I think I've bricked my device, somehow lost IMEI and put phone into factory mode, wifi doesn't work, the same goes for mobile networking. I restored original system. The phone boots just fine, all the apps work as they should except those that need internet connection. I'd like to give it back to where I bought it from but in Odin mode you can see that the custom binary download is yes (10 counts). In other words I'd appreciate it if you told me what to do to return the device and get it fixed or replaced. In order to reset the counter I tried to run triangle away but after running the app I'm told to download additional data which I can't do because wi-fi doesn't work. The phone is in factory mode and I have no idea how to switch it to user mode. I'm so hopeless that I even started considering microwaving it. Thank you for any input.

@OP, lets just get this straight. You want help, but you are constantly abusing and being rude to the people who are helping you so who in their right mind would help you?
Glebun is right, search is the answer. I don't even own the SIII and yet a quick google or use of XDA's own search engine pulls up tons of threads that are relevant to your situation. I'm not posting the relevant threads here because I don't believe in spoon feeding.

Try the attached Triangle Away . I never heard that Triangle Away needs to download additional data before. Also your description is very vague. How is your phone hardbricked if it`s still powering on? Also you can use Apps? So you can boot into Android? I don`t quite understand what the problem is. So your efs folder is missing and now you want to give it back to the service center for repair but you want to reset the counter first?

I assume that it's hard bricked because I've tried pretty much everything and the phone is still in factory mode, IMEI is unknown, wi-fi and mobile networking don't work. I figured that the only thing left is to give it back and that's why I want to reset the counter. When I run your triangle away it says: "Triangle Away requires an add-on to be able to work on this device. Do you want to download and install this add-on?" I'd love to do that but it's not possible in my device's condition. Thank you for the input.

It's not hard bricked.
You have lost your efs, do you have backup of efs folder?

It shows AT&T and keeps rebooting.. over and over. I have no idea if they will exchange it due to it being a t-mobile phone.
Maybe Try the jig
Not sure I know enough about the real issue other than you got the wrong rom. But, there is a jig you can make 301k resistor (or combo of a few to equal that number) soldered to a usb connector on # 4 & 5 pins look it up it will unbrick the phone and get you into the phone from there I not sure what you will need to do next but that would get you into the phone. Btw the resistors and usb cord less than 5 bucks good luck
Dude, you are being childish. I usually never flame but don't say you did because you didn't Enough. Slow down and take your time. If you are doing any kind of mods you should learn how to use Odin first, but unfortunately its always after the fact.
Learn how to use Odin, in the development bible I have a video there to show you how. Doesn't get any easier than that.

You are completely right. I was "trigger happy" you may say and I did it by rushing through it and ruined my phone. Luckily I have not yet sold my 3Gs and could use that until I get tmobile to exchange it.
The jig would most likely work for my case but I would need a step by step guide which unfortunately didn't find with images or video.
If I could just kill the AT&T boot logo it'd be perfect but sadly I can't.
I got the phone two days ago..so I am really sure I can get away with an exchange.
If you return the phone and it is booting with the At&t logo they will now you where messing with it and charge you the full amount of the phone which is around $400.
What you have is a soft brick. You can fix it if you bothered reading. Just follow this:

I wish mine was a soft brick but it isn't. That thread was for "phone ! PC" mine is a tmo vibrant that boot loops as AT&T captive since I flashed the wrong stock kernel.
Remove battery, SIM card and the external SD card.
Connect USB cord
Hold down both volume keys and insert the battery.
I love how everyone gives the same reply. The phone WAS FULLY BRICKED.
I took it to T-Mobile and said I did an update and this is what happened and they gave me a brand spanking new one! =D

You have flashed a rom for a different phone. The rom you flashed is for Galaxy S not Galaxy S II..
I have read a thread similar like this before but
for what I can remember his phone is permanently bricked. You might want to search

i don't know how i missed that. could you tell me what jtag is? is it the same as a jig?
thanks.
Yes it is totally bricked. Unless you have chance and want to try something. The USB jig to put i9000 and i9100 phone in download is the same ( Both use 151k oHms). If you try to use a jig on your phone you might be able to put it back on download mode. However, i would doubt that it work. Since you don't have the good Bootloader on your phone, i'm more like 97% sure it wont work. The black screen only is also a good sign of death. Sry to ear that. JTag is not the same thing than the jig btw. JTag is how they put the first information, at factory, on your phone. It can be used to put back the good bootloader on your phone. But if i remember well, only phone compagnie ( On this case Samsung) and a few person have what it take to make a JTag.

