Mine did this exact same thing. I later found out that you have to run Odin again and only use a pit file. Basically bring up Odin, put your phone into Odin mode, connect it, on the right hand side of the Odin screen instead of clicking PDA, click PIT. Then point to your file and click start. The file name is sch-I605-16gb.pit. Only thing is that I am unsure where I downloaded it from. There is a video on youtube on that describes exactly how to do this and I think the links to the files are on that video.

I got the same issue. my phone was rooted with TWRP 2.6.3.2 and flashed to customized MJ9 in this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2578458&page=14
Later I would like to restore to factory default, so downloaded this firmware http://terafile.co/2146204d7383 and flashed using odin. the flash was successful, however, after it finished, it started to have the exact problem as you described.

Did you take 4.4.2 OTA?
Well have you tried rebooting into stock recovery(UP BUTTON, HOME BUTTON, POWER) and doing a factory reset..then reboot?
You should always flash a image or tar in Odin WITH the pit file..bc if no pit the image could end up anywhere(rare)..
So this is what I would do..
pull battery
un plug phone
reboot into Download Mode
plug phone into different USB port
ODIN see it?
If so good!
Try to reflash WITH pit file

DO NOT FLASH IF YOUR ON MDK AND WISH TO RETAIN YOUR CUSTOM RECOVERY! THIS WILL REMOVE THE LOKI EXPLOIT!
This is a new update for SCH-1545 taking users to VRUEMK2. This is the stock factory image. Also, If you need to go back to stock for whatever reason and this Odin tar doesn't work I suggest using the VRUEMJ7 factory image instead. VRUAMDK, VRUAME7, and VRUEMJ7 stock Odin tars contained 14 partitions over which they would write over, VRUDMI1 wrote over 13 partitions, VRUEMJ7 also contained a pit file. However I've included both the full-wipe and no-wipe Odin tar.md5's for VRUEMK2 and in the no-wipe VRUEMK2, only 12 partitions are wrote over because it doesn’t contain persdata.img.ext4 or sbl1.mbn. The full-wipe (KIES factory image) VRUEMK2 Odin tar contains 14 partitions and its own PIT file as well and will completely wipe your device and re-partition it to factory stock
For the sake of simplicity, I've also included a mirror to the MJ7 "emergency" Full-wipe Odin tar as well. Download it here
Also incase you have MDK here's a link to the full-wipe Odin tar Download it here

What are the dangers of using the no-wipe file? I'm doing this for my gf's phone so I'm not used to the S4, sorry. The phone is currently on ME7, I had previously rooted it and de-bloated the stock rom. I've already unrooted in preparation for updating to MK2. If I can preserve her files in the process that would be great but I'm not sure if my having de-bloated some of the unnecessary system apps will cause any problems. Thanks.

No-wipe reinstalls the contents of the stock ROM, but does not delete your persistent data or applications. Anything that you deleted from the stock ROM is restored and anything you "froze" is defrosted. In most cases, that's enough to let the OTAs complete.
Dangers? If you unplug during rooting, lose power, or something else happens, the flash can fail. Those circumstances are usually recoverable because it's damn near impossible to overwrite the bootloader so there's always something there to help you recover from an oops.
Worked awesome, thank you

If the full wipe fails, but generally this download wont be needed unless your partitions are messed up. The full wipe above should be all thats needed for most if not then download this odin tar Its not the same Odin tar you downloaded earlier. Extract the zip and there will be 4 tar.md5 files and a PIT file. Put them in the appropriate areas in Odin 3.09 and if it goes through and tries to reboot, don't let it reboot the /system instead make it boot to recovery first and wipe cache/factory reset then let it boot up.
This will work better if done with Heimdall. Google how to use Heimdall because I use Heimdall on Linux and don't know how Heimdall works on Windows.

