[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Where are you trying to use ls and why? You said you then went back to the OP? So what were you trying to do before? The OP has the instructions that you should be following exactly.

Once you find where the sdcard is mounted using dmesg, the command you need to run is the dd command. Not ls. After the if= you enter the path to the debrick.img. So if you put it in your home folder (and let's say your card is mounted at sdc) it would probably look something like this (been a while so I might be a little off):

dd if=/home/xxxxxxxx/debrick.img of=/dev/sdc

I know you said this didn't work, but did it output anything after you hit enter? How long did you wait? ( make sure you mind the direction of the slash's btw. They are opposite what you might be used to in Windows.)

Anyway, after that dd command, your debrick sdcard should be done. You can then use the parted command to verify.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ikrusnik:
I got it to work as mention in the last post and even saw the 23 partitions. I tried to insert the SD card in but nothing. :/

I'll do what you said, Doc. Keep tryin'.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Good Luck!!!

If I can help more, I definitely will, but it sounds like your best assets now will be patience and persistence!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ikrusnik:
I get this:

262144+0 records in

262144+0 records out

134217728 bytes copied, 29.72s, 2.2MB/s

I checked the 23 partitions and they're there. Could it be I need another image? I tried both the non-4.3 and the 4.3. But I do remember that when I changed the ROM in my T-mobile S3 that the device started calling itself sgh-i747, but I know that wasn't true.

Any ideas now, [MENTION=3505796]KAsp3rd[/MENTION] , [MENTION=4081205]DocHoliday77[/MENTION] ?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
The 4.3 image should work regardless of what you are running. But the non 4.3 image will only work if you never updated to 4.3 firmware via Odin or ota. If you're not sure, it won't hurt anything to try it though.

And that output you get after dd looks correct to me...

And sometimes ported ROMs, or if you flashed an att ROM, it will display that its a different model because it wasn't changed in the build.prop. sometimes this can make a difference when flashing ROMs, but that's pretty rare. It shouldnt have any effect on this process though.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ikrusnik:
Yeah, just to clarify, I am in this position because I tried upgrading from 4.1.2 to 4.2 firmware? I dont really remember the developer but it was on these forums. I had wanted to use CM 11 but was not allowed because the CM site said I needed to upgrade my device to 4.2 or higher.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
We don't actually have 4.2 firmware. Do you mean 4.3? Or if you flashed something that was 4.2 can you link to it?

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Khaloodz:
Hey guys Ive been trying to debrick my device and nothing is working. T999V rooted with latest CWM to Cyanogen 10.0.0. All other releases wouldn't flash on my device and so I found this thread about updating my boot-loader () and well I think I flashed the most up to date boot-loader even though my phone was running android 4.1.2 since I was on CM 10.0.0.

Anyways both pre 4.3 and 4.3 debrick images didn't work for me, I used Win32DiskImager and it successfully wrote the debrick image onto the micro SD but when I try to power up in download mode I get nothing. I would reaaaaaaaaally appreciate your help since this is my only phone!!!!

hard brick Galaxy S2(SGH-T989)

i'm sorry to post here. :(

i have same problem as you guys have with your S3.

my phone is hard bricked yesterday and it wont even boot in download/odin mode.

i have two phones. both are same and both are running same custom rom. now the problem is one is hard bricked so can i use debrick img of another phone to get bricked phone back in odin mode? and for my phone, can i use that method you mentioned in 1st post?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] imadsen:
I'm about to try and see if this will work on my T999L. I've been booting this phone off the SD card for 5 months now, and it's about reaching the end of its life cycle. If this doesn't work, I'll be buying a new phone, but I'd rather wait til my contract ends (another 11 months I think). Unfortunately, since I moved, T-Mobile has terrible coverage in my area. Wifi calling has helped, but my wifi isn't reliable either, so yeah.... :eek:

Whatever the result is, I'll let you know.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] imadsen:
Idk why I thought I needed a 4.3 img because I just checked my version. As you can see in my attachment, I'm running 4.1.2 on T999LUVAMB7. The img I just used worked to boot my phone though. I just need to see if I can get it to boot without the SD card. Will update with results.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] imadsen:
Still no better off than I was before. I'm stuck on how to keep from needing the SD card to boot my phone.

Used ODIN to install UVAMB7 firmware. I take out the SD card when ODIN mode starts on the S III, and my PC says it's all a success, but it won't boot when it restarts, so I have to use the SD card to get it running again, and that takes forever.

Even used the PIT file from [MENTION=4081205]DocHoliday77[/MENTION], but I'm just at a loss here. Do I need a new bootloader? Really don't see the point of recycling this phone if I can fix it and save myself a couple hundred dollars.

