It is like people are waiting till someone gets it right then they will atempt to root it.
lmao, is that what the op has done???
..sorry for laughing, i know well the state of panic youre in but i think youll get it fixed. have you posted on the site you got the rom from? (im guessing XDA?)
global s3, UK. Ask me anything and ill reply even if its just an intelligent (or stupid) guess
youve lost my sympathy lol
dont give up on the s3 though.... it is a pretty hot "toy"

... And this is why I'm scared to death of rooting/flashing custom roms, being so new to android.
My understanding is that ANY phone can be killed if you put the wrong operating system on it. This is not anything special for the S3. Personally I think you have your definitions reversed though. To me, the iPhone 4 would be the toy.LOL, I just got it and I really like it, I will fix it if its fixable. I like to play with electronics, i just didnt think the S3 could be killed so easily. I found a company name MOBILEVIDEOTECH they say they can fix it for 60$ I am gonna send it to them.
I agree with you on that, the iphone 4 will be my toy when i fix my GS3. I have been an iphone user since 2007 im just making the switch to android now so I was just playing with the S3 to see if i like it.My understanding is that ANY phone can be killed if you put the wrong operating system on it.

Yeh same i only ever hear the bad stories on here lol
Hey... Sorry to read about this. Don't know how I missed it for 2 days. Good luck.
I really don't mean to sound like a broken record but it isn't only international versus US versions that you can't flash. You also can't flash a US Sprint rom on a US AT&T gs3. As posted earlier in this thread, Roms are also carrier specific.
I have done something here on Android Central Sprint Galaxy S3 forums that seems pretty unique and I find it fairly hard to believe that it isn't done on all the forums. We have a database of all the current ROM's that is specific to the sprint galaxy s3. Again, before you flash a rom, look to see if it is on the list. If it is, then that means it's good to flash. If it's not and you think it should be, post it in the thread. I will check it out. If it's ok, I will add it to the list.
While we all want to have fun with our phones, I take it upon myself to try and make it as mistake free as possible. If you are not sure of what your doing and want a guide, just ask. I will try and get one out.
Again, I'm sorry to read about your phone. I hope it turns out well for you.