I could use some assistance. My friend's VZW S4 was rooted on MI7. I had done that for him. He wanted to update, so I downloaded the MK2 no-wipe odin file from this thread. I checked the MD5 on the zip (it was good), extracted the tar file, and attempted to flash. At first, Odin kept telling me the phone was being disconnected/reconnected. The cable was good, but it failed regardless. On further attempts to flash the tar, it would get to the end of the system img and fail. I was trying to go from MI7 to MK2, should it shouldn't be incompatible. The MD5 was good. I tried to re-odin MI7, but it's failing with " [auth] ". I'll try going all the way back to ME7 and OTA'ing up to MK2 THEN re-rooting, but in the mean time: how could I have avoided this?
So I have the full wipe ODIN downloaded and I'm using v3.09.. Do I still need to extract the .pit file if I downloaded it seperately or can I just load the .pit file and the .tar file and be fine to start the process?
EDIT: I answered that myself. Process went flawless and my phone went from unusable to working again.
Nice!
Worked great Surge! Thank you for all that you do for this device, it is appreciated!
Do I put my phone into recovery or download mode to odin the fullwipe?

Hi Surge1223
I had a problem with my S4 MK2 SS so I needed to do the No-Wipe Odin.
now everything went fine but when the OS started it keeps restarting and it stops at the Verizon animation screen.

Thank you.
Is there a guide anywhere for that? Can we just flash the odin if we have twrp and a custom rom installed?

I haven't done it myself because I don't have a custom recovery on this device yet but that's exactly how it worked on my S2 which I did custom recovery with. You can just flash in odin the full TAR of whatever stock you want and you'll be just fine, from your custom recovery it's probably a good idea to do a full wipe of everything. I googled "Galaxy S5 to stock" and I found a youtube video where they used Odin 3.09 for it. I'm used to Odin displaying green when the phone is plugged in but this time it was blue and turns out that's just how the newer Odin works. Cheers pal good luck!

Some versions say AP, some say PDA, some just gray out everything but PDA or AP. I've never been able to figure out why they're all different.
Hi there,
I may have softbricked my i9300 S3 after failing to flash MIUI. I had the phone rooted already with custom recovery installed.
CWM 6.0.1.2. A friend recommended the recovery after he successfully installed it on his S3. I was running Android 4.1.2
so no Knox problems hopefully. I downloaded the latest MIUI rom for my phone directly from the official website and used the CWM
to try and flash it. My phone was already rooted at that stage and I had wiped cache and reset the phone prior to the flash attempt.
Unfortunately it gave me a Status 7 error. Even after I unrooted and rerooted my phone the error still remained. I read somewhere else
that this happens sometimes and so I edited the Updater-Script as suggested elsewhere and deleted the section pertaining to the
Verification process. I double checked I had the right ROM too and proceeded to wipe and flash again. It seemed to take and the phone
restarted and I was met with the MIUI language selection menu. However, when i tried to select English, the whole thing just froze and switched
off and restarted itself. But this time the screen went all weird and fuzzy and wouldnt boot back to MIUI interface. I tried to boot into recovery but with no luck. I have tried to reflash the recovery also with no luck. I have tried other versions of CWM alos without luck. Tried TWRP and also no luck. I have used both the 3.07 and the 1.85 version of ODIN with no luck. The flash would fail with either a PIT error or a COM port error. But I have all the necessary drivers installed. I have Kies but dont run it at the same time. The Emergency Firmware something also doesnt seem to work.
I have pictures of the various errors and such and can provide dropbox links if required
Any suggestions would be helpful.
Thanks!
Original Firmware
If I were you, I would go to Download Mode and Flash the Original Firmware from Samsung. Download it from the Sammobile Website and after you successfully installed it try it again.
Like Tkkg1994 said above download the Samsung firmware and use Odin to install it through download mode.
You were having a "Status 7" error when initially flashing miui because your CWM recovery was not the latest...download the latest cwm recovery (6.48.something not sure??) Then flash miui and hopefully you shouldn't have any problems.

