Okay first you're in the wrong forum, so I'm assuming you tried to root with the wrong rooting method because you have a gt-i9300...go check out the international S3's forums and maybe you can find an answer there?

All else fails, you can always download a stock .tar and revert back to stock. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2258628 is a pretty good How-To. Just substitute the OUDHS recovery .tar for whichever one you want to use.
THANKS
Thank you so much to every one finally i can solved my problem with my s4, now root again and put a custom recovery

I need help. ASAP
ok heres the deal I upgraded to 4.3 via wifi on the phone then i rooted using cf autoroot which was supposedly knox undetectable, it wasnt my knox is now 0x1, and i restored my data,cache, and boot that i had from 4.2.2 and then it went to a black screen when booting with the led functioning. so i flashed to stock using odin and it worked but wifi sound and sd card did not work so i tried to upgrade via kies thinking it would solve my problem, it didnt it crashed at 43% and put me in firmware encountered issue mode so i went to download and flshed 4.2.2 stock multiple times but no success with wifi or sound please help. it is all stock i erased all memory and retored to stock. 4.2.2 stock Bell Canadian i337m. Please help.

To Go stock, you need to flash it via PC ODIN. Any other route won't work.

[Q] sprint note 2 odin fail s.boot bricked

so I rooted my galaxy note 2 from Sprint with Odin and it said that it was rooted but the superuser would never work so I did a factory reset to make sure that wasn't the problem and it just got stuck on boot loader on the Samsung icon and it never turns on I tried installing the stock firmware for the Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 2 with Odin and every time I got to S.boot it says fail my phone has been stuck like this for about a week now and I have not found anything to fix it I found a thread saying to install an alternate stock firmware without the s.boot file but it was only for Verizon phones I have not found one for the Sprint any help would be highly appreciated

What file were you using?
Without more info I would suggest using odin and flashing a recovery then flashing mc2 stock with counter reset. Dont remember exactly who made it at this moment but scan through development section and you will find it.

It's failing at sboot because you're trying to downgrade on a secured bootloader. You can't downgrade. You can only use the latest stock firmware.
This is the stock 4.3 image for use in Odin http://www.mediafire.com/download/7viivd985s7cp8l/L900VPUBMK4_L900SPTBMK4_HOME.tar.zip
To get into download mode use vol down, home, power. You'll need Odin 3.07 or 3.09. Put this in the PDA or AP tab. DO NOT MESS WITH ANYTHING ELSE IN ODIN.

I know exactly what you need to do, go download this and flash with odin, then flash a custom recovery and flash MC back to stock unrooted

[Q] Soft Bricked Note 2 Verizon. HELP! URGENT!

I am not new to rooting and flashing rom however, I switched from my rooted GS3 running CM11 to the Note 2. I flashed the stock firmware (root66) and made the mistake of running the OTA 4.1.2 update which caused my note to be soft bricked. The phone boots to the samsung logo and freezes there. I flashed several stock firmware using odin that pass but when my phone reboots it freezes at the samsung logo. I can not access recovery mode, only downloading mode. I know its a way to fix this I'm just not sure how. Any suggestions?

Easy peasy, flash philz v5.00.5 (not the latest) through odin then u should be able to access recovery, from recovery flash a custom ROM so u can get unstuck, then when everything is fine, flash a stock rom from sammobile and hopefully it should work.

Smack the thanks if I helped.

[Q] samsung galaxy s3 SGH-I747

So i bought a samsung galaxy s3 SGH-I747 here in milan. i unlocked it. and didn't realize it was rooted, so i try to unroot it using this method
-----------------> /watch?v=djcq5Wgf9zo[/url]
i did it but, it wont read my simcard, the IMEI in null/null, the camera was all dark, and all different kind of problem acured, by the way, it was running android 4.0.4 ... so i though if i root it again the problem will go away. but it didn't. so i tried to intall kitkat 4.4.2 and g'app. i used this method -------------------------> watch?v=V8mEcfJcxy8[/url]
when i was trying to install the kitkat, it say it faild and aborted i guess, but i was dumb so i install the g'app and it was succesfull, then i install the kitkat rom but still faild. so i delete the partition, and format and reset. then i rebooted it, but everytime i turned it on, either it goes to the recovery mood, or its stock on samsung logo. and now i dont know what to do ??? please help..
i tried downloading the stock firmware and using odin to flash it, but it always fail, i dont know why. i tried installing samsung keis but it wont recognize my phone please help........
Is your phone the i747 or i747m? What firmware did you try to flash using Odin?
