Hi guys...

I need help.

I'm trying to do this fix.

I'm a lil confused...

I have a slax Linux cd and can boot in with bash #

when I type pwd it says i'm in /root

I try doing cd desktop where the debrick file is but it doesn't recognize my command.

Can I use slax? Do I need to put debrick on C:

Please. I have my 16gb sd card a sandisk.... just need to get this image on and then move on from my bricked s3.

Thank you all in advance.

p.s I don't know ubunto and couldn't find a download for it.

Now since that post I put debrick_sph_l710.img onto C: to go along with /root slax reports it's in. No dice. I noticed the file is actually named debrick_sph_l710.img.xz on my computer. I tried using that extention and still no dice. Getting desperate here. I have ODIN ready to go with the tar file...I just need to get download on this phone. Please help.

Is slax no good to use ? Can you point me to another download of a unix boot disk?

I've since tried cgwyn and the output below is what I was getting . I verified that debrick_sph_l710.img.xz is in the directory. That is a lower case L before the 710 yes?

Bonnie@Bonnie-PC /cygdrive/c

$ sudo dd if=debrick_sph_l710.img.xz of=/dev/sdf

-bash: sudo: command not found

Hi Sirs n all,

I m tired of searching jtag guy aroung my locality. Can anybody help me providing debrick image for ntt docomo samsung SC-06d.

I have bricked it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] IDontKnowMang:
Just take out the SD and use a mail in jtag
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] guruxin:
lovely answer. thanks mate. Actually I just wanted to try this SC card way before I send my cell via mail to nearby available location. Anyway waiting for some another views. Thanks for sparing time.

Is your Phone a GS3? The method we mentioned here we have only tested on GS3's.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] guruxin:
Sir, as u are having sprint s3 I am having NTT DoCoMo Samsung Galaxy S III LTE SC-06D. Just Japan variant.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] GeTex:
Ah, Okay, Mines a international variant (GT i9300) and I have a Verizon variant (SCH i535) So in this case, you have the quad core equivalent to my i9300 correct? If so, i wonder if yours follows the same procedure as mine... Anyways, i don't have a debrick image for your phone(it uses a system similar to my Exynos based i9300, our US versions are SnapDragon based)

But I can try and make a debrick image. However, i believe it will not work as the phone doesn't operate like ours.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] guruxin:
Qualcomm MSM8960 Snapdragon chipset
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] GeTex:
Huh, you have a SnapDragon?

Okay, then you can try one of our debrick img's, you'll need a linux disk to make it, a Micro SD card reader, a Micro SD card Class 10 matching your internal storage(16gb 32gb or 64gb). You should fdisk the sd card or use windows or something to remove all partitions from the sdcard. then put it in whatever is running linux, it gets complicated from here. You know how to use linux?

Here's a debrick image for GSM based phones.

http://angelfirenetworks.servegame.com/XDA/S3 Debrick IMG"s/debrick_SGH-T999.img
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] guruxin:
thanks boss.

I gave it a try. unfortunately it didn't helped. forgot to mention my device is lte. let me wait for exact sc 06d de brick image. I don't know Linux much but Google is my friend so making sd is not an issue. thanks anyway.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] GeTex:
you used "dd" to create the image yes?(if Debian based, i don't work around RPM's)

Also I didn't know Japan got LTE bands O_O

So use the Sprint image provided here. Hopefully it work instead.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bonebeatz1234:
Save your time and get it jtag. Did the same thing and tried just about everything to fix it. Paid 40 dollars to have it done in town and took 1 day. I live in chicago and there's plenty of shops that do it, some same day if there not busy. I just wished someone could have saved me the trouble, hope it works out for you.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] GeTex:
Hey, I did some research, you phone is still a GSM phone, not CDMA, use the image i provided, your actual model number is SGH-N064
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Azeedc:
The syntax you are using is wrong, it is for Linux based systems.

If you are using Cgwin the syntax is slightly different, ( no sudo ) command used in cgwin.

example : type this at the cgwin prompt......

dd if=/cygdrive/debrick_sph_l710.img of=/dev/sdc

Notes: very important....

1) " debrick_sph_l710.img.xz " file is a compressed file, must be extracted with 7zip to " debrick_sph_l710.img "

2) Place " debrick_sph_l710.img " inside cygdrive directory to make sure cgwin finds it.

3) Verify that your sd card name, in the example above ' sdc ' is correct, this changes depending on the particular computer.

4) SD card use a letter after the ' sd ', do not use any sd with numbers, for example sdc1.

5) Card must be class 10 or better with same capacity as your phone.

6) Revise command and location of cgwin and debrick file and check for typos.

7) Run command, is everything is correct you should get no errors and the sd card should boot the phone.

8) Finally you should get a response from cgwin indicating that a certain amount of records and MBs were written to the card.

Good luck

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] guruxin:
I tried all available here. also tried writing on 32 g card as this specific cell has got 32 gig internal. tried all various combinations of buttons. wrote disk with Mac windows and Linux as well. .

but but but ..I am damn sure it didn't worked out because I am not having exact same model debrick.img. .so I am now waiting for volunteers to obtain from their alive phone via adb or terminal and to post it back here ..I will wait as I have got lots of patience.

