If you can access download mode, flash a new ROM using Odin. Check the dev thread for whatever rom you wish to use. As long as you can get into download mode you're fine.

put on charge around 20 min
hold power button, vol down, and home until you will see download mode
after you know what to do...(download Lite'ning Rom and flash from ODIN, after take any rom you want)
Next time when you flash ROM
wipe everything
wipe catch
wipe dalvik
go to mount remount
wipe catch
wipe system
wipe data

thanks for the help, but i wrote in the original post that i cant get into download mod :/
when the phone is connected to the charger there is no sign of charging.
i though to send it to Samsung labs but the phone was bought abroad and they don't have international warranty on mobile phones

Get ahold of a USB jig, which may be able to get your phone into download mode.
THANKS FOR THE HELP GUYS
ill keep trying
Hi, this phone can take a while to build up a decent charge, leave it for a couple of hours, if it still wont turn on just double check nothing is obstructing your battery contacts. If all ok then go to your nearest phone shop and explain the problem, ask if you can borrow a battery for a minute just to see if you phone boots. If it boots then it is either not charging or your battery is dead. See if they will let you plug if into charge in the shop with the borrowed battery in, if it charges then it just sounds like you have a duff battery.
Hello, so i have a international S3 and have flashed ROMS since I got it. I am running Omega JB V28 with Syiah Kernel 1.7rc. All is fine for over a week. Just right now my phone froze and did not want to wake up, So I held down volume up, menu button, and power button to restart my phone. I accidentally let go too early before I saw the Galaxy s3 logo and now, I cannot start my phone??? I cant even go into recovery mode.... Any suggestions on how to get this to work??? thanks!
Try this:
Take battery out for 5 minutes and place it back in. Then do the required combination to get into recovery. If not try download mode...
If that fails... put the phone on charge and hopefully the battery will show up showing its charging. If not I can give no more advice.
Hope this helped.

Tried all of the above, took battery out, recovery didnt work. Battery out agin and download mode didnt work. Pluged phone in charge and not battery images. Tried recovery and download mode while phone plugged in charger and still nothing happens. It is weird cus I didnt prick my phone or anything, it was fine for a week. Just tried to restart it and let go to early and no this happens :/
As warranty is void you are best to source a USB recovery jig to access download mode before anything else .

You certainly pricked your S3 by at most flashing a non compatible rom for ur S3 (international) or u just messed up with something during installation,head to samsung customer care.

my phone has been rooted and flashed Omega ROM since may. The phone was working fine for 2 weeks after flashing the new Omega JB Rom v28 and it just shuts off and not power up now. I heard of people installing wrong ROMS or wrong versions of it then bricking their phons, but my phone was flashed the correct ROMS and was in a working state for 2 weeks since my last flashed ROM, never heard of a phone bricking out of now where after u've just used it... I am stopped and dont know how it happened :/ i ordered a jig and thought that might be my only way out. Anyone know if you can restart ur phone from download mode?

I may be ,isunderstanding what you are asking here but are you asking how to get your device in to download mode by using a button combo like getting in to recovery mode if so:
ODIN/Download Mode
Make sure your device is completely off
Key Combos: Volume Down + Home
While holding both of them simultaneously press the Power button until the green robot is visible on the screen indicating that handset is in Download mode.
Then press Volume Up to accept the disclaimer
Recovery Mode
Make sure your device is completely off
Key Combos: Volume Up+ Home
While holding both of them simultaneously press the Power button

A JIG is a usb end that plugs into your phone and forces it into Download Mode, all you would need to do it plug it in and it 'should' go into Download Mode.
Then hopefully you know what to do from there

USB jigs are great but most people only order one when they get a problem. I have not had a problem yet but I think its time to order a USB jig just incase

I actually am familiar on how to go to download moe and recovery mode. The weird thing is that my phone is unresponsive. It doesnt go to download mode or recovery mode at all. With no signs of life. And this happened yesterday morning after i used my phone for like 5 minutes when it was fine. I didnt brick my phone cus I wasnt flashing anything when this happened I just tried to reboot my phone and once the screen turned off it never came back one... kinda wierd and un heard of. But I did order a jig so hopefully it can be forced into download mode and take it from there....

Im running into the same problem.
I can get to the download screen but unfortunately do not know what to do from there (tried Odin and heimdal but still wont boot)
Just as another note I was able to get to my DL screen by removing battery > installing battery > holding both volume buttons then plugging in usb.
Just in case u cant get to it.
If anyone knowledgable can pm me i would appreciate it (phone is not for this forum) because i do not know what to do after i get the dl screen up apparently.
THANKS!
im having the same problem did the jigg work
You can't get into download mode? Or it won't work at all?

wont turn on or go into recovery or download mode dosent even show batt on screen when i plug it in
Only thing I can think of is a crap battery that needs replacing.. You could also go to a metro store and ask em to restore it to stock. Almost all of em have the Samsung factory device. If u can get it into download mode I have a thread where I put instructions on how to recover from brick. (After 6 days of trial and error).

