Root [Virgin Mobile] Bricked S3

[lauralana9]

I have a S3 that I rooted ages ago and have been running 4.3 with Mk5. Tonight I wanted to update to 4.4.2. I was going to use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=53219958#post53219958. I first Downloaded the NDC modem and flashed the zip with Philz. After reboot I noticed that I had no signal. I tried to reboot again but it never restarted. I tried pulling the battery for a while but it will still not boot.

I do not have a bootloop there is just nothing. I plugged it into my computer and windows installed a quallcomm driver so it detected something. Is there any hope of fixing this?

So you didn't flash the TAR with Odin first? The first 2 lines in red lettering in the post you linked state you have to flash the TAR first or the phone will brick. Which it sounds like is exactly what happened. You can try the Debrick image. I'm assuming that since the last firmware you were on his MK5 you need to use one from 4.3 (I've never done this.)

Here is a link to that info.

It's for Sprint MK3 (I can't find one for VM) but it should work. If it does, then flash the TAR with Odin to get NDC found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=53194487#post53194487

Thank you I will try this in the morning. I flashed the link that said NDC Modem in Philz. I saw the red lettering but didn't fully understand. This is what I get.
