Hardbrick to Softbrick ?!?

I have a Galaxy S3 I535, running 4.4.2, which I no longer use as a phone (have Galaxy Note 4 for that), and wanted to use as a music player, web browser, for fun, etc. The short story is I hardbricked the device with EZ-Unlock (ignorance) and followed the guide at the top of this thread. It worked like a charm, and I could use my device, booting from the sd card. Not leaving well enough alone, I attempted to return to normal operation from the internal storage card, by copying the 4.4.2 debrick.img file to the phone using the code provided to restore the boot loader, and restarted. That is, I plugged the phone into my computer, copied the debrick file to the phone's internal storage, and unplugged the phone. The external 16 gb sd was still installed. Using the command screen emulator, I entered: su

dd if=/sdcard/SCH-I535_d2vzw_4.4.2_debrick.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0

I then restarted. It vibrated, opened the Samsung Galaxy SIII banner page and nothing else. Now what? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

The only way to shut it off is to pull the battery. If I attempt recovery mode, with three buttons, it vibrates, there is a tiny blue text in the upper corner that says "recovery boot ...", but nothing happens. It then goes to the Samsung Galaxy SIII banner.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] RickVee:
Success!

Ignore the above. My device decided to open in download mode ... so, I odined the stock 4.4.2 ROM, and I now have an operating stock Galaxy S3. :)

5) Open up a Terminal Emulator on your phone and input this code

Code:

su

dd if=/sdcard/debrick.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0

6) Reboot

in terminal emulator im confused on what code to enter. Does the code include the entire string :

su

dd if=/sdcard/debrick.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0

or just

dd if=/sdcard/debrick.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0

Sorry just confused

Hey I bricked my phone after trying to boot in to recovery using clockworkmod. I did this method and it didn't work at all. What should I do from here?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] austen222222:
alright, when i follow these directions all goes well until i plug in the sd card. when i do so, my phone only vibrates but doesnt turn on... what does this mean ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] phonecow:
I had the same damn issue, i think its because the rest of the files are not for 4.4.2. I did fix the issue tho:

1. after trying the first bootloader with terminal and its in bootloop, do the following and flash in odin

Go here and flash the last file on the first post

2. download this file It is a stock recovery/firmware for 4.4.2

3. flash with Odin, it should reboot twice (once into recovery, second into normal startup after the flash is done)

4. Power off, take out sim card, power back and you will be back to were you left off before hardbricking the thing, except for root, you wont have root (if rooted)

Enjoy man, it took me 4hrs of hunting to figure that 4.4.2 peeps were using the wrong recovery files hehe.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] benbaptist:
Do you know how to flash that second link with heimdall? I'm on Ubuntu Linux and I cannot use odin. My Galaxy S3 is stuck at a bootloader bootloop after doing the dd command. (vibrates, shows Galaxy S3 banner, then disappears and vibrates twice, then shows banner again, etc.) It would be nice to avoid reflashing the stock ROM since I did de-bloat a lot of it manually and would hate to loose that work.

How to get bootloader files from SD to phone for normal boot.

So, I should have been smarter than this and all I was trying to do was find some way to stop Android System from burning up my battery to the tune of 35% or more. I hardbricked my phone and have successfully recovered using the instructions for my KitKat 4.4.2. My question is, the instructions for copying the file to the internal SD card is for a 4.3 hardbrick. Does a similar set of instructions exist for getting the files off the SD card and where they belong for a 4.4.2? Also, I can't get my phone into "download" or "recovery" booting from the SD card. The screens appear briefly, the phone vibrates and a normal boot ensues.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] JeffXT:
Does this work if the phone was on Cyanogenmod (CM12.1) when the hard brick occurred?

Prior to rooting/unlocking/flashing CM12.1, I had the MF1 firmware on 4.1.2.

my 16gb memory card is showing as 60mb,is the process suppose to work?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nwalk7800:
More

Sorry, I know this is an old thread.

I have an S3 that's already on 4.4.2 so there's no going back.

It seems to me that this method of booting to the sdcard would allow one to do more than just unbrick. Like maybe booting custom kernels or replacing the bootloader. Is that something that anyone has looked into already?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Youdoofus:
yep, downgrading doesnt work nor does booting a 4.4.1 bootloader. Trust me, this info comes from a once hardbricked VZW S3 owner. Ive tried several pre 4.4.2 bootloader images, and none worked. Also if youre trying to un-hardbrick your phone you NEED to match the internal storage capacity of the phone to the size of the SD card (i.e. if your phone is the 16 gig model, you HAVE TO use a 16 gig card, likewise for the rarer 32 gig phone, use the 32 gig card).