Thats from the creator of the i9000 ROM you just flashed.
Your phone is 100% bricked, just wondering why did you flash an i9000 ROM on a i9100 ROM, thats not only the wrong phone, but you also added a PIT files with Odin which also is not good for the i9100, and this ROM contains bootloaders.
its 100% bricked, however there is light at the end of the tunnel. A good friend of mine at Mobile Tech Videos can fix your phone 100%
hes the only guy that can do this around the world, only does it for 50 dollars, and he can guarantee fix your phone.
Just dont do this again, maybe next time flash DlevROM

I mean this guy is 100% trusted, and email him if you have questions.
hes the best bet for getting it back fast, and working.
Samsung will most likely play games, take longer, and ask you how this happened.
its your choice, but hes 100% legit, you dont have to use him Im just saying this is the best bet for saving you
Maybe if is better to send it to Samsung and let them figure it out.
If they ask what happened, just tell them that you left it on charger snd a few hours after it was dead. After all i doubt that theg can get info from inside the phone.
They will make a clean flash plus bootloaders.
That is what would i have done.

the reason why you should send it to dlev's friends shop to get it fixed instead of samsung is if samsung finds out what you did to the phone, they will probably charge you an arm and a leg for it...

Hello.
Lets make it quick.
I always used odin to flash FW's via the PDA option.
But then i found a "I9100XXLP2_I9100OXALP2_OXA" (an ICS rom, yes ) on www.sammobile.com.
Downloaded the FW and what was new for me it was in few separate files.
- GT-I9100-MULTI-CSC-OXALP2.tar
- I9100_CODE_I9100XXLP2_CL57619_REV02_user_low_ship.tar
- MODEM_I9100XXLP1_REV_02_CL1095381.tar
Since i didnt knew what to do with these exactly i've got a guide from sammobile.com as well.
like this:

So i placed my files, the same
(yes i know theres no that "yellow" thingy in the first bracket)
http://s11.postimage.org/6x732wx9f/odin.jpg
pressed START and odin began to repartition.
The weird thing it took over 20mins and still nothing was going on.

Probably. No download mode & I presume Odin doesn't recognise the phone when you hook it up to a PC ? Might as well try a jig but I'd be surprised if it worked.
Back to Samsung or a 3rd party JTAG repairer.
Is that an I9000 .pit in the screenshot? Looks like you've hosed your device with the wrong partition layout.

That's not gonna work, unless the service center is on full on retard mode
Why I say that? Because when an update goes wrong, the worst that can happen is a soft brick, and a hard brick is only achievable by either messing up a botloader flash or a repartition flash...
Could you not get away with saying you had a power cut as you were flashing the update through kies or would that not do the same sort of damage?

WELL WELL the service centre i used is on full retard mode because I've just got away with it, so unless you tried
And I've seen a bunch of people on here over the last 4 mths who haven't 'got away' with it. Ergo, if you don't return the phone to stock firmware & reset the flash counter, you're taking pot luck basically.

Nothing illegal has been done so the worst they can do is refuse to repair it and charge a small fee to cover admin & courier to return it. I don't know about Samsung but for HTC thats about £30.
What they would probably do is say thay the warranty has been invalidated and give a quote to repair it. If you didn't want it repaired then they would return it on payment of the small fee mentioned above.

ALRIGHT! My SGS2 just came home! Just like new one! Updated too!
So im recommending http://mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com/ site to everyone who had bricked their phones!
It came back after 3 weeks, and the price was fair!
CHEERS! ^^
Congrats mate. SGSII is amazing.
My brother went and flashed a custom international rom. He doesnt remember which one, not that I think it matters at this point. Ive flashed many roms, I've even bricked a few phones, but with alot of reading on the xda site, and all the help from dev's have always unbricked my phone. His samsung doesnt turn on, does not go into recovery or into download mode. Ive tried taking the battery out holding both + - vol then usb then battery. nothing. When plugged into usb without battery, light turns on, when plugged into comp , comp starts looking for a driver, so i dont think its complety bricked yet, but it comes back with this message QHSUSb_dload. Ive read up on other phones on this message, any help with how to solve this. thanks

If he's seeing QHSUSB DLOAD its hard bricked. From what I've seen looking into this, I believe some HTC's have been able to be recovered from this mode but its not possible for us w/o JTAG. Someone correct me if I'm wrong and shed some light on the subject if they have any. Very intrigued by this and think that somehow an unbrick could be done with this with the right tools/knowloedge

I looked at my the dev section there is no fix that I could find. So I posted the question in the proper samsung galaxy section. I dont believe there is a solution yet aside from sending it in. A few posts here and there touched base on it but I dont think anyone yet on here has eff'd there phones up to this point. Ive went through every samsung section to see if there were any similar post and nothing has really touched base, on it or ive triied it.

