Hello All,
My brother is trying to flash custom rom in his galaxy s3 and he soft bricked it what I supposed it is as phone is stuck at the startup logo and not booting to it OS. I need to restore it to its stock OS via odin or any method which will work ? Also I have tried to go in to download mode via volume up+home+power combination but screen is blinking and Samsung logo is appearing again and again I don't its call bootloop or what else. Pls see the attached image and let me know if anyone know the fix for it.

Soft Bricked GT-I9300
So here I am with my Soft Bricked GT-I9300, need help..SOS..!!
Walkthrough:
Flashed Nameless 5.01, which gave me troubles and finally crashed..!!
Did some research on internet, downloaded Stock Recovery for S3 : I9300XXEMH2(4.1.2)
Flashed via ODIN, and volaaa...!! Up working on Stock ROM..
Updated Via software Update in Phone to JB Latest. (Kept it here Unrooted)
Worked fine for couple of weeks..and one day ..all of a sudden got stuck on Samsung Startup screen.
Tried to go to Recovery mode, but unable to wipe data/catche..
Tried Download mode to Flash again with the same Stock recovery File via ODIN..no success this time
Tried Flashing Via all ODIN versions..No Luck..(See Attached)
(It is showing Model number in Download mode and other phone info so I reckon motherboard not fried)
Any Suggestions ??
Try the rescue firmware and pit, search general forum -but your description sounds like nand failure.
Ok thanks ..will give it a shot..
I will keep this thread updated if I manage to fix it

perhaps a USB Jig may be of use to you in this situation to get you to download mode (Check my sig if you need a USB jig)
once you go to download mode, you can get to flash a stock firmware from odin
cheers!
By bricked doesn't that mean it's better off at a repair shop?
Since you can flash through odin. Tried flashing stock fitmwares? there's a site where you can download them.. Google.
Bricked ??? the OP may just be saying fully bricked without knowing .
Service job is paid for no warranty .
OP does not mention recovery mode .
jje
just try to go to samsung center and they will give their warranty. because they can get into download mode too so they can check your binary count dude

And how on earth do you expect anybody to be able to help you when you cant even be bothered to give any basic relevant information??
What SPECIFIC model do you have?
What SPECIFIC rom was you trying to flash?
What did ODIN log say, any errors etc?
If device is not powering on, booting into any modes then you may now need to get a motherboard replacement. Your only small life line is to possible try waking device up using a USB jig, however in most cases this will not work.
Have you removed battery, waited few mins and tried again?
Also, You're not the only person to ever do this, you should go read forum instead of creating new topics. Answers will be same.
my samsung galaxy s3 device was in 4.1.1 fm and rooted with clockmode:good:. everything was alright till after i had hanged up a call of my friend and my phone turned out black.. i removed the battery and then tried to reboot it and it still stocking in boot screen if Gt-i9300. then i tried to enter recovery mode and didn"t worked. but my phone can be in restore mode, I used Oden to manually flash my fm which is I9300XXEMB1_I9300AUTEMA1_I9300XXEMB1_HOME.tar and it say either there is no PIT file or nmda and it failed. i downloaded PIT file which i found from the net named GT-I9300_mx_20120220.pit which is for 16gb and tried with odin it says wait pit for maping and stuck on that.. i tried another method talking abt how to unbricke my device with VRALEC.bootchain.tar.md5 and VRBLK3_Bootchain.tar.md5 with odin and it says FAIL ,,, my device can only enter restore mode only,,, i tried method using of CWM6023TouchVZW.tar.md5 in odin and is the only way that make response to my phone and the screen has blue line appeared when i had load the CWM6023TouchVZW.tar.md5 with odin, and i waited for 1 hour and my phone still with the same thing. :crying::crying:

The thing is you flashed a version not meant for your GT I9300. You flashed the Verizon bootchain. Verizon GSIII is Samsung SCH-i535.
Different hardware than a i9300 (Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8260A Dual core CPU, and the i9300 has a Samsung Exynos 4412 Quadcore). Sorry bro. If you still have download mode, you can try flash a i9300 bootloader. If not. you're dead.
Hi
I just got an Samsung Galaxy S3 I9300 GSMH from a friend.
The phone is not stolen,barred or tampered with. It was bought from the samsung store in Hing Kong and is around 1 year old.
Its totally stock, no custom ROM and custom binary in download mode says No.
The phone is stuck on the Samsung logo screen and keeps flashing. I can get into both recovery and download mode.
I tried reboot system, wipe cache and factory reset and its still stuck at the logo screen flashing.
When I connect to Kies in download mode it says device not responding and doesnt play ball. Tried all the trouble shoot but still does nothing...
The phone is recognised by Odin 3.07.
I have not tried anything further as I want some good advice so as not to brick the phone by using the wrong firmware!!
Could anyone advise me what to do next? I am guessing I need to flash firmware in Odin.
Do I need to partition with the pit file as well?
Again I would highly appreciate some help and links to the correct firmware for the phone.
Thanks in advance
Mark
This is all p[posted in the faqs and guides ..
First in download mode check product code id nothing there you need a service centre .
Flash stock rom via Odin do not touch PIT .
Basics read first.

Solved now
Hi all
thanks for all,
I got the solution , i Flash bootloader with odin.
Now my phone is stared but not getting able to register in Mobile network , seems my IMIE number is lost ,
I have old nandroid backup i am going to restore to store my IMIE
Thanks All for your help
Hate to break it to you, but restoring a nandroid isn't that likely to bring your IMEI back. If you're very lucky, flashing a stock rom for your country/carrier (if you're already running one, flash others) might bring it back if it's a case of temporary IMEI loss. If not, many mobile repair shops (not Samsung service centres) should be able to write the IMEI back to the device relatively cheaply. And if not, a Samsung authorised repairer can do it (or they may replace the motherboard which has already been suggested to you), but that can obviously be somewhat expensive.
Or if lucky op might find a efs backup somewhere in internal memory
