What exactly is happening? Can you get into recovery or d/l mode? Do you see Samsung logo when powering on? What were you doing when it happened?
Info ppl, need info/details/processes/first born/and blood type! Lol

hmmm...if you can get into recovery then you are only soft bricked, so don't fret it's okay it can be fixed. We've ALL done it at least once
Download Odin to your comp or any derivation thereof. Download your stock firmware and put your phone into download mode and flash back to stock. Or reflash whatever you were flashing, but without a custom recovery, it might get a little complex.
How did you root on stock recovery????

Reflash CWM thru Odin. Then do a fresh install.

People really need to do some research. If you don't know how to recover from a bad flash or boot loop, you should not flash anything until you do. A good rule of thumb: before you flash anything, make sure you know how to recover your phone if it borks something.

Dont panic, you got a soft brick so you can restore it Odin. Next time backup your current rom via Android before flashing. Get on Odin, it is your friend and will save your phone

It sounds like not everything was wiped so when it tries to boot up your rom, there's something conflicting it. Or maybe the system partition was wiped so you're not booting anything at all. So just odin back to stock like what everyone has been saying.

I know from experience that you can't be prepared for everything when you are new. When I first bricked my phone I was surprised at how calm I was though. My phone would not even go into download mode without vol up/down then plug in USB. I was panicked on the inside, but xda and YouTube got me through it.

I must be the odd ball out. Before I decided to even attempt rooting for the first time, I read about everything involved (cwm, superuser, etc), and read through all of the threads so I knew everything that could go wrong during the process, and how people were getting out of it. Then, before I attempted to flash any mods or custom roms, I read some more to thoroughly understand what a bootloop was, what a brick was, what order people were doing everything in to get the best results, and again, what people were doing to get out of "trouble". So, before I did anything, I knew exactly what could happen and exactly what everyone was doing in the event of a bad flash, etc. Personally, I will never flash anything to a $600 device without knowing exactly what it does or what it could potentially do if I screw up. And I always make sure I know how to get out of a bad scenario before I get into one.

Ok. So my phone was not factory resetting right. Could not mount sd ext was the error. I ended up formatting everything in CWM in advanced menus like an idiot. Do I just re flash something through odin to fix? My phone will not boot past the GS3 screen but I can still get into recovery.
You deleted whatever Rom and kernel you had. Put a Rom on your sd card and flash it through recovery.

Ok that definitely won't work. Now i plugged my phone into the wall, it wont charge. It will vibrate, show the battery icon with a loading icon inside then go black. Won't boot and looks like its not charging...... am I screwed?
Edit: I mean i guess i could charge the battery on a different s3 so i can boot back into recovery or dl mode but what from there. Is there any way I can restore all of the stock files? I'm at a complete loss for what I should do next...

what rom did you flash in recovery and what recovery are you using? what was the error you got while flashing a new rom in recovery?
as mentioned earlier, if you want to flash a stock rom, you'll have to odin it. you should still be able to flash other roms in recovery regardless of what you wiped. every time i flash a new rom i wipe system, data, cache, and dalvik-cache.
semi noob?
Think ur a little more than semi noob. If u wiped the system that is why you dont see a battery charging. Those files are in system. Which u wiped. U still have recovery so DL a rom, go there and flash it. You'll be back in buisness. Don't necessarily need Odin here but if you don't know what to with it u shouldn't be here yet. Go back and read up a little b4 u brick.

I am always entertained by people being rude while trying to "help" I hope you feel better about yourself now that that is off your chest.
For the record. It is not as simple as flashing a new ROM. Doesn't work. Thanks for your very insightful advice though.
I need to find a way to get my battery charged for now. I will post more when i can get into my phone. Thanks for all the responses so far. I will try ODIN when I get my phone booted up but I'm skeptical about if it will connect to the computer or not since it won't charge. We shall see.
This is what you need to do.
First. The above poster is correct. IF you formatted everything, that means you probably formatted system. If you do this and dont install a ROM immediately afterwards, your phone will just boot loop since it has no system files to load. Flashing a ROM should fix this problem....unless the problem runs deeper. If you ONLY formatted your phone shouldn't be soft bricked....it simply has nothing to load besides CWM. If for some reason you do need to use ODIN to get your phone working again, watch this step by step video by qbking. Since I am new, and apparently an XDA criminal, I cant post a direct link. so search QBKING Galaxy s3 unroot on youtube.
P.S.
For future reference...make sure you know exactly what your doing before you start doing things in clockwork mod.
A 500 dollar paper weight will keep you up for a few nights, trust me.
I accidentally flashed Google wallet AS my recovery. A long 10 mins with odin and a stock root and my phone was exactly how it was before my accidental loss off recovery. Read up on odin, and only use pda function. One mistake and then you learn to check what you're ABOUT to do.

