Hey guys.. I'm also new here. WUZZZUUUPPP.. Anyhow, I Hard Bricked my GS3 because I had an OTA update from CM (Nightly.) In any case, after flashing the update I saw an ad for a sweet game on the market for $0.99 lol. So I tried to go to the Play Store and grab it before it was gone. Google Play would launch and abort in a millisecond. In other words Force Close. So I tried to flash backwards to the previous update that I had running and I got the boot loop FUN FUN. So, I said TA HELL with CM and was searching for a new vibe, stumbled across FoxHound and downloaded it. It did not say it wasn't for the L710 so I scooped it up, Flashed it on, went through the installation process and hit finish, after that it turned off. Waited about a minute and tried to manually power on, Hard Boot (remove battery,) nothing. Cannot get into recovery or download. After reading this entire post it looks like the only way to fix the problem is to either pay for somebody to JTAG it, or Brave my way over to Sprint and try for a replacement. I don't want to pay for a JTAG and I'm weary of taking it to Sprint.
Has there been an alternate fix released or to I have to do one of the aforementioned solutions?
P.S. Sorry for the long post. Just wanted to share my 'idiot story' or 'DOH!' moment.
Thanks.
