This thread is here to inform people that if they try to flash anything through rom tools of any type they might "brick" or "soft brick" their phone or have a bootloader loop with samsung logo as I do. As of right now I am working on unsoftbricking my phone because I tryed flashing fonts and a bootloading screen. While the chance there is that it will softbrick vs flashing successfully.since I had several flash fonts go off without a problem and just never stuck, I assumed everything was ok. After deleting my current rom and going back to my stock rom i thought back at what steps i took to arrive at my bootloader loop it was after a few apps I downloaded from the market.Oden Flasher (not saying in anyway that was the cause) was one of them (blue android with black lighting down the middle). Now I am unsure if this is the "root" cause (pun intended, for those that think im talking about root access im not its just a joke). I am tyring to load a stock rom ATM via "Samsung Galaxy S3 ToolKit v2.3.0". So far no luck and it still stays at the samsung screen. I can get into Odin mode and get into recovery mode. when i try to manually load a rom i get e: signature verification failed and it aborts install. the only answer i have found was from an s2 device to basically create and load a temp recovery made by adb programing. I beleive i can do it but i havent seen anything on the SIII device for sprint and really dont want to try it unless i know that is the right way to go. Ill keep everyone posted so if they have or had the same problem this might be an answer. I will gladly take advice from someone with the right knowlege please. Thank you.

***UPDATE*** IM STILL LEARNING AND I HAVE CONTINUALLY SEARCHED THESE FORUMS FOR ANSWERS UNSURE OF.

***UPDATE*** INSURE YOUR PHONE!!!

I was finally able to recover a new phone. Sprint was actually the one that suggested this to me...

If you screw up your phone and don’t have insurance to replace the one bricked or soft brick revert back to a prior model phone that you used past before your Samsung galaxy s3. Then activate your old phone. Activate insurance when you complete activation wait a day or two and bring in the one you messed up and have it replaced by acting as if you have no idea what happened. Tell them a friend that used to work for sprint tried to fix the phone and you have no idea if it was rooted or have any clue what root is and that he was using Odin to try and fix it (ONLY if they ask it was ever rooted even then you should act as if you have no clue). They should replace the device. This is not 100% guarantee but it worked for me. For all of you who messed up like I did I hope this information helps you acquire a new or factory refurbished phone. Good luck. I have made sure to back up every aspect of the phone as I was excited to receive this new device I knew nothing about and realized out of my own stupidity I only did a nandroid back up and it would never flash back because of careless mistakes and greedy want to have another cool rom all the time.

Thank you to all of you who devoted some time to help me with my stupidity!

I'm trying to figure out why you were trying to use Rom toolbox to change your boot logo.........

You clearly got this screen before it let you attempt changing it.....which device did you choose???
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] 18th.abn:
Rom toolbox is a very noob friendly way of doing small mods and the ONLY thing that is going to brick you under the "interface" menu is going to be the boot logo changer, and you STILL have to intentionally select a device you are not using to do it........

^^^Add that info to your OP so everyone knows you tried to flash it even tho it clearly shows not S3 compatibility

Put phone in download mode

Flash stock Odin

Done

And don't use the term brick....a brick is a useless lump of mass that has no power.

