Hello. I currently need to fix a issue ASAP as I am selling my s3 soon. I tried to unroot my s3 and reset it to factory settings but flashed the Verizon firmware on my phone and not the international version firmware. The flash failed in Odin and now I am stuck at a screen saying the Firmware upgrade encountered an error. Please try again. I tried to go into download and recovery mode multiple times and cannot do so. I assume is bricked or soft bricked? Can I use a usb jig to get into download mode? Any advice would be great. Thanks.
Remove the battery for 10 mins and then try again to put it in download mode, this worked for my sister.
She then flashed a stock rom in Odin and it worked okay.

I assume you have a GT-I9300? If yes you can use a jig to get in downloadmode, I`am not familiar with other S3 models (LTE). Pull the battery first and wait for 30 seconds, reinsert it and insert the jig. That should do it.

Hi, i had one phone i9000 that was not going into recovery or download mode. SO, i tried flashing Aries_P-SBL.tar.md5 as PDA to enable recovery mode. I then got failed message and now phone is stuck on "PC ! Phone" logo. It wont go into recovery or download mode. Help
Take the battery out, wait a little and see if it will boot up,if not, do the same again but try to turn it on while connected to pc....

This worked for me as well. I never thought to try the download anyway with that screen showing.
Thanks for the tip.
I got my Note not to long ago but recently i started having a problem. My phone says its charging when its not and even when i turn it off it still says its charging so i am unable to put it into deep sleep. i already tried a hard reset and that didnt work, any suggestions?!
can you get into download mode?
And do you have a JIG?
Try flashing stock rom via Odin and factory reset and start all over again
reply
no i do not have a JIG and I can get it into download mode. Phones all stock though.

Can you tell me exactly how this happened? Like how you were installing JB? And is your phone i9070 or i9070P - because they have different firmwares, if you flash the wrong one then it will most probably hard brick your phone....

Odin said PASS before you disconnected? Phone rebooted to recovery before disconnecting? Or when did you unplug it? What FW did you use? You have its name on file, copy/paste it here.
More informations.

no, its said rebooting and i guess thats what cause the brick, it took half hour so unplug it. i used I9070DXAMD1_I9070OLBAME1_HOME.TAR file. so i guess i need a jtag repair?

If you pull out cable when it said rebooting, then I think that didn't cause the problem. Now no download mode at all? Tried to pull out battery and put back, than to go to download mode?

Galaxy S3 Mini doesn't have sds so dont worry, did odin give any errors during installation?
Try flashing Stock Recovery and the 3 key mod to enter recovery then try an factory reset

No errors but is it normal that it lasts so long? 4 hours? Then a guest battery drains and the the process is interrupted, it says "Removed". Gonna try again.
Haven't been able to enter recovery...

You put questions on 100 places, I asked you something one one of them and told that I9070 firmware will brick I9070P phone, or I9070P firmware will brick I9070 phone.
