[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] loaferkan:
lol I loaded the file into the bootloader, am I 100% screwed? seem like the Samsung Galaxy SIII logo is sticking there forever?

---------- Post added at 09:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:01 AM ----------

okay my phone was not brick, but here is what happen, so the situation I'm in, maybe someone can help?

First see where I'm standing...My phone is at the Samsung GALAXY SIII, it wouldn't move from here...

Now how I got here, where I was flashing and flashing, and I did some more flashing....and then decided that I think I need to format everything so I can get all the bugs out...so First I made a back up of everything to my External SD card, still has all the files there...

then I formatted the Phone Memory, the SD Card, that came with the phone, the 16GB internal memory, the whole system etc...any place i found format in the recovery I did it...I didn't format the External SD card, because I knew I had back up there...

I even did your thing, and kind of downloaded it, and even flash it as you instructed, but still standing on the Galaxy SIII...anyway I can get mount the system or something, where I can put the ROM file into the main SD card, instead of the external SD CARD?

thanks...

Where did you find the drivers? I am having the same issue. You mind posting the link here, please?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Triskite:
I had the same issue (gsm img flashed... lol) and thought I couldn't get into download mode - thought I had tried everything - but got it working holding vol down // home and power for a few seconds (timing seems to have mattered)

It's possible that my battery was fully dead before - I stopped in a TMobile store and talked the guy into trading me a new battery for my old one.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tenebrion:
I searched the internet and found the drivers, ODIN still doesn't recognize my S3.

Wonder if anyone found a fix for this yet?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] m20120:
Are you able to get your phone to boot into Download Mode? Odin will not connect to your phone unless you are in download mode. What happens when you try to power on the phone? Or if you connect it to your PC? Do you see the phone (or any device in Device Manager)?

If you flashed an international ROM then it is likely that you are hard bricked and you can not get into download mode. If that is the case you will have to get the phone replaced or send it off to a service that does "brick repair".
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tenebrion:
I think your second option may be my only option atm....I believe i did the unthinkable (after all years of loading custom roms), loaded the international version...I did research the image i loaded was 9300 not 710 (oops).

I do see:

Qualcomm HS-USB QDloader 9008 in the device manager......
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] thanhxvo:
lol well my friend you are not alone. I just did the unthinkable today too. I am still kicking myself for it. How can i be so careless? I think I might just need to buy a new phone sigh lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mskip:
Can you not get into Download Mode or do you not get any life from your phone?

Mark.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] guitarman4535:
Hey Mark,

I have read this entire post. I have the Sprint S3. I flash an international i9300 rom. Now I get no lights at all. I had 73% on my phone battery when it was last alive.

I was hoping someone found some magic fix for this as I have the 32gb version which means I may need to Sprint to fix this... unless anyone has come up with a fix.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] BubZX:
Flashing an international Rom on a Sprint gs3 equals hard brick.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] stljim2005:
if only this were to work when you have a Hard bricked GS3. :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mskip:
This will only work if you have soft bricked your device (flashing an incorrect boot image). If you flashed a complete firmware image and the bootloader was overwritten then you will not be able to enter download mode to relfash any images. If you can enter download mode then there is still hope.

This is why there are warning posted all over the development forums stating not to flash anything that isnt made specifically for your model as it can lead to an expensive paper weight.

Mark.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] smartbeatz:
I woke up this morning and checked for a new version of cyanogen 10 and when it went to reboot it got stuck in reboot. The phone will not go into recovery and I can only get it in download mode... I assume that I would only be able to use Odin at this point but what files and will I lose my backups?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] civicstyle01:
Yes happened to me before.....need to flash stock ruu file in Odin......sucks but fixes it.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brack11:
I'm using intensively navigon select and it has related software for download maps through computer. This app requires path sdcard/external_sd/ if it doesn't find external_sd then it starts to download huge mount of megabytes on sdcard (not emmc) but when I mount phone via usb to update maps the related software cannot find registered location for maps, and starts to download stuff on external sd which is emmc. I tried apps like directory bind but it didn't work for navigon, so, I'm forced to be on stock ics rom. While on cm7 i was changing something in build.prop and one other file I don't remember and then everything was working with external_sd path. But I cannot find that solution for cm9. The question is there 4.0.4 rom that has external sd mounted at external_sd automatically?