The jig or the Samsung device?
I havnt used the jig but tons of people have with success. You can make one or buy one off eBay for like $10.
The device I have used before on someone else's phone, AND you can use it to unlock your phone.

hello, yesterday i have flashed a wrong firmware. i took the firmware from i9100.
my phone is i9100g. now i want to flash another firmware with odin but i can not get into download mode.
i take off the battery, put in again, press volume down + home + power button.
nothing happens. yesterday i could get into dlm, but today nothing happens.
i can start the phone. if i turn on the phone, i see the exclamation mark as here: http://cdn-static.cnet.co.uk/i/c/blg/cat/mobiles/rootingsgs2/rootingsgs5.jpg
how can i unbrick my phone an flash the original i9100g firmware ?
Are you sure there isn't any timing problems for the three button combo? Take out battery, reinsert. Press home, volume down and power simultaneously. Then volume up to continue. If it can go to the samsung logo, it definitely should be able to go into download mode.
Or, try a USB jig (its cheap and worth it, or you can make it by following plenty of tutorials here). It forces the phone into download mode.
Alternatively, if you have ADB set up and had USB debugging enabled on your phone, you could reboot into download mode by using adb reboot-download.

If you have screwed your device I have absolutely no sympathy for you. Maybe you will learn to read/research properley before flashing in future.
If you cant go into download mode try booting into recovery mode and restoring backup or flashing zip.
errr....i think he did get to download mode....he just didnt know what to do with it. NOW he's up for a solid XDA-READING night.
hell man, push those buttons like theres no tomorrow until u get to DLM!

* take battery out of phone
* launch Odin
* locate ROM you would like to flash
* plug ph into pc/laptop (nb, battery still out of ph)
* holding button combo for d/l mode insert battery (extra helper maybe needed)
* 'if' ph gets into d/l mode, flash ROM
NB, this saved my S2 from BSOD

Hiiii....i have experience in rooting flashing and unlocking/locking boatloader..but this time i gotta a problem my phone got bricked when i was trying to flash standard rom from custom rom dont know wat hpnd but ended up wid brickid phn..here is the difficulties im xperiencing wen im trying to unbrick my phn..
1)i think my phn stucked up in midle of something as i flashed wid standard rom..suddenly ended wid an error,now wen im trying to on my phn its just flashing red light near led..
2) when i connect my phn to pc wid usb or charger it just showing red light in led
3) wen im holding power button for long time its blinking red light for abt 3 sec nd getting off agn,,
Dont wats gng on..dont have idea i always used to play wid my phn..but nw its playing wid me..plzzzz give me any solution guys..
thnx in advance..
It shows a red light, eh? Try this - take the phone and take its battery out. If the battery is undetachable do a hard reset - volup + power for up to five seconds. Then without pressing any other buttons it plug it to a charger. Now wait for the charging logo to come up. If it doesnt check your charger or the phones battery/usb slot. If it does show the logo , wait for it to fully charge till the led is green or something, and without detaching it from power try to go to recovery mode. If your phone doesnt have a custom recovery connect it to a pc and use sony updater service it will update it to StockJB
Try that, and see if it works. Also, if you failed, describe which step failed and what did the phone display...

i think problem is your battery....
just try with another battery...
or firstly charge your battery full...
then then try flashing...
OR else flash stock ftf using flashtool....

Well in that case, I believe the phone might have its firmware missing, including the boot.img. My best guess is going to a sony service center and having them instal stock rom if they can. Or you can try it yourself with SUS\flashtool but i doubt youll get it into flashmode.

Charge ur phone with PC. There might be chances that u go into that white background charging logo( this happens generally after 20-30 minutes of continuous charging).
Then unplug ur device from PC and try to reboot in system or bootloader. If u were lucky then u will boot in the same. And if not then repeat the process.
This happens with me also. I do the same and I receive my phone.
Hope this will also work for you else time to buy new phone.
Leave your phone in charge for 1 day and then turn on your phone next day. Hopefully it would get started. I too faced the same issue but this method worked for me.

Yes I was able to go in recovery mode. The incident happen 2 years back, so I don't remember clearly. Previously I thought that my device had hard bricked but it was soft bricked. Just try to go in recovery mode if you can then kudos or else you have to sideload the rom.

Your decice is alive.
Just leave it for charge with different good charger(don't use stock charger). Leave it for 6 hours and then try. Hopefully it will get switched ON.
