I just flashed a kernel i found online and my phone never booted after i tried to turn it back on, so i went back to the site where i got it only to find out the kernel was for the international version. Now i cant boot into recovery, download, or charge. I'm not sure if its just dead, but does anyone know if its bricked or how i could fix it.

its hard bricked. Only way to fix is with a JTAG ive heard alot of good feedback from mobiletechvideos http://mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-jtag-brick-repair/
Chances are its hard bricked. But if you can get Odin to see it, it may be possible to save it.

Definitely sounds like a hardbrick. I would say go with the JTAG video, I helped a friend fix his hardbrick with that as well. But next time make sure you triple check what you're flashing!!

This is a definite hard brick. The Intl has its kernel on /mmcblk0p5. On our s3, this is the location of the bootloader. Its fukd.

I was using Odin3 v1.85 to upgrade my GN CDMA version to ICS 4.04 using the Firmware update "CF_YAKJU_IMM76D_full.tar" and it failed on the last step. I couldn't get it to finish and when I reset and disconnected it now gives me a image showing a cell phone on left a yellow triangle with "!" in the center and computer image one the right. What do I do. I've tried to enter the recovery mode by restarting the phone holding the power and vol up key, but it goes back into the same screen. I was following instructions on android advices site. Any info or instructions would be greatly appreciated.
It's because you tried to ODIN a GSM image onto your CDMA device.
If the phone starts (and is recognized by the computer) you're probably far from bricked. You should try to connect and fastboot flash the 4.0.2 images for your CDMA phone, or use a toolkit (or maybe even ODIN) to try it.

What toolkit to use? Wug's Toolkit GnexRoot Toolkit 1.3?
Could someone please point me to a step by step thread to help me recover this. I know I'm a newb and a "dumbass" as someone so eloquently put it.
Thanks.
Do you know how to fastboot?

I guess I did know how get into fastboot mode (hold vol up/down key and power on), but I can't get into fastboot mode! This is what my screen does no matter what I do. What direction should I go to get this to boot back up?

Ouch. From my time using smart phones, one sure fire way to brick a phone was to flash a GSM radio onto a CDMA device (or vice versa). I'm fairly new to Samsung phones and not that familiar with odin, but if odin pushed the gsm radios to your phone...you may be SOL.
Hey i accident did a system wipe instead of doing a regular wipe and i can only boot into fastboot mode now when i try to boot normally it only stays on GOOGLE screen with the little unlock symbol but like i said i can get into fastboot mode. I tried using the Gnex toolkit 7.4 but it wont downlaod any roms because it says it cannot connect to Goo.im anyone know how i can get a rom on this thing? THank you in advanced.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
Well...coincidentally goo.im is down.
But use post 3 of my guide (or your ******* toolkit if you insist) to push a rom.zip to your phone and install it.
Wiping system just wipes the rom.
So if you have a download for the same rom you were on...you can simply flash it and not wipe anything.

I have been trying and trying and now i am more lost than before i dwonlaoded the ADB files and all. For anyone who wants to help that doesnt know my situation its this, i acciently wiped system and i cant get past google screen as far as booting goes but i can get into the fastboot screen and into recovery. all i need to get is be able to put a rom onto the phone and ill be fine. Usually with my past phones that take SD cards this would have been easy but it doesnt i need a method to push a rom. I attempted to use Nexus toolkit 7.4 but goo.im is down. I had a file from im76k but i dont know why it will not push. ADB isnt recognizing my device and i dont know what to do anymore i need help please
then do this and return to stock.

This method is basically same as the normal stock rom flashing tut, EXCEPT the way you get into Download Mode as your phone is HARD BROKEN.
1. Download all the files required in the "SOFT BRICKS" Prob, (Just Google that).
2. Remove everything from your phone (SD card, sim, battery).
3. Plug your phone into your computer WITHOUT the battery.
4. Press and HOLD vol. up and vol. down.
5. As you are HOLDING these buttons, reattach your battery.
6. You should be in Download Mode.
7. Now flash ur Stock rom via odin...
Hurrahhhhh..................

have you tried remove battery and put it back ?
mine have same problem this moring, hope it'll help :fingers-crossed:
I came here to post about the exact same issue. Went to bed last night, phone was working fine. Woke up and the phone was dead. At first I thought it was kind of odd because it had over 50% charge when I went to sleep but I just assumed that the battery died. Plugged it in but still nothing, changed to the spare battery and plugged it in and let it charge for 4 hours but still wont turn on.
The phone has spent it's whole life in an otterbox defender and is in otherwise mint condition, running the latest stock rom/firmware. What would cause a phone to just up and die?
Update:
Took the battery out of the phone and left it out for about a minute, put back in and the phone powered up. Strange.

It appears to get to the part where it starts to load the OS. In this case try to get into recovery. If you can get into recovery, great! Then just adb sideload the latest ROM from OnePlus.
