I tried and same thing it passes in Odin and then when rebooting it gets hung up on the black screen with the white "Samsung Galaxy S3" screen.
Please help I dont know what else to do or what else to try?
I didnt remove the md5 off of the file like one person said to do mainly because im not sure how to but other than that I am lost

Is there something i was supposed to do with the dll file that came with it as well? I mean i have to be doing something wrong i just dont understand why its saying pass but is still hanging up at that galaxy s3 screen right after the samsung screen?
I am so in need of help

I too am having the same issue, and I have tried all the stock ODIN roms.
I am stuck on the samsung screen too. Any one have any ideas? I just tried to flash CM10 today, when I have been on CM9 since the beginning of July, so... long story short I could not get back to CWM after CM10 boot looped me.
Any help?
Thanks!

When you download either one..its a zip file. I used 7zip to extract the tar file and used ODIN to flash it. So I'm lost when you say you changed the file name. Shouldnt have to do that.

No I know I did the same exact thing. Someone else said that he deleted the md5 extension at the end after the tar to get it to work I have done it both ways doesn't make a difference. I can still get to Odin mode as well as stock recovery just can't boot...

If 3e is the factory recovery i have already tried that multiple times.

Maybe something didn't flash properly through Odin. Sucks to say but redownload the stock file.

GREAT NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I FIXED IT....
OK if anyone else runs into this what i did was change two things and one of the two worked. FIrst of all I had been using the newest Odin 3.0.7 I downloaded Odin 3.0.4 instead and tried that. The other thing was I used the older Samsung ATT Image which was the i747UCALEM image rather than the newest one.
I noticed right off the bat in Odin it said PASS in green as soon as it was done where as before it would reboot the phone before saying PASS. So I watched my phone reboot and get pass that darn Galaxy screen and about laid a flipping GOLDEN egg! LOL
:highfive::highfive::good::laugh::laugh::victory::victory::victory::victory::victory::victory:

Nice man. Congrats. I still use Odin 1.85 lol ..

HAHA, i hear ya bro I am thinking more or less thats what it was.

Can anyone explain to me why the OP was having problems, now that the solution has been identified?
I'd like to understand issues like this before flashing myself.
Thanks.

He was using a newer version of ODIN (3.0.7)...so he tried an older version (3.0.4) and it worked.

That's why I'm saying to get the stock ROM tar file and use Odin to factory restore your device. If you use Odin it overrides custom recovery

its the one for odin, has bootloader, pda, phone, csc, those staff,

The one in the post I gave you should only be placed in the PDA section of Odin and you flash it from there and we will see if that works. Make sure you right click and rename the file by removing the .md5 label leaving only the .tar making it Odin flsshable

Yeah try stock Rom from above post, most likely it should work,

I dun goofed

Tried to root the company S3, hard bricked it. I'm guessing I flashed the wrong files.
Phone turns on and shows Samsung for half a second then turns back off.
Can't enter recovery.
I've been looking around for instructions on how to fix this however I cannot find a definite answer. Any help is appreciated!

Funny I tried it countless times before posting here and I try it again and I am able to enter. But I have no idea what to do now?
Things on my Nexus are a lot easier lol

You need to use Odin to flash the stock firmware back on there. I found this post that has the stock ROM files for Odin.

If you can get it into Download mode you should be able to flash back to stock using Odin I think, I hard bricked my s3 4 days ago, I took it back to at&t and I received a brand new one .

The problem with this is that when I try to reflash it waits for adb mode and stays stuck there. I think USB debugging is disabled and I have no way of going in and enabling it.

This is what I'm trying next, currently downloading stock files.

Got it back up with ODIN! Thanks!!

[Q] BRICKED?!?!?!

So i saw that jelly bean 4.2.1 came out so i wanted to give it a try. I flashed it and everything was gone, i reflashed back to 4.1.x. both are aokp. After that i read about the sdcard0/0 thing and i copied my cwm files from /0 to sdcard. I tried to recover it back to it was before i upgraded to 4.2.1 but something went wrong. it said error while restoring /system or something like that. I think what i did wrong was that i forgot to wipe everything before recovering. So now my S3 is stuck at the pink unicorn boot... Im unable to go to recover mode, download mode is my only option. HELP PLZZZ

You're not bricked..
If you can get into download mode flash a stock rom thru Odin.

-Get on a PC
-Run Odin
-Put your phone in download mode
-Plug in your phone so Odin sees it
-Grab a rooted stock ROM from the dev section
-Put the .tar file in the PDA section of Odin
-Click start the Odin processes
-Success back to stock!!
And begin flashing all over again
I might add if you don't understand advanced setting it think you might mess something up... Stick to just regular flashing

You can't flash Odin files thru recovery
You really know what you're doing right? Because it kind of sounds like you don't (no offence)
Odin a stock ROM
After you do try to boot up to the Samsung e3 recovery
Wipe your phone and reboot it
Give it time... Stick roms can take up to 10minutes to completely boot up..

If you Odin and factory reset and everything then yeah your data is gone.

[Q] HELP, I Soft Bricked my SIII (I747M)

Hey guys i'm new to the forums and looking for some help.
I've rooted my S3 succesfully and installed CWM as well as flashed the updates for it, but after flashing the CM 10.1 ROM i cant't seem to get passed the CM logo, the screen just stays black. I've been looking through the forums and managed to find some stock ROMs but for some reason Odin(3.0.7) keeps giving me a fail message every time I try to do it.
Please help me I would just like to start from scratch and give it another go, is there any sort of guide to just reset everything either using Odin or from recovery?
Thanks

I've tried flashing a few stock roms and they all fail using odin, am I doing something wrong? And i can't flash from recovery because ic ant access internal storage while its stuck at logo.

To use Odin:
Usb in the back of computer (#1 on a laptop)
Reboot computer
Phone in download mode (volume down+ home+ power)
Run Odin as administrator
Use a known good cable
After flashing back to stock, when you get hung up on boot:
Pull battery, wait 2 minutes, reinsert
Boot into recovery with button combo, factory reset, reboot.

I've restarted and ran as admin, tried multiple ports and still getting the fail message when I click start on Odin with my md5 file under the PDA slot, could it be a bad file?

And you have to extract the file one time after downloaded.
