Baffled

I hard bricked a friends SGH-T999V. I had successfully installed CWM and may have flashed it with an incorrect bootloader that I came across on the forums.

I have tried all debrick images on the thread using both the linux and the windows method. I verified and the 23 partitions get created. Tried it a few times with each image on the thread but have had no luck getting the phone to boot. I am currently using a 32gb - Class 10 sdcard.

Been at it for 14+ hours (spread out over 2 days). The S3 was running stock 4.4.2 prior to getting hard bricked.

I appreciated any help with this.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Really depends on what was on the device before flashing. But not all sd cards will work. Try using different ones.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] balcony22:
Thanks. I will try another SD card.

Prior to the flashing, the phone was running stock 4.4.2 and all I had done in addition was install CWM d2tmo.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
You will need a 4.4.2 debrick.img then. I've got one here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95747613655049000

Do you remember which build the firmware you were running was? This image is NF1. If you had something different or newer, it will not work. If you had updated to NH2 for example, you will have to have an image from a device running NH2. Nothing else would work.

I don't believe there is an NH2 debrick.img though. We'd have to find someone willing to make it. (Easier said than done lately.)

Anyway, if you were running the NF1 build, the image above should work just fine.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] balcony22:
Doc, This did the trick. It worked perfectly.

Was able to get it booted and flashed the official firmware from your odin thread.

You're awesome :)

4.4.2 NF1 Debrick

I've managed to Hard Brick my phone and am in a similar position as balcony was. I'm using a Wind GS3 SGH-T999V and used Mobile Odin Pro to flash the Wind variant of 4.4.2 (T999VVLUFNF1_T999VYVLFNF1_GLW) Stock on my phone to be able to fix a CM11 GPS issue. I opted out of flashing the stock recovery -- is that why it happened?

Anyway, it booted fine the first time out of Mobile Odin but once I restarted, it Hard Bricked -- QHSUSB_DLOAD and all. I've tried using all the SGH-T999V debrick images in the original thread including the one that worked for balcony above, confirming 23 partitions, but I'm still having no luck. I have 2 different SD cards I'm trying them on, a 16GB Class 10 and a 32GB Class 10 and both aren't allowing the phone to boot.

Any more insight to this issue? I can provide as much additional information as required.

Debrick T-Mobile SIII attempt

Hello,

Firstly let me say this forum seems to be one of the best sources of information based on my search to resolve my bricked SIII.

I'm afraid the methods and jargon used are unfamiliar to me so I attempted to follow your instructions as best I can.

ISSUE: Phone "bricked" I think I remember seeing the phone trying to update something just before it suddenly shut down.

I'm just looking to recover files off the phone as this is a work phone and ironically I get an upgrade in a weeks time.

Model: SGH -T999 16 gb ( T-Mobile)

Attempt:

I followed the instructions using windows.

Downloaded win32diskimager

Downloaded 4.3 debrick image ( also tried not 4.3 image)

Copied debrick image on to SD card using win32diskimager( SD card FAT32, 16gb and Class 10)

Plugged SD card into my phone, inserted power and battery.

Felt the phone vibrate and got all excited.

However, went into Boot recovery Mode.

Shows:

BOOT RECOVERY MODE:

CHECK BOOT PARTITIONS.

COPY FROM T-FLASH

BOOT RECOVERY..

WRITE 159488 sectors..

FLASH WRITE FAILURE

ODIN MODE

Product Name: SGH-T999

Custom Binary Download: No

Current Binary : Samsung Official

System Status: None

Qualcomm secure boot: ENABLE

Warranty Bit: 0

BOOTLOADER AP SW REV: 1

I did try the above with the not 4.3 image but this didn't do anything.

Have I misunderstood something and done anything wrong?

Any advise from here would be greatly appreciated.

Had some issues, but resolved them

I had some issues after flashing the radio and bricking my device in the manner described in this thread. The method described in this thread did not directly resolve my issue, the system would not boot and I was left with a black screen. I think this was due to the version of radio I installed.

I downloaded T999VVLUFNF1_T999VYVLFNF1_GLW.zip, the most recent available stock firmware for the device for my carrier. I un-tar'red the file and dd'ed each partition by name over the partition created by the 4.3 version of the image of this thread. Following this, my phone would boot.

I took an image of the resultant sdcard, but it's very large so I don't really have an easy way of sharing it. I zipped the image and it's still 1 GB.

edit:

I want to add that the latest version of AOKP did not work for my device. It kind of worked, but the boot time was slow and awful. Using pure Cyanogenmod resolved the issue.

