NAND Write Start failed while installing firmware on my S3. - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi. My phone died a week ago, days before it was rebooting by itself, one day in one of the reboots happened like a "half factory reset", some apps were missing and some apps werent. I did a factory reset, it kept rebooting, next day it didnt turn on anymore, it was stuck on a bootloop. When i went to recovery mode i had E: failed to mount /cache /recovery no such file found etc. I thought well, my recovery died and i will flash a new one... right..
I tried flashing a recovery, the same NAND error appeared on Odin. I downloaded a firmware assuming the firmware was the thing that died, i tried installing it again with Odin and:

Odin fails to flash stock rom onto S3

I'm having trouble with flashing the stock rom for the Samsung Galaxy S3 on Odin, as I get a fail everytime I try to flash the rom onto my device.
This comes up everytime I try to flash:

The model number is a GT-i9300, and no stock roms so far have succeeded.
I have used Odin 3.07 and Odin 3.09, my samsung drivers are up to date and Odin still fails to flash the rom.
I've also tried different usb cables, along with trying out different ports, none of them have worked.
On the S3 it's currently running TWRP version 3.0.2-1, it also asks me whether or not I keep it "System Read only" whenever I go in recovery mode. And each time I always choose the option of keeping it read only. I don't know if these has anything to do with Odin failing to flash the rom but might as well mention it. I was also running CyanogenMod13 for roughly a month before the brick happened.
Any help would be appreciated !

Hi, after NAND Write Start!! and this double !! means it start to WRITE on your Device Flash Memory when this fails it means that the cable dont transfer correct data / Cable Connection OK but wrong cable cannot write correctly on your device
I recommend you to use Original cable when flashing or a other cable but look for the compatibility to devices:good:
as far as I know it cant be a other opportunity to fix this because in the Download Mode of the s3 is the only way to Flash Original Firmware when this fails i dont now how to continue and i cannot help you more than that
And sry for my bad as fu** English

Boot Loop After Trying To Root

Ive been having the problem since i rooted it via iroot on my phone.
its a note 4, SM-N910F. Ive tried many things to get it out of the loop for example hard reseting it via recovery mode but everytime i try it the page dosnt show up it goes to download mode and with an error saying couldnt boot normal mode.
ive tried to download stock firmware and flash it via odin but everytime i try that it gives me an error, i dont know if its the wrong firmware i downloaded or its the phone itself. on sammobile i couldnt find the firmware i was looking for because i live in australia and there is no international one available,if anyone could help me out it would be greatly appreciated.

Help?! Samsung Galaxy S4 Won't Boot.

I made the mistake of rooting my phone with KingUser Root. Not Kingo, but the one you can "root" without a PC. At any rate, when the latest Pokemon Go update came out I was unable to play. I tried unrooting with the King software, but it failed. So I tried a method I found online to installe SuperSU over King and then attempted to unroot it with its proprietary software...only to have my phone soft brick and at first it would only boot to the Verizon Splash screen...
So, I downloaded ODIN, downloaded the appropriate files or so I thought and attempted to flash to recover it. Now it won't boot past "Software Updated Failed: please run VZW Software Update Repair Assistant" and that doesn't work either... any tips as to what I can do? I can still use download mode, but recovery mode won't load.
It's the 16 GB VZW SCH-I545 version.
It got stuck here:

G925V stuck at Verizon logo

Hi my device is S6 Edge G925V (Verizon) and previously on Nouget. My issue is the device is stuck on the verizon logo for awhile then it reboot (it would repeat this cycle forever). Quick backstory to how this happen, I performed a factory reset using the recovery menu and this where trouble started. So far I have downloaded multiple stock firmware from sammobile. I have also downloaded multiple odin version (3.12.7, 3.10.7, 3.10.6, 3.09 droidviews). I have tried multiple cables and port (my laptop only has two). Every time I run the odin program, flash process would always pass but when device reset it would still be stuck at verizon logo. I can still access recovery mode and download mode. I can clear system cache and did factory reset but this led to same result. I just tried again today with Pit file and the result is the same.

I also tried using the samsung smart switch but it doesn't get recognized. I tried to use the emergency software recovery and initialization but I don't have the serial number. I opened the device up and it only has IMEI and SKU.
I'm at my end's wit with this phone atm. Is this issue caused by locked bootloader? Any help would be much appreciated.