---------- Post added at 11:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:04 AM ----------

which device is technically similar as sgh-n064. any hint?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] GeTex:
your device is a SGH-N064 with a diff model number added by your carrier.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] guruxin:
so Samsung Galaxy S III SGH-I747 and Samsung Galaxy S III SGH-N064 are specifications wise same. .. right. means file available for 747 should help 064 to boot in dl mode.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] GeTex:
747 has a 850, 1900, 2100 MHz

UMTS / HSPA+ 3G radio

064 has a 800, 1700 (Band IX), 2100 MHz

UMTS / HSPA+ 3G radio

747 has a 700 (Band 17), 1700/2100 (AWS) MHz 4G radio

064 has a 2100 MHz 4G radio

the 747 DOES NOT have a broadcast receiver

the 064 does

Other than this, they share the exact same specs, so It should work, however, I don't know if it will or won't.

again, try writing the image to a partitionless MicroSD, then put it in the phone and hold the power button for 20 seconds. It took mine about 11 before it vibrated to life.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] guruxin:
what is concept or myth @ a Micro SD card Class 10 matching your internal storage (16gb 32gb or 64gb).. just asked for info...

I m ordering another card. will post back my experience here. BTW its getting interesting day by day
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] GeTex:
Use linux, type sudo fdisk /dev/sdx(x is your sd card letter), delete all partitions (enter d and it will either delete the single partition, or say partition 1-x, where you have to then type d and a number till they all are wiped, then type w to write the changes, should save it.

Installed Ubuntu. Got fresh 32 Gig Class 10 Card

Used both gparted n fdisk to be sure that sd card is not having any *** partitions.

Than wrote image with dd

Sent card to that paperweight s3 and tried all possible key combinations as mentioned here. No luck. Also tried the same with 747 image here. Had no chance. Any suggestions? I don’t believe in giving up. Please point me where I am wrong?

Still the same US Cellular Galaxy 3. Your mirrored link didn't work because I initially uploaded the wrong link.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] GeTex:
Updated IMG file
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Azeedc:
What is exactly that you are trying to achive with the conversion ?.

You can use a no frills program like 'Free Any Burn', anyburn dot com, magicISO and others.

These are two different and incompatible file formats and created by different programs.

The BIN extension generally is together with a CUE metadata file and was the creation of CDRWIN program still in existence.

The IMG extension was/is created by many command line DOS based programs/utilities such as HDTools and others.

As for opening the Sprint image, just use 7-zip, it is free.

Good luck
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] GeTex:
I extracted the BIN file for the SCH-i535, but I'm to lazy to convert it over to an IMG, someone else wanna do it?

Also I'm a bit to lazy to extract the sprint Image. I'll host it if someone de-zips it, but I'm to lazy to, unless you know the linux(debian) command line command to de-zip it.

Sir, I have same issue as op, flashed a 9300 kernel on sgh t999. Please help with the stock img file that can be flashed through sd card. Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] GeTex:
Hello, There's a bunch of things to do, but first one is to download the img.

Now This is my private Host, so please don't constantly download from it, cause apparently alot of people are and recently my bandwidth has been goin to **** XD.

But here's the file on my Host, http://angelfirenetworks.servegame.com/XDA/S3 Debrick IMG"s/debrick_SGH-T999.img

Now what you need is a Class 10 Micro SD card matching your internal storage. You need to wipe the sd card and image it with the image above, HOWEVER, I have only tested imaging personally using linux's "dd" command, so this is the only one I KNOW works. So you should be capable of saving your phone.

I recommend erasing the sdcard, i used linux's fdisk for this

If you don't have a linux machine, then you can go get a ubuntu live iso, which will run linux, WITHOUT Installing it. Also If you are unfamiliar with linux, You'll need to know alot.

Let me know if you need more help, I hopefully can get your phone running by tonight.

You all have probably figured this out a long time ago but here is my 2 cents:

Hardbricked my i747m (Telus) and was crying the blues. I have no Linux experience but tried the cygwin stuff, all with no luck.

I could not find a way to get that unbrick image onto the sd card...UNTIL....win32diskmanager! Just burnt the img file using this program, held down the power button and boom! Loaded right into twrp! Going to install stock img and see how everything goes!

Update: Rebooted into Download mode manually, odin'd stock img and now running slimbean 4.3.

Thanks for everyone's info and hope I helped out with a linux-free method for us dummies.

Good luck.

Download and install win32diskmanager, open the above image with that program and write to your blank, formatted sd card of the same size as your phone's internal memory. Once the write is done, put sd card in your S3 and hold down the power button until it loads.

Then, reboot in download mode (sd card still in). It wouldnt do it from twrp for me, had to up, power and vol.

Odin a stock image and you are good to go!

Maybe I should open a new thread for GS3's

Also david, Incase you haven't figured it out, this entire thread is dedicated to qualcomm variant S3 debricking, you have a Exynos with a Cortex A9 ARM, so you won't have the same anything as us. Most of us can't help, but we'll be happy to try.