Is it me or does this phone charge fast as hell?

comes with 1A charger, hence will charge at a decent rate :)

I use the ipad charger it does wonders :)

Not fast for me

That can actually damage your phone.

[Galaxy S III General] nodstuff:
There has been 6 threads about this.

Its old news.
[Galaxy S III General] jowabi:
It's the fastest charging android phone I've ever had (and since October 2008, I average a new android phone every six months).
[Galaxy S III General] greenstuffs:
The battery could deteriorate faster, i don't think a 2A charger would damage the phone i could be wrong but i've used it quite a bit over the past 2 years and never had any problems
[Galaxy S III General] KainamHD:
Isn't the charging rate determined by the phone itself?

It would be stupid as hell to have the charging rate determined by a (universal) external device!
[Galaxy S III General] jowabi:
Yes, the charging amps are regulated by a circuit in the phone. There is not a direct connection from the charging connector to the battery itself. LoL.

Now that's not to say that an over powered charger could not damage the charging regulator circuit over time....
[Galaxy S III General] okpc:
Yeah the good thing, we have "removable" battery. Not like some iphony or one X
[Galaxy S III General] wackyD:
I wouldn't do that - you'll damage the battery...
[Galaxy S III General] greenstuffs:
Why are you so concerned? I don't think you are keeping the phone for longer than 1 year anyways
[Galaxy S III General] brins0:
Same here. It's definitely the fastest charging Android phone I've had before. I've had an Acer Liquid, a Motorola Defy and a Nexus S, and it trashes them on charging time. The S3 actually charges in the car when i'm using GPS too, rather than slowly flattening!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] TheJanitor07:
Don't get me wrong, I love my S2, but I'm also loving the new S4 processor, screen (HD Display), bigger screen, 2G of RAM, better 8MP camera and the new TouchWiz changes on the S3. I just wanted to get a few opinions on if it is really worth upgrading to the S3 or just holding out for something better? I would have went with the HTC One S, but the no sd card slot killed that decision for me. Thanks for any advice/input guys.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RushAOZ:
Yes its worth it imoTheoretically twice the performance and super amoled+ 720p screen alone are enough to warrant an upgrade over this phone. Remember we got the runt s2. This phone is sweet but in no way is a power house. Even the exynos powered s2 feel ages ahead of this chipset.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] TheJanitor07:
Do you know if the AT&T and Sprint versions of the S3 will be getting the same version of the T-Mobile S3? Like the S4 Qualcomm processor...Instead of last time where Sprint and AT&T got the Exynos processor instead of the S3 Qualcomm chip on the S2?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] darkamikaze:
I would wait for Google io and decide from there. Tbh, the smarter thing to do is wait until fall.

It's not that big of a leap to warrant paying and renewing your contact imo.

As far as i know all US carriers have the same hardware except for radios.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] JaylanPHNX:
I think the the S3 is a solid generational leap from the S2. I'm still disappointed that they didn't go whole hog ICS, keeping physical keys and a menu button, but hardware wise, it's a hell of a phone. Put CM9 on it and wow.

And yes, the chipset, specs, and design are all the same on all US models.

Maybe the nexus or google phone will shock the industry.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Whitehawkx:
Ironically I've been disappointed in all US SGS releases thus far b/c it hasn't had the physical button. I think it add character to the phone and will offer some uniqueness as opposed to all softkeys. But, different strokes. :)

I am going to be picking up the TMO version this coming Friday (roman is too). We are planning on doing a stock smali hacked rom (like Juggernaut) AND of course putting AOKP on it. Gonna be fun. ^^

I personally like how the gs3 looks. Dunno if that melting issue affects all gs3s but that's something else to look out for. That drop test video shows it being more fragile than the gs2.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] TheJanitor07:
Well I've made my decision, and I'm picking up my S3 on Wednesday morning (6/27) as soon as my local T-Mobile store opens. It's just too much of a beast of a phone to turn down. I'll be sure to post back on my opinion of the device. Thanks guys.