Bricked SGH-T999

Hello,

I have a hard bricked SGH-T999 model S3, I've tried this method many times over and have not had success, am very certain I am doing it correctly. My phone does not turn on, it does show up as QHSUSB_DLOAD in windows. I am currently trying to use a SanDisk 32 gb micro sdhc, class 2. I was wondering if I need a 16gb micro sd card, since my device is a 16 gb model. If I do need a 16gb micro sd, what brand/class do you recommend, if it matters? Should I bother trying the usb jig devices I've seen on ebay/amazon?

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] out of my element:
Bricked phone with no ROM installed

I wiped my phone (sys/data/cache) in order to install new bootloader and Android 4.4 ROM. I was installing the bootloader first and rebooted to recovery mode but instead it bricked and screen no longer turns on. On second look the bootloader installed was a corrupted file without a matching MD5, I should have checked before...

Computer only recognizes phone as QHSUSB_DLOAD. I tried the steps in this post multiple times with multiple boot images. Do you have to have a ROM installed for this to work? Which image should I theorhetically use since there is no Android ROM installed? Thanks for the assistance.

Hello

Hello.

That is good news. Do you have Samsung Galaxy S2 SHV-E120S Debrick image file.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] isosphere:
Hi, sorry for the long delay. I don't log in much.

DD is a linux tool that provides byte-by-byte image copying. If you look at the partitions on the SD card, they have different names that correspond to the different image files. the DD program allows you to write the image directly on the partition. Basically, "dd if=/where/the/image/is.img of=/dev/DEVICE_NAME_OF_PARTITION". The partition will be something like /dev/sdd5.

Search around for how to use the tool in general, there's a lot of material out there. It's not trivial if you aren't already comfortable with more advanced computer stuff. If you are on Windows, you can use "cygwin" to get a basic linux-ish thing in Windows that will give you access to dd.

re: debrick image for T999V 4.4.2 NF1

Here's what happened to me:

Phone : Samsung S3 t999v from WindMobile Canada

- Updated to 4.4.2 OTA I think I was actually on NH2

- Tried flashing a "T999V VLDLL1 Bootloader + Modem (Flashable .zip)" because I was having an issue with my motorcycle helmet & Bluetooth, for some reason I thought this might resolve the issue. Turns out I wasn't turning my helmet in to a special mode to re-pair with my new phone.

- No action on my phone since. Wouldn't turn on or vibrate. Windows gave QHUSB_DLOAD if I plugged in with USB cable. The red light would come on for a minute then turn off.

- Ended up buying a Galaxy ACE-II and used Carbon Rom for months.

- Recently decided I didn't like my smaller heavier phone and tried to ressurect my S3 using all sorts of debrick images. No dice.

- Didn't see this thread until I tried posting elsewhere, where I saw another guy having a similar issue with the same model phone. Got the file from this thread (T999V-4.4.2-NF1_debrick), used Win32 Disk Imager to burn it to a 16gb Class 10 Sandisk micro sd. Popped it in my phone, put the battery in, plugged it in to my computer. BOOM there is life! It vibrated and started charging.

- I had a hard time getting in to download mode. It would flash for a second then continue to boot the phone. I managed to get back in to ClockWork recovery mode and chose to reboot the bootloader. After selecting it I held down the 3 button combo and it went straight to the "downloading" screen bypassing the warning screen. Lucky?

- The phone still required the microsd to boot, otherwise it was dead in the water. I Couldn't find a bootloader file and couldn't be bothered wasting more time so I...

- took out the microsd while it was in download mode.

- Flashed 4.4.2 Stock (T999V_GLW_T999VVLUFNH2_T999VYVLFNH2_Original) via Odin 3.09 (selecting the file with "AP" button and auto-reboot and f.reset both checked). It took a long time to flash (13 minutes), just be patient Got a green "PASS" in Odin.

- Phone turned off, I worried, then it vibrated and turned on, did a little update and eventually booted up.

So my phone is back on the latest OTA for my phone for Windmobile and booting without a microsd. I'm back in action with this phone!

Thank you to everyone who puts so much time and effort in to helping others with their phone problems. It's very much appreciated! Couldn't have done it with out you guys!

Bricked T999L

I've got a T-Mobile T999L device that I rooted and wanted to flash a customer recovery. I tried running EZ - Unlock because for some reason I thought the bootloader would need to be unlocked first and this ended up bricking my phone. (Apparently it's already unlocked)

After rebooting my phone it won't show any sign of life. I've got an external battery charger so i can charge the battery fine, but when i put the battery in there's no response as many on here have said before.

I'm almost positive the phone was running 4.3 prior to being bricked, it wasn't rommed and was only rooted hours before i decided to try unlocking the bootloader.

Now when i plug it in to my computer it recognizes it in the DLOAD mode and says there are no drivers.

I've tried the T999L Debrick.img on a 16gb sandisk card, I also tried it on an 8gb HC brand card, neither one get's the phone running.

