Can you boot normally? Recovery? Do you have the T999 or T999L? What is currently running on the phone?

Ok, that makes much more sense! Shouldve included all of that in your op. I've never done a hard brick repair myself, so I'm not sure ill be able to help much.
Its possible that whatever you did to brick the phone screwed up other partitions that are not included in the stock firmware. Where did you send it for the repair? Or did you try this on your own?
If you had someone else do it, I'd contact them and ask why they didn't reload the stock firmware for you.
I always recommend www.mobiletechvideos.com because theyre the only ones I've ever seen people post about In this forum. Everyone who ever posted about them said it worked great and they got their phone back really quick. You may want to look them up.
If I can think of something for you to try, ill post back. I just don't want to tell you to do something that makes it worse! I suspect though that whatever caused the brick may have tried to overwrite the SBL1, param, or some other partitions. These are not included in the stock firmware so just flashing it would not fix it if this were the case. Thats pure speculation, and I could be wrong though.
If I find more info ill let you know. In the meantime, how did you brick it, and how did you jtag it (yourself or a shop)?

[Q] Help Me Please. Soft Bricked SGH-T999

Hello people, here's my situation
I installed a bad Custom Bootloader ROM on my phone from my SD card that bricked my phone and put it in a boot loop.
I had CMW as my recovery and I factory reseted. Still stuck in Boot loop.
So I tried to recover my phone using A SGH-T999 Stock ROM with Odin.
Here's what I see:
Get pit for mapping
NAND Write Start
Boot.img
Complete(Write) Operation failed.
Now when i rebooted it now says that a firmware error occurred.
I wasn't even in a boot loop anymore. The Firmware error happens instead of that. Then i couldn't' go to recovery mode anymore. I Found Root66 for SGH-T999 and tried to flash it.
It failed when it was like 99% done but it restored my phone somewhat…..(I was back at boot loop again but I was able to access recovery mode again, except that it was STOCK RECOVERY now.
Kies doesn't see my phone it just says connecting. Today I left it 7:30AM to 4:15 PM. And it STILL said connecting.
Nothing Will Flash. I all i see is.
Get pit for mapping
Complete(Write) Operation Failed.
That's literally what happens. I don't see no NAND Write Start or anything. It happens every time for pretty much anything.
When I access Recovery, It is Stock recovery and not CMW anymore. So I can't flash anything off of my SD Card. Probably because the ROMS are not signed.
Here is some info from my phone in download mode
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SGH T-999
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: YES (3 Counts)
CURRENT BINARY: Custom
SYSTEM STATUS:Custom
QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE
Warranty Bit:1
BOOTLOADER AP SWAEV:1
What do I do?
Do I have a $500 Paper Weight? Or is there hope?

What root66 are you trying to flash? 4.3 or below?

Below. It basically went to 99% and failed in ODIN.
It did get rid of the firmware error but my phone was back in the bootloop. At least I was able to get recovery mode back.. Except that it's stock recovery.
As of right now,
Here's what I have
1. The phone is in a boot loop.
2. Download mode is accessible
3. Stock Recovery Mode is accessible
4. Every time I try to flash something onto the phone using odin, it says this before it fails:
Get pit for mapping(I have to wait for like 10 Minutes straight)
Complete(Write) Operation Failed
What do I from here to fix this. All I want is to get the phone running again. I don't care if it's back to stock or rooted.

Download and flash the 4.3 root66.. It won't flash anything lower because i think you have the 4.3 bootloader

Flash a recovery and then flash a ROM.. Probably not the best solution but worth a shot

[Q] Might have bricked (Firmware upgrade encountered an issue) Can get to bootloader

Okay I have been having issues galore trying to update my Sprint SPH-L900 to the new 4.4. Mainly unexpected errors package when trying to install. Already wiped cache and factory resetted. Still on 4.3 I hope now Kies3 will be able to help. Sunofabit KIES CRASHES AND NOW I AM STUCK ON FIRMWARE UPGRADE ENCOUNTERED AN ISSUE! I can still get into bootloader thankfully. Trying to flash back to 4.3 or 4.1.2 gives me a sboot.bin fail on Odin.
I also tried a second computer with Kies 3 to upgrade firmware initialization and it just sat there with Kies dimmed the whole freaking night! It'll say it's downloading the necessary things to do it and then it just sits there with Kies dimmed.
I have no idea what to do What should I do from here??
Any help here please greatly appreciated!

Looks like you will have to wait for the official tar from sprint. If you can get a custom recovery flashed via odin then you will be able to run custom roms till the tar is released.

What would be a good custom recovery/custom rom I can get real quick if you can help??

http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/l900
use version 6.07.9
1. open odin (recommend 1.85) and uncheck reboot option then click pda and select file
2. boot phone into download mode and connect to pc
3. flash file from odin
4. disconnect phone from pc and remove battery
5. while holding vol +, home key, power key insert battery (just to make sure it boots into recovery)
6. flash whatever rom you want aosp or touchwiz

No flash the linked recovery only. Download 6.07.9 with the md5 extension.

I am in recovery now!
That's one step closer to where I want to be, thank you again

Now just flash a custom rom. If you want stock 4.4.2 I have that too. I would even hook you up with my S5ish tester version if you want.

