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2035365.
it came with a set up wizard which i thought was strange. i went through all the steps that it asked for. then at the end it had a reboot now button and i clicked it. it then powered off and never came back on. when i plug it into the computer it makes a sound like it connected, but then it says the driver failed to install. the driver that it lists is QHSUSB_DLOAD. i downloaded that driver manually from the samsung website and it still says its not found.
when i plug in the phone to a charger without the battery in, the red light comes on for about 1 minute and then turns off. that's as far as ive gotten so far.
Will it boot into recovery?
---------- Post added at 08:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:32 AM ----------
If it does, try wiping cache and dalvik cache and try reboot, failing that you might have to try wiping data
---------- Post added at 08:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:33 AM ----------
Did you format system before you flashed the Rom?

It will not boot at all. I have tried all the different key combinations. I did not format system but I did choose to wipe data and cache in Rom manager when I said to install from sd.
So you tried to install it via Rom manager?

yes. And then when it rebooted it took me into the wizard to install it step by step. Then at the very end when it said to reboot now, The screen went black and it never turned on again.

I've tried those combinations. It doesn't turn the phone on, but when it's plugged in to the computer and I do that it makes a sound as if a device has been plugged in. Then it fails downloading the driver and doesn't show up. Not even in the adb toolkit.

I forgot to mention that my s3 model is the i747 one if that makes any difference.
Anything you do with help from this forum might damage your phone beyond repair. Better ask in the Q&A sub-forum under AT&T, Rogers, Bell Samsung Galaxy S3 forum.

Yes I tried taking the battery out and that didn't work either. I flashed that Rom because I didn't think there was a difference. Does this mean I'm screwed?

I'm sorry, but it kinda seem you are.
Your device's SKU is not the same as i9300 ones.
You installed the Rom of one device to another, it can easily hard brick your cell which it might have.
nothing you can do now beside sending it in

Could a Samsung service center fix it? They probably can't tell it's rooted right?
Also, I have a dual boot of Linux on my laptop. Would there be a better chance of Linux recognizing the device?
they can't "fix" it, they'll replace the motherboard. they won't tell if it's rooted. Linux is not better. have you tried a usb jig?

Alright a few questions:
what is a USB jig?
how much do they charge to replace a motherboard?
if they ask me if its rooted should I lie and say no?
also, I think its under warranty, but would rooting it void it and could they tell?
motherboard replacement is around $350. Lying would be insurance fraud, so I can't give you any advice here. They might decline warranty if they find out you're rooted.
And to find out what a USB jig is you can use Google

Hi there
I have a problem with my Samsung s2.
I have installed kies nor any other software on my pc to sync my phone to it. i don't even know how kies works...
I was going through the phone and under system i saw the update option...i updated the phone and the firmware too...after about 3-4 installations and reboots the phone got stuck on the start up screen...i tried hard reboot by holding the power+volume up+menu/OK keys - Nothing happened
then i deleted all my files from the sd card but that dint help either. Then i saw a video on youtube about clockworkmod... i followed that and after doing so the phone now goes to start up screen with a yellow triangle. when i try installing the ROM from odin it fails. Since then i got an icon showing that there is an error on the connectivity between the phone and the computer...i ran the clockworkmod again using odin and the phone returned to start up screen with a yellow triangle. The phone only goes to download mode but doesn't go to recovery/clockworkmod anymore (power+volume up+menu/OK buttons).
Another weird thing is that the phone doesn't turn off, as in if i press the power button for about 5 seconds the screen goes off but turn back on again...so if i have to reboot the phone i have to completely remove the battery n put it back in. when connected to the computer i don't see any storage drives on my computer only Odin detects the phone.
Please help me...
Thanks
Abbas
first try if you dont have a jig, remove battery and put back then Vol-down+Home+power...once you get download mod
Try a stock GB version on the ODIN from the link of All stock roms in my signature
make sure KIES is not running...and connected your phone directly to your PC motherbord USB socket, not through any hub or front USB socket...
better you give a full description of your problem like "soft bricked" instead of just "Q" on the heading, so that other can see at a glance...
Hi Zaheed,
Sorry about the heading...i actually accidentally posted this thread without the heading and now i cant see where i can edit it.
I will try what you have suggested and will revert to you.

Your keystr file is likely missing from the /efs/imei/ folder. The fix is out there, been discussed dozens and dozens and dozens of times... search for it. You'll need root to do the fix though.

For this:
- make sure USB is plugged into main board USB port, not a hub or keyboard
- try different main board USB ports
- try different USB cables
- uninstall/reinstall Kies (just for drivers - unless you have stand alone drivers installed)
- last resort, try a different computer
Failing all those, your port may be going bad. Does it charge?

Are you rooted? If your efs folder is completely empty, I think that either means you don't have permission to read it (which may mean you're not rooted), OR, the other possibility is that when you flashed to ICS, you also chose to wipe EFS. Which is a BAD BAD BAD idea. I'm surprised you can even make a phone call.

But here's one thing I just remembered about you can try.
On your dialer, enter code *#7284#. This brings up your PhoneUtil screen.
Should have UART and USB sections. Ignore the UART section.
USB section SHOULD be set to PDA. If it is not, set it to PDA. If it IS, change it to MODEM, then BACK to PDA. Then back out of the screen, reboot, and try again.

Please help if you can...Thank you!
To bypass activation screen, go to emergency call, press *#83786633.
Then press the home key and it should bypass it. I think you need to do this after every reboot.

Is there a difference between Odin Multi Downloader and regular Odin? Why don't you try Odin 1.85 and see if that works. I'm a noobie too so I'm not sure if I can help.

