[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Madmanmoose:
Just got the Verizon GS3 from my employer; and, decided to root it.

It received the JB 4.1.1. OTA yesterday, after being activated; and, I tried to use the XDA posted procedure for rooting that new build:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2046439

Did all the prep, got ODIN and VRALEC bootchain loading, until ODIN showed green.

While waiting for the GS3 to reboot, I knocked the USB cable out of my laptop.

Couldn't get ODIN to continue, and the GS3 won't boot at all...100% black screen.

The only kind of response I get is when I connect the GS3 to the USB cable, and hold down the power button. After about 20 seconds, the computer will make soft pinging noises.

I've rooted a lot of Android phones. Had lots of problems, but never actually bricked one...especially one belonging to the company.

Have a completely bricked this poor phone; or does someone have a plan to offer?

THANKS, IN ADVANCE!

Have you pulled battery let it sit for a little then put the battery in and tried getting back into Odin mode? Of course without the usb connected
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Madmanmoose:
Appreciate the suggestion, Kintwofan.

Unfortunately, I had already tried that...took the battery out; and, let the phone sit for 10 minutes.

There is absolutely nothing when I hold down the Power button...no sound, no lights, no haptic buzz.

The only time it gives any sign of life is if I plug in the USB cable, while the battery is out. Then the upper-left LED glows red...even when I put the battery back in. However, after about 1 minute, the light goes out, and the GS3 will give out three short 'chirps'

Any other thoughts? Have I killed it?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kintwofan:
I'm thinking so, that's the same symptoms as when people flash international versions of a ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] CovXX:
Had this before it's a soft brick,I think. you need to get into Odin mode and flash bootloader again, there's a thread in dev section with the files and the procedure
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kintwofan:
You know a USB jig may actually be helpful in your situation. I think they're like 10 in eBay
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tonu42:
I've knocked my chord out from flashing so many times on the fascinate. Good lord. Plus it would even turn it blue mid way and get all messed up.

I simply put it back in download mode and flashed away. OP has not specified trying to get into download mode. Try that.....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kintwofan:
You may be right, I told him to a while ago, but re reading his response it sounds like he just tried to power it back on.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bobAbooE:
Same for the droid x. Just put it back in bootloader mode and start the sbf over. The only real problem was if your battery was too low and your would have to find an external charger. That sucked and people would freak out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] edthesped:
If you are able to get in to download mode consider installing the pre rooted K3 found here...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1984436

I have 4 phones, I used OTA Rootkeeper on one, used the method above on two and the fourth is still on ICS, until this weekend.

I hope all works out well for you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Chocu1a:
Unplug the usb from the phone. Hold Home+ Vol Down+ Power at same time, When it boots, then Vol. Up.

This is called Download mode. It WILL go into download mode if it shows a battery icon when plugged in.,

Then, open odin, plug the usb into the phone & continue on.

Just trying to power on from a soft brick will do nothing. It sounds like that is what you are doing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Madmanmoose:
Appreciate all the feedback.

I charged the battery in an external charger; and, tried to get back into ODIN mode.

I held the lower volume and home buttons down, then held the power button.

Nothing happened at all.

If I did it wrong, please explain how I should do it.

As always, thanks in advance!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] loonie01:
Did the phone even vibrate? Instead of holding them down at the same time, do it in a sequence. Volume down, home button, power button. Hold each one down while you hold the next button down.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] buhohitr:
Try this:

Make sure battery is charged. Hold down: volume down, home, and power buttons. THEN insert battery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Madmanmoose:
,

Battery fully charged, and did the exact sequences described in the two most recent posts. Nothing at all... no vibrations, no lights, no sounds.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Madmanmoose:
Sorry I didn't make it clearer. There was NOTHING on the screen at all.

What happened was if I plugged in the USB while the battery was out, a red LED came on (top left of the front of the device).

Whether I put the battery back in, or not, the red LED would turn off after about 30 seconds; and, the phone would give 3 soft 'chirps'.

The red LED doesn't go on, if the battery is in; and, there has been no other light, and there has been absolutely nothing on the screen.

Thanks!

PJA
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MindArchr:
This exact same thing happened to me when flashing (except I didn't knock the cord out). I tried all of the solutions found on these forms, and I even ordered a USB jig and nothing would work. I had the same thing happen with the red light coming on, wouldn't power on, tried the battery, holding the button combinations, etc.-still a no go. I finally gave up and had to ask for a replacement device unfortunately. I have an unopened USB jig from MobileTechVideos (I had ordered one from them and one from eBay) if you'd like to give it a shot with your device anyway.

maybe you can say that you think you have had a bad mother board samsung is replacing them with new devices it worth a shot...it not honest but if you want a new device it worth a shot...:fingers-crossed:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Madmanmoose:
I appreciate the suggestion. However, it was company property; and, I made the choice to screw around with it. As such, it is my responsibility; and, I won't scam Verizon or my employers to do some undeserved CYA.

MindArchr...thanks for the offer. Its very decent of you to do so; but, I have already arranged to make restitution for the device that I bricked; and, my company has ordered me another one.

The very best of luck and a very Happy Holiday, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and all that stuff to all of you!

I'm rooted, that's for sure. However, I can't get a custom recovery to stick (using ODIN). Have tried both of the custom recovery versions, CWM/TWRP. The ODIN flash fails right as it starts.

First FLASH OC Addon ZIP in bootmenu

Open Terminal Emulator (download it from market/google play)

type the following

su then hit enter

Now to Load the Modules type these One line at a time

insmod /system/lib/modules/symsearch.ko

insmod /system/lib/modules/cpufreq_hotplugX.ko

insmod /system/lib/modules/cpu_control.ko

Now to the overclock..

^ for 1200 Overclock

^ for 1125Mhz Overclock

echo hotplugx > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor hit enter

Done

**NOTE: This will not stick through reboot,in order to get this to stick on boot you would need Smanager from market, its free. Download it ,create a new document on in system/data folder and paste the lines that you are typing above into a blank document,save it,rename it to overclock.sh. open smanager and hit "Browse as Root"and then locate that file, click on it,then hit the Skull and crossbones (SU) ,and then hit the crank (BOOT) then hit save and exit.***
