hello there, a friend of mine asked me to put CM 11 on his s3. He had stock 4.3(germany i guess) rooted. I flashed TWRP with Goomanager, wiped data,system,cache and dalvik then flashed the 10/05/2014 nightly with the gapps. The device power on just fine ,he installed a few apps from play store then he was playing around with the device when he locked it, then the device died.
What i tryed:
-wont enter recovery or download
-pulled the battery out pressed the power for 5s put it back in
-connected the charger then power on the device

I think your friend played with something bad, did he use triangle away or overclocked cpu?
Cm11 has SDS fix and so does 4.3 stock... As advised your friend install something he shouldn't...

Even if that mod works on gt i9100, it cant be used on your device as its alredy bricked and not booting.
Your last hope is usb jig that can be ordered from Ebay/Amazon.
If that doesnt work send it for Jtag service repair or to Samsung (50/50 chance warranty will be accepted).

Did you use its stock kernel with cwm? People have been hard bricking their sgs2 with it (stock samsung kernel from 4.0.4 with cwm) where even Jtag couldn't repair it. Their only way out is a board replacement from samsung.

Rom manager isn't recomended for sgs2 as it causes issues. Maybe it also caused the bricks people were having. Have you tried a fresh battery? If you did and it didn't boot. Samsung service center is your only way buddy.

I don't think so since your internal memory or emmc is literally wiped out (if the cause of your brick is the one i told you about). If fresh battery doesn't work and you did everything, your last resort is samsung service center for a board replacement. If you still have your warranty just tell them when you woke up your phone won't turn on and don't mention rooting, flashing etc.
Glad to help mate.

There are a million and five threads about this on XDA.
It corrupts the EMMC chip, once corrupted you will need to replace the chip. Nothing can fix it.
can u tell me how much it costs to replace this chip?
so the motherboard and processor are both fine , and only this chip is gone?

You have to replace the whole motherboard - emmc is attached on it, and cannot be purchased/replaced separately.
and how much does this motherboard cost, i am out of warranty?
I wouldnt be surprised if Samsung wanted £200!.
If it were me Id buy a riff box kit rather than paying Samsung.

Please give more details like what android version and kernel you were using. And from your signature are you using S1?
Sent from my potato running a potato.
Try Odin happen to me once PC didn't recognize but Odin still did. Go to stickies section in Sgs2 section find stock ROM flash after I plugged in to kies and it did the rest. This method worked for me twice when all I had was a flickering black screen. Hope it works with U. Try to put into download mode three bottom press. PM if U need more help.

Its the sgs2 from my friend android version 4.0.4 stock rom
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
Guessing that you have hard bricked the phone, due to doing wipe on stock rom.
Not much you can do, a new motherboard is required
Can you enter download mode?
Download mode is entered by Volume Down + Home + Power pressed simultaneously when your phone is off.
Sounds like your motherboard is toast. you got warrenty? maybe theres hope
nope
no compassion at all.
If you had read just a little bit about rooting / flashing, you would have known that you should not do a CWM factory reset on stock 4.0.4 rom.
Just like here:

and here:

...and so on.
I guess you have to tell your friend that you ruined his phone
I got the S3 with Revoulution HD S5 (smartdroid) ROM with boeffla kernel.
Lately ive been getting random freezes just in the middle of doing nothing with my phone, it just freezes and then goes to reboot, while its trying to reboot it bootloops. With that i mean its trying to reboot then screen goes black and then it tries to reboot again.. Then i have to pull the battery out and insert it again and it works (for some time.)
So my question is how can i fix this and what is the problem? Ive read some posts saying that it could be the firmware? Well i have read alot of other posts but never really find any good soulution so please HELP!

Yeah, found it. Going completely stock now, without root also. Just going to try out the stock a while and see if it works. Then preferbly root and flash a custom rom again! Thanks.

i unrooted/went back to stock, then i rooted and flashed a new rom. Everything without a problem. I have only got 1 random reboot so far.. more suggestions??
If it still freezes and reboots on stock then you have bad memory blocks in your nand memory.

Change your Kernel. I am using Revolution S5 without any issue. Better install LiteGX kernel. Do not play with Kernel if your knowledge is less. LiteGX is just a plug & play Kernel.
I got the same issue.
I´m on it. I will try latest official. You should check if your emmc chip is possible broken. Just load the app emmc check and google about "SDS S3"
I´ll post a solution if i can get it solved.