If you really have to use it...yours would be what some call a soft brick.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Speedin07si:
I'm fairly certain if you flash anything using anything that can flash, you Might brick your device. Unless you know what your doing and even then **** happens.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] pitbull292006:
Thanks for the info. It didn't brick my phone, but flashing a font from room toolbox cause my S3 to freeze at the boot logo, and I had to flash my back up
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] VenomousViper:
no. I did not use that or get that screen. i never had that option and i never would have selected a device that was not of the same origin.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] VenomousViper:
done that nothing has happend. so when i finally was able to get back into my bootloader (after i have already restored it by flashing a boot image... even though i apperently dont know how to do that) everytime i tryed to manually flash the rom i got a sig ver fail. Im having a hard time trying to get a soft brick (sorry for the confusion im not good on terminologies) ive researched and come up with an answer from the s2 device when it comes to verification but i feel its a bit risky by loading a temp boot and then restoring cwm boot (actually making a temp bootloading program looks fun to me and plausable) but learning how to do all this is fun and experimental since i cant find a single post on what to do about my situation. im not just doing it to do it. i could just go buy a new phone but Im doing all this to learn it. i would appriciate it if people would stop harrassing me and just help me since i am willing to learn.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] VenomousViper:
your welcome. I do appologize since ive used the wrong terms. but that is exactly what happend to me and nothing i have tried or what i have researched has worked. ive tryed to flash my back up and i cant get it to work i just hangs. i tryed flashing a custom flash to get adb access and i still cant flash my backup. Ive flashed a few times using font flashes but everytime i tryed it i always restored my main back up first
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] VenomousViper:
yes i am aware. that is why i am about to go into adb on my own and write out manually. I know how to do that. its just i dont know what to do to get it back. this is my problem. but i want to learn this stuff because i like doing it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] The Root:
How the heck are you guys messing up switching fonts with RomToolbox. Never once had an issue and have changed it about once a week as the rom i'm on updates.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JohnM:
If you ODIN'd back to stock, it should work.

Did you ensure that everything got flashed in ODIN? Make sure you're flashing system, data, user data, boot/kernel etc.

Then repartition in Odin and flash those again.

It should work after rebooting. If it doesn't, I suspect its hardware failure and that you can get it replaced by going into the store.

Sent from my Sprint SGS3
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] VenomousViper:
yes. odin even said pass and it was green after all was completed. at this point I was starting to think it was hardware related and was going to reset the counter before turining it in for factory warrenty.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JohnM:
That seems like a solid course of action. Make sure you play dumb when you bring it into the store - Just say you left it on your nightstand, the charger wasn't plugged in, but it still wouldn't get past the boot screen in the morning.

The regular procedure is that they take out battery, reboot, check water damage, etc. without actually going into Download Mode.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] csmasn:
Well... tbh I dont understand nothing. But try to abd install twrp2 instead CWM. And try to flash any ROM you have in your phone.

Sent from my phone...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] 18th.abn:
Pull battery, reinsert, press and hold (in this order) vol (+), physical home button, then power. Hold all 3 until screen blinks a couple times, let off of power button but continue to hold vol (+) and Home. If you have a custom recovery, this should get you there.......

Problem being, if like u said in op you also flashed a boot logo(splash screen)different than boot animation - the boot logo is earlier in the boot process than recovery and when it gets corrupted, recovery options don't apply because the device won't be able to access it since the boot process is corrupted before the recovery

If it was ONLY a font that got you here, then you WILL be able to access recovery. Fonts are flashed to the /system partition, and if there in a problem , /system is the final step in the boot process and CANNOT NO-WAY cause ANY harm early enough in the boot process to prevent you from accessing recovery. So give it a try.

The pic shows ROM toolbox font installer- highlighted is the default location for flashing the fonts

Below is root explorer showing the s3 filesystem fonts are in the correct directory as set as default for ROM toolbox.

So like I was saying, if it was just a font this is a very simple fix for you. Boot into recovery, flash a ROM which formats and writes /system, fixing any kind of error that installing a font could have caused
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] playya:
Personally if you have certain fonts you like to flash and after a successful change of fonts with what ever apps you use. I would then create a zip file with your fonts to flash in recovery when changing roms. Its what I have done without issue. I have even added the fonts folder to gapps for easy install
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] VenomousViper:
Thank you for your advice. Ill try that before I turn it in. If i dont have insurance they will still replace it if i act dumb right? Just incase I will make sure i have insurance before going in. Thanks for helping me everyone with my screw up i never had this issue with HTC evo's and ive rooted, and flashed 2 of them and other HTC varients with out an issue. this is the first samsung and i cant figure it out on my own!

I continue get e: signature verification failed every time i try to load my recovery image, stock sprint imgs (every official one i can find), and still get the message every time. Ive never had this issue with HTC.

[Nexus S Accessories] geco4u:
Hi,

my AC charger has suddenly stopped working.

I checked the wire and the connector and they both seem OK, so I suppose something went wrong in the electronics (AC>DC converter).

