Hi my mom has a Samsung Ativ S T899M and when it was doing the update she took out the battery and now when I turn it on it goes to the gears and then gets stuck on the sad face. I was reading online that you have to flash the rom into it. But i cant seem to find the T899M one. Only the I8750 and when I try putting that one in it fails. Can someone please help me. I would really appreciate it. Thank you.

Hello,
Have you tried a master reset? That probably won't work but its worth a try.

Yes i tried a master reset and nothing. I cant send it for repair at samsung as it is out of warranty already. Is there any way i can get the proper roms or programs to flash the phone myself?

tried to flash a different galaxy s firmware to my captivate thru download mode and it went to reboot but did not come back on the other day and now i cant get the phone to turn on at all. is there a fix or is it a $500 brick???
Different Galaxy S firmware meaning not a Captivate cooked rom?

But wrong bootloaders = brick, soft or otherwise. Try a jig to get into download mode.
Samfirmware has nothing which will work on your phone.
I'm looking to do some experimental non-invasive recovery on bricks and I need something to test. If you'd like, you can send it to me for some analys and it could help the entire community... or you can send to connexxion2005 for jtag recovery.

After watching your video, it looks like a hard brick. A jig will not help. You need to consider JTAG, invasive or non invasive.
Good luck.

Hey Guys!!!
I have bricked my Samsung Galaxy ace plus (GT7500). I was flashing this custom Atomic ROM.
First I did it successfully. The interface came where it demanded for my google account then i put in the information of my google account. The screen went blank.
Then i restarted it.but it got stuck into samsung boot logo. I even can't go through my download mode or clockwordmod.
so, was not able to use ODIN.
First ODIN Failed in flashing my ROM. then i got pissed off and switched off my mobile.
After sometime when i tried to start it. it went dead. it is even not starting. It is not even getting charged.
I know it is now bricked. Please tell me how to unbrick it.
Please help me.....

Sorry, any of us can help you in this. I guess you can still take your mobile to warranty, since it didn't passed a year yet.
Press the Thamks button if helped.
I did this several times. but didn't got any success.
How about using jig?? if i didnt get success will jig do any harm to my mobile.
or may be i should go to the samsung center and get it done by them.
Anyways thanks for the prompt reply.

if you don't know exactyl how to do use jig, I wouldn't do it, since you may loose your warranty again. I sent my bricked Galaxy Ace that didn't boot to Samsung, and they didn't notice I installed a custom rom in it, so maybe you should try.
I've found a thread like yours, maybe the solutions there will help you

Well i gave it to the samsung service center. They haven't repaired yet. but they told me that we are completely changing the motherboard which was totally damaged.
Can they find out now that i have rooted my ace plus, after changing the motherboard?? Hope they wont find it......
I am a bit worried about this.

Naa... They don't!!! Once the phone went off(bricked) no one would be able to find what happened before. But even if they enquire about it, behave as if U R a NOOB to all this. This's all what U need 2 do!!
Be cool & have patience!!
EDIT: Also, motherboard is not damaged in most(~all) cases. It can easily be cured by Riff Jtag box.

Hello everyone
I've got problem with my I9305 lte. I bought it from my friend. It was working fine till my friend try to root phone with software dedicated to i9300. Galaxy right now stay on logo , goes in recovery mode and download mode. In a photo you can see cause of this thread.
I tried to flash oryginal software by Odin. Everything looks fine. Odin doesn't see any error. Galaxy still stay on logo with red error in recovery mode. I don't have backup with EFS folder... If it help i9305 is from vadofone Germany.
Could anyone help me ?
RIP, motherboard replacement is needed now
Does anyone have more positive idea ? Phone is like new , near 2 mounths of use...
Motherboard replacement....
Is that more positive??
And next time, read everything you can before you stuff around with something! Damn, the first thing I did was backup my efs folder :banghead:
I found this. I'll try it tommorow when I'll come back home. : alliance-rom.com/community/wiki/imei/
I was looking for motherboard for i9305 on ebay etc. but there is nothing...
So you have no backup of the efs folder, a phone that won't boot properly, and you obviously didn't read your link properly either.
Good luck, enjoy buying a new phone

I should begin with explaining my problem first.
The phone would not boot,charge or show any signs of life.
I had another S3, so i swapped the battery over and to my surprise it came on.
Luckily i could boot into download mode.
Moving onto how i sorted it.
First i went here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33048706&postcount=1
and downloaded, extracted and flashed the Param_Bin_I9305.zip .
I then went here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2023527
and flashed all 3 sections (phone/pda/csc)
and hey presto all was sorted.
Hope this helps and if i can be of any more help or i have omitted something please ask

Thanks for the quick reply mate. Will this work on my International GTi9300 do you know? Sorry I should have said that earlier. I've had all previous versions of the Galaxy models and never got a problem like this.
One guy above says a new motherboard is the only option, I left mine in for repair and because the custom binary was at 2 the warranty was Void. So they quoted me €150 just today. I can't afford that at the moment. But after so many searches here on XDA, it seems some people with the same issue as myself have managed to fix it. Thats why i am a bit sceptical, because I have my EFS folder backed up. Maybe it might work.
I should have my phone back on Monday so if you think this will work on mine I will give it a go and let you know?
Really appreciate the help.
Sorry to hear about your problem.
I did this on a I9305 which is very different to the standard I9300.
These files and methods i used are **ONLY FOR THE I9305***
The only reason i had the problem in the first place is that i flashed I9300 software onto a I9305.
Sorry i cant be of any more help but i am sure if you head over to the i9300 q+a section, someone is bound to know what you should do.
PM me with your exact issue and what you messed up on and i will try and see if i can find some helpful info
ok!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I tried to flash Lollipop 5.1.1 (Carbon) 20150701 on my S3 via odin and the cable failed and hard bricked my S3 mini. No download mode,No recovery,No Bootlogo,No Vibration…just dead. Is there a debrick img available so i might be able to save my phone? I cannot afford JTag right now. Please assist. I think it has to be the bootloader.
NOBODY?

Why not the S3 8190? This one in the link above has a corrupted bootloader too.
I wish someone would help a brother out and upload an img instead of making remarks. Anything worth trying is better than getting a Riff Jtag. It seems as if this forum is all about reposting stuff from other sites or members are smartasses.

I apologise, I had been scouting every forum possible with no solution in sight and no hope of finding one. I was frustrated. The device has been taken to a repair center and the technician looked very confused but said he would try. As a south african you will understand my lack of confidence in the device being repaired as he was hired due to AA.
Apologies once again.

I see that there is still nobody on this forum that actually knows what they are doing. ****ing morons.
Flashing phone via JTAG port could be a solution. You need a JTAG debugger ( Riff Box, Medusa, Z3X etc.) which supports your phone. The trouble is, this devices is not cheap so its better to send it to a phone service.
