So I flashed to DrakyRom, everything was going great then I flashed SiyahKernel S3-v1.8.6, everything was good too, after trying to install and download an application from Google Play, i had a message "Package file is invalid". I decided to reboot the device, it got stuck on the booting screen, I did a battery pull. NOW MY PHONE WON'T TURN AT ALL! I plugged the charger, connected it to pc, tried to go into Recovery/download mode, nothing is responsive at all. What went wrong? :crying:
i hope i mentioned all the details you guys need.

I tried, no luck. The phone is getting jtaged at a store. Is there anyway i can avoid bricking my phone again? what is weird is is the fact that more than 30 users did exactly what i did, flashed the rom, then flashed the kernal, but no one reported any issue!
you probably don't have an i9300

Hello.
I have "little" problem on my sgs2.
I bought it used and it had vibration broken (flexcable broken).
I fix it with new part and used it one day for testing it.
It was working flawless.
Yesterday i flashed it on stock 2.3.5 Nee and rooted it with speedmod.
It was working ok and no glitches or anything unusual behavior.
I installed about 50 programs in a row for market and put the settings and launchers in working.
it took about 1,5 hours and it was pretty warm but not burning hot.
Then i went to sleep and put it on charger.
On this morning i woke to my backup alarm and noticed that the phone had died on night.
I beginning to believe it´s maybe dead completely, maybe hardware failure.
I have tried everything else, but not jig (haven´t got it yet).
It doesn´t go to cwm or download mod, no lights, nothing just black screen.
It doesn´t charge or even get warm when trying to charge.
I have tried it on two different battery (other battery is brand new genuine).
Doesn´t look or smell burned (motherboard).
Any suggestions?
doesnt sound like its bricked.
try these steps:
1) open ODIN
2) reflash speedmod kernel using the ODIN's .tar file
3) go into CWM recovery
4) wipe data / cache / davlik
5) flash a new ROM or official Firmware
6) flash a new modem file
7) reboot the phone
8) start restoring all your apps and settings etc
here are some links to get u started (the setup i use)

ahh ok
well if ur 100% sure u cant get into download mode, your kinda screwed. thats the last line of defense against bricking. if thats gone, you might as well throw it or maybe see if a dev can salvage it - but i doubt it

Try charging it via USB or with a different charger and cable. Other than this and using another battery, I think its f**ked if unable to boot into DL mode without jig.

You said you haven't got a jig yet. I'd suggest you get a jig. I got one for a couple bucks on eBay. Worth it to see if it will trigger download mode.

Jig is coming sometime in next week.
I doubt it´l help because it went black on charging.
Memory shouldn´t corrupt just like that.
I also read couple post on overheated sgs2.
Anyway the jig is worth of try.
Does someone know is it possible to buy just a motherboard and what does those cost?
Maybe i have to sell it on parts.
If it does not even turn on. Then it's a hardware failure. No jig is going to fix that.
hey guys
I have been using Siyah Kernel on my SGS2 for a wile now so I decided to put it on my brothers 1 day old SGS3 and when I try to flash it in CWR I got an errror saying zip could not be flashed and when I rebooted the phone all I got was a Black screen. I've tried everything but the phone wont boot and I cant get in to download mode or CWR.
Any one have any ideas before I go back to the store and play dumb ?
Use Odin and reflash your kernel of choice.

If you can't go into download mode you won't be able to repair anything...
If you have an USB jig, it should work on S3 to go to download mode
I figured...

Kinda sucks
My brother came home with the phone yesterday. I put CWR on it then rooted it and all was fine. I figure I could throw the siyah kernel on it and install a second rom for him to try out.... I have been doing this stuff on my SGS1 and SGS2 for years and never had this problem. But I guess that's it. I ordered a jig on ebay just in case they wont take the phone back at the store. I guess a mod can close this thread if there is nothing else to try.
Thanks for everyone's time....
Strange, the kernel and download mode are at completly different places.
Breaking the kernel, fine. But breaking downlad mode access?
It worked for others already, so please try:
- power off the phone
- remove usb-cable if attached
- pull battery for 30seconds
-press and hold vol-down and Home button. (the latter in the centre)
- press power until the logo appears
Does it still not go to download mode?
USB jigs are pretty easy to build yourself if you have ever used a soldering iron. So if you're like me, you won't wait for the ebay-seller to deliver =)

I Have tried everything possible with the 3 button combo and cant get in to download mode. Pull battery for up to 5 minutes, USB in, USB out, everything I can think of. I cant even get to the LOGO. The red light might come on for a few seconds but nothing at all on the screen.
And all I did was:
Flash the CWR in download mode with odin, reboot(everything worked fine)
Flash su-root zip in CWR, rebooted(everything worked fine)
Made a Backup in CWR, rebooted(everything worked fine)
Flash SiyahKernel S3 zip in CWR, then got an error saying zip was not installed, rebooted and could not get boot logo, download or CWR
ask karnel maker just see weather he can help u out. as might be he knwing case of this ..