Hi, im having similar issues and i tried your method above, with odin 1.85 and i cant get past the bootloop (samung logo) screen. I am relatively new to this and was on stock MK4 and flashed the 4.4.2 OTA file that was posted on XDA because i was too impatient to wait for the OTA. After flashing the 4.4.2 file, i decided i was going to go back to Stock MC2 (Billard's file) and just wait for the OTA updates all over again, which has proved to be stupid on my part. As i was going through the process of receiving the OTA for MK4, the phone just got hung up on the Samsung logo screen and i havent been able to get it back to normal yet.
I have tried your method above, tried going back to MK4 through an Odin Tar, tried flashing TWRP, and ive gotten nowhere. Ive spent the last two days on here, researching and downloading files that have worked for others. Im at wits end.
Any advice, aside what you've described above would be very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance for anything you can do.

Samsung Bootloop After Updating to MK4
I'm also having a similar issue. I'm able to successfully flash garwyn's modified mk4 stock rom using odin, but the original tar file always fails instantly after attempting to flash sboot.bin. When the original tar file is flashed, the phone reports "Unsupported Version" in the download screen. I was able to flash the stock mk4 recovery and the twrp and philz custom recoveries, but I was not able to get into the recovery mode. The phone remains in the "Samsung Galaxy Note II" screen when trying to boot normally or get into recovery. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

S3 keeps rebooting into recovery

So this is just a quick question. I've never had a phone reboot into recovery mode before, I've just had them either straight up hardbricked, stuck on logos, not booting, or only booting into Download Mode. From going through other threads (I used the search bar before asking this question. *shock&awe*), I'm gonna assume this is also considered a soft brick.
I'm not sure what was done to the phone because I upgraded to an S5 and passed this S3 down to my little brother who tried to flash another ROM. It was working fine on one of the stable versions of SlimKit before I got the S5 if that matters.
So my questions:
Is this considered a soft brick?
Would flashing stock everything resolve this issue? (reverting back to Stock everything, then reflashing custom ROMs)
Is there a simpler way to resolve this issue to avoid going back completely to stock?
Thanks for looking everyone.

Yes, anytime you can get to download mode or recovery its considered a soft brick. A hard brick will not boot anything at all.
Flashing stock firmware will be the best option imo. But you could just try flashing a rom. You will likely have to factory reset in either case.
If i had to guess, he probably formatted /system and then the rom failed to flash, leaving it with no OS.

I haven't tried to do anything with it until he gets home, but best bet would be the following? Let me know if something's off or if I should do something another way:
Download stock firmware on the SD card
Factory reset
Flash stock firmware
Flash custom ROM
Reboot
At any point would the phone get unrooted? I'm gonna just make sure everything's set to go when the little bro gets home.

You cannot flash stock firmware from SD. Here is what you should do:
1) download stock firmware to your computer
2) factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik
3) flash stock firmware with Odin and make sure the device boots and works fine
4) flash custom recovery
5) flash custom ROM
6) reboot
Edit: also make sure you flash the correct firmware. For example if the device was ever updated to 4.3 then only flash that 4.3 build, any other that is lower will fail. And yes you will lose root when you flash back to stock but it doesn't mean much at all. You can gain root easily

I keep getting this issue in ODIN when I attempt to flash a stock firmware. Any ideas?

Ate you sure you have a T999, not a T999L.
Also, if kies is on your computer, uninstall it.

It's a S3 from T-Mobile directly, so I think it's a T999. I have Kies 3 for my S5 installed, so I'll go ahead and uninstall to try again. Will report back.

Check the sticker under the battery. T-Mobile doesnt sell the T999 anymore, only the T999L. Depends on how long ago you got it.

I love you. Be back after getting the right firmware.

Just fyi in case you didnt know, there is an ota available for the T999L.
After flashing your firmware, go to settings , about device, and tap software update. It should update you to the latest build. (Still just 4.3, but i imagine its a bugfix/security update).
If you are up for putting in a little extra time, i can help you pull the ota (after downloading but before flashing it). If i can get a hold of this ota i can make an easier update method available for other members since no firmware has been released for it.
If you dont want to thats perfectly fine btw. Im sure someone else would get it soon.

i have cwrm installed. i think somethings wrong with the bootloader? Havent used android inyears so. i dont know whats going on...

donwload TWRP to your phone model, use odin to install and trie to do a reset factory, after that donwload firmware http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1968625 copy to you phone and install use twrp

I would use Odin to flash TWRP recovery and then factory reset it, or use it to flash a rom, ur CWM may be too old to flash newer roms, try an updated version of TWRP

No if u flashed the wrong bootloader or something it wouldn't even boot, there would be no coming back from a bad bootloader flash, I would try installing TWRP and then reset, then flash it stock with odin

Odin is failing because the ROM you are trying to flash has a bootloader that is older than the bootloader in the phone.
Before flashing anything else, I recommend finding the bootloader and modem version of the phone. Once you have this information, you will have a better idea of what you can and can't flash. An incompatible bootloader/modem combination could hard brick the phone too.