I have used rom manager in the past just to boot into recovery... I don't know why but for what ever reason, today I decided I was going to update to the latest AOKP, I launched ROM MANAGER to check which version of clockwork I had installed, it said I had the latest so I chose the option to reboot into recovery, phone turned off I thought it was going to reboot into recovery but it never turned back on. I can't get my phone to power on, I also can't get it to go into download mode. No signs of life... Looks like phone shopping time. And I did do some research on this and seems I am not the only person this has ever happened to.

Yea I honestly think developers of new roms should block access to Rom Manager it is obviously buggy and for what ever reason it CAN brick phones just by trying to reboot to recovery... who knows how that is even possible. A reboot should not brick a phone it doesn't make sense to me... so rom manager must be doing something crazy when trying to boot into recovery unless someone knows how I can get my phone to download mode it honestly seems bricked.
So you were on clockwork recovery?

Yes clockwork mod recovery was installed... I have used it numerous times with this phone to flash roms etc... the problem isn't with clockwork mod, but the app ROM MANAGER that you can use to flash clockwork mod recovery and also use to boot into clockwork mod recovery.

They should stop cwr then because if my phone would at gotten bricked i would at been going ham wordd specially if its a known issue
Maybe using adb you can delete everything and then Odin back. Just an idea. I've never truly bricked so no real experience except knowing that if you can connect through adb you may have a chance.
Excellent luck to you. This almost qualifies as a development article.
More like a :Notice: of some under development. Good for others to know.. I my self in the past have used the cwm.APK to reboot many of times so maybe its the ROM plus cwm combo that caused this problem. Again, just speculating.

I use ROM manager all the time. All I do on it is flash the latest official CWM though. I never download or.flash ROMs off of it. I think that this mishap was specific to your situation.

My PC doesn't recognize it at all nothing... are drivers needed in order to get to download mode? I just installed windows 8 via update and kept all my old settings, before this happened this morning I was able to access my phone and everything like normal in windows 8... just curious if you can get to download mode by hooking it up to a wall charger and the volume buttons... Just to see if the phone will even get to download mode. I have tried volume down, volume up and down, power volume up and down... nothing is working doesn't make any sense.

T989 comes up as an option to install clockwork mod recovery. Again I have used it for a long time but have never installed a rom through it... just used it to flash clockwork and have booted to recovery a few times. Usually I would boot to recovery the manual way but since I was already in Rom Manager to check clockwork mod version I just tried to reboot into clockwork from there since I was already there.

So this is kind of a unique issue i'm having. I have the I-747 on AT&T and flashed AOKP rom (it was taking too long to get JB). It worked for about 3 days and then got stuck in the android boot screen (used the rom feature to get rid of the pink unicorns). after that, I booted into recovery and reset my phone, and it worked again for a few more days, then it wouldnt boot again (I dont believe I changed any settings between the boots). After this time, it wouldnt let me boot into recovery and would only boot to the android start screen and stop. I used odin to flash the stock rom, which only took me to the 2nd samsung boot screen and stopped (after the AT&T splash shows up). I looked online and saw someone say try CF-root using odin, tried that and it didnt help. Then tried using a custom kernel siyah s3, and now it will only show the initial samsung splash screen before turning off again. Any suggestions here? I figured I'd stop researching since i dont want to really mess up my phone worse than it already is

The first boot can take as long as 5 minutes sometimes. So, if you haven't waited that long, then try out some patience. Otherwise, try booting into recovery (stock now) and factory reset.