That would be a quick fix if I could get to the dialpad, the screen is black with picture of a phone, yellow sign and computer because I was in the middle of imaging the phone when it failed the process thats all it has every time I turn it on and nothing else. I try to use different USB cable in different computers and no luck and none of those systems would detect the phone. My question was if there is a way to use the SD card to do the reimage instead of the USB and if there it is not, this phone will be absolute and I'm sure you gurus in here have a way to fix my problem.
Thank you!
Pull the battery
hold down volume down button
plug in usb cable
that should put you in download mode
Have Odin up and re flash your file using PDA

Am back with this phone again and I hate to let it go...the phone is totally blank when I turn it on all I see is the little phone sign with the yellow explanation mark in the middle and the computer sign and this is all I get. hopefully somebody will tell me how to put the software back and where to get the image software for it.
Thank you!
It appears that I've hard bricked my Vibrant T959. In the middle of flashing using ODIN, it crapped out for whatever reason. I cant get into download mode or recovery mode any more. Really having a tough time finding a solution to my problem. I've come across plenty of people with soft bricked phones, alas no luck in finding a solution for my problem.
I've looked into the Unbrickable Mod and it's predominantly overwhelming. I dont believe a USB dongle would help here (maybe I'm wrong...hopefully I'm wrong). Can anyone help me out?
Any advice or tips is greatly appreciated!
Unless you screwed the bootloaders during the flash (were you flashing bootloaders?), a dongle is going to work. And it is much cheaper/easier than any more invasive solution.

Thanks for your reply! If I'm not mistaken I was flashing a Kernel at the time. So if that's the case, you'd think there's a chance if I bought the dongle?

I would give a dongle a high probability of success.

Okay this time around I have a solution for your problem...
As i mentioned in the previous post my phone was not turning on or anything at all so here are the steps I followed...
1 - download ODIN
2 - download the .pit and .tar files
3 - make sure your phone drivers are installed on the PC you are using.
4 - open ODIN and load the .pit file and .tar file (PDA for .tar file)
5 - Plug in the USB cable into the PC
6 - remove the battery from the phone
7 - Hold down VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN simultaneously
8 - Plug in the usb into the phone
9 - reinsert the battery into the phone and hold the volume keys until your phone is in download mode
10 - wait for a yellow box to appear in ODIN (0:COM11) something like that, means your phone is ready
11 - Click start and be patient, shouldn't take a long time though... you should see the green progress bar in ODIN...
I hope these steps help someone who is in a similar position, let me know if i can be on any further assistance.
Goodluck.

Thanks for your input and help, I'm sure these steps will help someone. But this will not work for me as I'm not able to put the phone into download mode for ODIN to read and recognize my device.
My march goes on...

I overnighted a dongle off Amazon last night and just received it this morning. Unfortunately, no dice. It has not put the phone into download mode. I tested the dongle on a s SGSII to confirm that the dongle wasn't DOA or something and worked flawlessly on that device.
My search continues...
I am Not sure if you have tried this option already or not but you might want to look into 1 click unbrick, just search it on google and maybe that will work out for you if you haven't already tried it
good luck

No luck. Tried it yesterday to no avail. Thanks for the ideas anyways NSingh95!
Sounds like you just need to flash a new kernel but you would need to be in recovery or download mode to do so. Have you checked to see if gingerbread boot combos work? Hold only volume up and turn the phone on, maybe you have gingerbread bootloaders and don't know it ha.

I have tried various combinations of buttons in hopes of getting it into download mode. No luck with any of them. If I could just get it into said download mode it would be very easy to reflash a proper kernel. No luck yet.
I'm on the same boat. Yesterday after downgrading to stock eclair, I was trying to upgrade thru Kies mini. Everything was looking good, it went up to 100% but when it was supposed to reboot my phone, nothing happened. It's completely dead, no lights, no power, no nothing. I had a similar problem last year, but I was still able to put my phone in download mode by pulling the battery and plugging it in to the USB cable. I tried volume up + down, volume up + power, volume down + power, volume up + down + power. I think I tried everything already with no luck. I hope somebody can come up with a solution.

You have a hard bricked phone, its basically a paper weight now. NEVER use kies to upgrade your phone, it ruins more phones than it helps. You can try calling samsung and telling them that their program Kies has hard bricked your phone, I have seen a few people get lucky and get a free replacement.

Have you tried button combos while the usb jig is plugged in? My phone doesn't jump to download mode with a jig either. Try getting into download mode the normal way but instead of inserting usb cable while holding buttons, insert usb jig. Worth a try....

yes.
I tried to flash supersu from twrp and since then I'm stuck in bootloader (couldn't unlock bootloader due to fastboot not seeing the phone). I still can get to recovery, but can't boot up the system.
Alcatel's Mobile Upgrade Q doesn't work for me either (tried on 2 different PC's).
I hope restoring clean non-rooted boot/system will help, if somebody can share the backup files.

Which Mobile Upgrade Q are you using? Try to use 5.0.3 version. Tried both on my 64bit Windows 10 and 7 for my 5051x Optus locked phone. But you need to manually put your phone to download mode (while your phone completely off, press all volume up + volume down + power), then plug in your phone, start the program and follow the prompt.
Had to reflash my phone numerous time, because supersu seems to brick the phone, while kingroot lost its root every reboot.

which driver do you have installed? (what shows up in device manager?) When the phone is in download mode, my PC doesn't detect it. after several seconds the phone exits download mode, and then gets detected, but it doesn't auto-install any driver, so I have to manually choose something.
Still, if someone could send me full backup from TWRP, I could try to restore it on the phone and get it working this way.

Can you upload your twrp backup, or at least your stock recovery pleeease? I really need it since this is my work phone and it should be as stock as it came when they check it.
