While trying to use the Sprint debrick.img listed in the OP, I discovered that the dates on all the files were from April of 2013, which stands to reason that that is not a 4.3 debrick image and therefore wouldn't work for 4.3. I have in my hand a completely stock 4.3 rooted L710 and wanted to make a 4.3 debrick image - just wanted to confirm that the above command is correct to run in Terminal
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] GeTex:
I'd love to provide you a working debrick for 4.3, but we still haven't got our webserver up. Bad month for income.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] iBowToAndroid:
But I'm saying that I can create my own - I have a rooted S3 sitting right here. I just need to verify the command(s) to run in Terminal to create it..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] GeTex:
I'm aware, But i had all the debrick images everywhere for everyone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] iBowToAndroid:
And I do hope you guys get your server back up. But for the meantime, can you or someone else confirm the command(s) I need to run so I can do this?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] GeTex:
I already did. You had the right command
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] iBowToAndroid:
Sweet! Got it. Have any need for one right this moment? Can upload if so.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] GeTex:
Sure, will help me establish a second Image

Had to use a jig

You, sir, are a scholar and a gentleman! A god among insects!

Had to burn image to my card, and then plug in a jig BUT IT FREAKING WORKED!'

To be clear: I flashed the wrong modem to my S3 (stupid stupid stupid) after I updated to 4.3. No debrick images worked, bought a jig, and it did nothing. Brought the phone to two different cell repair shops and baffled the techs.

I wrote the image to a card, but all I got was a vibration, and no boot. But then I plugged in the jig and BAM download mode ahoy! Flashed back to stock 4.3 and rainbows came shooting out of my phone, unicorns came out and gave me a delicious cake.

iBowToAndroid, your image saved the day.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] iBowToAndroid:
:victory::D:p:good:

I love your elaborations lol. I'm glad to hear it worked, though there's really not any reason why it wouldn't have...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] iBowToAndroid:
Have you tried the file in the OP? The dates on the files are from early April of last year (IIRC) so the latest version that one could be would be 4.1.1, since 4.1.2 (MD4) was not released until late April. Might still work though if they didn't update the bootloader for MD4.

At&t s3 alive and kicking!!!

Thanks to each and everyone here who have shared their ideas, pains and gains.

Had rooted my S3 and played around with custom roms, the last one i tried was 4.4.2 CynogenMod, which was working fine...until i tried one UI update (don't recall which one) and it missed to clear the cache, dalvik, etc..the next thing i knew my phone went dead....only the red light came on without batter and went away after 30sec..that's the only sign of life i noticed. Luckily read this and tried it..one on 16gb(class 6) and other on 32Gb (class 10)...followed the method and viola...my S3 is ALIVE again...It did not work on the 16gb (class6) but easliy worked on the 32 gb !class 10), Sandisk card....

Thanks once again...its saved me alot and my faith in the mod world is now stronger than ever...

YOU GUYS ROCK!!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] chris_sperez:

It doesn't matter what ROM you were running. The firmware version (bootloader) is what matters. You need an img for whatever stock version you last had on the phone prior to installing a ROM.

UPDATE: Got my phone fixed. Found one debrick image from TeamUSCellular that sorta worked but phone was boot looping and surprisingly enough i found another debrick image on this site that worked, loaded up completely but i still could not get into recovery so went back to TeamUSCellular and downloaded a stock rom installed androidtoolkit and flashed my phone via odin and all is well, Thank you guys for all the great information you provide.

It's not as simple as dropping the file onto the card. You need to write the .img to it using DD commands, which is a Linux command. If you use Windows, use Win32DiskImager

Is the boot.img for the samsung s3 r530 the same as the r530u model ?:confused:

---------- Post added at 08:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:38 PM ----------

I flashed a i9300 to my s3 r530u (us cellular). What can i do? get a boot.img and flash it? im lost..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] iBowToAndroid:
you need a recovery image that was pulled from a rooted r530u that had the same firmware version that your phone did when you flashed the i9300 package
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] yahoonuts:
where can i find one of those? can i use the boot.img from a 4.3rom i used before?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] iBowToAndroid:
It's not a boot.img. It's a debrick.img. Boot.img usually refers to a kernel. You probably won't have much luck finding one here on XDA since I don't think that any USC phones have their own forum. But you could try posting a thread in a generic GS3 forum asking if there are any rooted USC users willing to help. Or try a USC-oriented forum. I've seen a couple out there.

Before I installed Deadly Venom, and the Bootloader/Modem zip, I was running stock Android 4.3 Firmware, Can I confirm this as a Bootloader Brick or is it a Modem Brick?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] RoryB:
It's a bootloader brick. You downgraded from official 4.3 to the leaked version. The leaked one did not have Knox if I remember correctly.

I think there is an ATT thread for official debrick SD card image.

I assume you have an ATT phone since you were flashing MJ2/MJB

Something new just happened, I wrote the image to my SD Card, put it in my phone, then I put my battery in, and my camera flash flashed me. Is that a sign of hope?

I'm not sure if you should report that to the police or to Kodak.

Actually, I do not recall anyone else having that happen.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ILikeCoCoPuffs:
First time for everything I guess, and I'm the original owner of the phone, so I know it ain't stolen.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] RoryB:
Sorry about that, I was joking about flashing as in exposing one's self.

