[Q] i9300 soft brick - please help - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Help please! S3-i9300 soft brick
Hi all,
I have a Galaxy S III i9300 that has suddenly bricked for no obvious reason (it is not rooted), it just hangs on the Galaxy S III logo.
I can access recovery mode, but it show the image of the “hospitalised android man” and the following errors:
E: failed to mount /efs (No such file or directory)
E: failed to mount /system (No such file or directory)
# MANUAL MODE #
-- Appling Multi-CSC…
E: failed to mount /system (No such file or directory)

E: failed to mount /cache (No such file or directory)
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_recovery

E: failed to mount /cache (No such file or directory)

E: failed to mount /cache (No such file or directory)
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_install
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/last_install
E: failed to mount /cache (No such file or directory)
Then it goes into recovery and when choosing “wipe data/factory reset” it basically repeats these error messages.
I’ve tried flashing firmware using Odin.
The phone goes into recovery mode and Odin identifies a connection.
Then, when choosing the firmware it opens the connection, hangs for a while (nothing changes on the phone’s screen) and then it fails.
I am using firmware downloaded from SAMMOBILE website.
Reading around the forum there is a lot of reference to the “emergency / rescue firmware”, but the downloads the thread is pointing to no longer exist. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/general/odinfirmware-sgsiii-i9300-prerooted-t1825272 )
Does this mean my EMMC is dead or is there still hope to recover the phone?
Can someone please help?

@Schmoopy: here's a German alternative to repartition.

This is hardware brick, not software. You will not be able to even boot the device soon. Sorry.

If it's stock recovery then your emmc could be borked.
Sent from a stolen phone!

You can try my instructions here: IF this doesn't work, your emmc is dead.

Thanks
Thank you all for your replies
Does anyone know of a service that can replace the emmc in the UK?

I can flash any ROM but any of them Work...

Hello. First I was using the cyanogenmod firmware 5.1. One day my phone just restart and stay freeze at the Galaxy S3 Logo. I tried lot of methods like flashing another roms, stock roms, etc via ODIN and all of them seens to work fine but... it didnt. When my phone restart and beging the self installation process it give me an Error always the same error with any ROM.
P.S.: I cant join recovery but i CAN join the download mode obviously.
Heres the ERROR:
# Manual Mode #
-- ppling Multi-CSC...
E:failed to mount /system (No such file or directory)
can't mount '/system (No such file or directory)
E:failed to mount /data (No such file or directory)

I have tried to wipe cache partition and do a data/factory reset, but without any luck.
When I try to do a data/factory reset it says:
Code:

E:format_volume: make_extf4s failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p12
Formatting /cache...

E:failed to mount /cache (Block device required)
E:Can´t mount /cache/recovery/last_install
E:Can´t open /cache/recovery/last_install
E:failed to mount /cache (Block device required)
I tried to flash again from the sdcard, same errors appear. Lauching a file manager from sdcard is impossible too.
Concerning ADB, the phone is detected, but flashing give an error. Odin doesn't detect the phone.
Anybody can help me ?
You can take a look at this video:
Last functionning ROM was S7710XXAMB6_S7710OXEAMB3
Thanks in advance