Yes that's correct. Because of this I would do all things to get a normal S3 without root. That in download mode it shows Original and 0 flashs. Than I would download Philz latest Touch Recovery, clean to install a new rom, download the ROM again, maybe there is a fault, than install it again and root it later, not than.
Hope I could help
Thanks guys! I think that was the general consensus then. I'm trying to follow this guide here
http://unbrick.itcse.com/unbrick-soft-bricked-samsung-galaxy-s3-i9300/
But when I download the Original 4.1.2 ROMS they dont have all the mentioned csc files nor do they have any PIT files in them either.
The only file included in the ZIP was a MD5 file which i guess is the PDA file.
Regardless, I'll give it a go. I've found some newer CWM recoveries but they seem to be IMG files instead of ZIP or MD5.
Any idea how to convert it. I'm getting the file directly from the CWM ROM MANAGER website.
Thanks for all the help again!

Extract the file inside the ZIP File. Than go to odin and on Odin3.09 select AP! Not PIT. This works!
Yes Sir Thanks but I was doing that before. When I unzip there is 2 files.
One is MD5 file and the other one is SS_DL.dll file
I loaded it in AP slot in ODIN 3.09 and ODIN 1.85
Still gives PIT Partition Error!
Is there any PIT file that I can use that wont brick my phone??

You don't brike your phone this way. I never select the SS_DL.dll file. You just need the MD5 file and do this in AP. I do some research on that but it should work

UPDATE
Turns out that my S3 had a faulty eMMC chip and had to have the chip and the motherboard replaced.
NOTE TO OWNERS OF 2012 MODEL I9300 GALAXY S3:
I did not know this before I had the problem but there is apparently an APP on the PLAY STORE called eMMC Brickbug App.
That will apparently check your eMMC status. Since I was not aware of this app beforehand I cannot say for sure if this app
does or does not work. However I previously owned and since gave away a 2013 late model Galaxy S3 which had no issues
whatsoever. From all the details that I have read, it seems that most 2012 models of the i9300 are more susceptible to this kind
of problem. If you own a 2012 model please take extra care when flashing any type of software, even if its original from Samsung!
Finally thanks to all the Posters who have attempted to help me out. I'm sure that all of your suggestions would have fixed the issue had my
phone not been hard bricked in the first place.
So, I recently accidentally deleted my /media/ folder and now when trying to boot to recovery it reboot, but will still go into Download mode. How can I fix this? I'm trying to unroot and update, I'm on ME7 - Verizon. Can I use ODIN to fix this?
Odin should do the trick, and you should odin to nc5, it has alot of great roms for safestrap. Just use odin 3.07 and above, and download the full wipe .tar of what version you want, and odin back to stock

Apparently you can't rename an md5 file , it will cause the md5 check-sum mismatch. I've rebuilt and re-uploaded:

ok thanks, will try later tonight after work and report back.
Can anytime confirm this will work without having to downgrade first?
Thanks for this man! I was having troubles seeing my wifi and I was able to reflash the modem and baseband without doing stock over again. You saved me allot of backup time
I completed the steps as described and the phone is now stuck on the "Samsung Galaxy Note 3" screen. The 1st flash went fine and it rebooted normally. After flashing the bootloader, it never became operational...any ideas?

Did you ever get your issue fixed?
Possible solution..
In the directions, you are instructed to install each file separately if I am reading it correctly. However, when I do that neither the modem or baseband would change. I was stuck on NH7. So I simply installed both at the same time. Power up into download mode, connect to Odin, and place the modem file in the PDA slot and the baseband file in the baseband slot. Start and then allow the phone to reboot into your rom, and you should be on OC5 now. By the way, a lot of the connection issues, and loss of data was corrected by upgrading to OC5. Hope this helps.

Thank you for the responses, I did eventually get it fixed. I was flashing using Odin 3.07, it was suggested to me to use 3.10, after looking it up and using the version recommended for LP OC5 finally took and my data returned. Thank you everyone for your help
Thank you for these files. I'm on a CM based ROM and Odin isn't connecting. Would I have to be on a TW ROM or is there something else that is not allowing my note 3 to connect? I'm on a Mac using Jodin
