You can wipe from stock recovery too. Op try download different rom and try again

every time i try to wipe i get the same error .... will try a 1 file ROM for 4.1.2 late but i guess that it will not work and problem is bigger than that

My SGS3 failed in much the same way, would not get past the first boot screen whatever I tried. I was able to get it into download mode with a jig, but could not flash anything to it. Samsung said they would take it back for repair but that would have meant being without it for over a week. Fortunately I'd bought it from Amazon and they were happy to send a replacement with next-day delivery.

Yes but with CWM advice would be to format ..
As we still dont know where Odin is failing its the end of the story .

tried all PIT files for i9300 alone , with 1 file firmware and with 4 files firmware ICS and JB ,, same problem , PIT file is written succefuly but can't flash the firmware

if it's a dead end and the phone have the eMMC problem , the device is still in warranty but the counter is 3 and system is modified
is there a way to kill the device at all without being able to access the recovery or download mode so i can send it to warranty as this issue is already from samsung and not related to user

that would be insurance fraud and that's a felony, can't discuss it here

i agree with you if it was my fault and the phone damaged by me , it's already out from Samsung with this problem so we have the right to send it back to them even if we played with some costume ROMs or Root
anyway i guess erase nand flash in Odin will do the job ,, will give it a try the phone is already dead and useless and my frined lost it anyway

yeah, you can send it back, but damaging the phone to get warranty is, as mentioned before, fraud.
