Try doing a hard reset and start again
Yea make sure it says added when connecting to Odin. Also make sure before flashing that ROM on Odin u flash stock recovery! That's prolly why it failed. I grabbed stock recovery from the sgs3 toolkit in dev section start toolkit up and flash stock recovery then Odin the rom
Make sure you don't still have kies running in the background on your pc. This happened to me, updated phone via Kies, went to flash with Odin, it would recognize the phone as connected but wouldn't make any progress and then timeout. Realized kies was open, and closed it, immediately retried Odin and it worked as usual
Thank you guys. I was at work just got home and will try this all and let u know.

I accidently wipe my phones internal storage including backups, Im running latest TWRP and it wont read my sd card. I have a custom rom on the sd card but i cant access via recovery. phone boots to recovery and even download mode but i dont think my usb debug is checked and i cant get thru with odin. Im crunched for time as my wife is coming home in an hour and she will be furious if i bricked my phone i need help restoring before she gets home. thanks.
Heres how I fixed the problem, it was easy after doing but confusing getting there. Since the phone would not boot past the galaxy s3 screen there was no way for me to select USB debugging. That option totally did not allow me to use the Galaxy S3 toolkit listed in android development nor could I select and run any of their lists of "Root" roms because something would happen where ODIN didnt boot it correctly. It ran it at first then "Boot" came on then "Reset" came on then "Pass" came on but nothing ever took. I went to samsung-updates.com selected the ICS factory rom and saved it to desktop. Then I unzipped that rom to unveil the TAR file and flash that via Odin and Bam it ran thru no problems. The problems I ran into earlier were links from other posts and it turned out they were either bad links or not for the phone. I actually tried one guys download link that claimed to be specifically for the T999 us version and it turned out to be for another phone all together Im just lucky that flash didnt brick my device even more. Anyways Odin was my friend it was just a matter of downloading the "Correct" rom. thanks to all that helped I appreciated you all taking the time to answer.
I would download this tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746682. You should be able to use your PC to flash your Nandroid, although i have never done that.
It doesn't matter if USB debugging is checked if the phone is off.
when i boot to recovery it boots to manual mode anyone know what to do next?
You can flash stuff from your computer in download mode through Odin. I hate doing it myself, but will try to look it up for you

Boot to Recovery and reset factory defaults. That will fix it. It will still "stick" on that screen, but after a couple minutes, it will continue.

I booted to recovery did a factory reset but it still stayed on the samsung galaxy s3 screen for over fifteen minutes now. I even tried the rom toolbox someone suggested earlier but upon flashing a stock rom it prompts me to check usb debugging and I cant get past that screen.
Stock kernel! That should do the trick! Can't believe I forgot about that. Try that and it will boot up fine.

I was running paranoid android prior to this mess and yes your probably right about the kernel but I have downloaded from samsung-updates.com the ics kernel patch but its in a zip folder so i DL winzip to extract it but that doesnt seem to work either. IS there a stock rom download with a kernel i can download and use with odin?

Check the dev section. There should be a thread there with stock rom and kernel flashable thru Odin

Found a rom and a kernel in the development section and ran it thru odin and it still didnt take. I noticed that the rom flash thru odin only took about two minutes and not once did i see where the modem cycle was being applied. Still no luck for me. Since my phone does not boot pass the galaxy s3 screen is it possible to get the phone to mount via usb cable and copy the roms to internal storage and install via recovery?
Finally got it working again. Thanks to all that helped.

Solution goes as follows;
1)make sure you try every port before freaking haha
2)make sure you use the original PDA from sam updates http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SGH-T999
3) dont be afraid to ask for help haha

ok so last night I decided to try out the encryption option on my t mobile t999 and all went like it was supposed to. It rebooted a couple times like it said it would then when it rebooted to put in pin I entered the pin it started decrypting. I left it for 4 hours well it wouldn't work so I pulled battery and retried and left it go well it hung for hours. I proceeded to try a factory reset and it kept failing at the /data "cannot mount"... I tried wiping the internal SD it too failed. so now im trying to odin the "official stock" image it keeps getting hung at the "NOH-HLOS.bin" for HOURS anyone with anything please help me out
Can you boot into the system at all? If so can you install any apps?
Are you rooted?
If yes to all try Mobile Odin to flash, may be able to work around the problem....im not sure.
Otherwise try using goo or rom manager to install recovery and then flash another rom.
Not sure any of thatll work, just some suggestions.

Long story short, just got my GN2 off craigslist and it has SuperSU installed but no memory card was included. Does that mean it was already Rooted or is Rooted and if so how do I get it back to factory settings like it would come if I bought it from the store?
I'd prefer to try and Root it myself later.. Thanks
UPDATE, Need More Help Please...
Ok so after Rooting I have come to a problem, my Note 2 won't connect to my laptop anymore.. I connected my Galaxy S3 to move some of my media and pictures to my Note and it said installing drivers (I thought nothing of it) then I tried to connect my Note and it wouldn't connect.. Is there something I did wrong or what? I have USB debugging on and when I check the drop down box it shows "Connected as a media device" but it's not showing up as a drive in My Computer
You need to get the stock tar file and flah it with odin that should get you to stock and remove root.

Thanks for replying.. Any chance you know of a step by step guide??
I tried doing a factory reset on the phone and after it was complete SuperSU was still there
1st. Go to System setting /About Device / look if you see any custom rom name in it . If not then your phone only root.
2nd. Unroot is easy , go to superSU app /setting / Full unroot .
3rd.Triangle Away to reset counter
4th. factory reset
5th.done

Just to say, I have rooted a lot of devices and this is the first time this has ever happen to me!
While in recovery, I hit the wipe system button and now the device says that there is no OS on the device and is stuck on the boot screen. Is there any way to correct this? I am so lost without my GN2!

if you can get in to download mode you have nothing to worry about. as long as it's not a hardware problem that really wasn't caused by flashing.

This just happened to me. I had to put it in download mode and do a restore through samsung kies.
I just did the same thing...I wiped everything then the zip file was corrupt and instead of restoring I rebooted the phone, now the phone boots straight to download mode and odin wont do anything as it's waiting on usb debugging to be enabled....
ugh!

You need to use the One Click Restore method found here :
Mirror 1 (Latest Version) - goo,gl/PZgtX
Mirror 2 (Older Version But Might Be Faster) - goo,gl/L9Nct
IMPORTANT: You Need To Install goo,gl/ETEQs If Your Computer Says The Installation Failed Use a Different Computer Because That Will Not Work!
I had this problem just yesterday and had to figure it out by myself. This will solve your problem.
