Help! I rooted my Galaxy S3 about 3 months ago. I wanted to return it to stock without root so I could use the stock recovery and receive the new 4.4 OTA. I found a file online off a YouTube video that I thought was for my phone. I flashed it using mobile ODIN and when it powered back up, I had no mobile network and could not make or receive calls. I tried another file I downloaded and I installed from zip when I was in receovery and now the phone will not power up and does not have the light on when its connected to a charger. It seems to be dead.
I installed from zip because it kept failing when I tried to use ODIN on my computer.
How do I fix? Can it be fixed? I don't know anything about all the technical stuff such as modems, kernels, etc. I should have left it alone!
Any suggestions?
It's an AT&T Galaxy S3 SGH-1747

sound like you've hard bricked your phone
here's the fix: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2549068 BE SURE TO READ IT THOROUGHLY
if that doesn't work for you, JTAG is your way out
I apologize if i am not as clear in this post as I need to be. My dad tried to root his note 2 sgh i371 using odin but said that once he did this, he was unable to access the internet outside of connecting to wifi, he could not get any cellular data. Because of this issue, he tried to then un-root his phone by flashing 4.1.2 stock rom. Unfortunately, the issue of not being able to get cellular data persists. In his frustration, my dad bought a note 3 and gave his note 2 to me saying that if I could fix it I could keep it. This is my first android and I would like to make it my primary phone if possible. what I would like to simply to reset the phone to factory default settings by flashing the latest stock rom for the phone. I have Odin, I was hoping that someone could tell me where I could get the latest stock rom and, if they believed that flashing it would fix the cellular data issue. I do not believe my dad made a backup at all. Thank you in advance.
Not sure where and what I have done wrong.
I wanted to root my Tab S 10.5 (SM-T800), so used Odin v3.07 also tried with 3.10.6 using CF-Auto-Root-chagallwifi-chagallwifixx-smt800.tar and also tried CF_AutoRoot_Port_T800_BeansTown106.tar but rendered my WiFi useless, it just constantly scans, says saved secured, lit in blue signal, tried 2G and 5G, no luck.
Next I tried to put back to stock firmware T800XXU1ANF8_T800XAR1ANF6_HOME.tar but gets so far then just fails.
It is a new UK Samnsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 UK.
I am novice so please be gentle regarding tech talk lol.
SuperSU v2.01 Chainfire Installed fine
I would prefer rooted with wifi, failing that i want to go back to stock
Any help appreciated

Have you performed a factory reset or full data wipe from recovery? (flashing an Odin package does not wipe data).
Wifi and bluetooth disconnecting can sometimes be resolved by deleting the wifi and bluetooth (or bluedroid) folders located in the /data/misc directory. A factory reset will also remove those directories and allow them to be re-generated after a reboot.
There is also KitKat firmware (4.4.2) available at sammobile.com that you could download and flash through Odin.
So I rooted my phone (s4 mini i9195i), installed lineage OS. Because the phone was giving me too many problems, I used Odin to flash back the stock ROM (netherlands version) from Sammobile. It was a success. But since I flashed the stock ROM I cannot enable the wi-fi. I tried so many things from the internet (service mode window, clearing cache,etc) but that does not seem to work. I have no clue what the problem is and how to fix it.
What I am sure of is I have been using wi-fi before this. I also see that the IMEI is PASS. Can anyone please help me with this issue.