I'm on windows 7, using the win32 disk imager. I've tried it twice with each card and I insert the card, i press power, hold power, hit power down, power up, and it shows no signs of life. When i insert it into my computer it still goes to that QHSUSB_DLOAD device.

I'm able and willing to follow device and directions from someone that knows what they're doing I just need a helping hand because it feels like I'm up a creek without a paddle, thanks guys.

So I accidently flashed the international rom on to my SGH-t999L phone.

Now it is hard bricked.

I followed the directions and I used the SGH-t999l debrick file. I burned it on my by microsd card. But my phone is still not starting so what am I doing wrong? Does my SD card had to be in a different format. Currently its FAT32. I would really appreciate assistence. I am a bit new to this type of stuff.

Hey,

First off thanks for all the work you guys have done/are doing to help dummies like myself.

Ok so I bricked my galaxy s3, SGH-t999v. Power button does nothing, when I plug into my computer with the battery out the red light comes on and my computer recognizes a qualcomm device for a short period of time. I have a micro SD class 10 16GB and have used windisk32 to write the debrick.img for my device, linked in the first post as well as the debrick.img's linked in the post above me. Sadly none of them seem to work. I write the .img, then put the sd card in my phone, no sim card. Then I insert the battery and push and hold the power button, but nothing, no splash screen, no vibrate, no light. Any advice? Am I missing something? Is it possible the battery is dead? I'm not sure if it still charges. Anyway any (more) help would be much appreciated. Again thanks for all the work you guys do!

sgh-t999 Bricked...

Hello, Newb here.. But, I have a question.

Girlfriends phone TMobile sgh-T999, she told me was pulled out of her purse, and it wouldnt turn on. Thought the battery depleted. So i tried to charge it. Nothing. I thought it was odd, so I connected to the Computer. When it gave me the qhsusb_dload connected device.

Googled that which lead me to YouTube, so i tried the whole Win32DiskImager, and tried like 5 different images to write to disk. ALL had failed.

So, my question, and Im sorry its a long read, but I figured if I explain evertyhing, or try to at least, youd be able to help me out easier. I hope...

What am I doing wrong? I've been persistent, Ive tried several images, 4.1, 4.3, and nothing. I get small type in the top right corner:

Boot recovery Mode

Check Boot Partitions. .

Copy from T Flash. .

boot recovery. .

write 159488 sectors. .

Custom Binary Download: NO

Thats all I get. I cant do any of the three button combo restarts.

I kno wyou guuys have gone trhough this a few dozen times, but I CANNOT find the answer as to what Im doing wrong. I DONT have a linux machince, I have a Windows 7. I have read that after you format it in the desktop, itll sometimes say 16MB. So I take it, and format it in my Note 2, and when it goes back in the desktop it will say 16GB. So i try to use Win32DiskImager to write an image again, and the same thing happens.

Ive been on this since 7 pm. Its going on 2:15 am now.... Im tired, and hoping you guys can help me out somehow...

Again, its the girlfriends fone, and NOBODY tried to root it at all... she pulled it out of her purse dead like this.... WTF?

Update: 3-26-15

Took it to get fixed. Got it back, they said the CPU on the motherboard is unresponsive. $130 solder job and its fixed they said... Figured its a SGS3, not worth it, rather put that money towards a new(er) phone. :good:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] droidguy80:

Hi,

My Phone SGH-T999 is bricked. It shows nothing, no vibration or anything, completely dead. It happened after I connect the phone to backup on computer after a long time and goes in restart mode and later completely dead. I followed the Guide on this forum and used Win32DiskManager to load tmobile-T999_4.3_debrick image and then inserted the 32 GB sd card in phone. I get the error same as one of the user on this forum who got no response so I started a new thread. The image is attached that show the error message.

Hardbricked SGH-T999V

Hi to every one.

First of all english is not my first language, so sorry for mistakes. ;)

Now the problem. I have Samsung Galaxy S3 Canadian Wind model SGH-T999V with Android version 4.4.2 upgrated by phone it self (I didn't use Odin or similar program). But for some reasons (SIM unlocking) people in service rooted it.

So now it is ROOTED S3 SGH-T999V with Android 4.4.2.

I was trying to upgrade it to Android 5.X.X. but I have read that this device has locked bootloader so I tried to unlock it some how. I found some software online called "EZ Unlocker" or something similar, and I install it on my phone and after starting I hit "Unlock" button. It popups message "Bootloader was succesfuly unlocked" and phone keep working fine. But when I tried to restart it ... nothing. Dead.

Windows will recognised it like "QHSUSB_DLOAD" device...

I tried MicroSD fix but I didn't have correct debrick.img file for my phone and phone didn't respond to any that I found online.

Can I debrick this phone with MicroSD card method or do I need to take it to service for JTAG programing?

Thank you in advance...
