Sudden Death Syndrome.

when you go into download mode look for product name . if there is no product name than most likely only a motherboard replacement can fix it . probably a nand problem. if the flash counter is 0 and there is no custom binary , current and system status official. you can probably get a warranty repair through samsung.
If the product name is there than you may be able to restore your phone by flashing an emergency rescue firmware from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30087735&postcount=6.

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

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.

[Q] My phone is broken need help!

Hi
Just to start of ill just say im norwegian so my english is not the best, but I hope you guys understands it!
Ok, I wake up this morning to check my phone, when i took it up it was just a picture of the loading screen with "Samsung Galaxy SIII GT I9100" or something like that in white text...
I tried to turn it off and then turn it back on again but the same message appeared. Then I started to search on google etc and found out that this is called sudden death? I went into download mode but nothing is happening, it only says this:
ODIN NAME
PRODUCT NAME:
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: NO
CURRENT BINARY: SAMSUNG OFFICIAL
SYSTEM STATUS: CUSTOM
"
Then there is picture of an android with the text: "Downloading... Do not turn of target !!"
I searched some more and found out that when system status is custom it's roted? I dont even know what this is but it said i got no warranty? Im pretty sure the guy I bought it from gave all the papers to me? Im so confused...
And I tried to enter recovery mode but it wont let me :/
Step 4 step would be good as im a totall noob!
Thank you for your time
Looks like you need a new motherboard .
Read the sudden death syndrome post in faqs and guides.
Or just take to a service centre for repair if you are a noob .

A motherboard replacement is the only fix in this instance, so the answer to your question is yes.

If you can get into recovery mode try a factory reset and wipe cache if you can only get into download mode flash a stock rom with odin from Sammobile.
