HELP - Galaxy S3 is bricked !! tried almost everything - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello xda community,
mainly my problem is in my Samsung Galaxy S3 (international) device, it's bricked !!!
Device: Samsung Galaxy S3 [international] 16GB
ROM: N.E.A.R 1.2 [ http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2126059 ]
Kernel: N.E.A.K. Kernel 2.5
Yesterday i downloaded the Note 2 keyboard for Samsung s3, but after i flashed it i realized it was for the leaked rom, so apparently
it didn't work, and all was normal, after about 30 minuites, i was browsing on my device, the device suddenly restarted so it first shows
the first screen: Samsung Galaxy S3 Logo .... but nothing else ... Stucked on that screeN ... i'm pretty sure it's not from the keyboard ...
-restarted my device [returned to SGS3 Logo]
-removed battery [returned to SGS3 Logo]
-tried to enter recovery mode (CWM) [returned to SGS3 Logo]
-removed external SDCARD
-removed SIM nothing happened still stuck on that logo.
i can only enter the download mode so I :
-tried to flash a stock rom [4.1.2 and 4.1.1] using Odin [ with 3.07, 3.04, 1.85 versions], but odin keeps on saying FAILED with red color.
- downloaded the RESCUe FIRMWARE, followed the steps assigned here : [http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...35&postcount=6 ],
but odin says : failed to partition, invalid PIT.
- downloaded the CheckROM EvoHD [http://checkrom.com/threads/resurrec...%84%A2-v4.896/], ODIN > FAILeD
- found this thread [http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1916796 ] and started with the steps assigned in the .pdf file but when I tried to flash the bootlaoder >>>> FAAAIL
NOW I THINK THE PROBLEM RESIDES IN THE FILE SYSTEM, i tried to re-artition with the below PITs,
- PIT section: I tried to re-partirion the device with three different files:
1) with the PIT: [http://invisiblek.chickenkiller.com/...-i535-16gb.pit ] i found it form here [http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2075861 ]
2) with the PIT : [GT-I9300_mx_20120329.pit] , I downloaded it from xda (can't find the link).
3) and the PIT file that comes with the Rescue Firmware.
ALWAYS stuck on: "Get PIT for mapping" > after googling and xda-ing I 1) tried another cable, 2) changed the compatibilty to windows XP in the ODIN settings, 3) tried on an XP desktop >>> but still the same message "Get PIT for mapping ... "
That's all, i really appreciate it if anyone could find me a sloution for this issue.

Hmm seems to me more like a hardware failure of some sort.
So you flashed a bootloader and it failed? But you still can power up your device and go into download mode?
that`s also weird because normally if you screw up the bootloader your device shouldn`t be powering on at all (happened to me once with my old phone).
Did you have any other weird behavings of your phone? Like unusual freezing before the device rebooted?

Scarface1991 > my S3 just stuck on that logo screen, and there is noway to flash anything, as i mentioned upward: when i flash anything Odin keeps on telling me " FAIL " ... I don't think that the bootloader is screwed, because the device is powering up, and whenever I tried to flash anything it keeps on saying FAIL but only when i try to re-partition the device using a PIT file it do some processing and then on Odin will stuck on " Get PIT for mapping "

First, this is the wrong place if you have the i9300. This is for i9305.
It's not cool when this happens. Excactly this happened to my mothers S3 also while it was in her pocket and not being used.
Only thing I could get it into was download mode. Otherwise stuck on Samsung screen. I did'nt try to flash something on it because she was afraid of her warranty.
When she brought it to the store they told her the motherboard needed to be replaced. Was not repairable at all they said. She was not rooted and got it for free.
If you live in EU there is a new law that states that rooting does not void guaranty. They have to proove that it was the root process that caused the brick.
I really hope you'll be able to solve this out!

> hhh my bad,
first thank you for your concondolences , and am afraid this is the only solution, but lets say the motherboard is corrupted or whatever > the whole device even shouldn't power up ... i don't know, i hope there is a solution for this ...

Reads to me like wrong firmware or kernel flashed and destroyed PIT partition .
A JTag repair may be cheaper than a Samsung repair .

FACT that is not a new law and applies only to the vendor of the phone does not apply to any third party warranties like Samsung's limited warranty .
FACT if you are in the EU and your phone vendor says no warranty its rooted . You will have a job to get them to accept EU law and may need to take them to court .
Personally i would just act dumb and say you think it has the sudden death syndrome problem that's p[posted all over the web .
