TheLegendOfMart Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 You'll have to use ODIN, the Samsung flashing tool. http://reviews.cnet.co.uk/mobile-phones/how-to-recover-a-bricked-samsung-galaxy-s3-50009490/ You probably won't have clockworkmod installed but its basically the same operation.

TheLegendOfMart Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Of course it works, modern phones are pretty much impossible to brick just by flashing ROMs or rooting, as long as you can access "download mode" which none of these ROMs or Recovery Images touch then you can always return it back to stock firmware.

YanksOnTop Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 As long as you can get back into download mode, youre fine. Just bust out odin and download the factory rom from xda and youre golden. Heres a great video showing all the steps to root or unroot. Order_66 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luc2k Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 What is an ass baby? O.o 1. A medical term used to describe a child that was conceived by anal sex and/or birthed through the anal cavity. 2. A human so hideous that only an ass could have produced such a thing.
