Disregarding the tar file they provide because its for verizon?

[HOW-TO] Unbrick your soft bricked Galaxy S III (+ bootloader brick) - xda-developers
Would this be of any use?
Appears the problem may be a soft brick?

You CANNOT use that. That is the verizon model

 

[shadowslayer460]

It was not

if we had the bootchains for ATT we could do it, but I have not seen them

 

[shadowslayer460]

How do you go about fixing the issue then? Or is it even possible? Im hoping the phone isnt completely gone because it at least made calls before this whole process haha

 

[shadowslayer460]

Im open to anything that will make it work, even if that means rooting it to something else. The problem i had with liquid was when doing certain things the screen would freeze and reset the whole phone and a few other annoying problems.

The phone is not dead at all so do not worry there. We just need to figure out the bootloop. If it were dead you would not get a darn thing.

I am looking for stock rooted for you to flash via odin...give me a sec..

No problem at all...that is what these forums are for. besides I am halfway through a movie and want to see how it ends...lol

OK I think the problem could be the kernel (don't worry about it) throwing us off.

I want to try this: root69_ATT_I747UCALG1.7z ::. | ROM by mrRobinson for Galaxy S 3 first. Download that, and flash it in ODIN like the other file.

 

[shadowslayer460]

Its claiming a 30 minute download time on that so ill download it and flash it and post the results (hopefully good)

 

[anon(94115)]

Anyway, back to the issue. The kernel send out the instructions to the other parts of the phone. What we have been doing is flash an ICS ROM on top of a JellyBean kernel. I am not sure that the file we have been flashing is overwriting the kernel (or even has it in there) and that is causing the loop.

What I just gave you should have the kernel and everything you need to have stock ICS. Once we get you into the phone itself, if you want to remove root we can do that...

I do not know if I can hang that long, but I am on most of the time via tapatalk when I am at work. i will stay for a bit and check in, but please let me know how it is going

 

[shadowslayer460]

I see what your saying about the kernal and everything so hopefully the newest addition will fix the issue. Assuming it doesnt however and sense my downloads arent exactly fast what would be the next step in fixing that?
Assuming it does work though i would be able to update to jelly through kies and everything like a normal phone though correct?

 

[anon(94115)]

OK my next step would be this: Goo.im Downloads - Downloading LH9-Modem-Kernel-CWM.tar

that file is just the Modem, Kernel and CWM. so that we would be CERTAIN that it is the right stuff.

From what I know, there is no stock JB yet for Att. I havent seen even a leak.

 

[anon(94115)]

As far as updates, if we get you back into the phone, it will mean that we are back to stock **for the most part**. We will have a custom recovery and be rooted. As far as I know, you need to be totally stock to do the updates.

What I would do if I was you and wanted to be totally stock is keep on the course we have going, get into the phone, then go back and start at the very beginning with the guide you have been following. That WILL overwrite the root and the put you back totally to stock so you can do the OTA.

 

[shadowslayer460]

Which file am i supposed to flash out of the download you gave me first? Theres a good bit of stuff in there

 

[shadowslayer460]

I have the first and second files you asked to be downloaded downloaded also

 

[anon(94115)]

is it a zip file?

 

[shadowslayer460]

They both were, the first one im trying to flash right now is still a tar file i just flashed it as the zip but it was extracted
