[Q] Unable to load stock firmware (US Cellular) - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My phone has gone into emergency recover and I've tried to recover it by flashing it with both "Odin" and the samsung "SimpleUpgradeTool" but it has failed everytime I've tried it.
I have the SCH-530 from US Cellular and am unsure on what to try next.
Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
The following is the ouput message from Odin ---

[Q] Wifi Not Turning On

I recently installed Omega ROM and to my luck the wifi stopped working. I tried the steps they recommended and did exactly what they told me except I used the regular Odin program instead of the mobile. I tried flashing the modems on both the pda and phone section in odin and this is what happened:

Can anyone help with this? Im so tired of not having wifi..
Flash back to stock and start over doing the directions to the T.
Short answer - just reflash kernel, if it does not help - reflash your ROM and then kernel again. And if this does not help - you can always back to stock with full wipe (backup your data before).

[Q] Soft Bricked SCH-I545

I guess there is a first time for everything.
I can not boot into recovery and I get the message 'Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.
I do not have Kies installed and nothing samsung is running.
I have tried multiple cables, usb ports, and downloads of SCH-I545_MDK_562219_Stock_Restore.tar.md5
*Edit* I just had a thought, is this happening because I am trying to go back to the stock rom I.E. before any Verizon firmware updates?
The phone says in red Start [224, 1440]
SW REV. CHECK FAIL : fused : 3, binary : 1

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you
Guess my phone was ME7 not MDK, hence why it wouldn't flash. I've got it flashed with an ME7 rom now and I think all is well. Thanks again.

Help With Samsung Exhibit 4g

I have a Samsung Exhibit 4g that I am trying to restore back to its original state but the phone comes up with. I am pretty sure it was bricked.
E:failed to mount /cache (invalid argument)
ECan't mount /cache/recovery/recovery_kernel_log
and so on..
When I tried to flash a ROM via SD card it says installation aborted
could anyone give me the files so that I can flash them in Odin?
and also if I can get CWM from here maybe via a new kernel, because right now it is the stock kernel.
I also tried a stock kernel and it gave me this
I tried flashing the new Kernel and here is where it stops

[Q] Odin: Stuck at NAND Write Start

Hey everyone
Having read many threads on this issue I would appreciate help for my specific case. I got a defective device from a friend that wouldn't start anymore (introductory Samsung animation was playing repeatedly). I then tried to flash "GT-I9100_JB_ClockworkMod-Recovery_6.0.2.9" to eventually install CM 10.1.3 and then factory reset to make sure the brick bug is not an issue. However, I was not able to flash CWM, because it gets stuck at "NAND Write Start" and eventually fails (see below). Interestingly, I flashed another i9100 flawlessly only a few days ago with the exact same setting. Nonetheless I tried different Odin versions as well as different usb ports and cables.
I have no idea what kind of kernel or android version was running on the device and I can now only get into download mode.
When reading this guide I came across two problems. First, flashing a kernel - some other thread recommended "Siyah-s2-v5.0.1" - was unsuccessful. Second, I wasn't sure if I should try to flash the ICS version mentioned in this thread.
Some mentioned falling back to flashing PIT-files, but because recovery mode is not available, I cannot use the "emmc partition scanner" to identify the correct PIT-file to flash.
I would really like to save this device, so someone else may enjoy using it again in the future. Thanks in advance for any help!
Cheers

Please help, completely wiped my phone and cant reflash any ROM

Selling my G925F (Galaxy S6 Edge) and it was rooted with CarHD Rom that I used, I wanted to remove this and return it back to stock so I tried doing a few ways to unroot it with much fail, I ended up using the TWRP recovery and wiping absolutely everything...
Now I am in ODIN trying to flash a ROM I found for my phone, its not working. Its either sticking on ConnectionSetup and then telling me WriteError or something..
I am 100% in download mode, I have downloaded the latest SAmsung mobile drivers. Just cant get it to work, whether or not the ROM I am trying to flash is bad I dont know, so I am back on this forum trying other ROMS, even trying other custom ROMS just to get the phone up and running again but it seems the way you flash these ROMS is not via ODIN and that you actually need the phone to be working to do so?
Can anyone help me sort this out please, if this is what classing "bricked" as, please help me unbrick