I let it run for 2 hours (left the house came back and i was still on. And phone wont boot into recovery at all ( i tried many times, but it just boots normally and skips recovery until it gets to the 2nd samsung screen, then stops there).
I dont know if this is relevant, but while the phone is off and plugged in, i can still see the battery meter and the Green LED (so i'm guessing it's still working, it just wont boot)

I'm not really skilled on these things, but I once had a similar issue with my phone not booting and had to end up using Kies to emergency restore it. Odin wouldn't recognize my phone but kies would.

Sure, I'm doing this largely from memory since I mostly figured it out by throwing stuff at the wall to see what sticks.
Open Kies->tools->firmware upgrade and initialization->enter model name then serial number (they're behind the battery) -> put the phone in download mode and plug it in. it should take care of the rest.
Fair warning, this will fully wipe your phone, i lost all my pics (thank you google+'s instant upload or i'd be PISSED) and titanium backup (there goes my 3 stars on every level in angry birds and great scores in temple run), but at least you get a phone that can function as more than a paper weight, right?

Yes.... I have flashed the stock ROM 4 to 5 times. It flashes successfully, reboots, and sticks on the Samsung Logo screen. Tried to reboot into recovery, and as long as I am holding the 3 buttons for recovery, it goes into a boot loop (like it tries to go to recovery, it isn't there, and reboots).

For recovery
- Power Down + Home + Power
- Release Power at first sign of SAMSUNG Logo EXCEPT Power Down + Home
- Release Power Down + Down at first blink of Samsung
- Once in recovery, factory reset, format option
- Reboot, wait for 1-2 mins

Of course this would happen today, where warranty replacement will take 2 days to get to me.
I already installed and ran (barely) Triangle Away, and got the counter reset so I am good there for warranty. I am begging the community for two things.

Can someone point me in a direction to hard brick my phone???
here is the pit and when you go into recovery you have to factory reset or it stays bricked http://db.tt/gKSxQKWJ
go into odin and place the stock rom in pda then place the pit on the top where it says pit and make sure to click repartition.then when done take the battery out boot into recovery then factory reset and it should work.

I feel so stupid. I didn't release power while trying to get into recovery. Although I have another problem now, and the searches online don't look good.
My Baseband and IMEI is showing as "Unknown"... Also the phone is very laggy.
EDIT
On this thread I started out by saying that I think I clicked Re-partition, but I actually think I accidentally clicked Nand Erase All... I can get to download mode and recovery mode, but my phone shows Baseband and IMEI of unknown. Any help?

Does using odin to flash the stock firmware restore baseband? Or flashing a moden? Also did you ever make a backup that included your efs folder? If you did restore that backup:thumbup:

The directions that you provided to me required QPST installed for an app that they have.
Can't get the program to see the phone though even though I put it into modem mode.
EDIT
Yes I can get to recovery and download mode.

FIXED THANKS
Lesson learned don't flash at 4am dumb **** happens
Try to reflash the stock rom via odin need to boot into cwm and clear every thing first. Hope that helps. Hope someone else has something else to add. Good luck..

Have you tried holding power+ vol down+ home button? To get into download mode? If you can do that then you'll be able to flash the stock rom again

Yeah, it's not dead. If you can't get it into download mode normally, a jig will.
heres deal i can get into download mode or I can get into CWM but the CWM i flashed is old or something and doesn't see my sd card (the extra sd) it sees interneal but only can flash update.zip
I went from nothing, to orginaly stock recvovery to this old cwm its what the sg tool kit did... i dunno
So I can get into download or recovery but i deleteted my rom so nothing boots... Im not sure how i ****fed this up I dunno what to tell you just explain what mode to go into and where to download a odin file i can flash that can magicly fix my phone enough... if I can just flash twrp ( i dunno if there a oidin twrp avaible) I can reinstall my rom I am backed up.... I Have backup on my EX SD CARD and on my computer.
so its not dead its not hard briock but i need fix this and i need someone to explain to me. I worked all day i lost sleep over this and im tired **** just help me out please thank you so muich
LINKS for me be great
