How I Reclaimed my almost Bricked Galaxy S3

really it occurred yesterday! I shuddered to my veins for a while when I realized the seriousness of what had befallen upon me. My ego did not even let me expect such a mishap however was it was as true as I was alive. I have been an owner of Samsung Galaxy S3 for the last few months. Rooted it on the extremely very first day I got my hands on it as well as voided the guarantee of the device. My task as a tech blog writer makes me flash as well as test different custom ROMs almost every alternating day.

Well, I am a self-proclaimed professional in rooting as well as flashing business, particularly when it comes to Samsung Galaxy devices, compose great tutorials on the topic. as well as yes, I do not fail to remember to warn people to take some precautions like charging the gadget amply, backing up gadget data as well as present ROM, etc. before diving into such things. It’s stated one can have a dog-bite even on a camel’s back. I do not keep in mind in a what in shape of a hurry, I lost all my “skills” however I made errors just as a noob would do.

I had to test a ROM for my publish on finest ROMs for the Galaxy S3, so I downloaded it as well as copied to my device’s outside SD Card. I always prefer to store ROM as well as Gapps as well as Backup data on the 32 GB outside storage. then I booted the phone into ClockworkMod healing as usual. Wiped data/factory reset, cache partition complied with by wiping the dalvik cache. I was just going to set up the ROM when I kept in mind that about my S3 was showing only 4 GB empty storage capability out of 14 GB, though I had not kept any type of huge data on it. It was at this point that I was swayed by an desire to style the interior storage to ensure that it may be cleaned.

I, therefore, opened the ‘mount as well as storage”  and choose ‘format sd card” choice to get a super clean phone. I chosen ‘yes’ to proceed to the action. The sd card was formatted successfully, however this was the last success in the whole episode as I feel now, not then. then I returned back to the primary menu to set up the ROM only to find that there were no files/folders at all on the outside sd card where I had all my ROM files. Anyways, I went back to the primary menu to as well as tried once again to set up the ROM, believing there it may be some temporary error very first time. however there were no data on the outside SD Card. I repeated the exact same steps once again as well as once again however no use. Actually, I had foolishly formatted outside storage.

It’s said, “Misfortunes are available in multitudes” (Hamlet, Shakespeare). as well as this is truly what was going to occur with me. since I had not charged my phone for the whole day, there was extremely low battery power left at the time when I had started. all of a unexpected the gadget ran out of battery as well as turned off.

“Oh my God! What was going to occur next?”- I wondered as I stared on my Samsung Galaxy S3! I felt a few drops of sweat at my forehead even at a 15-degree temperature. had I bricked my new expensive phone with an already space warranty? Will, I be able to get it back to life?- These were the concern hovering over my consciousness.

I did not have any type of outside means to fee the gadget or an additional battery. I opened the back panel of the phone, pulled off the battery as well as reinserted it. tried to boot the phone into CWM healing mode once again as well as again. Each failure to boot the gadget into healing only added to my despair. It was 1 O’clock in the night so I went to bed as well as decided to try once again the next morning.

When I open my eyes the next morning, it was 9.30 AM. The memories of the night were still fresh so I hasted to my phone. I pulled off the battery as well as the outside memory card as well as inserted it into a memory card holder. I started my PC as well as copied the ROM data to the outside card. then reinserted it as well as the battery back to their place, as well as tried to boot the gadget again. rather mysteriously, it showed the indications of being booted. never in my life, I had been so happy to see the welcome screen of my phone. now I was able to see the blue texts on a pitch black screen that you see on entering healing mode.

The circumstance now seemed to be in my command. I hasted to ‘install zip from sd card” choice believing the battery would not provide me much time as well as the gadget may turn off again. Misery did not seem to leave me. When I proceeded to choose the ROM to flash it, the CWM healing did not show the ROM data that I copied. I rebooted the healing as well as then was able to see the files. say thanks to God! I flashed the ROM without any type of delay as well as rebooted the device. It did boot this time around however just as saw the screen which asks to indication into Google account, the phone turned off again. The battery had exhausted itself providing me the satisfanull
