[Q] i9300 soft brick - please help

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)

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.

Does anyone know of a service that can replace the emmc in the UK?

Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-i9300 stuck at boot logo

The phone can boot into Download Mode and Recovery mode. I've been googling about this problem for like a week now. the first attempt that I did was using Odin and downloading the *.md5.tar for my phone. It gave me several errors:
<Download mode details on the top left corner:>

Next I tried recovery mode. While entering recovery. I got errors also:

Please help
UPDATE: While I'm attempting to restore the *.zip update with ADB. The process goes to:
loading update.zip
sending update.zip ?? % (with underscores spazing from left to right)
and then looking from the phone.
it says:

Try using different USB cables and USB ports to flash with Odin. I also recommend using Odin 3.07 as that has always worked for me.
Borked recovery. Flash back to stock is the best option but if that is failing then you don't really have much choice.

I did borrow an original cable from my friend. The error is still there. I also tried plugging the cable from the rear usb port.
But thanks for the reply. I hope that others can find this helpful too

Hmm.. "Borked recovery"? You mean that every command / operation that the recovery mode is performing are being blocked by the system itself? or you mean by errors in files inside the eMMC? There is no proof that the eMMC is damaged because it can boot to Download mode and recovery mode. I am still wondering if the recovery, download mode have their own eMMC.
BTW is it "ok" to use an SDHC for recovery image (selecting "Apply Update from external storage")? bcoz its the only one I have ATM (and no cash)
I am willing to go for SD card as an internal memory for the phone. I've read many articles about running your phone from SD card if the internal memory. But with one disadvantage. Read and Write are slower than eMMC. As much as I want to perform this operation but I don't have JTAG or other tools to start with. I also don't know what resistor to short.

Samsung galaxy tab 10.1 2016 staying in recovery mode and then turning off

I know this is the wrong place but there isn't a forum about the 10.1 2016 so i'm doing it here.
my screen is flickering.
when it is connected to a charger is automatically turns on, then it says installing system update but then it says erasing.
then it goes into recovery mode and says:

and after 3 seconds it turns off for 1 second and then it does the same thing over and over again

but on what device do i download it because I cant download it on my tablet
You are need 1 PC and cable.
First download Qualcomm 9008 driver and download Odin and stock firmware.
Select your firmware in Odin and let program fix your tablet.
Ok so turns out i just needed a better charger and needed to charge it somewhere else because after leaving it to charge somewhere else i came back and the white line was gone and the screen wasn't flickering and the recovery menu was there.
Also how do i mark something as solved?