But i repeat, my phone wouldnt boot with a downgraded bootloader on the sd card irrespective of which pre 4.4.2 bootloader image i used, but the 4.4.2 did work, and with a small command in terminal, you can move the new image to the internal and take the sd card out as the phone will then be fixed
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Crest Niraz:

debrick.bin

for 4.4.2 there's debrick.img but not debrick.bin, will this work? already booted but i want my sd card storage back! i need to restore my stock bootloader...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] JeffXT:
Yes, the 4.4.2 debrick.img should work. Make sure you flash this file onto an SD card of exact size as your internal memory!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Remerged:
did what u said, same 16gb sdcard as the internal memory.

after making it boot from the sd card i formatted it to be able to copy debrick.img into the root directory, input the code in the terminal emulator, restart, and now the phone is dead again and i need to re-do the process from the beginning.

total fail, any ideas? i need to make this **** boot without the damn sd card formatted to be a 60mb one. **** :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] JeffXT:
Check the very last line of the OP (there's a link to an SD card formatter)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Youdoofus:
I'd start over if I was you. Mount the image to the formatted SD card, boot, go to terminal grant SU permissions and enter the code to move the image to the internal in the correct spot (can't recall where atm, but its in the thread. I know I've posted it at least once) and then you should be good to boot without the card

2nd post is where the stuff you need to move the file to your internal storage is
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Remerged:
i did what you told me, made it turn on without the SD card, now i'm stuck at the samsung screen mode, i think it's called a bootloop cuz it starts all over again turn on / turn off / etc always the same screen stuck

currently stuck booting from SD

Ok so I jumped the gun a little... This worked as far as booting with the SD card. I am using the Pre 4.3 Debrick image and can't seem to find the debrick.bin to copy from the SD card to the internal as mentioned in post 2.

I can boot into download, recovery (TWRP) and/or ROM (Alliance Build 23) as long as i keep the sd card in place.

Can I just flash the bootchain in Odin?

Or should I just flash a complete MF1 Firmware?

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dirtbiker288:
Ok so i tried this:

I pushed the .img file to the internal storage then ran terminal commands... But when I tried to boot all i got was an anime image of a female bobba fett??? that was never on my phone b4!?!?!

Luckly I could still boot into download mode, So I went ahead and used Odin to flash a complete stock MF1. All seems to be good, I'm running casual now.

---------- Post added at 04:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:36 PM ----------

Everything worked like a charm until I loaded TWRP using casual... then I got the ol yellow triangle take your phone to a Verizon store - DO NOT pass go, DO NOT collect $200! :p

Time to start over again...

Refreshed mf1 via Odin, then ran casual, installed latest twrp via Odin and everything works.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] skamego:
I have a I535 Galaxy S3 for Verizon. It was given to me bricked, not sure which version it was bricked on. I tried all three image files in the post, 4.3, pre 4.3, and 4.42. It booted with the external SD card with the pre 4.3 file.

I restored to "factory". I then had to change to the 4.42 file to get it to boot, but it still booted via external SD.

I then tried to move the image over to the internal card, but moved the 4.3 image file over by accident.

Now she's dead. The only activity I can get out of the phone at all is if I install the 4.3 image on the SD card, and all I ever get is a vibrate signal when I hold the power key down for 3 seconds. No screen, no image. I do have charge LED.

I've tried the external 300k resistor jig to get it into download, no luck. I've also tried all combinations of keys on all versions of the image file on external SD. Is it time to call this one done?

THhanks for any help,

I can't speak for the 4.4.2, but if you are able to boot from SD card, you might be able to rebuild with the stock 4.4.2 through Odin. That's what I did when I hard bricked my 4.3, and now it works like a charm.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Flapjack:
I would love if someone could help me out.

Basically, I had an old VZW S3 that I setup for my son. It was running an early version of 4.3, so I downgraded it to 4.1.2, rooted, and unlocked the bootloader using the EZ-unlock APK.

My ROM of choice was AICP, so I downloaded the latest version and installed it. It would finish up with setting up applications, then begin a bootloop where it would do the initial install over again.

I was told this was likely due to not having upgraded to the MF1 firmware, so I flashed the recommended firmware with NE1 modem, and now the phone is hard bricked.

I'd like to try the steps in the OP, but it currently has running AICP Lollipop 5.1 on it. Which file should I use?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SportsGuy:
My phone will not do anything without using this method. When I do use this method, it enters "BOOT RECOVERY MODE" and I get an error saying "FLASH WRITE FAILURE" "ODIN MODE".

I've then tried to use odin to fix it, but I get a write failure every time saying that there is no PIT file. When I try to write the PIT file, it says that my "TOTAL SECTORS: 0". I'm assuming this is because I booted up into my sd card rather than in my phone.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?