I have a dock charger for extra batteries and it shows full charge on the dock.
This same thing just happened to me.
I dont have internet at my house i only always use my phone. I read about the siyah kernal and decided to flash it this morning hoping that i could get hotspot to work. I did it through CW and now the screen just stays black. I got the same warning msg with a andy on his back and a red triangle. It was fine before and working normally. I had a stock firmware and the only thing that i changed about the phone was rooting it through odin. Now i'm screwed because i never had this issued with any phone and i'm tempted to take it back to best buy and blame them. I had soft bricked it about 4 days ago but i was able to fix it in a few mins after searching xda. When the phone is plugged in to the computer it does make a connection sound but the device name is not my phone. Someone point me in the right direction

That would actually be Siyah. But you don't seem to like it anymore after having it brick your phone *g*

Pull the battery for 30 seconds, plug it back in. Then plug in to USB jig and within 5 seconds your phone has automatically turned on an gone to Download mode.
NOTE: Some suppliers sell ****ty Jigs with a too high tolerance value of the resistance. These DO NOT work on the S3 even if they worked on the S1/S2.

@goul0080: Please if possible measure the resistance between pin3 and pin5 of the Jig. It should be 301kOhm +- 1% tolerance. Anything between 1 and 5% may n or may not work.
If the phone still doesn't work you should check for a repair shop around you. They can use JTAG (direct access to the flash storage and other system compontents) to flash the ROM and you should be good to go again. Usually costs around 20$ afaik.

looks like mine didn't read it fully but yeah. Basically pull battery to make sure phone is off. Give it a few secs then stick battery back in. Then stick in the jig. Phone autoboots into download mode.

I don't have anything to measure the Ohm, sorry. Also the closest Phone repair shop is about 9 hours drive, no joke. I am on a island in Canada and I have to drive about an our just to get to a small crappy walmart haha.
i wiped everything including a factory reset then installed liquid rc8 i used correct one for my phone it rebooted but never booted up to the samsung logo doesnt seem to vibrate or anything when i press power wtf?
now when i plug it into pc it shows my external drive then it vanishes then re-appaears and tells me to format it but that doesnt work either
Put in download mode and Odin back to stock.
How full was your battery when you started? May have drained it

If you can get back into recovery mode, try reflashing the rom or flashing another rom. I've had cases where a rom just wouldn't work for me (I too, have the AT&T Note). Never had the patience to try to figure out why. I usually try to flash several times (making sure I do a factory wipe) but if it still didn't work, I would just flash another rom.
If you can't get into recovery mode, then you may need to flash a stock rom via ODIN (in download mode) and then start all over from scratch (root the phone, install CMW or TWRP,flash custom rom, etc.). Please search the forums for a stock rom and all the files / instructions on flashing via ODIN if you aren't already familiar with it.
Since your PC recognizes the phone to some degree (it at least recognizes that the phone was connected and interacts with the sd card), it sounds like you have a soft brick which is fixable via one of the methods above. If your phone was hard bricked, then the PC more than likely wouldn't recognize it at all, it would do absolutely nothing and you would basically have a paper weight. It doesn't sound like you have a hard brick.
If anyone else has more insight, please chime in. I'm definitely no expert here.
it wont even light up to samsung logo or even vibrate also the sd is recognised but it randomly connects and disconnects odin does not see phone

Perhaps your cable is defective. All of my cables eventually get to the point where I have to twist them and hold them a certain way to work. When that happens I know it's time to replace the cable. You may just need to use another cable.
no i tried with 2 differnt cables also battery was at like 99% when this happened also windows keeps finding my sd for a moment and then vanishes could this be stuck power button? if so i dont see how i didnt touch power button when it rebooted

Before i pulled out the battery without turning the phone off to replace it. now the phone wont go pass the samsung boot screen. phone was working perfectly before. currently running sotmax v10. tried reflashing the rom but still nothing.
is there anything i can do?
Try some other ROM... still if it doesn't work, try flashing official firmware with ODIN... hope it works.