If I installed a 4.4.2 based ROM previously, would that have updated my Modem, and Bootloader?

LOL, oh, my bad.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] RoryB:
Most custom work does not include the bootloader. You should check that thread to be sure. I still think if you were on MJB and tried to go back to MJ2, this would have caused the brick.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
Lol dude, that wasn't the point of my comment, great job figuring it out

All I did was pass a dump that was useless (to me) on to gTan64. He's the one who made the magic happen :thumbup:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nlz242:
I ended up getting two images (from different i747m) owners and a 16gb sd card. Wrote the images on the SDCard and been trying to boot the phone onto it.

Not much succes so far, i cant get the thing to boot into recovery at all...

Tried playing around with "Brixfix" but havent had much succes there either (Got the hex files to write but not to execute).

I'll keep trying but it isn't looking too good :/
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Techlyfe:
LOL I know, but your comment reminded me to thank you and these are the 3 reasons!

1. You passed that dump to him which you didn't HAVE to do.

2. If you didn't do it, who knows how long it may have taken him to get a hold of that image from any other source.

3. You helped him out b4 i bricked my g3 and had to send it to someone for debricking service. Yes a bit selfish of me...

Sorry to hear of your troubles, let's see if I can advise:

When you plug that sd card into a pc or usb card reader after you DD the img onto the card, what exactly does it look like, or how are the partitions situated? For instance, after I understood how to correctly apply the img to the sd card, i realized i finally did it right because the sd card had 20+ partitions on it. But b4, when i thought i did it correctly, it still had the same fat32 file structure and 1 file that i left on the card just to see if it would be removed.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nlz242:
Thanks alot for the information.

My SDCard content looks ok, it has 23 partitions. Only one is of a known filesystem (at least to windows (im at work right now)) which is fat and it contains a directory named "image" with modem files (modem.mdt, modem.b00, ...) and other similar file series (dsps.mdt, modem_f1.mdt, etc)

I have another sdcard, which i tried to boot on, which is a 64gb one. It looks similar except it has unallocated space at end (expected).

I guess my issue at this point is getting the device to try it's "emergency sdcard boot"... I tried reading some of the MSM8960 documentation to see what are the prerequisite to go into this boot mode, but i havn't found much. Using a JIG may be an option to force it into this mode, not sure, i have a JIG on the way so i'll be able to try that.

Also, im not 100% certain that i'm doing the boot process correctly. I've tried the way outlined by deBricker:

So yeah, battery in (the phone led is unlit), plug usb, hold-power for about 20s, release and quickly hold VolumeDown+Power+Home.

I've tried just holding the 3 buttons from the point where i insert the SDCard (before pluging the usb cord) and holding it for 30s or so and then releasing and holding em again quickly...

I've also tried without battery in, holding the buttons and plugging the phone (when i plug the phone, without a battery in, the led is lit red).

EDIT:

Thinking about it... this may be my issue... i know i only have the first 128mb, which contain the partition table itself... so that works to create the partitions but i may be missing some content! I'll try to figure out what goes into which of the 23 partitions and copy missing files / dd some .img files from my Odin flashes..

That could be it... Ill update later with my findings.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nlz242:
I give up. I tried flashing every partitions with files from Odin one by one, a couple of times...

JTAG repair is what i'll! :/
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Techlyfe:
No, Don't give up! It could be something as simple as the type of sd card that you are using. I remember when I modded a sd card for my treadmill, <yes, those can be modded also> it had to be a precise card, most others wouldn't work at all. Also I'm not sure what your next step was but after my card was properly modded I put it in my phone, put the battery in and I believe it just jumped on. Damn now that I think of it, I should have run some tests on different cards and sizes and maybe video taped my phones rebirth...

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nlz242:
Yes, i did follow that too. My partitions were fine (written by dd using images from working i747m). I had about 20 partitions on the card. Figured that maybe some of those partitions content was important and obviously not part of the first 128mb, so i tried writting individual partitions (again with dd) from the same Odin tar that was used on the working "donor" phone. Even after that, i could never get it to actually boot on the SD.

Mind you, ive tried that on different SD cards, multiple times (spent about 20hours trying, tweaking, retrying, etc).

When i gave up, i went to a guy who had a riffbox and the 747 adapter (clips unto the chip, no soldering) to get it revived. Cost me $35cdn. So it's up and running now (this is written from said device). The guy who fixed it suggested that the boot-on-sd feature may have been disabled on i747m or requires hardware modifications (ala Unbrickable mod for the Galaxy Camera), it was only a theory but it did seem plausible.

Dude you are awesome!!! Both you an gTan64. After searching for months on how to debrick a Sprint GS3 (most people dont know the difference between hard and soft brick, kept telling me to go into download and re-flash) I stumbled upon this thread. Worked like a charm the first try.

A note to other Sprint GS3 Brickers, you need an SDcard the size of your phone, if you have a 32gb GS3, you cannot (CANNOT!) use a 16gb sd to recover. I tried and was getting frustrated with my 16gb GS3 by using an 8gb sdcard. Went out and bought a Class 10 16gb, worked flawlessly.

Again, thanks abunch to CNexus and gTan64.
