[Q] Hard Brick help - Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help &

Hey guys
Big problem here. My cousin left me his old, out-of-warrenty SGS3 LTE.
He told me it didn't work anymore as it wouldn't turn on, but I thought I would be able to fix it up for myself.
I did some research, and the phone's probably hard bricked.
It appears I could buy a USBJig, have a JTag (both of which not available where I live) or enter download mode through
SD card. I don't know what he did, and I don't know how to fix it.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
P.S. If anyone has the debrick.img for this phone, could they let me know and send it to me

my phone doesn't turn on. the screen is completely dead. i will try odin though. but what do i do if my phone is completely dead? i heard of oneclickunbrick but im new to linux and i have no clue how to run it. what else can i try?
Well oneclickunbrick will run in Windows also, it would take your phone to download mode so you can go on with Odin
Otherwise if that doesn't work I think you'll need to go to repair service

[Q] I9305 stay on logo , problem with mount EFS. How to repair it?

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

Could you post a fix mate on how you sorted your problem? I have an S3 with the same issue - failed to mount efs. I have a back up of my efs folder on my PC.

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 will do a JTAG only if the single way. But then, i need the debrick.img
If you are able to write that image, it means that you can get into download mode.
If you can get the phone into download mode, you don't need a complete memory dump; you can just use a stock firmware to unbrick it.
Can you tell us what you did and what doesn't work?
If you have a bootloop and you can't get into recovery, please check this thread and a lot of other threads on the same topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=50434034

As deconectat tried to explain you don't need it. The only thing you need is to get in download mode and try with some of the unbrick guides on this forum.
If you can't get in download mode with combo, jig or jtag, there's no way to fix your phone.
In linked thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2525902 99ytrewq9111 requests only first 7 partitions, not whole /dev/block/mmcblk0, which is internal flash (~8GB of data)
It contains /data and /efs partitions. There are private data and IMEI on them
Youre all ****ing morons. The man was asking for a debrick.img to put on a SD card to get his phone into download mode. There are lots of posts on other forums of this working on other samsungs. Maybe you ****wits should learn to read instead of being smart asses. Piskor you referred him to a post on a different model (retard). deconectat you should just STFU because nowhere did he say he wanted to flash the image. (****tard). Clostry you backed up the ****tard.
It is of my firm opinion that the "experts" on here really do not know what they're doing.
pinguluk - I hope you succeeded.
Please, anyone have debrick.img for I8190?
Need this *.img
thx

S3 mini (8190) HARD BRICKED PLEASE HELP!!!!

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.
1. I'm trying to get an idea of the status of the device.
2. I'm just a guy that has the same phone without any android development knowledge who is trying his best to help.
3. There are some real geniuses on this site.

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.
PS: I have bought a J5 brand new and I hope i dont kill it. Trying very hard to keep it stock...

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.

[HELP] (SOLVED)Problom Regarding Updation of J7PRIME

Hi all. I never posted anything here. This is my new post. I don't know whether I can post here or not. Please allow me to post here the moderator.
I'm doing this because I don't have another way. :crying:
The problem is I tried to revert back to stock android, first time I got Odin flashing error. So I searched and found a solution. So In that way I done. But it shows "use emergency recovery mode in smartswitch" so I tried that also. But in smartswitch the firmware is not showing.:crying: It says check the S/N and Model No. I tried so many times.
At last I found a way that, when I face the error I flashed stock recovery and reset the phone and it turned on. I was very happy. But in other side it shows as On NXT. IDK what to do. And device status still Custom, although I've done it through Odin. :crying::crying::crying:
This is the main problom that I'm facing. If it familier to anyone of you, please help me. I'm in this problom since 3 weeks. If anyone can help me it will be really great for me.
Bcz of that I flashed a custom rom. Now I'm on it.
IF ANYONE CAN HELP ME PLEASE REPLY.
