You're not bricked. You just have the wrong kernel.
What ROM were you running previously?

Since you can get into Odin mode, grab a stock one click and get back to a working state.
Just go to the Dev section, stock rom repo and a full restore one click..

Let's just keep this simple and get your phone back in an operational state.
Then we can discuss more of where you are, where you want to go and how you're going to get there.
We don't know what you were running, what you flashed, etc to answer a furry of questions.

I don't think you're following the instructions correctly that MoHo gave you.
Go to the REPO. Select a One-Click Full Restore. Those have to be run from you PC.
Put your phone on the charger and turn it off.
Download and extract the One-click.
Launch the OneClick
Make sure you phone is charged to over 60%.
Get you phone into Download Mode - Power + Volume Down then Volume up to confirm.
THEN Attach it to PC and it should show up in the One-Click on some COMM port.
Click start and let it finish till it reboots your phone.
Then go back and read a whole lot more about what you're trying to do. Or yes you will brick your device.

Ok.
That issue, versus what we thought were the issues from the start, doesn't seem like what you flashed would have been the cause.
I'm not doubting that you believe that you're doing the flash process wrong, I'm doubting that the flash process is actually happening.
When you used the stock One Click, what did you use and what did you see?
To get the battery charging you may need to flash a kernel.
I would try just that in Odin - FL24, for example - and see if that helps.

Okay so if you can get into recovery, then you should just flash any ROM from the development section of these forums.

You flashed a different phones rom. Which means the scripts and the radios and everything is off. Don't flash anything that doesn't have a T989 flashable thing oon it. You got lucly. Most people have a full brick. Be careful next time. And go to the Developers section. Download a stock 2.3.6 or Juggernaut v.4.1 and flash in this order
1. Place file on root of sdcard
2. Reboot recovery and wipe data/cache/dalvik cahce (found under advanced)
3. Flash the rom you desire
4. Reboot.
5. Let it sit for a good 10 minutes

Answered you in the other thread you posted as well ...
IF you can get to download mode, find the Stock ODIN flash for t989, and follow the directions, ODIN does not care how full your SD card is ...
Then just odin. Find a stock one that has an Odin Rom next to he title and flasheed that.
1. Go into download mode, turn off unplugged. Then hold volume up and down and then plug in usb chord.
2. Open up odin 1.85
3. Click the pda part and browse foot your rom.
4.click start and be patient don't touch anything

Yes and NO ...
the term flash or flashing means writing new files to the phone ...
ODIN is pretty much a Samsung factory tool, it will overwrite anything that is on the phone with what you are trying to flash ..
Flashing from CWM recovery is a "Softer" way of doing it, it may or may not wipe, it may or may not replace corrupt files, depending on where and what they are ...
IF you are having major trouble with your phone, and can still get into download mode ODIN is the cleaner way to flash it back to stock, but, read read read read till you understand what you are doing, then read it again ....
Hi, I just rooted my E4GT on FH13 through this method. Could someone point me to a simple step by step way to get a custom rom?
You need to make sure you odin in a custom recovery -- I recommend EL26.
http://chris41g.devphone.org/index.php?dir=EpicTouch/Stock+Repack/EL26/ -- that's where you can get it
once you have that, you need to follow these steps:
0) READ THE OP OF THE ROM YOU WANT TO FLASH!!!
1) nandroid backup your current stock rom
2) format data, cache, davlik, everything
3) format again
4) flash .zip of the ROM
5) enjoy

What is it doing? And what did you do?
In mobile odin lite, i opened the stock CWM.tar.md5, hit open and then hit flash after it came up. My phone is now just flashing blue if I just hold power then going back to the battery charging screen, If i hit power and down then it goes to the reboot/install but reboot just sends it back to the battery charge screen.

So you got into the custom recovery? If so, follow the rest of the steps. Can't stick around any longer, but good luck... I hope you can do this.
what rom are you trying to install?
If it's a popular one then QBking probably has a video on it.
If not, you can still pretty much follow the process.
Check this one out, for example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHSZRC-vurw&feature=plcp

X2 I love the Paranoid Android Rom. Had it on my Epic with the keyboard and I put it on my Epic Touch the day I got it
I agree that PA is a good ROM and I can't wait until the source is released for jelly bean so the battery issues are fixed.

