Flash an update via Odin ..... it's simple , fast with no warranty void and no risk whatsoever. Just read this thread and follow instructions word for word.

I'd recommend XXKJ1/3 (2.3.5) as the latest most stable release.

What update methods have you tried? Kies and OTA?

then do it again, it should work since you didn't use official way to unlock your BL, judging by your signature, right?
p.s. read what poyensa wrote you about topic title. it should reflect essence of your problem.

hello yasir,
as i can undrstand u r a first time experienced rooting an android phone, but no worries, i beleive u hav messed some whr while rooting ur precious S3 device, now if u wish to go to the original firmware the best way was to backup ur stock firmware before rooting or installing custom roms, but now as u hav messed up ur phone software after rooting, what u can do is go to sammobile.com and download an official stock firmware depending on ur region and install it through odin this install will unroot ur phone and bring back ur phone to stock settings n firmware. hope dis will resolve ur issue and eid mubarak.

Question one is your IMEI on the phone the same as under the battery .
If not restore your backed up EFS folder .
Very difficult to understand your post and what it means .

For locked booltoaders...there r only 3 free options..

But you've tried all three so..If its under warranty, then goto the service center
Or try Wotan Server(paid)

I don't know what , but it worked on my phone
That was link to fix FOTA aka Firmware over the air upgrade brick fix link and it was floating here in our forums since long!!
Normally people who've unlocked bl,while trying OTA brick the phone and that's when this comes handy @Lw I think that's where you got a bit confused
@Amin
anyways good your issue got solved

I pulled the cable from my former rooted S2 while it was flashing with Odin.
The result -> bricked phone
I had to return the phone to be fixed/replaced within warranty.
Told them that my wife pulled the cable while the phone was connected to the computer (probably updating )
The replaced the phone.
Until now, I've returned 3 phones for warranty.
All rooted.
No problem.
After you root it, if you need to return for warranty, you can flash a stock firmware and it's like new.
you mean to say that if i root my phone i lose my warranty and then if i have to go to service centre then i have to install stock ROM to phone and they never know that i rooted my phone ??

they will know! you just can't cheat by flashing a stock f/w. the download mode reveals the truth.

Root or custom rom voids warranty .
Following the procedure in the HowTo return your phone to stock for warranty guide will in most cases restore warranty .
But its more than just install stock rom .
