Probably half SDS.
More info please.
1) Were you rooted?
2) What does download mode say now?
3) What are Odin errors?

if you don't see product name in download mode, you surely bricked the phone. SDS! service center.

sds-sudden death syndrome. your system status is custom so your warranty will not work. you have to pay for it.

even flashing through odin changes system status.

Custom is a result of Half SDS which you have. This is why I asked what download mode said, so I could confirm my diagnosis.
You have to send it to service centre. They may or may not fix it under warranty, even though it is completely their fault.

[Q] soft brick i9300

Hi all,
I searched xda before starting this tread but i didnt find anything relevant.
I was using cm10.1 on my galaxy s3 along with cwm. Everything ranned normal and smooth.
I used it for more then 2 month's and then suddenly my phone went off.
Now when i reboot it i only get a weird grey/green screen. Not even the samsung galaxy logo or the cyanogenmod boot logo.
Just this grey screen.
I tried starting up recovery by pressing volume up, home button and powerbutton but the same grey screen appear.
What can i do?

Try is all you can do say it suddenly died you suspect SDS .
Depends upon the service centre but technically your warranty is with the vendor and Samsung's is a separate limited warranty .

[Q] Trying to fix by Galaxy SIII Please help

I am trying to fix my i9300 UK.
I Had it running just fine with Ultima ROM and TWRP with Googy kernel.
Then one day it suddenly would not boot. Just got stuck on the samsung boot logo. I could not even boot to recovery.
So I asked and got a very short answer that I should flash the stock rom. So I downloaded the stock rom for my phone from sammobile and tried to flash it with ODIN.
However, I just get a FAILED sign when I try. What can I do?

This the the file I am trying:
I9300XXEMD2
Should be ok. I am on three.
I have looked in the task manager and can't see any reference to Kies on there. I guess I could uninstall just in case.
What is very worrying now is that I just tried to flash again using ODIN 3.04 and it said I needed a .pit file to repartition. Re-partition is not checked so I don't know why it is asking for this.

I think I will take it in to get it fixed. I had the screen die on me not so long ago and had to take it in for a replacement screen then, so this is a little frustrating.

Just download one new firmware of your model only
And while spliting it do make wipe packages dont make non-wipe package and just flash them and see the result , i hope these will work because it erase all data /partitions of the Phone.

Try the rescue firmware thread in general forum, using a pit file. Also, downgrading the bootloader might help flash to work.

Thanks for your reply .
Just before I start flashing, I want to confirm things as I am a newbie.
I have downloaded FIRMWARE FACTORY 4.1.2
GT-I9300XXEMG4_KOR_MULTI_FACTORY
from this link.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30087735&postcount=6
Do I have to check Re-partition box too beside auto reboot and F. Reset time?
About downgrading, I don't really know which bootloader I have.
Depend on what version firmware you were on before 4.1 or 4.3. Follow the instructions in that thread.
Downgrade bootloader to BLFB, search for it.

I screwed it more trying to install this Bootloader_XXELLA_Odin.tar
now it show this message
"firmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in kies and try again"
i45.tinypic.com/27y2tmd.jpg
please any advices, I am still able to go download mode
1. Downgrade bootloader
2. Flash stock firmware
If the bootloader flashed correctly, then try step 2.
The bootloader you used is not ideal, I don't know if that still has the problem but it might work.

whats about hard brick sd card recovery bootloader?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2581166
i have same working s3 on android 5.1.1 -> one idea is to safe working bootloader to sd card and flash the bricked phone.
I found out that "cm-12.1-20151016-UNOFFICIAL-temasek-i9300-V18.0-ds94-FIXED.zip"
using 4.1.2 bootloader (i9300xxemc2) which can cause bootloop on i9300.
Another i9300 with stock firmware using i9300xxugna8 with bootloader 4.3 should avoid bootloop, however forbid downgrade to earlier versions.
Based on this information, anyway to debrick phone without replacing emmc?