I'm very comfortable with flashing and using custom roms, I've been doing this since the original Droid.
I rooted my GS3 right after I got it, and it was great until the OTA updates started coming out too quickly.
I like having root use, so I decided to flash the new blazer rom, I always liked the one for the gs2.
So I download it, put it on external SD, go to clockworkmod, nandroid backup, wipe data/factory reset twice, flashed the rom.
It won't turn on. It just buzzes, shows the samsung screen and shuts off.
Fine, it doesn't work i guess. So I go to put it back in recovery. NOTHING. just buzzes a few times, that's it.when charging while off it shows the battery icon, but when i hold volup home button and power it acts like it's going into recovery, then shuts off.
I don't know what to do I've never had an issue getting any phone into recovery.
HELP!!!!

Did you try unplugging the phone, pull the battery, reinstall battery and then boot to recovery? If that won't work or volume down for download mode then I would say likely bricked.

Nope, brick is that...a brick, does absolutly nothing, no power, no buzz, no LED, no nothing.
Soft brick, some sign of life, like they describe in OP "Samsung screen come up, then phone buzzes and shuts off".

If you took any OTA, Samsung patched the stock recovery to rewrite itself everytime it boots. I suggest you odin VALEN (LEN stock 100% stock), and start the rooting process all over again. Look up QBKing77's videos on youtube on how to unroot SGS3 and how to root it and you'll be back to where you want to be.
Blazer didnt brick your phone. You did by accepting the consequences of flashing a 3rd party rom on your device. the warnings are in post 1 of his thread

The point is that when I flashed that rom, the phone stopped working. period. I understand he isn't liable for anything that happened. but it doesn't mean his rom didn't cause the problem.

I think whoever said that if i had ever accepted an OTA update a few comments ago hit the nail on the head. my kids were playing with the phone and accepted it about a week ago. it didn't work obviously, but i guess it re-wrote something that is causing this issue. I'm going back to stock whenever the VPALEN stock rom is done downloading. It seems sprint or google or samsung doesn't like us to mess with the phones, and keeps putting out "fixes" for people who have rooted. it'd be nice to watch my movies on there without worrying about the drm but at this point I'd just like my too damn expensive phone back lol.

This is exactly what I was about to suggest. File corruption is actually quite common and you can get a bad download just by downloading a file straight to your phone. Try re-downloading the file on PC, then transfer it to the device.

Have you tried a factory and data reset to factory settings from the recovery? Usually fixes the problem. Always do that before and maybe after a custom rom zip installation.
He said it wont boot into recovery, but he didn't answer whether or not he can get into download mode. Thats his only hope if recovery isn't booting.

Okay so my dumbass rooted my phone and didn't select a recovery menu >_> wasn't planning on installing anything because everytime i have my phone ends up running crappy even after going back to stock. anyway i just found out that there is a multi window mod but i have to flash it and a rom (Thanks to the guys who made them) do i have to flash to stock then go and re root or can i just run the root program again and this time select a recovery?
You didn't puy any recovery on? So that means you still have the stock one? If not I would say to go through ODIN and flash the phone back to stock, then re-root with TWRP. One of the devs here have a 1 click exe to recover stock through ODIN (saved my ass last night when I wiped the rom AND my recovery folder )

Download the exe. Put the phone in ODIN. Once the exe is running, plug in the USB and his start. About 20 minutes and you'll have a clean, stock rom on there. You'll need to re-root once done.

Hmm... you didn't read and follow the directions exactly? Not too much sympathy here. Sorry to be an ahole, but jeez, look before you leap. It literally takes 5 minutes to read and 2 minutes to follow directions.

My question is y root at all? If there was no purpose its seems a little silly. Just my 2 cents.

I'm rooted and running stock right now. Waiting for something that works across the board for me. But I do like to try everything that comes out Also apps like Lucky Patcher need it and I installed the DPS audio manager.
Of course, as soon as CM10 starts rocking the BT streaming I'll be a downloading.
When I first rooted for some reason I couldnt get a custom recovery to stick. I tried multiple times with no luck so eventually I just downloaded goo manager and installed custom recovery script that way. Worked like a charm. Maybe you should try that. Would save a lot of time and effort.

That's because the file on stock roms called /system/recovery-from-boot.p will re-install the stock recovery at every boot. So the trick is to boot straight into recovery and delete that file. Or, flash the Superuser.zip in recovery, boot Android, use an app to delete /system/recovery-from-boot.p, then flash a custom recovery again and you'll be fine.