Been stuck on T-Mobile loading screen for a half hr now. Guess I won't have a phone for work tomorrow.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mvanwey:
Saved me again

T999UVUENC

I accidentally flashed older firmware & bricked it.

This worked perfectly first time except the debrick image. I run ubuntu, but for some reason could not get the debrick image to work on the micro SD.

Since I need Win 7 to run ODIN, i set up adb and the disc imager on my son's machine.

I accidentlly flashed a rom called Blekota_Note4_Lite_I9300_V3_Aroma for my Galaxy S3 T-Mobile and now it won't boot. I realize I flashed the wrong rom, but anyway to restore this phone back?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] The_MamaBee:
I'm trying to resurrect my S3 because I'm stubborn and it's me against the brick now. :) I've read over all this and I believe I'm doing it right, but cannot get it to work. I'm using a totally bricked S3, I get the QHSUB_DLOAD and red light o' doom. I'm using a Windows system and a 16GB microSD. The 4.3 version is what I'm using as the other didn't work at all. It's a Tmo phone.

I got it to attempt to boot once, it installed "Samsung Android" drivers, I got the Samsung Galaxy SIII splash screen, and nothing else. If I hold down the power+volume down+home it'll flash a screen that says something about how dangerous it is to load your own OS, blah blah, volume down to cancel, then reboots back to the splash screen without giving me time to read it or choose any option. This is all while holding down the three buttons, letting go of them after the vibration causes it to just go to the splash.

I used Win32DiskImager to load the debrick image onto the card, but there we no partition options or anything as there were in the Linux video.

I'd really love some input as to what I'm doing wrong. Thanks in advance for any advice!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cLogic:
if holding power+volDown+Home gives you the download mode screen (dangerous blah blah), then the debrick worked ;)

hold power+volDown+Home until it vibrates ... then let go of the power button, but keep volDown+Home pressed until you see the warning .. then let go of all buttons

it is rebooting cuz you are still holding volDown and it said volDown to cancel ;)

you need to accept, then plug in to pc and push the stock firmware (or root66) via Odin

after the Odin of stock firmware (approx 20 mins), the reboot should bring the phone back to how it was when you bought it ;)

good luck!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] The_MamaBee:
Thank you. However, now the phone won't power on at all, I can't get it to boot at all with or without the microSD, and the computer doesn't recognize it. What have I done wrong?

Also, my microSD is not being recognized now by the computer, and I've tried both the desktop and the laptop with our card reader, both with and without the adapter (microSD to SD)

I'd really appreciate any thoughts. Thanks!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cLogic:
fyi I edited My post a couple times to be more clear ... so re-read above

welcome to windoze ... relax, take a deep breath .. repeat the OP procedure and simply re-make the microsd debrick

you may have to let windoze reformat it first

try windoze reboot .. kick it, etc ... altho it IS possible that something has destroyed the card
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] The_MamaBee:
Thank you for taking the time to try to help me, it's much appreciated.

Here are the current state of things:

*When I got it to boot last with the card, letting go of the buttons at any time caused a reboot to the splash screen

*I needed my card back for my Moto G 2014, so I formatted it and put it back in my phone (left town for the weekend)

*Now when I went to put it back in the card reader to do the debrick process again, the card reader didn't recognize it and it didn't come up as a storage option

*I tried putting it in my Moto G, plugging the USB into it and moving the debrick image to it that way, but I still cannot get the S3 to even give me the splash screen or the red light anymore

I'm frustrated as heck because my Moto is doing some frustrating things, and I want to resurrect the s3, but I'm just not getting it to go.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cLogic:
refer back to the OP (first post) ... you cannot "copy/move" a linux image to the card ... you need to use the win32diskimager to write the image to the card properly

try that process again .. see if win32diskimager can see your card .. if it cannot then either the card is toast (damaged) or the adaptor .. try another card

you have to hold the buttons until you get the small blue print at top .. then let go

this is after it vibrates, and after the splash

the phone will Not boot in any way until the card with a valid debrick img is inside

Maybe 32MB SD card?

I had a T999 with 4.3 OTA update, I didn't read the forum & tried to use an older firmware (CM10.2) Total Brick. This saved my butt. Running StockMod ROM now. All good

Not sure why the thread says a 32 MB SD since the image is not anyhere that big. I used a 32GB class 10 micro SD - Newegg Item=N82E16820220767.

-upon inserting SD card & Power ON

- it gives me this screen. (Kindly open the attachment).

I removed SD and Connected Usb cable to PC & phone as well.

