You need Odin installed on your PC, and this file I have attached. Turn your phone off, hold down both volume buttons and hook up the USB cable which is already connected to the machine running Odin. Open Odin, and select PDA, find the file you downloaded from this post and select it. Now click start in Odin & violla !
Ahh k will it wipe my data. The reason I asked is since i'm rooted with a stock ROM with clockwork recovery installed,.will I still get ota's.

No it won't wipe your data.
As far as OTAs go, it has to be stock everything.
seems to be stuck and setup connection, does it take a long time?

According to someone no you can't. You need stock recovery to get OTA.
You can flash back to stock recovery by http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1319830

You guys ROCK perfect thanks for the help.

Boot into recovery. Stock recovery, CWM, and TWRP, will all work. Wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache. Reboot, you should be golden.

Doesnt odining a complete stock image pretty much just flash over the recovery and everything, therefore shouldn't be necessary to do that. I could be wrong though.
I cannot get into recovery only dl mode

Damn... Well if it doesn't boot, I really don't think they'll know you messed with it. You don't have a tell triangle do you?
You might be able to lie to the insurance and say a child did something to it...
If it doesn't work, then you have a very nice paper weight, which sucks..

Sometimes even in Odin you may have to do a factory reset after words to get it to boot had it happen all the time on epic touch... Had to Odin back to stock from cm because of the emmc brick error...

Well if you flash twrp with odin and have it not autoreboot you should be able ti boot into brand new twrp shouldnt you? I never really messed with the 4g touch when I had it. But when I had the galaxy nexus I had to do that a couple of times.

True, but I don't think that'll fix my issue. I need to remove twrp, get stock recovery, and completely get rid of su and anything that vibes with it

this is the rom [ROM][MD4] ヅ Wicked Sensations Rom v4.2✭AnaKonda Theme✭Twisted Pink Theme✭eREDicate but I cant remember what the kernel was dumbass I know thanks in advance for any help...
You should be able to go into recovery, if you can just go into recovery reflash the rom and let it boot. If not go into download mode and using Odin flash a stock md4 you can find a 1 click zip in Freezas stock rom thread.

Go to this post and follow the instructions there apparently this can recover some S3s http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43362886

I bricked my S3 a couple of weeks ago too. No boot. No recovery or download mode or anything. Completely dead. I ended up using these folks for JTAG repair. Came back in like 3 days good as new. Service isn't cheap but its cheaper than buying a new phone.

Not sure. Check their website or email them. They are based out of Texas so for me it was a quick turnaround. They brought my S3 back to life.

please heelp!! urgent!!!

i need a update.zip or a root.zip so i can root my gs3 i747 if exist :\ couse my usb port is damage any expert please!!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
If your S3 isn't rooted there is nothing you can do with a .zip file since you need a custom recovery to flash a .zip
And your USB cable is needed to root as well.
Someone feel free to correct me but I think you're out of luck until you find a USB cable.
