Hello Xda I've soft bricked my S3 I can access download mode.
I got into this problem cause I flashed Supernexus it worked fine for a few days. Until I went into bootloop and couldn't do anything I couldn't access recovery so I just flashed the stock rom and now the phone only boots into download mode and can be viewed by odin also it says on the phone please connect to kies in recovery. I done this put the phone doesn't get recognised any ideas and help will be appreciated

if you can't access recovery after reflashing a stock ROM, send it to service
and ask for help in the help section, not here
They won't help because its rooted and stuff also i have a slight crack so sending it into service will cost me like 200$ to repair
What build are you using? Looks like I'm moving away from that ROM 0.o

yeah, the other option is to throw the phone away. your call.
or you can also be doing something wrong.
or you can hope for me to be wrong.
i've been searching around an they calling this the ''sudden death syndrome'' and can happen at any time to a select few all you have to do is send it into service and get it repaired for free but i can't because i've got a slight hairline crack so my warranty is void and they are asking for around £150 for repairing this phone
You have a software problem not hardware. The crack has nothing to do with that. I had a crack on my S1 but sent it to service for new USB port - no problems.

I've rang them again after you said this and said sorry we can't do anything until u repair the screen by us or yourself. Also they said we can't guarantee that the problem I got was not from my crack so they said no to repairing for free they asking for 135£ to repair the crack
Then they'll replace the motherboard for free

hi so i had a replacement vibrant with the hardware keys disabled. but somehow i bricked it and i cant get back in to download mode. now its stuck on the computer icon and the phone icon. i had vibrant hybrid rom installed in there. and rooted. i called tmobile and said i was trying to copy something from my computer to the phone and it just rebooted and that screen came up. they are sending me another one. i mean the only way to get back in is to reflash it with odin right. thats what they will have to do. and if they do that i should be good because it wont be rooted anymore. what do yall think?
I dont think its bricked, try other methods. But hey a replacement is always better

Be careful. If they find out that you were messing with the phone's ROM, they might charge you a restocking fee of $400. Because technically you voided your warranty by rooting it. Trust me I know I work for T-mobile.
So a few days back, my mini pro started to act weird; when the keyboard was out the touchscreen wouldn't work. By the evening the whole screen stopped working. Warranty is out, so I tore down the whole phone, checked all the connections but in vain. I flashed the phone back to stock firmware, but still stuck with no touchscreen. I think this is a pure hardware problem. And I'm kinda scared to give my phone to these private dealers, they might swap out the original parts for fake ones, learned the hard way when I gave in my old Nokia for repair.
So I thought I'd share my problem with you guys, any help would be appreciated.

Bro, its an hardware issue.. The flex that connects from motherboard to the display is damanged.. Give it to the nearest Sony ericsson service center n get it replaced.. Do not give it to private vendors.they tend to spoil your phone.. Dont worry even if ur not on stock ROM or kernel.. Just tel them not to upgrade your software during the process..else it'l be fixed. Cheers..

Thanks for the real quick reply man, I thought so. With that in mind I took the phone apart and check the connections. Finding them intact I came to quite the same conclusion.
Any idea how much this would cost?

Here it cost me about 1.5k.. Not much tho. ;-)

Hi there!
After trying to flash SGS2 i9100 to ICS with KIES phone got bricked... It doesn't charge and boot. When I try to power on, it begins to vibrate until I pull out the battery. Download mode not working, the screen stays black.
Can I somehow fix it or the only way is to bring it to the service center?
Send it to the service centre anyway they do a great job so you may aswel. And you know it will be fine once you get it back

It won't be covered by warranty, so before paying I'd like to know if I could fix it by myself
I set mine to the service centre when it wasnt under warranty and they did it for free...

It will. Tell the that Kies update broke it and play dumb.
I don't understand why first you try the hard way and not even considering the option to get it repaired effortlessly and free.

Hello,my friend has a problem.His phone was flashed and rooted.It worked without any problem but he said that after 2-3 month phone just freezed.He couldn't reset it,so he took battery out.And now he can't turn on phone, only black screen.So now I have tried entering Download mode but without any success.I have no idea what's wrong.It just died like that...Any help?Thanks!
It's in the so called "Paperweight" mode: anything will work. The only way to repair is to send it back to your seller. A JIG won#t work, throwing it through a room won't work... I feel sorry for you:crying:

I have recently purchased an s3 from someone but i'm having trouble with it.
I can only go into download mode and the bootscreen. Brought it to a repair centre and the verdict was that the phone has been rooted by the previous owner so warranty voided. Could be sent to samsung but it would cost me money.
Been reading certain posts here tried everything but still no luck.
Keep getting no partition. Partition unsuccesfull.
My s3 is not fully sds but half.
Kies won't recognize him and trying to install roms no such luck.
I just want to throw my phone away right about now.
The service at samsung is very ****ty pardon my saying so.

Half SDS or full SDS both mean u will be replacing the motherboard to fix it as there is no other way and throwing the phone away would cost more than the replace
Maybe so but then it wouldn't be my problem anymore.
So pissed off at this moment. Never had this problem with iphone service centre. I love my samsung but starting to wander if i would step over to htc or sony