Yes I found four posts about the similar qhsusb dload, and also read about jtag, already gave my brother the website url, to contact about sending the thing in. I just havent been able to find a solution on here.
well ill have to find and reread the stuff i saw abt the htc's cuz if im not mistaken some were actually made unbrickable because of this. i was able to install drivers, and talk to the phone with a couple of things, including odin but it just hung as i expected it to. I think something could be done with this, dont seem like the typical hardbrick. let a couple more people brick this thing, if its possible someone will figure it out

I believe this is the post your talking about. Anyways I just can't believe the broski actually bricked his phone, I trully thought it was damn near impossible. amazing
It is never impossible to brick a device. This is why one should know what they are doing before they do it. I mean really, he doesn't even know what rom he flashed? Flashing a device is not for everyone nor should everyone do it. If you don't understand what your doing then don't do it.

Well, the best thing to do would be to go to the sprint section and look at mskip's sticky with his toolkit, and load the qualcomm drivers. it's an ugly situation, but that's your best lead.

Ya I did that about 4 hours ago, in my devices and printers, in now says QHSUSB_DLOAD is working properly. Yet I cant get it to connect to the toolkit, to odin, I cant even find the phone with cmd. it makes a noise everytime you plug it in to the comp, well the comp does and it searches for drivers and installs them, they all installed correctly the first time aside from the one above that was fixed. Thanks though for the help, I really appreciate it.
If no other solutions work, a JTAG repair WILL unbrick your device. MobileTech Videos (www.mobiletechvideos.com) offers JTAG repair for the SGS3. I've used them to purchase a download mode jig and they have fast turn around times, great customer service, and excellent service. You really can't go wrong using them. Hope it all works out and you can get your device unbricked.
Let us know how you hard bricked it so we can do that when we need to get our phone warranty replaced without customer service seeing the custom flashed counter!

Either this is your weak attempt at humour or you never read the entire thread, like I said in on the first page, He flashed a international rom. I dont need to recap the entire 2 pages, the fact that you posted that comment, like why would anyone want to brick their phone for warrenty if its working fine. just stupid. I appreciate your meaningless contribution to a site where some people try to learn a thing or 2. I would suggest you try taking the site more seriously. And if you cant, have some respect for the people that do. thanks again. take care
They control my phone completely. A factory reset from the phone, a hard reset by holding the buttons and a reset done by typing in the number code all dont erase the hackers stuff. Its like they took over the stock firmware of my phone or something. How can I completely erase everything from this phone? Or do I just have to throw this thing away now? They've also similarly took over my Asus Transformer tablet.
Can anyone help me?
You're done for. Stupid hackers got you too, huh? You should mail both to me.

Lol, if you're serious, the perfect solution would be to flash a stock firmware over the existing one.

First off, what's hacked and how do you know you've been hacked? Then you have to find out how they hacked you. Was it thru an app? Thru Wi-Fi? Did you login on a false webpage like the common Facebook hack?
If you believe you've been hacked change ALL your passwords to EVERYthing. Even Wi-Fi passwords. Make sure you do it from a different device or pc. preferably using https. Then wipe everything possible. Internal, external storage, cookies etc.....

How do you flash the stock firmware? I dont know anything about this stuff..
An example of how they control my phone is if I download an anti-virus app, they turn off it's monitoring and give it permissions to send texts, access my personal data, make phone calls, etc.

I don't believe you even own a Note. But props for trolling an otherwise untrolled forum. I'm sure many people will try to talk you through your problem.
Iw99 we need more info if you are not a troll please provide phone model, operating system where you are located when this problem started apps you are using are you using any bootleg apps the more info you provide the better.

He might be saying "I have a phone with a lockscreen password I don't know (because it isnt mine) and I want to completely erase everything so I can have a fresh phone".
440 I don't think everyone is a crook but I can usually spot a red herring from a long distance.
I really don't think you have been hacked but you have glitches in your rom

What numbers did they call? Can you hear the phone calls? Can you read the texts that they send? Do they send nude pics?

Ref 440 - I applaud your faith in your fellow man. That is rare in today's post-naiveté world, and should be treasured. But as far as this story goes, either incredibly incompetence or lying is involved... But NOT hacking. Just not consistent. Hacking can sometimes be hard to spot, and then only through exhaustive analysis. If the OP's story is even half true I suspect the case really involves some really dumb action that does NOT involve hacking.
But frankly, I got bigger problems. After the upgrade to stock 4.1.2 I'm getting a series of "No SIM card" errors, even after a SIM replacement. Now going to Google....
The way many have overcome the no sim card error has been to return the phone to stock ICS and the modem to the LF6, then go on to the rom, kernel, and modem of choice.
Using the emergancy firmware installation option of Kies has also been used.