My Nexus is 1+ year old, and I have 2 years general warranty (Germany). Is this part also included? Can I contact Samsung and ask for replacement?

Or, should I better skip this and look into ebay to buy some cheap 2nd hand?

Anyone experienced this?

Thanks.
[Nexus S Accessories] nobbbly:
It can't hurt to try, surely.
[Nexus S Accessories] ozone89:
Not sure if charger is included in the warranty, as it's like the battery warranty (1yr)...

However, I see no point in waiting for an ebay item to be fedexed, when you could use any usb charger, with or without connector

(God bless EU for the universal charger decision!)
[Nexus S Accessories] DannyDroid:
Battery's are classed under a two-year warranty (at least in the UK).

I believe the charger is classed as an accessory but that two is covered by a two-year warranty (UK again).

Take it back to where you brought it from, if they sell no, ask Samsung, if they say no, ebay :D .
[Nexus S Accessories] smoke1:
I had an issue with charger so spent £5 quid straight away in ebay. I thought that time it would cost to go through waranty does not worth effort.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hahatran:
So basically my phone gets stuck on this screen View attachment 1312916

It's the MADLR screen but with no commands (like USB Flasher, Boot NAND)

This has happened multiple times on flashes.

The things I've done usually after I get this screen is

-Wipe/Task 29

-Install the newest radio for TMOUS

-Install MAGDLR then Clockwork

-Use Clockwork to flash the newest version of Cryogen ROM.

I usually get the screen after I turn my phone off or reboot. It's very inconvenient because after this happens all I can do is wipe and reflash.

Thank you

Had to import it from a Japanese eBay store with a cost of £560 with delivery. First impressions of the phone are very good, nice big clear screen, batter life is okay considering the screen size, calls are crisp and clear, feels good in the hand to hold.

I didn't really test firefox for android,i dont even use it on pc (IE9 is faster) but since it's stated on their official site i assume it would integrate seamlessly with flash once it's installed. Try installing it and test it.

[Xperia Play Android Development] sairaku:
Okay, been playing around with it for about an hour, and I've got to say I'm very impressed! There was plenty of storage 354meg for apps. For myself, I used TB to get rid of Es Explorer and the Fun & Games and PS store stuff. Since I don't use it. Run a couple of emulators and they don't have any issues at all. Since it was based from the NXT Rom I flashed the battery percentage tweak from there and it worked. Also flashed Jokawilds 4 corner homescreen tweak and that worked a treat too.

The only issue I seem to have and it's not really an issue mind you, is that the button remapper app, doesn't seem to want to work. I use my search button as a back button with that app. 3G works and so does Wifi. It's nice and snappy. So very good job my friend! Nice work.

Oh and this is on my Locked Bootloader Xplay. So no issues with that at all. :)

Keep up the awesome work!

I've wanted to create my own ROMs for a while since I had my old Evo but didn't get around to it. I know that the easiest and most common way for newbies is through the Android Kitchen but I've read that the kitchen is meant mostly for HTC phones and the initial list that I saw here on XDA (updated in Summer 2012) does not include our Galaxy SIII. It does include almost all of the other Galaxy models. I also read something about YAFFS having something to do with the kitchen too, that most high-end devices don't include this which is a reason why the program doesn't support our devices.

Anyway, I have read that there is a possibility that it was supported or there was a file that I could use for it. So I was wondering if this was a method through Android Kitchen or another way of creating a custom ROM.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mnhertz26:
Do some research on "Aroma Installer". Also, pm a developer of a rom that you find stable. Ask them if you can use their rom as a base. That is a great place to start. Even before you ask, just download a rom. You can load it on your device, modify it on your phone, and zip it up. Just do not post it for anyone else's use without asking the developer. If you don't want to use another developers work, start with stock as your base. I strongly recommend that you start there, gain some knowledge, do a ton of reading, and report back after. For the most part, developers are very friendly and willing to help. However, they don't want to teach you the basics or the lingo. I build my own roms, just for me. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ndh777:
Thank you very much for the helpful post! I kind of figured it was just modifying existing ROMs. But I'll check out that Aroma Installer and see what I come up with.
