Hey guys, i hope this wasent posted before at least if then i am to stupid to find it.
I broke the screen of my s3 and a guy in a handyshop repaired it for everything fine except my software ( Omega rom idk the version ;( ) always got into safemode. At Home i wanted to fix it myself and got in recovery mode and instaled the newest backup i got.
Now its stuck in a bootloop if I start it normaly and if i start it in recovery or download mode it shows me the samsung SIII start screen and turns back off.
I hope you can help me and thans a lot for even trying.

I cant factory reset it, since it doesnt want to go in recovery mode.
Oh now I understand. So it bootloops on recovery, android and download mode?!

Obvious question but is the battery charged? Does it charge when switched off?
ewalkol uniting
Okey just to make things clear:
Yes it is charged.
If i start it normaly, without pressing any Buttons except to power button i get a bootloop is vibrating periodicly and i see my bootscreen forever.
If I want to get in recovery mode or download mode (volume up/down+home+power) it Shows me the Samsung sIII Screen and turns off again.
If u know anyone with a usb jig...that mite helo u get into download mode

If it worked fine before the screen was broken then either something else was damaged at the same time or the repair process has added something new.
If you can't get it into download mode then not a lot you can do, usb jig or repair clip might work -but only if the motherboard is undamaged..

well after the repair it always booted into safe mode but i was able to get into recovery.
Then i instaled the backup and now i cant get into recovery mode.

Ok so i had rom manager and my device wouldnt show up , so what i did was where it says clockwork recovery i clicked dell streak model , then it said installed successfully so i thought oh ! Great! But then what happened was when i rebooted my device it doesnt power on at all , please help me!!!!!!!
notes
also , i have a backup of my phone clockwork recovery on sd card.
Aaaaaah! Shouldn't have done that, didn't it seem kinda obvious?
But anyway, if you can't power on in download/any way at all, looks like you'll have to send it to samsung repair

ok so i dont have any other option at all , also what are the combinations , i have tried:
vol down +home + power , vol down + middle button + power . i have also tried using usb and holding vol down, home , power and then putting battery in.
I think that's all there is, sorry

yes it doesnt power up , but if you tell me some ways to try and boot up then i will be able to flash it back.
i didnt think flashing the wrong recovery would brick a phone?
some ideas:

Something else is wrong. If you tried installing wrong recovery it should of just said on your phone screen installation aborted. Have a go at this. I take it you still have odin installed on your pc right.
Press and hold vol down. Then press centre and power at the same time and hold down. It only takes a few seconds for a yellow triangle to appear with downloading written on the screen. You do not need to have the usb plugged in at this moment.

Man..ur can only be done right by odin....so for going to download mode...turn off the mobile pick out the battery put it again .....and press vol. Down+centre selection button(not home or android button)+power on key....and after 2 sec u will be their....and try to press the button in the order as i posted.....say if it helps...

If you cant get it on download mode then i would say you bricked your phone,, you will probally be charged by samsung as they dont condone tampering with custom roms or recovery and there will be traces if they manage to power it on, it might be cheaper for you to just buy another phone, and leave it alone, but am still sorry to hear you cant get your phone working, good luck..
Sent from my Xoom using xda premium
So what did you do? Any updates? The exact same thing happened to me too
None of the key combinations will work, because your phone's arm11boot partition is now corrupt. That's really bad, because it's responsible for phone charging/download mode etc.
You need to get it repaired.
Please guys, *never* install ClockworkMod that's intended for another device. With other models you can get lucky and find a working build, but you have an extremely high risk of permanently bricking with Samsung models.
I did this exact same thing and ended up buying a Galaxy Ace. I'll still try and fix my Galaxy 5 though. I selected Huewai Pulse from the list. Bad move =(

Hello guys!
Im having a big problem here, i have some Xperia Phones, and flashing roms used to be simple for me.. But now, i have a friend's Galaxy SII AT&T I777 device in hands and I messed up when i tried to flash (wrongly, i know...) a I9100 firmware using Odin.
Now it is in a boot loop and, the worst, is that i cant enter download mode.!
Someone have any idea to help me.?? i have searched everywhere, but all the methods involves entering in download mode...
Download Mode is the way to go. You soft bricked the phone. You will be bringing that phone back to stock, get use to pulling the battery.

EDIT2: now i found out the "pulling the battery" u said... kk... thanks
If the volume button access to download mode isn't working your only option is to get a jig to enter download mode and refresh stock and start over. Sucks that it isn't your phone cuz its screwed without a jig unless you can get to cwm recovery.

you mean you cant boot into recovery or it is still stuck at the logo?

Make sure your phone is off (pull the battery for 5sec) and that it's not connected via USB.
Then press and hold Volume-Down, Home-Button (center) and Power.
(In that order)
When the logo appears, immediatly release the Power while still holding the other 2 until download mode appears.
If it does not work, make sure you haven't slipped off a button and repeat procedure a few times.
If it still does not work you're officially softbricked and need a Jig (Usb-plug with an intern resistor).
They're quite cheap and several repair shops seem to have one. You can also make it yourself if you're any good with a solder iron. It really isn't hard and you can't break anything.
If you've got your hands on a jig, make sure the phone is powered off, then plug the jig in. It will magically turn on and immediatly show download mode. (If it tries to boot, turn it off and repeat, that happens if the jig isn't seated properly)
Should it remain off, your jig isn't exactly 301kOhm (several cheap ones are 300kOhm)

Have you tried what the previous guy said and got in to download mode? If you can get to download mode you are fine. Just need a rom you can install via odin or just reinstall recovery via Odin. Then wipe and reinstall another rom again.
Nuff said really. I highly doubt you have softbricked the device if you can get to the boot logo.

You should never flash a custom rom
A. if you have no idea (Clearly you have never don this before)
B. YOU NEED A JIG
and you will need a multi file rom not a single as you need to do a reparation
or take it to samsung and put your hands up and say your a twit
will cost £40

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

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

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

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.