Then a Samsung Modem is being detected in Device Manager and ODIN can sense it also.

-- but i m not able to flash PIT or Full one part TAR or Multi Part TAR anyhow :( :(.. not an inch of movement.

If SD removed - phone is being detected as a port named "Qualcom HS-USB QDLoader 9008" on my PC.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] frostinide:
Big thanks to [MENTION=1003321]PhyerFly[/MENTION]. The same thing happened to me. I have a Sandisk 16gb class 2, and this process did not work (I tried many things dozens of times). I was ready to give up. I finally went out and bought a Sony 16gb class 10 microsd which worked great!

Why this happens? No idea. I originally thought it was because the Sandisk one wasn't big enough. From Linux: If I run sudo blockdev --getsize /dev/sdc to get the number of sectors, Sandisk returns 31116288 while Sony returns 31291392. However, when running fdisk on the actual debrick img, it shows only 30775295 so both of them are big enough for the whole partition table. Bottom line: I can't figure out the reason, but try another card if you fail.

To [MENTION=3505796]KAsp3rd[/MENTION]: you may want to put this info in the OP.

PS: Don't install the recovery from ROM Manager, that's what got me into this mess in the first place. Installing TWRP from Odin worked great. :)

Hey everybody.

I have a T999l that is bricked and shows the qhsusb in explorer.

Seems like my friend tried to flash another T999 variant on it.

Tried the T999l image from here and it doesn't work.

Used it on a 16gb Samsung and a 16gb Sandisk card.

Tried on windows and Ubuntu.

Phone doesn't turn on. It still shows the red light without the battery when connected on the pc.

Thought it was the battery without charge, left charging and still it doesn't turn on with the sd cards with the debrick images loaded.

Maybe I need another version, I really would like to boot.

Finally tried with the T999 4.3 and the T999 normal version and still no luck.

I'm open to all suggestions, please help.

Thanks.

FLASH WRITE FAILURE = NAND DEAD

JTAG is only fix - you have the bad emmc nand chip - search for Sudden Death Syndrome SG3 you'll understand what I mean then - JTAG can revive this at this pt but you'll probably have the same issue later on when your nand gives out - faulty blocks . etc - it was a bad nand chip - gave up after that JTAG is not worth the price. You can find a broken screen S3 on ebay if your lucky under 100$ and replace the mobo onto your phone to revive it.

Hey everyone! I was just thinking that with the recent firmware updates we should try to get a collection of debrick.imgs for each variant running the new fw.

I have already made two for the T999 running OH1. Will upload and post later today.

We will of course need them from the T999V/L/N models as well.

Anyone willing just needs to read the first page for instructions.

Better to be proactive and get them all now rather than wait till one of us really needs it!

Thanks!

hey doc ... long time no see

your post made Me lookup firmware and lo and behold ..

there is actually a T999VVLUFNH4 (still 4.4.2) from 2015-10-01 !

any idea what this update is/has and why they released it?

we know that NH2 (2014-09-01) was nothing except to close the hole used by towelroot in NF1 (2014-06-01)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Hey man! I hope thing have been well for you!

AFAIK it was primarily to address the stagefright vulnerability. That reminds me though, I need to update the fw thread again. I think I already posted that one but its at the end, not in the op yet. Interesting thing is that all T999V carriers fw are identical this time around. So there may have been more done to it than im aware of.

I think all Qualcomm S3s got updates. Once again though T-Mobile seems to have actively denied us the 4.4.2 update. We just got another 4.3... (It's still the one thing that irks me about them!)

Anyway, if you find anything else about the update, let me know.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cLogic:
I am running with the NF1 baseband

I didnt bother with the NH2 update since it was just the patch to close the towelroot exploit

I've been running aosp roms for last 2.5 years ... touchwiz only lasted 6 months on My phone, lol

I'm not sure if I'm gonna flash this new NH4, yet ... cuz of what it involves to go back an entire version

nandroid (boot/system/data/cache) + backup sdcard (data/media) + remove extsdcard

If I do flash this new NH4 just in case there's actually a firmware modem/radio update, I doubt that I'll remain on stock for more than 10mins (to let it settle) before restoring the nandroid, etc and getting back to aosp lollipop 5.1.1 ... so I wont be noticing any touchwiz "features"

if I do flash it ... would you prefer that I make a debrick while it is still stock + twrp ?

cheers,
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
That would be awesome. We all know eventually someone's gonna need it! If you decide not to bother with the updated firmware though, that's fine. I know we will be able to get it elsewhere at some point and I understand not wanting to deal with the hassle if you've got it running how you want already!
