my dad is a tech guy and I was trying to root his S3 (SCH-R530) and It failed, there is no back up on kies and I don't know what to do cause he found out, and now he thinks I can fix it but I AM FUCKED he's gonna kill me, pls help if you can. I basicly need a way to Install the base firmware back onto it without kies.
Im at the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." screen right now
pop his eye out and fuck the socket after twirling around a few times praising ron paul and chanting "Ron to the Paul 2010" 64 times
why were you trying to root it in the first place?
I wanted to change the skin
You need a stock fw image and a program called ODIN. No other hint, if you can't get there with that info you should not have been screwing around with rooting it; particularly with a device that isn't yours.
Inb4 telling Jamal to give it back, who the fuck would steal an s3.
I have odin what is a fw image?
What part of no other hint was difficult to understand?
Haha fucking retard.

I tried to install with the wrong device version I didn't know what It would do at the time does this mean the phone is fucked?
Lmaoing at your life familia
KEK but I am dead on the inside
Just so you know, this thread already has all the information you need to recover the phone that isn't yours, all you need is the knowledge to do so (which I learned on the fly with my S4 and flashed like 8 different ROMs in the span of like 3 days and I wasn't tech savvy at all at that time).
[spoiler]nohints[/spoiler]
Is correct. On top of that, if you already had ODIN, your only real stop is that you're too stupid to figure out what to Google.
I just needed to be told about the fw image I think I got it now
You rooted someone else's phone to change the looks? Look on the bright side user, your eminent ass whooping will probably teach you something.
It's a bit more complicated but basicly YES i am a retard
What's the phone's model? Not just S3, the full model
> "I think"
Keep us updated.
I will tell you if I fix it if not I will post video of my dad breaking my spine

Hello , Samsung costomer . Please give me the exact specifcations of your smartphone .
hey, I know how to fix your phone OP
LOL sorry OP but if we helped you then you wouldn't have learned anything.
This learning shit hurts m8
I'm a giant faggot sage sage sage
That's not all that going to hurt if you don't fix m,y shit.
true
Dad, can you come into my room tonight and fuck my boipussy like you do with my sister?
*purrrs ;))))*
Tell your dad you are gay. It will totally take his mind off the phone and when(if) you ever get a gf you can just say you were curious and confused. Don't break the poor guys phone anymore than you already have.
You could have been given a step-by-step guide and you still would have fucked it up
I MIGHT BE ON TO SOMETHING
Not until my phone is fixed.
nvm... okay... I can't boot into recovery so its bricked right like, theres nothing I can do, Im fucked... :(
Man real shame you're too dumb to figure it out.
In a manner of speaking...
Soooo easy.... damn I wish you weren't retarded kiddo
nah I know its broke you're an idiot if you think it can be fixed at this point I tried to root with the wrong version and now I can't go into recovery mode.
yes you fucking dumbass
flashing shit not meant for your phone is a reliable way to brick it
don't fuck with other people's shit if you don't know what you're doing next time
maybe you can mow some lawns to earn back the money to replace daddy's phone
Original no hint guy here, just topping in to check on your progress. As it turns out, you are still hopelessly stupid.
Like literally it's like the second google result
Here.
This is incorrect.
This
>I'm not an idiot, I'll prove it! You fix it by ...
>Are you in 6th grade OP? Jesus Christ
just boot into recovery mode and reflash it with the stock firmware in odin
no no continue 9fag
tfw OP
You have to be older than 18 to post on this board
If I flash the firmware without wiping the data does it still work because thats the only way I see that this may work (those who say there is hope)
60 posts
no 'install gentoo'
disappointed
have to be mentally retarded to not be able to fixed a bricked samsung phone.
just download odin tarball for literally whatever phone, put it into download mode and push the image
It's funny because if he went to the stupid questions thread like you should it probably would be fixed by now.
download mode does work but is what youre saying true?
Yes, just find the stock odin firmware for your carriers' s3 and flash it.
It says to download the lastest odin but I read elsewhere to use 3.09 which should I use?
Install cyanogenmod
>ruining fun and enabling idiots.
THE ONE FUCKING FIRMWARE I NEED IS NOT ON SAMSUNG UPDATES NOW WHAT?
>o no I still can't Google
Im sorry if dumb things like that happen but I REALLY cant fuck this up m8 is true android reliable?
Nvm its not on that site either anyway
(as risky as asking this is) does anyone have a link to the firmware I've been on so many sites and it's either not there or not the right version
Nohints here, I give up trying to make you learn on you won. The file you want is on XDA, and can be found with a three word search. One of the words is in the OP, the other two are in the thread.
Also; son, I am incredibly disappoint.