I spoke with a sales rep today and they told me its gonna be 350 after mail in rebate. Ill not pay that much with a 2 year contract... just seems insane. Ever other phone out there is 200+/- 50
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] busab:
Personally I am just going to wait until the new nexus (or nexi?) Come out. Remember rumors have it that we will have up to five different versions this year to choose from. I think it will be worth it to wait a few months.

^This
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] peconaut:
I personally don't think is worth upgrading

First of all Im not going to pay an insane price just to upgrade. my current phone cost me enough. Also the phone has some nice feature however I believe its better to wait for the next Google phone since there always more development.

Plus we already have CM9,MUIU,AOKP and AOSP. I think I can wait a little longer
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] TheJanitor07:
I will be paying a 229.99 down payment for the 16GB version and then 20 bucks a month after that, only because I'm on a value plan. The 32GB version is a down payment of 279.99 and 20 bucks a month after that. If your a new customer or on a standard plan (and have an upgrade available) then it will be 279.99 for the 16GB and 329.99 for the 32GB.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] peconaut:
I think that's to much money for a phone. The max I will ever pay for any phone is $200
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] TheJanitor07:
Well sometimes for the latest and greatest technology I think its always going to be a little extra money. Especially when its brand new. Plus its not like I'm paying out of pocket for most of it, I sold my GS2 for $400 to be able to get the GS3...I think its well worth the upgrade.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] peconaut:
Wow you got a lot for it. Where did you sell it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Android Revolution:
Personally, i don't think the S3 is a big enough jump in the "latest and greatest" category to warrant me paying such prices. But that's my opinion. If you think it's worth it, go for it. It's your money and your phone. From the 9+ million pre orders, it seems a lot of other people agree with you. :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] TheJanitor07:
Sold it off Craigslist, where I sell all my phones.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] TheJanitor07:
Well, I'm the type of guy that has to have the "latest and greatest" device that comes out so that's just me. I understand the price is pretty steep, but when the time comes around and a better and newer phone comes out I'll just sell my S3 and continue.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] darkside79:
The S3 doesn't have a Super Amoled + screen.only a Super Amoled screen. Read the specs and review at cnet.com not as bright as this s2 device. Makes no since not to include that!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] matthewdavis:
But if you buy them subsidized you are paying much more then 200. Tmobile is the only US network that offers lower per month plans if you buy the phone outright. And you can sometimes pay a few hundred less over 2 years if you go that route. At least that's how the math worked out for me a year or so ago.

Edit: s/but/buy
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] matthewdavis:
With the last 2 official Google phones opting to ditch the sdcard, I'm no longer a fan of them. Samsung has won me with the s2 and the s3.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
I'm in the same position

however, IMO upgrading from SGS2 to SGS3 NAM version, it's not worth it, it's still a dual core

the only difference is just the newer Software, and a larger screen resolution, which i've already found out it's not compatible with many of my old Apps that have no true HD support, so all the menus are messed up.

if the SGS3 NAM was a Quad core, then that would have been a different story, i'd have been all over it :p
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] oldfield16:
Yeah the lack of a quad core processor is really confusing with these american releases. The One X and One S, now the S3's, I really don't understand their logic behind it.

Interestingly enough though, the AT&T S3 gets a higher quadrant score than the international version, but the AT&T version gets totally creamed in antutu.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Android_Monsters:
Could just rock them both. Its going to take awhile for the development to catch up on the s3
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jtroye32:
I think I'll wait to see what the next gen Nexus line has to offer. It takes a bit of time for development to take off for a new phone usually, so by that time I can either jump on a nexus or get the s3 cheaper and have a bunch of Roms to choose from. My S2 runs everything I need/want it to now so there's no sense in paying a premium for the latest and greatest.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ITALIANNYC:
The camera is not better. It is the same sensor that is in the S2. Only the software is different. Yesh it takes faster photos but its basically the same quality. Which imo, sucks when not outside in light
