I hard-bricked my phone - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

OK SO I TRIED TO FLASH THIS ROM FROM THIS THREAD http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2115775
IM USING A SAMSUNG GALAXY S3 FROM T-MOBILE
NOW MY PHONE IS TOTALLY DEAD, THE SCREEN WONT TURN ON, THE JIG WONT PUT IT IN DOWNLOAD MODE
AND NOW WHEN I PLUG IT INTO THE COMPUTER IT ASK ME FOR THIS DRIVER " QHSUSB_DLOAD "
PLEASE HELP ME :crying:

Is that t mobile Europe or America?

First use normal fonts .
Second do you actually have an I9300 .
Totally dead then it requires you to visit a service centre .

the america one

Then you don't have an i9300 and in all likelihood you have bricked badly, possible hard brick.

Non if no download mode and no recovery mode .
Possible cheapest repair is a JTag repair depends upon what is damaged .

Best bet is to go to your forum and ask advice there.....take it from me....you aren't the first and you won't be the last.....sorry to have been the bearer of bad tidings

JTag repair

Take it easy and look around........ http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1706

It doesn't really matter. If phone won't even boot up then bootloader is bricked. If bootloader is bricked then you can't do anything with that as it won't even boot.

If you can't go to download mode, you have a chance with a USB jig, but you will more than likely have to JTag it.
You sure you have an I9100? Check the model on the label under your battery.

I9100G is not the same as I9100. You'll definitely need to JTag it.
In the future, don't try to install I9100 firmware and kernels to your I9100G.

i live in mumbai
isnt it available in market??

buying a usb jig is better than giving it to the service center?? which will cost more??

You can easily make a JIG yourself, it will cost you under 1US dollar to make it. the "Google broken" question means, that nobody can help you more than yourself, search for answers not for people to answer it, most of the problems have been talked about somewhere in this forum or in other ones, so use google...! XD
You can find a lot of tutorials of how to make your own JIG, google, youtube, any search engine bar you have... GOOD LUCK...
If you for any instance need a JTAG, talk to connexion2005, he'll help you to solve it. Solutions are not free though.
Hope some of this helps.
Goto service center and tell them mobile stopped working suddenly after restart. Dont tell anything about flashing etc. If it is under warranty, they will do it for free.
Once it is fixed, stay away from I9100 ROMS,kernels etc, and got to I9100G section.
i dont have a original usb of galaxy s2...i bought another one from market...will it be okay for making a jig....??
i saw the video bt i didnt understand that at which points should i connect the two wires in the usb....can someone explain me that...plz

the video guide I have linked in previouse post is explaining it very clearly ..we cant explain better than it...
there is one pin inside the micro USB male connector kept free I think pin 4 and you have to connect pin 4 with 300k resistor between pin no. 5 ...
take help of sombody has experiance with electronic repairing/soldering etc..

"just" ? note 2 touch screen values are quite different from S3. so now the touch screen won't work until you give it in the service center. but can you enter download mode?

Ah well better return it to stock before sending it for repair. You'll need a mouse and otg cable to reset the flash counter using triangle away if the custom binary counter says 1 in download mode.

If you haven't backed up your EFS, generally the phone needs to be sent for repair.

warranty is over date. Please help me to give any info that might help.
Samsung generally offer a two year warranty .
If you failed to backup EFS then first try flashing stock firmware .
Fails then search read the multiple EFS/ IMEI posts on here as some claim to have fixed .

Simple lazy boy method .
Take it to a service centre you cannot repair an IMIE /EFS with no backup .
you do have a habit of breaking phones judged by previous posts so let some one with some skill fix it

If you do that you will probably end up paying for a new motherboard, take the advice you've been given and pay for the repair - or not, it's your choice.
