Go to www.sammobile.com, download a stock firmware and flash through Odin.

i really don't recommend downloading a stock firmware now, coz of this hard brick thingy, u can just flash a kernel . tar like siyah kernel and then entering recovery mode ( vol up + home+ power ) and wipe cache and data/fatory reset and dalvik cache ) then download a rom.zip and put it on ur external sd then install it via install zip from sdcard in siyah kernel recovery u've already installed

It's only the new 4.0.4 firmwares that you have to watch out for. And I believe it only gets triggered if you do a factory reset / wipe data.

You have to do a data wipe in recovery to fix that.
Do a full wipe. Factory reset + wipe cache, dalvik and system

First step would be to do a full wipe I.e. data+cache+dalvik..if it does not work..then wipe system partition..be careful as this step will erase everything from your internal memory..
PS. Coming from leaked jb..install stock ics first via odin..reboot check if wifi works..if yes then go ahead and flash aosp based roms.. otherwise you might face wifi issues..

Go to ClockWorkMod:
1- Turn off Your device
2- Press and hold this combination: up volume - menu button - power button
3- When you're in Clockwork mod search and choose factory reset4
4- Then confirm factory reset and use Pc Odin and flash a new ROM in Download Mode
Hope this helped
PS: Factory reset will erase everything So backup ur files, but in your case it's not necessary knowing that it's stuck in bootloader
Download mode for PC ODIN flash:
-turn off you device
-Download Mode: Press and hold :down volume button - menu button - power button
-After that connect ur device via USB to your PC
-choose the Stock Rom from Odin "DISABLE or UNCHECK REPARTITION"and and flash your device it'll take like 3mins or less to flash on SGS3

This advice does not really help in my view .
Why factory reset then flash via Odin = wipe twice .
Odin does not have a stock rom . That may confuse the OP . >?> Its flash a stock rom via Odin .
jje
In my opinion the best option to restore stock firmware (and partition layout) is flashing three-file firmware by Odin with repartition option (and of course mx.pit). It will make all needed wipes after flash in recovery after selfreboot. All needed commands are set in executable script which is running after flashing. After that you may flash newest firmware by FOTA, Kies or Odin, as you wish.
All you need is download a correct for Your location version with separate PDA, CSC and MODEM and mx.pit.
Of course there is always a danger related to repartition so You need to do it with caution.
You DON'T need to flash the pit file unless you've somehow screwed up your partitions and have corrupted them. Flashing a pit file is one of the fastest ways to brick your phone if you don't know what you're doing and use the wrong one...
Just put the full stock update file in PDA and flash as it has the pit repartition in the file already. However, DON'T tick the repartition box...

Next time post questions in Q & A thread,, BTW dont panic. Download any ROM, then wipe data, cache and in advance, wipe dalvik, Install zip from SD card. Done ur phone ll boot up.. If this doesnt help then final is flash thru ODIN check the baseband of the phone then download from SAMFIRMWARE
After a full wipe (data/cache/dalvik), you should also format the /system partition and the internal SD card (save important files before). Then flash or install via recovery the ROM and everything should be ok.
Thank you everyone but when i press the power+volume dwn+home button it takes me to odin mode but not the normal screen from where i can wipe/format and do other stuff. How can i go to that recovery screen?

Volume up + home button + power button simultaneously. hold all of them until the samsung logo appears, then just leave the power button. Should boot into recovery.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
But have you done a wipe data/factory reset and cache from recovery?
If you flash a 4.0.4 samsung stock, beware of the 4.0.4 emmc brickbug. Google or xda search will get u tons of info about it.

so you are stuck in bootloop? go to download mode and flash a stock ROM/firmware (you can find it in sammobile.com), just flash it with odin and you are good to go..
maybe your download was incomplete, i suggest you redownload the ROM again

The kernel is the boot.img inside the zip. If you want to know how to flash it, check my guide on how to install a custom rom/kernel
And you could do the following:
1. Open the zip
2. Go to META-INF/com/google/android/
3. Open the updater-script using notepad ++
4. Delete the first 3 lines saying "assert getprop"
5. Save it and repack the zip
6. Flash it
Maybe it works then! :good:

go to this post and flash the stock firmware via odin.
for installing custom rom, you will need root and cwm
go to recovery mode
choose install zip from sd card
choose the cwm file
this will install the cwm.
now wipe data and cache
go to advanced menu and wipe dalvik cache
then go to choose zip from sdcaed and select the rom
please make sure that you are using a proper custom rom file meant for your phone.
hit thanks if it helped
